“Robert and Mei Li were very accommodating and wonderful with our Rosie. They sent me sweet pictures and updates on Rosie’s stay and progress. We will definitely be using them again. We definitely would recommend them to anyone needing a great dog sitter.”
“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!”
“Cristina was absolutely amazing! My little Bentley loved it over there and I constantly got pictures from her which were adorable he was loved and taken care of and I’m definitely booking with her in the near future”
“Tuany was wonderful with our dog! She sent lots of updates and pictures and took great care of our puppy. Highly recommend booking with her! Will definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“My puppy was well cared for and in loving hands. I received frequent updates throughout his stay and the personalized letter and polaroid picture was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. I highly recommend their services!”
“Leslie, Willa & company did an absolutely fantastic job caring for our Benny. She sent us regular photos and updates and he came home healthy, happy and relaxed. She has a relaxed yet attentive manner which fits perfectly with our boy’s personality. Her girl Willa welcomed Benny and both set their boundaries maturely, quickly and fairly. A+ for Willa too! Always a treasure to find someone who takes such great care of our little man. We’ll definitely rebook with Leslie in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Beata and her family were outstanding. Oreo had a great time with them all. We loved that we received photos and video updates on a regular basis. We will definitely be having our baby stay again.”
“Another successful stay for Miss Bailey - I’m not entirely sure she doesn’t enjoy herself more with Heather and her pack more than she does with me at home? Always a pleasure to plan a stay, and I know my pup is in good hands. Thanks!!”
“Amazing!!! Our dog absolutely loved her!!! The reviews are correct, she takes a ton of pictures so you never feel like you’re missing out on the fun your pup is having, and they’re great photos as well! Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and very responsive. Definitely using her services again!”
“I was so worried Pilot would be anxious since we’ve never left him with anyone. Well Stephen was so GREAT! He sent several pictures daily and responded to my texts right away. He made me feel at ease and I could see Pilot was happy and made a new friend in sweet Bodhi ? as well! Would give him 10 stars!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra! She was absolutely amazing with my dog and truly went above and beyond. She kept me updated with the sweetest messages and photos, and I could tell my dog was in great hands. Not only was she reliable and professional, but she was also incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Jean is absolutely fabulous and goes above and beyond for your pets. She was in contact with us daily, at a minimum, and sent photos and updates letting us know how our pups were doing. One of our dogs is “special” and usually gets gastritis after boarding due to her high anxiety. For the first time, she is a happy, healthy pup after vacation! No gastritis at all! They actually didn’t seem to be in a hurry to come home! Due to the extraordinary care she gave, we didn’t worry about our pups as much as we normally do while away. We will 100% be using Jean again for future vacations and HIGHLY recommend her. Do yourself and your pups a favor and book with Jean.”
“Awesome, definitely recommend Justine to anyone who really wants great care for their pets. She kept us updated very regularly and our Dog really enjoyed his stay. 100 out of 10”
“Michelle took wonderful care of my dogs Penny and Ted. She took them for long walks and out to see new places, always sending frequent pictures and updates. Would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet!”

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.
