“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!”
“I’m very happy with the care my dogs received — everything was taken care of, and they were happy and relaxed when I got back. Communication was great, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful and attentive approach. IHighly recommend!””
“Krystal is always so kind to our babies. When they come home they are exhausted and happy. She sends updates on their visit and photos so we can see them interacting and having a great time.”
“Absolutely adored Marie and how great of care she took of my baby. Sent me tons of photos and videos and was kind enough to see if her fur baby would get along with mine before officially booking. My baby came back super relaxed and well cared for. I really appreciate how courteous and sweet Marie is! 12/10 would book again! ♥️”
“Briana took great care of Linus and sent pictures and updates about Linus's activities when he was boarded with her for a weekend. She has lots of experience with small dogs, so I felt good about leaving Linus with her, and I relaxed more and more with each text. Thanks so much, Briana!”
“Bruce was great for Maci! The yard is great for her to play around in. Sent us lots of pictures while we were away which was very reassuring. Will definitely reach out to Bruce in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and treated our pet like family. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for everything!”
“Ingrid was extremely communicative & reliable. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! Tex had a great time and I appreciated all the updates and pictures during the boarding! Thank you, Ingrid!”
“Ariana was absolutely amazing with my pup Murphy! From the moment we arrived, it was clear she had everything perfectly set up for a fun and safe stay. Her home is a total doggie paradise — complete with a pack of super friendly pups that instantly made Murphy feel right at home. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Communication was great, and she kept me updated with pictures and videos, which made being away from him so much easier. Murphy came home happy, tired (from all the playtime!), and clearly well taken care of. I highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a warm, loving, and professional sitter. She’s officially Murphy-approved! 🐾”
“Omar did great with Lux. He kept me updated with pictures and communication. Nothing excessive just the perfect amount. He let me know of anything that’s was happening outside of her regular schedule that I reported which was a couple of accidents. His home was very dog friendly and it looked extremely comfortable for Lux. You can always tell things about a person based on their animals and his boxer came right out just as calm and basically said hi to Lux and went about his business. I felt very comfortable leaving Lux and Omar was very accommodating when I was running a few minutes behind for pickup. Thank you Omar!”
“Javier & Milagros earn every bit of 5 stars…from the meet and greet where they accommodated us, the photos and video througj his stay and the pick up. They were very warm and loving to Rex. He was very happy with them. I almost dont want to continue to rave about them for selfish reasons ?. Will definitely use again!”
“Emily was great from the very beginning all the way through the booking! Went out of her way to do a meet and greet since my little pug is somewhat anxious, sent pix and updates every day and took great care of him. Will def use Emily the next time I need a sitter! Would recommend!”
“Overall great experience. Quick to respond and took the initiative to send pictures everyday. The home was beautiful and I felt very safe leaving my puppy for a few nights.”
“Faye and Danny were great to our Pippa! They sent photos of her and kept us updated regularly. It definitely set our mind at ease knowing that she was well taken care of!”
“Linda was fantastic for our first pet-sitting experience. From the initial meet-and-greet to our return, their communication was top-notch— loved getting photos/videos/updates every day. Moo Moo took right to her. Thank you for taking such good care of him !”
“This was our 2nd time booking with Megan.....she and her family took great care of my dogs. She gave me updates on how the dogs were doing and I am totally comfortable leaving my dogs in her care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Christmas is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $55 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,321 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 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 Christmas 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 Christmas 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 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 , 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.
