“Danielle was kind and communicative throughout our dog’s stay. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned. We really appreciated her care and would definitely use Danielle again for a short trip!”

“I would definitely use Caroline again. I reached out to her on here and we set a date for me to bring my dog to meet her, her dogs and her daughter. Paris loved all the attention received. The energy and love for animals seemed genuine to me from her so I decided to allow her to pet sit. She also was open to any questions asked. Caroline kept open communication about Paris, as well as sent video updates. I appreciate her and would definitely recommend.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful care my two fur babies received. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell they were in loving, capable hands. She treated them as if they were her own—giving them constant attention, playing with them, and allowing them the freedom of her home. She also continuously sent us pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and let us see just how happy and comfortable they were. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals truly showed in every interaction. I am beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate pet care.”

Always available to greet and meet and give them and my dog the chance to know each other before our vacation started. Always making sure Chase was taking care of the way he is at his own home as much as possible. I'm so glad I found her and will use her any time I need to leave Chase or just for him to spend time there for a few hours. Thank You Katherine!”

“As most pet parents can relate, I was very apprehensive about leaving my furbaby, Bentley, with someone new while we were out of town. However, after a meet-and-greet with Nicole and her husband about a week before, I felt completely at ease. They were warm, welcoming, and very friendly. I got to see exactly where Bentley would be staying and meet their two sweet dogs—everything was clean, organized, and their fenced-in backyard was a big plus. Bentley usually gets along with other dogs, and he had no issues at all with theirs. Throughout his stay, Nicole sent me daily updates and plenty of photos (often more than once a day), which really reassured me and showed how content and well-cared-for he was. When I picked Bentley up, he was happy, relaxed, and didn’t experience any of the stress or stomach issues he’s had in the past after staying at boarding facilities. Nicole truly treated him like one of her own, and I couldn't be more grateful. I would absolutely use Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Nicole, for taking such wonderful care of Bentley!”

“Maggie had an excellent time with Garrett and she was very well taken care of. Swimming in the pool & playing with the family of pups made her a happy girl & made our vacation more relaxed knowing that she's at a safe & fun home. Lots of room to run, which is her second favorite activity! Garrett made a video of her poolside with her pal, Lilly. We will definitely use Garrett again & highly recommend him.”

We had such a wonderful experience with Mirian watching our mini poodle puppy Kian! She was so nice and very communicative the entire time — she sent pictures and kept us up to date, so we always knew how he was doing. Kian has a LOT of energy and can definitely be a handful at this young puppy stage, but she cared for him with so much patience and sweetness. When we went to pick him up, he seemed so relaxed and happy, like he truly felt at home with her, her family, and her other dogs. Highly recommend — we would absolutely book her again!

Troy and his family were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, Troy was very responsive and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos of Ace, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Ace was well cared for, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. When I arrived to pick him up, he didn’t even want to get in the car! 😂 That alone speaks volumes about the wonderful care and attention he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Troy and his family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again! ❤️🐾

Our dogs love going to Freddy and Talenas house! We first used them for an out of town wedding and things seemed to go really well. We received photos throughout and when we picked them up the family was so sad to see them leave. We then booked them for a much longer period for an international trip. We were curious how they would react when we brought them back and they sprinted to the door, played with their husky pup and were rolling on the floor for belly rubs. It’s clear our boys feel right at home with their family, so much so they don’t want to leave. We appreciate their family so much for taking such good care of the dogs and for loving on them just as we would if we were home. They have been incredibly flexible for our crazy schedules and we’re excited to have them as support for the pups going forward.

Appa always has a blast at Gabriela’s house while we’re away. From drop off to pick up, it’s truly like he’s at sleep away camp! I receive updates on how he’s doing in a timely manner and you can tell she really cares about the dogs in her care. Appa’s a big boy (~115 lbs. Rottweiler) and Gabriela does a great job with him. My husband and I both highly recommend her.

Karley was very good in making our Jazzy feel at home. Jazzy was accepted by her dogs. We think Jazzy will be more comfortable next time because it won't be a new place. Jazzy seemed to bond with Karley like she does with us. We are looking to the next time we will have her take care of Jazzy.

Kaity and Sebastian are truly wonderful! We have used them twice now and we have been thrilled with the care that they have provided for our two dogs. It is clear that they have truly bonded with them and it is so nice to have peace of mind, knowing that they are in capable and caring hands. Thank you so much, as always and we look forward to our girls staying with you again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sun City Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sun City Center is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sun City Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Sun City Center can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sun City Center home-away-from-home, 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 Sun City Center.

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 Sun City Center 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 , 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 .

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.
