“We dropped off Lilly on Sunday afternoon 10/26 and of course she gave us the look of abandonment but it didn't take long before Vanessa said she settled down and relaxed. Everyday we received a picture of Lilly making herself at home. That next Friday we came to pick her up and all her stuff was ready to go. We don't need boarding services much but will use her services again.”
“Carl and Nancy treated Bleu like family! He had an amazing time playing with their pups, and I could tell he was well cared for during his stay. They were incredibly flexible and understanding with drop-off and pick-up times. Pictures were sent to me through out the stay. Their home offers plenty of space indoors and outdoors for play and relaxation, and Bleu had no issues with separation at drop-off. I highly recommend Carl and Nancy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving provider for their fur baby. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND Andrea and Javier! Our dog loves staying with them. Their home is welcoming, clean and inviting! We always know our dog is in great loving hands! With updates and pictures throughout the stay we know he is getting amazing care!”
“Kerri was so sweet and took great care of our pup, Austin! As a new client, she asked lots of questions which demonstrates her genuine care and willingness to care for your loved one the way we do. Her home is lovely and very pet friendly. We will definitely book with Kerri again!”
“Colleen is great with Stella. I appreciated her help most recently when our living room flooded and I needed to focus on remediation. The fact that she gives an option of sitter pick-up/drop-off benefited our family.”
“Gaster had an amazing time; he came home exactly how he was when he left. Thank you so much for the pictures, videos and quick updates. This was our second booking with Sarahi and Leonardo and hopefully it won’t be our last. Definitely recommend them .”
“Josmar is a very nice lady, she treated Bruno and Salem with a lot of love. My only suggestion to her that maybe she can send a little more pictures and be a bit more responsive. Overall, she was very nice and lovely with my babies.”
“Christine was absolutely amazing. My dog had the best time ever with her pets and got so much love and attention would highly recommend and will absolutely be using her for my services!!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my 16 week old puppy E.Z. with John. He has a closed in backyard and no other pets. He took very good care of E.Z. and I will use him again.”
“Wow! I love Nathalia. My dogs seemed so happy and comfortable at her home. She is so sweet and really kept me updated and informed, even when my Parys didn’t poop. She made sure they ate and were happy. Their belongings came back clean. We will surely be back! Parys and Londyn seemed to be well taken care of!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care April provided for our dog, Daisy, while we were out of town for over a week. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew Daisy would feel right at home – and she absolutely did! April kept us updated throughout Daisy’s stay, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. It’s clear that April and her family truly love and care for animals, and we are so grateful for their kindness and attentiveness. Thank you, April, for treating Daisy like one of your own! We highly recommend her and her wonderful family to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Our dog Ribeye stayed with Emiliano and Valeria for the first time and he had the best time! It truly felt like a home away from home. We loved getting daily updates and seeing how relaxed and happy he was. It’s such a relief to travel knowing your dog is in great hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Ingrid was amazing. She kept in close communication to ease my stress of leaving Louie somewhere new. She sent pictures during the stay. I will definitely book with Ingrid again as Louie seemed very well taken care of and happy with her and her pups.”
“Marie was phenomenal! She took in Mochi as if he was her own doggie. I got videos and pics of his stay each day and saw how much fun he was having playing and running around. I felt great knowing he was in her hands and in a safe loving environment.”
“This is my first time using Rover, and so fortunate to have Fay and Daniel taking care of my 2 fur-babies. They treat them like their own, and very easy to communicate with. Definitely will go with them for our future bookings.”
“Brooke es una excelente cuidadora, dejé mi gata con ella por unos fue muy amable enviándome más de dos veces al día fotos de mi gata y muchas veces la tenía cargada dándole cariño, aprecio mucho su trabajo lo hace súper bien, la recomiendo 100% siempre dejando saber hasta cuando comía, definitivamente la ocuparía nuevamente cuando la necesite. Muchas gracias por todo Brooke de ♥️”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Christmas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Christmas on Rover is $37.45 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 2,338 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.
