“Marina and her family were absolutely incredible. Buddha was treated like the family dog and made me feel at such peace knowing where she was. Our flight home was delayed due to a snow storm and Marina was quick to help and treated us with patience/understanding. Will be using again!”
“My plans for someone to watch my dogs feel through last minute and Annie saved my trip. Luna Roxie were well cared for and came home tired and happy. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely try to use her. Thanks for loving them and keeping them safe Anne. You're awesome!”
“Cranesha was very pleasant to work with while Bella was in her care. She kept in contact with me when I asked how Bella was doing, and sent pictures. Would highly recommend her. Thank you Cranesha!”
“Kopie loved staying with Patience. She took great care of him, treated him as her own, and followed his routine! Words can’t express how grateful I am! We recommend her 100%!”
“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!”
“We were anxious about leaving our Cavapoo puppy for the first time. Valerie alleviated our anxiety by welcoming our puppy and integrating her into her home environment. She sent us videos, photos and texts to reassure us Sadie was doing well throughout her stay. We highly recommend Valerie and will request her again when we return to PCB!”
“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!!”

“Aurora is amazing! My dogs love staying with her so much I'm not even sure if they want to come back home. She also send the highest quality and best pictures when she has them. She very educated with animals and I trust her with mine!”
“Shannon on was super responsive and communicated regularly thoughout the visit despite it being a major holiday. My dog loved her immediately and seemed well loved and cared for. I would highly recommend Shannon.”
“Headed down to Florida last minute and Jennifer was not only super fast at responded but fantastic with Maggie. Must have worn her out playing with Max because she slept the entire way home! Definitely my new go-to if I need a sitter down there again”
About: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.
“Had a great experience! They even spoiled Zoe by letting her sleep with them…she doesn’t even get that treatment at HOME! She was very willing to let us see her home and did an introduction visit before Zoe’s first stay. I would definitely book with her again. She’s got a great set up for dogs at her home!”
“Destiny was absolutely amazing with our doggy! She went above and beyond to make sure our timid fur baby felt right at home while we were away! Great daily updates with pics. Highly recommend!!”
“Britney was a wonderful dog sitter for our pug! I know he was well cared for all week, and she had excellent communication throughout the process. Highly recommend!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Southport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southport on Rover is $32.19 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 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 July 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.
83% 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.
