“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“My 7 month old Maltipoo loved her stay with Samatha. She actually found a way that she’ll actually eat dog food. She actually also groomed her. Got pictures during the week. If I need her again, I will definitely call her again. She didn’t even sleep in her bed. She slept with her 8 year old daughter. Willow loves them.”
“Amazing as always, thank you Sandra for continuing to watch our girl. If you are looking for someone to care for your fur baby look no further! Couldn’t be more happy!”
“I never give anyone 5 stars, but Karen and her husband are amazing!! Cole had the best time. We received many videos of him playing. He was very well taken care of, and we will definitely be using their services again.”
“Thomas & Lyndsay’s place has become a second home for Flynn. They treat him like one of their own, and he’s always comfortable lounging on their couch. He enjoys spending time with their pets. Perfect for overnight stays or longer visits!”
“Teresa took great care of Louie. He’s on medications and she had no problem following the schedule and timing needed. Kept me updated with photos and videos while I was away. I will definitely have her watch him in the future.”
“Ashlee is our go-to dogsitter whenever we’re visiting Ft Myers! She takes good care of our dogs (including one tripod) and I’m so glad we have someone we can trust in town to watch them!”
“Claudia is a pro. Delightful host, sweet family, and took the very best care of my pal Rocky. Rocky had a blast, and Claudia sent pictures and stayed in contact throughout the entire visit. She even resolved a Rover calendar error quickly and smoothly. A+”
“We have a very soft-tempered three (3) year old female German Shepard who has never seen a boarding facility. We have used Rover on 2 other occasions with her, so needless to say, we are "picky and fussy" about who we entrust to care for our dog. We found Natasha and Gaspare on Rover and began a discussion. After a meet and greet, we knew that Timber would be well-cared for. Natasha's communication skills are above-par. She is prompt and very responsive. While we were away, she returned all text messages and sent us updates on Timber's day, with photos included. Natasha and Gaspare have very calm demeanors. They do not get easily excited and that calmness is a great character trait in a Rover sitter! When we picked Timber up, we were supposed to pick her up the morning of December 26th; however, we flew in to Ft. Myers on Christmas Day. We really wanted to get our baby back and while realizing it was Christmas, I thought I would ask if it was at all possible to retrieve Timber early, on Christmas Day evening. She replied immediately that this was no problem at all, and when we picked up the dog, she had Timber's belongings all packed up and ready to go. We went into their home, the dog looked at us, wagged her tail, and then proceeded to run up the stairs to the second level with one of their children. I wasn't expecting that response! That reaction alone told me that the care she had received was outstanding...the dog had had a BLAST!!! As if picking up a dog on Christmas Day wasn't a burden enough, Natasha sent us home with a care package...some treats for Timber, a Christmas ornament with her name and paw print inscribed, and a report card. It seems as though Timber had become what we used to refer to as "the Teacher's Pet"! If Natasha is available to take Timber in the future, I will not even bother to contact anyone else. She has my business secured. A+++. Dave Berry”
“Diana took care of my Frenchie and did a great job. Offered communication at every step, with pictures and videos. She was available to answer questions all the time. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
“Yan was excellent! This was my first time away from my new pup, but she assured me through pictures, videos, and constant updates my boy was very well taken care of. She went above and beyond to give him the (much needed) attention he demanded and listened carefully to my recommendations and instructions. I highly recommend Yan and thank her for making this a very good first time away from my puppy!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Can't say enough good things about B! She took such good care of my two boys and I know for a fact they had a blast. When we picked them up they were very happy to see us but as soon as we got them in the car they passed out-a good sign that they had a fun filled week. I received lots of photos of my boys and that was so appreciated! B was very responsive as well, responding to all my texts/ calls in a timely manor. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for future sittings. Thank you B!!!!”
“Emily, Aaron, their two boys, and their little Yorkie were super to deal with. They have a wonderful home, and yard, set up very nicely for my dog Snoogums to visit. I felt very comfortable with the arrangement. They sent me photos throughout the stay, with my dog playing, going on walks, sleeping. and playing. I felt comfort while on my trip with their communications. I would definitely repeat with them while away on my next trip. A definite A+ Dale & Snoogums”
“Lori and her family are wonderful. She took great care of our little girl. She was constantly in touch, sending pictures and texts. If given the chance I'm sure our dog would prefer to stay with them, there were great. Lori is flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be using her again.”
“This was Rocky's longest stay with Krista - 7 days. WE received pictures 2x a day. Our Rocky was happy - went on walks, got lots of snuggles and was well cared for! We are so happy that we found Krista. We will definitely continue to use her in the future. Worth mentioning ...we had our Granddaughters wedding in Ohio. Kristra was not feeling well and still took care of Rocky. Rather than cancel she still took care of Rocky for us She's the BEST!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sanibel on Rover is $68.47 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 735 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sanibel. 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.
100% of Sanibel 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 Sanibel 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 Sanibel 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 Sanibel.
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 Sanibel 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.
