“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
About: Hi! I'm an animal lover who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, even when their family is away. My goal is to make your pup feel right at home! I've been caring for animals for years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I have a two-year-old dog of my own, whom I've raised since he was about six weeks old, so I understand the patience and consistency that go into raising and training a puppy. I've also cared for senior dogs with specialized needs, including administering medications on a schedule, preparing meals according to detailed instructions, hiding medication in food, and applying medicated ointments. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine carefully and make sure they receive the attention and care they need. I also had a cat for nine years and cared for her through her senior years, including administering medications and providing extra care as her needs changed. One of the biggest perks of booking with me is that I work from home! Your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I love taking dogs on walks, spending time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and included. In the evenings, you can often find us relaxing on the couch watching TV, and your pup is more than welcome to join in for some snuggles! I know how much you'll miss your furry family member while you're away, so I love sending photo and message updates to let you know how they're doing. Whether your dog loves walks, needs a little extra TLC, or is simply a cuddle bug who enjoys relaxing at home, I'll do my best to make their stay comfortable and enjoyable. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to make pet care part of my everyday routine. Your pup will have company throughout the day, with regular opportunities for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I'm happy to take multiple walks throughout the day and adjust our routine to your dog's usual schedule. I also make sure there's plenty of downtime for dogs who enjoy relaxing at home. I'm comfortable following your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pup's stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible! My home is a cozy apartment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I don't have a yard, but I'm happy to provide multiple walks throughout the day for exercise and outdoor time. I have a friendly dog of my own named Ben, so I take introductions at each dog's pace and pay close attention to their comfort and body language. I carefully supervise interactions and give dogs their own space whenever needed. If dogs aren't comfortable together or can't safely be around one another, I can keep them separated. I want every dog to feel safe and comfortable in my home, and I understand that not every dog warms up right away. I never want a dog to feel pressured to interact. I follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and any special care needs. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you're away. Above all, I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care, just as I'd want someone to treat my own dog. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is in loving, attentive hands!
“Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter again!”
“We had Katsu stay with Yvonne for two nights as a trial run for a longer stay in May. I sent her care instructions the day before and she made sure to ask clarifying questions. We don’t take Katsu to dog parks and she was very respectful of that. During his stay with her, she sent several pictures everyday. My husband and I would get so excited when new pictures came in. It was clear he had a great time! We feel comfortable having Yvonne care for him again next month .”
“Mario was awesome. I hope my girl gets to play at his house more in the future. she had a great time and I got lots of photos from Mario to prove it! thank you!”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Shao Er took excellent care of our dog while we were away for almost two weeks. I can always tell our pup had a good time when she says goodbye to the person who watched her instead of just heading out. We will be back next time we need someone to care for our dog when we are away!”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“Chenyang did an amazing job watching over our Shitzhu Walle. Very responsive and made sure to send photos during his stay to give us peace of mind. Would definitely rebook!”
“We loved meeting Kathleen and her family before our dog Penny actually stayed at their home. For us, their location was convenient and what was even better is the family had a kind and warm spirit. Penny came back well rested and in good spirits. Kathleen and her family made sure that Penny was well taken care of. Penny is an equal part of our family, so finding good care for her is very important to us. We’re very pleased with Kathleen and appreciated all the photo updates on Penny’s stay.”
“Micaela is the best. She just had my little sweetheart for 6 days and was amazing. She updated me and sent pictures that made me feel so comfortable while I was traveling. I will definitely be calling her again and again! Thank you so much for going above and beyond and helping me out Micaela!”
“Tara and Kevin took such great care of our dog, Butter. They are both so friendly and clearly love animals. I felt reassured knowing they were taking good care of him. Tara and Kevin were life savers for us when our flight got cancelled and we needed to extend Butter's stay. Their communication and updates on Butter were incredibly helpful and appreciated. We hope to have Butter stay with Tara in the future and highly recommend her care!”
“Stephanie was great! She sent many updates and photos and videos during Bear’s stay. It was clear that Bear had a fun time with her and her friends. We would definitely stay with Stephanie again!”
“Howard and Linda took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. Howard was very thorough and paid attention to all the small details with care. We were happy to receive pictures and updates from their park outings and couch time. Their dog Truman is a sweetheart too. If you are looking for two very friendly and responsible people to look after your pup, they are it!”
“Tony and Alicia were amazing, and Cannoli had such a great time with them and their two dogs. They took her on plenty of adventures and walks, and I got plenty of pictures and regular updates while I was gone. I'd definitely book them again if we're in need of dogsitting/daycare again :)”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Millbrae is $75
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Millbrae
Alice was wonderful with our 14year old dog, Winnie. We usually have a sense of how Winnie was treated by the way she behaves when she comes home from her boarding experiences. Winnie came back calm and did not act differently from before she went to Alice's home. On previous stays with some other hosts, Winnie had appeared terrified when we picked her up. Alice sent us daily updates, along with pictures and videos throughout Winnie's stay. It was wonderful. We will definitely have Winnie be taken care of by Alice in the future.
Catherine and her husband were amazing with Bentley! I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave him over the weekend. Catherine kept me updated with photos, which I always appreciate! It means so much knowing Bentley is happy and being so well taken care of while I’m away. I’m so thankful to have found such wonderful people to care for Bentley and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much! 🫶🏼
Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter again!
We had a great experience with Yijiu! She was super responsive, kind, and very attentive to Leo. It was clear that she took great care of him, and Leo had such a fun time playing with her family. She was also very detail-oriented and kept us updated throughout his stay. We would definitely book with her again!
Winnie and boba were so welcoming to Mercy and took great care of her even though she can be very shy and aloof at first. They made her feel comfortable and she clearly had a great time. Thank you Frankie also for loving on her and playing with her! Winnie had great communication and sent me photos and videos daily and took Mercy on a lot of hikes and walks. I can’t recommend them enough ☺️!
Christine took great care of our german shepherd for a week while we were away on vacation. She is one of the best boarders we’ve worked with on Rover and we highly recommend her! Christine sent us photos and a short description of what they did every day - whether it was a walk, playing ball in the backyard, or others. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dog was active and well cared for. Our german shepherd is pretty energetic and it seemed that she had a blast with Christine's family and her dog, Obi. Thank you again, Christine!
Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting are wonderful dog sitters! They treated my dog, Pickles, like their own. They sent me several pictures and videos every day. Pickles looked so happy and loved playing with their dogs. They set up a meet and greet at a nearby park to make sure their dogs got along with mine before the boarding. They really prioritize safety and are well organized with a spreadsheet for all the dog’s needs. Thank you both for taking such good care of Pickles!
This is Kyra's third time staying with Camille and we couldn't be happier. We received lots of updates throughout her stay, and it was clear that she felt right at home under Camille's care. We felt completely at ease during our trip knowing that not only was Kyra content, but she was also getting a lot of love and attention. They went on lots of adventures together, and we got great pictures to reassure us that she was settling in well and enjoying herself. We feel so lucky to have found Camille and will definitely book again!
Eric and Sally are amazing! They went above and beyond to send us pictures, give updates, and keep us posted on how my dogs were doing. More than anything, I appreciate how kind and understanding they were with our dogs, which isn’t always easy. We could tell how kind and sweet were with our dogs, which was reassuring as this was the first time we left them with anyone besides family. Sally and Eric made us feel so assured and confident that our dogs were being well taken care of and loved. We appreciate them so much and hope to book with them again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Millbrae is $82 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 5,964 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Millbrae. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Millbrae can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Millbrae 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 Millbrae.
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 Millbrae 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.
