“Kelley was a great sitter and allowed us to book the last minute, only a couple days prior. She was very attentive and quickly responded to messages. Our German Shepherd loved her stay at Kelley's place. The yard is more than spacious, and our dog loved playing and running around there. She had her own room with a dog bed and a water fountain, and was provided with play time and all the care she needed. Highly recommended, and will definitely use Kelley's services anytime in the future.”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
About: I’ve cared for many cats/dogs since I was 10. My partner is a dog trainer and works at a daycare/training facility with his family he has taught me so much about dogs and their behaviors. I’m currently open availability. So if you need someone more consistent I’m available for daily walks and visits and over night home care or boarding Depending on your dogs bathroom schedule they will have multiple times outside and walks. I will feed them and give them meds if needed. If they like to play we will play too.
“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I recently lost my own dog and I am newly retired. I have plenty of time and plenty of love to give. I really miss my own pet so I would love to take care of yours as if they are my own. we can be as active as necessary I am retired and entirely devoted to your pet. I love an active lifestyle and if they do too they will accompany me if okay the two of us will spend mostly all our time together in one way or another actively or just hanging out. I will enjoy your pet as if they were my own
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years - they are part of the family! You will have no worries while they are in my care. My work schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time and love and spend time your your dog(s) whether it's a walk, sit around or brush them. I live in a safe neighborhood or can come to yours - wherever you and your pet feel more comfortable and will be sure they are cared for at all times.
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”
“Blanca was very attentive to my little girl's needs. I was informed on a daily basis while I was away and had poor reception throughout my trip. So messages from her would pour in at weird times, but all in all a excellent boarder and will definitely recommend/return again.”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.
“Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!”
“Our pup had a great time with Andrea. She was flexible and has great communication. Definitely would recommend Andrea, and would love to have our dog stay with her in the future.”
“Bento had a great time with Shannon! She was caring and spent lots of time with him. He can be shy with new people and he warmed up to Shannon immediately. She took him on lots of walks and even to get dog treats at the local coffee shop! She was very easy to coordinate with and sent lots of pictures of Bento. Would definitely use and recommend Shannon again.”
“Michelle was great! She was very responsive and accommodating(we had to go to a concert, and was still able to pick him up after)! Our little guy was well taken care of and had a great time! Will definitely reach out to her again when in the area!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Rebecca was great for Chinx!! She stayed in contact with me and sent videos and pictures of Chinx playing with his new puppy pals. I will be rebooking with her again”
“You will not find anyone that loves animals more than Kristen. I’m so happy that I found her! If I’m on vacation I never worry about the well-being of my dog. Kristen sends updates and pictures and it really puts me at ease. I highly recommend her.”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful. We had a last minute request and it was our first time leaving our dog with anyone else besides grandma. She sent us photo updates, putting us at ease. Teddy had a blast and was full of excitement and a wagging tail when we picked him up. We would definitely love to have her care for him again.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ocean City is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $82 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 October 2026, there are 156 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 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.
97% 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, 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 , 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 .
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 NJ 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.
