“Rachel is indeed one of the best host ever for my cat! She gave me daily updates, and I could realize that my cat was really enjoying her time with Rachel and relaxing with her. She knows how cat prefers to be treated, so I didn’t need to worry anything for my cat at all during my trip. I will definitely ask Rachel support if she is available during next trip!”
“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog and she seemed super happy when I picked her up. I also appreciated all the pictures I got of her, I was able to enjoy my vacation and not be worried about her.”
“My dog's stay with Al was fantastic! Al was super responsive and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and explained his routine thoroughly. My dog came home happily tired from playing with other dogs during his stay. I will definitely be boarding with Al again. Thanks Al!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me joy. In addition to raising my own pets, I’ve also helped many friends care for their dogs while they were away, so looking after other people’s pets isn’t new to me. I currently have two rescue dogs and one cat, and they’re truly part of my family. Because of them, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My dogs are medium to large breeds (about 50 lbs and 100 lbs), so I’m very comfortable handling bigger, energetic dogs during walks and playtime. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, including Bichons, Labrador Retrievers, Samoyeds, Huskies, and other breeds. One thing that sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing together, I treat every dog and cat like they’re part of my own little family. Seeing them happy is one of the best parts of my day. I also love taking photos and videos of all their adorable moments and sharing regular updates, so you’ll always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and having a great time. In my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter because spending time with animals is something I’m truly passionate about. Since I’m currently home full-time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care throughout the day. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and at home while you’re away, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for just like one of my own. I'm currently not employed so my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since i'm home throughout the day, your dog will have lots of companionship, playtime, potty breaks and exericse. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, your pet will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day since I’m home most of the time. I live in an apartment with a private patio where we can enjoy some outdoor time and play games like fetch. We also have a convenient dog potty area just a short walk away, making bathroom breaks easy and frequent. For dogs that enjoy exercise and socializing, I’m also close to a community dog park and can take them there with your permission. If your dog prefers quieter walks or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I’m equally happy to provide individual walks and one-on-one playtime instead. My two friendly rescue dogs love meeting new friends and make wonderful playmates for social dogs. However, I always prioritize every dog’s comfort and personality, and I’ll introduce dogs carefully and only if everyone is comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely to help your pet feel relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy seeing how your furry family member is doing while you’re away.
“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.”
“Our dog was happy and content with Courtney - she's very attentive and a loving dog-sitter. I'd definitely recommend her! And she's quite good at getting good pics of our dog - he's not easy to capture well on camera :)”
“Tillana was great with our dog and was able to accommodate a last minute boarding. We loved seeing all the photos from Maui's stay and it showed how much fun he had with Tillana and all of the other pups. He got a lot of exercise and made a lot of friends!!”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Ruo host my dog for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Throughout the stay, Ruo kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that Ruo genuinely connected with my dog—so much so that when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to come home! My dog's comfort and happiness were Ruo's top priorities, and it truly showed. I highly recommend Ruo to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“Andrew was fantastic! He took great care of Teddy and made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. He was communicative and provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Andrew and would gladly book with him again.”
“This was Charlie’s first time with Ava and he had a blast! She sent many photos and kept in touch. She took him for walks everyday, and he loved the backyard to play/lounge. Would definitely recommend!”
“Irina took fantastic care of my dog, Daisy! She took her on long walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was very attuned to her individual needs. On top of that, Irina was very responsive to me, and sent lots of great pictures of their adventures together. It was so nice to know that Daisy was in good hands, and I didn't need to stress about her while I was away!”
“Mora is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She treated our dogs like family. Took them to parks and on hikes. They came back home very happy and well taken care of. Mora also sent many pictures and also gave our dogs lots of affection. Bonus is she has a fenced in backyard. We will definitely be calling Mora again!”
“Marivel has been an amazing pet sitter for Luna while we were away for a week. I got periodic daily updates and she was also knowledgeable in handling tough situations e.g. when Luna refused to eat her food etc.”
“Andy and his family took great care of Maggie. When we had an unexpected travel hiccup, they were extremely flexible. Maggie returned happy and relaxed from a great stay. Would happily ask them to watch our dog again!”

Alissa W take great care of my Annie! She made sure Annie felt at home and got enough cuddles walks and a comfy bed! Will definitely book again. Appreciate nice pictures and mini status uodates. We were far from home and it was good to know Annie was well cared for. Thank you!
Ying took such amazing care of our dog, Bailey! She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos! He seemed to really enjoy her pup and met a few more friends at her place too! She followed all of our instructions, and truly got to know him and listen to his cues. Thank you!!!!
Christopher was super accommodating with my two senior pups! Gave one of them medication and gave the other one a little extra walking so she would get her energy out. I love the glamour shots he sends me, they're always super happy and relaxed! One of the best sitters on this platform.
Shannon took great care of our lab Peanut and kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and messages. He got plenty of walks and activities, and it was clear that he was well looked after. We really appreciated the communication and would happily book with Shannon again.
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.
Yun and Lina were absolutely wonderful! I could tell immediately that my Franny felt so comfortable with them. They took her along to so many of their activities and I received the cutest updates and photos throughout her stay. Franny came home happy. Easily my best experience on Rover, I hope to have them watch Franny again!
Our energetic English cocker spaniel just spent nearly a month with Tillana, as our family enjoyed some summer travels. This was our longest stint away from Ruby, and we were all missing her so much, but felt reassured that she was in GREAT hands with Tillana. She would send regular "pupdates" with photos and videos and reports of Ruby's adventures--puppy playdates, hikes in Portola Valley, outings to the beach in HMB, and even visits to some of the local shops in Tillana's lovely neighborhood. Ruby honestly had a vacation adventure of her own, which made us feel so much better about leaving her for so long. We will definitely board Ruby with Tillana again during future travels.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Menlo Park on Rover is $83.25 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 6,719 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Menlo Park. 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 Menlo Park 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 Menlo Park 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 Menlo Park 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 Menlo Park.
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 Menlo Park 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.
