“Isao & Rezairyl made me feel very comfortable while my Gigi was with them. They send photos and updates daily. Gigi is a senior dog and since they also have seniors, they knew exactly what kind of environment she needed to be in and knew exactly how to take care of her. Gigi also got an upset stomach on the first day of drop off, and they reassured me that she was ok and knew exactly how to help fix that problem. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely book with them again.”
“Heather did a wonderful job of taking care of both of our fur babies (cat and dog). She went out of her way to bring the dog for the cat visits so the our cat can play with and have the company of our dog. She also spent time playing with both of our animals. I found Heather to be extremely responsive answering questions and sending pictures. She also showed us a better way to give our cat his meds and took the time to send us a video. We will definitely have Heather as our go to for both of our fur babies because we know when Heather is taking care of them, they are in the best hands possible!”
“Sunny took great care of our dog who can be quite shy with new people. Ralphie was in great hands and it really allowed us to enjoy our trip. She was very responsive and gave detailed updates. Ralphie will for sure be back!!”
“Laura was great! Her house is a perfect place for any dog to stay. Laura kept us updated and was flexible on pick up timing. Will definitely be using again when we take our next vacation!”
“I was nervous since this is our first time leaving Oliver with someone however Thai is nice and sent updates in the AM and PM for the dog boarding service. Also, she responds fast. Oliver can be needy in terms of attention and she let Oliver sit on her lap on the couch and at the dinner table (not necessary but he really appreciates it). Even successfully introduced him to another dog! Will book again. Thank you!”
“Diana is absolutely amazing and so sweet. Our babies loved her and we know they did because they weren’t stressed at all when we picked them up. Usually after staying at dog hotels our dogs would be so uncomfortable and upset with us. With Diana they were so happy. Diana’s care was like home away from home with them. She checked in with us everyday. Highly recommend Diana if you want your pups to feel safe and at home. We will use her anytime we are away. She’s the best.”
“This was Duggan’s second stay with Rachel but his first overnight ever! She took very good care of him and sent us lots of updates. He made a new dog friend and came back exhausted from all the play time and walks. He passed out before we even got home!”
“We have been continuously pleased with our experience with Monique and her family. Our dog gets plenty of exercise, cuddles, and love with them and always comes home happy and tired in the best way. Monique is flexible and SUPER communicative — constantly sending updates and photos without me even having to ask. Look no further for a great dog sitter :)”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Amber was extremely attentive to our pup and kept us abreast of her stay. We felt that our dog was in caring, loving and capable hands and gave us the peace of mind you hope to get with a sitter.”
“Michael and Lara were so amazing during Pita’s stay! Our sweet girl can be quite anxious and has a lot of energy to burn and she came back home so relaxed and tired after a wonderful stay with Michael and Lara. I got frequent updates and pictures which helped me really feel at ease and able to be present at the event I was traveling for. Stellar communication and care, would absolutely book with them again!”
“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 🎉”
“Wendy and his family took such thoughtful care of our Oakley. They made sure to send photos and updates, and I always had assurance that our pup was in great hands. Thank you so much, and I look forward to having Oakley stay with you again!”
“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!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Bowie! She was great at communicating and sent us updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Bowie had so much fun playing with her dogs, and it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. Jennifer is wonderful with dogs, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Bowie was in such good hands. We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again!”
“Denise is fantastic. I have a challenging dog and she was knowledgable, personable, and made me feel at ease. She asked the right questions and my dog loves her. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jacquelyn was great with my senior girls, who can be a bit high maintenance! They came home happy and as if they were on their own vacation, which spoke to hiw much love and care they received.”

I have been bringing my two chihuahua mix dogs here for years. When I pull up to their house and open my car door, my dogs run to the house and wait to be let inside. That’s saying something. One of my dogs (10 lbs) is scared of people and other dogs. First, he runs to get inside. Second, when I pick him up he runs up with the other dogs and is completely comfortable as part of the pack.
Megan and her family were so kind and took great care of Nixon! He can be a really picky eater and nervous in new environments, so she even hand-fed him when he refused to eat. Their home is clean and smells amazing. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Megan’s services again. Thanks Megan!
It felt good knowing my dogs were somewhere safe and in a loving environment while we were on vacation. We were sent pictures and videos and knew our dogs were being well taken care of. So much better than an impersonal experience with tons of other dogs a boarding place would have. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give a 10 star review I would. Drew was an absolute pleasure to meet and a true godsend watching our dog Callie. We are his first Rover client - however, I was able to obtain two amazing referrals from very qualified people who work for a local dog shelter. They made me feel very comfortable hiring Drew because Drew volunteers at that shelter and they knew of his steadfast commitment to the health and well-being of animals. Drew took really good care of our dog Callie and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Dogs are a big part of Drew’s life and he just seems like a really good human. Don’t hesitate to hire him…you and your dog will be very lucky.
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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Sunset Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
