“Erica was great with our dog! Since we got her as a puppy, she’d never needed to stay with a dog sitter or in boarding, so when we went on our long weekend trip out of town, we were nervous about leaving her with someone. From the beginning, Erica was extremely communicative, so I felt much better at the start with leaving our dog with her. When we went to drop our dog off, Erica and her family made our dog feel as if she was part of the family. She sent photos and text updates throughout the whole weekend while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Erica to watch our dog again when we have to go out of town!”

“Lindsey and Jose took amazing care of my fur baby! I ended up dropping her off with an upset stomach after dealing with it for a few days and Lindsey had no problem at all with it and was so kind and caring about it! If you need to leave your senior dog(s) with someone you can trust Lindsey is the woman! She is very flexible and provides daily updates! My doggo looked like she had a very fun time sunbathing in the fenced yard and napping on the couch with them. She even had her own little spot in her daughter’s bedroom! I highly recommend Lindsey and would gladly use her as my sitter again in the future!”

It was clear she was treated like part of the family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Daisy kept me updated, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Kelly & James are excellent!!! We had to travel urgently and found them just the previous day. Kelly takes time to understand your pet and their needs thoroughly. They looked after our pet very well and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Our pet is very anxious and takes time to get comfortable with new people but our pet did really well with Kelly & James. They are also very good at understanding each pet's temperament and managing them at the same time. They are passionate and genuinely care for the pets. Our pet enjoyed her stay at Kelly & James!! I would highly recommend Kelly & James and would definitely be a repeat customer!!”

“We would absolutely recommend her, and our pups absolutely loved their time with her. She was great about giving updates and sending photos, letting us know they were happy and doing well. When one of our dogs had an issue she alerted us to it without giving us any stress while we were on our trip. It was very thoughtful and considerate. She was patient and very kind and we feel that she would be excellent for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Her love of animals is obvious and we knew they were in good hands the whole time!”

About: I grew up on a sheep farm with inside and outside dogs. Fostered with the Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue and local shelter as a kid. NC State Agricultural Science graduate with an Animal Science minor. Now, I teacher middle school agriculture, running an on campus barn with 15 rabbits, 4 goats, 13 chcikens, dairy cows, and pigs. Our schedule changes week to week due to school/farm activities. I live 5 minutes from school and leave for work around 7am and am home around 4pm. I am available to come home at lunch around 11:30am. Your pet may attend some agricultural functions with us as permitted. During the summer, when school is out, we are home much more. Dogs may have free roam around the downstairs (kitchen/livingroom). Walks around the neighborhood will be provided on leash and there is a dog park for off leash play. Your pet may attend some agricultural functions with us as permitted.

“Moka had another great stay with Danielle! Besides being a great sitter, Danielle is a wonderful photographer and I received many photos and videos that showed me what a good time Moka was having. Danielle is a conscientious sitter for Moka, ensuring a regular meal schedule and maintaining Moka's two diabetes insulin injections daily. I am extremely happy with Danielle's conscientious care, which allows me to enjoy time away without worry.”

Melissa was a fantastic fit for our boys! She was great with communication and sending pics to ease our worries being far away. Seeing our dogs behavior with her proved she was taking the best care of them. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate caregiver.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Doctors Inlet

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Doctors Inlet is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,080 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Doctors Inlet. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Doctors Inlet can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Doctors Inlet 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 Doctors Inlet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Doctors Inlet. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Doctors Inlet 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
