Dog Boarding in Half Moon Bay

Ivan was honestly the best dog sitter we could have hoped for. We just got our puppy a month ago and wasn’t too sure how he would be at a sitters yet. But as soon as we met Ivan we could tell our puppy was in good hands and with someone who genuinely loved dogs. He sent us so many updates through our trip and our puppy fell in love with him. I highly recommend Ivan and we will be sticking with him for all our future travels.

Words can’t express how incredible Sandra and Jose were with Gizmo. I picked him up yesterday, and he honestly seemed a little sad that his mini-vacation with them had come to an end! 🫣 From our very first meet-and-greet through pickup, they were warm, welcoming, and transparent about their experience caring for dogs. They made me feel that Gizmo was genuinely loved and wanted, not simply being looked after as a responsibility. They went above and beyond in caring for him, asking if they could make him homemade organic sweet potatoes and even preparing him rice water when they saw he had an upset stomach. Their kindness and affection for Gizmo was evident in every update, message, and interaction I had with them. I found myself genuinely looking forward to their updates, whether it was a video of Jose earning his first kisses, or a picture of Sandra spending her mornings enjoying a coffee while playing fetch. It was clear that Gizmo was not only well cared for but truly loved. I feel so lucky to have found Sandra and Jose, and I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future. Thank you so much!

They are such a loving family and treated my dog so well. He got so much attention and love and it made our time away worry free. Thank you.

James did a great job watching Maggie! He was easy to communicate with, flexible and sent daily updates. Maggie came home tired (in the best way) and happy. We will absolutely have James watch her again, if available.

Vito had a great time with Mario! Since he works from home, they would go on long walks together and mario would always send picture updates. Four thumbs up!

Comet had the best time with Cynthia. He came home happy and hardly wanted to leave! Cynthia was super communicative and sent us lots of photos/videos. She took great care of him. Comet can’t wait to see her again soon!

We boarded our dog Finn with Yu-Liang & Yi-Ting C. for 5 days and had a fantastic experience! From the start, Finn was excited to meet them, and it was clear they connected right away. During the stay, they made sure he got plenty of exercise and great walks every day—he came home happy, healthy, and tired in the best way! They were also very responsive to my requests and even figured out how to charge Finn's Fi collar, which I really appreciated. Communication was fast and clear the entire time, and we loved getting picture updates of Finn throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend! We’d definitely book with them again.

Thanking our lucky stars that we found Katie and Jason on Rover. They are genuinely wonderful people. Their care and love for our senior dog, Abby, is exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy our trip. We loved getting the multiple times a day updates on Abby. Katie is observant and kept Abby super comfortable and happy while we were away. Thank you, Jason and Katie!!! ❤️

Micaela is such a fantastic sitter! We got photos every day and Comet just looked so happy. He seemed so at home at Micaela’s. She is very responsive and always quick to answer any questions. Such a great experience!

Thiago was an incredible Rover choice! He was responsive, flexible and kept me updated every day with pictures and blurbs about Dexter. His house is set up great for watching dogs. Dexter came back home happy, healthy, and tired from his stay with Thiago. 10/10 would recommend and I will be booking with Thiago again!

Ellen is awesome! She is super easy to work with , very friendly and has an adorable dog Markie that my dog Cora thoroughly enjoyed. Cora was super excited to get to Ellen’s house and was pulling on the leash to come back the moment she got near Ellen’s home. It’s evident Ellen is loving and playful with the dogs and she sent hilarious updates. Would not hesitate to leave Cora with Ellen again!

Deborah was super friendly to me and my two cats. She agreed to FaceTime me before I booked so I can see how comfortable I was with her and to see her home. We discussed moving plants so the cats wouldn’t get sick and she was very patient and kind as I gave feeding directions and so on. She was also very patient, as my cats are quite energetic. I recommend Deborah for boarding!

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

Roscoe and Rocket had a great meet and greet with Kitty and wagged like crazy when they saw her again for their overnight stay. They loved their walks with her and Rocket evidently became devoted to Man Har. I appreciate that Kitty followed all the requests I had given. We look forward to a return stay

I love Ivana everyday updates me for how my puppy milky doing and Ivana has a dog Rocco and I am so appreciate the opportunity to let milky make friend and improve his social skills! Definitely will come back for ask for help for my Aug trip!

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.

Zhenting and her husband were great! They have a collie so I felt they would take good care of our goldendoodle since collies are so high energy and he looked well cared for and loved. She sent photos and videos throughout the stay and took the dogs on multiple walks a day… our dog came home happy! We will definitely be using Zhenting again!
