“Lindsay took incredible care of my dog. She was very communicative and provided me frequent updates and photos. My dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Normally he goes on a hunger strike when I’m away on a trip but he felt so comfortable with Lindsay that he even ate. Will be using Lindsay again for sure!”
“Clary made us feel so calm and comfortable leaving our fur babies with her and her family. She sent pictures and communicated with us while we were away, relieving any stress or worry. It was a smooth drop off and pick up. I would use her again and recommend her services.”
“Tracee has been nothing but amazing from the moment I reached out to her! This is our second time leaving our big furbaby boy with her and I feel so assured and relieved that we found her! We of course miss our Melo when away, but knowing he is in such loving hands and care allows me to truly enjoy time away. He is clearly so well taken care of when we return, and seems so much at ease than when we would previously bring him to a dog daycare ! She sends updates and photos throughout the day and ensures all our requests and our furbaby’s needs are met! Thank you!”

“I left my senior dog with Rick and his family while I went out of town for a week, and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of her! Rick regularly checked in and sent pictures, and I had piece of mind knowing my girl got plenty of attention while I was away. She had the best time!”
“Lorraine lovingly cared for my two cockapoos for 3 days and 2 nights. She kept me informed with wonderful pictures, including a few with my babies snuggled up against her on the couch😍. She gave them lots of love and excercise. In fact, she took such good care of them that one of my pups didn’t want to leave her when my daughter went to pick them up! I highly recommend Lorraine to take care of your pups!”
“Mai was absolutely awesome!!! She took such good care of my baby Jagger and kept me posted with pictures and updates the whole time. Her home was lovely and comfortable and her pets were so welcoming to my pet. This was my first time leaving my pet through Rover and I highly recommend then and Mai. Such a professional and pet lover. Until next time and only with Mai. Thank you!”
“My dog’s first time staying overnight here. He did great and this family was wonderful. Sent me updates and pics which made me feel so good! He was loved so much and happy. Defiantly recommend”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elfers
We were fortunate to find Kristie on short notice. She was very accommodating, passionate about animals overall and is now one of our go-to caregivers for our dog, Argo. She sent pictures of him playing, walking and resting. He was very comfortable and cozy at Kristie's house. I highly recommend her!
Tracee took great care to make sure Gladi was comfortable and happy while we were gone. I appreciated her interest in Gladi's routine, likes/dislikes. Tracee was extremely flexible with our time frame and details. She kept us updated with pictures and texts of Gladi's stay with her.
We had such a wonderful experience! Communication was fantastic from start to finish, and we really appreciated the daily updates and photos. So friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. We immediately felt comfortable knowing our dog was in great hands, which made being away so much easier.
I cannot say enough good things about David and Vicky! They watch my dog all the time, and it truly feels like a second home for her. They genuinely love her like their own, and she has the absolute best time every single visit. It brings me so much peace of mind knowing she is in such caring, safe, and loving hands whenever I’m away. If you’re looking for trustworthy, amazing dog sitters who will give your pup endless love and attention, look no further than David and Vicky!
The best. I scheduled a trip out of town & made a mistake in scheduling with Betsy. She made an immediate decision to keep my dog on the spot. Above accommodating! My dog is so happy to be there, she runs to play with her “friends “ leaving me at door. Could not be happier choosing Betsy. Am a repeat customer
Stephanie was absolutely incredible keeping my fur baby for 9 days! First time Rover user here and I’ve always been lucky to have family or friends keep my pup when I go on vacation for the last 6 years but this trip everyone I knew already had plans so I needed to find someone but was also very nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know. However, I loved Stephanie’s profile & her previous reviews, so I decided to give it a shot. She quickly eased all my anxiety and my dog instantly LOVED her! She sent daily pictures and videos and kept me in the loop my whole trip. She wants your pet to have the same structure at her house as they do at home and I really love that. Hands down I will use Stephanie in the future and I highly recommend you book her too!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elfers is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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.

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 Elfers 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 Elfers 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 Elfers.
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 Elfers. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Elfers 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.
