“I'm so blessed that Stephen takes good care of my dog and I have no worry leaving him with him. My dog gets so excited as we drive closer to his house as it is his own.”
“Nina and Leo took great care of Nana! We had a great meet and greet. While they were watching her they provided tons of photos and updates. She was in great hands! We will definitely request them again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Theresa did a wonderful job with Zero. She sent a photo update every other night with a little blurb. This was actually our second time with Theresa. We booked an overnight initially as it was Zero's first time being cared for by someone who is not family. Drop off and pick up was easy and fast. Communication was open and accommodating.”
“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog and she seemed super happy when I picked her up. I also appreciated all the pictures I got of her, I was able to enjoy my vacation and not be worried about her.”
“Cesar was so fabulous with our dog. She seemed to love her stay with him. His photos are A+ and you receive very detailed updates. Gemma can't wait to go back and play!”
“Tillana was great with our dog and was able to accommodate a last minute boarding. We loved seeing all the photos from Maui's stay and it showed how much fun he had with Tillana and all of the other pups. He got a lot of exercise and made a lot of friends!!”
“Marivel has been an amazing pet sitter for Luna while we were away for a week. I got periodic daily updates and she was also knowledgeable in handling tough situations e.g. when Luna refused to eat her food etc.”
“Christopher is wonderful. He's so thoughtful about sending updates and pictures, but most importantly, my dog is so happy to spend time with him. Would give 6 stars if I could.”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Ruo host my dog for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Throughout the stay, Ruo kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that Ruo genuinely connected with my dog—so much so that when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to come home! My dog's comfort and happiness were Ruo's top priorities, and it truly showed. I highly recommend Ruo to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“Karla has been great taking care of our Marv. He returned home happy and healthy after 3 weeks that we were away. She also very flexible with the pick-up and drop-off schedule. I highly recommend Karla!”
“Mario took good care of my dog and sent pictures throughout my time away. He was also very flexible with the time that I could pick up Copper. Will definitely use again for boarding.”
“Manli is incredible! She stepped in at the last minute to watch our dog, Astrid, for almost a week. Her communication is top-notch, and the nightly photo updates gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear that she and her family truly care about the pets they watch. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“My dog's stay with Al was fantastic! Al was super responsive and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and explained his routine thoroughly. My dog came home happily tired from playing with other dogs during his stay. I will definitely be boarding with Al again. Thanks Al!”
“Repeat client of Lai’s - appreciate her timely responses and lucky she was available on short notice. I feel I can trust my dog with her because when I picked him up she mentioned observations about his appetite and behavior that seemed potentially abnormal. Thank you again Lai!”
“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
“Sally was absolutely amazing with my dog Sadie during an overnight boarding stay. I was worried that my dog would experience separation anxiety, but Sally sent plenty of pictures showing Sadie having a wonderful time. This eased my concerns immensely and allowed me to focus on my work trip. Sadie even got along with Sally's dog, and Sadie does not like a lot of other dogs. Sally followed all of my instructions and kept in constant contact with me. She was even flexible when my return flight was delayed. Overall, I'm so glad I trusted Sally with my dog, and I would definitely do so again. I would strongly recommend her to any discerning pet parent!”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Redwood City on Rover is $48.15 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 6,709 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Redwood City. 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 Redwood City 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 Redwood City 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 Redwood City 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 Redwood City.
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 Redwood City 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.
