“Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting were great sitters for our dog, Micro. They were very communicative prior to the booking to make sure they would be able to accommodate her needs. During the booking they updated us daily and sent beautiful pictures. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Thiago was wonderful with Riley! He sent lots of pictures and kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell Riley was well cared for, and I really appreciated that Thiago even noticed when his food was running low. I would definitely recommend him and would happily have him watch Riley again!”
“Shao did a great job with our dog, Youduner. Took he for walks, gave he lots of attention and was very communicative. She asked all the right questions during the meet and greet and was transparent about her schedule. Would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
“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.”
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!
“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.”
“We left our 8 month old goldendoodle puppy, Theo, with Wei last week for the first time. She was so accommodating and helpful from the start and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our sweet baby boy in her hands. We originally booked for the weekend but due to a death in the family needed to leave our puppy for a few more days. I messaged Wei and within a few hours she replied and said that she could watch Theo for the whole time. She was flexible regarding pickup and drop off times and was very prompt with her responses while tying to coordinate these details. Wei sent me pictures of Theo throughout his stay as well as quick updates which was so nice to receive. At pickup, they gave us short and sweet updates about Theo's stay. Theo was in great spirits at pickup and was even freshly brushed which is not an easy task. I would 100% refer Wei to any close friends of family who are looking for someone to watch their dog. My husband and I were very happy with our puppy's stay with Wei and will be using her again in the near future!”
“Cynthia and her family are truly a Peninsula gem. My dog, Loki, is a border collie mix who thrives on daily outdoor adventures beyond neighborhood walks—he’s a regular at Fort Funston and Thornton Beach and definitely has high standards for exercise and enrichment. During his stay, Cynthia went above and beyond to cater to all of Loki’s needs and kept him happy, active, and well cared for. I especially appreciated her family-centered approach to pet sitting—it made such a difference knowing Loki was treated like part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave him and will absolutely be booking with Cynthia again!”
“Renee and Chris are very trusted sister. Because my dolls medical condition, I had to be picky to find new sitter not to have multiple other dogs. They only accepted my dogs and no other dogs. Renee made sure to provide the medication and she is very familiar with. They sent us a lot of pictures and video and we were very happy to know how our dogs were doing every day. Renee and Chris are highly recommended and I will ask their availability when we need our dog sitter next time for sure.”
“Thank you so much!! She’s a great sitter and my puppy loved her. Very sweet and took care of my puppy while I had an emergency. Please don’t hesitate to book her!”
“I was so anxious about leaving my two babies for a week. Both are seniors and one is blind with diabetes and just had an eye injury one week prior to their stay. Yuko really took good care them and administered insulin injections twice a day and gave her daily medications for her eye. It is very hard to find a sitter who is able to give injections. After searching for weeks I found Kazo & Yuko U. I really appreciated the updates, pictures and videos, especially when they go to the park. It really put my mind at ease that they are in good hands. I would definitely book with Kazo & Yuko U again if I need a sitter.”
“Anna was wonderful with my dog! She sent pictures and videos and gave me daily updates on how she was doing. I felt totally at ease while I was away. Would absolutely book again.”
“Winnie was amazing taking care of our mini Bernedoodle for about a week in her home. Our dog can be a picky eater, especially when away from home, but Winnie made sure she ate and was great at communicating with us. We've already booked future stays. Thanks, Winnie!”
“Celeste is amazing with our dog Jack! He feels right at home there and she is always updating us with pictures and stories throughout the day. He's loves going over to stay with Celeste!”
“Sofia is amazing! Our 4yr old Shilo stayed over for 4 days and all the pictures showed me how much fun he was having. I really appreciate how Sofia was able to accommodate Bruce’s disability (his paw was cut really bad by glass and no longer can run like normal). Will definitely be booking with Sofia soon!”
“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!”
“10 GOLD STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Alyson Hunmin ! This was our family’s first time using Rover and our dog sitter was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my fur baby. She updated me daily with plenty of photos attached. I highly recommend her!”
“Joseph is a nice guy who took good care of my 6 month old puppy. He gave me update with pics everyday which gave me peace of mind that my pup was doing ok. He seemed to have a great time playing with the other dogs in the yard. The day after he came home, he was a bit mopey and I think it was because he missed Joseph, his family and the other dogs!”

Lida was so great with our 7 year old Havanese, Winston! We only had him over for one night and day, but she took him out on fun adventures like going to the beach. She sent a lot of photos that made us feel assured Winston was in good hands. I highly recommend Lida!
Our dog Izzy stayed with Brandon for 12 nights, which was the longest we've ever been away from her. Brandon sent us daily photos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. He gave Izzy lots of attention and made her feel at home, which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We'd definitely book with Brandon again.
Yvonne was great, helped us out with a last minute stay for our dog and accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Great communication throughout and we really appreciated the updates and our dog seemed to be right at home with Yvonne and her husband. Will definitely enlist her help looking after our dog again.
Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting took excellent care of our two dogs over the holiday weekend. From start to finish, communication was outstanding. Before the stay, we met at a local park so they could get to know us and our dogs—a 10 lb Pomeranian and a 17 lb mixed breed. They have a very organized spreadsheet that covers everything about each dog, including medications, feeding instructions, potty schedule, routines, and other important details. Once we filled it out, it made communication incredibly easy, especially using Google Docs. Throughout the stay, they sent us daily photo and video updates, and they responded to every text message and phone call almost immediately. Our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Their home is in a nice, safe neighborhood, and we appreciated the extra security of the gated front entrance and enclosed side yard. Most importantly, Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting are genuine dog lovers and incredibly kind people. We feel very lucky to have found them and will absolutely book with them again. Highly recommended!
I’ve had several dog sitters for pinto and also checked out a few dog boarders in the area and Christine by far has been the best. I initially chose her since I liked the opportunity for my dog to be able to have a friend and lots of playtime to distract from my absence without the overstimulation, and also unknown factor of multiple dogs in a larger day care situation. Her communication and thoroughness ahead of boarding alleviated a lot of anxiety I had around preparing to leave my dog for the longest we’ve been apart. The day of the trip, I was dealing with a last minute flight cancellation and she was so kind and flexible with me as I worked out a new drop off time. She also set expectations up front with when to expect the daily updates and then delivered exactly as she said she would, which again was a relief. Her updates provided me with insight into pintos daily routine there and the photos she shared were not just helpful for checking in but delightful. I shared them with my family daily to see what pinto had been up to and my mom commented on the high quality of the shots. In terms of care, due to discussions ahead of time, I felt confident in alignment with her around general training, engagement, exercise and feeding which was confirmed throughout the trip with our communication. When I came back, pinto has happy to see me but also wasn’t over stimulated more like she had a fun visit with a friend. I am definitely rebooking with Christine for future dog sitting needs and highly recommend her for others

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 San Bruno 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 San Bruno 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 San Bruno 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 San Bruno.
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 San Bruno 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.
