“ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! Margit & Bill are amazing! We have never had our dogs with anyone other than family - well- Olivia & Riley immediately felt they had met new family members! Welcomed by their 3 sweet dogs, Margit and Bill took the time to explain their day to day schedule, all while our dogs jumped up on their laps and snuggled! I made multiple errors when booking our dates & times- they were very gracious, patient & flexible! Their son Noah, also a Rover sitter, stepped in at the end of the week and was as loving & communicative as his parents. Having daily communication and photos throughout the week was such a great way to stay in the loop and up to date on our pups. If you are looking for a place that will love your fur baby while you are away - Margit & Bill are THE BEST! Knowing we have a safe and loving home away from home for Olivia & Riley is such a great relief! Thank you Rover for employing Margit & Bill! They are worth their weight in gold! Deb A Frankford,DE”
“Kathy is the best!! She took amazing care of my older dog. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated. I will recommend her to friends and family and I plan on using her again!!”
“Thank you Kendra for taking such great care of Lucy for us. Kendra was amazing. She came through last minute for us and we can’t thank her enough. We could immediately tell when we meet her that Lucy was already so comfortable with her. She kept us informed each day of how things were going and was absolutely wonderful and so easy to talk and work with. We definitely plan on using her in the future.”
About: I love dogs and up until 3 months ago I had a rescue dog for 8 years until she developed serious medical issuse and I had her euthanized. I miss here and she was spoiled and I will do the same for your dog. I will provide plenty of walks and a nice fenced in backyard where your pet can roam free to do whatever. I allowed my dog to have free roam of my house, and your pet will have the same freedom, and I have a nice porch where your pet can lay outside and enjoy the sights. I am 75 and a retired RN. I live alone so my schedule is very flexible, with the appropriate notification. I am an early riser so your pet will be let out back first thing in the morning, then - 2or 3 walks during the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a fenced in deck above the garage so your pet can be safe in either one of the locations.
“Our dogs can be challenging and this was the first time they've ever been boarded. McCray did a great job taking care of them and giving them tons of attention...all during the holidays, which is not easy.”
“Can’t say enough how well our Sally was treated on her vacation from us! Irena and her family welcomed Sally as one of their own while we were away! Irena sent photo updates to us and we knew our girl was being well taken care of! Vacationing in Ocean City at a pet-unfriendly place? Bring your furbaby to Irena during your stay. Live in Ocean Pines or thereabouts? Irena is the perfect person to take in your beloved while you’re away!”
“This is the second year that we've used Karen and her family to watch our dog Macy during our annual family vacation. We know that Macy is well taken care of and loved and that we don't have to worry about her while we're away! Macy loves people so she gets lots of TLC from Karen and Ron.”
“Katie was a wonderful find. She was able to take Emma last minute, when I was in a panic for a sitter. She asked great questions about my pup and what she was allowed (and not allowed) to do. Katie took her on walks and sent photos. I highly recommend her, she was absolutely wonderful.”
“Our dog, who can be a wee bit nervous, had such a lovely time with Jeremiah and his family! They were so kind and communicative, and we’ll happily trust them to care for her again. She can’t wait to be back for snuggles with the kids!”
“Rachel did a great job of caring for our Daisy. Daisy loved playing with Scooby and Damsel. It was so cute to see Scooby playing with Daisy considering their size difference. I will definitely use Rachel again!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. I used to live on a farm with goats, horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. My favorite breed is a cocker spaniel. I currently work from home all day long so I am available for around the clock attention. Pets are like family members. We all engage with each other all the time. I take breaks often and play in the backyard with the pets. My kids also loves to experience new animals in the house. We also have a great neighborhood to walk the animals.
“Alyssa was perfect for watching our standard poodle, Fin, for four nights. She sent several pictures while we were away and informed us of their daily walks and happenings. When we picked up Fin he was very happy and had eaten, which showed he was very comfortable being with Alyssa (and her cat which Fin had never experienced before :). Fin was well taken care of, we highly recommend Alyssa and will be using her as needed.”
“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our 2-year-old Cavapoo, Ollie, with a sitter for the first time, but Sylvia put our minds at ease the moment we met her. She is incredibly caring and attentive. I loved receiving the photo updates showing Ollie happy and enjoying his stay—it meant I didn't have to worry about him at all! I can’t recommend Sylvia enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I currently have a cat and a golden retriever and would love to help you take care of your dog while you are in need. I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule allows me to be very flexible for potty breaks and general playtime while I'm taking care of your best friend. We have over 3/4 of an acre of property and are also located in the heart of Berlin...So a walk or outside playtime is no problem.
“AIKO had a little separation anxiety and was quickly loved and preoccupied and went on with his stay .. there were numerous updates and quick response to any questions that I had concerning AIKO stay ! He made a new friend and met other dogs . I was please with the environment very welcoming and clean !! Relaxed environment as well I am beyond pleased and looking at future dates . Thanks again”
“Jill has watched our Golden twice now and has taken great care of her! She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. Would 100% recommend Jill for your doggy day care needs!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ocean City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ocean City on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 138 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ocean City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
89% of Ocean City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ocean City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 MD 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.
