“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
About: I currently am a dog mom to a 12-year-old toy poodle, Pingu. He's very energetic and I would love to have him make more furry friends. Dogs must all be updated with their rabies and flea medications. I will not accept more than 3 dogs each time (with an exception for dogs from the same household) to make sure each dog will be getting the care and attention they deserve. I take the dogs out at least 3 times a day. Morning, Late Afternoon, Before bed. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking forward to meet your pups :) I work from home and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur baby. Your fur baby will be able to roam around and play as they please in the yard. I live in a single family house with a side yard where my dog often plays. My neighborhood is a dog loving community so your fur baby will have the opportunity to meet other dogs as well. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house.
“I boarded my fur baby, Bruce, with Fang for several days. She is caring, reliable, and trustworthy. She was sending updates regularly and I felt reassured that he was safe and happy under her care. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Cesar is one of our dog’s favorite people :) He is caring, super communicative, and takes wonderful photos of our pups. You can tell he loves animals and we are so grateful to have found him to trust Lila with!”
“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”
“Margarita took very good care of Buddy and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated! It was nice to see how he was doing and know he was being well cared for. We would gladly trust her with Buddy again in the future.”
“James and Jasmine are hands-down the best dog sitters we’ve ever used. They are incredibly professional and took the time to understand Toby’s specific routine and needs. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs and treated our Toby as their own. They were super reliable and kept us up to date with Toby's activities and sent us daily pix -- they truly went above and beyond to make sure Toby was comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking them again! Thanks again guys!”
“Guillermo was fantastic. Took my pup on a few walks a day which Remie enjoys. Also let Remie sleep closely which she loves to do! I’d use them again at a moments notice. They were great!!!!”
“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.”
“Kobe had a wonderful time with Manli! I appreciated all the photos and updates and could see he was playing his heart out with the other dogs as well as getting his cuddles in. He returned happy and tired out!”
“Katherine was incredibly attentive to our senior dog and made him feel at home! We are grateful for her many updates and great communication, and we know our dog would love to stay with her 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 😁”
“Jesse and Kimmy were excellent with my lab Nala! I had a last minute work trip come up and needed to find a trustworthy dog sitter on short notice. Jesse and Kimmy took the time to get to know me and my dog (Nala) ahead of the stay to ensure she was comfortable. They also sent tons of cute photos while I was alway. Would book again and recommend them.”
“Joyce took amazing care of our pupper: taking him for plenty of walks and to the parks, giving him (and us ideas for) great king treats, and sending a bunch of update photos and videos. 11/10. Couldn’t recommend more.”
“Nina and Leo took great care of our greyhound/Great Pyrenees mix. They were great about updating us everyday on how he was doing (walks, bm’s, etc). They were very thorough in understanding his schedule and needs.”
“You couldn't ask for a better sitter than Sophia. She and her family took care of our guy Julius like family, with plenty of backyard time with their almost identical small-mid chihuahua mix Benny, where these guys bonded and had play time in a spacious backyard. She was amazing with photos, questions around any health or activity concerns, and prompt follow-up. As an add, she even had a new toy for him. That's going the extra mile. Definite recommend.”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
“Our dog Hailee had a great stay with Tracy. She seemed happy and well taken care of, and Tracy sent many photos during the stay to keep us updated. I would absolutely book Tracy again!”

Farah and Tommy did a fantastic job taking care of our Chiweenie, Miso, on short notice this weekend. We were incredibly busy, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, sending regular updates and checking in about her quirks to ensure everything was normal. Miso clearly received plenty of quality attention and affection. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services. Thank you both!
Ying was absolutely amazing! She was able to help me last minute when another sitter fell through. She was very communicative with morning, midday, and evening updates which I loved. And lots of videos and pics! I know Roscoe loved being in her home as he had friends to play with and cozy spots to curl up in the sun. Thank you again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Menlo Park on Rover is $83.14 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,791 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.
