“I'm so grateful for Nichole and her family taking care of my baby and accepting him on a short notice. He felt right at home. This is the first time I used Rover, and I couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving him with her. The messages of updates and photos or videos were also a wonderful touch, knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Pepper clearly had a wonderful time with Dakota's family. Lots of play time with other dogs, lots of cuddle time with her children, and lots of attention. Pepper was also the model for a great drawing from Dakota's daughter, and that drawing now is posted on my refrigerator! During the recent snowstorm, a rarity in this part of Arkansas, Pepper enjoyed the experience with Dakota's family her dogs.Will certainly bring her back for another visit when it's time!”
“My boys were well taken care of with Eric. I got regular updates and photos, they got to exercise in his big backyard and got to sleep on the couches :) I was truly able to enjoy my time away, knowing that they were in good hands with Eric and his roommates. Thanks again!”
“David and Krysta are the best! They kept us in the loop updates and lot of pictures. Our pups looked so happy and spoiled the whole time!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valparaiso
I was so lucky to find Eric! I have an Am. Staffordshire Terrior that does not play well with other dogs. She is territorial and anxious in unfamiliar places. Most dog sitters have their own animals or double book clients. I cringed when I took Spooky over to meet with him and she growled at him from the car. He remained relaxed and confident, let me show her around his yard and house. He chatted with me to find out her personality quirks and history. I felt very safe leaving my dog with him. He provided pictures of her walks every day. I was impressed at his efforts to win her over and how he also gave her space to warm up to him. I especially respected how he declined taking her at first as he had another skittish dog he was watching at the time. I changed the dates for my request and he was able to give her that same individual attention. She was happy to come home. But I know she will not mind going there again.
Cheryl was recommended by a friend who also had a semi high needs furbaby. She did an amazing job keeping my boy happy, administering his medication, and enforcing his elimination diet. He has epilepsy and this is the first time he has come home from a Rover sitter and NOT had a seizure afterward. I’m thankful I found her and you will be too!
Shep had the best stay with Liznel. He was so pampered by her and her family. Seriously, I don’t think Shep wanted to come back home😂 he got lots of playtime with her pup and lots of walks not to mention all the cuddles. We got lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend Liznel and wont hesitate to reach out to her again. Much thanks!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Valparaiso on Rover is $39.96 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 389 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Valparaiso. 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.
94% of Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso.
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 Valparaiso 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.
