“Michael and his family are awesome Our furry baby loves going there, and we always ask Michael when we have to go out of town without Jeepsy, simply because with Michael we have such a peace of mind. Thanks again Michael !!”
“Tracy and her husband took great care of my pup Sesame while we were away! They gave us many updates throughout the day and made sure to follow my dog’s daily exercise and feeding schedule. Sesame looked like he was happy and enjoying his time! I would definitely recommend Tracy!”
“First time using her, and she was awesome! She was super understanding even with my last minute booking and kept me updated every day with photos of my dog. It gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have a well-trained, friendly companion dog and a large backyard for plenty of outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I enjoy long walks and trips to the dog park, and I’m happy to provide patient, attentive care, including basic training reinforcement and extra playtime. Reliable, caring, and committed to keeping your pup safe and happy. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be able to focus on your pup during their visit! I will be available daily from 9am - 6pm and can offer after hours or overnight if needed. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own for company. My daughter is also an animal lover and loves to give belly rubs!
“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.”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Jennifer was the best, she was flexible and kind and sent lots of photos. Our dog clearly had the best time while we were away. Would highly recommend her to walk or board your dog!! Her pups are so sweet as well.”
“Jessica has done an excellent job taking care of Sunny. She sent us pictures often and even took Sunny for a bath! Sunny has had a great time with Jessica!”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”
“Joy did a great job of caring for Kaylee. She is the only dog sitter we've ever had who read our suggested games to play (hide the toy etc) and used them! Kaylee was excited to see us when we returned but also immediately went back to say goodbye to Joy...a great sign that she had a good time.”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. We plan to take one dog every 2-3 months and to shower them with love and attention. If you're interested in our family, chances are best if you coordinate with us well in advance :) I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. On the weekends, after school, on holidays, and during summer break, my daughters will shower your pup with love and attention. Safety comes first, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
“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. 🐾”
“Lamija took really good care of our dog for an entire week, providing one-on-one care and attention. She is very sweet and responsive, and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely leave our dog with Lamija again!”
“Great experience leaving my dog Clyde with Mel and his family. Very responsive to messages and great with the updates and videos. Wouldn’t hesitate to send Clyde over again… Not sure he will want to come home though 😁”
“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!”
About: Hi! Thank you for considering me and trusting me with your pup. As a fellow pawrent, I know how stressful it can be to find someone reliable, especially when something comes up at the last minute. My goal is to have a trusted place for fellow doodle families that your pup is excited to go back to and to give you complete peace of mind when it comes to leaving them. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can see how your pup is settling in and doing throughout their stay. My husband (Peter) and I both work from home, so your fur baby will have company throughout the day. We are available for boarding during weekdays and weekends. To make sure every pup gets the attention they deserve, we will only host 1–2 dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy walks around our quiet neighborhood and also have the company of our friendly doodle, who is respectful with other dogs and happy to play or simply lounge depending on their energy.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Los Altos Hills is $75
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
Angela and Kangwoong were amazing hosts for my dog Arisha. Arisha is a very shy dog but she felt at home staying at their place. I don't know if it's common but she was the only dog during her stay which made the stay extra special. Angela sent me 2 pictures a day as updates about the stay. I am ashamed to say it but I feel like Arisha was treated better than I am able to do at home... I would be extremely comfortable with and would love having Angela host Arisha again in the future.
I can't recommend Jeff and his girls highly enough! This was our 8-year-old German Shepherd's very first boarding experience, so we were understandably a little nervous. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Even at our meet and greet, I was so impressed. Jeff had clearly read through Lolly's profile ahead of time and came prepared with a list of thoughtful questions about her routine, personality, and preferences. It was obvious he genuinely wanted to get to know her and make sure she had the best possible stay, and that immediately put us at ease. Every day was a new adventure for Lolly! They took her on fun outings, kept her active, and treated her like part of the family. One of my favorite parts was receiving so many photos and updates throughout her stay—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and having such a great time. Jeff's communication was great, too. He responded incredibly quickly whenever I reached out, and anytime he had a question, he always checked with me instead of making assumptions. I especially appreciated the little things, like asking before letting her play in the doggy pool. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much. When we picked Lolly up, she was so happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from all of her adventures. It was clear she had been genuinely cared for and loved during her stay. As first-time boarding parents, we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'll absolutely be booking with Jeff again for future trips and sincerely hope he's available whenever we need him. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own, I wholeheartedly recommend him!
This is the third time Kelly and Ben have taken care of Nia during our annual visits to Palo Alto. Nia is right at home with both of them and can’t wait to get to their apartment when we drop her off. She loves her walks on campus and Kelly sends fun pics. We know Nia will be happy there and Kelly and Ben will take good care of her.
Emma is great! She has watched Kovu several times now. Emma sends updates and photos so you know your pup is in good hands. Her dog is very friendly and Kovu enjoys staying there. Emma also doesn’t watch multiple dogs at once so your dog doesn’t feel overwhelmed. I love that she has a yard too that they can play in. Emma is flexible and reliable!
Matt was great with dog Hazel and her special needs. He helped keep up with her training, administered medicine and took time to play tug with her. His home has an expansive back yard (by Palo Alto standards) for Hazel to explore and stretch her legs. I would love to board Hazel with Matt in the future.
I can't say enough about the excellent care that Kathryn and Denis gave to our dog Rolo while we were away. We are so grateful to them for all the updates they provided and the photos showing us that Rolo was happy and enjoying his holiday as well. Knowing our dog was in safe hands made our trip much more enjoyable. Thank you again. We will definitely be reaching out to you again.

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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills.
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 Hills 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.
