“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“We can't thank Erik enough.. cause we were a pain in the neck. Switching days and extending our vacation and he was so understanding and polite.. he contacted us every morning with updates and new pics of our dog and our dog looked happy and healthy in every Pic.. we could tell when we picked our dog up he was very well taken care of loved the whole time he was with Erik.. we couldn't be happier and will use Erik everytime we vacation in the destin area.. so if you need a sitter in his area do yourself and your pet a big favor and contact Erik.. thank you again Erik”
“David, Krysta, & family took incredible care of our dog at their house. They were kind, responsive, and welcomed him as one of their own. He was spoiled and I can tell he had a great weekend by how tired he was when I picked him up. They have a great backyard that he was able to get all of his energy out in. I will 100% use them again and again. Thank you!”
“I was new to the area and looking to find a sitter for my dog on short notice. I connected with Nicole and she took great care of my dog during my travels. Communications were easy and she worked with me on a few scheduling challenges. My dog was very happy in her care and Nicole sent a fun video during the stay. Highly recommend.”
“We feel that Mia received the best of care from Rosemary & Matthew. I'm sure she was in good hands.....even tho she hid in the closet for most of her stay! We would use them again.”
“Ana’s home is such an incredible place for my pups when they’re away from home. The affection she has for animals and the love they receive is evident in every photo I receive from her during my four legged family members stay, as well as their demeanor when I pick them up. Highly recommend Ana for your pet care needs. She’ll love them like her own and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, their individual needs and their habits. Can’t express enough how much I appreciate her and her family.”
“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for keeping Dakota you were great and made sure I was updated on how Dakota was doing during his stay I can tell he had a great time will book again with you in the future”
“Ginny took great care of our pup during the new years holiday week! We felt so calm knowing our pup was in good hands while we vacationed in the area from DC. Would definitely recommend!”
“Would definitely recommend! I know my girl had a great time here (apparently she loved the pool). Kayla/Richard provided photos throughout her stay and updated us on what she had been up to. Will definitely be using in the future!”
“Chelsee did a fantastic job with our two dogs. She communicated with us every day and asked questions about anything she thought might be concerning. We really appreciated that and I’m sure our furbies did too!”
“Daisy had so much fun with Miss Sheila. I received pictures of Daisy every day. Such a comfort to know she was being well taken care of. We will definitely use Sheila again. ??”
“Anna and her husband were so kind and I am very grateful for taking my pooch in on a last minute visit. Thank you for the daily updates/pictures. It was nice knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Alex took wonderful care of Donny! We are so thankful! We were traveling for a family vacation but needed a few night for Donny to stay somewhere - I was nervous but she sent wonderful updates and took wonderful care of him!”
“Excellent care and professionalism, she watched Turbo for me while I was out of town for a week and I couldn’t have been more comfortable or satisfied from start to finish. She even went above and beyond and helped to teach him some leash skills which made him more manageable to take on walks. If all of that isn’t enough, he also made a new friend and will be trying to make a dog park date to meet up and visit with his new play pal, Jazzy, which he had a blast racing around the yard and playing with. (He would play all day if it were up to him) She will absolutely be the first place I go to seek dog sitting for my ride or die, thank you and I hope you continue to offer your much appreciated services. 💯🏆”
“Monica was amazing and a total life-saver! We needed last minute boarding for our labradoodle puppy while on vacation and she responded immediately and was the absolute best! She loved on our puppy and sent updates and pictures and we knew he was having the best time! Would give more than 5 stars if we could! Thanks so much, Monica!!”

This was our first time booking with Sariah and our first time ever leaving our dog with someone, so we were naturally a little nervous. Sariah went above and beyond to make both my husband and me feel comfortable and at ease. She took such amazing care of Juliet, kept us updated, and sent us pictures throughout her stay. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Sariah is absolutely the person to go to! She was literally AMAZING, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re so grateful we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to their fur baby!
Nadia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Cleo, I really appreciated the updates and photos as she settled in. Plus it was perfect for Cleo to make a couple new puppy friends :) would feel very comfortable recommending Nadia as a pet sitter and to have her watch Cleo again!
We had a wonderful experience having Maya stay with Rosie and her family in their home. From the start, we felt very comfortable leaving Maya in their care. She received daily walks, lots of attention, and clearly felt right at home. Rosie and her family did an excellent job communicating with us and sent us photos every day, which we really appreciated and enjoyed seeing while we were away. Knowing Maya was happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us great peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely use Rosie and her family again. Highly recommended!
We had a great experience with Jeannette. She took wonderful care of my dog. I live in an area that has no reliable pet care, so my dog travels with me and stays with a local sitter. I’m always a little nervous, but Jeannette was very communicative prior to and great from our first meet. I would definitely use her again if I travel back to Destin.
We had a great experience! Ginny was very nice, kept us updated with pictures, and took great care of Cali and Diego. They’re both completely knocked out today, so I’m pretty sure they had a great time! 😂 We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
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!

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.
94% of sitters in Valparaiso 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
