“Sara took the most incredible care of our pup. We got tons of great pictures of him daily and she provided wonderful updates. We even left with the cutest custom report card on his stay. I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone who is looking for a great place for their dog!! Thank you Sara and Zoe!”
“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!”
“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”
“I found Sunny in a pinch. She made me feel very at ease w leaving my 8 month old puppy. She shared great training advice and pictures of Frankie's stay. Her home is perfect for pets, especially the crate that she has for them to sleep in. I am over satisfied! Thank you again Sunny!!!”
“Laura and her family went beyond the expectations to care for our dog, Mars. My dog had separation anxiety and Laura did everything she could to make sure Mars was comfortable and happy. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—she was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog took to her right away. Diana kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Truly wonderful experience from start to finish!”
“Tammy Jeff are very kind people. They have a great house and backyard to host your pets. I received photos of my happy dog and if she could talk im sure she would tell me how much fun she had! Thanks Tammy and Jeff”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.
“Max & Zai are wonderful people! We feel so at ease leaving our most precious Psalm with them. We appreciate the updates, photos & videos. Thank you for always going above and beyond when taking care of our pup. Both of you are truly a blessing!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Shannon is wonderful. I’ve booked with her a few times now and I’m always glad I did. She’s great at sending updates, and is very responsive. I highly recommend her if you’re considering a new sitter ☺️”
“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!”
“Amazing! She took care of my dog for three weeks, sent pictures, stuck to her dietary needs, washed her crate and even gave her a bath at no extra charge! I highly recommend her services and would definitely hire her again! Thank you so much!”
“Marlo is the greatest! Great communication since the beginning we had a meet and greet to ensure all parties felt comfortable, she has a very special and unique gift to treat each dog according to their needs. I received a good amount of pics and videos everyday, all of them so adorable, she puts great effort into them and I felt totally safe by leaving my dog with her. As she said, I think they became a happy temporary family. I’m sure they had a great time, to be honest I think my dog misses her! I would definitely recommend Marlo for your dogs, I loved her energy and she went above and beyond taking care of mine!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
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.
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.
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 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 8,696 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.
