“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!”
“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!”
“Anna is incredible! ? While we were away, we didn’t stress once about our golden retriever being taken care of. She sent pictures daily and took such great care our little guy! If you want someone to spend quality time with your fur friend, Anna should be your go-to rover!”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“Dana did a fantastic job taking care of Penny for us! We received photos and videos every day. She played lots of fetch and received lots of snuggles. We will absolute be back to Dana’s in the future!”
“Rosemary and Matthew were very responsive and my boy seemed to have a great time with their family. I really appreciated their efforts to maintain my dog's established schedule and rule following! Would definitely recommend/book with this family again!”
“Erik, is every mommy dogs dream, he was very attentive, flexible when I had a family emergency and rhe times keep shifting, he kept Rocko busy and he also got to lay in the sofa in "man camp" and watch football, I would definitely recommend him to anyone who loves their fur baby, and will use him again next time I'm in the Destin area, thanks a million Erik”
“Best stay ever! Jack and Jordan were awesome, Mickey had a blast. They kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos and general check ins just to say how he was doing! It gave us great peace of mind on our week away knowing our fur baby was in great hands. If you need somebody to care for your pets, I cannot recommend them enough!”

“Our dogs love to go to Sheila's house so much that we don't even have to put them on a leash when we get there... They just run to the front door. And we never worry about anything while our dogs are being cared for by Sheila. Her house is all set up for the dogs and she has a wonderful, large fenced-in backyard.”
“Dana and her family have been amazing! They watched our 5 year old Labrador, and provided plenty of updates. He got lots of play time and snuggles. She was flexible with our pick up time when our flight home got cancelled, and it was so nice to know we didn’t have to worry about our pup! Can’t recommend Dana enough!!!”
“Jessica is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had for Callie! Her personal care, excellent communication, and caring heart made the whole experience smooth and worry-free.

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 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 309 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.
92% 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.
