“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.”
“I can't say enough good things about Melissa & Harlee. This was Penny's third stay with them and it was great for all of us. We, the parents, didn't worry about a thing and Penny (the pup) was always in great spirits, so we could tell she was happy too. Melissa & Harlee were very accommodating by allowing us to pick Penny up daily for breakfast and return her afterwards. We received regular updates, which at this point, I don't really need because the trust is there, but I do love seeing her and what she is up to.”
“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've been surrounded by dogs since I was a child, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I've looked after the pets of my family and friends, making sure they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. I also have my own rescue dog, whom I adopted from a shelter. With patience, love, and consistent care, I've helped her become a happy, confident, and well-adjusted dog. This experience has taught me that every dog is unique and deserves kindness, understanding, and personalized care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always follow each owner's instructions carefully. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Currently completing some online courses so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available 7 days a week, mornings, days, nights and overnight as well. Safety is my main priority when caring for anyone's pets. Each client is unique and I will figure out what works best on a case by case basis.

Betsy is the best! We are here for a month and we’re looking for a pet sitter to keep our Doxie, Ginger, when we go out for the day in Key West. Ginger absolutely loved being with her and looks forward to the next time! We feel that we found a wonderful pet sitter that sends pics to keep you updated and make you feel at ease knowing your pet is in good, loving hands!
Melissa and Harlee were absolutely fantastic! They sent the best photo updates, we’re so easy to communicate with, and I could tell they truly love taking care of pets. My dog Perry clearly had the best time with them and we will without a doubt be requesting their service in the future. Thank you!!
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!
Rylea was absolutely wonderful with Honey! She took her to the beach, checked in with me multiple times, and made me feel so at ease while I was away. She’s incredibly sweet and it was clear Honey was so well cared for. Five stars all around, will definitely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Key West is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 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 35 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 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.
88% of sitters in Key West 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 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.
