“I can’t recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while she was on her cycle, and I couldn’t have asked for someone more caring and loving. She was so kind, attentive, and gentle with her, making sure she felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. I’m truly grateful for the love and attention she showed my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to watch her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life! Growing up with a Lab meant lots of playtime and lots of fur! I now own a puppy Poochon! I’ve given my puppy many baths, medication when sick, and we love long walks! At 5 months my puppy could already sit, lay down, roll over, wait, etc.! I’m available throughout the day because I am a teacher during the school year and I’m off in the Summer! Whatever job you need I can help anytime between 9am-9pm. I have a long path to go on walks in my neighborhood as well as a fenced in dog park. My puppy is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs!
“Barry stayed for 2+ weeks with Tracy. His first stay with her. She loves dogs and treats them well. He was happy to see me but clearly was not needy and enjoyed the stay. I am using Tracy again in 2 weeks.”
“Randy & Karen did a FANTASTIC job with our Franki (Pug) for the 11 days! Kept us updated with pictures. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again on our next adventure.”

I’ll spoil your pet also & make sure they are taken care of.
“I have never left my 2 frenchies for a long period of time - so this visit was extra hard on me, especially since I was going on a cruise with limited contact. Sam was great with my babies, however! I got regular updates whenever I had service, and I could tell they were having fun and loving their time with her and her babies! Definitely will be booking her again for my next trip! 🖤”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Tim treated my Naomi (senior dachshund with lots of routines and habits) like a member of his family. He followed my many (detailed) notes to make her feel comfortable away from home. His place is spacious and offers the comfortable environment that my dog craves (plenty of sunny spots for afternoon naps and lots of green space for walks to explore the new surroundings). Thanks, Tim, for the special care you provided to Naomi.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gateway is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 773 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gateway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway.
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 Gateway. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Gateway 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.
