“Sunny was so amazing and I am thrilled I have met her. She took such great care of my little doggie while I was away, and sent pictures to keep me posted of Foxy's day. I have already rebooked her because I felt so confident and comfortable with Sunny. Thank you so much for making it easy for me to go away.”
“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”
“Our pups were so happy staying with Diana. She did a fantastic job caring for them. Our vacation was so enjoyable knowing what good hands our Kane and Kobe were in. Diana sent pictures, walked the pups and showed them so much love. We highly recommend Diana and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Laura took such great care of my baby Logan! She communicated very well and even sent me video showing how he was doing. Highly recommended! She was really flexible and accommodating, especially considering my very last-minute booking. Thank you, Laura!”
“Fantastic cat sitter. Available on short notice and took amazing care of 2 cats. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, easy to communicate with, and our cats loved her. She was very kind and loving to our boys. We had to go out of town on short notice and she was very open to our needs. Really appreciated will definitely be utilizing her services next time”
“Vanessa watched my Toki for me for 3 nights and she did the most amazing job! I like to keep Toki clean and she came back to me in very pristine condition. I feel so comfortable leaving Toki with Vanessa, I’ll definitely book again 🎉”

“Dobby has stayed with Rachel for day boarding and house boarding. And it’s always a positive experience for both Dobby and myself. Dobby has lots of friends to play with at Rachel’s house. And I get regular updates on Dobby via pictures and videos and texts. I appreciate Rachel’s help and will be asking her for dog boarding/ daycare in future too.”
“Dutch came home happy and clearly well taken care of. Pictures and updates were sent daily and Carrie was very communicative. I appreciate them for caring for Dutch and taking such good care of him.”
“Jessica was wonderful with our senior dog, Happy. He has dementia and requires extra patience, and she handled everything with so much care and compassion. Her communication was great, and her genuine kindness gave us real peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again”
“It is our first time boarding our dog, so we were a bit nervous, but Soonok was amazing! Our dog likes to walk outside, and Soonok brought him out for walks and even updated us with photos and videos. We appreciate Soonok being communicative and for taking great care of our dog. 5 stars for sure!”
“Denise watched our dog for a week over the holidays. She was easily one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she was experienced and thoughtful. When we arrived for the meet and greet, she already had water set out and dog toys ready. She asked detailed questions about our dog’s routine and behavior. It was obvious she genuinely wanted to create the best possible environment for him. While we were away, Denise sent more photos and updates than we’ve ever received from a sitter, which we truly appreciated! It helped ease the anxiety I always feel when leaving our dog behind. When we picked him up, he didn’t even seem excited to see us. I’m convinced this was because he was having such a great time that he didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be booking with Denise again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Beach
Monique was a loving, caring, and responsible sitter for our 1.5 year-old Mini Poodle, Kiki. Monique sent us Kiki updates and photos every day... even more during the first days when we were most anxious. The photos and updates showed Kiki playing with Monique's kids, snuggling with them on the sofa, enjoying her treats, and going on walks. That reassurance was much appreciated! Monique's house is neat and clean, in a nice neighborhood, with a secured backyard, park space nearby, and lots of nearby places to walk to. Kiki came home in high spirits and weight-neutral. Overall, this is a great sitter and a great place for Kiki when we're away on vacation.
If you are looking for someone trustworthy to leave your precious pet with, look no further! Magdalena took such good care of our dog while we were away. She was also very thoughtful and kept us updated with cute pictures. I could tell our dog had a good time with her family. I'll definitely be using Magdalena's help again.
Shannon took care of our nearly 14-year-old chihuahua for a week while we were away on our babymoon, and I truly could not have asked for a better sitter. Our little guy requires lifelong medication twice a day and occasionally experiences seizure symptoms, so finding someone we could fully trust was incredibly important to us. Shannon was absolutely amazing. She stayed perfectly on schedule with his medications, took such great care of his feeding routine, and was very accommodating to all of our requests. She also sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What impressed me most was how naturally she understood our chihuahua’s personality and needs almost immediately, without us having to explain much at all. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m so grateful we found Shannon, and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our precious little guy.💕 We were truly able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.
She took such amazing care of my dog for 5 days, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease and when we picked him up, he was so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the dogs like her own. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again. This was my first experience with Rover, and leaving my puppy. Highly, highly recommend!
Jeff and Tammy did a wonderful job caring for my senior girl Addie. At 11 years old I am nervous leaving her in general but with immediate family overseas I was gone longer than ever this time and needed a caring gentle home for her. They are experienced and loving and provided her with the same routine she has at home. Their sweet senior dog Nicholas was a good match for her as she doesn't usually enjoy overly rambunctious pups. They administered her eye drops twice a day and gave her the walks she loves. I got regular updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Jeff and Tammy.
Shona is so great with our pup, Lucy. She is communicative with us and is always taking Lucy for walks and to the park. Lucy also loves her little pup, Fig, who is such a sweetheart. We are grateful to have someone as loving and trustworthy as Shona and we know Lucy enjoys her getaways there as well!
I have left my sweet dogs at Jon’s for years. He and his wife are dog whisperers. They know dogs. They got my tiny very fearful 7 pound dog comfortable with other dogs. That’s something I had been trying to do forever. When I pull up to their house my dogs start getting excited and wagging their tails. They run right up to his door and scratch to get in! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Kayla watched my dog for an extended stay recently and was amazing. She did a fantastic job of sending me updates throughout my pups stay with lots of pictures included; I could tell from the photos that he settled right in and was very comfortable with her. I will definitely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sunset Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sunset Beach on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,152 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunset Beach. 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.
94% of Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach.
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 Sunset Beach 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.
