“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!”
“I had a last minute change for my trip and couldn’t bring my dog anymore. I messaged Cynthia within a few hours of having to leave and she was super responsive, very flexible and agreed to watch my dog for the weekend. I picked my pup up and she was tired and happy.”
“Mimi and Wilson took amazing care of our Kami! They sent daily updates with cute photos and shared the sweetest little stories about her day and the fun adventures they took her on. They were super responsive throughout our trip. When Kami wasn't eating well, they went the extra mile by hand-feeding her and made sure she was never left alone. The care and attention they showed was truly amazing; you could tell they truly enjoyed spending time with her, and Kami obviously loved being with them too! Their dedication gave us total peace of mind during our vacation. I couldn't ask for better, more caring sitters and would book with them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Kazu and Yuko are great! They took very good care of our Boba and updated us multiple times a day. It was nice seeing photos and videos of our baby while we were away. It was also nice that they had a dog too to keep boba company. Thank you Kazu and Yuko!”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“Thank you Maria for taking care of Eevee! It was Eevee’s first time in doggy day care and she took great care of her with constant updates to me throughout the day. She is flexible and very easy going. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Arani & Nupur were friendly and communicative both before and during our dog’s stay with them. We received frequent updates on how she was doing. We would definitely trust them with our dog in the future! Thank you!”
“The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.”
“Luke was awesome. My pup Casper loved him immediately, like he was an old friend. And I could tell that he really cared about dogs. He sent lots of photos of Casper and his own dogs on long walks or playing together, which gave me huge peace of mind that my dog was in good hands. I’d recommend Luke to anyone, and would happily return for pet sitting. I’m sure Casper would love another pet weekend getaway too.”
“Joseph is wonderful taking care of our Coco when we are away. He was very flexible with the schedule. Our flight was delayed so we could not pick up Coco as scheduled and he totally understood. He also sent us daily updates of Coco which we really appreciated. Coco had good time in Joseph’s house. We certainly will consider boarding Coco in his house next time.”
“Westley was happy to return to Stephanie’s place this past weekend. Stephanie provided multiple updates throughout his time there and we could tell he was in good hands. We would definitely bring him back again.”
“Christine and Mark were incredible sitters! I was really nervous to leave our dog, especially since we were going out of the country for 6 days, but they made my husband and I completely worry free the whole time. We got updates multiple times a day and Dennis genuinely looked happy to be with them. Dennis is a really nervous dog but and when we picked him up I honestly think he was a little sad to be leaving their home. I would 1000% recommend them and will absolutely be requesting their services in the future!”
“Wonderful people! Super detail oriented on how to care for my fur baby Pico! They kept us updated everyday on how he was doing and I completely trust them. We will be in touch again for when we need a dog sitter again!”
“Allison and Gordon are our go to sitters! Omar and Audrey once again had a great time and came home happy and tired out. Even with a few days of rain and Omar's dislike of wet grass on his feet, they clearly got lots of attention and exercise. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“This was Kale’s first time boarding with someone outside of our family, and he absolutely loved his 10 night stay with Jade and her sweet family. From the very beginning, Jade was incredibly communicative, keeping us informed every step of the way. Before Kale's stay, she thoroughly asked questions to ensure she understood everything needed to take care of him, from his daily routine to his specific preferences and any special needs. She consistently provided photo updates, along with detailed messages about Kale’s day-to-day activities, which really helped us feel connected and reassured while we were apart. Jade has a very keen eye and is incredibly observant when it comes to how dogs are feeling. She knows exactly how to ensure that the dogs in her care feel loved and happy, which was evident in how content Kale was during his stay. When we came to pick him up, Kale didn’t want to leave and clearly wanted to stay longer! I would highly recommend Jade to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Marina was lovely - great communication, great doggy sitting experience. Plenty of updates and photos during the sit, my dog was taken on lots of activities and was loved on while staying. I would rebook with her any time and am happy to recommend her!”
“Zet did a great job watching Nemo while we were away for a week. He got some quality play time in with her dogs and she kept us updated with pictures and videos. Thanks Zet!”
“Katie is wonderful. Great at keep up with the status update and pictures. She knows what my dog likes and takes my fur baby as her own. Yes, my fur baby is shy and needy but Katie has no problem taking of her.”

Jeffrey dog-sat our dog Dubby for the weekend and Dubby had a wonderful time. We appreciated the initial meet and greet to get to know Jeffrey (and Barney). Jeffrey provided many photos and videos and communicated everything that was going on very clearly. Thank you and we hope to book again!
Sandra and Jose took wonderful care of our dog Captain, and we couldn't have asked for better. They sent tons of photos and detailed updates the whole time, which was incredibly reassuring and made us feel like he was being looked after just like we would. Captain got plenty of exercise and playtime and came home happy and tired. They were communicative, thoughtful, and clearly love dogs. We'd happily book them again and recommend them to anyone!
Arani and Nupur watched our corgi, Chippy, on back-to-back weekends while we were away for weddings, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Before booking, we had a meet-and-greet where they took the time to really understand Chippy’s schedule, personality, and quirks. After we booked with them the first time, they also sent us a questionnaire, which made us feel like they genuinely wanted to get to know him and make sure they could care for him properly. By the end of the meet-and-greet and questionnaire, we felt confident that they had a clear understanding of Chippy. Throughout both stays, they sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Chippy also warmed up to them incredibly quickly. After we dropped him off the first time, he happily walked away with them without even looking back, practically smiling as he headed off with his new Rovers! He was equally happy and content when we picked him up both times. Arani and Nupur are now our go-to sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They’re thoughtful, communicative, attentive, and clearly wonderful with dogs. We feel very lucky to have found them!
Rosanne has shown exceptional care from the first day we dropped her off until the last day we had picked her up. She communicated with us with text and photos throughout each day on her adjustment, feeding, walking and behavior to a new environment. Rosanne was knowledgeable in finding ways to feed Zoe when she wasn’t eating or drinking. Rosanne followed our schedule and made adjustments when needed. She had open communication with us regarding Zoe’s day. Zoe’s daily care and comfort from morning until evening was Rosanne’s top priority! I would rate Rosanne a 5 plus with another care opportunity!
We are so grateful to Stephen and his family for taking such good care of our fur-baby while we were away. Our happy and exuberant 5-year old pup was recovering from surgery, and he needed a combination of loving care (he loves people!) and protection from his own enthusiasm so he could heal after his operation. Stephen and his family provided both, plus sending pictures showing our doggie relaxing with his temporary "adopted" family. We're delighted that our dog has found new friends, and we hope that Stephen and his family will be available the next time we have to travel.
Yuri was responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up due to travel schedule. He and his family were very kind and worked to make our dog comfortable. They made it very easy for us to attend an important family event without any worries. Would definitely rebook with them!
Ivan was amazing with my 3 dogs! Not only was he able to accommodate a last minute booking, but he was also flexible with pickup when my travel back was delayed. I received regular updates/pictures and quick responses when I reached out. Highly recommend booking with Ivan, your pups will have a great time at his home!
She is the best. Mickey and her dog Chichi had so much fun playing together.. They went on walks together my dog Mickey had so much fun. Alex is very thoughtful , kind and great with Mickey. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Mickey..
Valentyna took such wonderful care of Brahmi while we were away. As this was the first time we left him with someone else, we were initially nervous, but those feelings disappeared the moment we met them. Their confidence and ability to work with his sensitive, special needs character were clear, and he immediately felt comfortable. We truly appreciate the love and care that was provided, we highly recommend Valentyna.
Milo loved his stay with Henrianna! She took excellent care of him and kept me updated with photos throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. She also has a backyard where the dogs can go out and play, which gave Milo a great space to run around and enjoy himself with other dogs. She had a crate available for him, which was very convenient, and she even walked him on the day of pickup. I would absolutely rebook with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
I’m very satisfied with Cindy. Her space is clean and spacious. We brought our own crate and blanket but she also prepared one set for us. She took pictures and videos during the day so it was easier for us to check Poppy’s (our dog) condition. Our dog bonded with her family very quickly. Cindy baked some fresh snacks for Poppy. She even packed some Poppy’s favorite food for us to take home. If you are looking for a sitter who truly loves dog, Cindy is your No. 1 choice.
He was wonderful with my dog, and she clearly had the best time with him. He was also incredibly helpful and flexible with my schedule, which isn’t the same every day because of work. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pacifica is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $94 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% of sitters in Pacifica 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 Pacifica 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 Pacifica.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacifica. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Pacifica 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
