“Tracy was an excellent dog sitter and took great care of our rambunctious Samoyed! She followed our meticulous instructions and sent frequent updates. We trust our dog is in good hands with Tracy.”
“I am so thankful to have found Lucy and her family to take care of Snowball! Lucy and her girls met with us beforehand to make sure Snowball would feel comfortable staying with them. They showered him with lots of affection! From the pictures she sent, I could see that Snowball gets a lot of hugs, head massages and cuddles from the family! Lucy sent a lot of updates and photos of Snowball everyday and he is very happy in all of them! I would trust them to watch Snowball anytime! Thanks Lucy and family!!”
“Dawn is a lovely sitter and would recommend. Our dog Louie had a great time and made new friends with her dogs, especially Manny. It was great to get daily video and photo updates of the adventures and things Louie did each day.”
“Thor had a wonderful time with Noshin! She sent many pictures of him at the park and cuddled up on the couch. When I picked him up, he was clearly quite comfortable at her place. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Great sitter, very communicative and reliable! We got many cute photos of our dog. Taylor was also flexible, I initially made a wrong booking and we were able to fix it - I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”
“Yuki seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up. Manli was very responsive to messaging and answered all my questions. I was very grateful for her care while we were gone! Would not hesitate to have Manli watch Yuki again.”
“Our puppy had a great time with Courtney. It was his first night away from home and we could tell he loved it. Courtney took good care of him and took him for walks. I am sure he is looking forward to his next stay there :)”
“Our dog was super happy with Natasha! We appreciate her thoroughness, love of animals, prompt responses to messages, and the photos she took. We will definitely have Natasha watch our dog again.”
“Che and Aurora have been very welcoming for Kenzo. They took great care and followed his routine to the point and gave frequent updates with photos and videos. Kenzo totally enjoyed his stay there.”
“Li-Ting did an amazing job taking care of our boy while we were out of town! She sent numerous daily videos and photos with detailed updates of his walks and play dates with FaCai. She also took the time to brush him daily so his fur remained silky smooth. I won’t hesitate to book Li-Ting again as she provides a safe home away from home for our boy.”
“Michael is wonderful to work with - he's reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. He took great care of my sweet Aussie, Alastor, while I was on vacation for a week. The whole process was smooth and I could tell that Alastor was relaxed during his stay from the cute pictures of him having a nice time! Thanks again!”
“Yixin was so gracious to take our baby on late notice after a previous rover cancelled. She was super responsive, provided updates, as well as pictures. Will use in the future!!”
“Our pup Olive loves staying at Marivel’s! We know when Olive stays there, she will have plenty of playtime with other dogs, walks, daily medication and food, and we always receive multiple photos and videos every day. This past visit, Olive seemed cleaner than when we dropped her off- despite it raining over the weekend. Highly recommend Marivel to any dog owners in the area.”
“Shavonne was a great sitter. Responsive and flexible. My dog came home so happy and chill like she'd just spent time hanging out with her best friend and was ready for a nap!”
“Rachel took care of my dog while my family traveled to Korea. She regularly updated how my dog was doing with pictures. My dog seems so happy with her! Highly recommend Rachel!”
“We have a nervous puppy but with Olga, he was the life of the party. She made sure to send many pictures throughout the day and I absolutely loved it. She is awesome and Toby loved being there.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
Tracy and her husband were absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Cody, for a week while we were traveling. From our very first meeting, I could tell Cody would be comfortable, happy, and in great hands with them. Tracy was incredibly responsive, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire process. Everything leading up to the drop-off was seamless, and while we were away, we received daily updates that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Cody was happy and well cared for. When we returned, Tracy and her husband were also very flexible in coordinating our pickup, which we really appreciated after a long trip. It is clear that they genuinely love dogs and treat them like part of their family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust them with Cody again. We highly recommend Tracy and her husband to anyone looking for wonderful, dependable, and caring people to look after their dog!
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.
Mora was absolutely wonderful with Baxter. She sent lots of photos and texts with how they spent their day. She took him for walks, played tug of war and snuggled on the couch. She was very good at picking up his cues to understand what he needed. She has a clean, lovely home with a backyard in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely use Mora as a sitter again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Los Altos Hills on Rover is $50 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 5,173 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Los Altos Hills. 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 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.
