“Marley was very well taken care of. I didnt worry about him at all. They sent pics and video. They took him for walks. We will use again for sure. Very very nice people!”
“Erika was phenomenal and is definitely a dog lover - not just a dog sitter!! She kept me updated on Bella’s stay which was lengthy, sent pictures and I trust her totally! I will call Erika going forward for all our travel and am sure Bella loves her new home away from home!”
“Ashlee was great! Our little Bella seemed like she was comfortable pretty quickly when I dropped her off. Ashlee said she tries to group smaller dogs together when sitting. Bella was by far the smallest but she was with dogs that are supposed to be similar size to her (she was the runt and just never got beyond 7lbs!) She ate more than she typically does when going to unfamiliar places which was reassuring as well. She came home happy but exhausted. The home is very pet friendly😊”
“First time boarding our Teddy with Karen R. Karen kept me informed with many photos and stories of his days with her. I saw the love she had for him and he came home a very happy and well cared for boy. Will definitely choose Karen the next time we need a pup sitter. 💙🩵”
“Carla and her family were amazing with Sky! Sky was so happy in the pictures Carla sent to us. Thank you so much for taking great care of her. See you again in a couple of weeks. ❤️❤️”
“Thomas and Lyndsay took great care of my baby. This was the first time leaving Mika with a sitter, and we were afraid she wouldn't be ok, but she was very happy. We would definitely leave her again any time with them. Thanks for everything!!”
“Gulcin took care of my golden doodle (Leo) for 11 days. She was spectacular! She loves animals and treats them as part of the family. She even allowed Leo to sleep with her in her bed when she heard that he usually sleeps with me. It is clear that she does not only take care of our furry babies for business, she truly adores animals. When I picked up Leo, she kept talking to me about all his quirks with a smile on her face :) I will definitely board Leo with Gulcin whenever I travel in the future. Highly recommend! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sandra saved me this week by taking care of Belle, and even picking her up and dropping her off. Belle got to play with other pups and seems very happy ? Thank you Sandra!”
“Vetra was so good with my dog. She stayed over July 4 and there are a bunch of fireworks which my dog hates and Vetra did her best to comfort Lily. We’ll definitely be using Vetra again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! He did an exceptional job attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. What really gave me peace of mind was that he always sent photos and videos, keeping me updated every step of the way. My dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and professional to care for their pet.”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”
“Emily and Aaron are fantastic people! They really did treat my baby as if he was their own. The pictures I got everyday was just the cutest and you could see how truly happy he was. Their son is so adorable and so gentle with the dogs, he enjoyed playing with Sparky I would definitely recommend this family for dog boarding, I know we will absolutely use them again. Thanks again for loving my little fur baby!!!!”
“Absolutely satisfied with them! My sweet kitty only had a day with them, but they were so communicative. Sent me pictures and documented on paper how he was during his stay. I was very nervous because I have never used a service like this before. Completely calmed me with their attention service. I would definitely recommend and use them again!”
“Cynthia and her family are amazing! Cynthia was in contact with me daily for updates and pictures. She made sure my dog was well taken care of and felt right at home. I highly recommend Cynthia for any and all future visits. She and her family will take care of your dog like they are their own and make you feel more than comfortable about leaving your pup for a few days!”
“Dana was absolutely an incredible dog sitter. Molly, my dog, cried as we pulled away in my car. Dana sent pics and updates frequently! Molly looked like she was so at home and I’ll def be bring her back :) 5 star experience on everything! Drop off and pickup also very easy. Outstanding communication!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Cesar. He took great care of our dog, and we can tell our dog was happy and comfortable throughout the stay. We really appreciate the regular updates and pictures- it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a wonderful time, and we will definitely use him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sanibel on Rover is $83.25 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 748 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.
