“It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and Jeff was extremely kind and understanding. He sent update pictures praising our girl and showing us she was having a blast! He introduced her to his dogs one by one and was very responsible about her being smaller. He made her feel right at home! We recommend him 100%”
“When I got home, Cupid was sleeping so hard he didn't notice me. I can count on one hand how many times that happened! Thats good that he didn't cate, means he was relaxed while I was away. Super Grateful that both Sally and Izzy shared their beds and crates because my dogs are clueless to boundaries. Daily updates kept me at ease too! Thanks again!”
“Melissa and Harlee were Fantastic. My Chiweenie George was happy and well taken care of. Their house was perfect. Big back yard, wonderful layout. I will definitely use Melissa and Harlee again in Key West.”
“I chose Victoria since she had over 200 wonderful reviews. With that being said, she is a pro at the dog sitting business. She has dog bowls and poop bags on hand, keeps a clean blanket on her couch, and has tile in her front room. Downtown location is unique and close to attractions. She was very sweet to our pup and he enjoyed helping her water her backyard garden.”
“Elizabeth and Neal, were amazing. When we first met them they were very professional, such a huge relief was worried about leaving my pup with a stranger, Margaux was excited to get in their car and play with their lab Piper. They sent us pictures and updates. Always responded right away super felxible! We were able to enjoy our vacation and know our baby was being played with, taken on walks, and well cared for. Thank you!! Definetly recommend them! Hope to be able to have them as a sitter our next time down. =)”
“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!!!!!!”
“Betsy was so kind and accommodating. She had short notice of our needs, but she was very communicative and willing to help. She was EXTREMELY sweet with our dog. We received updates and pics as well. We will definitely look to Betsy when we return to Key West!!!”
“Dona and Gary were our last minute pet sitters when we realized our hotel was not accepting dogs. They were flexible, gave us photo updates of our Bailey and took her for a walk. Nice experience. Thanks again.”
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!!”
“Maryna was absolutely amazing! She sent photos everyday and my little guy was so happy. I was gone a week which was hard leaving my little guy behind, but Maryna sent updates frequently. I will definitely use Maryna again. He absolutely loved her as did we.”
“My little dog is 16 or 17 years old and I couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone and not worrying. But after the first stay with Christy I completely relaxed and didn’t worry at all. I knew Houdini was going to be treated with as much love and care as he could possibly get. Thank you.”
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: 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Key West
Amazing our Cosmo was happy! We’re in a trip in Key West, Our dog wasn’t able to handle the weather. Found Melissa last minute she was very responsive and willing to take Cosmo in. He stayed for the day, she kept us updated. Send us pictures. Thank you again for taking care of him.
Amy was great with my two dogs, Penelope and Bimi. Amy watched my two girls during Fourth of July. Penelope is scared of everything, especially fireworks and thunder storms. Amy let my dogs sleep in her bed and kept them calm and made them feel safe. I appreciate that a lot. Amy said she would be happy to watch my girls again and I would proudly take them back to her. Thank you so much! 😊
Victoria has been amazing with my baby Kahli! She has taken care of her for the past three weekends, and every time I felt completely comfortable leaving Kahli with her. She was also able to help me last minute, which I truly appreciated so much. Victoria is reliable, caring, and treats Kahli with so much love. It’s such a relief finding someone I can trust with my fur baby. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
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!!

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Key West
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Key West on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 30 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.
