“Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”
“We love having Rory stay with Janine. This was Rory’s 3rd stay, and she practically dragged me to Janine’s door at drop off. Janine is very communicative, reliable, and creates a safe space for Rory. She’s flexible with last minute requests and arranging drop-off and pick-up, and sends regular photos. Janine pays particular attention to Rory’s needs and comfort, and was very gratified at Rory’s increased comfort upon her third stay. We love Janine and will use her again soon.”
“Nachay has been readily available and accommodating anytime I need her. She sends photos and communicates frequently. I know Enzo is well taken care of and has a great time in her care!”
“Nilka is a treasure. She is extremely loving to animals, showers them with attention and walks and very communicative, sending photos and updates. Boarding with Nilka is a vacation for your pooch. Highly recommended! I will use her every time she's available.”
“Duvin provided a great service watching my dog . My dog does have some anxiety and he was super comfortable staying with Duvin . He sent pictures and was very accommodating . My dog got along well with his dog . I would for sure use him again .”
“The best sitter to book with! Xiaoying and her family are excellent and truly the sweetest! I had an overnight cat sitting service with them for a 7 nights and they sent me daily photos and videos and made sure to keep me updated! They also brought so many toys, a cat tree, and cat hideaway spots for my cat. My cat Lucki didn’t want to leave he really liked it there and it’s like his second home now😊 will definitely be rebooking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter or boarding service! ❤️”
“Michael was great with Phil. He was quick to respond and communicated well, which made me feel comfortable leaving Phil with him. I will definitely use his service again. Thank you Michael”
“Pamela took the best care of our pup, Thor! She cared for him for 1 week. She kept him active with multiple walks a day and even shared her pup’s healthy snacks with Thor. Pamela kept me updated throughout the day with videos and pictures. I 100% recommend her and will be using her in the future. Thank you Pam! - Thor misses you already 😁”
“We left our little dog with Narly for a second time. Just like the first our dog enjoyed being there, especially having the company of the other dogs. You are really awesome with the care & attentiveness of our family pet. Thank you so much”
“I was really anxious about boarding my fur baby, especially since we had just recently rehomed him and were putting so much effort into his training. I came across a few profiles, but Alex stood out right away. He responded quickly, came to meet Leo on his own time, and from the moment we met him, we just knew he was the right fit for our boy. It’s not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but Alex made it easy. He was so communicative, kind, and accommodating. He even kept up with the commands we were practicing with Leo, which meant so much to us. While we were away, Alex kept us updated with photos and stories, and he gave Leo such wonderful new experiences — from trips to the beach to sitting at an outdoor restaurant. Alex didn’t just take care of Leo, he went above and beyond. He gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation and showed genuine love and care for our pup. I feel so relieved and grateful knowing we’ve found not only a safe and reliable sitter, but a friend and someone Leo is truly happy with. Don’t hesitate to book Alex. He is amazing !”
“Kristen was wonderful! I had a two week vacation and my usual cat sitter had to cancel last minute. I was panicked because I needed someone I could trust since I have an elderly cat and another cat on medication that he needs daily. Kristen was able to accommodate a short notice booking and texted me everyday with updates and pictures. Because of her, I felt at ease when I was away because I knew they were being loved and in good hands. I highly recommend Kristen for boarding.”
“Carla and her family took such wonderful care of our two dogs. They treat them as though they’re part of the family and it’s so evident when you drop the dogs off to them. Our boys were so happy when they arrived and fit right in. This is the second time our dogs have stayed with Carla and we look forward to the next time! Thank you so much!!”
“This was my first experience with Vanessa and it was amazing. Front start to finish she provided excellent communication and thorough updates. I felt that my pet was in safe hands and I did not need to worry. Overall great experience.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! She was kind, reliable, and treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“Ivana cared so well for our beloved Naomi. She was attentive to all of her needs and consistently communicated with me regarding Naomi’s care. I’d highly recommend Ivana and hope to work with her again.”
“Shushma was the best! Otto had such a great time that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be rebooking with her. She was also great administering Otto's pills twice a day.”
“My Claire stayed with Samantha. She gave Claire space to settle down and get comfortable in a environment that was not home. I felt at ease leaving Claire with Samantha. I received pictures even it though it was slightly over a 24 stay. I would totally recommend Samantha!”
“Just an incredible experience. Michelle was a pleasure to have dog sit Hero. She sent tons of pictures and videos and also gave Hero a bath! I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10.”
“Ladybug had a great time with Judy. She sent updates with pictures and administered her flea/tick medication. Ladybug is dog reactive and Judy handled this with ease. She was excellent at keeping in communication with us while we were on our trip. Thank you Judy for taking such great care of Ladybug!”

Carla is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive to every detail regarding Kiara’s care. She asked thoughtful, specific questions both before and during the stay to make sure she understood Kiara’s routine, personality, and needs. What truly sets Carla apart is that she treats Kiara as if she were her own dog. Kiara wasn’t just being watched—she became part of Carla’s family and pack. That level of love, attention, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who will welcome your dog into a loving home and provide exceptional, above-and-beyond care, we can’t recommend Carla enough. Carla will always be our first choice for dog sitting. Thank you for making it so easy and comfortable to leave Kiara in your care for extended periods. We are incredibly grateful!
Best sitter ever. Outside of family my babies have never stayed with anyone else. I was very nervous/anxious about going online to find a sitter, I go on Rover and in my area pops up Nachay instantly my anxiety washes away after reading her reviews, I book her, the day of dropping the girls off it was easy Nachay is so professional and friendly. My girls has the time of their lives. She took good care of them, gave me updates pics and videos throughout the boarding time. I’m very happy, I will book again…. Add us to the list, another happy customer.
I used Janine for the first time, and she exceeded every expectation. She was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring, providing regular updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving. We received regular updates and photos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Grace!
Cannot say enough great things about Sam and her family. You can truly tell they love animals and took care of my dog like he was their own. She kept me updated and send me pictures for the week I was away. My dog truly did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. I know he cannot wait to go back!
Alex took great care of our puppy, Fintan! He was able to accommodate us at the last minute, took the time to find out where we were in our training with Fintan and what kind of issues we wanted to work on, sent us pictures and videos, and took the time to socialize our puppy. Would be happy to book with him again!
Stephanie is an incredible pet sitter! We are so grateful to her for taking such great care of our dog (1 year, 8 months old) for a weekend stay. We have a high-energy dog who requires a lot of attention (e.g., play time/soccer in the backyard and walks) - Stephanie truly went above and beyond for our dog. Stephanie also constantly checked in with multiple photos every day (during the weekend stay), provided updates, and followed our detailed instructions. We can tell our dog enjoyed his time with Stephanie as well! Thank you very much to Stephanie for being a kind-hearted, loving, attentive, reliable, and wonderful dog sitter!
Shushma and her family are amazing! She saved me during the last snow storm when the person meant to watch Haddie couldn’t get home due to flight cancellations and it was absolutely meant to be. She provided lots of updates and it was clear the family and their dogs had completely embraced Haddie as one of their own.
This was Rory’s second stay with Julie. Julie is amazing! Rory had such a good time her first stay she dragged me to Julie’s door on our second visit. Julie is very caring and Rory got plenty of playtime outdoors in Julie’s fenced in yard. Julie is a pleasure to work with, very flexible, and Rory will definitely come back.
Our three dogs loved their stay with this lovely family! We got pictures, videos, and regular updates. The videos showed us how much fun our dogs were having, they loved running around the backyard and even our very shy dog made good friends! We felt assured that our dogs were well cared for while we were away on vacation, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they were safe and happy. We will book again with Sonia and her family the next time we are away, for sure!
This is my first time using Rover so I was unfamiliar with the whole process. I had lots of worries and questions but Catalina did an amazing job with my dog. She kept me updated every day and sent me lots of photos! She made this experience a great one. I will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend!
This was the first time we left our 12 year old pooch with someone other than family. Nancy was great. She gave us updates and pictures while we were away which kept my daughter so happy. Our dog looked like she wanted to stay longer when we picked her up. Would book again without hesitation. Thank you for giving us peace of mind during our vacation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oceanside on Rover is $58.85 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 13,272 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 NY 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.
