“Paola gave Romeo so much attention and created a safe environment with her pup and mine. They looked like they had a wonderful time together! I’m thankful for the communication too!”
“Extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Such a great find while on vacay and in a jam. Very professional and took awesome care of our sweet boy Remi. Responded quickly and made us feel so comfortable leaving him in another town away from home. Cant give enough PRAISE! ????”
“Alissa was great!! The photos daily really helped ease the separation anxiety of being away from the pups and she was very accommodating. I would definitely use her again for our next trip!!”
“Anna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how Kona was doing each day. Kona was happy and loved being able to play with the kids on her vacation. I would definitely recommend Anna!!”
“I will definitely be boarding with Marina again in the future! She has amazing accommodations for the fur babies she’s house sitting, and I got so many pictures of my dog having an absolute blast. They have a gorgeous fenced in play pen specifically to use as a dog yard, and everything is so nicely kept.”
“Aurora was amazing! I felt very comfortable, leaving my pup with her for a weekend, stay! Very dog friendly home and she keeps them entertained and active! Really enjoyed that she provides multiple daily updates and pictures. Would recommend to anyone needing boarding or sitting services!”
“We boarded with Aaron and he did a fantastic job with our dog. He was very communicative and sent many pictures. Aaron really stepped up when my flight got cancelled and he watched our dog an extra night. Cannot thank him enough. 10/10.”
“My first experience using Rover, and the sitters were absolutely fantastic! Wendy & Rob were so kind to my doggies. They truly treated them like their own. Can not speak highly enough of my experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She communicates in a timely manner, and our little dog, Daisy, seems very comfortable with her. We had an issue getting back into town on time, but Cathryn was understanding and was able to work with us for an extra day (we're so appreciative!!). She's pretty great. I'll happily ask her to watch Daisy for us in the future.”
About: I have grown up on a farm and have been taking care of animals all my life. I have a passion for helping and love all dogs and cats. I have a medical background and don’t shy away from administering medicine, shots and pills. I have delivered many litters and am comfortable around older or sick dogs. I stay home right now and all of our kids are out of the house. So now I only have our furry babies at home. I provide safe and clean environment for my pets. Keep them all up to date on their health care. Give them lots of love and attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southport on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 157 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southport. 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.
84% of Southport 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 Southport 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 Southport 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 Southport.
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 Southport 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.
