“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”
“We are deeply grateful to Renee and Chris for taking such excellent care of our dog. They were attentive, reliable, and communicative, keeping us well-informed with regular pictures and videos.”
“My dog, Skittles, was saved by Kazu &Yuko. Originally, We sent Skittles to one of the sitter who we found in Mission Bay. After one night, that sitter messaged me saying that my dog was too anxious, barked and peed on their carpet. They mentioned they basically need me to look for another sitter. We had never have issues using Rover until that day. Long story short I was having anxiety since I wasn’t in town. Kazu & Yuko took over the responsibility. They drove to Mission Bay to pick up Skittles from the original sitter almost right away. Knowing I was anxious, they messaged me 3-4x/day with photos and videos of my dog getting spoiled!!! I love this couple so much!!! They gave Skittles such great care and both of them are so sweet not just to my pet but also to me. Thank you to both again !!!”
“William and Yuwei were the best hosts to my Thor! The daily photos and video was great and I could tell he was so well taken care, that his medication was given and he made a new friend! We are looking forward to booking with them again, just outstanding care and so appreciated!”
“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.”
“Yining took incredible care of my dog Milo over an 8 day stay. I received a lot of updates, and I had full confidence that Milo was very happy having his own vacation! He and Electra (Yining’s pup) became fast friends and played a ton. Milo also had extra fancy meals and enrichment activities the entire time! I can’t wait to book Yining again.”
“Better than great, the care my dog received with Julian was EXCEPTIONAL! Above & beyond the typical boarding experience, my dog Leroy wasn’t simply a guest in Julian’s home, he was PART OF THE FAMILY! I received plenty of photos and videos showing Leroy running, wrestling & playing tug with their super-cute sheepdog, Gaitana. Julian also sent photos of Leroy cuddled-up in bed, tangled-up with the family & their dogs. Those photos erased every morsel of anxiety that accompanied leaving my fur baby in the care of a relative stranger. And then, a final clincher…. When I picked-up Leroy from his 6-night stay, Julian said “My wife is going to be so disappointed! She was hoping she’d get home in time to say goodbye to Leroy.” How sweet is that?!?!?”
“Luke was awesome. My pup Casper loved him immediately, like he was an old friend. And I could tell that he really cared about dogs. He sent lots of photos of Casper and his own dogs on long walks or playing together, which gave me huge peace of mind that my dog was in good hands. I’d recommend Luke to anyone, and would happily return for pet sitting. I’m sure Casper would love another pet weekend getaway too.”
“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.”
“David took excellent care of our dog Oscar. He provided regular updates with photos at appropriate intervals. This was a long stay of 2 weeks and I appreciate how easy David made the trip for us and for Oscar. We look forward to working with David again in the future. Thank you David.”
“Rosanne was really wonderful! She helped me out last minute and my doggy immediately loved her. Very communicative about everything. She took him on long walks too to tire him out. Thanks again!!”
“Vanda provided amazing care for our dog Poe. Vanda took time to get to know Poe’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure Poe felt loved and cared for. Vanda sent lots of photos so we always knew that Poe was enjoying her stay. Will definitely contact Vanda again the next time Poe needs a vacation :)”
“Julia is lovely and trustworthy, and has a lovely family who provided a happy home for our baby boy while I was traveling. She provided regular photos and updates, and was good about following care instructions. I would love to continue to have her take care of my Frenchie.”
About: Virtually 24/7 availability! I work from home and can provide care and attention for almost all day long. I have had dogs for about 20 years as well as lots of foster/rescue experience. I work from home so I can care for your pet as needed! Your dog can have run of the house - I allow dogs on furniture and even let them sleep in our bed if that's what they are used to. I have a fenced backyard and a small, friendly, neutered Pomeranian mix to keep your dog company! I am in a single adult home with no children.
“This was Kale’s first time boarding with someone outside of our family, and he absolutely loved his 10 night stay with Jade and her sweet family. From the very beginning, Jade was incredibly communicative, keeping us informed every step of the way. Before Kale's stay, she thoroughly asked questions to ensure she understood everything needed to take care of him, from his daily routine to his specific preferences and any special needs. She consistently provided photo updates, along with detailed messages about Kale’s day-to-day activities, which really helped us feel connected and reassured while we were apart. Jade has a very keen eye and is incredibly observant when it comes to how dogs are feeling. She knows exactly how to ensure that the dogs in her care feel loved and happy, which was evident in how content Kale was during his stay. When we came to pick him up, Kale didn’t want to leave and clearly wanted to stay longer! I would highly recommend Jade to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“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!”

Jeffrey dog-sat our dog Dubby for the weekend and Dubby had a wonderful time. We appreciated the initial meet and greet to get to know Jeffrey (and Barney). Jeffrey provided many photos and videos and communicated everything that was going on very clearly. Thank you and we hope to book again!
Shao is a wonderful dog sitter who loves the silly antics of all the dogs she watches. She sends tons of pictures, videos and updates as well as spoils the dogs nonstop with extra chews and treats. I have a great peace of mind that my dog is enjoying her mini vacation whenever she's with Shao.
Catherine and her husband were amazing with Bentley! I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave him over the weekend. Catherine kept me updated with photos, which I always appreciate! It means so much knowing Bentley is happy and being so well taken care of while I’m away. I’m so thankful to have found such wonderful people to care for Bentley and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much! 🫶🏼
Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter again!
We had a great experience with Yijiu! She was super responsive, kind, and very attentive to Leo. It was clear that she took great care of him, and Leo had such a fun time playing with her family. She was also very detail-oriented and kept us updated throughout his stay. We would definitely book with her again!
Rosanne has shown exceptional care from the first day we dropped her off until the last day we had picked her up. She communicated with us with text and photos throughout each day on her adjustment, feeding, walking and behavior to a new environment. Rosanne was knowledgeable in finding ways to feed Zoe when she wasn’t eating or drinking. Rosanne followed our schedule and made adjustments when needed. She had open communication with us regarding Zoe’s day. Zoe’s daily care and comfort from morning until evening was Rosanne’s top priority! I would rate Rosanne a 5 plus with another care opportunity!
Winnie and boba were so welcoming to Mercy and took great care of her even though she can be very shy and aloof at first. They made her feel comfortable and she clearly had a great time. Thank you Frankie also for loving on her and playing with her! Winnie had great communication and sent me photos and videos daily and took Mercy on a lot of hikes and walks. I can’t recommend them enough ☺️!
Christine took great care of our german shepherd for a week while we were away on vacation. She is one of the best boarders we’ve worked with on Rover and we highly recommend her! Christine sent us photos and a short description of what they did every day - whether it was a walk, playing ball in the backyard, or others. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dog was active and well cared for. Our german shepherd is pretty energetic and it seemed that she had a blast with Christine's family and her dog, Obi. Thank you again, Christine!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 San Bruno 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Bruno. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
