“I felt total confidence in Ana the minute I met her when we did the first "meet & greet". Her house is secure and doggie proofed. My dog loved being there, I can tell because of the photos she send a couple times a day, everyday. He seemed very content and relaxed. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great, communicative, caring dog sitter.”

About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.

I was naturally nervous about being away for so long, but they kept me completely at ease by sending regular text messages and photo updates of him. Seeing Toto happy and well cared for made all the difference. They are trustworthy, professional, and truly amazing with dogs. Five stars all the”

About: Ive been around all kinds of animals since before I could walk. Ive owned and trained my dogs all my life and have always been the go to for friends and family to take care of their animals if they were traveling. Im available every day after 3pm and on the weekends Im free when needed I just need a few days notice so I dont have scheduling conflicts. I have a large back yard and one pup of my own hes vocal but friendly as can be. My yard is not fenced but we go on regular walks and jogs. My floors are epoxy so theres no need for worry of stains or messes if youd like your pup to be separate we can arrange something.

“Where do I begin? Natalie has been so wonderful, in the past and for this most recent stay (8 nights). We received photos, a video montage/slide show, and the most adorable full sheet of little stories about what Poppi did, didn’t do, and other fun things. Natalie was very flexible, both our departure and return times changed, and she was very agreeable to the changes- and happily accommodated said changes. Natalie’s daughter totally embraced Poppi’s loving nature (I.e. lots of licky kisses!) which was above and beyond. I hate to provide such a glowing review because I’d selfishly like to keep her all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair! All dogs deserve to be loved and cared for as my Poppi has been. Thank you Natalie (and family)!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed the unique experience each one brings with them from their personalities. I have a large backyard of 2 lots fenced in together for my Doberman so that we have lots of space to play and he can really stretch his legs. He loves playing with other dogs and we are hoping to make lots of new friends, both with fur and without. I do most of my work from home, Sunday- Wednesday I am home all day, and I do have my 10 year old son after school on those days, but we go for multiple walks, and do playtime in the yard which is 1/2 acre and fenced in. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I do work but typically only 5-6 hours outside the home. If I am going to be working longer on a day where you're booked I will communicate that ahead of time. I have 1/2 acre, my back yard is large and entirely closed in so it's safe and secure to let multiple dogs outside to roam, run, and play with no worries. I have a large run that I have completely cleared out for playing catch with my doberman so he can really stretch his legs and get going. I do let the animals in my house, and they will spend most of the time inside when it's hot, with frequent opportunities to go outside and play/ exercise. Inside if the dogs are playing together, I usually leave them to enjoy each other, otherwise I frequently engage with them with whatever toys they want to play with as the day goes on and they're not napping.

“Claudia and family were wonderful. It was our fur baby’s first time being away from us overnight for days , and we were nervous on how he would take it. Claudia was so sweet and loving and we appreciated how she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. The fully fenced outdoor area is awesome, we live on an apartment so his outside time is limited , so having the opportunity to play freely outside was so cute to see. Claudia makes sure to send videos and photos which made us happy and relaxed to know he was in great hands.”

This is the second time using Jennifers services. My dogs are very weary of personnel they have never met. My dogs to Jennifer from the first time meeting her. Jennifer is very gentle and loving with my dogs. The dogs actually get very excited when we are in route to dropping them off. Jennifer is very responsive to any text or emails that are sent. I would highly recommend Jennifers services.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took care of both of our dogs for an entire week while we were in Mexico, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was dependable, caring, attentive, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands while we were away. It’s not easy leaving your pets for a whole week, but Jennifer made the entire experience stress-free. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, which says everything. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much, Jennifer! 🐾❤️

Natalka & Nikita were absolutely wonderful to Sydney and made her feel right at home! Sydney has issues with being terrified during storms and they were so loving to her. Natalka kept us up to date on Sydney's care throughout her stay with them. We felt that she was so cared for by their whole family. We would absolutely book with them again and again!

Absolutely perfect! Communicated rapidly, provided pics and comments during an in-home stay, she was attentive, personable, caring and passionate. A beautiful person with character, education, culture and a moral compass. I have used Rover numerous times and Katie provides services that are above the normal. Capable and knowledgeable for caring for a variety of animals will be very helpful in the future. Our choice for in-home care due to a recently rescued cocker spaniel was to help adjust to a new home. What a surprise to see Katie's expertise in connecting and becoming a best friend to our cocker. What a comfort to have our home and best friend looked after in the best possible way.

Tifani took great care of our lab. She sent us videos and photos every day while we were away and she responded to our queries in a timely manner. She gave our dog lots of cuddles, walks and play time and treated him like he was part of her family. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Murdock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Murdock is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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 641 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Murdock. 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.

97% of sitters in Murdock 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 Murdock 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 Murdock.

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 Murdock. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 Murdock 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.
