“April was very patient and accommodating regarding our schedule which changed several times. She took great care of my dogs while they were with her and sent me daily updates w/ pictures. Communication was excellent. Thank you April!”
“Excellent! Very good communication before as well as updates and photos while Rosie was staying. Dropping here off and picking her up was effortless. Rosie had a good time and I would not hesitate to call on Christine in the future.”
“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!”
“They were absolutely amazing. Mimi wasn’t feeling well when I left. She also gets anxious when I leave which doesn’t help her stomach issues. They did everything they could do to make her feel better. They constantly kept me updated. They sent a lot of photos and videos. I definitely recommend them. Can’t wait to use them again.”
“Brianna is awesome with Princess Sabrina! She looked after her over the Christmas period as we were in the UK. She sent me pictures and a lovely video of Sabrina playing with some pups too. I know Sabrina was in great hands!”

“Emily was great from the very beginning all the way through the booking! Went out of her way to do a meet and greet since my little pug is somewhat anxious, sent pix and updates every day and took great care of him. Will def use Emily the next time I need a sitter! Would recommend!”

Emily was great from the very beginning all the way through the booking! Went out of her way to do a meet and greet since my little pug is somewhat anxious, sent pix and updates every day and took great care of him. Will def use Emily the next time I need a sitter! Would recommend!
Omar did great with Lux. He kept me updated with pictures and communication. Nothing excessive just the perfect amount. He let me know of anything that’s was happening outside of her regular schedule that I reported which was a couple of accidents. His home was very dog friendly and it looked extremely comfortable for Lux. You can always tell things about a person based on their animals and his boxer came right out just as calm and basically said hi to Lux and went about his business. I felt very comfortable leaving Lux and Omar was very accommodating when I was running a few minutes behind for pickup. Thank you Omar!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alafaya on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,526 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.
