She also has a doggy door to her backyard and STAR LOVES IT. Not to mention she is very respectful.”
“Alicia and her family are the best! They always take fantastic care of my dog for boarding whenever we leave town and need someone to take care of him. He is a senior dog, so we appreciate how they treat him with care as if he were one of their own”
About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
About: Apart from taking care of my own dog with epilepsy from ages 14-18, I worked as a dog walker in NYC at My Dog Hikes. While working at My Dog Hikes, I walked dogs, pet sat, and took them to the van for a day long excursion in up state New York. My schedule is increasing free these days after my graduation from Florida State University. I teach guitar lessons at Mason's School of Music one day a week, and would love to fill this time with animal interaction. I am an avid exercise enthusiast and would take them to the parks for walks or runs. When I care for a pet, I pay attention to what the pet is needing at that moment. It is easy to acknowledge and address these signs while doing other things around the house. I am able to take dogs out very easily to our backyard with a leash. When I am in a client's home, I am respectful of the space and leave everything exactly as they left it. I was required to do this in Manhattan often. I would receive a client's house keys and walk their dog while they were at work.
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering at the tallahassee animal shelter for over a year now and it has taught me how to take care of all different kinds of dogs (medical, puppies, even the blind!) I have also been a dog mom to my own 3 doggies for years :) I am a student and that makes my schedule extremely flexible to be able to give your dogs the time they deserve! I am available most week days from 1-10pm, and can also make a drop by before 8am classes or during my breaks through the day :) I have a fenced in yard at my house but also enjoy walking my dogs as much as possible because my dogs love to sniff and see all the new things- I hope to be able to do the same with your dogs
“So glad to have found Kate! She took great care of my Yorkie while I was away. I can always tell when my baby girl had a good experience. She was playful and happy when she got home. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Thank you for the wonderful care our dog received. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Christy was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Thanks Christy!”
About: I've grown up with a bunch of dogs and also have walked my neighbors dogs in the past. I've had all the dogs you could imagine; big dogs, small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, energetic, lazy! You name it, I've taken care of it! I'm currently working part time in the summer so I would have loads of time to take care of your pups! I'm free basically every day before 10:30 am and past 2 pm! I am very flexible with my time so I could be at your home as little or as much as your puppies need. I will provide much love, care, or exercise for your doggies.
“Courtney was wonderful with my dog Chase. She sent me lots of updates with messages, photo's and video's so I could see that he was fine. He enjoyed his stay as well. Thank you Courtney for taking care of Chase!”
“Margaret took amazing last minute care of our dog Ollie when we had a mix up with our planned pet care. She sent frequent pictures and we could tell that she wanted to make sure he was comfortable. We got him back very happy and content. We will definitely use Margaret again in Tallahassee.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs within a large variety since I was 10. From my own German Shepard mix to my closest friend’s terrier, I’ve catered to dogs small and medium sized with care and lots of fun! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job but my schedule is flexible. I can squeeze in appointments during the week but weekends are mostly free. I take cautious note of any allergy or routine concerns I am given from the owner about the animal. I live in an apartment which is very pet friendly and cleanly.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Meridian is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $41 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 of November 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Meridian. 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.
98% of sitters in Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian.
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 Meridian. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Meridian 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.
