“Mary is great! She's watched my dog several times, and always sends lots of pictures and is very responsive. My dog gets excited when we pull into her complex. Definitely recommend!”
“Jack spent a week with Christina and her family. Looks like he has a lot of fun playing with his friends from the pictures and videos I received throughout the visit. He has slept since we got home hours ago, tuckered out from running in the huge back yard. Thank you for opening your doors and taking great care of Jack. Rebooking for a long weekend later this month.”
“Our two beagles Larry and Betty really enjoyed their stay with Christine and all her fur babies. Christine updates us with photos and messages daily. Our dogs were definitely living their best doggie daycare life in Christine’s care. We would highly recommend her!”
“Athena and Richi were amazing with Paloma! As someone who’s never used rover or left my puppy with strangers, I was super hesitant and nervous. However, they sent lots of updates and videos throughout the day, reassuring me she was getting along with the other dogs and eating just fine! I’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen was most accommodating to my last minute requirement for a pup sitter. She was very communicative and sent me pics of my pup throughout her 2 day stay. I got delayed due to construction and rain so I ran late getting back. Kristen was most understanding as I kept in contact to keep her apprised of my ETA. My pup wad happy to see me and looked very well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Kristen if you need a dog sitter as she is amazing. Thank you again, Kristen!”
“Leslie was absolutely wonderful! She was sincerely excited to have Winston in her home. Her house is set up very well to host dogs and the fenced in yard was great. She sent us pictures of Winston throughout his stay. I would highly recommend Leslie and we look forward to reserving Winston a stay with her again.”
“Plain and simple - VASTI IS THE BEST! Amazing care of our precious little Morkie, who is not easy to care for, as that breed can be very possessive. She did a great job, sent constant updated pics and videos, showing her care and he really took to her attentiveness. We will definitely be asking for her services again in the future. Highly recommend her for your pet as well.”
“Stephen took special care of my mini poodle Cocoa. He sent me pictures throughout the day showing how comfortable Cocoa was . He watched him for 8 days and I had peace of mind that my baby was well cared for while I was away.”
“Jason and his wife were exceptional with my puppy. I had constant updates and pictures. She was always with someone, having, fun, or sleeping. I know she was spoiled! They were also amazing at following her schedule and continuing her command training. I felt really good leaving my puppy with them for a week!”
“Kathy is a gem and Banksy made a new friend with my boy Chubbs. Chubbs was very happy and engaged which means he truly was loved on. Think we found our permanent sitter.”
“David took such great care of our dog! He sent lots of pictures and we could tell she was very happy and felt safe with him. She can get anxious so it meant the world to us that we didn’t have to worry about her when she was with David. We will definitely book with him again!!”

My puppy Kiwi had the best day with Beata and her family! Beata updated me throughout the day with how she was doing, and sent lots of pictures and videos! I loved seeing her have fun and play with the other dogs. Beata took such great care of kiwi, I will definitely book with her again!
Suzie was absolutely amazing. I do not leave Roscoe much. I work from home and we do not travel much. He had the best time with Suzie. I received pictures and messages on him consistently. Roscoe was a family member in their home not a visitor. I would absolutely recommend Suzie to anyone.
We are so lucky to have found Faith! We have never left Chesney for a week, especially with someone she didn’t know, but she did great. Faith and her family gave Chesney so much love and attention. Faith provided me with daily updates and photos and I could tell Chesney was well taken care of. When I picked up Chesney I could tell she was very comfortable being there. Faith will be our forever sitter as long as she will have Chesney. Thank you Faith and family for being so caring and attentive!!!
I felt so comfortable having her stay with my dog, Nacho, for the weekend. He was so happy when I got back home after Victoria had been with him the whole weekend. She showed him a lot of love, played with him and had great communication with me the whole time. Thank you so much for everything!!
I was visiting from out of town and needed a dog sitter, which is incredibly nerve wracking! Tuany put me at ease - she’s a pro with a set approach in meeting and greeting us, sending photos, etc. She cared for Dixie like she was her own which is very much appreciated!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Safety Harbor is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $53 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.
96% of sitters in Safety Harbor 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 Safety Harbor 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 Safety Harbor.
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 Safety Harbor. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Safety Harbor 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.
