“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!”
“Great couple! Very responsive. They really took care of my dog and I can tell that my dog had a great time at their home. I received the photos of my dog every day and knew that my dog was treated very well. Highly recommend!”
“Karla is amazing. Poppy is very shy and fearful and when I picked her up, it was clear that she bonded with Karla. Karla was always responsive, sent pictures and updates regularly and followed Poppy’s routine.”
“Diana took excellent care of our pug Winston over the weekend. She sent us photos of him playing around the house. I'd highly recommend Diana, and definitely book with her again! ”
About: I’m a physician at Stanford who brings patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to caring for your pet. I've owned both cats and dogs my whole life and I'm comfortable taking care of them - and understand the importance of attention and supportive care. My approach is to learn their routine, respect their personality, and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys an active walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll tailor our time to their needs. You can expect clear communication, photo updates, and careful attention to your instructions. I've watched both cats and dogs at my home for the past 5 years. I’m a physician currently doing dedicated research, which allows me to work from home between lab visits and meetings. If I list myself as available then I will be home nearly all the time, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention. I’ll confirm my schedule with you before booking to make sure it fits your pet’s needs. There are no other pets in my home. Having had both cats and dogs since childhood, I miss their company and would love to care for yours! I’ll give your pet time to settle in, follow their usual feeding and care routines, and provide playtime or quiet companionship depending on their personality. You can expect regular photos and updates while you’re away.

“Tillana is a complete and utter rock star. If you read no other review about her please read this one... 1) Every pet owner is worried when they leave town about what *could* happen. Unfortunately when we left the country our dog, Kitori, had something happen. She had a bee sting her. Tillana reached out to us, and took care of the problem. She took Kitori to the Vet. Here is what I have to say about that: * She dealt with the problem professionally * We felt very well informed about what was going on * Her professionalism allowed us to enjoy our vacation If that doesn't give you piece of mind, please read on... 2) Every day we received pictures of Kitori going out on activities... Playing in a park with other dogs... GOING TO THE BEACH!!! I literally felt like Kitori was having a fun vacation from us. 3) Tillana does a great job of communicating in terms of drop off and pick up, which once again, when you are in the stress of travel, makes life much better. I can't say enough good things!”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and adult dogs. I have experience with basic puppy training, such as crate training, leash walking, and reinforcing good behaviors through positive reinforcement. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Dogs in my care enjoy regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and lots of companionship. I am available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will be treated like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and dog-friendly home environment and only accept a small number of dogs at a time so that each dog receives personalized care and attention. My friendly 2.5-year-old Bernedoodle, Yoshi, enjoys meeting new dogs and is a great play companion. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and special needs. Dogs are always supervised during interactions, and I can accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.”
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.

Pouneh was amazing with our dog, Caramel. She was great at communicating and sent us great updates on how Caramel was doing. She was very responsible and professional from the very beginning, when we had our meet and greet. We felt great peace of mind that Caramel was in good hands, and that is super important as dog parents. We will definitely leave Caramel with Pouneh again and we highly recommend her!
We had a wonderful experience with Chris! He was very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend him and book again!
Michelle and Dani were absolutely wonderful sitters for Sunny and Dawa! They were communicative, responsive and really helpful throughout the stay. They sent lots of photos and videos where I could see how comfortable and happy the pups were in their care. I felt confident the whole time that they were in good hands. I’d highly recommend them and hope to work together in the future.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Redwood City is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $83 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 6,703 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 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.
93% of sitters in Redwood City 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 Redwood City home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
