“We had a great experience with Aurmurii! She was very attentive and caring with Kean, played with him, and made sure he got plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kean came home happy and noticeably calmer and more relaxed. It was clear that he had a wonderful time and was very well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Rachel and Cody are awesome! They made us feel very comfortable concerning the care we wanted for our Angus. I've never used Rover before and was a little worried about how it would turn out. Angus loved it and I didn't know he loved cats! Lol. Rachel and Cody are now my go to sitters! I absolutely and highly recommend them!”
About: I've had pets since a young age, ferrets, Cats and Dogs. I love them, I enjoy their company and like to play with them everyday. I work at home, rarely have to leave the house for work. If its the case it's only in the morning and close by the house. I have a fenced front yard, animal loving neighbors and back of the home is fenced as well. I have a little mini dachshund and two cute cats. My pets are friendly towards new friends.
About: I am a dog lover and have volunteered for a local dog rescue for years. I have one dog of my own who loves to play with others. I recently started to dog sit so that she can have play dates. I treat all visitors like my own and can provide lots of good references. I work full time locally 8a-430p but my husband is home during the day and we work as a team. Our dog(s) are our priority and all visitors are treated like our own. We have a 6' privacy fence and a doggie door for play time and a nice cozy house with all the dog stuff for them to hang out in and relax. There are lots of toys and treats to share.
“Took good care of my elderly dog, kept up with his meds and played fetch with him. They have a nice big backyard for the doggos. Would take him to Dave and Krysta again.”
“We had a wonderful experience having Maya stay with Rosie and her family in their home. From the start, we felt very comfortable leaving Maya in their care. She received daily walks, lots of attention, and clearly felt right at home. Rosie and her family did an excellent job communicating with us and sent us photos every day, which we really appreciated and enjoyed seeing while we were away. Knowing Maya was happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us great peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely use Rosie and her family again. Highly recommended!”
“Melesie is so kind, attentive, and will treat your fur baby with the best care out there! She always sends me daily updates and pictures of my sweet pup having fun. After years of using Rover, we found the best sitter out there. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was amazing! Super considerate and attentive to my dog. Took time out of her day to get to know him before, and was very flexible with my busy schedule. Would definitely book again.”
“Macie was so amazing. I love how Bleu feel like he was right at home. He was so comfortable around her and her family and that had made me feel so good inside. I would highly recommend Macie to watch your fur baby. I will definitely have her to watch Bleu again. Macie, thank you so much! 🤗”
“Oakie was a great sitter for my dog. It was last minute but she was able to accommodate us and we were so thankful that she could. She sent pictures daily also text and responded to my texts in a timely manner. She was the perfect match for my dog. I highly recommend her and definitely will use her again.”
“Rabia was fantastic with communicating photos and videos with me daily and put me very much at ease with leaving my one year old Labrador. She ensures that all pups are current on vaccinations and that their personalities are suitable for interacting with one another. My pup was tired when I picked her up from all of the non-stop playing and I’m so thankful she had such a fun time and such great care. I will definitely board with Rabia again!!”
“Chris and Jeana are wonderful! Our pups are always in great hands when they stay with them! We love how caring they are and that their home provides our pups a home away from home.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was old enough to scoop food into a bowl! I have always had cats and dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have a cat and Goldendoodle of my own. I recently transitioned into a low stress remote job, giving me plenty of time to take my pup on walks and to the park. Prior to this, I dealt with finding the daily time to give my own pets the exercise and attention they deserve. I am more than happy to give others the relief I found from pet sitting/walking since I have a lot more time on my hands! I am happy to make any accommodations needed when caring for pets in their own homes, and strive to keep them as comfortable and in routine as possible! As someone who also needs pet sitters when traveling, I know the importance of feeling confident with who is caring for your pets. Whatever I can do to make them happy, just say the word!
“Dawn took care of my Billy so well. She regularly shared videos and photos. She took him for walks to parks. Billy visited new places and I was so happy that he must have thoroughly enjoyed his walks and stay. Dawn is easy and caring to interact. I would highly recommend her for any dog parent.”
About: I used to work at healthy pet and enjoyed it very much. I’ve loved being around animals since I was a young girl. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. My mom was a veterinarian and would always bring home animals. I’ve grown up with over 20 animals in my home. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and hang out out with your doggies. I will always make time for your animals because they become a priority to me. I live in a home with a fenced backyard and multiple crates big or small. Your pup will have plenty of space to run around. I’ve got lots of toys for them.
“Jessica was amazing as always. She took such great care of our dog. The communication was just right and our dog always looked super happy! Would totally recommend booking with Jessica!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean City
Our pups, Bo and Spicy stayed for two nights for my husband and I to go get married. Our lab mutt mix is truly what we call so special. Described frequently as a dog with half a brain cell that flickers on and off and it shows. Our border collie spicy who was rescued and came from a place where he was not treated right and tends to need a lot of empathy and compassion especially coming from males. Throwing a ball is the fastest way to his heart. Bo likes to be the center of attention without knowing what kind of attention it is he wants. Rachel and Cody treated our boys with so much love and respect. Cody understood how unsure of males Spicy could be and at drop off immediately eased our anxieties just witnessing first hand the care our dogs would receive. Both Rachel and Cody gained the dogs trust and learned their play desires (especially Bo’s butt scratch spots and desire for a good wrestle). Rachel and Cody kept us informed without asking but anytime we wanted just to see what the pups were up to they provided us with pictures and descriptions of play and activities. These boys are our world and our sons world and they truly took such great care of them. Thank you! Also, at drop off, something that we TRULY appreciated tremendously was Rachel and Cody took time to get to know the dogs and to get to know us. They asked us if we had any specific needs for the dogs, their usual schedules, how they react to things. They asked specific questions that I would have never thought to ask. For an hour we witnessed their care for the dogs, we had a great conversation about the dog’s personalities, our personalities and what it was that we wanted for our pups and at the end of the day we wanted the dogs to be comfortable and to have fun and judging by the way the two of them snored last night after coming home I know that’s exactly what they got.
Aurmurii was amazing! We booked last minute and she made the time to still do a meet and greet with my babies to make sure they would get along well. She was super patient with them and even took the time to introduce them to other dogs even though they are typically a little nervous. Great at sending updates and making sure she understood my dogs needs and temperaments. Would absolutely book again!
Roxy had such a great time with Naomi. She was in constant contact with me to keep my anxiety level low. Roxy loves Naomi so much, that when we got home, she looked for her and whimpered. I will definitely be using Naomi again. She treated my baby with love and care as is she were her own. 💜 Thank you Naomi 🐕💜
Kalvin took good care of our dog Chico. Chico is a very happy doggie when we pick him up from Kalvin house. Kalvin takes him for walks, play with him, and comfort him during thunderstorms. We love the fact he only keeps one pet at a time. I would highly recommend using Kalvin to watch your furry baby.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ocean City is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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 November 2026, there are 478 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ocean City. 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.
96% of sitters in Ocean City 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 City 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 City.
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 City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 City 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 FL 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.
