“Jacquelyn was great with Díor & she loved her! Díor loved being around her family/dog and I love how happy she was since this was my first time using Rover. Highly recommend & will be using again.”

“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Maidolys was amazing! I booked her just a few hours before I needed a sitter, and she was so sweet and accommodating on such short notice. She sent pictures and updates throughout Quincy’s stay, and he came home happy, playful, and completely worn out from all the fun! I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶🐾”
“ms. karél was nothing less of amazing! she made sure my miso was walked every day, fed twice a day, and out of the florida heat! she even washed him without me asking 🥹 i will definitely be booking with her to board in the very near future as well as doggie daycare playdates !”
“Jartiza & her husband her amazing. They kept in touch and my boy, Gravey, had an amazing time. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home LOL. I will most definitely be using her again!! Thank you again for taking such good care of my sweet boy.”
“Neida took such good care of my two sheltie’s. She had a great home set up and a beautiful backyard. Perfect for the pups to hang out. Great communication. Friendly and sent pictures and updates to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely be coming back.”
“They took such good care of our older dog, who has to take daily medication and has issues with other dogs. We got updates, pictures, and text messages, which was very reassuring and put us at ease. I would definitely recommend and use Violeger services again!”
“Dzeni and Kathy are PHENOMENAL!!! We received daily updates and photos of our little girls. It was so comforting to know they were loved while we were away. Providing a highly rated review is a double-edged sword. When others learn how great they are, we run the risk of them being completely booked. Oh well…that doesn’t change my sentiments above. If you are looking for someone who will love your baby as much as you do and want piece of mind while you’re away, we HIGHLY recommend Dzeni and Kathy!!!”
“Megan and her family are very kind and accommodating people. My Finn loved his stay and didn’t want to leave… there is a wonderful yard for guests to play… and he was taken on leashed walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and I highly recommend her.”
“I really recommend Glory and her family to take care of your dog. She sent me pictures and videos while I was in vacation. She is an awesome person. For sure I will contact her for my next trip. Thank you Glory for your service and taking care of him.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sydney
We left our furry baby with Amy and Miller for several weeks while we were overseas and we were heartened knowing that she was in loving hands. Our little girl was pulled into the family and received all the care, attention, and love she needed; Amy and Miller provided her a second home where she was happy and healthy. Highly recommended; there are none better!
I'm almost hesitant to tell you how great Donna and Jeff are because we need to be sure they're not so busy and available when we need them lol. All kidding aside Donna and Jeff are like family they're great dog sitters and even better people. We are blessed to have them. Rob and Marlen Z.
We had an amazing experience with Daniela while we were on a year-end vacation for a week. She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated with regular messages, along with amazing pictures that honestly looked like they were taken by a professional photographer - we loved every single one she shared. Daniela offered my pup’s fav meal toppers like carrots and other veggies, which we really appreciated. My pup was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for when we returned, which meant so much to us. He also mingled well and did great in the company of Daniela’s dog, which was wonderful to see. It’s clear that Daniela truly loves animals and puts a lot of care and attention into what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during our last minute search and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sydney is $17 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $19 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 November 2026, there are 3,168 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sydney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Sydney 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 Sydney 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 Sydney.
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 Sydney. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Sydney 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.
