“Andrea was great! I reached out looking for boarding due to a last minute work obligation and she was able to keep Oakley for me. Overall very understanding and asked the right questions! Oakley seemed like he was having so much fun in the videos she sent! I would 100% book again. 🐾🦴”
“Nicole watched our 1 year old golden Luna for a weekend and I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! She sent us continuous updates with lots of pictures and was extremely responsive. She made sure to follow all of my instructions and made me feel less anxious the moment we initially met. I can tell that Luna had such a wonderful time with her in her home and was taken care of exactly the way I would want her to be. I have nothing but positive things to say about Nicole and recommend her to anyone who is in need of a dog sitter in the Pensacola area.”
“Linda was super hospitable as always. Rosie had the best time and enjoyed the play time with other pups. I appreciate Linda’s flexibility and willingness to make schedule adjustments. Look forward to our next trip.”
“Emily is wonderful because she has a peaceful and calm demeanor and she truly cares for your pet. I will definitely bring my dog, who is 14.5 years old, back to Emily to take care of her, when I come back for vacation. Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding care and support.”
“Cooper had a great time with Majorca and made a lot of new puppy friends! Majorca sent pictures everyday and kept my boy safe, fed and happy. Cooper was out of energy when I brought him home! Highly recommend!”
“Madison is amazing! She is so prompt with communication. She sent updates and pictures, and went above and beyond to love our dog and make us feel at ease while out of town! She loves animals and made the whole process easy! I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Leanna is incredible with stevie! I got lots of photos which I loved and stevie had so much fun having company. I would 100% recommend and will hopefully use her again in the future!”
“Staci and her family are absolutely wonderful! We felt super comfortable leaving our puppy, Baker, in their care. She sent us several cute pictures on our trip that made us smile. We 100% recommend her and hope to use her boarding services again in the future.”
“Wonderful sitter! Plenty of pics and videos of my dog playing, walking and resting. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Sami as she is so sweet and considerate. He had so much fun playing with her little dog! They even went on a nice trail hike together. 🥰”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 4 we recently just had to put down our 15 year old pit Bull. I have a 10 year old pit mix that I hold near my heart. I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard. I also have a friendly fur baby who would love making a new friend.
“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”
“Sheila did an outstanding job dogsitting our dog, Rudy - we never worried one minute about his care which was wonderful - so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And, especially, she kept in touch with us daily with photos and conversation. Was awesome!”
“Terri is absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant with leaving our baby with a stranger but that was quickly resolved after speaking with Terri, who even offered a meet & greet a few days prior to the booking. She is very quick and responsive to our questions and sent pictures and videos of our frenchie enjoying his time with her. She also has a pup named Zeus who is the chillest and sweetest dog ever. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs that I’ve raised from puppies. I started off dog sitting for my family and some friends, ranging from small to large and young to old. I have experience administering medications such as pills, supplements, and needles. I’ll treat your pup just like my own! I work full-time, so I am available to do drop-ins and walks on the weekends. I can board your pup at my home on any day of the week if they are good with other dogs and babies. My husband works from home most days, so boarded dogs will receive care throughout the day while I am at work. Dogs are never left alone more than 6 hours. For drop ins and walks- I’ll follow your care instructions and provide you updates/pictures. For boarded dogs- We have a large fenced yard for our dogs to run around and play together! Dogs are free to roam the house but can be crated if needed.
“This was our first time having a sitter for our little dog and Tracy was wonderful! She sent pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. She responded quickly to messages as well. Jax loved playing with her small dogs! She made our trip so much easier! I would definitely let Jax stay with her again! :)”
About: I have worked at a very large boarding facility for large/“aggressive” dogs!! i also have worked at an animal hospital in the past as a kennel tech taking care of cats,dogs and even a few exotics!! i’m currently switching jobs so the next week and a half i am fully available!! i normally wake up very early and can stay up late just in case if needed! i have a fenced in yard and i am very observant with your pet! i do have 2 large dogs of my own but they are super sweet and can be separated if needed!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Avalon Beach is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $62 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Avalon Beach 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 Avalon Beach 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 Avalon Beach.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avalon Beach. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Avalon Beach 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
