“Erik took great care of my dog while I was out of town. He provided daily updates/photos and made sure that my dog's first stay away from home was a good experience for her.”
“Absolutely amazing. I had a short notice trip and Erika was able to watch my two dogs. She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up and provided great communication during the stay. I will plan to use her again for future trips.”
“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.”
“There is no way to be able to let you know what a great job Sheila did taking care of Sprinkles while I was away. She not only spent the entire week making sure that Sprinkles was happy and comfortable, but she also made her a welcome member of her family. She added many extra touches to ensure that she was content, including a very cute pedicure. Thank you so much for your exceptional care of Sprinkles, and I will be leaving Sprinkles with Sheila at every opportunity.”
“Anna was so wonderful with my Max, I got pics and videos every day! She was a vet tech and I felt so comfortable with her knowledge of all his old man medications ? She was also very accommodating when I was going to be out of the country using a different app so we could communicate. Max is even going to be with her for the holidays as well when I’m out of town. I have no doubts he will have another wonderful mini vacation at Anna’s.”
“Jessica and her husband were more than hospitable to our pups. They kept us updated with pics and text letting us know how they were getting on. Great communication and amazing people. Worth every penny!”
“Wonderful family! Very attentive to Solo’s schedule and adherence to our house rules. Solo felt immediately comfortable in their home and loved his stay. Great communication and daily updates.”
“Sophia was amazing. From the moment we dropped off me and my husband both felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our baby with her. We were updated throughout his whole stay with pictures. He went on walks, and got to play with other friends. We will definitely be booking her again ❤️”
“Nikki A and her family were the absolute best! They were able to take our girls in at the last minute when our sitter we had book cancelled a few days before our trip. She keeps you posted with video's and pictures daily. Nikki is quick to respond to your messages. I highly recommend!”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“Sariah replies promptly to communication and took great care of our Marty. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs! Sariah was also great about sending photos and videos of Marty during his stay so that I knew he was having a great time. I would book with Sariah again in a heartbeat! (And I’m pretty sure Marty would go play at her house every day if he could).”
“Ginny did such an amazing job, my dog Apollo was treated wonderfully. He was there for about two weeks with a mixture of other dogs. I had frequent updates, and was told how he was being treated - the peace of mind was fantastic. I would easily book with Ginny again, I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Rich and Kayla were awesome sitters. They took on the car of our 10 month old velociraptor without a second thought! Kayla sent daily updates with pictures and even gave him a bath (after he was bad and decided to they needed a hole in their backyard). 😐 Thank you again for taking such great care of Barley! He said it was just like summer camp and can’t wait to come swim again.”
“Oakie was a great sitter for my dog. It was last minute but she was able to accommodate us and we were so thankful that she could. She sent pictures daily also text and responded to my texts in a timely manner. She was the perfect match for my dog. I highly recommend her and definitely will use her again.”
“Ashley was awesome! Super easy to get everything set up! Daily updates and photos multiple times a day. Very flexible on my pickup, since I was flying back into town and was unsure exactly when I would get back. She is the Best!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valparaiso
Let me start out by saying that I have been using Rover since its inception so I have had the opportunity of using many of Rovers sitters, that said out of all of them Erik was the very best.. He was so kind to my boys that I felt like I was leaving them with family.. Erik sent videos and pictures daily and kept in touch almost everyday..with a fenced in back yard. And multiple daily walks my boys had their exercise!! The best part for me is he didn’t take in multiple ( 4-6) pets like others that I have used.. He is #1on my list..
Nikki A and her family were the absolute best! They were able to take our girls in at the last minute when our sitter we had book cancelled a few days before our trip. She keeps you posted with video's and pictures daily. Nikki is quick to respond to your messages. I 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
