“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!”
“Sheila treated our dog like one of her own! He seemed very happy when we picked him up. Sheila sent daily pictures and was really responsive the whole time she had our dog. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Myriad was GREAT!!!She was very pleasant and friendly, and even recommended things and places to visit during our vacation. She sent pictures throughout our pups stay. We can tell our pup had a great time. We will 100% most DEFINITELY be using Myrna in the future.”
“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!”
“Rachel and Cody were great with our pup aslan! We got constant updates and he seemed like he was having a really chill time. He made friends with their baby and their husky pup. He was happy and clean and very tired when we picked him up”
“Marcie was awesome from the booking to pickup. She works hard to accommodate and Rusty was a very happy boy. I would definitely recommend and I will be a repeat client.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes my entire life, I grew up with animals and currently have 4 of my own ( 2 cats 2 dogs) and have experience in all age ranges I’m a stay at home wife so I’m always free to fit in any pet care you need. My own dogs are in and out all day long so I’m used to being available all the time I can stick to whatever routine you currently have for your pets, my own are on strict and detailed routines so I understand needing a pet sitter who can follow routines and give all animals the same level of care my own receive
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and everything was so simple and fast. Schyrita was great and gave us updates on our fur baby. I will definitely use her again, next time we are in town.”
“Very attentive to my dogs needs and gave him time to adapt so that he could play with the larger group of dogs. Sariah was awesome to work with as she was super flexible with pick up and drop off times.”
“Renee is nice, her house is nice (although I didn't see the backyard so I can't comment there). She has several small dogs who played with Walter. She was good about texting pictures and communication.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was old enough to scoop food into a bowl! I have always had cats and dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have a cat and Goldendoodle of my own. I recently transitioned into a low stress remote job, giving me plenty of time to take my pup on walks and to the park. Prior to this, I dealt with finding the daily time to give my own pets the exercise and attention they deserve. I am more than happy to give others the relief I found from pet sitting/walking since I have a lot more time on my hands! I am happy to make any accommodations needed when caring for pets in their own homes, and strive to keep them as comfortable and in routine as possible! As someone who also needs pet sitters when traveling, I know the importance of feeling confident with who is caring for your pets. Whatever I can do to make them happy, just say the word!
“Mikaela was very good at hosting my puppy . She was very understanding with my work schedule and kept me updated on her behavior and her stay . Definitely would recommend her and use her again if I’m ever back in town .”
About: I love dogs with all my heart, they're so fun and every dog has their favorite spots to go or favorite toy to play with and I will treat them with unlimited hugs and belly rubs! I love getting to know dogs because every one is individually special in their own way and I'm here to cater to all their needs possible! I used to have a big British Bulldog that I took care of during my middle school and high school years. Which I miss dearly, but I just love all dogs in general by their unconditional love and energy. Working part time, availability will change here and there but I keep my schedule updated on here so we can get you and your furry friends taken care of I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood park nearby, plenty of space and I love being active with them so they'll be able to get some loose energy out too!
About: We are newer to the Niceville area but we have had dogs all of our life! We are very active and take our lady girl everywhere we go (walks, on the boat, restaurants, car rides etc). Lady gets along super well with other dogs. Lizzy works from home so can accommodate drop in visits and boarding and any care you may need for your dog. Lots of pictures and updates to assure that you know your pup is in good hands! We would love to take care of your furry friend for a day/night/week/weekend! Lizzy works from home so is super flexible ! Lady goes everywhere with us as she is not just a pet, but a member of our family! We strive to go above and beyond to make your pet feel comfortable and safe! Multiple walks and TLC are a must! We will keep you updated on how your pet is doing while you're away with daily pictures and updates so you feel good about their stay.

Roxy had such a great time with Naomi. She was in constant contact with me to keep my anxiety level low. Roxy loves Naomi so much, that when we got home, she looked for her and whimpered. I will definitely be using Naomi again. She treated my baby with love and care as is she were her own. 💜 Thank you Naomi 🐕💜
Kalvin took good care of our dog Chico. Chico is a very happy doggie when we pick him up from Kalvin house. Kalvin takes him for walks, play with him, and comfort him during thunderstorms. We love the fact he only keeps one pet at a time. I would highly recommend using Kalvin to watch your furry baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shalimar is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $54 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 445 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Shalimar can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shalimar home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
