“XL-ent care. Shelly treats them like family and mostly has smaller dogs she cares for. That makes me feel great leaving my 9 & 10 pounders there She has a great set up-porch opens up to fenced in yard!”
“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!”
“My puppy had a great time with this family! She got a fenced in backyard, another pup to play with, and lots of snuggles! They were super accommodating for drop off/pickup and located in a great spot. Will use them again and I recommend fully for others looking!”
“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.”
“What a relief to be on vacation and know that our sweet girl was well cared for. Lori and host dog, Mocha, were so sweet to our Shiba. We received frequent updates and photos and were able to relax knowing she was in great hands. Looking forward to our next visit to Lori!”
“Jolene was great! Provided us with updates of Mack with photos which puts a pet owners mind at ease especially since we were gone for 10 days. She has other dogs so he got to play and became a part of their family for the time he was there. He may not want to come back because he doesn’t have furry friends to play with just us now. He also got to be on the couch so he was super spoiled. Highly recommend her and her family for your dog and we will definitely.be using her again.”

“Ms. Gerri is a wonderful sitter for our dog, Lilly! She is 11 years old & Gerribtook special care of her. This is the 2nd time going to Gerri’s & Lilly literally ran up to her when she saw her! We are so grateful for her!”
“Susie was so great with Honey. I could tell Honey had a great time hanging out with her. She knows all about dogs, and is willing to share her knowledge. Id use her again in the future, for sure!”
“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.”
“Very happy and satisfied with the care she gave my pet. I would recommend her to anyone whose is looking for a really good pet caregiver. I will use her services again in the near future.”
“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 wonderful family that comes highly recommended. They watched our fur babies for two weeks and sent lots of pictures. We felt very comfortable and know our babies were well cared for.”
“Carie is 10/10– absolutely amazing! We have never left our dog with anyone but family, so we were very nervous. Carie put us completely at ease. She did multiple meet ups prior to watching our boy, and treated him with such kindness and love. During his stay, she sent tons of pictures and gave several updates on how he was doing. I could tell from the pictures alone that he was happy and having a wonderful time. We feel completely blessed to have found Carie. We are so grateful to know we have someone we completely trust to watch our dog, if we ever travel again. I couldn’t recommend her enough! She’s the best. :)”
“Lori and her sweet dog Honey were so great with our golden retriever. He typically has a bit of separation anxiety and is pretty intimidated by other dogs. He walked into their house and acted like it was home. We received several photos of him while we were away. We are so blessed to have found Lori to watch our dog while we travel and would recommend her in heartbeat.”
“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!”
“Tracey was wonderful with our Pug and English Bulldog! We received pictures nearly daily during their week stay and it was so comforting to see them snuggle on the sofa or in the chair with them providing them the same love we would. I truly appreciated all of Tracey's updates and to see how well she treated our fur-babies really put our hearts and minds at ease. I would highly recommend her!”

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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cape Canaveral on Rover is $33.87 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cape Canaveral. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Cape Canaveral sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cape Canaveral landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
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.
