“Lora and Brenda have been lovingly caring for our pups for a few years, now. Whether it has been just a few hours or two weeks, the quality of care has consistently been first-rate. The level of trust we have come to appreciate has allowed us to remain at ease knowing our precious boys are safe, happy, and treated like family, while we are away.”
“Felicia and Greg were amazing with Bimini! From the very beginning I felt that she was in great hands while we were gone for a week. They provided updates and pictures to ease our minds which was much appreciated. Bimini had plenty of room to run and a couple of playmates to keep her busy. We know she had a great time. I would definitely recommend Felicia and Greg!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. She always sent me pictures and updates on Chubby everyday. She was really nice and professional. Chubby had a blast and I will definitely be using her again. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their furball!”
“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.”
“Olivia was amazing with our dog Nikki, assisting us last minute, picking up and dropping off, taking lots of pictures and going above and beyond with our little fur baby's care needs. Definitely will use again for any time Nikki needs a good sitter!”
“Debra was amazing! She was so easy to communicate and coordinate with. She took such good care of my babies, sent pictures and updates daily, and made sure they felt at home. Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Cammie was the best! Eva is very timid but was so comfortable with Cammie and Rick. I got pictures the entire time and I could tell Eva felt right at home! She was extremely patient with Eva and checked in to let me know how she was doing. Cammie will be our go-to sitter from now on.”
“We had an incredible experience with our Rover sitter and couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the very beginning, he was professional, attentive, and clearly cared about our dogs. We have two Australian Shepherds, and he handled their energy, routines, and personalities with ease. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out was how he handled an emergency. One of our dogs became sick while we were away, and he acted immediately, seeking the care our dog needed without hesitation. He kept us informed every step of the way with clear, consistent communication, which meant everything to us during a stressful situation. His quick thinking and calm approach made all the difference. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, especially in an emergency, but he went above and beyond in every way. We are beyond grateful for the level of care, responsibility, and compassion he showed. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, responsive, and genuinely caring.”
“Gloria was such a blessing. Our Luna had never spent time with anyone other than family. She did so well with Gloria! Gloria sent pictures daily with updates on how Luna was doing! Everything was wonderful! Thank you!!!!”
“I’m so grateful to Gail for taking such good care of our dog. We were so nervous about going on a cruise and leaving our dog with a stranger but the minute I met Gail and her two adorable goldens during the meet and greet I know our dog was in a safe, loving home. Our dog had a blast with her dogs, running and playing in her backyard. Gail sent us pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves what a great time our dog was having. Thanks so much Gail!!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing with Meechie! She kept me updated the entire time, made sure he was safe, comfortable, and happy, and even gave him the cutest little photoshoot 🥹. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she boards and treats them like family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. I would 100% trust her with Meechie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving, reliable, and attentive!”

Gretchen and her family are truly the best. They took such wonderful care of Molly, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Molly gets nervous during thunderstorms, and she was staying with them during the terrible flash flooding in Brevard County. Gretchen went above and beyond to make sure our baby felt safe and comforted, giving her extra love and attention during the storms. She also kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind.We absolutely love leaving Molly in their care. Gretchen and her family are trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely loving pet sitters. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our girl. Highly recommend them! ❤️
I want to sincerely thank her for the excellent care she gave to my dog Deuce. She was always attentive, communicative, and patiently answered all of my questions. She also kept me updated at all times with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her 100% for the care, dedication, and love she puts into her work. We look forward to booking with you in the future.
Brandi is a genuinely caring and attentive pet-sitter! She accepted our pittie as a client, (most pet sitters won’t), and followed all my instructions to the letter. She communicated and sent pics throughout their time together. She gave Molly extra attention when she was anxious during thunderstorms. We feel confident in Brandi, as she works as veterinarian tech. But it’s really her kindness that won us over! We will definitely use her again!
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.
Brittani is great! She really cares about the well being of your pet and she shares pictures and communicates professionally throughout the entire time. Overall positive experience and I felt more than comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would highly recommend, especially if you want someone who cares!
what could be more important than who takes care of your dogs? Bailey is a wonderfully caring, loving, responsible, responsive professional who took excellent care of my two dogs. She is a pleasure to work with and I will be back again and again - Bailey is the best!
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Palm Bay is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 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 498 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Palm Bay. 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 Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay.
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 Palm Bay. 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 Palm Bay 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.
