“Lisa was simply amazing. She took such great care of our goldendoodles. I am so happy we found her and will definitely rebook with her. Our puppies were so well taken care of. I am so thankful to her.”
“Julie has been amazing & very patient with my little boy. She's taken care of my baby twice now. She follows instructions, provides tons of pictures/videos & communicates clearly & constantly. I can see how much she loves dogs! I highly recommend her services”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Kristopher and Melissa at Royalty Pets provided for our Shih Tzu, Brownie. Brownie can be a bit of a handful—he’s a famously picky eater and gets very anxious during thunderstorms—so we are always nervous about leaving him with someone new. Kristopher and Melissa handled his routine and needs with so much patience and genuine love. When we picked him up, Brownie was completely happy, relaxed, and smelled wonderfully clean! It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. We will definitely be booking with Royalty Pets again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Diane and Horacio are such a sweet and caring couple who truly made our Bella feel right at home. It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your fur baby behind when going on vacation, but Diane kept us updated throughout the day with pictures showing us that Bella was very well taken care of :) It’s wonderful to have someone we can completely rely on to care for our girl. We will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
“Valerie and her family were extremely accommodating to my dog. First time my dog has been away from us for a while. My dog Hollie enjoyed herself and was well taken care of. Valerie and her family are great because they updated us with pictures and made sure Hollie got plenty full play time. I would recommend them !!”
“Lee Ann and her husband Richie were so great to our golden retriever! We received regular pictures and communication and they made the experience of leaving our dog for a weekend less stressful. We would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Jeffrey proved to be an exceptional caretaker for Charlie. He regularly took Charlie for invigorating walks and allowed him to revel in the expansiveness of his backyard. Jeffrey consistently kept me updated on Charlie's activities and sent me lots of pictures. I will unquestionable seek his services again in the future. Thank you so much Jeffrey!”
“Teresa was the best sitter, I loved that she gave updates daily and contacted me multiple times daily and also sent pictures and my baby always looked happy and peaceful. It’s really hard to leave your small dogs with someone new but she eases my worries. My dog is difficult to care for and requires a lot of extra attention, at night and with potty breaks he tends to mark or go where he’s not supposed to. But Teresa was very patient with him. Thanks so much ! Will use her again soon”
“I'm so grateful for Estefany's care! She was wonderfully fast to respond, kept me in the loop the entire time, and sent sweet pictures that made my day while I was away. 😊”
“I LITERALLY hit the jackpot when I found Mirleys!!! She is a true gift to all dog parents. I am extremely EXTREMELY particular about who I trust, and far more particular about who I allow to take care of my dog Brody. She is absolutely everything one would want in the person caring for their loved one and I couldn’t be happier that l I found Mirleys when I did. She and her mother have a wonderful, sweet and safe home, they are incredible people and you really could not possibly ask for a better person to take care of your dog. My boy was happy as ever, received great attention, snuggles, and love his entire visit. Mirleys was also kind enough to provide a proactive daily updates with pictures multiple times each day, and was immediately responsive for the entirety of the trip. Absolutely 11 out of 10 across-the-board. The best there is.”
“Quin took care of our puppy who was just two weeks with us as a rescue and he boarded with her without any problems and she has been so great with him. He loves her, and strains his leash to get into her home. She takes detailed notes on what we need for him, and takes care of him appropriately. She takes her responsibility as a temporary mom for our pup very seriously! I am relieved to have found Quin and her place as an alternate home for him for any future need, whenever we need a day or or night off. Thanks Quin!”
“The best dog sitters we ever had. Reggie is senior dog with diabetes, taking insulin shots twice a day. We did not worry a bit while gone. He was being spoiled in every way. They kept in touch throughout our vacation to let us know everything was good at home. We Love Regina and Don !”
“I’ve been through a few sitters for my golden boy but Gaby has been by far the best and I’m not a review leaving type of person! She was so detailed in her updates, so loving and caring to my boy. So happy to have found someone i trust with my fur baby! Thank you Gaby! 🫶🏼”
“Was a bit last minute and they were still able to take care of my puppy, they had him tired with plenty of exercise and playing! They also sent lots of videos and pics daily to keep you in the loop.”
“Mai was so good with my dog Boba. When I picked him up he was so calm; I could tell he was comfortable with her. Mai sent me pictures and videos of him everyday so I could see how he was doing. She made sure he was eating and sleeping well. I was in a bit of an emergency, but Mai was so flexible and supportive. She's a life saver and I recommend others to trust their pets with her. Thank you again!”
“Our dog had so much fun for the 10 days she stayed there, Jennifer took amazing care of her, her dogs are super friendly and they made our Bella have a great time for the whole stay🙂We felt so comfortable from the beginning and during the whole time and we always received videos and pictures!”
“Annelly (and family) took great care of Kimber. Kimber, being a German Shepard has separation anxiety but, she was well taken care of and I was informed of everything going on and felt secure with my choice. They took her for walks and made sure to sit with her during the July 4th fire works to keep her calm. As a last-minute reservation, with very little time to sit and talk to Annelly, she handled Kimber like a pro, and I would highly recommend her.”

I was very anxious about leaving my puppy Dana with a sitter but Stephanie really exceeded my expectations. She was very attentive to Dana and updated me on her a lot. She also has a little girls who I’m sure played a lot with Dana during her stay. I only did 2 days a got really good communication from Stephanie with maaaaany photos and all my questions were answered immediately. Please feel safe in knowing that your pet will be taken care of and with lots of attention as well.
Paola and her daughter are everything that I could ask for in a sitter for my Sadie. Paola sends pictures and updates and took great care of Sadie. Sadie has anxiety and I can tell how Sadie is adjusting to a sitter based on her body language, her tail, etc. and Sadie was all smiles with Paola and her daughter. They are very sweet and kind. They live off of a golf course so there is plenty of room to walk. Paola asks detailed questions about Sadie's care so I know Sadie is in good hands. I will definitely request Paola to watch Sadie again in the future, I'm so glad that I found her!
Susana is awesome! She took us with short notice. She had excellent communication during our trip. When I picked up Duke, her and her son seemed sad to see him go, makes me feel good about how he was cared for. My dog looked comfortable in the photos Susana sent while we were gone. Her home is clean (my wife cares about that). 10/10 Highly recommend. We will absolutely be using Susana's services again =]
Maria and her mom were excellent at watching my 9 month old puppy, watching puppies can be a lot but they were very understanding and treated him with care. She sent regular updates and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times which I greatly appreciated. She followed my his care instructions and have absolutely no complaints!
Erika was great and took good care of our dog during the holidays. She sent us periodic videos and reports of our beloved S. Overall, we had a great experience with Erika and would recommend her to anyone looking for her services. Thank you and we will reach out again soon!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sunshine Acres is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 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.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Sunshine Acres 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 Sunshine Acres 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 Sunshine Acres.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunshine Acres. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sunshine Acres 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
