About: I was blessed to have my beloved dog for 18 wonderful years, and five years ago, Maya came into my life. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and Maya brings so much love, joy, and companionship to my life every day. 🐾💕 I genuinely enjoy making time for pet care in my daily and weekly routine. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique personalities, so caring for pets feels less like a job and more like something I truly look forward to. I’m happy to build my schedule around their needs, whether that means morning or evening walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply giving them some extra love and attention while their family is away. When caring for a pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and little quirks so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and reassuring. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and attentive to every detail, from keeping their routine consistent to making sure they receive plenty of playtime, affection, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I provide boarding seven days a week, as well as drop-in visits on weekdays after 5:00 PM and anytime on weekends. Whether you need overnight care, a quick check-in, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or companionship, I'm here to help. I've been caring for the pets of family and friends for many years, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy who needs extra patience and playtime or a senior companion who prefers a slower pace and gentle care, I'm happy to provide the attention they deserve. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their stay. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My home is calm and pet friendly. There are no children, only my friendly 4-year-old Toy Poodle, who enjoys having canine company. I believe pets are family, so dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated with all the love, affection, and attention they deserve. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel like part of the family while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I offer boarding seven days a week, so your pet will always have a safe and loving place to stay whenever you need care. I also provide drop-in visits on weekdays after 5:00 PM and throughout the day on weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. During boarding, your dog will stay in a clean, calm, and loving home where they can relax and feel comfortable. There are no children in my home—only my friendly 4-year-old Toy Poodle. I always introduce pets carefully and supervise interactions to help everyone feel safe. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and will receive plenty of affection, attention, playtime, and opportunities to rest. For drop-in visits, I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks (if requested), playtime, and any medications or special care instructions. I know that consistency helps pets feel secure while you're away. Communication is very important to me, so I'll send regular updates with photos and videos, letting you know how your pet is doing every step of the way. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you're back home.

About: I was a kennel supervisor for 8 years. I have sat neighbors animals and family friends animals. I am a Registered Nurse of 30 years! When your pet stays at my house they will be treated as if they were my own. I have an 8 year old black lab Fin who gets along well with all dogs. Your dog will not be in a crate. They are free to roam my house and lay on the couch and cuddle with Fin 🐶❤️. Daily walks are a must ! I have a fenced back yard where the dogs can freely go potty and play. I never take more than 2 dogs at a time so your pup will get the individualized care they deserve . I currently work part time and there are always people home! No matter what hour or day we are here to provide the most optimal care! I will feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them all the attention they need as if they were my own dog 🐕!

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs—including having a Husky and two Yorkshire Terriers of my own—I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages, including both young and senior pets, and I know how important it is to tailor care to each individual animal. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise and high-energy play or simply calm companionship and reassurance, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. As a sitter, I am reliable, punctual, attentive, and compassionate. I prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being and physical safety while maintaining a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. I also understand the importance of following routines, respecting instructions, and keeping owners informed while they are away. In an emergency, I remain calm, assess the situation carefully, contact the owner promptly, and prioritize veterinary care when necessary. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furry family member and giving them the care and companionship they deserve! I’m a full-time online student working toward my bachelor’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule compared to a traditional in-person student. I can easily plan my schoolwork around pet care and make sure I have dedicated time for each pet. As long as I have time to complete my homework either before or during a pet stay, I’m happy to spend extended periods with your pet. This flexibility makes me a great fit for overnight stays and house sitting, especially for owners who prefer having someone stay in their home with their pet. I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly while still being present, attentive, and available for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to provide companionship and care while also maintaining my school responsibilities, making overnight and longer stays especially convenient for me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow the routines and instructions their owner has provided. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet comfortable by maintaining their normal feeding, playtime, bathroom, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For overnight stays and house sitting, I’m happy to spend extended periods in the home so pets have companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. Since I’m a full-time online student, I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly from the client’s home while still being present and attentive to their pet. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and owner with a genuine passion for providing dogs with loving, attentive care. My current dog has health issues that require close monitoring, medication, and extra gentle care, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with specialized needs. I also have extensive experience with nervous and anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, a calm environment, and helping each dog feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care! My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of routines and provide attentive, personalized care. I’m happy to work with your dog’s usual schedule, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company and helping them feel comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, especially those who may be nervous or need a little extra care, and I’ll do my best to make their day feel as normal and stress-free as possible! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priorities. Whether I’m caring for your dog in the comfort of their own home or hosting them at mine, I’ll do my best to keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and secure. My home offers a fenced-in yard and a quiet neighborhood for a comfortable, relaxing environment. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, attention, and love I would my own.

About: My family recently lost our beloved dog Wanda and I would like to take care of your dog as our own since we love dogs and want to have a companion around for our funny 10-year-old frenchie Louie. We've been around dogs of all sizes and ages our whole lives and have even taken care of chickens, goats, cats, bearded dragons, hamsters, turtles, fish, etc etc. David works hybrid and is home a lot and Nadia is a high school senior who is home by 3:30pm or earlier. We generally can let out your dog at least 3x a day but we can discuss if your dog needs to be let out more often. We have a large fenced in yard but don't leave our dogs out when we're not home due to the weather, delivery people, etc. Our funny and sweet 10-year-old frenchie Louie is extremely friendly but not as energetic as he once was. He is not aggressive with other dogs and enjoys have a companion in the house. The more the merrier. We don’t let Louie on the couches or beds and will treat your dog the same as ours. They will stay in a big nice crate with Louie when we are not home. At night, they can stay in my daughter’s room on a dog bed.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, meals on schedule, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I take pet care seriously and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for while keeping you updated along the way. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a sitter! I work from home so i’m able to attend to your fur baby whenever needed. I have a pet of my own, we go on walks 3 times a day. He’s fed twice throughout. Occasional trips to the dog park are always fun too. I promise to make sure your pet gets all the love they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Along with my husky, I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will always prioritize their safety during walks, playtime, and downtime.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was very young. I love all breeds of dogs and have a way of connecting with any pooch. Dogs are our trusted friends and companions and I always treat them like a member of the family. I am comfortable walking, feeding, boarding, and playing with dogs. I am available for boarding on weekends (I currently have a full time job on Mondays through Fridays). I am a great fit for any pet owners who need to make plans for pet care if you are away for the weekend. I can keep your dogs comfortable in any manner of your choosing in my house. I have room in multiple bedrooms and in my living room and a big yard for them to walk around in. I can put them in a crate if that is what they are used to or let them stay in a bed if you prefer. I am a big proponent in plenty of exercise and play time for dogs.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Stuart

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Stuart is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 709 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Stuart. About 94% of Stuart sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
