“Gabrielle was amazing. My dog is high maintenance and has separation anxiety. He was so happy with her. Gabrielle will take excellent care of your baby!!! 100% recommend her.”
“We simply could not have asked for better pet sitters for our fur babies! Chris and his wife took excellent care of our two dogs for 11 nights while we vacationed at Miramar Beach. We were sent regular updates and pictures of our dogs that kept us from worrying about them. They worked with us, so that we could visit and take them to the dog park on 3 occasions. The dogs went on regular evening walks and received lots of love. Chris and his wife went above and beyond and their thoughtfulness exceeded our expectations. We would use them again without hesitation.”
“Heather was absolutely fantastic with our pups. No fuss, sent us photos each day. My babies were healthy and happy when we got back. She has my recommendation for sure.”
“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!”
“My husband and I were so happy to have found this very sweet family to take care of our Rosie! They definitely made our medical trip much easier knowing she was loved and well taken care of.”
“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.”
“Erik did a great job keeping my updated on how things were going and sent pictures as well. Flexible with the drop off and pick up times and was quick responding/communicating.”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“Juniper had a lovely weekend while we were away and Anna sent many photos from their time together. Anna was very communicative and accommodated our drop off & pick up times.”
“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.”
“Monica was amazing and a total life-saver! We needed last minute boarding for our labradoodle puppy while on vacation and she responded immediately and was the absolute best! She loved on our puppy and sent updates and pictures and we knew he was having the best time! Would give more than 5 stars if we could! Thanks so much, Monica!!”
“Ginny did such an amazing job, my dog Apollo was treated wonderfully. He was there for about two weeks with a mixture of other dogs. I had frequent updates, and was told how he was being treated - the peace of mind was fantastic. I would easily book with Ginny again, I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Aurora was the best! I had a family emergency come up and brought my pup a few days later than scheduled and she was more than accommodating. She updated me many times throughout my dog’s stay with photos! She was very responsive to any questions I had and was flexible with the pick up time! I highly recommend Aurora for your next 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.
“Naomi is very caring with all her animals. She always sends updates with pictures and my little dog always looks so happy and comfortable in her home. I never worry while I am away and Jack is with Naomi because I know he is in good hands.”
“Dana was amazing with our two pups. They loved the all of the extra attention and we got to see pictures of them playing with her sweet family while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her as a safe place for your pets to relax while you’re away!”
“Chelsee was wonderful with our girls! We have two one-year-old, very active dogs and she did not hesitate to take them on! She was very communicative during our trip and sent lots of pictures (which helped us to know how well they were being taken care of). We truly appreciate Chelsee and her care of our girls and would definitely entrust her with their care again !”

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.
