“Shelly did a great job taking my dog for 5 whole days and sending pictures daily. I did not have to worry about him at all. He had other dogs to keep him company and I will definitely contact Shelly again for special care of my boy for future trips.”
“Jonathan and Ally were such a good fit for my Aussie/Heeler, Kovu. I felt good seeing they had watched other high energy dogs, and while Kovu is super sweet, she is very timid at first. She settled right in, and I knew she felt safe and at home when they shared that she slept in bed with them. They have a fenced in turf area, and a separate potty area and plenty of fresh water out for the pups. From the first message, they responded so quick to my booking. Less than an hour, they agreed to watch her. When my flight was delayed and I had to push her drop off a bit later than anticipated, they were accommodating and quick to message me back, same with pickup as well when I decided to come earlier than my anticipated time. If I was local, I would 100% use them again and so appreciated my baby girl feeling so welcomed and safe in their home.”
“Mark and his wife were so kind and took care of Ozzy "our senior dog" for 2 days at their home. We really appreciate it. My dog came home happy and healthy . I highly recommend this boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their pet!”
“Amazing amazing amazing!!! We will be re booking everytime with Carla! My dog had the best time and enjoyed every second of his visit! I am so thankful to find a loving and kind family to watch our boy!”
“Dash just loves Carl and Linda. He always gets excited when we turn onto their street. They are always our #1 choice when finding a place for Dash to stay. Thank you Carl and Linda.”
“I would recommend Susie to anyone in need of care for your animals. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and takes such good care of our dogs when we are out of town! The pups love going to her house!”
“Debbie took wonderful care of Sunny while we were away. Sunny can be timid and anxious in new environments, but Debbie was incredibly patient, calm, and clearly experienced. She followed our instructions carefully, especially around keeping Sunny secure, and really respected her need for space to settle in. That made all the difference. We especially appreciated Debbie’s communication and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. The photos she sent were the best, Sunny was actually smiling, which says everything about how comfortable she felt. It’s not easy leaving a dog like Sunny, but we truly felt she was in good hands. We’re very grateful and would absolutely trust Debbie with Sunny again.”
“Was wonderful with our puppy and even helped us out last minute. Overall a great experience and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely use again when in the Orlando area!”
“Lori did an excellent job watching my girl. She has a lovely, fenced yard. Torben played with the neighbor dog and went out on her boat to explore the islands! She was on vacation at Lori’s!”
“We needed some boarding for our 2 golden-doodles for a couple of nights while we were visiting the Coca Beach/Cape Canaveral/Merritt Island area. Mia had availability and checked all the boxes for us...worked from home, fenced back yard, and 2 of her own pups for playtime with our own. Mia was very flexiable and provided a safe, loving environment for Cooper and Murphy! Thank you very much Mia! As well to ROVER.COM. My wife and I have used this service several times when we travel for vacations or short trips and have had great positive experiences! Highly recommend Mia and Rover.com”
“A true blessing! I could not recommend a sitter more than Carie!!! The whole trip she sent so many photos and updates of all the fun Nugget had while I was away. Nugget isn't able to see well/ walk much, but Carie and her wonderful son put him in a bike trailer and stroller and let him go see so much. I think he had more fun than I did! A++, If you are looking for someone to watch your baby pet then 100% get Carie.”
“Casey was awesome! Yoda and Rowlfie loved staying in her lovely home! She took great care of them and sent lots of pictures so I knew they were having a great time and being well cared for! Would definitely book with Casey again!”
“Jolene was great with my dog! She sent me daily updates and pictures. He has a great time playing with her dogs and meeting her cat. He was very happy when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Brody enjoys staying at Patsy's! Patsy is super reliable and takes great care of him! We can relax and not worry about him while we are away. She also sends us the cutest photo updates! We highly recommend Patsy!”
“From the very first meet and great we felt so comfortable with Jillian. Such a warm, comfortable environment. She has such a soothing presence. Dakota took right to her. We got wonderful updates and pictures all weekend. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cape Canaveral
I was in Cape Canaveral and did a last minute request to Dezarea to watch my dog for the day so I could go to the Kennedy Space Center! She responded right away and was so welcoming and accommodating with a clean lovely home and her own dog who played with mine. That was my first Rover experience and I am now even more confident of using Rover and grateful to Dezarae for her care and attention!

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 Cape Canaveral 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 Cape Canaveral 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 Cape Canaveral.
<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 Cape Canaveral 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.
