“Barbara is absolutely AMAZING! I have had to change my trip so many times due to schedule changes, and she was SO accommodating. She kept me continuously updated with photos and videos the entire time, and took the best care of my baby 🐶. I swear she was MADE for this! Thank you so much again Barbara, I cannot thank you enough. You ROCK!”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“Thank you so much for keeping Dakota you were great and made sure I was updated on how Dakota was doing during his stay I can tell he had a great time will book again with you in the future”
“Nicole took great care of our two dogs. They both have never stayed with anyone outside of our family for more than 2 days and were anxious but she took the time to get them comfortable at their own pace and gave us constant updates. Definitely the only one we would trust with our dogs for any future boarding needs while we are still in the area!”
“Renee is nice, her house is nice (although I didn't see the backyard so I can't comment there). She has several small dogs who played with Walter. She was good about texting pictures and communication.”
“Always takes the best care of our Sophie!! So sweet and loving to our pup, and considerate of us with her daily updates and being flexible when our plans had a major hiccup coming home. Would recommend to any/everyone!”
“Sheila was awesome. She gave me great tips on potty training our 5 month old maltipoo puppy. She kept in touch and sent daily photos of Presley. I feel very comfortable with Sheila and will use her again and highly recommend her”
“Cheryl is FABULOUS!! Very loving to the dogs, my Duke was comfortable with her. I like her quick response time and the pictures she sends me. Very reassuring:) great place to leave your fur baby ❤️”
“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Koda. Jessica sent lots of pictures and updates. Koda came home happy and healthy. Thanks for a great stay. Would definitely book again. The only downside was Jessica lives on base so we had to meet up at a location off base and transfer car to car. Not a big deal but may matter to some.”
“Megan was awesome watching our Mochi while we were visiting the Destin area for a few days. Super flexible and accommodating to our schedule. She has plenty of indoor and outdoor space at her house in a quiet street. Allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing our dog was safe and in good hands.”
“Dawn is very reliable and great at communicating. She sent us pictures, took our dog for walks and kept her busy. She is also very experienced with dogs and we felt very good leaving Bailey with her and her lab. We would love to board Bailey with her again.”
“David and Krysta always take the best care of Marli and Mason! We always feel so comfortable leaving our pups in their care, knowing they’re having the best time and are so well loved and looked after. We truly appreciate them and would highly recommend!”
“Ana was awesome with our fur baby. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and messaged back quickly any time I messaged to check on him. By far the best experience I’ve had on rover. I definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Chantal and her family were so sweet to our old man. Her puppy played well with him and he felt so comfortable! Chantal was kind, professional, and gave our furbaby lots of love! She is now our go-to dog sitter!”
About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.
“Erik took such great care of my dog! He sent pictures and updates everyday. He took my dog on many walks/runs! I would highly recommend Erik to anyone that is visiting the Emerald Coast area and is in need of dog care!”
“Anna was so wonderful with my Max, I got pics and videos every day! She was a vet tech and I felt so comfortable with her knowledge of all his old man medications ? She was also very accommodating when I was going to be out of the country using a different app so we could communicate. Max is even going to be with her for the holidays as well when I’m out of town. I have no doubts he will have another wonderful mini vacation at Anna’s.”
“Harvey accepted our booking about two days before us arriving in town! We were very anxious to leave HoneyBear with him, but she went straight to him and went right in his home. When she was standing at the door barking as we left, he gently closed the door, which definitely helped us and possibly HoneyBear, too. When I reached out to Harvey, he responded quickly and sent us pictures of HoneyBear as well. She was always on the couch (probably beside him)! When we picked her up, she seemed to be content and obviously happy to see her human dad. Harvey definitely earned our trust with HoneyBear’s visit!”

Megan was awesome watching our Mochi while we were visiting the Destin area for a few days. Super flexible and accommodating to our schedule. She has plenty of indoor and outdoor space at her house in a quiet street. Allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing our dog was safe and in good hands.
Julie is absolutely amazing. She took the time to take care of our two doggos, and she was very patient with our new adopted pup Coco. She made sure that Coco was comfortable with another dog that was staying with her by coordinating with the other dog’s owner to allow us to visit and meet. It was a great match and our two dogs had an amazing time and came back tired, happy, and clean!
Ms. Barbara was phenomenal for my Rubble. We were in vacation from PA and decided to take a last minute trip to NOLA for the day, and Ms. Barbara was quick to respond about taking my boy. He’ s a shy boy but he had no problem fitting in with the other pups. He even went back to say bye! Definitely will keep Barbara in mind for the next time we are in Destin! Thank you so much!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Destin on Rover is $44.4 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 351 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Destin. 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.
93% of Destin 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 Destin 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 Destin 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 Destin.
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 Destin 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.
