About: Hi! I’m Janine — a lifelong dog owner, rescue mom, and dedicated pet lover offering safe, loving in-home boarding in my home. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine passion for animals, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands while you’re away. Your pup will enjoy a calm, homey environment with plenty of love and attention. I only board one dog at a time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and never overwhelmed. We have a fully fenced-in yard for outdoor play, and your dog will be treated like family—daily walks, cuddle time, and a routine that feels just like home. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a mellow senior, I tailor the care to fit their needs. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry best friend! I work mainly from home and can tailor my schedule to fit your pups needs. They will never be alone longer than the occasional errand, during the days or nights. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly pups to make yours feel at home. Plenty of space to separate them, should your pup need a dog free space.
“Michele was very accommodating as we needed a last last minute sitter and the pick up time wasn’t finalized. She was flexible and very easy to work with I’ll definitely work with her again when I’m in the area!”
“It was a pleasure meeting Nachay at our meet & greet. She accommodate my last minute schedule changes for our 5 mos old pup for our son's wedding reception day. She also accommodated our schedule day of the event. Nachay sent lots of pictures and frequent updates. Our pup got to socialize and was a tired pup when we got her home. Thank you and looking forward to our next visit.”

“We used Andrew to dog sit our 7 month old St. Berdoodle puppy Stewart, and our daughters 3 year old Old English Sheepdog, Oswald, while we hosted an enngagement party at our home. Everything was wonderful. Andrew was very accomodating and we met prior to the day to check out the house and have Stewart meet Andrew. The dogs were well cared for and happy when they returned home. We will definitely use Andrew again in the future!! Thank you Andrew!!!”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing. From the first message she was great. I explained to her all the backstory on my recently adopted rescue and she put us at ease right away. She was very understanding and didn’t shy away from a potentially skittish pup. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos and put our minds at ease. I’m very happy with the care she provided my pup and would absolutely recommend her services if you’re in need of someone to watch out for your furry friend.”
“Alba greeted us warmly and made Max feel very comfortable. She kept in touch during the day, sending photos, and I knew Max was in good hands. I will definitely be using Alba again! Max had a great day 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oceanside
We couldn’t be happier with the care Alex gave Cooper. He took such wonderful care of our 11-month-old puppy for an entire week, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Cooper was being cared for in his home. He kept us updated, gave him lots of attention, training and treated him like he was his own. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Alex and will definitely be using him again! ❤️🐾
Nashay is the only person outside of family who has taken care of my little guy and I’m not sure I’d trust anyone else. Even though it was two months between visits, he went right with her and barely wanted to leave when I came to pick him up. I love the constant updates with pictures and knowing my dog is safe and cared for!
Kierra watched my dog for a few hours during the day and it was a good experience. She was kind, easy to communicate with, and made the drop-off and pick-up smooth. I appreciated that she sent a couple of updates and photos, which helped me feel comfortable while I was away. My dog seemed well cared for when I returned. I would book with her again.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oceanside on Rover is $35.31 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Oceanside commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
