“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!”
“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.”
“Lisa and her husband Phillip and their 2 children were absolutely fantastic. They treated our Chloe like she was a member of their family and took excellent care of her. Look no further you should use Lisa and her family to board and care for your precious dog.”
“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.”
“Laura and her family are terrific! Snowball is always so happy there! She has a great time and returns home happy and healthy. Snowball has been to Laura's home many times and will go many times more in the future!”
“My dog was in great care for 5 days with Michael and Lara. I was always updated on my dog’s day and had no problems at all. He had such a great time during his stay. Highly recommend Michael and Lara to give your dog the best care possible.”
“Corinne & Louis were FANTASTIC!!! Cooper has never been boarded or stayed with anyone other than family. They allowed Cooper to sleep on their bed as well as the sofa which is just like home. Cooper was walked twice a day, had belly rubs, play time & was even given his midnight snack. This is the first time using Rover and Corinne & Louis were the first sitters with great reviews to appear with availability. Had a meet & greet a couple weeks prior to drop off. We were so elated with them, the size of yard for Cooper to run around in even though he prefers to be indoors. They sent us pictures & kept us notified at least twice daily. Upon pick up we were given a picture and report card for Coopers behavior. We will definitely use them again & will recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Corinne & Louis for taking such great care of our Coopie.”
“Melanie was a wonderful pet sitter for my lil guy. She was very responsive, sent updates and lovely pictures. Definitely would recommend and will be returning in the future. Thanks Melanie!”
“Once again, thank you so much! Maria does an amazing job watching Hercules and I have full trust in her care for him especially having to provide multiple medications for him. Hercules always comes back so happy from staying with her! Appreciate you so much! Looking for forward to Hercules’ next stay!”
“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!”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
“Marilyn and family did an outstanding job with Chowder. I know she worked overtime because Chowder is a puppy with lLOTS of energy and is still in training. He came home happy and she even taught him a new trick. I’m really thankful for the incredible care they took of my puppy and for the daily updates she provided. It really put me at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
“Thanks Alvaro for taking care my Rocky - Maltipoo puppy awesome. I strong recommend him as he daily twice sent me photos of my puppy, if any questions if I ask he replies promptly. I love the place, care and behavior. Glad I chosen him. Keep it up nice work. 😻”
“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!”
“Ellie always has the best time with Sarah and Max. We never worry about her as we know that she is with a kind and loving person. Thank you for another special time for Ellie!”
“Alexandra is the best of the best! She is a major dog lover and made us feel very comfortable while our baby Timber was spending time with her. We received daily pictures and updates, as well as ensured any of our special requests were met. Her home is clean and secure, which is a major plus! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“She is not only a great Dog sitter but an amazing human. I don't think I could leave my dog with anyone but her, especially since my dog is getting older. I think the first day back from the pickup, Bailey missed her and all the walks she takes her on. Marlo is one and only go to person for Bailey.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
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!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Surfside is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,595 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 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 Surfside 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 Surfside home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
