“Marie took care of my little dog for a month while I was out of the country. He had a fabulous vacation! She has a large fenced in yard and a gentle dog as a playmate. He got lots of playtime and cuddles and quiet space too. He even got some much needed training. :) She sent photos and videos and updates daily. It was comforting, being so far away for so long, to see him so happy. I'm sure he is already missing being there. I would highly recommend Marie as a pet sitter.”
“Another great stay with Sarahi and Leandro! Miles and I love you guys!! Thank you for always welcoming him in at the last minute and caring for him like he is one of your own!”
“April and her family is very attentive to my Marilyn and me because I txt her every day for updates and pictures she was in the best of hands. I will definitely continue to use her in the future.”
“Ive been a repeat client of Al’s for about 5 months now. I travel a lot so it was hard for me to find a sitter where I knew my fur baby was going to be well taken care of while i’m gone. But ive NEVER had a doubt with Al and Steph. My pup always feels at home with them. They send daily photos which give me peace of mind and even bathe her as needed. Al and Steph are very attentive and the love they provide every dog is unmatched. They are just simply the absolute best! I highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and loving sitters!!”

“Once again, Lexus never disappoints! As soon as I dropped my dog off for his third visit, he made himself right at home. From all the videos and pictures Lexus sends me, I can tell my pup is happy and comfortable during his entire stay. I always get my dog and all his stuff back clean and organized. She is also super attentive to all of his behaviors. My dog had some tummy issues during his stay and Lexus was super accommodating and did not hesitate to provide the extra care that was needed. I cannot recommend Lexus enough, she truly loves all the animals she cares for!”

Cristal took amazing care of my little Lily! I like to believe that dogs just know if a person has a good spirit or not, and Lily warmed up to Cristal pretty much immediately. Great communication and I can tell Cristal really cared for the well being of my dog. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our 1-year-old Golden Retriever, Sophia! She has SO much energy, and our sitter did an amazing job keeping her happy, entertained, and loved while we were away. We received pictures and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was so sweet seeing photos of Sophia cuddling with her, having fun playing in the yard, and getting updates about their walks and daily adventures. It was clear that Sophia was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and, most importantly, lots of love! Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup made us so grateful we found such a wonderful sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their furry family member. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️
Omar was amazing with Toby! He was very caring, responsible, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Toby with him. He kept me updated and I could tell Toby was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciate how kind and attentive he was. I would definitely recommend Omar to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog. Thank you so much, Omar!
I had a wonderful experience with Dylan! From the very beginning, he is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog as if she was his own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed the time spent with Dylan. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can trust to provide loving, attentive care for my dog. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
Briana did a great job boarding our dog, Rylie. This was the first time we used Rover, but it won't be the last. She was very responsive in communicating and so friendly. She sent lots of pictures and updates as well. Rylie looked very happy in the pictures during her stay with Briana.
Mya and her family did a fantastic job watching our Husky Zeus. He was with them for 8 days and she updated us daily by text and pictures. We had no worries at all knowing he was in good hands. We can’t thank her and her family enough for the wonderful time he spent there.
Thank you April and family for taking great care of our fur baby KYLO!!! He is an anxious high energy pup and we are so glad we found you!! We picked him up and he was happy and tired! We have found the perfect family to take care of Kylo when we go away!! Thank you!!
Our Bailey is now an older girl, but Cathy has been watching her when we travel for more than seven years. Bailey is always happy to stay with Cathy and does well with Cathy's dogs. Bailey always comes home happy and also is very affectionate with Cathy. What a wonderful puppy environment.
Tiffany and her family are so kind and genuine! It was the first time for me to leave my little dog and it went so well. She was so comfortable with them, played and had a wonderful time! The kids are precious and they were so kind and gentle with my dog who is so timid. I’m so thankful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alafaya on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,501 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alafaya. 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.
95% of Alafaya 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 Alafaya 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 Alafaya 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 Alafaya.
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 Alafaya 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 FL 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.
