“My dog had a great stay with Adam. This was her second stay, and she was so excited to see him and both his dogs again. He even went out of his way to plan a play date between my dog and a dog friend she made on her first visit. My dog will continue to stay with Adam when she needs a sitter!”

“I am so pleased with the attentiveness James and Laquita gave to our very senior poodle, Annie. They are very much animal lovers! Their home is lovely an very clean. They sent pictures of Annie everyday (sometimes several pictures). They are highly motivated to follow your directions to the letter and they ask a lot of questions in order to better respond to your pet. I was exceptionally happy with the love and care Laquita and James provided for our sweet Annie and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to recommend them to others!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also taken care of many of my friends’ pets! I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, and responsible, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student, but my schedule is really flexible! I only have one hour of class on Mondays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets, take them on walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention! I’ll make sure your pets are always comfortable, safe, and well taken care of! I’ll follow their usual routines, make sure they have everything they need, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away!

“From the moment I met her, I had full confidence in Brenda because she told me that she wants to be a veterinarian!!! When I reunited with Kaussie, it was evident that Kaussie had already fallen in love with Brenda and her family due to the exceptional care he received. Also, Scooby played so well with Kaussie that I was overjoyed to see Kaussie make a new friend. Most of all, Brenda's backyard is incredibly spacious and securely fenced, so Kaussie might have been reluctant to come back to his home, lol. Choosing Brenda might have been a coincidence, but I truly believe it was the luckiest decision I made!”

About: I’ve had animals since I was around four years old, including three cats and three dogs. During those times I was tasked with feeding and taking care of them properly, along with house sitting friends and families animals while they were on vacation, or just out of town for a period of time. Any task related to animals pet care I’ve most likely done and I love all animals. I’m currently a part-time worker with the Seattle Mariners with a different schedule weekly, working a variety of different times allows me to be very flexible with your scheduling! The animals home is their home, and the pet’s owners know best. Whatever you recommend to gain their trust is what I’ll do (and unconditionally give them love). Safety is number one priority for both myself and the animal, so if anything arises that I think is worthy asking the owner, I’ll call right away.

About: I have 5+ years of experience caring full time for my own furbaby + friends/family's precious pups! I also have experience with potty training and crate training. You can expect your pup to be treated like my own during their stay with me! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I can be home with your pet throughout the day these days. I also am completely free on weekends :) Depending on your pup's preferences, we might go on some fun nature hikes near our neighborhood or just chill at home and let them enjoy our large fenced backyard! I have a large fenced in backyard, a lovely neighborhood for walks, a dog park nearby, and several hiking trails nearby as well. We have a large doodle named Elvis who will be in the house. He is super friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is also crate trained so if your pup needs some alone time during the day or prefers to sleep alone at night, we can accommodate that.

“My sister lives in the area but is not a dog lover so I needed to find someone to take care of my 5 year old Bichon. I read the feedback for all of the Pet Sitters and Laura stood out since she had had many repeat customers saying nice things about her mannerism with dogs. So, we took a chance and had Teddy boarded with her. She was FABULOUS! Every day, I got several pictures showing what fun Teddy was having at her house, with her dogs and taking walks around the neighborhood. I felt very at ease knowing Teddy was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Laura again the next time I am in Palm Beach Gardens. She is terrific!! Thank You from Teddy and me!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - McIntosh

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in McIntosh is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $34 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 452 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across McIntosh. 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 McIntosh 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 McIntosh 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 McIntosh.

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 McIntosh. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 McIntosh 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.
