About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 4 we recently just had to put down our 15 year old pit Bull. I have a 10 year old pit mix that I hold near my heart. I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard. I also have a friendly fur baby who would love making a new friend.
“Dan was very knowledgeable and caring towards Rosie. His dogs were friendly and great playmates for her. He sent tons of photos showing how often he took her on walks and to the dog park. His home is full of dog toys, beds, and bones, and he has a great fenced-in backyard. When we came to pick her up, she even tried to go back into his house - she obviously loved staying with him! We felt completely comfortable with her in his capable hands.”
“I was able to book a sitter short notice after the one i had booked canceled on me last minute. Everything went great. My dog seemed well cared for. Id recommend using her and would use her again.”
“Emily is wonderful because she has a peaceful and calm demeanor and she truly cares for your pet. I will definitely bring my dog, who is 14.5 years old, back to Emily to take care of her, when I come back for vacation. Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding care and support.”
“I’m so grateful to Jessica! She was fantastic. I reached out last minute and she was able to make time to do a meet and greet and then agreed to keep Buddy. She was so down to earth, easy to work with, and great with Buddy. He was attached to her like Velcro. And her dog, Pasta, is so good natured and even played with Buddy some! This was my first time using Rover and Jessica made it a wonderful experience.”
“Maria was phenomenal and my puppy girl was well loved and taken care of! She had so much fun playing with Baxter! Maria has a lovely home and a huge, very nice and green back yard! I would highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience boarding Maple and Hazel with Dylan! We received daily photos, videos and feedback which helped keep our minds at ease!! One of our pups is blind so we were nervous, but we knew by the photos she was as comfortable and as loved as she would have been at home. We plan on using Dylan again and again!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for and raising dogs and puppies since 2017. As an experienced dog owner and breeder, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs—from young puppies to adult dogs. I understand how important it is to provide pets with love, patience, attention, exercise, and a safe environment. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly connect with them. I honestly feel more at home around animals than anything else! I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family and will always make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, feeding, walks, or extra attention, I would love to help care for them while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I stay home full-time with my daughter, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have years of experience caring for dogs and puppies and am home most of the time, except for occasional quick errands. Your pet will never be left alone for long and will receive plenty of love, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment for every pet in my care. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time and play. I have everything needed to care for dogs comfortably, including crates if needed. With years of experience caring for and raising dogs and puppies, I understand the importance of safety, routines, cleanliness, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. Your pet will be treated like part of my family while they are in my care.
“Linda was wonderful with my baby Carrot. Carrot is very shy and takes a while to get used to people. Linda was very good with her and Carrot warmed up to her very quickly. I got pictures and daily updates which made me feel better about leaving her. Linda did a great job!”
“She was able to take care of my pup with no issues and communicated well. I was running around like a crazy person and forgot her leash dropping her off and she even had extra supplies so I didn’t have to rush back and forth. Highly recommended, thanks!”
“My dog Peggy had a great time! I received multiple photos and updates during her stay. Chelsea was very communicative and made me feel comfortable leaving my Peggy with her. Would book again!”
About: l've had over 10 dogs throughout my life and I currently have 4 (2 at each of my parents houses). I also have a cat and I love them all so much! I've always been an avid animal lover and would love to meet your pets and help take care of them! I can board them at my home if they are dog and cat friendly and I can also come to your home to care for them! I am at home full time and am currently taking a gap between school so 1 am fully capable of giving your pet the care and love it needs 24/7 while you are away! I live in a large neighborhood with sidewalks and lots of grass which is great for walking your pup and I have a large backyard for your animals to play in!! I am able to do full day care all days! I currently am taking a break from work and schooling so I can take care of you dog or cat at any time any day of the week! I can walk you pup, do drop in visits, overnight care, or anything needed! (my profile says my house has 4 dogs but the house I board any pets at only has 2! my other two dogs live with my mom!) I have no preference between boarding and sitting! I live in a private residential home with lots of room for your pet to play and/or relax! I have a large, fenced yard for them to play in as well. I have two dogs and a cat, all of which are very friendly! My two dogs are large dogs, (Golden Retriever and Bernese Mountain Dog) so if your pet is afraid of large dogs and/or doesn't like high energy dogs, they may not enjoy their stay! They are very sweet and don't fight with other dogs unless provoked and my Bernese is very skittish. Some animals could get overwhelmed from their high energy behavior. They calm down fairly quickly (10-20 minutes) then become very relaxed and lazy dogs. My cat is very sweet and loves dogs as well. She was raised by a Collie and loves to play with dogs if they let her. Your pet can sleep in a kennel if that's preferred but I'm also perfectly fine with them sleeping and staying around the house at all times if you prefer that as well!
“Lorraine is outstanding. She takes this job seriously by making sure she meets the own and dog and asks clarifying questions. She touched base with me daily and adapted to my dogs needs throughout the stay, which shows she really cares. I highly recommend Lorraine and will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I have been doing pet and house sitting for nearly 10 years! I have cared for dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. I enjoy being around and caring for animals and want to make them feel as loved as possible. I am comfortable administering medication or anything special your pet may need! I have full availability and will always send as many updates as possible :) I am home every day so I can take your dog out very often. I love talking walks and being outside and would love to have your dog with me. I live in an apartment that has a fenced in dog park and lots of green grass areas to walk dogs of all sizes! My home is very dog-friendly!
“Ellen took great care of our dog, Lucy, during our trip to Pensacola. She was very communicative, reliable, and easy to work with throughout the stay. We especially appreciated her flexibility when we asked her to pick up and drop off Lucy so she could spend some time with us at the beach. Lucy was well cared for and happy during her stay. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ensley is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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.
97% of sitters in Ensley 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 Ensley 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 Ensley.
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 Ensley. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Ensley 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.
