“I think Sunny’s reviews speak for themselves. I was nervous about leaving my buddy with someone I did not know but she agreed to do a meet and great beforehand. I have an 8 year old Boxer and he loved it. I would highly recommend”
“100% recommend booking with Kaiwen. We left our highly energetic dog, Maui, with him for the extended weekend, and she had an absolute blast! Kaiwen is super communicative and sends a ton of photos (which is very much appreciated). He is able to handle any dog’s needs, gives lots of walks and attention to your pup.”
“Gretchen did a wonderful job taking care of my Luna. She sent pictures and updates whenever I asked how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook for any future trips!”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time leaving our new dog. Al was fantastic. I went and met with him and his wife Dody ahead of time and they were really kind and clearly love dogs. They sent us texts and pictures while we were gone. Our dog Bo did great and we will definitely use Al again!”
“This is the second time we have had Sung dog-sit Maui, and each time has been amazing. He sends lots of photos, which I love, and takes care of her, as if Maui was his own dog. Maui gets super excited when we turn onto his street, knowing she’s going to have a fantastic time with Sung. My dog needs a lot of exercise, and Sung gives her all the attention she needs. I will definitely be reaching out to Sung for all my dog-sitting needs! Thanks Sung.”
“Melissa and her family are incredible!. We've always had positive experiences with all rover.com sitters but Melissa is something else entirely. She is the warmest, most down to earth, glad-hearted sitter we've ever encountered. Her and her beautiful family showed our Milo more love than he could have hoped for, kept us updated during our travels with continuous photos and updates on our golden boy, giving us incredible peace of mind. They really took care of our boy and we COULD NOT be happier with the entire experience. We are new to Newport beach but we have now found our dog sitter! Give Melissa a message when you need sitting - you will love her and know that your furry family member is in the best of hands. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Emely was wonderful with Chance! ❤️ From the very first time Chance met her, he ran right to her like he had known her forever—her positive energy was obvious from the start. She kept us updated every day with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. She was easy to communicate with, caring, and clearly loved Chance. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend Emely! 🐾”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing with my pup! They took her on so many fun adventures and kept me updated with hourly photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear she was having a great time, and she came back home happy and relaxed!”
“Magdalena and her family were so welcoming and I felt very comfortable having my dog stay with them. The updates/photos were great :) and it was nice to see they went on plenty of walks and enjoyed outside play time. I will definitely be using this amazing family for dog sitting again!!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and genuinely love caring for animals of all ages. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior dogs that required extra patience, attention, and comfort. My family trusted me enough to fly from California to Hawaii to care for my sister’s senior dogs while they were away. I’ve also cared for my neighbors’ dogs over the years, and many people trust me because I’m dependable, gentle, attentive, and communicative. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease while away, and I treat every pet like family. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I do school drop-offs/pick-ups and activities for my son, along with personal errands and wellness activities, but outside of that I have plenty of availability throughout the day and evening for walks, feedings, companionship, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet with patience, love, and care. 🐾 I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable while away from home. I pay close attention to their routines, feeding schedules, behavior, and comfort levels, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I also send regular updates and photos to owners so they can feel reassured and connected with their pets while away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to helping them feel relaxed and at ease in my home. 🐾
“We got really jammed up when the person we were expecting to watch our little pom, Bailey, over TG had a medical emergency. A friend told us about Rover. We signed up and found Liv who saved us. Liv was fast to respond, professional, caring and amazing. She took great care of our little Bailey. Which isn't easy. Bailey is a bit high strung. We could tell Bailey was well cared for. Thanks to Liv and Rover we got to see our family in San Jose. We would work with Liv again. Thanks Liv for helping us out.”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Best of the best! Did an amazing job with our doggie who is usually scared of everything and showed her a great time. Vi was really in tune with our dogs needs and feelings, and gave her plenty of walks, playtime and enrichment! She even knew what to do when our doggie had some tummy trouble. Vi really knows her stuff! Thank you so much, Vi!!!”
“Emily took great care of Bailey, was attentive to her needs, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Bailey seemed happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We really appreciate the care she gave Bailey and would definitely book with her again!”
“Jeri was great with our German Shepard mix, Chance, for his second visit! She takes excellent care of him, provides us daily updates and pictures, and gives us peace of mind when we are out of town. We cross our fingers every time we go on vacation that Jeri’s calendar is open!”

Repeat customer here !!! Shannon is great!!! She took great care of my fur baby. I can see that he feels comfortable and “at home” at her place. Shannon gives me updates with pictures of my baby often and is very responsive and flexible. She will be taking care of my baby again in a few months 👍 I highly recommend Shannon
I am sincerely grateful to Alexa and Cody for their care of my 6 month old puppy, Bambina. She’s tiny, and still a little timid so I’ve been worried about having her stay with a sitter. I knew as soon as I met Alexa and Cody that Bambina was in great hands. They are genuine, kind, and truly caring people who adore the dogs they care for.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was in town for a business event and needed someone to take care of Penny for a few days. He was incredibly responsive and respectful, took great care of her, and sent me pictures and updates every day. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. If I lived locally, I would absolutely use him again!
Kim and her partner did an amazing job keeping me and my fiance at ease while we travelled in the area for the weekend. It was our first time leaving Lemon and Nori with someone outside of friends/family. She did a great job keeping us updated with cute pictures and our dogs loved their stay. We will book again next time we travel to this area. We only hope to find someone just as great in our city.
Catherine was so sweet and responsive throughout the entire process! Her pre-screening questions were very helpful and made the boarding process seamless and easy. Most importantly, Oso immediately felt comfortable with her, which says a lot because he can be a little anxious in new environments. He was so comfortable that when I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back 😂
This was my first time using Rover. I always ask a close friend or family member to take care of my Blu if I go out of town. So to give my Blu to someone whom I just met, was a very scary thought. But Tate couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable as an owner. 10/10. The moment my dog met Tate, it was like he had known him for years. Tate has such a caring and warm spirit, and I believe my dog felt that the moment he walked through the door. Tate sent multiple pictures throughout each day, showing that Blu was in good hands. My first experience with Tate (and Rover) couldn’t have gone any better. If you’re scared/nervous about leaving your pet with a dogsitter like I was, I would highly suggest leaving them under Tate’s care. Tate is the best and he’ll be seeing Blu again.
Laura was wonderful with Oso! She had great communication throughout his stay and was so sweet and welcoming. She has such a great personality, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Oso in her care. I would definitely recommend Laura and look forward to having Oso stay with her again!
Nicolas was AMAZING! We can’t recommend him enough! We have two dogs, one of which is more reactive, and Nick did an amazing job with both, they loved their stay, and he kept us in the loop and updated with all of their adventures together! We would highly recommend Nick for all of your pup’s needs!
Abigail was AMAZING, this was one of the first times I didn’t have horrible anxiety about leaving my dog with someone. She just handled everything for me and took a huge weight off me for the weekend. He’s a big and playful boy and not a beginner dog, but Tripp was smiling and happy when I picked him up, looked better than when I left him as she was great with his medicine. Zero complaints, I would absolutely book with her again. THANK YOU ♡

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Huntington Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Huntington Beach is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $78 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,169 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Huntington 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.
94% of sitters in Huntington 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 Huntington Beach 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 Huntington 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 Huntington 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 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.
