“Larry was such a great sitter for Rusty! I recently adopted Ruaty and wanted him to be in a place he would feel comfortable in while I was out of town. Larry was the perfect fit, he has the land to run around and a safe space to relax, and even worked with Rusty on the training we have been working on. I would recommend Larry to anyone looking for a great sitter for their dog!!”
“Excellent! Terrific communication, two very friendly dogs and a dog-savvy cat and a lovely dog-friendly home and yard. They welcomed our senior dog and made sure she was comfortable, enjoyed walks and was allowed to find her own cozy space. Just the nice people & place we hoped to find.”
“This is Churro’s second time with Linda and it was a great time again! She is so patient and caring with him and he loves cuddling with her! We are looking forward to him spending time with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.
“Wonderful Sitter!! My experience with Eboni was amazing!! She’s very attentive, professional and responsive. My fur baby was immediately drawn to her warm and welcoming spirit. During his stay, she provided pictures and periodic updates of him being spoiled! lol He loved every minute of it. 5 stars”
“We can't thank Kelly and Brian enough for the great care they give Lakota when she stays with them. She's always well cared for and makes herself right at home. We always miss our baby when we travel, the photos we receive while we're gone help bridge missing her. Lakota's next stay with Kelly and Brian is already booked.”
About: I am a former manager at a daycare and boarding facility, I have administered diabetes shots and other medications for animals. I plan to own my own daycare boarding facility in the future. Helping others and working with animals has always been my passion, I initially went to college for veterinary but decided that it wasn’t for me that a Daycare facility was best suited for me and my personality. I currently am a manager at a restaurant I can walk pets before 5:30 am but it didn’t give the option and anytime after 4 pm. I have three friendly dogs who are very socialized they go to doggy daycare and one elderly cat who is 16 and our yard is fenced in and I live down the street from a dog park as well!
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my Shih Tzu, Chloe. From the moment we met her, her personality was so warm and kind, and it immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe in her care. She kept me updated and treated Chloe like she was her own. It meant so much to hear that everyone fell in love with Chloe while she was there—it reassured me that she was getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Sara gave her and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Tannia and Chris were absolutely awesome! They exceeded the goal in making sure Zion felt right at home. It truly comforted me and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing he was well cared for!🤗💕THANK YOU!”
“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 !”
“Shannon was super flexible with the times I needed and even allowed me to bring over pongos items the day before! She sent pictures the entire time of his stay which really put my mind at ease! She also has 2 other dogs that Pongo got to run around with while he was there. I know he had a blast and Shannon was phenomenal! She will be my go to for any over night stays!”
“Wendy is great! My Lucy is always happy when she stays there. I also received daily photo updates! I highly recommend Wendy for a caring pet sitter.”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Hannah and her husband were super responsive, flexible, and we could tell our dog really enjoyed her nearly week-long stay. Our dog is afraid of fireworks and storms and they were able to help her be very comfortable despite it being a stormy 4th of July weekend! We returned to a very happy and relaxed dog. They sent photos and even a video during her stay, and we felt totally at ease that she was 100% well taken care of and given lots of love.”
“Patti sent me updates and pictures of our dog KC and took care of her like she was her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“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%”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernandina Beach
Renee and her pup, Dash, were wonderful. Renee was very compassionate and conscientious with our dog, and we knew she was in goods hands. Renee gave us daily updates, with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind during ten days of boarding. We would be thrilled to have our pup stay with Renee again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fernandina Beach on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 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 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.
95% of Fernandina Beach 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 Fernandina Beach 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 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.
