“Michael was very easy going and it’s apparent that he loves caring for the dogs. ZuZu has a great stay at his place. He took walks every day with ZuZu and played with her. I’m confident that we will use his care again in the future.”
“Kenny is the absolute BEST. He took amazing care of our Pyrenees puppy - and sent us many pictures and videos throughout the day - so we felt totally reassured and confident in all the fun she was having and the care and affection she was getting. It was 10-star experience for Lumi and for us from beginning to end. Lumi has epilepsy - and so has a strict medication protocol that must be followed to prevent seizures; Kenny made doubly sure to confirm the exact protocol with us and then follow it to the letter - sending us pictures after completion so we wouldn’t worry. We couldn’t possibly have asked for more care and thoughtfulness. Lumi got multiple long walks and trips to the park, and play time with a sweet co-boarder pup - and generally had the best time! We will for sure be sending her to Kenny again!”
“Meerim was an incredible dog sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, and communicated how things were going so I didn't worry at all. So grateful that we found her! Will 100% book again xx”
“Sarah took to Jennifer immediately. Jennifer would send daily updates for Sarah with photos and it is a great comfort to see Sarah all settled in. Jennifer has taken such good care of Sarah that I am confident that I will book her for dog sitting service again. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.”
“Mora was fantastic. We have a 1 year old cavapoo who can get nervous & separation anxiety - but Mora was wonderful. We got lots of photos and could tell he was comfortable & getting a lot of time & affection. It was only 1 night but would definitely recommend Mora & we will be using her again! Thanks Mora!”

I’m available for morning walks on weekdays 9am I live in a area where pups like to run, my home is a safe place as well where they are taken care of as if they are mine
“Joy was both skillful and easygoing when we left our dog Lila with her and her family. I got photos of Lila snuggling on the sofa, and Joy had a great outdoor space for her dogs and mine to play.”
“Yunxi was friendly and communicative. She sent photos and asked questions to make my very Senior dog Odessa comfortable. Her back yard was perfect and safe for Odessa to roam around.”
“Milo had another wonderful stay with Daniel and Emily! Daniel went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute changes and was incredibly quick to respond throughout. We truly appreciate their care and flexibility!”

“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“My husband and I traveled all the way from Texas to watch the World Cup match, and we were looking for someone trustworthy to take care of our Keeper. Finding Yasemin was truly the best decision we could have made. While we were enjoying the game, Keeper had an amazing day filled with love, cuddles, and attention. She treated him like he was her own fluffy little pup. We received plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll leave Keeper with Yasemin again without a second thought. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to see you again soon. 🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and other animals since I was a child. I was brought up loving animals and everyone in the family has pets. I brought home my first dog from my aunt’s house when I was 9, and he became my best friend and lived to 12 years old. I’m a proud auntie to my sister’s Shiba Inu and have helped raise her since she was a puppy. I hope to meet your best friend soon. I’m home all days of the week so your pet will never be without care and attention except when I step out for a brief errand. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe neighborhood with walkable streets. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and walks throughout the day.
“We love having our dog stay with Jesse and Kimmy. She truly can't wait to jump out of the car when we arrive and we know she is so well taken care of when she's there. We'll definitely be booking with them again.”
“We can't say enough good things about Jasmine! She truly went above and beyond for Buddy. We loved receiving her daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from all the pictures that Buddy had a great time and was happy as could be while enjoying all his favorite activities. Thank you Jasmine for all your care!”
“Iryna was great! She was very responsive, she was flexible with the meet and greet, pickup, and dropoff timing, and parking was easy. Tahini is shy but warmed up to her quite quickly and loved exploring her apartment, where he had plenty of space to run around. We didn’t have much experience introducing him to other dogs, and she helped him make friends in controlled settings, including at the dog park for small dogs across the street. We loved the daily photos, and the daily videos always showed him happy and wagging his tail. He came home happy and healthy.”

Mel and his family took excellent care of our pup. From daily walks and lots of time playing outside to introducing him to other kids, it was clear he was getting plenty of attention and socialization. Mel was also incredibly communicative, sending prompt updates along with great pictures and videos throughout the stay. It made us feel completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. We’d absolutely recommend Mel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Mei took such wonderful care of our 7 month old puppy. From the first moment that she met him, she was warm-hearted and friendly and so thoughtful regarding the needs of our puppy. She sent lots of photos to us all though our time away, and played with our puppy a great deal and made him feel at home. Mei was very responsive to all of our questions. She took excellent care of our puppy and was very genuine in her enjoyment of him. I whole-heartedly recommend Mei.
We are extremely happy that we found Irina. Our dog Max quickly grew very attached to her and clearly feels safe and comfortable in her care. She has stayed with hi on several occasions, including living in our home for a few 2-weeks periods while we were away on vacation. Throughout this time, Max was calm, happy, and very well looked after. Irina took excellent care of him and treated him with genuine warmth and attention. She also kept us regularly updated with photos and videos, which gave us peach of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Irina as a trustworthy, caring and highly responsible dog sitter. She is very polite, easy to communicate with, and truly devoted to the animals she looks after.
Ahmyah took care of my 8- year Golden Retriever (Basin) while I was attending meetings at Stanford for a few days. Its clear she really loves dogs. She sent me cute videos of Basin on campus having a great time! I would love for Basin to stay with Ahmyah again when we are back at Stanford.
Svetlana was a great caretaker for ZuZu. They have a nice grass yard that’s enclosed. She walks ZuZu regularly and played with her. Her daily updates are personal and detailed. I always look forward to read her updates. She is obvious experienced at taking care of dogs and she has a warm heart. I will not hesitate to send zuzu back next time around. She is simply great!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Los Altos
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Los Altos on Rover is $66.56 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,963 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Los Altos. 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 Los Altos 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 Los Altos 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 Los Altos 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 Los Altos.
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 Los Altos 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.
