“Barbara took great care of my 3 dogs, she sent great updates too and was very responsive to all communication! Even worked with me regarding drop off time as I got held up at work! Thanks Barbara”
“Gabriela and her family took such amazing care of my babies! She sent multiple pictures a day with updates so I never once worried how they were doing. This was definitely my best experience with Rover and would love if she could petsit again in the future!”
“Dakota and her family were amazing with my dog! They treated him like family, and he had a fantastic time. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great place for their pets! Thank you!”
“Erika & Jason V were wonderful to deal with. I had to drop off Scamp sooner than expected and they were very accommodating allowing me to drop him off 4 hours early. Erika & Jason sent me pics and updates for Scamp everyday which really eases your mind when you are away from your beloved pet. Scamp is an older dog and has some issues with food and meds and Erika & Jason made sure he was given the correct amount of food and meds at the right time. Scamp loved staying with Erika & Jason and when I need another sitter for Scamp, Erika & Jason will be my go to. We will definitely book with Erika & Jason again through Rover. They treated Scamp like one of there own and I made me feel very much as ease leaving Scamp. Thanks again Erika & Jason, for taking care of my beloved pet with such care and attention and treating him and me like family..”
“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!”
“Nicole was able to take our dog while vacationing and our little man had a nice vacation of his own! He was well taken care of with frequent updates. You can tell Nicole loves animals!”
“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”
“Ana was an amazing caretaker for my dog. She filled me with so much confidence when we met and kept up with great communication throughout the boarding. Highly recommend and Ana will be my go-to provider from now on! Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“So thankful for David + Krysta. They are now our top choice when we need to leave our sweet girl behind. We were updated daily with photos and her daily events--such a breath of fresh air to be out of town and know our girl is being truly being taken care of. Poppy had a blast playing in their big backyard, making friends with their dogs, and getting all the love and playtime with their boys. Upon picking poppy up, the kids even had their friends in the neighborhood come and say bye to her because they had gotten to know her--there was something special about that! We are going out of town again in April and I'm on my way to book them again now. Poppy has found her home away from home family and we are ok with that.”
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.
“This was our first time leaving our baby. From my first conversation with Rosemary and meeting Matthew at drop-off they made it so easy not to worry. I would recommend them 10times over. Thanks so much for making my vacation!”
“Macie was amazing, so thankful for her and her family to board our cat while we stayed at the beach. She was caring and communicated with us every step of the way. I felt comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip with my family knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Thank you Marcie and family!”
“Juniper had a lovely weekend while we were away and Anna sent many photos from their time together. Anna was very communicative and accommodated our drop off & pick up times.”
“Absolutely wonderful! He gave me at least one daily update without prompt! He made the first experience with the app the best and will definitely continue to use him! 10 out of 10. Much better than doggie daycare.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Destin is $41
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Destin
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!!!
My family and I went on vacation to Destin and needed a last-minute dog sitter because our Airbnb wouldn't accept our dog. I contacted Megan, and she agreed to look after her with a wonderful, willing attitude right from the start. She inspired me a lot of confidence and, above all, peace of mind; I knew I had left Manola in very good hands. On top of the fact that my dog is an older dog with many specific needs—requiring medications and supplements—Megan said she wouldn't have any problem handling that, and she did an exceptional job. I’m sure that if Manola could speak, she would tell me she had a great time with Megan and Charlie (Megan’s son) at their home. I would definitely contact her again if I were to need her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Destin on Rover is $44.4 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 355 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.
