“I am driving home with my dogs after leaving them with Jorge and Osvaldo for a week and I could not be happier. The communication during the stay was fantastic, and the funny stories afterwards were even better. I have an upcoming trip in the next few months and I’m already looking to book these guys again. I give them a 10 out of 10 and feel comfortable telling anybody to book with confidence.. Thank you both!!! ( and your kids )”
“Adrienne and Nick(along with their family) provided an awesome experience for our dog while we were on vacation. Gucci stayed 5 nights. She received so much attention and had a wonderful time playing with their pets! We received many pictures and videos. I wouldn’t hesitate leaving Gucci again with them.”
“Felicia & Greg are the best! Very communicative and more than happy to accommodate when our plans changed last and we needed to extend Bimini's stay. It is so nice to go out of town and know that your pup is in great hands. Bimini always comes home worn out from all the fun she's had. Thank you both so much!”
“I 😘 the family that took care of my Canine companion. They noticed that Scout had itchy ear and notified me and he's been doing great.i would 100% use them again. You will not be regretful in choosing them to care for your furry child/ren.”
“Our boys enjoyed their stay with Mark. Mark was so wonderful. He would respond quickly with any questions we had. He also kept us posted about our boys. It was so reassuring to know our boys were in great hands. Thank you so much again Mark for absolutely everything. We will definitely be back.”
“5 Stars! Gretchen took wonderful care of Gravy Boat, who has special needs and needs a lot of hands-on care. She cleaned and rinsed him several times a day, kept his bedding fresh, gave him his meds and snacks, and was patient while he warmed up in a new place. She sent regular updates and photos, and pickup and drop-off were easy and on time. You can tell she loves animals. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Kristine cared for our fur baby like he was her very own. Augie adjusted very easily to Kristine as she is quite the dog mom. He enjoyed walks, playing with another pup, and being well taken care of while we were away. We didn't have any concerns leaving Augie with Kristine and we would be happy to reserve with her again.”
“Rebecca is great , she took care of our 11 year old Papillon for a week. She would send us pictures and have a quick chat to assure us that Apollo was doing good. Very content with her care for our baby . Thank you Rebecca”
“Olivia and family were terrific watching our Sully. Lots of picture updates and overall well being of him while he spent his time with Olivia and her family. Sully got lots of walks and attention. Overall great experience having Sully stay with her.”
“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!!”
“Josephine took very good care of Odin and Zumi. She was very communicative and shared photos while we were away. Seamless drop-off and pick-up. I would highly recommend Josephine and would rebook again in the future.”
“Whitney was awesome! Very accommodating and great with Piper who is 16 yrs young 🙃. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again. Her updates and photos made my day! She was definitely a pleasure to work with.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since the day I was born. I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, and birds, and I’ve owned and cared for dogs ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Rottweilers. Throughout the years I’ve attended basic obedience training with my own dogs, cared for puppies, adults, and senior pets, administered medications when needed, and provided gentle, patient care through illness and recovery, including nursing a Labrador through heartworm treatment. I’ve even helped deliver a litter of kittens. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I treat each one with the same patience, kindness, and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work remotely from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My evenings and weekends are also available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines and will follow your instructions carefully so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and share my home with three small, friendly dogs who are part of my family. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals from puppies to senior pets, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing training and routines, and providing regular photo updates so you’ll always know your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I can accommodate pets who prefer their own space and will always prioritize safe introductions based on each dog’s temperament.

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.
Gretchen is an amazing sitter! This was our first time boarding Molly with her, and she immediately made us feel at ease. She has a beautiful home and a very clean, welcoming setup for the pups. Molly came home happy and well cared for, and Gretchen kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout her stay. We couldn’t be happier to have found Gretchen and her sweet family to care for Molly. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave her and would absolutely recommend Gretchen to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy sitter!
Everything went great! My dog stayed for 3 days and was so happy. Communication was great, and I loved getting pictures of him enjoying his time with the other dogs. He looked very comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend them and book with them again! 🐶❤️
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Palm Bay is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 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 of October 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Palm Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
