“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.”
“Natalie and her family are amazing! My pup was well taken care of and spoiled with belly rubs and treat. Highly recommend Natalie and her lovely family. Bane already can’t wait to go back!”
“I recommend Maria D. sincerely and whole-heartedly! She is a special sitter. She went above and beyond in caring for our dog Ruby. Maria D. made us feel comfortable, at ease and peaceful that our Ruby was being cared for properly! She took the best care of Ruby and kept us informed constantly. Thank you, Maria! Until next time. ♥️🐕🦺🙏🏻”
“Laura was amazing! She took such great care of my cat for 4 days and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was very kind, attentive, and reliable, and I could tell my cat was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely trust Laura to watch my cat again and highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Would definitely recommend Kelly! We are so glad we found Kelly and Kyle! They looked after our dog for an extended stay and we were so grateful for all the help and amazing care they gave. Kelly sent lots of updates including fun photos and videos which we loved! The stay included lots of walks and playtime in their yard with their amazing dog Eggie. Would absolutely trust Kelly to look after our dog again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. It took us a little while to find the right person but we feel like we did! Valeria was amazing right from the start. My fiancee and I felt comfortable leaving our puppy with her before leaving for our trip. She sent updates 2-3 times a day and Zoe had an amazing time.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pup! Our dog came home safe and sound and was given lots of love during his stay. Very responsive and flexible and sent photos!”
“I don’t know where to even being. I’m new to all this and was a little hesitant at first, but Anastasiia and Vadim made this experience wonderful. They truly took care of my Yoshi like he was their own. I got so many updates that it put my mind at ease. They were kind, loving, and patient to my baby. Definitely would book again if they would have me ❤️😊. You won’t need to look further book with them!!!”
“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.”
“Thank you so much Elizabeth! Your boys were so sweet with our Rigo. You were able to manage his anxiety extremely well. It is such a great feeling to know our fur babies are cared and loved. You will be seeing Rigo again. Thanks again.”

“Pugsley had so much fun! I could tell he was having a really good time! I would definitely recommend Jessica and will definitely be a return customer! Thank you so much!”
“Antonio came through for us in a pinch over Thanksgiving holiday and we are so grateful! This was Marley’s first time staying with Antonio and from the moment we met him at his grooming salon (which is so nice btw!) we were instantly comfortable. We are helicopter parents and he didn’t bat an eye and was totally understanding of our novel of instructions and requests including her preemptive first aid medicines. We can tell he was very attentive to Marley while we were gone and she got walks and lots of treats and even made a couple of pup friends who he was also babysitting. We got updates and pictures everyday and Marley came home fresh & fluffy (as we took advantage of his grooming service 😃) and happy. Thank you so much Antonio for taking such good care of our Marley!! We would happily recommend him to anyone have have him babysit her again! 🤗”
“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.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pups of every size and age, from all kinds of breeds, energy, and backgrounds. I have extensive care in senior dog care. I use to only rescue senior dachshund’s from the shelter at one point in my life. Just about all my friends and family rely on me for pet care. My thought process: Dogs lack the opposable thumbs required to feed and walk themselves, which is exactly why I spoil mine so much. Born and raised in Miami, FL, a true local. I work from home, so I am always around to keep an eye on the pups and give them plenty of attention. I finish my workday by 2:00 PM, which gives me wide-open afternoons and evenings for dedicated dog walking/parks and drop-in visits. Because I’m home so much and only host one small guest dog at a time, your pup will easily blend right into our daily routine! Moving to Downtown Miami: Edgewater October 2026 🚛 Safety is my top priority! I live in a secure apartment building which does have its designated area for the babies. I always keep a close eye during elevator rides, hallway and street walks. Inside my home, your pup will have the company of my two friendly dogs. I only host one guest dog at a time to ensure a calm environment.

Scott was amazing with our dog! He gave us great updates throughout our trip, and it was clear that our dog was having the best time with him. They became best friends, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!
Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She came to my rescue with a very last-minute, urgent request and welcomed Romeo into her home for several nights. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent me a million photos (which me and my daughters LOVED!) and incredibly detailed daily updates about every possible thing Romeo was doing. I never once had to wonder how he was doing because she kept me completely updated throughout his stay. Her own dog is super friendly, and Romeo settled right in with absolutely no issues. It was such a relief knowing he was comfortable, happy, safe, and being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful she was able to help me on such short notice, and I will 100% be using her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care about their dog and give them plenty of attention and love. Romeo definitely found himself a new home away from home! 🐾❤️
My dogs seem happy. I didn’t get a chance to meet Camilla but met with her mom. Really nice. The home was very cozy and clean. I loved that they gave me updates on our pups which was important to us. We’ve never left them with anyone before. We so glad we did and will again. I recommend them for your pets. Thank you so much. Look forward in the future.
I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Anita! She was very responsive, transparent, and made me feel comfortable from drop-off to pick-up. It was obvious my dog was loved and well taken care of from the moment I picked her up. I'm so glad I found a kind, experienced, and trustworthy person to care for my dog-daughter when I'm away.
Madison was amazing with my dog! I can’t say enough good things about her. She was extremely punctual, friendly, and above all - a great friend and mother to my dog. She goes out of her way to provide the best care to animals and truly show them love. She also works hard to keep your pet safe. I would recommend her to anyone!
This is our 3rd time with Jessica she's the greatest not just her the whole family are awesome for as long as she's in this service we won't hesitate for one second ❤️ cause she is really care I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation our babies love the entire family 5 stars 🌟 🤩
Kacie did an amazing job taking care of Sophie! She kept me updated throughout her stay and made sure Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Kacie was incredibly sweet, attentive, and thoughtful, and I could tell she genuinely cared about Sophie. I would absolutely recommend Kacie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 💕🐾
Valeria is an amazing sitter! Lola remembered her and her son from when she was a puppy so I know it made it easier for the transition. But it just goes to show a dog never forgets a loving family. It's so nice to be away and feel absolutely confident and comfortable that your dog is in good hands. Highly recommend!
Zelda’s second stay with Kelly was just as great as the first one. She was even excited in the car as we were showing up to drop her off which is always a great sign! Kelly and her family are top notch and attentive and we will definitely be using her services again.
Absolutely spectacular. Truly one of a kind. Everything was perfect from start to finish, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog and cat were incredibly well cared for, the communication was excellent, the house was immaculate, and I came home to two very happy animals. It’s rare to find someone this responsible, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely great with animals. I hope this review gets them a ton more business because they absolutely deserve it. I would recommend them without hesitation and will 100% use them again. An absolute gem.
I have no words for how absolutely incredible Diana was. She was so knowledgeable and my dog fell head over paws for her. She always had a wide array of fun toys, treats, and activities to do with him. When I ran into an emergency and had to extend our stay, she went above and beyond to accommodate. Kodie had an absolute blast and I was able to relax knowing he was in the best possible hands. Your pets would be lucky to have the chance to stay with Diana 👑 10000000000/10 recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fort Lauderdale on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,546 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.
