“Laura was absolutely amazing! This was the very first time I wasn’t worried or a little stressed whether or not my fur babies were taken care of. She sent me updates and pictures throughout their stay, and it looks like they had so much fun. So happy to have found Laura, we will definitely keep her as our go to! Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was so nice and cared for my two Aussie babies for two nights while I was out of town. I loved getting pictures throughout my trip. She took them out for walks and they looked so happy and comfortable with her. 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be back💕”
“I would recommend Jeily to anyone needing a dog sitter! She was flexible with our constant changing schedule and gave us daily updates of our pup Teddy. I trust her with our pup and I think you can too!”
“Andrea is great! Our chihuahua had a fun time staying with her family - slept in the kids’ beds at night, snuggled on the couch during rainy days… just like he was at home. Andrea is thoughtful in her procedures so that all dogs are safely introduced and acclimated. We will absolutely be booking with Andrea again!”
“Christy is amazing with our three mini schnauzers. They took to her very quickly. She sent daily updates with photos and responds quickly. We found our new pet sitter. Thanks!!”
“My dogs were so well taken care of by Ms Benae! She sent tons of pics of them playing, snuggling, and doing fun activities. She even gave them treats and toys. I am so thankful and will be booking with her in the future.”
“This was my very first experience using Rover and Kemarie was wonderful. She provided lots of pictures and updates on my dogs activities and was quick with all communications. Plus, she is super close by to me. My Elsa had a great weekend!”
“Jessica was a last-minute reservation to keep Shelby for me as I had to fly out of the country. She gave me updates daily on him with pictures of how well he was doing, and I’m amazed because Shelby is such a mama’s boy that it’s too funny that he adapted to other people as well as he did I will definitely”
“Ellen was amazing! My dog has some separation anxiety and she was so comforting! Her communication was quick and the updates put me at ease on our trip! She definitely has a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs!”
“Kyle and Laura took excellent care of our pups. They were very accommodating to our last minute request, kept us updated and sent photos. They spent time walking our pups and playing with them, and sent them home all tired out and happy. We’ll definitely be using their services again.”
“This was our second time leaving our pet, Zeta, with Jessica and while we were on vacation, and we will never use another sitter! Jessica and her family are incredible and Zeta had such a great time! Zeta got more love, attention, and care than we could ever ask for. It’s wonderful to have this peace of mind while we travel :)”
“Fiona sent pictures and an update everyone day and twice the first day! We enjoyed hearing how well our pup was doing and seeing how happy she was to be running around and playing outside. Plan on using Fiona in the future!!!”
“Our boy had a blast at Terwrin's! We received pictures and updates daily. He even got some couch time! He was happy when we picked him up. Terwrin even had him and his things ready to go, to minimize the chaos, when we arrived. We definitely felt at ease leaving him and will book again. Thank you for showing our Winston some love for a few days!”
“Had a wonderful experience with Tim and Mariah! Their home was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, which made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They were attentive, providing updates and photos of my dog showing it felt right at home, and she looked so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I highly recommend Tim and Mariah to anyone looking for a warm and caring environment for their pet.”
“Elaine took great care of my dog while I was away on a family emergency. It was comforting to know my girl was in good hands while I was dealing with a stressful situation.”

Nicole was great to work with. Constant communication from her and I felt my girls were well taken care of and pretty sure they want to go back. She answered super quickly for the initial reservation and I always felt like my girls had her undivided attention. I will be using her again if she will let me.
Benae is the absolute best pet sitter I have ever had!! She is so accommodating to my ever changing schedule. She treated my dog like royalty and spoiled him so much! I felt super comfortable leaving him for long term boarding. She is super communicative and sends lots of updates while he is there. I recommend her 100% and will use her for as long as she allows me too!!!
Stephen took the very best care of our boy, Fred, while we were out of town for a couple weeks! Stephen kept Fred very active, gave us wonderful updates each day about how Fred was doing, and best of all, he gave Fred a happy, peaceful, loving home while we were away. Stephen is the very best, and we know we will use his dogsitting services again.
Claire took our dog Rati on super short notice and when we needed little extra time was totally helpful and willing. My dog is a service dog so my bond with my animal is extreme and so important. So the fact she was willing and able to help was so important to be able to take care of her, which I never do. This was the first time ever using Rover or Claire. So I would recommend both.
Logan was a saving grace. We requested him last minute and within the hour we had our pup dropped off. We had confidence when leaving that our Graham was going to be safe, well cared for, and have a ball playing with Shaggy (Logan’s dog). Logan sent regular updates with pictures and went the extra mile by washing Graham’s bedding before sending home. Wonderful experience. We are grateful and would definitely send our pup back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pensacola on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 492 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pensacola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Pensacola sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Pensacola landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pensacola 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 Pensacola.
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.
You and your Pensacola 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.
