“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
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! ❤️
“Yu-Liang & Yi-Ting were awesome with our dogs. Super caring, easy to communicate with, and clearly love dogs. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them and would absolutely book them 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.”
“Renee and Chris were outstanding! They agreed to a last minute request when I had an urgent need to fly home. We arranged a meet and greet very quickly to make sure our dogs were compatible. Chewie is a newly adopted rescue and he can be overwhelmed in new settings. He adapted quickly as Renee and Chris provided him with plenty of love, exercise, play time. I also received lots of updates which put me at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them!”
“I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Shao was amazing. Teddy loved her right away and enjoyed his time with her and the other pups. Will definitely book again next time I will be out of town and can’t take my sweet Teddy boy with me.”
“Our two goldens had the BEST time with Cynthia and her family in Pacifica! She sent lots of photos, took them on lots of walks and adventures, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. Can’t imagine a better Rover experience!”
“We had excellent experience boarding our dog with Jeffrey. We had our dog stay with Jeff for almost 2 weeks over the holidays. We had an initial meet and greet before we booked the stay. Jeffery accommodated our needs, was very responsive and regularly sent us updates with pictures and videos of our dog. It was rainy many days when we were away and he offered to wash/clean our dog but asked for our permission before doing so. His place is close to the airport and we were able to leave our car parked on the street near his house while we were away without any problem which was convenient. We 100% recommend Jeffery and will use his services again in the future.”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
About: We've had dogs since I can remember and I love them more than humans. A dogs love is unconditional and I love seeing how happy they are exploring on walks and getting behind the ear and tummy scratches. I have a flexible work schedule and happy to take your pup on walks during the day! Keep us both healthier and happier throughout the day! I'll always watch them like my own (who try to eat random things sometimes) to make sure they don't get into anything unexpected to keep them in good health!
“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Mimi was very attentive to my dog. I was camping and so out of cell phone coverage, so she contacted Rover support for questions when my older dog was having difficulty. I would feel very safe having Mimi care for my pet. She did her best to give my dog options for exercise and for time outdoors. I am grateful Mimi took care of her.”
“I had such a pleasant experience with Allison & Gordon! Not only did I feel comfortable from the moment I meant them, Darla was as equally at ease. They have a great system in place for making sure your dog feels at home. Perfect size yard for your furry friends and all kinds of sunny spots my dog loved to seek out. I would highly recommend them to anyone. ”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”

Shao is one of the best dog sitters we have ever met, she has always been our top choice. She is great at communicating with us and always shared all kinds of updates relevant to our dog’s boarding with her. She always looks after the most tiny details and has always made sure our dog received the best love, care and attention 😊
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!
Brandon sends lots of great photos and frequent updates of our boy. We can tell our dog is excited to get dropped off with Brandon and that gives us a lot of confidence and peace of mind! We would definitely recommend Brandon to other owners looking for a dog sitter.
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
Kyle & Stephanie really know and understand dogs - our dog can be complicated, reactive, and slow to trust new people, but they handled him with incredible patience and confidence. It was clear they took the time to understand his personality, and because of that he was relaxed and comfortable very quickly. They also spent a lot of time and energy giving our dog great breed-specific engagement, which he absolutely loved and we could see how happy he was during his stay. Communication was also top-notch.
I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!
Thank you for taking the best care of Rocket and Ruby! We never have to worry when we know our dogs are with you. They have the best time, and we can enjoy our vacation knowing we don't have to feel guilty leaving them behind. Your frequent pictures of them sweetly snuggled up at your place or on beautiful walks always help my children when they are missing Rocket and Ruby too. Thank you for helping us again and again!
Karla was amazing with my Penny! At drop off, Penny was very nervous and it took awhile for her to warm up. Karla was very patient and understanding that Penny needed time as this was her very first boarding experience as well. Karla made sure she kept me updated and also sent me photos while I was away. I am very happy with Karla’s help with Penny and would definitely book her again the next time we are away! Thank you Karla!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Bruno on Rover is $82.14 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,820 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Bruno. 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 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.
