Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.

Haylie took amazing care of our Millie girl. She sent updates each day and made Millie comfortable as it was her first time away from home. She came home happy and lively and I can tell she had a great time. I can’t thank you enough !

Anas and Tate are the best! They took great care of Kaine and Lyuba like their own. We appreciate the cute pictures and videos to keep us posted. There's nothing like confidence and assurance that your dogs are safe, comfortable and loved when you're away from them and that's what Anas and Tate gave us. So thank you so very much. We truly appreciate you.

I felt comfortable when I first pulled up. Diane was such a great person. The dogs went to her immediately, so I knew I chose wisely. She sent photos to let me know my fur babies were well. She wads even gracious when I had to change plans at the last minute. I would recommend her for all your pet services.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jodi and the care she gave my dog, Evy. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages about all the fun activities they enjoyed. Jodi truly created a safe, loving environment for dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing Evy was in such great hands.

This is the second time I have left my doggies with Sylvia and I have full and complete Trust that they are in good hands! She sends pictures and comments on the daily along with activities that they may have done. For example, this time the dogs were watching her cook, and I hope for them to come home with some new recipes! Will definitely use Sylvia again.

Katrina is very friendly. She let us come into her home while Millie sniffed around and relaxed some before we left. Millie was anxious and Katrina sat down with her, pet her, and gave her some cheese to help her calm down. Katrina sent pictures of Millie and gave updates every day.

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

Let me say that J.J. is amazing! My dog Navi, stayed with her while my family went on Christmas vacation. It was our fist time away from him in a year. JJ sent me pictures and videos of Navi, even on Christmas Day. Navi was well taken care of and loved while he was in her home. I highly recommend JJ!

Alexander was great to work with! He was easy to communicate with from start to finish and kept everything simple and stress-free. We had a change in plans and needed to pick Pepper up earlier than originally scheduled, and Alexander was very accommodating and flexible with the adjustment. It's clear he cares about the pets he watches, and we felt comfortable leaving Pepper in his care. We would definitely use Alexander again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive dog sitter.

Joseph and his dad took great care of Mia. I was worried about her being around his dog, Luna, because she is a big dog. Normally, Mia doesn't get along well with big dogs. She loved Luna, and they did well together. I had an emergency the night I was supposed to pick up Mia. Joseph was gracious enough to let Mia stay until I could pick her up the next day. Joseph is very kind, understanding, and compassionate. You can tell that Joseph and his dad really love dogs.

Sanja is amazing! Kleo was so excited to see her & had a blast playing with all her new friends. Sanya kept us updated with photos & videos & we were able to relax knowing she was taking such awesome care of our baby girl. We highly recommend Sanja and Kleo’s already anticipating another visit soon.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Starke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Starke on Rover is $44.4 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 510 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Starke. 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.

94% of Starke 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 Starke 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 Starke 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 Starke.

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 Starke 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.
