“Anna went above and beyond the call of duty for myself and my dog. The retractable leash I provided broke on one of her walks and without hesitation she went out to get another leash for future walks. My flight coming back was delayed and she stayed up late for me to arrive to pick up. She checked in everyday with updates and photos on how things were going. Anna was super tentative and detail oriented with my pets routine and needs. She made the experience for myself and my pet very comforting and assuring throughout the duration of the stay. If you're looking for a genuinely good hearted and trustworthy sitter then Anna is for you. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“Teddy spent 5 great happy days boarding at Wendy’s home. There’s front n back yards so the dogs may have fun while out to potty, walking around the cul-de-sac street on her block. Wendy made Teddy’s first time boarding comfortable, playing around either happily and potty outside the house. The large areas allow the dogs to have fun interacting with each other. Wendy is patient, loving and attentive with Teddy. Highly recommend Wendy!”
“Margarita and Cristian were amazing with Milky! They provided daily updates with photos, videos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Margarita is incredibly sweet, and Milky looked happy and comfortable in every single picture. I could tell she really enjoyed her stay. I would highly recommend Margarita and Cristian to anyone looking for loving and reliable pet sitters!”
“Vee and Steven were amazing with our Ruby! Ruby takes some time to warm up to humans and they were so patient with her and let her set the pace. Thank you River for being a great friend and sharing your toys! I felt at ease and very comfortable leaving my girl with them. I got a very detailed update with many pictures and videos daily which I truly appreciated. They are the best!!”
“Peggy was an absolute godsend! Had a last minute cancellation and she agreed to the service with little notice. Went above and beyond for my sweet loons! Gave her tons of exercise that she needs and all the love possible! She sent a bunch of pictures and videos giving me updates on her, and my dog came home happy, calm and having had an amazing time! It was like a vacation for us and for our dog! Cannot thank her enough truly a blessing :)”
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for my own dogs as well as family dogs. I’m comfortable with multiple dogs and enjoy giving them patient, loving attention. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I can easily work pet care into my daily routine and provide plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions, give them plenty of attention and supervision, and always treat them with patience, care, and respect.
About: I genuinely love for animals of all sizes and personalities. My experience goes beyond dogs and cats—I’ve also cared for smaller pets, including bunnies and guinea pigs, so I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves gentle, attentive care. Growing up in Ukraine, I had a cat who was a special part of my life and helped me develop a lifelong appreciation for the companionship animals bring. After moving to New York, I also had a dog with my partner, which gave me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities of dog ownership and the importance of keeping a pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Since my schedule is flexible, I can offer plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or happiest relaxing in a cozy spot. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to their routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Some days I work from the office and some days I work from home, and sometimes I have flexible schedule where I have to leave the house for a few hours and then come back (I work in real estate and have flexible schedule). Also my mom works from home and she will be helping me with pet care. We live together so this way we have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day - and someone is always around. I can easily accommodate their usual schedules, from regular walks and mealtimes to play sessions and cozy breaks. I want every pet in my care to feel relaxed, secure, and loved, just as they would at home. Every pet has a unique personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding what makes them happy and comfortable. Before a stay, I like to learn about your pet’s age, breed, temperament, daily routine, feeding schedule, and favorite activities. It’s also important for me to know about any medical needs, medications, fears, or triggers so I can provide attentive, individualized care. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible and ensure your pet feels safe, understood, and at ease.
About: Hi! My name is Marissa, 26 years old & I live in Rockville Centre. Growing up, dogs were always part of my life. While living home with my parents, I helped care for our 3 dogs- Sugar, Cookie & Leche- which gave me experience caring for multiple dogs at once, of all different breeds, ages & temperaments. More recently, my boyfriend and I rescued a cat, which has given me experience with cat care as well! I’m committed to providing quality & attentive- care, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, flexible, and dependable, and look forward to meeting new fur babies and their owners! I have availability during the day into the late evenings from Sunday- Friday. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. I will always be available & responsive, for you to contact. I provide a calm & quiet environment for them and always make sure your pet is hydrated, fed and well cared for. I will send photos and detailed messages that include everything that happened during the drop- in visit or the walk (+ anything I notice that is brought to my attention). Just let me know if you’d like any plants watered, mail brought inside, garbage to the curb or fish to be fed!
“Krissy is an awesome pet sitter! She was so sweet and gentle with our two senior dogs. My dogs are both on several types of medications and she administered them several times throughout the day. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. She sent me photos of the dogs everyday that we were away on vacation and gave me updates on how they were doing. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Kara-Ann took wonderful care of our cat, Bernie, while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Bernie was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Bernie warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot! We would absolutely book with Kara-Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Gabriela took great care of Bluey. She updated us frequently on his stay and how he was adjusting. She was also very accommodating , sent us pictures and answered any questions. We would definitely recommend Gabriela for boarding services! Thank you so much.”
“Gloria is the best sitter ever ❤️ I've only left my pupper with family members before and she'd cry when I left. Not only didn't she cry, she didn't want to leave! It's really comforting to know I have such a loving sitter to leave her with if I have to!”
About: For the past six months, I’ve been caring for my own Shih Tzu, and she inspired me to become a pet caregiver. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure she feels safe, happy, and comfortable. Caring for my dog has shown me how rewarding it is to provide pets with the attention and affection they deserve, and I’m excited to give the same level of care to every dog I look after. I'm currently working part-time. I only work Monday, Thursday, 7 hours and Friday 3 hours, which means that I have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet ❤️ I also have a 6-month-old dog of the Shihtzu breed so your baby will have company 🥰 I have a house with a patio in front of the house with a defense, also a backyard for the kids to play, the backyard has no defense because it connects with the parking lot of the house, they will have daily walks and above all I’ll take them to the park, parks where dogs are allowed all under precautions
“Super grateful to have found Alysson to watch our pup for a few days. She gave daily updates with cute photos. Was at ease with her watching our girl. Looking forward to using her again soon!”
“Rachel Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Nilo. This was our first time using her services after our regular sitter had an unexpected emergency, and she was kind enough to meet with us right away. Nilo can be a little challenging at times, so I made sure to explain his personality, behaviors, and needs. Rachel was incredibly patient, understanding, and caring from the very beginning. She took the time to make Nilo feel comfortable, took him on several walks, and it was clear that he felt safe and relaxed in her home. It means so much to find someone who genuinely cares for your pet, and Rachel did exactly that. We felt at ease knowing Nilo was in such good hands. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of our Nilo! ❤️ We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Wonderful! We loved the updates and photos, and we know our puppy was so well taken care of! She came back to us so happy! Thank you, Tyler for a great weekend - see you next time! - Maisie”
“My Coco loved her stay with Doris. This was her first time with an extended overnight boarding and she enjoyed her. In the pictures and videos she looked very happy with her cuddle time. Would book with Doris again.”
“I am so glad I trusted Kristen to keep my pet Yorkie. I went with her once I met her and saw how passionate she is about not just her animals but all. She treated my benjie like her own. I have left my dog with his vet boarding in the past and felt he didn't get the attention or care I expected. He was a little withdrawn and took a few days to be his normally playful self. When I picked up my pet from Kristen he was as happy as when I dropped him off and that meant a lot to me. I'm glad I chose Kristen and will definitely continue to use her services. I definitely recommend.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oceanside is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oceanside
Excellent experience, from first communication on rover, to the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. Sonia and her son Kenny sent updates and pics everyday. My dog Levi gets a little nervous with new people but they were so patient and loving, he settled in so quickly. When we picked him up, he was so calm, almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer, hahaa. So glad we found them on Rover, we will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends and family. Do not hesitate to book with them.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Grainne! Teddy was immediately comfortable the moment they met, and it’s completely obvious that Grainne has a true passion for caring for dogs. He had a wonderful vacation of his own, and the photo updates she sent while we were away completely put our minds at ease—the kids loved seeing them! We will definitely book with Grainne again
Ivana was wonderful with Sunny. She is very caring, patient, understanding, and has a very calm, relaxed demeanor that made us feel comfortable right away. Sunny showed some separation anxiety on the first day, and Ivana was extremely patient with her and gave her the time she needed to settle in and feel comfortable. Ivana also did a great job keeping us updated with messages and pictures throughout Sunny’s stay, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Sunny and wanted her to feel safe and happy. We felt very comfortable leaving Sunny in her care and would definitely use Ivana again. Highly recommended!
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!
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.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
