“Laquita & James where so helpful and friendly. They gave me constant updates (with pics) of how my dog Millie was while I was gone. They genuinely care and it shows. Millie will be back next time we need a sitter for sure!”

“Anas and Tate are truly exceptional— they treated Kaine and Lyuba like family with so much care and attention. Always reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. We appreciate them sending updates, videos and pictures. We feel completely at ease knowing our fur babies are in such compassionate, responsible, and capable hands.”

“Max’s first time away from us and I can tell he had a great time and was very well taken care of by Andi and her family. Loved the constant updates and pictures throughout his stay. Thank you so much!”

“She is awesome!! I love the way she is with the puppies.( i call all dogs puppies). We rescued a 9 year old and she was wonderful with him. I can’t thank her enough!!!! I was not worried about him. She sends pictures and videos everyday!!”

“I needed a last minute dog sitter and she was available. She was great. She sent me picture's and videos of my dog playing. She had her in her own room instead of her cage. She played with other dogs. My 7 month old puppy is high energy. If you need someone local try Stephanie. I gave her 5 stars because thats all i could giver her on this app but if i could give her a 10 I would.”

“She was wonderful with my two 70 pound dogs,she has a huge backyard which the boys love playing in and she sent me pictures and videos each day and help get the boys in the car because I have a broken arm and that really helped. Thank you for keeping them happy.😍🐕🦺🦮”

“Adam is great with my dog, Zena. She has stayed with him several times, and he always goes above and beyond to make sure she has what she needs. We'll continue to do stays with Adam.”

“Diana was amazing! She accommodated a last minute request and took great care of our pug, Casey. Casey is an older girl who needs lots of snuggles and love. We had to extend the trip out a day and Diana helped with getting more food. Her communication was great! Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for them and truly enjoy spending time with them. I provide patient, loving care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups. I’m available for boarding seven days a week. I have a good- sized fenced yard and a friendly medium-sized dog to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed.

“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”

“Julia and Alllen took a good care of my two beautiful cata They responded to my messages , sent me pictures everyday , and hand fed my cat when she was anxious and refused to eat They are a great pet care giver and i will use their service again”

“Luna had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave! I also appreciate Alex for creating a safe, comfortable environment for Luna to hang out with other dogs without being overwhelmed 🐾”

“Paola was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my baby and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear my pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. When I got home, my dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Paola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Paola!”

“Autumn was absolutely fantastic. Hands down the only other person I’d trust to board my dog in their home. I was so scared of leaving my baby in the care of someone else with other dogs, but Autumn made me feel as though I could trust her. She is organized, and reassured me throughout the day. She absolutely adored my dog and treated her as her own! I trust her 100%. 10000/10 recommended Autumn.”

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”

“I had to find a sitter unexpectedly during a trip because my original plan fell through. It was my first time being away from my dog, so I was really anxious. But Godness was so kind and responsive. She really helped ease my worries. She sent photos and videos every day, which made me feel reassured. I’m so grateful that she cared for Summer with so much love and attention. Sitters like Godness are truly rare. Thank you so much for everything!”

“This was the 2nd time our pup, Romeo, has stayed with Nina. She has made him feel comfortable and right at home, evident in all the pictures and videos she provided during his stay. During this last visit, Nina went above and beyond by crafting Romeo a sweater to take home as well as having him participate in some arts and crafts projects as a gift to us. We appreciate Nina watching our pup while we’re out of town and will definitely be using her for any future needs and recommending her to our friends. Thank you Nina and Piccolo!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Citra on Rover is $46.62 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 459 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Citra. 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 Citra 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 Citra 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 Citra 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 Citra.
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 Citra 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.
