“Danielle and Austin, as always, were incredibly kind and caring with Rocco! And I really appreciated the thoughtful pictures and details, they even left some treats for me and Rocco at my door! Soso grateful to have such loving neighbors like them.”
About: I’ve loved and worked with dogs for years, and I’m dedicated to giving them the care and attention they need. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and follow their owner’s instructions to a T. I understand the signs of their needs—whether it’s playtime, rest, or comfort—and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. I work part-time, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I can dedicate quality time each day to walks, play, and keeping them happy. I love to create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow routines closely, supervise play, and give each pet plenty of love and attention.
“Rosie had the time of her life. Rachel was easy to communicate with and sent me pictures and Rosie having a good time. Thank you Rachel I look forward to having her join you again.”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a young child. My life wouldn’t be complete without them. I’ve owned, fostered, and now sit for all kinds of pets. We have a room set aside for acclimating them, and a large fenced backyard for them to wander around. I care for your pets as though they were my own. While being a stay at home with my two littles, I have lots of time to play, watch, walk, and more. We are always happy to share our home or let your family run around the fenced in backyard. We have a small kitten that is half in and half outside so we can always accommodate. There is a great walking path for us or running around in the backyard.
“Charles & Rachel did a great job with my nervous dog! They were amazing about keeping me updated the whole time with pictures and text updates. It was a great experience!”
“Rachel was absolutely incredible! She took care of our Chip over the holidays and he had a great stay with her and her pups. She was super responsive, friendly, sent us lot of pictures, and we were so happy to know he was getting lots of love and attention from her. We pile definitely recommend Rachel and book with her again in the future.”
About: When I’m not fostering pups, I’m caring for dogs through Rover! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love giving them the care, attention, and patience they deserve. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take the time to get to know each pup’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be with your pup majority of the day. I am available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate to your schedule if needed! I have a fenced in small back yard, but many walking paths and parks near by! We do not have any other pets in the household, so your pup will be receiving one on one care while in a calm and relaxing environment.
“It was so reassuring to see how much they loved and cared for Apollo. They treated him like part of their family. I could tell that Apollo felt comfortable with them. We received regular pictures and updates. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Sara took such great care of my boy Bubba. She is so kind and punctual and sends lots and lots of pictures and videos everyday. She listened to everything I had to say and incorporated that into her care of Bubba. I would highly recommend Sara and will be booking with her again!!”
“Thank you for saying yes last minute! I appreciate the pictures, prompt responses and flexibility in pickup and drop off. Thank you for giving Mr Clingy lots of Easter love and attention. Hope you’ll have Oscar back in your home again :)”
“Arthur was wonderful to work with. Prompt, responsive, great updates & photos. He asked us great questions to get to know our dog's needs and most importantly, took wonderful care of our Lucky! We would happily reach out to him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Doug helped put our minds at ease for our first international family trip since we've had our dog. We knew she was in great hands and always appreciated his daily check-ins assuring us of it!”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“Nancy and her husband are so sweet and took the best care of Ripley! They made her feel right at home, and it put me at ease knowing she was happy and well cared for!! Highly recommend!”
“Zoey had her first big sleepover with Lynn and Mr. Biggs, 1 week long! My husband and I didn’t worry about a thing, other than that maybe Zoey wouldn’t want to come home since she was having so much fun!”
“Lana always enjoys her time at Nora’s, and we appreciate how often she communicates and sends daily photos. I never worry about our dog while she’s in Nora’s care… except that maybe she won’t want to leave!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oceanside
We had a wonderful experience with Kameron! She took excellent care of Piggy and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Piggy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and love. Communication was great, and we appreciated the cute pics.
Frank came back happy, clean, & taken care of! Alexis sent me pictures & videos, was always quick to respond, and made pickup/drop-off super easy. She was also really patient & understanding with Frank's needs. I feel totally comfortable to have him stay with her again next time Im in town & would definitely book with Alexis again! 🐶❤️
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!
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 $48.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,113 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.
