“Jorge and Osvaldo were amazing with my dog Shea! They sent a ton of pictures and I could tell how much fun she was having. Amazing all around experience - thank you!”
“They were super workable with pick up and drop off, great at communicating, and kept us updated through the whole trip. Sent us pictures every day of our pup playing with their kids and any other dogs made sure to ask permission and make sure we were comfortable with everything going on highly recommend.”
“Adrienne and Nicholas are by far the best sitters. They go above and beyond to take care of The Doods, Toby + Dexter, like they were their own pups. Special thanks to Adrienne for providing carrot snacks for The Doods, since I forgot to pack them, and for surgically repairing Lamb Chops pierced ear, and the blanket. You're simply the best!”
“This was our first time using Rover and it was amazing! Angel and Scott made us feel at ease leaving our pup. We would get updates of what she was doing, pictures and videos. I highly recommend and we will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Denise was great to take my dog in a week before I had to leave. My dog got along great with her dog. I recommend her highly. My dog had to take medicine for allergies and Denise didn’t hesitate to do the job. I will bring my dog to her anytime.”
“I’ve always wished I had trusted friends or family nearby who could watch my pup while I’m away, and Bonnie & Ron truly made it feel just like that. They went above and beyond to ease my mind by arranging a meet & greet and a daycare visit beforehand, giving our pup a chance to warm up and get comfortable before our trip. It’s such a relief knowing our sweet girl is in a safe, loving, and secure environment. We are truly so grateful for their care and can’t recommend them enough!”
“It’s hard to leave my pets while I’m on vacay, but Gail’s loving home, superb supervision, and timely updates made me feel relaxed and confident while traveling. I will definitely use Gail for my next trip and I would recommend her highly.”
“It was my puppy's first time away and we had a sudden urgent need to leave home and travel 6 hrs away and could not have our pup. Olivia not only accommodated a last minute booking she was also super good and flexible with our unknown plans. Not and ideal way to leave my pup for her first time away, but you would have never known it was her first time, she has a blast!”
“Mark was great with our dog. He made Bentley feel right at home. Mark was great with communication and flexible with timing of drop off and pick up. Will definitely use him again.”
“Kristine was phenomenal handling my 2 corgis. She was flexible with her schedule for drop off and pick up since the weather wasn't ideal and she provided daily updates and photos. She was patient with me of my corgis as his temperament was a little grumpy with us gone. I would definitely recommend Kristine to others and use her again in the future.”
“Patricia was the absolute best! She took great care of my dog Tucker and made sure that he was happy the entire time. He got cuddles in bed with her and plenty of time outside. He also got to play with a couple other new friends so he is very very happy as am I. I would highly recommend Patricia for daytime sitting or overnight stays!”
“Olivia and family were terrific watching our Sully. Lots of picture updates and overall well being of him while he spent his time with Olivia and her family. Sully got lots of walks and attention. Overall great experience having Sully stay with her.”
“Debra was amazing! She was so easy to communicate and coordinate with. She took such good care of my babies, sent pictures and updates daily, and made sure they felt at home. Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Comet seemed like he had a good time with Darcy and David. They let me know how he was doing once a day. Only thing I have is he wasn't given his dry food only wet since he didnt eat it the first day. But hopefully after communication for the next time it will be better. Thanks for what you guys do. It makes traveling much easier without worrying about my puppers.”
“Definitely would recommend. Dylin took good care of Eve while we were away for a few days. She provided pictures, video, and updates. Friendly environment, clean home, good people. 👍”
“Felicia and Greg did a great job keeping my dachshund happy for the week I was gone. He got plenty of playtime and lots of love. Will definitely use them again, thank you!”
“The Best of the Best. Very good to work with. She treated Kramer with care and Kramer got along with her just fine. I will use agian in a heartbeat. Totally happy. Thank You from us to you…………👍🏻”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
Daniel has taken care of my senior baby a few times with the last time being 30 days while I was out of the country. My baby has some health issues and Daniel made sure to give her all her medications as prescribed. He sent pictures and updates. She feels comfortable with Daniel and that gave me peace of mind being so far away. Daniel is friendly and kind and easy to work with.
Kristine made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We dropped our dogs off at her place, and she kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos while they were in her care. She was friendly, punctual, and fair, and we could tell our dogs were in good hands. We’d happily book with Kristine again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!
Brandi is a genuinely caring and attentive pet-sitter! She accepted our pittie as a client, (most pet sitters won’t), and followed all my instructions to the letter. She communicated and sent pics throughout their time together. She gave Molly extra attention when she was anxious during thunderstorms. We feel confident in Brandi, as she works as veterinarian tech. But it’s really her kindness that won us over! We will definitely use her again!
Debra was the most awesome dog sitter imaginable. Our dog Salsa was comfortable with her from the start with very little separation anxiety, which made us feel so comfortable on our trip. Debra stayed in touch and sent pics so we knew Salsa was happy and adjusted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Julia was great. We are Rover newbies and Julia was very helpful. Good communication while our dog Felix stayed with her and she provided frequent updates and pictures. Felix had such a good time he slept the day he came home :-) Will recommend Julia to anybody looking for somebody to look after their dog.
Digna and Joseph provided updates and were helpful to our anxious 9 year old that fears thunderstorms and a variety of sounds. Her anxiety is expressed by barking and running around. They were patient and understanding. Love that they are home with my aging pup. Digna is very expedient in her communication. Would definitely recommend!
Brittani is great! She really cares about the well being of your pet and she shares pictures and communicates professionally throughout the entire time. Overall positive experience and I felt more than comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would highly recommend, especially if you want someone who cares!
Brian did a great job with our puppy, Jax. We were worried about leaving Jax since he is so young (13 weeks), but Brian made the drop-off, stay, and pickup easy. He communicated and sent updates and pictures daily. We were traveling from out-of-state, so finding someone reliable and willing to deal with a young puppy made our vacation less stressful! I recommend Brian to everyone looking for an overnight sitter for their pet. Jax stayed with Brian for 6 nights. No issues!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Melbourne on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Melbourne. 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.
96% of West Melbourne 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 West Melbourne 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 West Melbourne 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 West Melbourne.
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 West Melbourne 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.
