“I, or should I say Harley loves to stay with Scott an Angel. I really open their house and make it a home for your fur baby! I have used them several times and Harley gets really excited as we pull up. If you are looking for a safe, fun place for your pups vacation this is it!”
“Kristen was amazing! She sent us regular pictures and answered any questions I had before we met. Kristen might have actually done too good of a job our dogs were as excited as they normally are to see us when we picked them up.”
“Mark was great with our dog. He made Bentley feel right at home. Mark was great with communication and flexible with timing of drop off and pick up. Will definitely use him again.”
“Karen made a last minute trip so easy and stress free when our usual sitter was unavailable. Coconut was very spoiled during the stay and came home so happy. We will be booking with her again for sure!”
“Caesar always takes the best care of our dog while we are away. From the moment we get out of the car our boy is immediately excited to be there, and we leave without worry or concern because we know he is going to be taken care of, played with, and treated so well.”
“Denise was great to take my dog in a week before I had to leave. My dog got along great with her dog. I recommend her highly. My dog had to take medicine for allergies and Denise didn’t hesitate to do the job. I will bring my dog to her anytime.”
“Rody was AMAZING with my fur babies. She spoiled them rotten and sent me lots of updates and videos and pictures which was so appreciated. I have never left my puppies anywhere and was quite nervous about it but Rody went over and above what I was expecting. If anyone has concerns on whether to leave your babies in her care, DON'T, cause she is absolutely the best at being a bonus mommy and I have recommended her to all my friends, plus she is very affordable and her husband and adult son were also very welcoming. Will absolutely use her for any future care for my fur babies!!!!!”
“Darlene took great care of Kimba. Took just a short time to get comfortable with her and considered himself at home. Will definitely look to use her again.”
“Gretchen did a wonderful job taking care of Cooper! She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Cooper was happy and comfortable when we got back, which says a lot. Gretchen kept us updated and made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Cassie and Michael welcomed Bruce into their home and made him feel like part of the family. He got along well with their handsome boy Diesel! I will book again.”
“Kristine made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We dropped our dogs off at her place, and she kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos while they were in her care. She was friendly, punctual, and fair, and we could tell our dogs were in good hands. We’d happily book with Kristine again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!”
“I am a returning client. Brian and his wife are amazing Brian communicates daily, sending pics of our girl. Brian is also very upfront and honest of his current/upcoming commitments so you can decide if it works for you. Brian’s house is dog friendly and I’m completely comfortable leaving our girl with Brian.”
“We could not do a meet and greet in advance because we are not local. We had some back and forth conversation to give both of us peace of mind that this was a good fit. I can confirm it was a great fit. Theresa appeared to be attentive to my 3 doodle mixes. She sent frequent pictures and communications. I could tell through the photos that my fur babies felt safe (i.e. sleeping on back). I would absolutely love my fur babies to visit again next time we are in the area.”
“Aaron was great with peanut!! He really was so accommodating with so many of our trip schedule changes and it made us feel so good to know that our doggo was being taken care of by such a nice individual! Thanks Aaron ??”
“Cameron was absolutely amazing! She worked around our weird schedule and was very accommodating. Our sweet little Rey came back as happy as ever I know she treated her as if she was her own”
“Tonja & George are great with Benny!! They’ve watched him over 20 times in his 4 years, ranging from overnights to week long stays, and we have never had an issue. They are great with communicating and sending updates of our baby boy! Thank you!”
“Hannah and Aaron were great!!! 5 stars for sure. Treated our guy as their own. Communicated well and sent us pictures throughout. Will absolutely book again with them without hesitation.”

Adam and Katie were absolutely wonderful dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with, responded promptly, and sent plenty of photo updates throughout the stay so I knew my dog was in great hands. I would book with them again in a heartbeat and encourage others to do the same.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Melbourne Beach is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $67 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.

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 Melbourne Beach 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 Melbourne Beach 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 Melbourne Beach.
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 Melbourne Beach. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 Melbourne Beach 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.
