“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!!

“Sarah was great! She took care of my Bella as if she was her own. Sarah is friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely use her again if/when the occasion arises. Thank you, Sarah!”
“I would definitely use Sarah as a pet sitter again! She made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication and very easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures during the stay. Also, updates on how the nervous pup was! For her to house both pups was SO helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Rebecca and Michael had our chihuahua again. The communication and pictures is very consistent and frequent. They have never missed a beat when they have watched our dogs. I have 0 fear leaving them with Rebecca and Michael. If you are needing a sitter I recommend them for sure.”

“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. They had lots of fun. Plenty of room to run and instantly felt right at home. I am very particular about who cares for my babies when I unable to take them with me but, I did not feel uneasy with the love and care they were getting at all. She sent pics and communicated with me the entire time. I will definitely go to Abigail again in the event I need to be away again.”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic with our two Golden's. With the booking itself, she was quick to respond on relatively short notice, and we were constantly updated with pictures and videos of how our babies were acclimating. My wife and I cannot say enough great things about how well they were taken care of. We will not hesitate to rebook with Lauren before our next trip. Bobby and Tracy”

“I'm so grateful for Paige; you can tell that she is an animal lover; the first time my dog met her, he felt comfortable and safe with her. I love the fact that she sent me daily updates with pictures. I really appreciate it. I highly recommend her; she definitely has a new client now. Thank you, Paige!”
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“Beautiful family, Picasso felt just like he was at home. He loves children and they were plenty of activities for him to do and I love that he had a fence backyard to go and plan. I would recommend this Sitter to anyone.”
“Rebecca boarded my puppy for several days, and I have never been more impressed with any dog sitter in my life. She is a genuinely kind person, and, upon meeting her, I immediately knew she was someone I could trust. She sent photos and descriptions of him having a fantastic time with her every day, and I can tell that he thoroughly enjoyed himself while under her gentle care. I honestly would not have felt more at ease unless I was watching him myself. Her house is tidy and charming, and her children are absolute darlings who are great with animals. Also, if all of that wasn't enough, he chewed his bowl and she sweetly purchased a new one for him! I am so thankful that I found her.”
“Denise communicated really well with me throughout Ruby's stay. She sent pictures of Ruby which we really enjoyed seeing, not to mention took her in last minute. Thanks Denise, we look forward to Ruby visiting again.”
“I hired a pet sitter for the week because my puppy was still potty training. Catherine was great. She made sure Daisy continued to train and even took her with her places. She had many outdoor adventures, was socialized and I received pictures of their outings. I would definitely book with Catherine again.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Palatka is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 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.

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.
94% of sitters in Palatka 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 Palatka 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 Palatka.
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 Palatka. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Palatka 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.
