“Marcos was very communicative throughout my pets stay with him, sending daily pictures and updates. Always responds quickly and very nice. Would definitely recommend and book with him again.”
“Angela and her husband are the best! Snoopy looked like he was having a blast playing in their yard with other dogs. Angela sent updates and photos throughout the day and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. I highly recommend Angela and will definitely be sending snoopy again. Thank you so much!”

“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.

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! 💕🐾”
“It was our first time having anyone watch our new pup, Rocco, and immediately felt comfortable when we met Petra. She was so nice, and very clearly loves animals. She made Rocco feel at home and made us feel at ease. She was very communicative throughout Rocco’s stay, sending multiple picture/video updates showing he was having fun with her two dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog watcher you can rely on!”
“Outstanding! Our little Brody had a great time at Debi’s for the week. He came back home so happy! She was responsive and sent daily pictures and updates. Brody is looking forward to his next visit to Debi.”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“This is the 2nd time around Lee Ann watches my doggie and first time my daughter's. They looked like they had fun, we had pictures and videos of their stay. We are very please, thank you Lee Ann 😊”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life — growing up with several of both, and currently living with one cat of my own. I'm comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, from playful puppies to shy senior cats. I'm responsive, detail-oriented, and experienced giving medication on a routine-schedule, so pets with medical needs are never an issue for me. I work from home running my own business, which gives me a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house-sitting at your home, with plenty of time to give your pet attention and stick to their routine. When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail as my own. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding times, medication schedules, and routines — and I'm comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I always make sure doors are secure and your home is left just as I found it.
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the weekend, sending updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. Archie was clearly well cared for and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Ariel and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jennifer watched our very active puppy twice in the last two weeks and was wonderful on both occasions. She has a great fenced in yard and is very attentive to the dogs she has in her care and sends feedback and photos/videos throughout. We loved our experience with Jennifer!”
“I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this sweet woman and her daughter! They were absolutely amazing with Marlee, and I’m so grateful they were willing to take him in last minute. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. They were so loving, gentle, and caring with him, and I especially appreciated how they kept me updated throughout his entire stay. As a dog mom, that meant so much to me because I could see that he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being loved and cared for. 🥹❤️🐾 Marlee was so well taken care of, and I’m truly thankful for the kindness they showed him. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I will absolutely be booking with them again the next time I’m out of town! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable to care for their fur baby. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! Marlee definitely has two new friends. 🥰🐾❤️”
“Ely was great. She took care of Ariel with so much love. She sent me pictures and videos often and it was really easy to communicate with her. I definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
“Anita is sincerely caring with Kayla and welcomed her when she first entered her home. My husband and I felt a positive vibe upon meeting her and we will have Kayla visit soon!”
“Kristy and her family were great! She even offered a meet and greet before we booked (no one has ever offered that to us befor on Rover). They took great care of Spike and sent us photos and kept us updated during our time away. Will book with them again if they’re available. Thanks Kristy!”
“Jose was an absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t be more pleased with the care he provided for my Jack. From start to finish, his communication was excellent, and I received regular updates, photos, and notes about how everything was going. Jose is responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. Jack was very happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I picked him up. I highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. I will definitely book him again!”

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!

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! 💕🐾
My dog had a wonderful time! Marcus is very diligent and sends regular updates and photos without being asked. My dog was walked, fed, and given plenty of opportunities to play with other small dogs. It was like a summer camp vacation for my little one! I highly recommend Marcus!
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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,656 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fort Lauderdale. About 91% of Fort Lauderdale sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
