About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. They’ve always been at the center of my heart and home. My last two, Pinky and Kika, lived long, happy lives (16 and 18 years), and caring for them taught me patience, attentiveness, and a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I offer a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and truly cared for, always paying close attention to their routine, comfort, and emotional needs. Whether a dog is playful, shy, or a senior who needs extra gentleness, I treat each one as if they were my own. My husband and I work together to provide a loving and attentive environment for every dog in our care. We focus on helping each dog feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Our home is thoughtfully set up for dogs, with a secure and comfortable backyard that’s easy to navigate. We also live just a short walk from a beautiful creek and nearby nature areas, perfect for calm, enriching walks.
“We had a wonderful experience with Tara! Tara was great with our dog, Koda, during a week long stay over the holidays. She was clearly caring and responsible, and followed all of the instructions we provided. Tara was also very communicative throughout the stay and regularly shared photo updates, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love to have Koda stay with her again.”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Noki had a wonderful time at Erica and Stephen's house. They sent videos and pictures and gave him so much love when I was away. They made him feel so at home! He was so tuckered out when he got home after all his play time he was out like a light through the night. He had the best time!”
“Sin is a great sitter! Extremely communicative and checks in when needed. My pup can be on the skittish side yet she’s comfortable in Sin’s care. Definitely recommend Sin!”
“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience working with Nupur and Arani, who took excellent care of our dog Romeo. They communicated patiently and proactively, and asked thoughtful questions to ensure a smooth transition and a caring experience for Romeo. We received continuous updates throughout the trip, and Romeo had a great time at their home, too.”
“Cynthia & Chi were absolutely wonderful with Cali! She can be pretty skittish at first but they knew how to keep her comfortable and stimulated with lots of playtime and all those walks. They sent multiple photos and videos every day which totally reassured she was active and relaxed and overall very well cared for. Also they were super chill and accommodating when our flight got delayed. We will definitely use them again and are so happy to have found them!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Gracie had a great stay - Gordon and Allison were fantastic from booking to pickup. They followed all instructions perfectly, provided lots of communication and updates, and my dog came back happy and clean. Would definitely trust them again.”
“We used Wei when we were out of town for 2 weeks around Christmas. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent daily updates and pictures. Logan really enjoyed having another lab to play with too. We will definitely leave Logan with her again if she's available :).”
“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!”
“We received daily videos. It was a rainy weekend, so they couldn’t get out much. My dog was happy in the videos and it seemed like she didn’t want to go home when we picked her up. Since this was our first time using this sitter, we met up beforehand.”
“Kitty and Vivian were amazing! I was so nervous leaving my dog away for the first time, but she made herself right at home. They sent pictures, and Missy looked like she had a great time when we picked her up. We will definitely have Missy stay there again.”
“Lida was a fantastic caregiver for my one-year-old. She took exceptional care of her, making sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and affection. She kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I never once worried about my dog in her care, and I would absolutely use her services again if I’m ever back in the area. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Pacifica is $75

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..
Cristina was great with Luna, and I’d definitely recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet! Cristina helped us out last second when our original sitter fell through. She was responsive, asked all the right questions, and took great care of Luna. We got pictures and check ins everyday, and she gave Luna such love and care. I’m so happy Cristina could take care of Luna for us while we were out of the country, and I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips!
This was my first time using Rover and Mia is a pro. She guided me through it and was super communicative. I appreciate her patience with me and helping me and Bluey along. Our pup looked to have enjoyed his stay there. Thank up Mia and Alec. You 2 made me feel very comfortable that my boy Bluey was in a safe place.
We were so anxious to leave our 5 month old pup for the 1st time. We booked Luke and scheduled a meet and greet at a dog park. Within just a few moments I felt completely at ease with leaving our dog with Luke. Our puppy spent 4 days in dog heaven taking long walks and playing in dog parks for hours everyday. Luke sent lots of updates with pics and videos of all the fun they had; I never once felt worried about leaving our family member in his care. I actually feel guilty bringing my dog home from his awesome vacation! I'm already looking at my calendar to ensure we get Luke for our next vacation.
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!
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.
Amy was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was with her. She followed all instructions carefully, gave great updates, and truly paid attention to my dog’s comfort and needs. It was clear that my dog felt safe, calm, and happy, she settled in quickly, slept through the night, and had a great time. Amy’s care felt both loving and responsible, and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I would happily trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Felix was a warm and welcoming dog-sitter for my cavaliers, Roscoe and Rocket. He must have entertained them royally, as they became very attached to him and came home very happy. I highly recommend Felix and plan to request his services for my next out-of-town trip.
This was my first time ever using Rover and I’m so glad I found Ivan for Archie’s first overnight boarding that’s not a family or friend. He was amazing with Archie and made sure to follow my preferred feeding process. He sent picture updates and was extremely responsive with any questions I had. He was also super kind and flexible with the pick up time since something came up last minute. In the end, picked up the original time but it is reassuring to know how accommodating he is. Great guy and great sitter. Would recommend. Thanks again Ivan!
Better than great, the care my dog received with Julian was EXCEPTIONAL! Above & beyond the typical boarding experience, my dog Leroy wasn’t simply a guest in Julian’s home, he was PART OF THE FAMILY! I received plenty of photos and videos showing Leroy running, wrestling & playing tug with their super-cute sheepdog, Gaitana. Julian also sent photos of Leroy cuddled-up in bed, tangled-up with the family & their dogs. Those photos erased every morsel of anxiety that accompanied leaving my fur baby in the care of a relative stranger. And then, a final clincher…. When I picked-up Leroy from his 6-night stay, Julian said “My wife is going to be so disappointed! She was hoping she’d get home in time to say goodbye to Leroy.” How sweet is that?!?!?

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pacifica on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 5,426 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pacifica. 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.
91% of Pacifica 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 Pacifica 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 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.
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.
