“Alexis is great! She watched our little old lady chihuahua, Emma, while we were out of the country. I don’t normally take long trips so I was a little nervous, but Alexis helped me feel very comfortable. Emma had lots of attention, treats, and sunshine!”


About: I had a dog who I cared and deeply loved for 6 years, she unfortunately passed away due to medical issues. I moved here to Seaside about 4 months ago due to my husband being in the military and have already watched over several dogs ranging from small to large sizes. I met a good friend whose dog has anxiety, so I have learned how to handle/comfort dogs who are going through the same thing. I hope to connect with your pet and give them the best care possible! I am a stay at home mom to a one year old boy who adores animals and loves walks. I get up pretty early in the morning and use some of that time to let them out to potty, provide their breakfast, and go on a little walk! I have a playground and dog park right by my home where they can roam around and have some fun:) I do not have pets of my own. I do have a one year old boy. If your dog has shown aggression towards little kids even in the past, it will not be a good fit to have them here with me. I have a fenced backyard. If you require your pet to be in a crate for any reason or at a certain time (it usually has only been when I’m out for errands or during bed time) I would of course just need to know ahead of time:) I’d really want the area safe for everyone including your own pet:) We can always work around what you want/prefer when I am caring for them!

About: For boarding pets successfully I bring organization and attention to detail to the table. I work with all ages, breeds and sizes of dogs, and all types of pets. I will follow your detailed feeding & medication instructions to the letter! I have many years of experience successfully caring for pets. Your pet will play with their own fav toys & have unlimited potty breaks in fenced yard, as well as get treats along the way. ***Best times for drop-off/pick up & meet-and-greet: anytime after 4:30pm Mon-Fri, and anytime Sat/Sun*** You are encouraged to send your dog’s fav blanket, dog-bed, crate or whatever will help your pet feel comfortable. There is plenty of room here to set up even an XXl crate or dog bed. Or, your dog can sleep on the couch! Either way they will be comfortable. In winter - electric blanket available on low setting. Yard: Solid 6-ft fence = totally secure, fully fenced yard. House: doggy door leading to fenced back yard is available. Totally fenced dog-run on site for fetch, evening zoomies. Screened front door provides extra barrier to outside.
“Mary is a gem! She was incredibly attentive and responsive. I appreciated the regular updates and was very satisfied with the care she provided for my dog. She was also very flexible and accommodated travel delays and schedule changes. I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely book her again! I could not have asked for a better experience!”


About: I am an experienced animal caretaker for pets with a wide range of needs. I had my own cat that later in life needed subcutaneous fluids, pills, and shots so I am experienced with the trickery of loving care while an animal is in a difficult situation. I have had my own high energy dog who needed a high level of engagement for the first six years of her life while also training through leash reactivity and fear behaviors. With clients I take care to listen to what will make the pet happy and the human(s) happy. My goal is that the guardian will rest assured when your pet is in my care. I am freelancing so I can offer a flexible schedule for your pet care needs. My own dog gets and early morning walk then an afternoon as adventure. She's happy to be flexible for my gigs and open to sharing if that's an option for you once I know your dog well. I have a number of local spots where I enjoy visiting. This area is rich with places to sniff and explore and I look forward to doing so with your pet! I have the option of a crate and personal room for your pet to stay with all the amenities for fun safe pet time
“Nicole was amazing! Our dog (Loki) was happy and tail wagging when we came to pick him up. Pics and great communication throughout the visit. Loki can’t wait to hang out with his new friend again!”


“Katelyn was great with our critters (senior dog & cat). She was very prompt, quick to respond to messages, and I loved the daily pictures. My pets often are a bit lethargic after staying in boarding facilities from the stress & excitement, but they were happy, healthy, and alert after their long weekend at Katie's home. We will definitely book care with her again.”

“Christina was great! Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for for the two weeks we were gone. We got daily updates, where we could see that our dogs were relaxed, and thriving under Christina’s care with daily walks and playtime. We would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a pet sitter and would use her in the future.”

“Our pet had a fantastic experience with Molly and her family. Molly and her family were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Molly was extremely supportive, accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend Molly, and we will return our pet to Molly again in the future.”

“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”

“Yessina and Sophie and their 3 children were the perfect introduction for my 6 month old puppy, Pixie, to experience her 1st dog sitters! They were very kind and gentle with her and her shyness didn’t faze them. Buster my 8 year old terrier who is cautious around strangers, but a real gentleman, picked his spots to lay down and wait patiently and was calm when I arrived. Even though both dogs refused to eat while they were there for the day, I was very happy with the care given by this family. They really listened to me and followed my suggestions! I’m planning on returning and rebooking with them!”

“Danae was a great sitter! I reached out to her last minute to take care of Wally and she responded quickly and positively. She spoiled Wally for the night she had him and Wally enjoyed his time with her and her dogs. Danae also sent lots of photos which I love. So happy I was able to find her. :)”

“Isabel is THE best! We honestly felt like we left Nala at a luxury resort for the weekend! Isabel communicates so well, goes above and beyond, and sent the sweetest pictures along the way. She took Nala on fun outings, and we were able to completely relax knowing she was being so loved and cared for. We couldn’t recommend Isabel more!”

“Riley was great! They sent a lot of updates and photos during my pet’s stay, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pet was well cared for, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Communication was easy the whole time, and Riley was very responsive to messages. I’d definitely trust them to watch my pet again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide reliable, attentive, and loving pet care.

I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own I’m also happy to accommodate special routines or needs.

I’m fully available on Sundays and Mondays and can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I maintain a safe and structured environment by following each pet’s routine carefully and keeping spaces clean and secure. I ensure pets are always supervised and comfortable, whether in my home or yours. I’m attentive, reliable, and provide consistent updates for peace of mind
“Sarah was attentive and sweet. I happen to have a pup who does really well off leash and loves running; they catered to that aspect allowing my dog to run often as well as explore to different locations they went to throughout the stay. I received pictures and videos and, to be completely honest, am trying to plan another vacation soon because pup enjoyed their time so much with Sarah. Thank you. I'm grateful to know there is now a person who I will be a 'regular' with.”

“Angelina was an Angel and a life saver. I booked last minute and she responded immediately. Angelina was pleasant and very sweet. When meeting Onyx and Blue she asked all the right questions in order to provide the best care for my fur babies. Angelina sent pictures and kept me updated on all my babies activities. If you want your fur baby to be in a nurturing, safe, and fun home, Angelina is the caregiver for you.”


About: Serving Aromas and surrounding area. As a lifelong animal lover with more than 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, horses, emus, chickens, and even a feral cat colony, I understand that every animal deserves patience, compassion, and individualized care. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment where your dog or cat can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. Located on three beautiful acres in Aromas, California, my property offers a peaceful park-like setting with plenty of room to explore safely. Safety is my highest priority, and dogs are never left unattended outdoors. Every guest receives attentive supervision, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's stay may include walks, nature hikes, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and, for suitable dogs, adventures to local beaches and trails. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to relax, I tailor care to their individual personality and needs. Inside, dogs and cats enjoy a spacious 2,800-square-foot home where they are welcomed as members of the family. They can lounge on comfortable furniture, sleep on the bed if permitted by their owners, or rest in their own crate if that is their normal routine. I share my home with my gentle 11-year-old pit bull, who gets along well with dogs, cats, and the farm animals on the property. Because I value safety and positive experiences for every guest, I carefully evaluate compatibility and strive to create a calm, stress-free environment. When your dog or cat stays with me, they're not staying in a kennel—they're joining a home filled with love, experience, and genuine respect for animals. My goal is for both you and your dog to enjoy complete peace of mind, knowing your family member is safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat. I also do ranch visits and have experience caring for goats, sheep, horses, chickens, and pigs. I'm semi-retired and take advantage of our beautiful central coast daily, either walking, hiking, or playing on the beach. We start our day in the morning with a nice sniff, play, or zoomie time on the property. After breakfast we'll do a walk on the beach, a hike (depending on your pet) or playtime on the property. My dog is getting older so he's usually good for about 3 miles and can't really do strenuous hikes. He loves the beach so we also take a late morning beach walk. Aromas also has a lovely dog park now, so if your pup is social that's a fun place to go. For more athletic dogs, there are some incredible hiking trails in this area. Afternoon chores start normally around 5, when I walk the property and feed and check on my goats and emus. This is more play time for your fur baby, as we watch the sunset and settle in for the night. Where does your pet sleep? They are welcome on the furniture or my bed. I also have extra dog beds for those pets who like their space. I have a completely fenced yard with plenty of space to roam. With the exception of a couple of 2-3 hour windows 2 to 3 days per week, your pet is never alone. I do have stairs so if your pet needs help going up and down, I will block the stairs so there are no accidents.
“Madison was really wonderful! We loved that Luna had a playmate and plenty of space to play. Madison was very kind. She picked up Luna and when we came to pick her up, she seemed very happy.”

Alexis was awesome. She took good care of my 2 large dogs. Very attentive. Wanted to know any traits the dogs had that would make their stay more comfortable. Provided regular updates to reduce the anxiety of the owner’s separation. I highly recommend Alexis and would happily use her services again. Thank you.
Asja is amazing! My girl Kona had not been boarded or in the care of anyone but her dad and I. Asja’s calm, and relaxed demeanor makes Kona feel safe and cared for. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have met this wonderful woman. I highly recommend her services for your dog care needs.

My dog had a GREAT time with Jocelynne! She handled my last minute boarding request really well and set up a prompt meet and greet. Jocelynne sent photos over the stay and even sent my dog home with a toy she liked to play with at their house. Highly recommend, I would definitely book again!

Jill was a great dog sitter!!! Her and her husband spoiled our Great Dane! . I love that they live next to the dog park! I know that is a huge plus for our dog. Jill was extremely responsive with great details of what was going on. I appreciated her fast responses, her positivity and the pictures! She really made us feel comfortable leaving him there. We are grateful she is happy to welcome Beau back. Not everyone can handle a 165# Great Dane in there space. As Jill and her husband saw, Beau gives no personal space, he just wants attention and love the whole time, and the way their daily life is set up I looks like Beau got exactly what he wanted. Loves of love, lots of social /play time with the dogs at the dog park, lots of attention when back at the house and plenty of opportunities to sleep, exactly how a Great Dane likes it!

I do not exaggerate when I say that I love love loved Jayla and her services! She was so attentive, caring, communicative (always sent pics & messages) and understanding. I am constantly moving and finding a new person to leave my babies Rocco and Benjii with is so difficult. I’ve tried multiple people from my area, however, NONE compares to her. She understands how my Benjii is a bit socially awkward and prefers his space but my Rocco is just crazy and wants to love everyone and everything. She respected both their boundaries and needs. I will leave my most precious treasures with her again in a heartbeat!! Thank you again Jayla for everything, I really appreciate the love and care you gave them! 🫶🏼🥺

Helen took the best care of my boy, Enzo! She walks him often, takes him on fun adventures, and always keeps me updated. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring she is with him. I would 100% recommend Helen! Enzo absolutely loves her, and that means the world to me. I can’t thank Helen enough for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐾

Ida and Andrew are amazing pet sitting gods, and we are so grateful for their loving care. Ida knew just what to do and how to handle Rocco‘s needs and disposition. she took our nervous apprehensive young dog, and turned him in to a calm contented pup for the duration of his stay. She sent us pictures every day of Rocco‘s activities and he just seemed so happy

Bridget took amazing care of Beau after her surgery. She was incredibly attentive, managing the cone, watching her leg, giving her the right food, and keeping us updated the whole time. Beau was comfortable, happy, and clearly loved being with her. We’re so grateful for the extra care and patience. Highly recommend Bridget to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter! 💛🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Marina is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 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 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 530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Marina. 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 Marina 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 Marina 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 Marina.
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 Marina 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.
