“Amber was amazing at watching our 3 month old puppy. She kept us informed daily on how she was doing and our puppy had a blast. I would absolutely recommend Amber and we will be returning customers. Thank you!”
“Linda is so knowledgeable about dogs in general but also keeps you well informed about your pets wellbeing! This was our first time using her or blurring them at all and I can tell you they had a ball, which comforted us greatly. She’s a gem I would highly recommend her!”
“Tamara and her family are amazing! They took great care of our girls. Loved the photos they shared while we were away. Definitely book with her. You will be glad you did. We are already scheduled for a follow up stay in May!”
“I am so grateful for Emily and her family taking such wonderful care of my special needs kitty in their home for the past few days. My cat is unable to walk, and they gave her plenty of extra attention and love. Really they spoiled her more than she is at home, taking her on walk-abouts outside, showing her videos on the tv, brushing and scratching her, and giving the essential care that is needed for a disabled animal with special love and kindness. Emily’s daughter even read to her! I am looking forward to leaving her and my dogs at Emily’s the next time we have to travel without them. I strongly recommend Emily to care for anyone’s pets, whether with special needs or not. It’s obvious that she and her husband and daughter all love taking good care of them!”
“Emillie was great! She was very responsive and sent so many updates and photos, which was really reassuring for my dog's first stay. Her home is beautiful and clean, with lots of room. I'd definitely recommend her and use her again.”
“Leslie and James were great! They were very easy to work with. They sent photos every day. It was great to see Audrey each day and how much fun she was having. I would try to work with them again. Thank you both!”
“Luisa and William were fantastic! They treated my dog like family and were very good with providing updates on how she was doing. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Joanna was absolutely terrific. I felt super comfortable leaving Milo with her. Milo was just adopted the same week that he stood with Joanna being that I had a trip preplanned before I adopted him. She took care of him with much love and a lot of attention and he absolutely had a blast with the other fur babies. I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Can’t thank Tracy enough for taking such good care of Miles! He comes home well taken care, and tired. Tracy & her family give him all the love. Thanks again and will see you soon🤩”
“Steve took care of our dog, Maddie, while we were on a two week vacation. We received daily updates on her activities and how she was doing. She looked happy and well cared for which was a huge comfort for us in knowing that she was in good hands with Steve while were away for so long. We returned to a happy dog!”
About: I have worked with dogs and horses for years and I believe every dog will remember me the rest of their lives because they will love me! I am retired and on a self love journey and I want to share that with animals and spend my days petting them and make them behave when needed. I will follow your instructions to the fullest extent possible while taking care of your pets. I can walk the tiny ones or the big ones. I love big dogs!
“Brett and his girls did an amazing job taking care of my dog. Brett sent photos throughout the stay and I felt confident that she was in great hands and being taken care of like she was there own. I will definitely be asking them again in the future.”
“I was looking for a dog sitter closer to my home and found Candace. I have two dogs that had a great time while staying with Candace and Larry. They have a large fenced yard so my doggies enjoyed running and lizard hunting. I will definitely use Candace again.”
“Christina and Oskar were so great with my dogs. They kept updated everyday and took such great care of my dogs. They answered all of my questions and got back to me very fast. I would definitely recommend.”
“Madelyn and her family were so sweet and loved Apollo! We only had a small miscommunication about his harness which he chewed off but she bought him a new one right away and apologized!”
“Brian was a perfect host. House was exactly what you’d want form a sitter. Clean, quiet, and tidy. Great communicator, and he has a great dog that is very friendly and welcoming to my dog. I’ve finally found my dog his new vacation spot when I have to go out of town. Thanks for the great experience Brian.”

Magnolia and Edwin treated tuck like their own. They sent me pictures every day to assure me that Tuck was doing fine. He enjoyed his stay with Magnolia and I believe she spoiled him to death. I would definitely use them again. Thank you for treating my baby with care!
Thank you, Laura, for taking such good care of Luna 8/10 to 8/19. Every aspect of the booking was outstanding from the meet and greet to feeding and exercising Luna. Your accommodations and communications were excellent as well. Again, thank you for the opportunity and I hope to use you again in the future.
Lydia was perfect for my Bodie. He loved hanging with her 5 year old. He loves kids! He can get anxious, but seemed content with Lydia. She doesn’t have a dog, which was perfect for my boy. She had him a week & I felt comfortable with her care. I have never left him before, but was thrilled we found Lydia! Thanks Lydia!’

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake Helen is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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 Lake Helen 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 Lake Helen home-away-from-home, 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 Lake Helen.
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 Lake Helen 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 , 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 .
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.
