“Wow Zachary and his mom were absolutely amazing! I was worried because my dog is anxious but when I got him he was so happy and well taken care of. They sent me pictures, and were so supportive with his care. They went above and beyond 100% recommend one of the best sitters for my pet baby! They truly love pets and are professional care takers. Extremely grateful”
“We needed a last minute sitter for our anxious pup and Marti was fantastic! We are always so nervous to leave our dog but after our meet and greet, we knew she’d be in good hands. Throughout the stay, Marti was great at communicating and sending pictures! I would absolutely choose Marti to watch our dog again!”
“Stella is the absolute best pet sitter ever. She was with my elderly dog for over a month and was an absolute sweetheart with him. She kept us updated sending cute photos frequently. He loves her and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I had such a great experience with Alexandra! She was so sweet and took wonderful care of my pup. He clearly had the best time with her, and she even let him bring home his new favorite toy from his stay, which was such a thoughtful gesture! You can tell Alexandra genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. I really appreciated how kind and caring she was, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“We were a bit uncertain leaving our fur baby Nisha (10 lbs toy poodle) with someone for over a week and for the first time ever, but Nisha instantly bonded with Kaye from our initial meeting and throughout her stay. Kaye is an amazing dog person and provided Nisha with the love and attention she craves. The photos she sent every day were certainly evidence of that! Nisha doesn't do well with other dogs, but Kaye only keeps one dog at a time, so no issues there. Kaye also has a lovely fenced in back yard for Nisha to explore. So overall we were VERY happy having Kaye take care of our fur baby while we were on our cruise. Highly recommended!”
“Alanis was absolutely wonderful with Coco! She sent great updates, answered all of our questions quickly and was just incredibly kind to him. It was a real pleasure meeting her, and we’re so grateful to her for taking such good care of our boy. We'd recommend her to anyone! She will take good care of your pet!”
“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of Teddy! She kept us updated, treated him like her own, and made sure he was happy and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a happy pup and had complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Carly and her family were absolutely amazing while watching my very vocal senior dog, Gracie, for 21 days. From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in wonderful hands. They sent daily photos and updates, just the right amount of communication so I always felt informed without ever feeling overwhelmed. They handled her medication and any special needs with such care and attention. It was such a relief knowing Gracie was so well looked after and loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Carly and her family enough, truly exceptional care!”
“Benny has stayed with Michelle a few times now and we are always happy with the experience. She takes great care of him, communicates well, and provides updates often. My husband and I would recommend Michelle to anyone and will continue to use her when we need a sitter.”
“Thanks Nathalia! It was a great experience. The many pictures and updates were appreciated. We could tell Huey was well taken care of. We could tell that Huey misses you and misses playing with his new friends.”
“Jonathon and Aimee were simply amazing! They were so accommodating, kind, and enthusiastic! Our dog was spoiled and treated like royalty. We can't wait to use them again!”
“Ginni and Thomas did an excellent job with Django. They sent me updates while I was on a cruise and were very responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter that treats their pup like he's at home.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Justyna was amazing! She took excellent care of Popeye and sent us daily photos and videos to keep us updated. Communication was great throughout the entire stay, and we felt completely at ease knowing Popeye was in good hands. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Upon meeting Elizabeth with Duke she was welcoming and Duke ran to her. Duke loved having free roam over the home and spending quality time. When requested I did receive pictures and videos. Duke is a cotton toy destroyer but Elizabeth had no issue with that. Will be using her services again.”
“Cristal was quick at responding and willing to watch our crazy dogs. She made sure to ease my anxiety by sending pictures and videos throughout their stay. I could tell our dogs loved having the huge yard to run around by the video she shared with us. We will definitely be booking with her in the future! 😊”
“I have used Mervat several times and Piper is happy to see her every time. She takes greAt care of my girl and is very thorough with instructions. If I forget something in her bag she asks about it. I love that she only takes care of one family at a time. Highly recommend Mervat!”

Thanks for take care my babies. I was a little bit nervous because is the first time I use an app for take care my three best friends. Zachary I don’t have any words than Thanks and if you accept every time that I have to travel I definitely will be the first one my mind 🐕🐩🐕🦺
I can't say enough good things about Renna and how well she took care of our boy, Beau. She was such a great communicator, she gave us frequent updates on how he was doing and what activities they did for the day. She even went the extra mile and celebrated his birthday with him since we were not able to be with him to celebrate. She made our vacation so easy and stress free knowing that Beau was in good hands. I definitely will book with her again!
Viviana and her family were so kind and welcoming! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dogs with them. I was able to enjoy my stay in Orlando knowing that my pups were in good hands and well cared for. Thank you so much, Viviana! I highly recommend you 100%! ❤️
Our eleven year old terrier/shih-tzu mix had not been boarded since she was a year old, having stayed with family or friends during our past trips. Marti was a life saver and played a huge part in our ability to relax on our vacation. Ms. Marti is on the ball with communication. When we checked in on Izzie to see how they were doing, she responded immediately and often provided pictures. After two days, Izzie was giving nose kisses to Marti and by day 3 slept next to Marti on the sofa. Marti is so warm and personable, and she communicated ahead of time the plans she had in advance, letting us know when she'd be out and where Izzie would be- which of course was absolutely fine. The majority of the time she was at home. She kept us abreast of when they walked and how Izzie was doing overall, as well as her food intake and "peas and carrots." She understands dogs and has lots of experience, providing a warm and safe home away from home for your fur baby. We will book again if we are ever in the central Florida area for vacation. Thank you, Marti!!!
I had such a great experience with Natalia! She went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable while I was away. Every day, she sent me updates along with pictures and videos, which really reassured me that Coco was happy and well cared for. She always kept me informed about how Coco was doing, and it was clear that she genuinely cared. One of the things I loved most was her fenced backyard—it gave Coco plenty of space to run around, play, and enjoy being outside safely. I truly appreciate the attention, communication, and care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
Chelsea is absolutely wonderful with my Leo — all the time. From the very beginning, she has been patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. Leo is always excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the trust and bond she has built with him. She communicates clearly, follows instructions carefully, and always ensures he is safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a repeat customer and will continue using Chelsea’s services with complete confidence. I truly have peace of mind knowing my dog is in her care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Southchase is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $61 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.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Southchase 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 Southchase 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 Southchase.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southchase. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Southchase 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
