“Marie was kind, attentive, and communicative! She consistently provided updates on Maggie May’s comfort level. She also immediately reached out if she identified any behavior of concern. She even went out to buy pumpkin for Maggie’s upset stomach because I had neglected to pack some for her. Thank you so much Marie for taking such great care of my baby! ❤️”
“Our dog Killian had a blast! He was so tired when we picked him up since he had so many friends to play with! April sent regular updates with pictures and it made us smile knowing our fur baby was in good hands!”
“We had an awesome experience with Kayla! Communication was clear and consistent, and we got regular updates and photos that really put us at ease. Yuna was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable the entire time. You can tell Kayla genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Cristal was great with our family dog, Marco. She was very quick to respond and was flexible with meeting Marco before our scheduled boarding so that he was better acquainted to her. She checked in everyday with pics and updates on how he’s doing. 10/10 would recommend to board your fur babies with her!”
“Mindy and her family took amazing care of my dog while we were away. We were gone for about 10 days and she gave me updates as well as the cutest pictures of my dog while he was under her care. My dog needed to be given medication for a recurring ear allergy and Mindy was capable of giving it to him for which I am super grateful. My dog also had a follow up appointment and she worked with me to make sure he could still go and be seen. She also has an amazing and well kept backyard for outside play time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter! Thank you Mindy!”
“Crixus absolutely loves staying with Al and Steph—this was his second visit with them! They take such great care of him and always send updates and pictures, which I truly appreciate. Every time I pick him up, he’s happy and well cared for. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Ms Ariana’s beachy backyard with doggy door access is so cool. Ariana’s drop off time options saved me, literally, as I had to get to the ER quickly where they ran tests and admitted me for 4 days. She sent me photos throughout the day. What was also so wonderful was the Pac she has there that immediately welcomed Ms Belle who now has new forever friends. Thank you, Ms Ariana!!🐕🙏🥰”
“Lee-Ann is a pet sitting ROCKSTAR! She went out of her way to not only accommodate Lucy, but also an unavoidable change in my travel plans. She sent tons of pictures showing Lucy having fun and clearly has a passion for animals. I highly recommend her!”
“Vanessa provided exceptional care for our dog Bucky during our 10 day vacation. We received lots of photos and videos and she was so responsive to any messages or questions we had. We will absolutely reach out to her if we need any care for Bucky again!”
“Overall great experience. Quick to respond and took the initiative to send pictures everyday. The home was beautiful and I felt very safe leaving my puppy for a few nights.”
“Did a great job watching our senior cat while we were away at Disney World and did a phenomenal job. Excellent communication and star treatment for our older kitty. Super reliable and highly recommended!”
“Shannon and Chris were so sweet to our Mochi. They both made an effort to get to know him at meet and greet. We could tell right away that they're animal lovers and felt very comforted that our puppy has someone who actually cares for him take care of him while we're away. Mochi seemed very happy when we picked him up and Shannon and Chris also gave us a run-through of his day with them.”
“Amazing amazing amazing! My baby boy is always so happy to see Iliana’s family. My dog is quite an energetic puppy and they know how to handle him perfectly . This is my baby’s second family 💜 thank you for caring so much”
“Deborah was the best! We used her services when we were traveling thru and flew out of Orlando. Buddy loved her - lots of walks and dog park and cuddles. She was great about sending pics and videos - and messaged updates frequently. Highly recommend - I feel like we need to plan a trip back to Orlando so we can use her again!”
About: Hi everyone! Thank you for coming by and giving me the opportunity to care for your pet! Luckily , I work from home so your pet will have a ton of time to play, get belly rubs, and keep their tails wagging’. Consider this your pet’s second home while you’re away! :) I currently work from home so I have plenty of breaks to make sure your pet is comfortable and wagging its tail while you are away! In my home, pets enjoy a safe, cozy space with constant supervision, playtime, walks, and affection. I follow each pet’s routine, diet, and comfort needs. In clients’ homes, I ensure pets feel secure by maintaining their familiar environment, sticking to their schedules, offering enrichment, and keeping communication open with daily updates.
“Nina was absolutely wonderful with Brimley! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout her stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Brimley felt comfortable and happy with her, and we came home to a very well-cared-for pup. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Renee was so great with my dog! She reached out a few days before the booking to confirm that she was so excited to have Velma stay with her for a bit. Her toddler was so sweet with my (often overly affectionate) pup and Velma was definitely sad to leave Renee's house! Would recommend her to anyone and if I am in the area again in need of a sitter I would not hesitate to book her again.”

We had a wonderful experience with Omar. From start to finish very reliable, caring, and attentive to our dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing our furry babies were in great hands. We truly appreciated their dedication and communication. We absolutely recommend them to others and will be using their services again in the furture.
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!
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.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alafaya is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night.

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.
96% of sitters in Alafaya 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 Alafaya home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
