“Jennifer & Julie took excellent care of Zoey. She had a great time at their place, so much so that she didn’t seem that excited to see us! They updated us regularly on how she was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Zoey will be visiting again soon.”

“Stephanie is outstanding in caring for my dogs. They go for walks, car rides and are loved and cared for. In fact the dogs (which had not seen Stephanie in months) ran up to the house when we delivered them. We are overwhelmingly pleased with her services.”
“Sarah is a Fantastic sitter! Great communication, kind, friendly, helpful, professional, and intuitive to our dogs/our needs. We couldn't be happier with her care and service... will book again!”
About: I’ve dog walked in Slo since spring this year! I’ve also had experience working at a grooming shop back home with both big and small dogs. I also have four cats back home and have grown up taking care of them! I’m currently a Cal Poly third year! My schedule is very flexible outside of Tuesday/Thursday afternoons/evenings, and I have open availability Friday-Sunday. I’m more than happy to work with your schedule! I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats. My home here in Slo does not have any pets so your pet would be comfortable, safe, and well loved! And my roommates would love to play with your dogs too if they like people!
About: I would always help my sister take care of dogs when she was animal sitting on rover. I currently am babysitting and working for Respite so I have experience in childcare. I love animals and would love to make some extra money as a college student. I am currently attending Cuesta College twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im free after 3 o’clock when my classes are over. Every other day of the week I am free all day. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and welcome in my home. Im very clean, and if sitting at your house I will be respectful of the space.
“Kambry took amazing care of my mini dachshund while I was out of town! She sent tons of photos and videos, and even took her to the beach 🥰 She came home so happy and “good tired” from playing with her Aussie Keiko. 10/10 recommend utilizing her for your pets needs.”
“Shadow thoroughly enjoyed her time with Nicole! Nicole was able to provide dog boarding on short notice and made sure Shadow had lots of fun. I would book Nicole again. Highly recommend!”
“Andy was so very sweet! Our little Oso is very shy and timid, plus a little scared of people, seems he felt very comfortable at Andy's house. We received updates with pictures and felt very at-ease knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely recommend and re-hire him! Thank you!!!”
“5 Stars for Tatum. I could tell that our pup Stompy was in good hands because his tail was wagging furiously when first meeting Tatum and her partner. We were sent some fun photos of Stompy playing and relaxing at a local Dog Beach and learned that he was comfortable enough to get into the water which is a first for our dog who has always had a water phobia. We returned to find a very happy dog. I highly recommend Tatum. She is a dog whisperer!”
About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Patty took better care of my dog than I. She constantly played with him (swimming, running, exploring) and trained him to tolerate her cat without chase. I received multiple photos and Patty replied whenever asked. I was concerned as always with a new person, and now she is my #1 go-to for dog care.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Grover Beach is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grover Beach
💯 recommend Heidi! I don’t live in the area and needed a last second overnight for a celebration of life. My deaf Aussie is a rockstar but not without his challenges in which I worry more about a sitter not prepared for a fluffy, boss that’s out of his routine and tactically savvy at food and ball manipulation. Not only were Heidi and family fantastic at communicating, they were flexible and accommodating from the start. I’ve not yet had a bad experience with a sitter but Heidi and family went above and beyond…apparently there’s going to be a song about this fluffy butt. Highly recommended in the Arroyo Grande/Pismo area.
Matt and his pup Dewey were great! This was Oakley’s first boarding experience and Matt made sure to make her feel at home and us feel at ease leaving her. It’s clear he’s a great pet Dad! Oakley had so much fun being able to run around the yard and play with Dewey. We’d definitely use Matt in the future.
I had a wonderful experience with Alexandria! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was responsible, communicative, and genuinely cared about making my girl comfortable and happy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter — I’d happily book with her again!
Paul was awesome! Highly recommend! Huey is a blue heeler and we worry about him causing chaos when he stays with people, but after meeting Paul I felt comfortable with his ability to “handle” the chaos of a heeler. Huey led Paul into the house and didn’t look back to say bye so I know he felt comfortable there as well. We got updates and pictures throughout his stay which was great. When we’re back in the area, we will definitely book with Paul again. Thanks Paul!
Sunny was treated like an extension of Alicia’s family and was so well-loved while we were away. It was so reassuring knowing he was in a loving home and it was like he had his own vacation while we were away. Great family and perfect yard for a dog - highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Grover Beach is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 206 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Grover Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Grover Beach 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 Grover Beach home-away-from-home, 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 Grover Beach.
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 Grover Beach 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 , 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 .
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.
