“Juan Pablo took excellent care of our two dogs. He sent us regular pics and videos. He provided a positive social environment with his dog and other neighbour’s dogs. It was like one big Chi family. We had a great time on our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless!”
“Taylor was incredibly responsive and communicative Throughout Lenny’s stay. She also sent us lots of photos and updates, and it was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was. We’re so happy we found Taylor and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Elizabeth D was great! Very accommodating and kept us well informed of how our fur babies were doing. This was our first time leaving them with someone other than family. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have many years of dog sitting experience. I'm a dog lover and enjoy dog walks twice daily. I'm currently working part-time during the week and I'm home on the weekends. Twice a day dog walks with my pup and yours. I have a fenced patio, live in a safe and pet friendly neighborhood. I have a fur baby friendly and playfull with small dogs. Your pup will enjoy the company!
“It was the perfect set up, they were very nice and they have an extremely nice house in an extremely nice neighborhood. Really nice people. They took good care of him and they gave us updates with photos. Peach of mind. Max came home happy and clean”
“Absolutely will recommend Jessica anytime. She has been great with my fur baby both times I’ve trusted Jessica with her. She communicates and sends me photos of my baby throughout. Even did a photoshoot with her last time!”
“This is my first time using Nicole and she was fantastic. Very communicative and put me at ease leaving Chloe with her. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout her stay there and it looked like she was well cared for and had a great time playing with the other dogs there. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again.”
“Banksy had wonderful time with Gregory. He sent plenty of pictures and updates. He was also so understanding of Banksy's medical needs. We look forward to using him again.”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Gheraldine & her partner took incredible care of my five year-old boxer. He is very skittish and doesn’t warm up easily. Geraldine went as far to hand feed him and cooked him a special treat in order to motivate him to eat. They took their time with Cassius and now I wouldn’t take him to anyone else!! Gheraldine sent photos daily and even included some videos. It felt so reassuring to know that my dog was in such good hands!”
“Kelly is the absolute BEST! From the moment we arrived my fur baby felt at ease and was excited to play. Her home is clean and has a doggy summer camp vibe with all the toys she provides! Rosie is very attached to me so I felt at ease with all the photos and videos Kelly provided me of Rosie having fun! To be honest, I think Rosie was a litttle sad to leave. I will definitely be using Kelly again and would 10 out of 10 recommend her!”
“llaria is an amazing sitter! She provided daily updates and treated Otto like one her own. I highly recommend her for any boarding services. Otto came home happy and well rested!”
“Arlen was great. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything was a good fit, and Lady, who is normally a very anxious dog, seemed super comfortable right away and immediately started exploring the space. Arlen sent daily pictures and was very accommodating throughout the stay. My flight was canceled the day I was supposed to pick Lady up, and Arlen truly saved the day by being flexible and able to continue accommodating her. It spared me the added stress of worrying about boarding plans while already dealing with the stress of canceled travel. I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Valeria has been amazing with our dog. She made sure every detail was covered, she took such good care of our buddy! I will definitely be using her again!!”

Words cannot express my gratitude to how well Kelly looked after our dog, Zen. She is truly a wonderful person and dog sitter. She took great care, sent us numerous photos and videos and made Zen so comfortable that we knew we chose the right person. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Kelly. Thank you so much, will definitely leave Zen with her again.
Gheraldine was amazing !!!! I will 100% be using her again. This was my first time away from my Lucy since bringing her home.. I received daily pictures and videos, more than once a day. My baby was perfectly cared for and loved 🥰 I could not recommend Gheraldine more, simply amazing!! Definitely book with her and rest assured your baby will be in amazing hands!
We had a great experience with Gregory. He was friendly and showed us where Tulum would be staying, which helped us feel comfortable leaving him there. He was also very communicative throughout the stay and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated. Tulum is shy with strangers, but he looked happy and comfortable, especially with a toy he borrowed during his stay. Right before pickup, Tulum got a tiny cut from a bush, and the sitter was very straightforward about it and told us immediately when we arrived. It looked minor and Tulum seemed totally fine, and we really appreciated his honesty. Overall, we felt Gregory was attentive and thoughtful, we would definitely use him again.
Adriana was amazing. Last minute booking that she accommodated because my other plans fell through. She has a nice backyard for the pups to run around and play. Adriana has a dogs wherever policy.. bed, couch, wherever. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that’s concerned with leaving their dog for any length of stay. Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you!!!
Felipe and his wife were absolutely incredible!! I couldn’t have asked for a more communicative and thoughtful pair. I was constantly updated with photos and I really felt safe with my babies being with them. A huge bonus is the fact that they have a fenced backyard so the dogs could go out and get some exercise. I would absolutely recommend.
Rachael was great! She sent pictures and videos of my baby each day, and throughout. She actually takes really good pictures too! I was very surprised at how quickly my girl settled in and took to Rachael. This took a lot of stress off my mind, since this booking was kind of last minute. I would definitely use Rachael again after seeing how well she cared for my baby girl.
Catherine is incredibly caring and thoughtful with my dog––from what time and how long to walk her during summer months to giving her medication and meals to providing me photos of how she's doing and how happy she is. I have complete peace of mind when I'm traveling. My dog has diabetes so her care is very specific and I always feel confident she's well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fort Lauderdale 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 4,460 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort Lauderdale. 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.
94% of Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale.
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 Fort Lauderdale 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.
