“Our usual sitter was unavailable and we had to scramble to find a place for our rescue Layla to stay. From the moment we walked into Stephen and Erica's place for the meet and greet, we instantly felt at ease, and Layla did too. She loved being able to play with other dogs, and the big backyard area. We received updates throughout our vacation that really put our minds at ease. Definitely would recommend!”
“Mario is fantastic. We have a small, crazy doggie, with issues as far as the eye can see. Mario does a great job putting her at ease and working with her personality. I am always nervous to leave her, but she comes back happy as can be! I highly recommend Mario. Great, attentive and personalized care for your dog. ”
“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”
“Wei did a great job! She kept me updated and sent pics daily. She was accommodating with pickup when we were unexpectedly delayed on our return. My pups seemed happy with their stay — I’d definitely recommend Wei!”
“Chris took superb care of Bob. He was flexible and adjusted to Bobs needs specifically going above and beyond supporting Bob as he recovered from an urgent veterinarian proceedure that popped up the day before his stay began. Reallly appreciative.”
“Boba’s first time staying with Kazu and Yuko was awesome! Communication was great and consistent. They provided daily pics/videos and I can tell they gave him a lot of attention during his stay. He came home tired and happy :) Will gladly bring him back for another stay. Thank you!”
“My dog had a minor health incident while she was staying with Remo, and he was so great with taking care of it! He always sends multiple pictures of the dogs out for walks.”
“Tina was great with my little guy. She was kind and loving to him. Got lots of pictures throughout the day and they got it and about. Prince even got to do his favorite thing, sunbathe. I am using Tina again right away!”
“Kitty was very kind and our dog Pepper had a great experience. Pepper is a puppy and got good exposure to other dogs in a safe and fun environment. She came home happy and tired. We will definitely use Kitty again, thanks!”
“Shirley was great sending pictures from morning to the night. With pictures, she gave us detailed feedback of how our dog behaved in different situations which can be valuable for us. Also, she was understanding changing drop-off and pickup time during the day. What can you ask more than having your dog in a nature friendly environment with a personal care?”
“Communication from the get go was great and I was proactively given regular photo and video updates. Oukley seemed to have a good time playing with the other dogs and seemed well taken care of. Would book with Yu-Liang and Yu-Ting again.”
“Ming-Ching was fantastic! She's super nice, thoughtful, and attentive to our dogs needs. We have a bit of an anxious dog and she was understanding and able to accommodate her. She even pulled our dog out of her shell and sent us plenty of pics with her tail up, wagging, and happy 😊 Her backyard has plenty of space and our pup got lots of walks. Thanks Ming-Ching for a great experience 🙏”
“Ivan is friendly and his home and two dogs are lovely. He has a nice backyard so dogs can go in and out, and he took Ginger on a nice run-around so she was returned happy and tired. Will definitely hire Ivan again!”
“Very happy with whole process of working with Gordon - from the Meet & Greet to pick up. So glad my cousin referred me to Allison and Gordon. Will definitely reach out to them for future dog sitting needs!”
“Data, my 100 pound German Shepherd, usually stays with his girlfriend Repunzel when I am out of town but She was sick so I searched Rover for sitter. Evie’s location was nearby and when I stopped by for a visit I was impressed with the large amount of lawn area for Data to explore. Evie kept me up to date with pictures and activity reports which I greatly appreciated. I’ll be going on vacation this summer and will be using Evie again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsborough
Kyra has such a nice time with Camille and clearly feels super comfortable staying with her. We always get lots of pictures and updates, and she really loves going on little adventures. I think she enjoys her vacations with Camille as much as we enjoy ours away from home!
Eric and Sally are amazing! They went above and beyond to send us pictures, give updates, and keep us posted on how my dogs were doing. More than anything, I appreciate how kind and understanding they were with our dogs, which isn’t always easy. We could tell how kind and sweet were with our dogs, which was reassuring as this was the first time we left them with anyone besides family. Sally and Eric made us feel so assured and confident that our dogs were being well taken care of and loved. We appreciate them so much and hope to book with them again in the future!
Great communication and sent nice set of photos each day! Our dog loved staying with Ivan and he got to socialize with a few other similar sized small dogs during his stay which was great! Only minor comment is the photos he sent seemed to come through as somewhat low resolution (although this may have just been the Rover app) but overall no complaints!
Our dog Izzy stayed with Brandon for 12 nights, which was the longest we've ever been away from her. Brandon sent us daily photos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. He gave Izzy lots of attention and made her feel at home, which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We'd definitely book with Brandon again.
Francesca took good care of our basset, Biscotti. Though there were several other dogs she was caring for at the same time, Biscotti preferred to follow Francesca around (probably because of the treats!) Francesca took her to the park and on walks and was a responsive communicator. We really appreciated her caring for our pup.
Our dog had the BEST time with Saul this weekend. (I’m surprised she even wanted to come home!) He took her on so many adventures and took such great care of her - and sent loads of pics / updates so we could see all the fun they were having! There was no doubt in my mind that she was in excellent hands, and I know she can’t wait to go back to visit sometime soon!
Kyle & Stephanie really know and understand dogs - our dog can be complicated, reactive, and slow to trust new people, but they handled him with incredible patience and confidence. It was clear they took the time to understand his personality, and because of that he was relaxed and comfortable very quickly. They also spent a lot of time and energy giving our dog great breed-specific engagement, which he absolutely loved and we could see how happy he was during his stay. Communication was also top-notch.
I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillsborough on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hillsborough. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Hillsborough sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Hillsborough landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hillsborough home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hillsborough.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hillsborough sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
