“Marisol was amazing with my puppy, Zeus! She kept me updated with photos daily. I so appreciate how much she took care of my dog while I was away. I totally recommend her to anyone!”
“Made sure to make me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her and gave a steady amount of photos and check ins. Also, includes a little report to see how they were overall which I find all the better. I received a little gift bag for my dog when it came time to pick her up and from how she acts, she was well taken care of.”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“It was the second time for our pet to enjoy Wendy’s services. She is a very reliable dog sitter, she feels the needs of our dog and our dog feels very relaxed with her. Wendy is always on time, she responds quickly on each request and send regularly pictures. She is a 5 star plus dog sitter. We all love her and will book her again for sure. Well done Wendy !👍”
“I recently moved to Jacksonville and interviewed 4 sitters before I found Tannia and Chris. As soon as I met them I knew they were the ones! Beautiful people, beautiful home, beautiful experience. My Frenchie is 6 years old and this was the first time I left her with ‘strangers’. My little Frida is very attached to me- but I had to pry her out of their house to bring her home after my trip. I found my people to watch my pup whenever I go out of town. Tannia and Chris were ‘strangers’ for all of about 10 seconds. They are now Frida’s home away from home- where I know I am leaving her with two caring and thoughtful dog lovers. 💕”
“I’ve been using Mary for a while now and she is excellent! My dog loves going over there to play with her dog, he always has a blast and loves getting spoiled by her. Definitely recommend her if you are looking for a dog sitter.”
“They were so sweet and took great care of our little guy! Sent pictures and updates of walks -will definitely be our go to sitters if they are available! Thank you so much :)”
“Imani did such a great job with my fur baby! She sent pics and kept great communication! She def loves what she does and she have a beautiful family who shares the same feeling. Def recommend and would send Blu back!”
“Cooper couldn't get out of the car fast enough to run to Uriaha. He loves playing with a ball and thoroughly enjoyed running around and having fun in their lovely fenced-in yard. It made me happy to see that Cooper feels right at home there.”
“If you’re even thinking about booking Katerina—stop thinking and just do it. She’s not a 10/10… she’s a 1,000,000. From the moment we connected, her communication was on another level. Constant updates, photos, and videos—you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. You *see* it in real time, and it’s obvious your pet is not just being watched… they’re being genuinely cared for. Her home is spotless—truly next-level clean. Non-smoking environment, calm energy, and everything feels safe and intentional. That matters more than people admit. This isn’t a chaotic drop-off situation—it’s structured, peaceful, and professional. She also has a young child who absolutely loves animals, which adds a really special dynamic. It’s not forced interaction—it’s natural, warm, and your dog feels it. Mine came back not just happy, but super happy. And the backyard? Huge, fully fenced, and perfect for dogs to run, explore, and actually burn energy—not just pace around. What separates Katerina from everyone else is simple: she treats your dog like it’s her own, and she backs that up with constant visibility and care. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again—and frankly, once you use her, everyone else will feel like a downgrade.”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were wonderful. They sent us pics of Abby every day while we were on vacation. We could tell Abby was loved and enjoyed her time with them. She also got to make friends with their dog Pancake who kept Abby company while we were away. Recommend 100%”
“Candace and Thomas were so great! Sent so many updates with photos that made me feel totally confident Tilly was in great care :) would love for them to watch her again in the future!”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
“Lauren was amazing and went above and beyond! She gave us many updates and kept in communication with us about our dog while we were away. We would definitely recommend Lauren!”
About: I've had my own dogs since a young age. I currently have 2 dogs, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I have a spacious fenced in yard and pups are walked daily. I'm home a lot and I have my own pets to tend to. I own a local home service business so I have a very flexible schedule. I have a good sized fenced in yard, extra kennels, and extra seperate rooms if needed due to dog aggression. Dogs are always let out to potty throughout the day, plenty of engaging play time, and daily walks.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Dog Sitter Ever! I cannot say enough good things about Laura. When I first got my Ziggy, I was extremely nervous about leaving him with anyone. The very first time I met Laura, all of that worry disappeared—I instantly knew he was in the best hands. She made me feel completely at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless. Now, after several visits, I can confidently say I will never use another sitter. Ziggy absolutely adores her—he literally jumps out of the car with excitement when we arrive! That reaction alone says everything about the love and care she gives. Laura goes above and beyond every single time. She keeps me updated, sends the sweetest pictures, and treats Ziggy as if he were her own. I’ve even rearranged my plans before because I only trust her with my pup—that’s how amazing she is. Thank you, Laura, for always taking such incredible care of Ziggy. You’re more than a sitter—you’re family now. I am a lifelong customer, and I recommend you at the very highest level possible. Simply put, Laura is the best.”

Renee is absolutely wonderful! She treated our two dogs as if they were her own! They settled down very easily into her home and routine with her personal dog. She kept us informed every day of how they were doing and sent pictures of them enjoying themselves. When we got home, they were happy to see us, but not stressed at all! I think they thought they were at summer camp! Thank you so much Renee for taking great care of them!!
Laura kept our dog Sunny for a weekend while we were visiting the island, and she was fantastic with her! She sent us photos and updates every single day, so it was easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing Sunny was having the best time too! I would highly recommend Laura!
I had a last-minute conference in Fernandina Beach and finding Brittany was an absolute lifesaver. She was incredibly accommodating and made everything so easy on short notice. Elsa had the best time running around the yard and absolutely loved playing with Brittany’s sweet Lab, Miko. I felt completely at ease knowing Elsa was so happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brittany again and highly recommend her!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Graceann and her mom took incredible care of our golden retriever while we were in Amelia Island for our wedding, and her mom even brought him to the venue so he could be part of our day. Dallas had so much fun, and we can’t wait to book with them again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Fernandina Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fernandina Beach is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 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 October 2026, there are 714 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fernandina Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Fernandina Beach 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 Fernandina Beach 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 Fernandina Beach.
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 Fernandina Beach 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.
