“I could tell that my dog felt very loved and safe in her home. My husband and I thank you so very much. We've been thru alot of not good things for the past few years and knowing that we could get away for a few days and feel at ease know that our fur buddy is so well taken care of means the world to us.”
“Sue and Dick were great with Speckle. They sent pictures and little updates daily which was much appreciated. We’ve already booked our next boarding appointment. Thanks again.”
“Sean & family (including their dog Zorian) were just wonderful dog sitters! This was a repeat booking with him and I certainly plan to use him again in the future. They welcomed my dog into their family and took great care of him!”
“The hardest part about being a dog owner is finding people you can trust when you want to travel. Whether it be out for the night or in our case, gone for the weekend. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone from rover and couldn't be happier. We have an older pittie that isn't good with other dogs and a puppy that has lots of energy and is little over 1. Brianna and Charles put us at ease from the moment we dropped them off. They even kept us updated with photos and you could tell how happy the doggos were when we picked them up. We will definitely be trying our hardest to book with them when we need to book with rover again in the future.”
“Once again Rachel and Charles went above and beyond to make sure Dudley was well taken care of. He comes home happy and healthy. I can’t say enough about these two awesome people. 🙏”
“I'm so pleased with the care my dog (Quincy) received from this lovely family! You can just tell when people really enjoy having dogs around and this family does! The daily updates with photos and videos show Quincy getting walks and belly rubs. Quincy is happy to jump out of the car and go to them when I drop her off. I am new to the area but will continue to rely on this family for their excellent, loving care of my pup!”
“Erica and Felipe were amazing caretakers for our big boy Chopper. We were out of town longer than initially planned (11 days!) and unfortunately we were gone for our pup’s birthday. They were so sweet to celebrate his birthday and film singing happy birthday to him. They were so great about sending daily updates including pictures. We would 100% use them again!”
“Rachel was amazing. I was very nervous about leaving my little guy for 2 nights. She sent me pictures and updates every day which completely eased my mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is uneasy about leaving their pup with a stranger. Larry came home happy and tired from playing with her pups. Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of our dog! We will be calling you anytime we need to leave town”
“We use Carrie every time we go out of town. She’s awesome. She follows directions and goes the extra mile. The daily pics help me feel better about being away. Definitely recommend her!”
“Kelly and her family were so kind and welcoming for taking care of Theo. She was super flexible with multiple timing requests and made the whole experience really easy. Theo clearly loved his time with Kelly's family and pups and even tried running with her! Theo's already excited about another stay with Kelly in the future.”
About: Growing up with dogs and missing my own, I am looking to help keep dogs happy, healthy and loved by walking, hiking, play and overnights care. My kids and I like to travel and understand how hard traveling can be when you can’t take them with you. I work full time, but will soon be off for the summer. I also have most weekends free and can drop in during my lunch if close to work. I have a great dog park near our place but prefer trails. Dogs that stay with my kids and I will be well loved and treated like family. We are a dog family but aren’t ready for another pup yet. I will be the one caring for your pet, but my kids will help give your pet lots of love, attention and belly rubs.
“Chong was super flexible, friendly, caring and reliable! She was very communicative for the days our dog stayed with her. Will definitely count on her again! You can see she’s a great dog lover and attentive.”
“Kimberly was so wonderful with our two doggos. They welcomed them into their home just like family. They enjoyed their stay based on the photos received daily and came back happy and healthy. I recommend Kim and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“Our Dog loved Darcey so much and she was great at keeping us in the loop and sending pictures. We will definitely try to schedule with her again the next time we need someone to watch our dog.”
“Anasteysha and her family were excellent! Our dog Cookie really enjoyed her stay and was able to play with other dogs. Anasteysha was very responsive and sent many pictures/videos while we were away. We will use their services again!”
“I had an emergency ER visit in the middle of the night, John took our two pups on that next morning with no notice and was so kind and understanding about the whole situation. I wasn't even able to get him a timeline of how long they would be with him, John made me feel like I could focus on the hospital happenings without ever having to worry about our pups. We're so incredibly grateful to have John and Elena, our dogs were so well taken care of! When I dropped them off they had a lot of anxiety from what happened and when I picked them back up I could tell they had such a good time and all of their anxiety was gone. The only place I'll drop off our dogs! Thank you John and Elena!”

Aubrey was great with my two little chihuahuas! And her Ripley was a great host as well. Aubrey was very flexible and understanding and was not deterred at all by my elderly dog's medication needs and her nervous, old lady, chihuahua behaviors. I felt very comfortable having my two babies being cared for by Aubrey and Ripley. Will book again!
Alexis was amazing with our Hyper Aussie puppy. He can be a handful with all of his energy but Alexis gave him alot of excercise and play time. She took him to the dog park everyday. She also provided us with advice for bedtime as it is something we have struggled with at home. She is very knowledgable and kind. We will definitely be using her again!!
Maddie was probably the best person to work with! I had a last minute trip and she was quick to communicate, had the availability and took in Finn for the week. 10/10 communication and care. I just felt like Finn was in great hands and that allowed me to enjoy my trip! Thank you so much. Highly recommend Maddie and her family.
Sara is the best rover I could’ve asked for. She took me in last minute, and made sure I was well updated on my dog. She walked her, took lots of pictures for me, and even tended to Lexi’s allergies without me asking her to. I could tell when I picked her up that she had been well taken care of. 10/10 recommend! Thank you sara
Landin, Alex, and their puppy Lola were amazing! From the first time I met them, I knew my dog would be in great hands. My dog can be nervous in unknown homes and situations, and they were super understanding about doing a meet and greet at their place to let her become familiar with their home. Her communication from the first day and throughout the whole stay was great, including sending lots of pictures and keeping me updated throughout, which I loved! I would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely use them again
Michael was flat out amazing. My pup can be a bit hesitant to new people but immediately loved him upon meeting. He took her on multiple long walks making sure to keep her well exercised and entertained. He sent lots of photos which helped me as I have never left my dog with someone we didn't already know before this. We will be sure to book with Michael again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oceanside on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,064 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oceanside. 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.
95% of Oceanside 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 Oceanside 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 Oceanside 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 Oceanside.
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 Oceanside 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 CA 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.
