“Mario took good care of our dog while we were out of town. He sent us pics during our dog's stay and would respond timely to any concerns or questions we had. Thanks Mario!”
“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.”
“Karla was amazing! Ace had so much fun and it was nice that is was mainly sm/med dogs for him to play with! She was a great communicator and sent pics to us frequently! Ace can’t wait to come back to visit Karla!! ❤️”
“Nina and Leo took great care of our greyhound/Great Pyrenees mix. They were great about updating us everyday on how he was doing (walks, bm’s, etc). They were very thorough in understanding his schedule and needs.”
About: I currently am a dog mom to a 12-year-old toy poodle, Pingu. He's very energetic and I would love to have him make more furry friends. Dogs must all be updated with their rabies and flea medications. I will not accept more than 3 dogs each time (with an exception for dogs from the same household) to make sure each dog will be getting the care and attention they deserve. I take the dogs out at least 3 times a day. Morning, Late Afternoon, Before bed. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking forward to meet your pups :) I work from home and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur baby. Your fur baby will be able to roam around and play as they please in the yard. I live in a single family house with a side yard where my dog often plays. My neighborhood is a dog loving community so your fur baby will have the opportunity to meet other dogs as well. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house.
“I have only had my dog Foxy for a short while, so I was a bit apprehensive about having to travel without her. But Anna was so kind in meeting Foxy and listened to all my concerns and nuances about her care. From all the pictures Anna sent me, I could tell that Foxy was relaxed and having a good time - which let me relax and have a good time in my travels.”
“Summer stayed with Dawn and Mel for about 1.5 months, and we’re so grateful we found them. They took such great care of her and made her feel right at home. We especially appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos—it really gave us peace of mind and we loved seeing how she was doing. She looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care. We’d absolutely trust them with Summer again and highly recommend them. 🐶❤️”
“Our dog had a great time with Michael & Evie! We actually think he misses them :) They always updates us and send us photos of Kaido without us asking for it. We are really glad we left Kaido with them. Definitely won't be the last time! Thank you again Michael & Evie for taking such good care of our gentle giant 💜”
“Thank you Andy and family for taking care of our 2.5 year old maltipoo! Our fur baby had a great time with them. He sent pictures and kept us updated. Will definitely use them again if we go away.”

“Cesar is one of our dog’s favorite people :) He is caring, super communicative, and takes wonderful photos of our pups. You can tell he loves animals and we are so grateful to have found him to trust Lila with!”
“First time using her, and she was awesome! She was super understanding even with my last minute booking and kept me updated every day with photos of my dog. It gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Martina is a wonderful host! She and her family were super caring for our dog, not only providing excellent care but also taking him out on adventures! She sent us daily updates, was very responsive to messages, and her kids were also very loving with our dog. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Michael is a fantastic dogsitter! He takes the dogs on looooong walks and sends lots of photos. My only complaint is that I think my dog liked him better than us and sulked the day we brought her home!! But that's not his fault!”
“I had an pawsome experience with Ruo during Tyler’s stay. She kept me updated with walks, Tyler’s mood and pictures after initial meet and greet. She shows great care for my son.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Redwood City
I had a great experience with this sitter! She was very understanding and flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates and quickly adjusted her schedule so I could bring my dog a day earlier. My dog is usually shy and takes time to warm up, so I was really happy to see how comfortable and happy he was when I picked him up. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much for being so kind, flexible, and taking such great care of my dog!
Can’t recommend Karla enough! I’d booked another sitter who was a no-show at 5am.. right before I had to catch a flight. Karla agreed to watch Stella by 6am and took wonderful care of her! I couldn’t have asked for more in such a stressful situation. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Stella felt right at home 🐶
Moose had a great time with Taylor and her family, and didn’t want to leave :) Taylor was very communicative throughout the stay. I appreciated the daily photo updates and her attentiveness to Moose’s schedule. The meet & greet beforehand was also super helpful. Thanks so much, Taylor!
Shannon took great care of our lab Peanut and kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and messages. He got plenty of walks and activities, and it was clear that he was well looked after. We really appreciated the communication and would happily book with Shannon again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Redwood City on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,783 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.
