“Vanessa is amazing!!! From drop off to pick up and everything in between we knew our pets were in good hands!!! We appreciated the pictures and updates.

“Kayla was amazing! I recently used Kayla's services for boarding my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met Kayla, I felt assured that my furry friend was in good hands. They were genuinely caring and attentive to my dog's needs. The communication was excellent throughout the stay. I received updates, including pictures and videos, which made me feel connected even while I was away. Kayla's home was safe, clean, and dog-friendly, providing a comfortable environment for my pet. Most importantly, my dog seemed happy and well-cared for when we picked him up. This peace of mind is priceless for any pet owner. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Kayla, for the wonderful care!”
“Carl and Nancy cared for our dog recently and took great care of him. We got several pictures which was very much appreciated, and he had such a good time. We would not hesitate to call them again (actually, we already have!). Thank you Carl and Nancy for your caring and kind attention to our Mickey!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was our dog’s fourth stay at Marie’s and all went wonderful. Our dog enjoys walking with Marie and Napo, running in her fenced backyard and playing with plenty of tennis balls. Our dog has sensitive eyes and we really appreciated Marie applying his eyedrops daily. We picked him up happy and healthy. Thank you Marie!”
“Tracy was truly amazing! Left her with my dog for 12 days and she updated me with messages and pictures everyday. I was stressed as this was my first time booking a petsitter and I’m so happy it was with Tracy! I could tell my dog was happy and treated well. She was very loved during her and will definitely be booking again for future trips! Highly recommend Tracy!”
“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!”
“Fahriye and her husband took such amazing care of Rocky. he looked so happy and relaxed during his entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. they were both so kind and gentle with him, and he came home looking so handsome after his groom. i would absolutely trust them with Rocky again. thank you both so much! ❤️”
“Sarahi & Leandro managed to accommodate a last minute request for boarding my little dog Bella, and I only have great things to say about them. They sent me daily updates with photos and let me know how she was doing every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with their care, and will definitely be coming back.”
“Bruce did a great job taking care of our dog Kash. We know Kash enjoyed time with the other dogs and plenty of time to run around outside in the fenced-in yard. We were grateful to know that Kash was in good hands!”

“Brianna is awesome with Princess Sabrina! She looked after her over the Christmas period as we were in the UK. She sent me pictures and a lovely video of Sabrina playing with some pups too. I know Sabrina was in great hands!”
“With very short notice, Katrina was extremely flexible and accommodating. She has an amazing set up for dogs of any personality or size.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Christmas on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,323 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.
94% 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.
