“We have been using Gail for many, many months and over 50 nights of boarding for our two dogs. She's a trusted family friend for us. She takes such great care of our dogs -- and we get regular pictures and updates from her while we are away on our trip. And, if we check in with her, she always responds instantly. We're very particular about who watches our dogs and we couldn't be more comfortable than working with Gail.”
“Awesome! Leanet is wonderful! This was my first time leaving my puppy and and I couldn’t be happier! Constantly giving me updates and sending me pics! My Grace was very happy with her! Will definitely be a return client! Thank you so much Leanet !”
“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”
“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!”
“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! 🐶💛”
“Emily was very accommodating and accepted my last-minute booking request right away. She sent frequent photo updates throughout the stay, which made me feel at ease and which I really appreciated. Thanks so much!”
“Adriana was phenomenal! This was my first time using this app and she made it all feel so easy and effortless. It’s always difficult to leave my fur baby when I’m away, but her great communication and constant follow up reassured me that Maui was in great hands! I highly recommend her! Thanks Adriana!”
“Idania watched my dog Delilah for 10 days. She sent me photos and videos of Delilah every day and made sure to ease my worries and anxiety about leaving her with a sitter. I appreciate her keeping me up to date and Delilah loved playing with her puppy Jacob. I would recommend her to any friends and stay with Idania again. Thank you Ida!❤️”
“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.”
“Yaffa had a nice meet and greet. I received pictures and communication every day of her stay. It seems like she had a nice time with their family and their dog. Her tail was wagging. I will definitely know by her tail the next time we use her when she sees her and when Yaffa comes out of the car.”
“Great sitter, highly recommend! Left him with 2 golden doodles and he handled them great. Gave one of them a capsule every multiple times with no issue. Plenty of daily updates as well. Treated my dogs like his own.”
“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! 🐶💛”
“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!”
“Mikayla was so excellent! First time having a sitter for my sweet babies and they really took a liking to her! My Guwop is a love bug and my Penny is a rescue who is still a bit afraid of humans. For my Penny to actually want to be touched by Mikayla really said it all! Penny is not the type to warm up so quickly but she did and I’m positive it was all because of the love and comfort she felt from Mikayla ❤️❤️ Her communication was on point she didn’t make me feel bad for annoying her either 😂 ! I was super worried more because of my sweet Penny but she assured me they were in good hands and didn’t disappoint.”
“Paola was very attentive. She kept me informed of how my puppy was doing. She send pictures daily and answered all my message in a timely manner. I highly recommend her. If you are a worry mom if you book her know your baby will be in great hands.”

Gail was beyond amazing!! She took the absolute best care of Corcho, and we could tell he was so happy and having the best time with her. She is such a loving and caring person! We received tons of updates and photos, and communication was amazing the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing Corcho was in such great hands. We couldn’t recommend Gail enough and will definitely book with her again!!
I’m so grateful I found Idania! She has such a warm and genuine spirit. I had just moved to Miami and was honestly a little nervous about leaving Kylo with someone new, but literally the second she came outside, he ran right up to her like they had known each other for years. That immediately made me feel so much better. What makes me even more grateful is that this was SO last minute. My original sitter canceled on me at midnight the night before I was supposed to leave. I was panicking and sent out probably five requests on Rover. Idania responded, “I’d be happy to watch beautiful Kylo,” instead of just saying she was available, and something about that response immediately stood out to me. You could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She sent me pictures and updates while I was away, and Kylo looked so happy and comfortable. I could just tell he was in great hands. When I picked him up 10 days later, he was clean, smelling good, happy, and clearly had been so well taken care of. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially after being put in such a stressful situation at the last minute. I’m so grateful for Idania and would absolutely trust her with Kylo again. ❤️
During the weekend Sheldon spent with Cathie, he was very happy and comfortable. She treated him with love and kindness. She also sent us updates and photos daily, which made us feel reassured. I would recommend her to anyone needing this type of service for their pets.
Our Cocoa had a fab time staying with Leo. He provided updates and photos everyday. We rescued Cocoa from the streets a few weeks before and required boarding before taking her back to the UK - Leo boarded her and he made sure that there was no halt in progress with her in terms of training and diet. She looked amazing when we picked her up and we could tell that she was well looked after with Leo.
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! 🐶💛
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Surfside on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,386 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.
