“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!”
“Dawson has had an amazing time with Payal over the past several days — I’ve been getting the sweetest updates throughout the day, from adorable videos to cute photos that truly show how well she’s caring for him. On top of that, Payal has been incredibly accommodating with my demanding work schedule, always flexible and easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own. Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since a young age and have always volunteered at local shelters. I helped a lot with the foster programs for dogs while attending Florida State University. Growing up I was always attentive to our childhood dog who is is now approaching 15yrs old. She isn’t able to leave our family’s home due to age/health and Is staying in my hometown. I would love to be able to bond and give care to other dogs while living here! I currently just moved downtown FTL and I’m self employed/remote. Which ables me to have extra time on my hands. I would thoroughly enjoy to spend some of that extra time providing care/support to animals in the neighborhood. I have very open availability and able to work schedules around clients wants/needs. Caring for an animal is a responsibility that shouldn’t be taking lightly. I think it’s important to ensure that the pet has a welcoming/friendly environment while maintaining safety. It’s important to be aware of surroundings and understand your clients animal on what works best for them. Understanding the pets personality and how it operates the best is important to ensure a fun and safe experience for all parties involved.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always treat them as if they were my own. I am reliable, attentive, and patient, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I focus on providing a calm and caring environment. I also pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my availability depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I make sure your pet gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment and always follow your pet’s routine closely. I’m attentive, responsible, and make sure pets feel safe and loved at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Our rescues spent time away from our home for the first time with Elizabeth. Beforehand, we had a meet and greet with Elizabeth at her home. We were impressed with the space in her home along with her easily accessible yard for her furry clients. The wonderful bonus was her two young boys who clearly love dogs! Our Peaches and Coco settled in and we received both video and photos of their stay which was reassuring. We have already booked Elizabeth and her boys for our next travel later this month. Highly recommend!”
“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I would use Natalie‘s services again. Natalie is a sweetheart! She took great care of Marty and provided me with daily updates, so my husband and I could enjoy our vacation without worrying about Marty.”

Nicole and her family took wonderful care of Billie while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Billie is a high-energy dog, and they provided such an active, loving, and supportive environment that she immediately felt right at home. Nicole kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches—like playing Billie Eilish songs for Billie! It was clear that she was treated like part of the family and received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I am incredibly grateful for the care, communication, and kindness they showed. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Billie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog as if it were their own.
Elizabeth was wonderful to work with! She was very friendly and welcoming, and her kids were so sweet with Indy and her puppy energy. She has a nice-sized fenced backyard where all the dogs could run and play together, which Indy really seemed to enjoy. This was Indy's first time being boarded and her first experience being around multiple dogs at once. Elizabeth was caring for four other dogs during Indy's stay, and it was great to see how well they all interacted. She also sent daily videos of Indy playing with the other dogs, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Overall, I appreciated Elizabeth's communication and the care she provided. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, experienced sitter with a great outdoor space for social dogs.
Felipe and Laura took great care of our baby Ziggy. This was the first time we were leaving our 2 month old puppy with anyone and they not only kept us well informed on how she was doing but also put our worries at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely use Felipe and Laura again to take care of our pup.
Kelly and her husband were absolutely amazing and took perfect care of our dog Zelda. They are super sweet and very professional with how they cared for her. She provided ample updates and our dog couldn’t have been happier. And their dog Eggie is the best, very friendly and calm. Thank you so much!
Jackie was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and thoughtful. She kept us updated regularly and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was obvious how much she genuinely loved and cared for our dog, Amber. As pet owners, that’s the one thing you hope for, and Jackie exceeded every expectation. Amber was not just cared for—she was loved, spoiled, and treated like family. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. Jackie is trustworthy, reliable, kind, and clearly has a special gift with animals. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. In fact, she’s so good that part of me doesn’t even want to leave this review because I’d love to keep her all to ourselves! 😊 But she deserves every bit of praise. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet as if it were their own, Jackie is the one.
David is a superb pet sitter indeed! I am always hesitant to leave my senior dog with someone new, but David went above and beyond to care for our little guy. He gave daily updates with pictures and videos…as well as made suggestions from the knowledge he has with dogs and especially some older ones. I will definitely book with David next time we need a sitter. He’s a really sweet person and a loving care giver. Five stars across the board!
Jessica was the best! She has great energy and will protect your dogs at all cost! My two girls are not quite trained yet and my anxiety for leaving was sky high but Jessica reassured me they were ok and she made whatever adjustments she needed to for everyone to have a great experience. Highly recommend.
Sarah was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Milo, during his two-night stay. She was caring, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would not hesitate to leave Milo with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Sarah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,560 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.
