“Ana was great! She responded super fast, and was nice enough to do a meet and greet (my dog can get anxious in new settings, so meet and greets are important to me). Lola felt right at home! Ana sent daily pictures, and it looked like Lola had a great time. We will definitely ask Ana to host Lola again next time I need to go out of town. Thanks Ana!”
“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!”
“David and Krysta were so sweet to our Cooper! Communication and photos while we were away were an added bonus! We highly recommend and will plan to use them again if we are in the area!”
“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.”
“We feel that Mia received the best of care from Rosemary & Matthew. I'm sure she was in good hands.....even tho she hid in the closet for most of her stay! We would use them again.”
“Jessica is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had for Callie! Her personal care, excellent communication, and caring heart made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. Callie absolutely loves her, and I appreciate Jessica’s constant updates. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trusted sitter!”
“As always they took excellent care of our fur babies, even our high strung Aussie. Super flexible when a tropical storm interfered with our vacation causing us to get home late. Highly recommend.”
“Would definitely recommend! I know my girl had a great time here (apparently she loved the pool). Kayla/Richard provided photos throughout her stay and updated us on what she had been up to. Will definitely be using in the future!”
“Alexandra was very friendly and professional. She took amazing care of Makenzie! She kept me updated even when i was out of country. Makenzie was happy and healthy when i picked her up.”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“I cannot say enough good things about my dog’s stay with Erik. He followed her care plan to a T and was incredibly generous with the pictures and updates (I am a bit of a helicopter parent lol). My girl will definitely see him again”
“Robert and his wife have been so awesome! We’ve used them multiple times and our dogs are always excited and run right in to his home when we drop them off. We are sad we’re moving and won’t be able to keep using them!”
“Nikki was wonderful with my furbaby! I’m always very stressed about living him behind, but she certainly eased my mind by sending me pictures/videos and keeping me posted on his activities and mood. He had such a great time with her!”
“Look no further for another pet sitter! Our pups were loved on and cared for so well while we were on vacation. Charlie was very responsive and helpful. We could not be more grateful! We would joyfully use her again and again!”
“She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Gabriella was absolutely amazing! She responded fast when I asked for help with my pet. She explained everything so clearly and I knew I had nothing to worry about with Cuddles. She sente several pictures everyday!”

Megan was so amazing! We booked a trip last minute and our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs so Willie stayed with Megan and her son. She responded so quickly to every message, kept us updated, and most importantly Willie had such a good time!! Would definitely book again.
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.
