“Our chocolate lab had a wonderful time with Emily! They sent pictures often and she always looked loved and that she was having a great time. She gave us great peace of mind and would definitely not hesitate to use her again!!”
“Another great stay!! Lauren was the best sitter we could ask for. Yogi was so excited when we pulled up so you can tell he has fun during his stays. Lauren originally wasnt going to be able to keep him but a slight pickup time adjustment and she was willing to help us out without much advance notice. Thank you so much!”
“We've been fortunate to have Rita and Brian as our go-to dog sitters for the past couple of years, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the care they've provided for our two fur-babies, Charlotte and Chuckie. Every stay with them is like a vacation for our dogs, filled with adventures at local parks and trails, daily treats, and ample cuddle time with their warm and charming family. Rita's daily updates and pictures are a highlight for us, showcasing all the fun and attention Charlotte and Chuckie receive. It's evident that Rita and Brian treat our dogs as if they were their own, providing exceptional care and affection. We have complete trust in Rita and Brian and are so grateful to have found such wonderful dog sitters. Their dedication and genuine love for our dogs make them feel like an extended part of our family. We will undoubtedly continue to use their outstanding services and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable, loving care for their pets. Thank you, Rita and Brian, for always going above and beyond for Charlotte and Chuckie!”
“John and Shannon are amazing. They love our dog Bella and treat her with such kindness and respect. They are our favorite dog sitters and they are Bella’s favorite as well. Thank you, John and Shannon.”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Loni was amazing and I would 100% recommend her if you need someone to love on your pet while you are away. She sent daily updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind that our sweet Dash was being well taken care of. Best experience with leaving our dog when we had to go out of town.”
“Our boys were so well taken care of and accepted as members of the family. We received regular pics and notes about our digs that allowed us to stay connected but be assured they were happy. The home was clean and super dog friendly. We would definitely hire again !”
“Liwei was absolutely incredible! She sent frequent updates and clearly took amazing care of our two dogs. Both our pups have anxiety but Liwei and her daughter made sure they knew all the things our dogs needed to feel safe and comfortable for their week stay. We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“Tyra took great care of Rocky! She was always responsive, kept me updated throughout his stay, and regularly sent photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Rocky had a great time playing with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed. It was clear that he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I would definitely book with Tyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”
“Benny had a great time with Brittany and her family! We appreciate the photo and video updates so much--it was so nice to know that he was having fun and being well cared for while we were away!!!”
“We had a great experience with Megan and Jay! They provided frequent updates with pictures. Luna came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again.”
“Zach and his wife treated our pups like their own! We were regularly updated with videos and pictures, so we never had to wonder how they were. Can’t recommend them enough.”
“Kayla was amazing!! We left our anxious Bernedoodle puppy with her, and he was so at ease in the environment. He was fully loved by her family, and made playmates with her dogs. She was great about sending pics or videos each day, and getting him plenty of time outside on walks or in their yard. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. We will be using her many times for boarding this upcoming year. It brings such peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
“Pam was so good to my doggie, I think he may have been disappointed to leave!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She was very attentive to details and was very loving and comforting with him!”
“Delilah made a great adjustment into Scott’s schedule and did very well under his care! Will definitely use Scott again. Enjoyed the frequent communication and pictures Very happy with Rover!”
“We have a 8 month old dog who had a blast with Benthany and her husband! When we arrived she had 4 dogs waiting happily to play with our puppy. They even have a backyard for her to run free. She had so much fun that she slept the entire next day. Our puppy sometimes gets lonely because of how spoiled she is and they even let her out of the cage and layed with her on the couch in the middle of the night to comfort her. They were incredible and so welcoming. Anytime we need this service again we will be using them! Thanks so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Africa
Thank you for taking such good care of our Norman. We loved receiving the pictures and knowing he was able to be part of your family for a few days. It was cute when we left that the kids came by and seemed a little sad to see him leaving. He came home totally exhausted, thanks again!
Kristine and her family watched Remi while we were away on vacation for 5 days. We received daily updates with pictures, so I never had to worry about how she was doing. We felt comfortable that she was in good hands during her stay, and I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Savanah was fantastic! She was able to board Sugar last minute and took care of her like she was her own. Sugar always has anxiety when boarded, but seemed so happy and relaxed with Savanah. We appreciated the updates and photos she provided to us, as well! We will definitely take Sugar back. Thank you, Savanah! 💖
Second stay, and somehow even better than the first! This was our second time boarding Rocky and Koi with Nursah, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear they were exactly where they wanted to be — tails wagging, no looking back at us whatsoever (humbling, honestly). Nursah takes such incredible care of them. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, not just as a job but as a real passion. We felt completely at ease the entire time, knowing they were in a safe, loving home environment rather than a kennel. Rocky and Koi came back happy, calm, and well-loved.
Kelsey was truly fantastic. She took amazing care of our two doodles and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent great pictures every day, kept us updated, and clearly gave them tons of attention. The dogs were happy, relaxed, and absolutely loved hanging out with her for a few days. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would strongly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups.
Rachel and Jeff were such great sitters for our dog while my family was on vacation! They kept us updated on how our dog was, sent photos, were quick to communicate with and were flexible. I know our dog loved being them. I highly recommend, I know we’ll be using them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Africa is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 922 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Africa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Africa 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 Africa 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 Africa.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Africa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Africa 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 OH 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
