“It has taken me over a week to be able to write this review & express my gratitude for Denise. She watched my senior dog & the unimaginable happened. She was with coco during her last hours & cared for her like she was her own. I would have never left had I thought this would happen, but I am so thankful that Coco enjoyed her last days with Denise & her daughter. I feel so guilty & horrible that her family had to endure this & yet she did her best to comfort me. There are no words to express how grateful I am for Denise & her compassion.”
“Brenda was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She constantly kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which meant so much and really helped me relax while I was away. It was so clear that my dog was being well cared for. Brenda was always taking her on walks and spending time playing with her. When I picked her up, of course my baby missed me, but I could truly tell she had formed such a loving bond with Brenda. It was obvious that my dog adored her, and that Brenda genuinely loved her right back. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Brenda exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and loving sitter!”
“I was very impressed with Jinay's responsiveness and attentiveness. She understood that I didn't want to constantly ask for updates about my baby because I was on vacation but wanted the peace of mind that she was ok, so she reassured me every day with voluntary quick message updates and even pictures. My sweet girl has a disability, and Jinay gave me peace of mind during our separation. Jinay was so sweet and caring, even hand-feeding my girl when she struggled to eat. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my baby was well taken care of. I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional care.”
“She was wonderful with my cat and kept me updated with great communication throughout his stay. I really appreciated the pictures she sent and how well she cared for him — I would definitely recommend her.”
“I'm neurotic with my dogs. I don't trust many to take care of them in my absence. But I can say I had none of this with Gabby. She was on top of my concerns and kept me in the loop the whole time. She definitely has top tier experience with dogs and "gets" them. Will rebook again 100%.”
“I always trust that my dog will be safe and happy when he goes to Kerri’s. She is great with him but also super responsive with me. Always love seeing photos of my dog having a great time while I am away. Thanks Kerri!”
“We very recently adopted a pointer who has some separation anxiety issues. We also have the same issues (lol) so leaving him with a sitter for the first time was very stressful. Christine was great! I felt very comfortable leaving him. She is a professional who seems to manage all the pups in her care with ease. She sent pictures and gave us updates on how he was doing. We will definitely use Christine again!”
“Sara was absolutely wonderful with Indy! I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and her family, and it was obvious from all the photos and updates that he was having the best time. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay, which I really appreciated, and Indy looked so happy and comfortable with everyone. He came home happy and tired from such a fun weekend! I would absolutely trust Sara with him again and will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Dyana was absolutely amazing!!!! She made me feel so at ease watching my dog! Sent me constant updates and my dog absolutely adored her!!! Will 100% be rebooking her again & can’t recommend her enough!! Thank you guys so much!!!”
“I had Alissa for the first time,we are really happy with her.she is very responsible,updates everyday with pictures,friendly.overall I was very happy with Alissa.she took care of my Beulah very well.she will be always my first person to go with from now on. Thank you so much Alissa 💓”
“I am so glad to have found Xiaoying. She is excellent, experienced and knowledgeable. My dog was well cared for during his 6 day stay. We were updated daily with pics and videos of meal times, backyard activity and daily walking. She sure did treat my dog as her own and made her home, home for my Teddy. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much! 🩵🫶🏼”
“Tammy made us feel comfortable with leaving our fur baby with her for several days. She's a true professional that obviously loves dogs! She often sent us pictures of our 7 year old morkie, allowing us to relax on our time out of state. Fantastic and highly recommend.”
“I cant thank Melissa and Matt enough for taking such amazing care of our pup while we went away on a 5 day trip. Melissa sent numerous pics throughout his stay and we were so happy with the care, love, fun, and attention he received. Pretty sure he didn’t want to even come home!! Lol.. If we ever take another trip in the near future, we will definitely be contacting them again!! :)”
“Jamie was a great host. She sent us pictures several times during the day and was always responsive when we asked how our baby was. We would highly recommend her and plan on using her all the time.”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She watched our dog Phoebe for 5 days and took such great care of her! Katelyn was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures, Phoebe was very well taken care of and came home tired and happy. We will definitely be reaching out to Katelyn for all future trips — thank you so much for everything!!”
“This is our second time staying with Lenny and she and her husband are fantastic! Our first stay was just a single night to make sure that Zoey was comfortable which was a great success. Lenny always sends updates a couple of times per day as well as pictures showing the dogs playing (Even in the sprinklers which Zoey absolutely loves). The days that Zoey stayed there it rained a couple of days, however Lenny still let the dogs go out and play. She made sure that Zoey was clean before she was picked up! The level of care for the Zoey could not be better! Thank you so much Lenny, we will not be leaving Zoey with anyone else! Thank you again for being so kind and opening up your home/heart to Zoey.”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ocean Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ocean 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 NY 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
