“She did an amazing job with my dog. Heidi looked happy and had a great time! She also sent me pictures to keep me updated on my dog and it was perfect. I would definitely recommend to anyone to have Holly watch your dog.”
About: I love animals. All of them! I have always loved animals since I was a little girl. I love spending time with animals, loving on them, playing with them and teaching them new tricks! It would be a privilege to care and love on your furbaby while you are at work, out of town or just need a few hours to yourself! I prefer to stay local in the Niceville,FL area. I am willing to accomodate Destin but depends how far the client is. Let me care for your furry family member today! Now that I am a stay at home mother and wife, I have a lot more free time to devote in caring for your pet. My schedule is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I would be more than excited to love on your furry friend today! I have a fenced in yard with ample room for your pet to roam around in. I also am able to crate your pet if need be. You would just need to provide the crate and anything else you would want your pet to have to make sure his/her stay is a comfortable one.
“I will definitely use Stephen again! He made it easy and stress free! It’s hard to find somebody willing to go pick up and board a 105lbs Pitbull they never met! Stephen didn’t judge Ralphie based on his breed! He treated Ralphie like part of his family! I was sent pictures and updates on how Ralphie was doing! It gave me peace of mind knowing Ralphie was well taken care of! Which is something I greatly appreciate!”
“Andrea was great. I felt safe and confident because she could read dogs well, and had dealt with all sorts of things. I was especially impressed since she was dealing with the aftermath of Isaias and it was pretty bad over there. I would have understood if it was too much, but she was calm and welcomed Buddy in. Buddy had so much fun playing with her dogs, I’m not convinced he even wanted to come home!”
“Katherine and Christopher were great and I think Patch really enjoyed his time there. He came back happy! Katherine regularly sent updates and photos, and accommodated a late drop off and last minute early pickup. I definitely recommend and would use them again if we’re ever back in the area!”
“Reese made the process very easy to drop off and pick up our pup and gave us fun updates the whole time too. She is easy to get a hold of through the app and is very responsive, when we need a sitter again we hope she’ll have us!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs that I’ve raised from puppies. I started off dog sitting for my family and some friends, ranging from small to large and young to old. I have experience administering medications such as pills, supplements, and needles. I’ll treat your pup just like my own! I work full-time, so I am available to do drop-ins and walks on the weekends. I can board your pup at my home on any day of the week if they are good with other dogs and babies. My husband works from home most days, so boarded dogs will receive care throughout the day while I am at work. Dogs are never left alone more than 6 hours. For drop ins and walks- I’ll follow your care instructions and provide you updates/pictures. For boarded dogs- We have a large fenced yard for our dogs to run around and play together! Dogs are free to roam the house but can be crated if needed.
“I can say honestly hands down Emili was the best. I’ve never had to leave lax with anyone , so when this trip came up , I needed someone I could trust explicitly. I met Emili with Lax one afternoon and he definitely liked her as well as I did. She took notes about lax ( habits, eating schedules , vet and was very thorough with anll her questions . She went over hs medications and kept me abreast of all that he was doing . I so appreciated the pics and check ins as it made the trip much easier . I knowing he was so well taken care of . I would definitely use Emili again .”
“I am very happy we found Sydney to watch our two dogs for a week! She was wonderful to work with and made sure to keep us in the loop by giving us updates and including some pictures of the puppers! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Hollie is AMAZING and I highly recommend her! This is my second time using her as a sitter. My Breesy struggles with anxiety separation and with her consistent updates and pictures it gave me a peace of mind during my travels.”
“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!”
“Staci watched our fur baby Gunny for a whole week during Thanksgiving and I don’t think we could’ve had a better experience! She was so attentive and warm hearted. She took great care of Gunny and followed our routines from home to ease his anxiety. Plus Gunny got tons of lovins and attention from her 3 boys! We’re so thankful to have found her and will definitely send requests for future stays!”
“Jenna is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of how awesome she is! I was gone for a little over two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking the best care of my boy. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter! I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus!!!!”
“Ladeana took care of my baby. She gave him his medicine when due and he was well looked after. I knew he would be a handful, but she handled it! Would definitely use her services again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shalimar
Had a chance to meet Dakota and her husband before the actual dog sitting. They were both just really nice and kind people and met me totally on their time. Drop off and pick up was seamless. Dakota sent me pictures daily with feedback about the day. My dog Skyler came home happy and not bursting with energy which told me she received a lot of attention. From the sounds of it she had a great time playing with the kids. I will definitely use Dakota again.
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Shalimar is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $44 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.
There are 448 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shalimar. About 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
