“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 !”
“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nina is everything you could ask for to watch your pets. She took care of our older dog and cat for about 3 weeks. This included providing medicine and ensuring our dog didn’t play too hard due to her condition. Also, our cat celebrated 15 years while we were away and Nina made his day special. We received consistent photos, videos, and communication throughout our trip. We even received some great surprise gifts when we came to pick them up! Highly recommend Nina and we would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Anas & Tate took great care of my dog. Izzy is a bigger fairly high energy Airedale. Anas & Tate had no problems handling his needs. Their setup is beautiful. I quite big fenced yard allowed for plenty of exercise while being totally secure. They kept me updated with cute pictures and videos during Izzy’s stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to rely on them again as the need arises.”
“Zarria did she great job. Good communication throughout their stay and lots of pictures! My boys loved the morning walls and were well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Adam has friendly dogs that played with our Hayden.. We were updated with videos and pics several times a day. I think Hayden enjoyed himself as much as we did on our vacay”
“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.”
“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.”
“Elijah excellent this was the second time he watched Max was so understanding when I had to extend my days. Kept me updated with Max. I will have him sit with Max again.”
“If you love your dogs and want to go out of town and feel absolutely worry-free about whether or not they’re being loved and looked after, these guys are the best. My dogs don’t let me pee on my own or leave a room w out them hot on my trail and they ran right to them like I wasn’t even there. They smelled and looked amazing when we picked them up and were happy as could be. They were made Christmas stockings and goody bags and even a homemade Christmas feast to enjoy. Above and beyond doesn’t begin to cover the effort and care put into our pets while we are away and I will never run out of amazing things to say about these two. I can’t be anymore grateful for finding them and my labs love them so much, I truly had tears in my eyes writing this. Thank you so much for loving our goofballs and providing such peace of mind for us on vacation. I am so blessed to have found them!”
“Autumn was awesome. Our Sealia had an awesome time and was spoiled. I highly recommend Autumn’s services. Great price and flexibility makes her an awesome choice.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about JJ and her family! My dogs were beyond excited to see her at drop-off, which says everything. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands.”
“I want to take this moment to express my immense gratitude to Nuttawadee for the care and attention she showed our little Yobi. We're amazed because she went the extra mile with him...a walk on the beach (which Yobi enjoyed) - Thank you for the bath, it left him feeling like a soft plush. I know our pet enjoyed his stay with Nuttawadee and family this weekend. I'm sure it will be his next stop when we have to travel. Thank you for your care, flexibility (by agreeing to an extra night with Yobi), and commitment. Five stars for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“If I could give Sanja ten stars, I would! I’m a very helicopter puppy mom, and I got severe anxiety anytime I thought about leaving my new puppy in a place that would kennel him for hours at a time while we were out of town. Plus, he came from a hoarding situation and has some anxiety and other issues. I saw Sanja recommended by a mutual friend on someone’s FB post so we did a meet and greet, and I knew just from talking with her that she could not be a better dog sitter. I have loved getting text, photo and video updates. In fact, I think my puppy is happier at her house than ours because he gets daily play time, lol. She clearly has a loving heart and home for dogs and I am SO thankful for finding her! In fact, I may continue wit occasional daycare just so my pup can get play time at her house!”
“Luna had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave! I also appreciate Alex for creating a safe, comfortable environment for Luna to hang out with other dogs without being overwhelmed 🐾”
“Sarah did a fantastic time taking care of our pet. While we were gone over the holidays. She had to deal with New Year's Eve and our pet being afraid of fireworks. There were no occurrences of panic and she came home completely at ease. Our pet did not show any behavior issues of anger that we went off and left her, so that is the highest compliment I can give. Thank you so much, Sarah and family!”
“Dana was very loving and kind to our Cocker Spaniel. Her fenced in backyard was a perfect size for exploring, yet staying close to the house. I definitely will be coming back?”
“Amazing and will use again 100%! I had a last-minute need for dog sitting. As in, one hour away, and Sylvia still responded with a yes, and drop them on by! She was a lifesaver in a pinch, and I will definitely use her again as she clearly loves and takes care of our dog Family members”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Starke on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 512 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.
96% 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.
