“We left our three dogs with Gabrielle again for 10 days while we went on vacation, and she was absolutely amazing! She sent me daily pictures and updates, spoiled my dogs with so much love, and made sure their medications were given. With two blind dogs and one senior, I never have to worry because Gabrielle and her fiancé always take such great care of them. They truly are the best! Highly, highly recommend!”
“Such a great experience! We hadn't boarded our doggo since 2019 and Alexandra made it such a wonderful experience for us and our Sophie. Daily pictures and checkins, and even sent her home with her handwashed food bowl. Will absolutely use again!”
“Ms Ruby had a fantastic weekend getaway! I received plenty of updates of how she was doing and pictures of how much fun she was having. Finished it off with a spa day! Will definitely have Tami watch her again when I travel!”
“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.”
“We are so grateful to have had Heather watch Rex while we were on vacation. She was so sweet and sent us pictures everyday. The whole family loved on him and he was well taken care of. He even barked and tried to go back in her house when we came to pick him up! 😂”
“David and Krysta were fantastic. They have a wonderful family and my dog felt comfortable almost immediately after I dropped her off. David kept me informed, on the daily activities, sent me pictures, and provided behavioral updates. David and Krystal responded promptly adjusting to me very short notice request to drop off Bree and when I arrived ahead of schedule to pick her up. I would highly recommend this family if you need assistance in caring for your love ones. Truly thankful for this experience as it was my first but will not be my last.”
“Amanda was amazing with our labradoodle! She was quick to reply and made the whole process simple and stress-free. She sent me photos and a video of my boy while he was at her home, and my dog loved playing with her pup, Sully. Thank you to Amanda!”
“Dana was great with my dog, Elsa! Elsa usually barks a lot and takes a while to warm up when she's in a new place but she didn't bark at all when we dropped her off and picked her up! Dana gave me regular updates and Elsa came home happy! I would definitely use Dana again!”
“Chris watched our dogs for 10 days while we were traveling which was the longest we have ever left our dogs. He was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and our dogs loved staying there. Chris was extremely responsive, sent many updates with photos, and went above and beyond to provide us with information on local vets as we are new to the area. Our one dog is sick and he provided her with the various different medications she needed. We could not be more happy with the service Chris provided and are so thrilled to have found a dog sitter in the area. We have already used Chris for a second stay when we went out of town and will absolutely book him in the future when we have to travel. Highly recommend!”
“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 ♥️🐾”
“Highly recommend Jack & Jordan! We received pics and updates on our dog and he always looked spoiled and happy. I will definitely use them again when we go out of town!”
“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.”
“They took our 2 puppies with no problem . We got pictures of them everyday and feedback on how they were doing! It was a great service and will look to use Erika and Jason again! ☺️”
“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Jessica and her husband were more than hospitable to our pups. They kept us updated with pics and text letting us know how they were getting on. Great communication and amazing people. Worth every penny!”
“Chantal and her family were so sweet to our old man. Her puppy played well with him and he felt so comfortable! Chantal was kind, professional, and gave our furbaby lots of love! She is now our go-to dog sitter!”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“Ashley always cares for our dog like one of her own. She sends lots of pictures and updates while sitting and we enjoyed reading and viewing the updates. Wonderful experience for our dog as always!”
“Hi Eberyone, I had another really great experience with Rover and the dog sitter I chose. Barbara sent pictures and updates every single day. I didn't want to be the worry wart Mom but I guess I was. I was so relieved when I heard from her. The cool part is that the dogs met outside. Farley loved her two lttle friends right away. Never did the Mr Macho stuff he usually does around other dogs. I knew they would all get along great. I will recommend Barbara and Rover to everyone I know that boards their dogs. It was another fantastic experience. To top it off - he came home very relaxed. Which hasn't been the case at other times. Thanks again Barbara. Oh, and Rover.com for such a great experience.”

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.
