“This was the first time we’d ever left our 14-year-old senior Pomeranian, who has separation anxiety, for more than a day. We went on a 10-day overseas trip and were understandably nervous. Vadim and Stacy are truly the best dog sitters out there, and they absolutely proved it. My mind was always at ease thanks to frequent updates on every walk, her status, cuddles, and constant communication. They treated our girl, Savannah, like she was their own, and despite her separation anxiety, she quickly bonded with them and their pom, Riley, becoming part of their family. I couldn’t be happier. They carefully followed her specific food regimen and eye-drop schedule, and we are so grateful for how well cared for and pampered she was. We can’t wait to do it again!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Maria ! She took amazing care of my dog and treated him with so much love and attention. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loved him and made him feel right at home. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again! ❤️🐾”
“Brought my Pit Bull mix to Lee Ann’ home, I’m always nervous leaving him with a stranger as he has a past history of being abused. Lee Ann and her family welcomed Buster into their home and promptly made him feel loved and made him feel part of their family. Lee Ann sent many photos and videos daily. Buster can’t wait to return and play with Molly and the rest of the family.”
“We had a great experience. We recieved many pictures and videos of our boys. They seemed to enjoy their time with Yubi & Alex's dogs and had a nice yard to play in. Thank you for taking such good care of Donnie & Merle!”
“Scott did a great job of taking care of my pup for a week while I traveled. He kept me apprised of how she was doing. When I came to pick her up, you could tell that she had bonded would Scott and would wilingly go visit again. I'd definitely use Scott again and highly recommend him. I'd give six stars if possible.”
“Natalie is AMAZING!!!! My dog didn’t want to go back home. I can tell that my fur-baby was truly loved as her own. Anytime I’m out of town, I will gladly book with Natalie in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for pet sitting my furry son! :)”
“I am extremely pleased with Benji’s stay with Judy! She kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judy knew that Benji is fearful of other dogs, and she was kind enough to accommodate him in a pet-free environment. It was wonderful to see him warm up to her and her family during his stay. Because of Judy’s care and communication, I was able to fully enjoy my trip without feeling anxious about leaving him behind. Thank you, Judy, for taking such great care of our baby! We will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future.”
“Diana was sooo amazing with my baby girl. She took care of her like she was her own and I was able to have a stress free trip while she was in Diana’s care. I received constant updates and photos. I can tell she had a ball like she was on her own vacay. 1000/10 would recommend Diana to care for your fur baby and I hope Xoxo gets to spend time with her again in the future! Can’t thank you enough, Diana!”
“If I could give Sebastian a 10, I would! My pup Dulce is a special needs dog that needed a special dogsitter and Sebastian is the one. He has experience with fostering dogs which made me more comfortable leaving Dulce with him since I know he would understand Dulce if she decided to be a bit naughty. Dulce had a pee accident in his house but he was super understanding about it. Dulce chewed up her bed (because she is a chewer), so, he decided to get a Kuranda dog bed for next time that Dulce comes over, she can use it. However, he also bought it for the other pups that he dogsits to have something to use and be comfortable when they are at his place (and dog owners would not have to bring all their stuff over). He is very considerate. I am glad we found him. I highly recommend him as long as you don't book your pup during the same dates that I need him to take care of Dulce hahah :)”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Mary. She has become our go-to sitter, and we trust her completely. Mary goes above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She even took the time to sew one of our dog’s favorite toys back together after it was chewed apart. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and truly exceptional dog sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Ali was wonderful with our dog! We knew she was a great fit from the meet and greet and she did not disappoint whatsoever. All communication was quick and easy, she sent videos and pics of our pup and checked in regularly. We had total peace of mind while we were away and I know our dog had a blast with her!! We can’t wait to use Ali again. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“William has taken care of our Bianca several times, most recently in December 2025 and also this past beginning of January 2026. And several times prior. He is wonderful with Bianca and she looooves going to his place. We trust him IMPLICITLY with her care and he always sends photos and messages, telling us how much is enjoying her company. I know if Bianca could talk, she would say the same about spending time with William!! Highly, highly recommend! We NEVER EVER worry about being away when Bianca is with William!!”
“Very attentive and loving sitter. I received updates and pictures every single day my dog was on her care. She sent plenty of pictures and videos the entire time. I HIGHLY recommend her. 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because 5 is not enough”
“Michelle was excellent very friendly and kind. Great communicator kept you informed. Easily reachable when you contacted her. She was a pleasure to deal with. The dog and the items were returned clean. This was my first experience and I would recommend her 100%.”
“Hugo & Austin took great care of Charlie. Got plenty of communication and photos and videos of my boy. He definitely got lots of pets and cuddles during his stay. Glad I found Hugo & Austin and I look forward to leaving Charlie in their care 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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Oliver! From the moment we met, it was clear he was in wonderful hands. Oliver was happy, loved, and well cared for. We received updates and the cutest pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a comfort knowing your fur baby is being treated like family. We highly recommend this sitter and would absolutely trust them with Oliver again! We can not thank you enough !!! Thank you , Thank you !!! 😊 🐾❤️
We had a wonderful experience with Leah and Juan! They took such great care of our girl and treated her with so much love and kindness. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. We truly appreciate all the care and attention they gave her, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets! ❤️🐾
If I could give Adriana 10 stars I would. She took care of my XL senior american bulldog with the same care and attention as I would. She sent multiple pictures every day, gave him plenty of social time and outside time, and I could not recommend her enough. When I picked him up he looked like he wanted to stay!!!! The truest sign that he was being given lots of love and attention :-)
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 4,567 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.
