“We were thrilled and felt so comfortable leaving our 3 dogs with Gabriella! The dogs were so happy and obviously well cared for staying with her. She kept us informed and sent daily photos which we appreciated. So happy to have found her!”
“Alex took wonderful care of Donny! We are so thankful! We were traveling for a family vacation but needed a few night for Donny to stay somewhere - I was nervous but she sent wonderful updates and took wonderful care of him!”
“Heather was wonderful and took such good care of Dad’s dog while we were away! Great communication and responded promptly whenever we messaged her. Relieved the stress of not being able to take his dog with us. I can not thank her enough!”
“Dana and her sweet family made our dog feel right at home. We are so lucky we found them! Nola was treated to all-day play with the family’s own friendly lab, trips to the park, and lots of attention. We are so grateful. Next time we need to travel without Nola, we’ll be reaching out. Thank you!”
“Lina was amazing! She and her sweet family took great care of our Yorkie while we were at the beach! We were updated regularly with photos and videos. She even bathed our Kiwi and put little pink pig tails in her hair before we picked her up.”
“David, Krysta, & family took incredible care of our dog at their house. They were kind, responsive, and welcomed him as one of their own. He was spoiled and I can tell he had a great weekend by how tired he was when I picked him up. They have a great backyard that he was able to get all of his energy out in. I will 100% use them again and again. Thank you!”
“Chris was a lifesaver! Cabbie Gail loved being there and Chris made her feel like she was at home. Chris was so attentive sending pictures and texts and even had a camera to watch her if he was out of the house. He made her feel loved. His wife was awesome too, And probably even got jealous because Cabbie wanted all of his attention. We will definitely use them again and Cabbie Gail will look forward to going back. Thank you so much for making this so easy for us.”
“Gabby and her family did an INCREDIBLE job watching Stevie. She sent me plenty of photos showing all the love they were giving my baby girl, she looked so happy. I appreciate she let me know when Stevie wasn’t exactly on her best behavior and chewed through a couple items and lacked potty discipline. She assured me it was okay but I do feel bad. They gave her lots of treats and cuddles. I really appreciated all the videos and constant check in. We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand and the drop off was super easy. My incoming flight got delayed and Gabby was super flexible with coordinating a new pick up time, that ultimately ended up being my friend picking Stevie up early. Leaving my baby girl with someone I can trust makes traveling so much easier. I had no doubt Stevie was given plenty of love. If willing, I would love to have Gabby and her family watch Stevie again ♥️🐾”
“Anna was so wonderful with my Max, I got pics and videos every day! She was a vet tech and I felt so comfortable with her knowledge of all his old man medications ? She was also very accommodating when I was going to be out of the country using a different app so we could communicate. Max is even going to be with her for the holidays as well when I’m out of town. I have no doubts he will have another wonderful mini vacation at Anna’s.”
“Barbara took great care of my 3 dogs, she sent great updates too and was very responsive to all communication! Even worked with me regarding drop off time as I got held up at work! Thanks Barbara”
“Dakota and her family were amazing with my dog! They treated him like family, and he had a fantastic time. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great place for their pets! Thank you!”
“We feel that Mia received the best of care from Rosemary & Matthew. I'm sure she was in good hands.....even tho she hid in the closet for most of her stay! We would use them again.”
“Jack and Jordan were awesome sitters. Bumper was with them for seven days. They sent several photos that showed him enjoying his stay. Jack and Jordan were extremely easy to work with, super responsive, and very professional. Highly recommended!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Thank you so much for keeping Dakota you were great and made sure I was updated on how Dakota was doing during his stay I can tell he had a great time will book again with you in the future”

Lina was great with my toy Aussie who is a bit of a handful! He requires lots of kindness & understanding as he is scared of everything! Lina did a great job at making him feel comfortable. She sent lots of updates, pictures and even a fun video! Will definitely use Lina again in the future!
I cannot thank you enough for taking care of my babies at the last-minute booking. Francis is super communicative and solution-oriented, especially since it's the first time they were apart. I felt comfortable and secure with her. Definitely, when I go back to the town, I will book here again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Rosa Beach on Rover is $42.8 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 303 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santa Rosa Beach. 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.
88% of Santa Rosa Beach 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 Santa Rosa Beach 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 Santa Rosa Beach 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 Santa Rosa Beach.
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 Santa Rosa Beach 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.
