“Erika always takes such great care of our fur baby! We came back to her as she did the best last visit and she always kept us updated, pictures, such great communication! I highly recommend her to anyone who visits!”
“I rarely need a pupsitter, and have a difficult time feeling comfortable with leaving our old girl, Cherry, with someone that she's not familiar with. Gabriella welcomed my husband, Cherry, and me into her home a couple of weeks before the scheduled stay and was so patient with us and open to learning about Cherry. For the actual pupsitting (Saturday/Sunday/Monday), the drop-off was seamless and communication throughout Cherry's stay was fantastic! I received many pupdates with videos and pictures. Our girl was treated like one of the family there, which we really appreciate. I recommend Gabriella (and family) for a top-notch loving environment for boarding. We will definitely reach out to her for any future boarding needs.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Koda. Jessica sent lots of pictures and updates. Koda came home happy and healthy. Thanks for a great stay. Would definitely book again. The only downside was Jessica lives on base so we had to meet up at a location off base and transfer car to car. Not a big deal but may matter to some.”
“Very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. My pets seemed comfortable and well cared for when I returned. I appreciated the attention to detail and reliability. Thank you for taking care of them!””
“Ana was wonderful with our dogs! She was very easy to work with, sent updates with photos and the dogs seemed very happy! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sheila was awesome. She gave me great tips on potty training our 5 month old maltipoo puppy. She kept in touch and sent daily photos of Presley. I feel very comfortable with Sheila and will use her again and highly recommend her”
“Robert and his wife have been so awesome! We’ve used them multiple times and our dogs are always excited and run right in to his home when we drop them off. We are sad we’re moving and won’t be able to keep using them!”
“Jeanette and her husband were great with my two doggies! I got an update almost daily and pictures were sent as well. The two are super knowledgeable about k-9s and took perfect care of mine. I would recommend and plan to use again since my pup lab-pit is now the best of friends with hers!”
“Macie was wonderful! I know Rocky was taken care of. She sent frequent pics of my dog exercising and enjoying his time. She was prompt to respond and was professional throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Million was great! Our pups were with her for 6 days. It was the first time we left our 4 yr old with anyone but family, and our 10 yr old requires daily medication. We were nervous, but she was amazing! She was very attentive and sweet with our fur babies. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. They were happy and having fun. I would not hesitate to book with Million again!!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our dog Lady had the time of her life with David, Krysta, their boys, and her new best friends, Archie & Flash. We were heading to the beach for a portion of our vacation, and our condo did not allow pets. We needed her to be nearby and found David and Krysta through Rover. We got great pictures and videos of her time with the family, and their nice backyard and house was perfect for her. She was treated like a member of their family. In fact, when we got there to pick her up, she was trying to go back in their house and keep playing. :) So thankful we found this nice family to take such wonderful care of Lady!”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Erik sent updates and pictures to let us know how Nellie was getting on throughout her stay. Being a Border Collie, she can get quite anxious but settled really well. Thanks Erik!”
“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.”

Ana was incredible taking care of Mila. She kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos, and it was clear she genuinely cared for her from the very start. Mila looked happy and relaxed in her care. We highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Ana!
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!
Harvey accepted our booking about two days before us arriving in town! We were very anxious to leave HoneyBear with him, but she went straight to him and went right in his home. When she was standing at the door barking as we left, he gently closed the door, which definitely helped us and possibly HoneyBear, too. When I reached out to Harvey, he responded quickly and sent us pictures of HoneyBear as well. She was always on the couch (probably beside him)! When we picked her up, she seemed to be content and obviously happy to see her human dad. Harvey definitely earned our trust with HoneyBear’s visit!
Jordan took great care of Uno! She was attentive to his ears after a recent groom and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Uno came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
We had a great experience! She took excellent care of our dogs, kept us updated, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Kalvin was great with our two dogs. We felt very comfortable with him watching our dogs as he kept us updated throughout. He kept to their walk routine and overall made it easy for them to transition to some else’s home for a whole week. We will definitely be booking with Kalvin again!
Nicole was so good with my pup! River was happy as could be when I picked her up from Nicole’s home. I got text updates and photos and it was truly an excellent experience! I got to relax on a short vacation because I was able to trust my pup was in good hands 💛 would 100% book again!
Sheila was lovely and it was obvious her love for pets. She asked clarifying question regarding meal protocols/ allergy treatment etc. She demonstrated her care and concern for Bodhi and Little Sister and communicated daily. I could tell they were at ease. I greatly appreciate her going above and beyond supporting both me and them while scouting for a new home out of state. Thank you Mzzzzzz Sheila🙏🏻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shalimar on Rover is $44.4 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 449 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shalimar. 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.
95% of Shalimar 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 Shalimar 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 Shalimar 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 Shalimar.
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 Shalimar 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.
