“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!”
“We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!”
“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!”
“Wonderful person, she kept me updated the whole time (me and my husband were out for 5 days) Vanessa sent me pictures and videos everyday at all times. Will definitely be requiring her assistance in the future. Totzy misses her!”
“Leiani was great with my Vizsla! I love that she has a V around the same age too so my pup had a buddy! She knew exactly how to handle my baby…the velcroness and energy level. Leiani sent me pics/videos daily during their adventures. I highly recommend Leiani…esp to all the parents of “special” pointers like mine 🤣”
“Sunny is wonderful!!!! She is so sweet and loving! This was the 2nd time she has watched our beloved chihuahuas & the first time that their cousin stayed as we had a family vacation. We were all able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about them at all! She sent pictures and videos that made us all feel they were in the best hands possible. She is such a blessing!”
“Merve was a fantastic cat sitter! I highly recommend her. She was very patient, kind, and caring as my anxious kitty took a few days to warm up and get used to his new settings. She took amazing care of my cat, was very easy to communicate with, and I am so grateful as this was the longest amount of time I was ever away from my cat (3 weeks). Thank you, Merve!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that my senior pughuahua, Goldie Hawn, received from Isao and Rezairyl. They are truly "animal people," and they treated her like part of their "pack" and sent us photos/updates that assured us she was in good hands. They even made Goldie special treats and washed her little sweater once, since she stayed for over a week during the holidays. When we picked her up she was very calm and happy. Goldie and I couldn't recommend these amazing hoomans more!”
“My dog Lucy a large Goldendoodle loved her time spent with Jennifer . There were a couple of dogs for her to play with and she seemed really happy when we went to pick her up. She never stays with anyone so I’m very happy it went so well . Thank you Jennifer”
“We really appreciated Erin taking such great care of our dog, Finn! He felt right at home with her and her family. He had a blast with the other 4-legged visitors who were staying with her at the time. Finn looked so happy and exhausted in the photo updates from playing all day. Highly recommend! Finn will be a regular visitor with Erin :)”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. He cared for Bleu like his own and kept me updated with photos in a daily basis. He even was kind enough to meet prior to the boarding to socialize our dogs and ensure they got along. Definitely keeping Chris in mind for future dog sitting 😊”
“I can’t say enough great things about Diana. My dogs felt right at home from the start, and it was clear they were treated with love and care the entire time. I received updates and photos, and seeing how happy and comfortable they were gave me total peace of mind. It truly felt like a home-away-from-home for them. I highly recommend Diana and will definitely be booking again!”
“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”
“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.”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
“Here's a thoughtful message you could use: --- Dear Rachel, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary care you provided for Remington and Shaba. Your kindness and attention to Remi's medical needs truly went above and beyond. Knowing my pups were in such capable and loving hands gave me immense peace of mind. Thank you so much for your compassion and dedication. Respectfully, Rekha, Remi and Shaba”
“Kim and Matthew were excellent caretakers for our pup for a one night stay at their home! We had never used Rover before and we could not have been more pleased. They treated our girl like their own and sent us pictures of her relaxing comfortably which really put our minds at ease. They also have a 10 year old son who played with her. If you are looking for a warm, friendly, responsible and communicative family to care for your pet, look no further! 10/10 highly recommend!!”
“Megan and her family were great! Megan sent me updates throughout the weekend to let me know how things were going. When Remy got dirty from playing outside she gave her bath. Remy came home tired and happy!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Surfside is $63

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!
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.
Kim and Matt were great to Jellybean and provided a lot of pictures and updates! Unfortunately Jellybean did not handle being in a new environment well, but it was no fault of Kim and Matt. They continued to provide a lot of walks, attention, and great care to Jellybean despite her unexpected behavior. I would highly recommend Kim and Matt to anyone looking for highly attentive and caring sitters! They are truly the nicest family and I feel absolutely terrible about Jellybean’s unexpected behavior with them. They handled her extremely well and I wish them the best of luck in their dog-sitting endeavors because they’re such wonderful people!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Surfside on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,637 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Surfside. 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 Surfside 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 Surfside 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 Surfside 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 Surfside.
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 Surfside 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.
