“We couldn’t be happier with the care our 4-month-old puppy received! Caring for a young puppy takes extra time and energy, and Vanessa (with assistance from her adorable son) handled everything beautifully — from potty breaks and playtime to keeping our puppy calm, safe, and happy. We received a daily update and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our puppy came home well cared for and happy. We highly recommend!”
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“Carl and Nancy did a great job with our pup! You can tell they love having dogs in their home and truly take care of them as their own. This was our first time using someone other than family to watch our 9 year old puggle but we will definitely be coming back as our trip was very enjoyable because we knew she was well taken care of!”
“Awesome! He was so nice & sent me pic of the dog. I was super nervous my dog would be barking at him and having a hard time but he didn’t even bark at him and just left with him with no issues! Will 100% use again!”
“My dog was lucky to stay with Colleen— Nala was treated like family among her dogs and people. We picked up a happy smiling dog today and I’m so grateful for Colleen’s care of my Nala.”
“My 2 puppies had a great time with Al and his family! They took excellent care of them like they were their own! Al sent me daily pictures and I knew they were having a great time with his kids. They were very flexible when I needed to extend my trip. And when I picked them up, they were given baths before I brought them home! Will definitely book Al and his family again! Thank you for taking great care of Romeo and Juliet!”
“April was wonderful with our dogs and very personable! She always had a quick response time whenever I messaged her and sent multiple pictures of both of my dogs everyday! I highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely outstanding from start to finish! From the moment we booked, communication was excellent. Throughout our dog’s stay, we received frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our boy was not only safe but genuinely loved and cared for like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarahi and Leandro were wonderful with Wilhelmina! It was her first overnight stay with new sitters, so she was understandably nervous at first, but their patience and kindness helped her settle in quickly. We appreciated the updates and would absolutely trust them with Wilhelmina again. Thank you both! 🐾💕”
“I am very happy that I have Tracey to help care for my fur baby. She is so nice and I'm so happy because Roxie and I are new to the St.Cloud area and having someone close to home is so helpful. Thank you Tracey and Rover.”
“Bruce went above and beyond watching our dog Cooper. He sent updates with pictures often throughout the day, loved on him and even let him run through the sprinklers which is his favorite thing to do!!! I feel blessed that I found Cooper a safe ‘home away from home’. Thank you Bruce!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Josmar! She understood Susy perfectly from the very beginning and knew exactly how to give her the calm, gentle space she needs. Susy adored her I could see how comfortable and relaxed she felt the whole time. Truly the best sitter we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!”
“Christy was amazing with Kimber. I will definitely be a return customer as Kimber loved spending time with Christy and her family. Christy was very organized and professional with Kimber.”
“Excellent care takers for my senior German ❤️ received updates every day, videos and pictures, she knew how to comfort my German when he did not want to eat his food. If ever in the area of Orlando, I would definitely book with Yaine again and definitely recommend her!!”
“Vanessa did such a fantastic job taking care of our dog! As a first-time Rover user, I was a little anxious, but she totally put my mind at ease. I loved getting the regular updates—they made me feel like my pup was in such great hands and really loved.”
“Best dog sitter ever highly recommend my dog refused to leave to come with me Updated me with pictures daily and joining my baby fair to the dog park Thanks for best service and kindness”
“Brooke and her family are the best Rover Sitter I have ever hired. Brooke is very attentive to your pets needs and she updated me daily on my Dogs days in her home. My dog was definitely on a luxury vacation in his eyes. Brooke is in a great neighborhood with a nice yard and a big park nearby. Its really a great pet situation. A+++”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Christmas on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Christmas. 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 Christmas 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 Christmas 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 Christmas 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 Christmas.
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 Christmas 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.
