“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.”

“We were so thankful to have Kayla watch our dog Jack while we were away for Thanksgiving. She went above and beyond—from timely updates to making sure he felt comfortable and cared for. Jack can be energetic and reactive at times, and she handled him with patience and professionalism. It is clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We returned home to a calm, happy dog, and we couldn’t ask for anything more. Kayla is fantastic, and we highly recommend her!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Josmar! She understood Susy perfectly from the very beginning and knew exactly how to give her the calm, gentle space she needs. Susy adored her I could see how comfortable and relaxed she felt the whole time. Truly the best sitter we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!”
“Toby had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! She kept us updated throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and made Toby feel right at home. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can honestly say Toby enjoyed his stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“We had to travel out of state for one week and we could not take Bowie with us. We had never left Bowie in the care of others outside of his home, so I was nervous about leaving Bowie. Carla not only took exceptional care of Bowie, she communicated with us daily including photos and texts. Carla is kind, competent, and professional. I cannot recommend her more highly!”
“Bruce kept my sweet 7 lb poodle mix, Lucy, for four nights prior to Thanksgiving. This is her third visit there, and she loves to go. Bruce makes sure she is well taken care of and any other dog he is keeping is friendly. Since she is so small, it was important to me to have someone who would really watch her carefully and be home with her throughout her stay. Bruce keeps me updated and send pics of what she is doing. I highly recommend him to others with small dogs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alafaya
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.
Lee-Anne was so wonderful with our dog Sophie! She took great care of her and was so helpful and understanding when Sophie had a last minute health issue. She sent lots of photos and videos and it was clear Sophie was very comfortable and enjoying her time there. We will definitely book again :)

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Alafaya
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alafaya on Rover is $38.85 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 2,546 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.
96% 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.
