She's so sweet and great with the pups. They love going to her house and don't even look back! Laura has also gone out of her way to help me with other animals who stay home, cats and birds. I'm so grateful! Highly recommend.

Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!

Vanessa was a godsend. We was looking for somewhere to put our puppy last minute when we ran across the Rover app. We liked Vanessa's profile and decided to go with her. We are so glad that we did. She was very helpful as this was our first time leaving our baby. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. She was very understanding when our puppy had accidents. We could tell our little girl had a blast while she was there with her. On a scale of 1 to 10 Vanessa is an 11!

She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.

Oakie was a great sitter for my dog. It was last minute but she was able to accommodate us and we were so thankful that she could. She sent pictures daily also text and responded to my texts in a timely manner. She was the perfect match for my dog. I highly recommend her and definitely will use her again.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Such a wonderful pet sitter! Our pup is like one of our kids, we don’t just leave with them with anybody. Alex was so pleasant and immediately interacted with our pup. I knew right a way this was a great match. Alex sent me daily updates via text along with pics to see how well our dog was doing. I would highly recommend Alex and will definitely be using her pet sitter services again. Thank you Alex for taking such great care of Sadie.

My family and I went on vacation to Destin and needed a last-minute dog sitter because our Airbnb wouldn't accept our dog. I contacted Megan, and she agreed to look after her with a wonderful, willing attitude right from the start. She inspired me a lot of confidence and, above all, peace of mind; I knew I had left Manola in very good hands. On top of the fact that my dog ​​is an older dog with many specific needs—requiring medications and supplements—Megan said she wouldn't have any problem handling that, and she did an exceptional job. I’m sure that if Manola could speak, she would tell me she had a great time with Megan and Charlie (Megan’s son) at their home. I would definitely contact her again if I were to need her.

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!

Feel very fortunate to have found Alexis. She connected with our toy dogs, who can sometimes be a little anxious. She gave them the special attention they needed, and we felt comforted knowing they were in good hands while we were away. A true dog whisperer!

FAQs for Boarding - Shalimar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 456 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shalimar. About 91% of Shalimar sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
