“Kerri is the absolute best! When my family and I were going through an emergency situation, she was always there, always kind, and helped us tremendously. I have complete peace of mind, knowing that my dog is being watched by Kerri. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“This was our dog’s fourth stay at Marie’s and all went wonderful. Our dog enjoys walking with Marie and Napo, running in her fenced backyard and playing with plenty of tennis balls. Our dog has sensitive eyes and we really appreciated Marie applying his eyedrops daily. We picked him up happy and healthy. Thank you Marie!”
“So great. Zero loves coming here, he’s been boarded here many times. They respect your rules and boundaries & feeding preferences with your pet and they give him healthy attention.”
“Briana always creates an atmosphere where our cat instantly feels at home, which gives us peace of mind when out of town. We are repeat clients and appreciate having a second home for our cat. Thank you again for excellent care!”
“April took care of our dog Bimmer during the holidays and updated us with photos throughout her stay. Bimmer seemed like she had fun and I’m glad she had some playmates as well. Thank you for caring for her while we’re away. Will definitely recommend you to friends and request you next time!”
“Christy was amazing with Kimber. I will definitely be a return customer as Kimber loved spending time with Christy and her family. Christy was very organized and professional with Kimber.”
“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!!”
“I can’t recommend them enough! I was running late for drop off, and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible, which immediately put my mind at ease. When I needed to extend my pickup time, they were just as understanding and made the entire process completely stress free. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and go above and beyond to make things easy for pet parents. I already have another reservation booked for my puppy, and they’ll definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward. Amazing people, exceptional service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member!”
“Amazing and very thoughtful. We had an emergency last minute and had to leave town and Vanessa was able to care for our puppy and help leash train her. I would recommend her to anyone that asks me to.”
“Emily was incredible with my dog Abby! Daily communication along with pictures, she made Abby feel at home and made my vacation wonderful because she was so well cared for!!! Thank you so very much!!”
“Charlie had a wonderful time. He got treatment like home. Carl and Nancy are wonderful and they are taking great care of dogs. Charlie also had a lot of fun with theirs 3 very friendly dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Omar was absolutely amazing with my dog! Super attentive, reliable, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. My pup who is a timid felt so comfortable around him, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. And I have to say on top of being a fantastic dog sitter, Omar is also very handsome, which definitely doesn’t hurt! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet care”
“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!”
“My dog was with Carla for almost 2 weeks. I was nervous leaving her for so long, especially with another dog (Nugget) in the house. My dog did fine though. Carla was very patient with her. I appreciated all of the updates, and her prompt responses. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying about my dog.”
“This is the second time we've booked with Ashleigh and we are so glad we did! Ashleigh is very attentive and not only gives daily updates with pictures but also makes sure to communicate when there might be a health issue to keep an eye on! She also remembered our preferences from the previous stay as well as what our dog likes 😊 definitely recommend booking a stay here for your fur baby!”
“Fahriye and her husband were super amazing with our two, energetic little dogs! Our sitter originally canceled on us last minute the day before our trip and were extremely thankful they were able to watch Charlie and Gojo for us! She sent us updates while we were on our trip and the cutest photos! Doggies came home with a huge smile on their faces and took a huge, long quiet nap afterwards, which shows they definitely had a blast! Didn’t realize until I got home, but they even gifted us such a thoughtful, adorable dog waste bag holder with Charlie and Gojo’s name and face as a sticker from the photos she sent us! I was obsessed with these and switched it out the other one immediately lol. Would definitely book with them again! Thank you again guys!”

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.
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 $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.
