“Danielle and Austin took Rocco in last minute and saved my day. He had the best time: they took him on a walk, played fetch, and spoiled him as if he were their own. If it wasnt because of them, i wouldnt have been able to succesfully complete a project i had due that day. Cheers to the McKeevers!”
About: I love caring for animals and strive to make them as comfortable with me in the home as you are with me being there! I hope to provide exceptional care to both you and your beloved animals. I am cosmetologist working part time, with this schedule I have plenty of free time and can be sure to care for your pet on a regular basis. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible and the only way to do so is making sure all of the house rules are followed.
“Kimberly was wonderful. It was our first time having her watch Jameson. Very quick reply to our sort of last minute request and took good care of our pup. He left happy and got along with the dog ther pups! 😁 thanks again Kimberly!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs, and I have experience administering prescription medications to both dogs and cats. I am currently a part-time remote student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! This allows me to easily accommodate pet care needs throughout the day, whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications. I’m able to provide consistent companionship and care, especially for pets who need a little extra attention or have specific routines. I’m also available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique schedule. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. In Your Home: I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and of course, lots of attention and affection! I also make sure your home stays tidy and your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar environment. In My Home (if applicable): My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for. I keep a clean, safe environment and follow your instructions closely when it comes to food, exercise, crate time, or special needs. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure each one gets plenty of one-on-one time and care. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
“Rachel took great care of Lance on short notice and was very accommodating to our schedule. We were provided several updates with pictures throughout the day and it was clear Lance was in great care. We’re lucky to have found Rachel and will certainly book her in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Megan, and I recently moved to the San Diego area from New Hampshire. Before moving here, I spent several years in Hawaii, where I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Finance. I come from a big family and have always been surrounded by animals, caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I work remotely on East Coast hours (5 AM–2 PM), which gives me great flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. Because I work from home, I can provide plenty of supervision and attention to help pets feel comfortable and cared for. I'm dependable, responsible, and caring, and I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, pet sitting, or house sitting, I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you're away. I work full-time remotely Monday through Friday on East Coast hours (5 AM–2 PM PST), which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I am available for house sitting and pet sitting during the week and on weekends, provided there is reliable WiFi access for my work computer. Because I work from home, I can provide a high level of supervision and ensure your pets receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet or FaceTime call before booking to answer any questions and discuss your pet’s specific routine and needs. I do not have any pets or children of my own at home, so your pet will get my full attention in a safe, welcoming environment. I’m excited to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away!
About: I have been caring for pets since childhood, currently with several regular clients, looking after several cats and walking a dog.

Let me make you a custom stamped doggy tag! 😃 I am a self-employed entrepreneur residing in the beautiful South Oceanside area, and I am excited to offer my services for daily drop-in visits or leisurely dog walks to accommodate your pet care needs! I have a fenced in back patio, walking distance to the water in South Oceanside. I am happy to drop in at your residence and I’m open to chatting about the best possibilities for your pets care!
“I left my dog Russ with Lynn for one afternoon and she took great care of him. He’s not used to staying away from me and Lynn was very helpful by keeping him calm and giving me updates while I was away. I’d leave my dog at Lynn’s place again and I’d recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to very large dogs. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and will treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and check-ins based on your pet’s usual routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and household routines. I keep pets supervised, comfortable, and secure, and I take time to learn their personality and needs. I also have experience with both small and very large dogs.

Working with dogs and animals is my passion so your fur baby will be in great hands! Pet care fits into my daily routine since I have my own dog to take care of.

About: I've been working with pets for 5 years, and I have plenty of free time to take them to beaches and parks, making sure they have fun. My love for pets runs deep, and they are an essential part of my life. I work from home. I'm available every day of the week, including weekends and holidays, ensuring I'm always there for the cats and dogs . I have an open-air, gated balcony that’s spacious enough to comfortably accommodate one or two pets at most. The balcony is lined with artificial grass, and your pet is welcome inside the house as well. Pets can sleep indoors or on the balcony with a safety railing. We also have AC available if your pet needs it.

About: For the past 7 years, I've been the primary caregiver for my own dog, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and recognizing changes in behavior and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I'll care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I work from home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the attention and care they need while keeping them on their normal routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have a clean, comfortable home with a fully fenced, relatively small yard that's great for potty breaks and supervised outdoor time. I also have a friendly 7-year-old Labrador/Chihuahua mix who weighs about 32 pounds and enjoys having canine companions. Pets in my care will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks, and because I work from home, they won't be left alone for long periods.

As a dog owner and a parent, you know when your baby is in good hands and that’s exactly how I felt leaving Luna with Jacqueline. She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly felt at ease knowing Luna was being cared for and loved. I’m so thankful we found Jacqueline. She was the perfect sitter for Luna, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend!
Malia was awesome with my dachshund Penny! Penny has a huge personality for such a tiny dog and can be a little dramatic sometimes, but she loved Malia right away which honestly never happens. I could tell Penny was getting lots of attention and love the whole time and Malia kept me updated so I didn’t have to worry at all. When I got back Penny was happy, relaxed, and acting like she had her own little vacation. I would definitely trust Malia to watch Penny again and I know Penny will be excited to see her again!
Carie took really great care of Wee. She has a fenced yard with grass which is really lovely. I like that she has her own little pup and also does doggy day care so Wee can socialize a little more. Carie was really flexible with my pick up schedule (my flight was incredibly delayed) and she made my life easier by being so amenable. Carie is a great sitter and I will certainly be back!
We’re so happy to have found Colby! We are from out of town and we’re looking for reliable care for our puppy and after coming up short with local boarding options, we found Colby. There is always concern when you leave your pet with a stranger but immediately upon meeting Colby, we were confident in our choice. He is friendly, communicative and has a great place for hosting your dog. As excited as our puppy was to see us when picking up, we could tell our puppy didn’t want to leave. Look no further than Colby, he’s a reliable choice that provides awesome care. Thank you, Colby!
Sara did an amazing job with my little guy☺️. She provided me with detailed information about his day, which I greatly appreciate. She was super sweet and I can tell that she really enjoyed caring for animals. I really am thankful that she was available to assist me. My little guy really enjoyed his day that after his day with Sara…he came home and went to sleep. He slept all night 🙂↔️. I highly recommend Sara. Your animal will have a great time. Thanks again for your help.
Lisa is fantastic with my two small dogs. One of them is nervous but felt right at home with Lisa and her dog. They became a pack instantly. Lisa sends pictures during the day so you can rest assured your furry family members are safe and sound. I will be relying on Lisa to care for my girls often. Thanks so much for keeping them safe and happy!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Oceanside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oceanside on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,579 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Oceanside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Oceanside commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,579 sitters in Oceanside, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
