“Stephen was patient and worked with my 5-month old puppy while I was gone for the weekend to socialize at the dog park and meet other dogs, get comfortable playing in his host home, and learning a new routine. Would recommend!”
“Stephen and family is amazing every time my pups have been there. I get videos and pictures with updates on how all my dogs are. The whole family treats my three pups just as their own family. I even had a toy come back home because one my dogs loved the penguin so much. Also I’m super happy how interactive they are with my dogs playing, loving and cuddling. I Highly recommend Stephen. Thank you !!”
“Wei took very good care of our pup! We had to board him for a week and she shared updates, photos and videos while we were away. She administered medication for his apparent allergies and we got him back in very good shape. She has a nice and big backyard and I could tell how happy our dog was digging around it :) Would definitely board with her again!”
“Alvin and his family were wonderful with Oatley. He was very considerate with her, even sharing his own pup’s food and products. Sterling, his pup, was adorable. Our pups seemed to come out of it as friends. Alvin was very responsive, messaging right away. Shared many cute pictures and updates throughout my Oatley’s stay. My pup definitely was in great hands, which took away both mine and Oatley’s anxieties. Would love for her to stay with them again!”
“Our dog, Jazzy, was happy and healthy when we picked her up after a 10-day stay with Chris. His dog and cat tolerated Jazz in their home, even though !azz was fascinated by the cat and would not leave her alone. The two boys and Chris's wife were all welcoming. Jazz really enjoyed the big toy box they offered!”
“It was our first time using Rover and the initial inquiry, booking and stay all went off without a hitch. Mario responded quickly to confirm his availability and even asked if Lola would prefer to do beach or park walks! He even took the time to send pictures two times during a one night stay. He was also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which we really appreciated. We would not hesitate to use Mario again!”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with Brandon and I’m so glad I did. He came very highly recommended and I felt completely confident and comfortable knowing Brandon is so good at what he does and I definitely appreciate the frequent pics/updates. Thank you Brandon for taking care of my baby! ??”
“Boba’s first time staying with Kazu and Yuko was awesome! Communication was great and consistent. They provided daily pics/videos and I can tell they gave him a lot of attention during his stay. He came home tired and happy :) Will gladly bring him back for another stay. Thank you!”
“Remo was an excellent dog sitter! We was very kind and accommodating with pick up and drop off times. It was also great to see all the pictures of the adventures he took Kora and other pups on. I will definitely be looking to book with Remo again!”
“Kitty was amazing with our 3 month old puppy. Our puppy loved her so much and felt comfortable, we could tell when we picked our puppy up that she was so happy! I will definitely use kitty again, she also has great knowledge about dogs and puppies!”
“Shirley was great to work with and easily made our dog welcome at her home. She sent regular photos and always responded quickly. We would highly recommend her and use her regularly again. No need to look any further!”
“I had such a pleasant experience with Allison & Gordon! Not only did I feel comfortable from the moment I meant them, Darla was as equally at ease. They have a great system in place for making sure your dog feels at home. Perfect size yard for your furry friends and all kinds of sunny spots my dog loved to seek out. I would highly recommend them to anyone. ”
“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!”
“Meghana was great! Shared updates with us everyday and sent pictures without us needing to ask. Our anxious/reactive dog seemed pretty comfortable with her. Very responsive. Would definitely have our dog stay with her again :)”
“Tony and Alicia took excellent care of my dog, provided daily activity updates and photos, and accommodated last minute schedule changes. Thank you for welcoming my pup into your home and making her feel safe and comfortable!”
“Joseph was very good about sending updates and photos of my dog dixie during her stay. He kept her busy, and if she could.. I believe she would have told me she had a great time based on how exhausted she was when she got home. I would not hesitate to use Joseph again.”
“Tina was absolutely wonderful with Marcos! From the very first message she was punctual and easy to coordinate with, always confirming drop-off and pick-up times without any hassle. She clearly paid close attention to his sleeping habits and made sure he had a cozy, comfortable spot to settle in for the night. She also followed our written instructions carefully, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, you can just tell Tina knows a lot about dogs — she was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared for Marcos like her own. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay, including a fun outing to Dolores Park, and Marcos looked completely at ease and happy in every picture. Communication was warm and consistent from start to finish. We felt so comfortable leaving Marcos with her and would absolutely book again. Thank you, Tina, for taking such great care of our baby!”

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!
Lida was so great with our 7 year old Havanese, Winston! We only had him over for one night and day, but she took him out on fun adventures like going to the beach. She sent a lot of photos that made us feel assured Winston was in good hands. I highly recommend Lida!
Our dog Izzy stayed with Brandon for 12 nights, which was the longest we've ever been away from her. Brandon sent us daily photos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. He gave Izzy lots of attention and made her feel at home, which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We'd definitely book with Brandon again.
Yvonne was great, helped us out with a last minute stay for our dog and accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Great communication throughout and we really appreciated the updates and our dog seemed to be right at home with Yvonne and her husband. Will definitely enlist her help looking after our dog again.
Francesca took good care of our basset, Biscotti. Though there were several other dogs she was caring for at the same time, Biscotti preferred to follow Francesca around (probably because of the treats!) Francesca took her to the park and on walks and was a responsive communicator. We really appreciated her caring for our pup.
Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting took excellent care of our two dogs over the holiday weekend. From start to finish, communication was outstanding. Before the stay, we met at a local park so they could get to know us and our dogs—a 10 lb Pomeranian and a 17 lb mixed breed. They have a very organized spreadsheet that covers everything about each dog, including medications, feeding instructions, potty schedule, routines, and other important details. Once we filled it out, it made communication incredibly easy, especially using Google Docs. Throughout the stay, they sent us daily photo and video updates, and they responded to every text message and phone call almost immediately. Our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Their home is in a nice, safe neighborhood, and we appreciated the extra security of the gated front entrance and enclosed side yard. Most importantly, Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting are genuine dog lovers and incredibly kind people. We feel very lucky to have found them and will absolutely book with them again. Highly recommended!
I’ve had several dog sitters for pinto and also checked out a few dog boarders in the area and Christine by far has been the best. I initially chose her since I liked the opportunity for my dog to be able to have a friend and lots of playtime to distract from my absence without the overstimulation, and also unknown factor of multiple dogs in a larger day care situation. Her communication and thoroughness ahead of boarding alleviated a lot of anxiety I had around preparing to leave my dog for the longest we’ve been apart. The day of the trip, I was dealing with a last minute flight cancellation and she was so kind and flexible with me as I worked out a new drop off time. She also set expectations up front with when to expect the daily updates and then delivered exactly as she said she would, which again was a relief. Her updates provided me with insight into pintos daily routine there and the photos she shared were not just helpful for checking in but delightful. I shared them with my family daily to see what pinto had been up to and my mom commented on the high quality of the shots. In terms of care, due to discussions ahead of time, I felt confident in alignment with her around general training, engagement, exercise and feeding which was confirmed throughout the trip with our communication. When I came back, pinto has happy to see me but also wasn’t over stimulated more like she had a fun visit with a friend. I am definitely rebooking with Christine for future dog sitting needs and highly recommend her for others

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Millbrae 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 5,979 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 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 Millbrae 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 Millbrae 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 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.
