“Heidi was very awesome to work with! My boys came back super happy and even appeared to be a little sad they had to leave Heidi which lets me know she took amazing care of them! Great communication and was super responsive sending updates and pictures all throughout their stay either her. Will definitely be rebooking with Heidi in the future!”
“Absolutely lovely! She took excellent care of my babies and was in constant communication with me. I can certainly recommend Kim for anyone looking for a loving sitter.”
“Jada was absolutely amazing. I have never boarded my dog before and he has quite a bit of separation anxiety which made me very stressed for my trip. She completely took that stress away and sent me many updates with pictures. She was also very quick to respond. I will definitely be using her for any boarding needs in the future. Her help before the trip and updates while on my trip completely eased my mind. You can tell she genuinely cares for the animals she’s watching as if they were her own. I would give more stars if I could. Great experience.”
“Jocelynn and Kathryn took great care of our senior ladies on short notice. We received photo updates and the girls came back to us in great shape. We sincerely appreciate their help and the peace of mind we enjoyed while away.”
“Jose took very good care of our labs. I would highly recommend his services. He went above and beyond when our return was delayed, he brought our dogs over to our home for us and we so much appreciated it.”
About: I’m a veterinary technician with hands-on experience from working in a shelter, caring for both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from small breeds to large working dogs, as well as reactive, rescue, and more independent or “grumpy” pets. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for years and have had dogs my whole life. I’m comfortable with routines, medications if needed, and reading animal behavior to keep your pet safe and stress-free. Happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate daytime visits, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and any specific needs your pet may have. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Melissa did a great job taking take of my dog! Her golden retriever Daisy and my dog had lots of fun together, and I will most definitely book with Melissa again in the future.”
“My dog had the best time at Kelsie's for a week! She sent me daily updates and he looked so happy running around her big fenced in yard. She was flexible with pickup and drop off which made booking with her super convenient and she worked from home so she was always with my pup which I know he loved. I will definitely use Kelsie again in the future!!”
“Darlene was very welcoming from the start. She is experienced with dogs and is a real dog lover. My Nene seemed very happy when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Darlene and will definitely use again in the future.”
About: I have always loved dogs and been a dog owner. My 9 pound Havapoo and I will make your dogs stay quite enjoyable. I have been watching dogs in my home for approximately 4 years. We go for walks twice a day or more if needed. They are fed 2 times a day unless schedule is different for individual dog. For the most part,I am home with dogs. I occasionally go out for up to 4 hours at a time for errands or sports. The dogs are being monitored on a camera that I control to follow them. Depending on the dog, they are in playpen or left to roam with limits throughout my condo while I am gone. I have various ways of separating dogs if need be. I have a large metal enclosure (playpen) used to separate for feeding or playtime alone. No need to bring toys or beds as I have many. I live in a very safe gated community, almost all adults.
“Sam is an empathetic, knowledgeable sitter. He gave my boys the attention they needed and the discipline. His property is perfect for dogs and he gave me timely updates and pics! I highly recommend him.”
“He is awesome. They are so welcoming and made sure our furbabies are taking cared off. It was our very first time to leave them to someones house so we are a bit worried but everything went well. They had a blast. We are about to book them again for our next trip. Thank you guys so much.”
“Velvet and her mom did a wonderful job keeping us updated throughout our entire trip on our 2 dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our girls were in good hands! We will definitely rebook next time we're going out of town.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ave Maria is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 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 Ave Maria 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 Ave Maria 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 Ave Maria.
<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 Ave Maria 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.
