“Ashton took wonderful care of my Goldendoodle puppy! She even took time to bathe her before I picked her up since she had gotten dirty from playing outside. I received lots of updates throughout her stay which put me at ease. I highly recommend!”
“We contacted super last minute, got a response and was able to drop off my babies within an hour or two. This was a first time leaving our babies with someone and I’m so grateful to have found Marina! She is very friendly, confident and knowledgeable about animals and I felt very at ease leaving my babies with her. She sent me updates and pictures without even having to ask too which made me happy! Thank you SO MUCH again!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Absolutely awesome family!! Boots had an excellent weekend being loved & cared for while I got away for a Daughter, Moms & grands trip up Savannah, GA way. Angela sent pics & updates every day! I had no worries about my pup while we were away. Rover, this is a fantabulous service to offer!! :) Thanks thanks thanks!!”
“We couldn’t have been more happy with the care that Valarie gave our old boy! She is so kind and caring, and made everything easy and updated us throughout our vacation, would recommend 100%!”
“Our pups love Aurora more than us I feel like haha! That’s how well she takes care of them and loves on them. We know they are in the best hands with her and they look forward to visiting. :)”
“We love Destiny!! We had Caesar and shadow in her care for a month. We never had to worry about them. She sent us many pictures and videos. She even monitored their monthly medication. We will definitely book with her again!! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Max was there just for an overnight trial with Shannon. Max had a great time and didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up. His first class is very positive.”
“Tracey was our knight in shining armor for this trip. Our regular sitter at home backed out last minute and we had to bring our dog with us on vacation to a facility that didn’t allow pets. I was a wreck trying to figure out how to navigate the situation when I found Tracey who was only 5 mins away. She graciously took our Sophia in, who had never been away from us before, despite her being very nervous. I was also not 100% sure about the potty training situation since she had not stayed anywhere away from home before, but Tracey reassured me that it would be fine and took her in so we could enjoy our trip; mostly stress free. I was also a little apprehensive as well as my little girl and she sent us pictures and updates so we could have peace of mind during her stay. Sophia seemed to warm up to her quickly which was also reassuring. So grateful we had this option.”
“Kinsey was so wonderful! She was immediately in contact, flexible with drop off/pick up, and kept us updated on our boy. She has such a great set up/yard for dogs too! We were so so happy with leaving our golden in her care.”
“From the meet and greet to the end of her stay Athena enjoyed herself. Brittany provided a safe clean and loving environment and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She sent plenty of pictures during Athena’s stay and she communicated every step of the way. I will definitely be booking with her again”

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.
