“Sandra & Jose are everything you could want in the people who you trust to watch your pet. I could tell from the photos that my pup felt safe, happy, and truly at home with this lovely couple. It kinda felt like he belongs with them, so I was happy to extend his stay. Communication was on point, lots of cute pupdates, and my dog came home as one should after a lovely vacation— relaxed and happy. Thank you both for your time & dedication. It means the world to my little family.”
“Tara was wonderful with Kami! Our girl had a short and sweet stay that was absolutely perfect for her laid-back personality. Kami spent her time relaxing in the sun and just hanging out, which is exactly what she loves. We really appreciated Tara's thoughtful communication throughout the stay. Her daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind and made us smile. It was clear that Kami's chill vibe was a great match for Tara's calm and welcoming environment. We could tell Kami had a great time and felt right at home. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Tara again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant leaving our fur child with a stranger but when I met Cynthia and her husband Chi, i felt very comfortable and knew our dog was in good hands. Cynthia and Chi welcomed Saint in their lovely home with great backyard space where Saint was able to play with Cynthia’s super friendly golden retrievers. She sent us updates throughout the day which we appreciated and made us feel more at ease that Saint was really enjoying his time with Cynthia and her family. We will definitely be asking Cynthia to care for Saint whenever we’re out of town in the future! Thank you again, Cynthia (and family) this was truly a smooth and great experience!”
“Arani and Napur took wonderful care of our dogs. They took daily photos, kept in touch daily, and sincerely enjoyed our dogs’ company. Our dogs got spoiled with their company and got along with their own pup, Patches. I’d recommend Arani and Napur to everyone considering puppy care. They are a wonderful couple, kind and caring.”
“Had a great experience with yu-Liang and yi-ting dog sitting our pet Bella. They were very responsive and sent lots of photos. Would definitely have them dog sit again in the future. Recommend!”
“Mimi was such a wonderful sitter! She was very diligent and thorough in following Rufus’ care info and sent us so many fun updates regarding how he was doing. Rufus had so much fun with Mimi and as a dog parent, you couldn’t ask for more from a sitter. I’d definitely recommend Mimi to anyone looking to board their dog ❤️❤️❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Thiago! As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them since childhood. My family has always had dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I’m proud to turn that lifelong passion into a career, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🐾 We’re a family home where everyone is passionate about dogs! I’m home full time so your dog will always be supervised and never left alone. We treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay 🥰 All care takes place in my home, where I’m with the dogs full-time. Since I care for the pups myself throughout the day, I do not offer dog walks or outside outings. They enjoy a safe, supervised environment with a large fenced backyard to play, relax and socialize! I have a big fenced yard, turfed and lotta space for your puppy, I have a friendly dog so is a good company to have fun!! Our home is located only 4–5 minutes from the SFO airport which makes drop-off and pick-up super convenient for travelers. We also know that life can be unpredictable, whether it’s a delayed flight, traffic, or last-minute changes, we’re flexible and always do our best to adjust accordingly. My sister has been a professional dog sitter for years, but she’ll be taking a few months off for an upcoming foot surgery and recovery. I recently moved in to help her, and caring for dogs is now my full-time job. If you’re here from her profile, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and continue providing the same loving, safe and home away from home experience! ❤️
“Wei was amazing with my old lady Sally. She sent pictures and updates of Sally looking happy and comfortable, she followed all of my instructions and made me feel very confident that she was in good hands. I am in the process of rebooking with her next month. I absolutely recommend Wei to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Wei has a very calm and gentle energy that I admire and appreciate in someone taking care of my precious little girl! Thank you again!”
“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 always feel really comfortable bringing our dogs, Tofu and Lily, to stay with Gordon and Allison’s family. They take great care of them and send daily updates, which gives us peace of mind while we're away. Our new dog, Lily, settled in quickly at their house, and it was clear that both dogs felt safe, happy, and well cared for. We’re grateful to have sitters we can trust and will definitely book with them again.”
About: Virtually 24/7 availability! I work from home and can provide care and attention for almost all day long. I have had dogs for about 20 years as well as lots of foster/rescue experience. I work from home so I can care for your pet as needed! Your dog can have run of the house - I allow dogs on furniture and even let them sleep in our bed if that's what they are used to. I have a fenced backyard and a small, friendly, neutered Pomeranian mix to keep your dog company! I am in a single adult home with no children.
“Shao Er provided lots of video and photo updates to assure us our fur baby was comfortable. I appreciate the flexibility with the pick up time. Will definitely rebook with her if we’re out of town again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“My dog, Skittles, was saved by Kazu &Yuko. Originally, We sent Skittles to one of the sitter who we found in Mission Bay. After one night, that sitter messaged me saying that my dog was too anxious, barked and peed on their carpet. They mentioned they basically need me to look for another sitter. We had never have issues using Rover until that day. Long story short I was having anxiety since I wasn’t in town. Kazu & Yuko took over the responsibility. They drove to Mission Bay to pick up Skittles from the original sitter almost right away. Knowing I was anxious, they messaged me 3-4x/day with photos and videos of my dog getting spoiled!!! I love this couple so much!!! They gave Skittles such great care and both of them are so sweet not just to my pet but also to me. Thank you to both again !!!”
“Renee and Christopher feels like a second home for Jeffrey. We absolutely love the way they care for him when we are away. Thank you both for another wonderful stay with you.”
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and love caring for them. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog enjoying a walk, playing, or getting plenty of belly scratches. I also foster dogs, so I'm experienced with different personalities and needs. If your dog would do best with one-on-one care while boarding, I'll pause fostering to make sure they have my full attention and a safe, loving environment. I have a flexible work schedule and we will go on at least 2 walks during the day. Keep us both healthier and happier throughout the day! I'll always watch them like they are my own and will make sure they don't get into anything unexpected to keep them in good health!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Pacifica is $75

I chose Valentina as my sitter and I wouldn’t choose anyone else over her again! She was very flexible and accommodating with me and kept me constantly updated on how things were going. She was very well experienced and treated my pup with the utmost patience and care! Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter in the San Francisco area!
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!
Words can’t express how incredible Sandra and Jose were with Gizmo. I picked him up yesterday, and he honestly seemed a little sad that his mini-vacation with them had come to an end! 🫣 From our very first meet-and-greet through pickup, they were warm, welcoming, and transparent about their experience caring for dogs. They made me feel that Gizmo was genuinely loved and wanted, not simply being looked after as a responsibility. They went above and beyond in caring for him, asking if they could make him homemade organic sweet potatoes and even preparing him rice water when they saw he had an upset stomach. Their kindness and affection for Gizmo was evident in every update, message, and interaction I had with them. I found myself genuinely looking forward to their updates, whether it was a video of Jose earning his first kisses, or a picture of Sandra spending her mornings enjoying a coffee while playing fetch. It was clear that Gizmo was not only well cared for but truly loved. I feel so lucky to have found Sandra and Jose, and I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future. Thank you so much!
Tara was amazing! My dog leans quite anxious so I always get nervous dropping him off with new sitters, but she was so patient with both him and me and so kind. She listened to all my particular requests for him, and I felt very safe and assured leaving him in her hands. My dog loved his stay, 10/10 sitter and will definitely be taking him to her again!
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..
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pacifica on Rover is $57.72 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 5,302 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.
92% 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.
