About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 15 years old. Friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with puppies, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I have two friendly Poodles and a Pomeranian and always do slow, controlled introductions to make sure every pet feels comfortable. If a dog prefers space, I can easily separate them. I also offer crate care if needed and follow your pet’s routine closely. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jolie was great with my two pit mixes. They loved staying with her and enjoyed the attention and backyard! She sent regular updates with some great pics of my girls. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Bob and Keri are great! I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book with them again. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they provided plenty of updates, photos, and messages throughout my dog's stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and received lots of attention. The updates showed how comfortable and happy my dog was, and I could tell they genuinely cared about making sure all of my dog's needs were met. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter”
“Allyssa, her husband, and their puppy Ezzy were very friendly and took good care of Dreamsicle (cat) during the 8 night stay. Allyssa provided pictures & updates throughout the whole stay. They have a nice clean home & super sweet people. Will definitely have them sit for my cat again!! Highly recommend.”
“Our little dog, Miss JJ had a wonderful time with Nancy! Nancy sent us photos and emails during our travels, and we loved hearing from her. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Bailey Too obviously had a good time at Lynn’s home. In the pictures she sent daily showed him engaged in his favorite activity: sleeping in the sunshine. He did play with her “Bella” to play a bit. I believe Lynn did a great job in caring for my older dog and will use her service again.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs and have also helped neighbors by walking, feeding, and looking after their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time throughout the day. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard, and morning and evening walks are already part of my routine—I’d be happy to have your dog join me! I also spend time in my garden each day, so dogs can enjoy the yard and keep me company while I’m outside. Our home is active, loving, and a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of family life. Safety and trust are very important to me. Before booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions. In my home, dogs receive plenty of attention and supervised outdoor time in our fully fenced yard. Gates are always kept securely closed, and introductions to my children are calm and supervised so everyone feels comfortable. I follow each owner’s directions for meals, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left secure and just as I found it. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful care my two fur babies received. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell they were in loving, capable hands. She treated them as if they were her own—giving them constant attention, playing with them, and allowing them the freedom of her home. She also continuously sent us pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and let us see just how happy and comfortable they were. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals truly showed in every interaction. I am beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate pet care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balm
Rebekah and her husband were great. From the initial meet-and-greet and throughout the entire boarding period their primary interest was in making sure Lexi was comfortable and safe. We were provided with daily pictures showing how Lexi and their 2 dogs had bonded and were enjoying each other's company. Because of Lexi's inquisitive nature, she got into something she shouldn't have - since it could have potentially been dangerous, Owen immediately took Lexi to the emergency vet clinic where she was very well cared for. Throughout this time, they kept us completely updated as to what was happening. Ultimately, Lexi had no ill effects, and her boarding experience was completed without further incident. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about the comfort and safety of your pet, I highly recommend Rebekah and Owen.
As always, leaving my babies with Seda and Aron is a pleasure. They feel comfortable when I leave them and they look happy and smell great when I pick them up. They are spoiled just like at home. I always get pictures through their stay to know and see how they’re doing and if I have a question I always get a prompt answer. Everyone in the at the house treats them like they were their own dogs. I will continue to use their services whenever I need to. Thank you again for such great care.! ❤️

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Balm is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,160 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Balm. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Balm 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 Balm 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 Balm.
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 Balm. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Balm 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.
