“I cannot say how thankful I am for the care Amy provided my dog. This was the longest I had to leave him but Amy made it better. I received updates and could easily get in contact if I wanted to check in. I know that my dog had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend Amy.”
“Jeff is truly caring, thorough and knowledgeable. He was flexible with our dates changing a little and he offered for her to spend a few hours over there as a warm up before our trip started. I highly recommend him!”
“Harlee loved our dogs as her own. We were able to pick them up for outings in town. And our pups were always happy. Harlee followed all our instructions perfectly. We will be back.”
“Victoria took such good care of my pup! I was nervous because he had always been babysat by my mom back home and this was his first time with someone new in a decade. She communicated daily to reassure me. She also took amazing care of his coat - he looked like he just came from the groomer. When I came to pick him up I could tell they had bonded and he was happy! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Betsy was AWESOME!! She was so sweet with Arya and took extra steps to make sure she was comfortable and sent so many pictures and updates. We would highly recommend Betsy!!!”
“Very very good! My dogs are hard to attach to new people but they both had no issues with both Brendan and Gaby. Both sitters were very patient, kind, and sweet to by dogs and my dogs seemed to love them. They walked, played, and got along well with their sweet doogie. Beautiful place not all the way into Key West, it was very easy to get to. Would definitely use Gaby and Brendon again. They are hands on with the dogs, both work from home so the dogs always have company. Super Sitter!!!!!!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including my family dog, Ottie. I am well-versed in daily feeding schedules, routine walking, administering basic oral medications, reinforcing good behavior, and providing plenty of individual attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk or gentle companionship, I treat every animal with the utmost care and affection. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. Outside of standard daytime work hours, I have consistent availability for early morning, evening, and weekend walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and overnight house sitting. I keep my calendar up to date and communicate promptly so you always know your pet's schedule is fully covered. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your established rules, keep entryways secured, respect your living space, and maintain familiar daily routines. During walks, I stay vigilant about leash control and outdoor weather conditions, and I always send clear photo updates so you feel completely at ease while away.
About: From as early as I can remember, dogs have been at the heart of my life. I believe every moment with them matters. Hi, I’m Shay. I’ve lived in key west 10 years and have lots of pet experience! Find me on Instagram - shewolfcanineservices Fun fact about me: I am currently studying dog behavior and psychology and moving towards becoming a certified dog trainer! I focus on creating walks that are both physically stimulating and mentally engaging, tailored to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and needs. I make sure each walk is a safe and positive experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in every interaction. For me, dogs are more than pets—they’re companions, teachers, and a source of endless joy. Being able to support their well-being is not just my work, but my passion. My schedule is flexible and does change often. However, Sometimes I get called into work so if I am watching your dog, you have to be okay with me leaving my house and allow me to work my other job. Though this does not happen often. If it does I will let you know. As I do with my own dog, I come back after work, let him out and give him love and attention. That’s what your dog will get from me as well. If I am gone too long, my boyfriend would is just as dependable as I am will let the dogs out and feed them. He helps if I need help, but I rarely ever need help. I have 3 different size crates at my place (small, medium, large) so if I need to crate your dog before I leave my house, let me know. I will care for your pup as directed and will provide a peaceful environment for them as well as playtime, nap time, and keeping a consistent schedule. I will provide stimulation as needed based on the dogs energy levels.
“Belinda is perfect for our anxious dog Boomer. She’s relaxed, calm and welcoming, and fit his needs with her constant attention. Belinda kept us informed, asked questions about his meds, and helped us problem solve to make sure he took them on schedule. Her patience and dedication to dogs is amazing! Her quiet location and fenced yard are great too! Definitely a 5 star stay!!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned a Husky, Lab, and Jack Russell Terrier, so I understand how different each breed's personality and needs can be. I'm comfortable administering medications, reinforcing basic training commands, and working with anxious or nervous dogs to help them feel safe. What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every dog I walk. I don't just provide a service – I build relationships and treat every pet like they're my own. I run my own business from home, so my schedule is flexible and pet care fits right into my day. I can offer morning walks, midday visits, or evening strolls depending on what your pup needs. I also live on base, so if you’re stationed there too, I’m able to get on base easily for walks, no extra coordination needed. Safety is my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings, watching for other animals, traffic, and potential hazards. I respect your home by following your specific instructions – whether that's wiping paws before coming inside, securing doors and gates, or maintaining your dog's routine exactly as you've outlined. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I'm reliable, respectful of your space and belongings, and always communicate clearly about how the walk went. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.
“This is our 3rd time having Maryna care for our dogs. They ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! And we do too! She is so easy to communicate with and will spoil your dogs while you’re away. We would give her 10 stars of the system would let us! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“Jessica and her family are absolutely fantastic! Our Golden was very happy with them. So much so that he was bummed when we left their driveway. I have no doubt we will rebook with her.”
About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!
About: Hi, I’m Amy! I grew up right here in the Florida Keys, where I work as a local artist. I have always had a big soft spot for dogs. When I am not creating art, I bring that same energy, patience, and care to dog sitting. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and overnight stays to keep your pup happy and active. One of my favorite dogs I have ever cared for is Tiki, a pool loving Jack Russell! Staying active and keeping dogs cool and well hydrated in the Keys heat is a huge priority for me. Whether your dog needs a fun, energetic walk or just plenty of play time and yard games, I am here to make sure they feel loved and safe. You can always count on clear updates and lots of photos while you are away. I can not wait to meet your dog! I work part time as an artist, which gives me a very flexible routine throughout the week. Because my schedule is open, I can easily fit in morning walks, midday drop in visits, and evening care. Pet sitting is a top priority for me, so your dogs and cats get dedicated time, attention, and care right when they need it. When caring for pets in your home, safety and routine come first. I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, play, and house rules. I always double check that doors and gates are secure, keep your space clean, and send frequent updates. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, calm, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: Finding good, trustworthy, affordable care for your pets in the Keys can be challenging. Our family struggled for years to find a pet sitter and dog walker we could trust. So when I finally retired, I wanted to be able to do for others what I wish I could find for my family. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and have cared for my own (plus too many fosters to count) for over 30 years. I volunteer for several pet rescues and my husband and I have set up our family run 501c3 rescue transport with a dream of starting our own dog sanctuary someday. I am extremely active and one of my true joys is dog walking and outdoor playtime so rest assured your dogs will get plenty of exercise (if that’s what you’d like). I am retired and have an extremely flexible schedule so whether it’s just a single mid day walk or 3-4x a day visits while you’re on vacation, I can be there. I have a great deal of experience in special needs (I have 3 myself) and elderly dogs and cats and treat them with special patience and understanding. I have experience with puppies and their challenges and I have an impressive understanding of breed and behaviors. Rest assured that I will treat your pets with respect, kindness, love and affection while also adhering to the structure and rules that you have for your pets. Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you’d like to set up a meet and greet. I look forward to meeting lots of new dogs friends. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I primarily pet sit in the Lower Keys but am also available for Key West for dog walking. I have a large fenced yard which opens into a park for playtime. We also have a doggie door and large porch for sunning and watching the neighborhood. I take my dogs on 2-3 walks a day along a little traveled area near our home.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Key West is $65
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Key West
Awesome, we have a Belgian Malinois and he is very high energy. After the initial meet and greet, she was very gracious and excellent!!! I was very concerned about leaving our pooch with someone while we were away, but she was awesome. We received daily updates and pics and Victoria kept us up to date. Recommend 100%!!!
Jaime was AWESOME!!!!!!!! And I cannot stress that enough!! He took amazing care of Leo while I was on my trip. Everyday they were doing something! I got photos daily, great communication and my dog was one happy pup all week! I will most certainly use Jaime’s services again!!
Very very good! My dogs are hard to attach to new people but they both had no issues with both Brendan and Gaby. Both sitters were very patient, kind, and sweet to by dogs and my dogs seemed to love them. They walked, played, and got along well with their sweet doogie. Beautiful place not all the way into Key West, it was very easy to get to. Would definitely use Gaby and Brendon again. They are hands on with the dogs, both work from home so the dogs always have company. Super Sitter!!!!!!
Erin was so great! I got daily pictures of the dogs having a blast. Erin did not hesitate to agree to give my one baby twice daily insulin injections and three daily pills. Her home is the perfect environment and she took them on daily walks. Would definitely recommend. Have already booked her again!
Belinda is perfect for our anxious dog Boomer. She’s relaxed, calm and welcoming, and fit his needs with her constant attention. Belinda kept us informed, asked questions about his meds, and helped us problem solve to make sure he took them on schedule. Her patience and dedication to dogs is amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Key West on Rover is $61.05 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 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 August 2026, there are 31 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Key West. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Key West 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 Key West.
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 Key West 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.
