“I am so happy to have found such a sweet and reliable dog sitter like Gail. Knowing my baby is in good hands and regularly receiving pictures and updates from her put my mind at ease. She has a beautiful yard for the pups to run around in which is amazing. Highly recommend her and definitely will be booking with her again! Thank you Gail :)”
“I wish I could give Tony more than 5 stars. This was my first time using Rover and I feel very lucky I found him. Tony was super responsive, communicative, flexible and the most important thing: he took great care of Maui and Pepito. I could tell they were SO happy and they had a blast. Can’t wait to repeat. Forever grateful to him”
“Erick was amazing. I’m so glad that I discovered him for so many reasons. Location is close to where we live, he resides in a home which gives my wife and I less stress about being secured while outside and not cooped up inside a small space. Erick sent daily updates about our little girl along with photos. He followed all of our daily routines for Paris which is important due to her health high demands. I was pleased that he allowed me to view his home before deciding to select his service. This gave me peace of mind and the ability to see that Erick kept a very clean house - unlike a previous experience I had that left our dog with an infection. I will definitely use Erick over and over when we leave town.”
“Cathe is wonderful with our pet! We didn’t worry at all knowing she’s in good hands. Cathe took great care of her and treated her like her own pet. We’re happy with her service. Definitely 5 stars for us!”
“Jonathan was a phenomenal sitter for my dog. He provided pictures throughout my trip which was a relief for somebody who has never used this app. Will definitely be rebooking/ sending more people his way!”
“This was my very first time on River and I was super anxious. Brittany was absolutely perfect from start to end. She really reassured me and was the best with my Oakley. I will definitely ask for her care again in the future. Thank you Brittany.”
“Very nice, very caring, she took a great care of my Tequila. Her dog Romeo is so sweet and full of energy they played all day and took naps. Felicia is very flexible with the schedule also, had no problem accommodating me very early in the morning. I really recommend her.”
“Aby and Jonathan were great with pepper, even though pepper was a bit temperamental. They were patient with her, and I think she had a good time staying with them. They kept me informed with pictures and texts, which i really appreciated. I look forward to using them to watch pepper again.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pup Romeo! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about making sure he was happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would definitely book with Lauren again and highly recommend her! 🐶💛”
“Absolutely loved his services. He is very kind and friendly. Kaida loved her stay with him. He took great care of her. Also kept me updated with photos and videos that greatly helped me to have peace of mind while away. Would definitely recommend. 10/10!”
“Sylwia took amazing care of my 14-year-old dog, Layla, and I could not be more grateful. From day one, she was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly very experienced with senior dogs. She sent daily updates with photos and detailed notes about Layla’s mood, habits, and what she liked each day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. On her own initiative, she even added a soft, comfortable material to the bottom of Layla’s crate to make her more comfortable, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Layla was treated with genuine care and kindness, not just watched over. All of this came at a very reasonable price. I would absolutely trust Sylvia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“I honestly cannot say enough great things about Amy! She is truly AMAZING!!! From the moment I met her, I knew she was a great fit! And my pups agree! Her warmth and kindness emanates from her. She made us feel so comfortable in her home and my pups instantly gravitated towards her. Amy provided me with updates as well as the most adorable photos. She even catered to my little girl that loves to rest her jowls on my face at night! The picture she sent completely melted my heart ❤️ Not a doubt in my mind that they are safe in her hands. We feel beyond blessed to have found someone to care for our little ones as if they’re her own!”
“Vanessa was amazing with my two weenie babies!!! Right from the start, I could tell she was super down to earth and my babies would love her. She was super nice and sent me lots of pics while I was away. When I picked them up, the boys were super happy and looked like they had a great time. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! ☺️”
“A wonderful experience for myself and our Oreo.. he has a new sitter for life as long as she’ll have him.. we love our sitter 💗.. The daily updates with pictures are everything..”
“Raul watched our Great Dane for 8 days this past week. He was attentive, communicative, and able to accommodate Dawson’s anxiety with a lot of head rubs and walks. I would recommend Raul if you are in need of a pet sitter.”

Gail was super easy to talk to, offered a meet and greet at her home before booking. Gail communicated every day and I could tell from the pictures that Schnitzel felt very comfortable and at home with her. Super cute pictures and even another dachshund that was staying there too--double dachshunds! Would absolutely leave Schnitzel here again.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Galyna took such great care of Snoopy while I was away and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Snoopy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her! 🐶💛
Jonathan is absolutely the best — I couldn't recommend him more highly! I left my Cavalier King Charles, Wyatt, in his care and felt completely at ease the entire time. Jonathan is attentive & genuinely loves animals. His home is a loving, comfortable environment with other pets, which made Wyatt feel right at home from the start. You can tell Jonathan truly cares about the dogs he watches — not just as a job, but because it's in his nature. Wyatt came back happy, well-loved, and clearly had a great time!
I appreciate how accommodating Anthony was, he worked with my schedule and took care of Milo for 3 days straight. Thank you so much Anthony for taking care of my puppy on such short notice. Im happy Milo was able to socialize with the other dogs as well. I would definitely book with you again if im in the area.
This is my second time booking with Liora and it was just as fantastic as the first. Liora is communicative, caring, and my pup is treated like family while staying with her. I’m truly grateful to have been connected with such a great sitter and will for sure continue to book her in the future!
Lauren was amazing! We trusted her immediately with our older pup given her experience. We could tell Thor felt right at home with her. Her updates were great and timely and she definitely cared for Thor as if he were hers. She noticed he had a bit of a dry nose and went out of her way to get him some balm to soothe it. We definitely will reach out to her to book again, Thor had a great time!
Pia is an incredible dog sitter! She recently watched my Doberman, Aria, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Pia was extremely attentive and went above and beyond to make sure Aria was active and engaged, including taking her on trips to the park. I really appreciated the consistent updates; she sent plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from Aria’s energy that she was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about animals and provides top-tier service, I highly recommend Pia!
Felicia was very kind, punctual and professional. Our Whiskey stayed with her for several days, and seemed quite happy in the videos she sent to us regularly. He also got along well with her poodle. He was even treated to walks on the beach! Would definitely trust her again with Whiskey.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Surfside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Surfside on Rover is $43.29 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 4,461 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Surfside. 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.
95% of Surfside 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 Surfside 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 Surfside 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 Surfside.
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 Surfside 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.
