“Kathy is a gem and Banksy made a new friend with my boy Chubbs. Chubbs was very happy and engaged which means he truly was loved on. Think we found our permanent sitter.”
“David was amazing! Thunder and I were so happy and felt very safe and comfortable having nrhiser staying with him! Will definitely be back. Thank you so much! Sent pictures all the time and he gave Thunder love as I do 😊”
“Linda was very accommodating and took good care of our old boy, Chewy. She sent frequent updates and even has a dog stroller for older pups that may need help getting around. <3”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Osman. She took great care of him, ensuring he was well-fed, comfortable, and happy. We appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Autumn took great care of my Thor baby. It was his first time away from his owners and we were worried about his separation anxiety. She took great care of him and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Kept us at ease seeing him so comfortable and happy.”
“Leeza provided outstanding care for our two dogs during the 2024 Thanksgiving holiday. She kept us updated daily with detailed reports, along with photos and videos of their activities, which brought us so much comfort. Her home and yard were perfect for our dogs, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about their welfare and happiness. Having used Rover for years, we can confidently say that Leeza has been our best experience yet—for both us and our dogs. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking peace of mind and exceptional, professional care for their furry friends.”
“Christina is amazing! We left our babies for a week with her and I just can say they had a great time at Christina’s home. She sent us updates and pictures and was very responsive and compassionate. My small dog was injured and she took great care of her and helped her to heal faster. My other puppy was scared of dogs and she helped him to be more confident. Also, all of her dogs are so sweet so it was great exposure for my puppy. Now, he seems to be more happy and confident around dogs. Definitely the best experience I ever had with a sitter. Thanks, Christina! ♥️”
“Another extended stay for Prince means another great time at “summer camp” at Jennifer and Austin’s! We’ve been so thankful over the years to have found amazing dog lovers who open up their home to other dog parents who like to make sure their pups get all the TLC they deserve. Jennifer and Austin definitely deliver! Prince gets all the snuggles and scratches he needs and we can tell he loves his time at “camp”! We’ll be so sad to see Jennifer and Austin leave the DC area and are jealous of all the new pet parents who will get to experience their thoughtfulness, warmth, and affection for dogs in their new city! Prince says ‘thanks for everything’!”
“Susan took wonderful care of our dog. We arranged a meet and greet a few weeks before and I instantly knew my dog would be in good hands. Susan sent photos each day she was with my dog and kept me informed of how she was doing. This was my first experience using Rover and I will definitely book Susan again.”
“O Pam was amazing with our dog,Lola. She kept us informed with so many great pictures. Lola always enjoys her time there. Would definitely recommend using her. 🐶”
“Dawn took great care of our 2 boys at her house. She sent me updates and pictures and was very flexible when our return late night flight was delayed even later. We will definitely use her again.”
“Our dogs loved their time with Gianna and her big yard out back! She sent daily updates and pictures. When we came to pick them up, they were very happy, will certainly be visiting again. Great stay, thanks Gianna!”
“Xenia provided pictures and updates during Louie's stay. Having to board a 4 month old pup is stressfull, however Xenia was reassuring that he would be a good fit in their home and with their older dog. Louie was happy when I came to pick him up.”
“Dian treats our puppies like her own!! They have absolutely loved spending the past couple of weekends with her. They cry when we leave because they miss Dian and her puppy. We are new to the st. Pete area and thrilled we have found the perfect sitter for our pups! You won’t regret booking with Dian.”
“Kerri is a true dog lover. She took such good care of my energetic dog. She was very accomodating, communicated quickly and sent update photos and texts while we were out of town. Highly recommended!”

“Cathy continues to be OUR FAVORITE sitter for our senior girl Oreo. She loves Oreo so much, and Oreo is right at home there with her. When we have to travel I sleep better knowing that our pup is in great hands and comfy at her home away from home. Cathy, thanks for being the best and loving Oreo so much. We are grateful for you!”
“Alli was amazing with Oatmeal! She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. Oatmeal looked so happy, especially playing with her sweet dog Mack. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

She is awesome, i can tell my Osa was given lots of love while i was away, i felt so good by looking at the pictures she sent me and i could tell my dog was behaving way better with her than what she does with me so that was impressive to see aswell, i encourage you let her take care of your loved dogs, you will want to find any excuses to bring them to her again, that is how good she is. I loved her
Dawn watched our golden retriever Mila. Mila is a very shy puppy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Dawn sent us multiple photos and videos throughout Milas stay showing us everything they did that day! Mila had an absolute blast and did not want to come home. She especially loved her new cat best friend. Dawn even gave Mila a bath! Truly went above and beyond. We will be using Dawn again!
Michelle was amazing with Zumi!!! Wow! Zumi had a great time relaxing but more importantly exploring the area. He especially loved his first beach day! Michelle sent lots of pics which we absolutely loved. We felt like he was in perfect hands and with someone who truly cares about him. Thank you Michelle <3
I highly recommend Alexa! As a nervous new dog mom, I was hesitant to leave my puppy, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured. She was trustworthy, communicated promptly, and sent photos and updates every day while caring for my pup. Knowing that she is a nursing student also gave me added confidence in her responsibility and attentiveness. Her dogs had so much fun playing with my puppy, and it was clear that my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. I will definitely be using her again!
We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for Jax! He was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time we were away. Regular updates and photos of Jax gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious he was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
Gabrielle was an awesome dog sitter for our old lady! She met us quickly for an introduction and was more than happy to help for a few days to get to know our girl. She handled all of her personality, corks perfectly, and was very responsive. We will definitely be using her again!
Geraldin was absolutely fantastic for my dog (golden/collie mix) while I was out of town for five days! Tucker remained very active - both around her neighborhood, as well as taken to dog parks and around the community! Tucker came home and was exhausted (which to me is one happy boy!). She was very kind and attentive to his needs, as well as of my instructions etc. for Tucker. I received daily photos, and he was given so much love and attention. I will ABSOLUTELY have Geraldin watch my fur baby for all boarding needs in the future!!! 💗🐾🐶🐶 11/10 recommend Geraldin!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gandy is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Gandy can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gandy 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 Gandy.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gandy. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Gandy 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
