About: I have taken care of dogs a lot throughout my life. I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood all the time. 4 years ago I got my own puppy and trained him. Now we walk around 5 miles everyday I walk my dog multiple times a day and I love to go on long walks. I have a waitressing job in the summer and I like to spend the rest of my days outside playing with dogs. I care for my puppy so much and I am always playing with him and never leaving him by himself. I make sure that he is always happy and healthy
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kelley took great care of our pup while we were away. She reached out frequently with updates and was quick to respond to our interactions as well. It was nice to know he was safe and well cared for.”
“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.”
“Lisa was wonderful with my Peppy! Snuggles, car ride, art work, and plenty of love by the family! Lisa really is awesome and very easy going to deal with. Your pet would be privileged and spoiled to be in her care :) Thanks again!!!”
“Tyler was super accommodating in taking a last minute booking and kept me updated during the stay. Rookie had the best time and got along well with Tyler’s dogs. I highly recommend trusting him with your pet!”
“We can’t that Ashlee enough for taking such good care of our puppy, Teddy. She’s always available when we need her and sends us pictures of him playing and having fun. He loves going to her house! Ashlee is sweet and caring and a pleasure to work with.”
“Kateri is my go-to! She goes above and beyond every single stay. Kateri’s dog, Mazey plays so well with my 9.5 month pup. I love that Kateri gives me updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. She also sent home a report card with a full summary of the visit (it’s still hanging on my fridge! 🥹) Kateri really does think of everything when it comes to your dogs- and has always given me peace of mind knowing my pup will be well taken care of. She’s knowledgeable, super easy to work with, and as kind as can be!”
“Jared was wonderful! Excellent communication leading up to our booking. He sent multiple photos daily and our dog had a great time. We will be repeat clients and highly recommend Jared.”
“couldn’t be happier with the care Marci provided for my dog while I was away. From our first communication, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in getting to know my dog’s needs and personality. Throughout the entire stay, Roxy was clearly in good hands. Marci also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Marci to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and responsible. I’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics! I just hope we settle close enough to be able to have her sit more often.”
“Amazing!! He really went above and beyond. He was a life saver to me. He took my dogs last minute in a complicated situation and took care of things that he didn't have to do. I can tell that he is a true animal lover. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!!”
“My dog Levi’s stay with Jan was perfect. She was friendly, professional and took such great care of Levi. He had so much fun. I will definitely use her again the next time I’m in the area and need boarding again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean City
Our frenchie (Homer) stayed with Caroline over Labor Day Weekend and she was great! Very communicative and she also sent us pictures of Homer throughout the weekend which was very thoughtful. Drop off and pick up were easy. When we picked him up we could tell he didn’t want to leave and he had such a good time with Caroline and her family. We would highly recommend Caroline and if we lived closer would use her more often to watch Homer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ocean City on Rover is $55.5 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 154 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.
92% 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 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.
