“Had a great experience with yu-Liang and yi-ting dog sitting our pet Bella. They were very responsive and sent lots of photos. Would definitely have them dog sit again in the future. Recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Shao Er took excellent care of our dog while we were away for almost two weeks. I can always tell our pup had a good time when she says goodbye to the person who watched her instead of just heading out. We will be back next time we need someone to care for our dog when we are away!”
“We had Katsu stay with Yvonne for two nights as a trial run for a longer stay in May. I sent her care instructions the day before and she made sure to ask clarifying questions. We don’t take Katsu to dog parks and she was very respectful of that. During his stay with her, she sent several pictures everyday. My husband and I would get so excited when new pictures came in. It was clear he had a great time! We feel comfortable having Yvonne care for him again next month .”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tara! Tara was great with our dog, Koda, during a week long stay over the holidays. She was clearly caring and responsible, and followed all of the instructions we provided. Tara was also very communicative throughout the stay and regularly shared photo updates, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love to have Koda stay with her again.”
“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!”
“Julley was very communicative and I had no doubt after meeting her and her two pups that she would be able to provide the care and concern I’d hope for while watching my fur baby. She will be the first person I think of the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“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!”
“This was our second visit and as soon as we arrived, "Chica" pulled me to their door with her tag wagging. Again, it was great getting the photo updates. Thank you Allison and Gordon for another stress free vacation! Looking forward to seeing you soon!”
“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!”
“Cynthia, Chi, and their family were amazing dog sitters! They were extremely attentive and accommodating to all of my dog’s (Summer’s) needs. They have their own goldens and were well aware of how to take care of mine very seamlessly. They also provided Summer with plenty of exercise, love, care, and attention which they were shared in several pictures and videos throughout each day. I would definitely recommend and look forward to Summer’s next stay when I travel out of town. Thank you again!”
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”

Papico had a really happy, safe and comfortable stay with Shao on her first time! Shao kept sending photos and videos, which made it feel like I was there with my dog. She also does a good job keeping to a schedule with feeding and walks. She even baked treats for my dog! I definitely leave Papico with her next time.
William did a great job watching Ziggy and Huxley for a few days! He sent me regular updates and cute videos and photos. He was also very responsive whenever I messaged him. It was really nice to be able to relax and know my dogs were being well taken care of. They also had a great time playing with William’s sweet Pomski. I would definitely rebook with William! Responsive, friendly and well versed in dog care.
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.
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.
Kitty & Joyce are an absolute lifesaver for Maddie! I usually leave her with my mom-in-law every time my husband and I go on vacation but with a back problem, I ended up searching for a reliable dog sitter. Maddie is not use to stranger but for some reason, she felt at ease with Kitty. She took excellent care of my fur baby and very grateful! Kitty sent me daily pictures of Maddie with her new furry friends while walking in the park. I highly recommend and will book again! Thanks Kitty!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - San Bruno
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.
