About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 7 years old, so I’ve always been comfortable caring for dogs. Over the years, I’ve taken care of dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I started pet sitting on my own through friends, family, and referrals from other sitters. Since my dog is a senior, I also understand the extra patience and care older dogs need, while still being comfortable with younger, energetic dogs. I’m currently in college, with most of my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the morning through early afternoon. I also have flight training about 2–3 times a week, usually early in the morning or later at night. Outside of that, I’m usually home studying or doing homework, so I have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. I offer pet sitting in the client’s home and can make multiple visits throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m also available for overnight stays, depending on the day of the week and my schedule. Additionally, I offer dog-walking services and would be happy to accommodate your pet’s needs as much as possible!
“Gloria was such a blessing. Our Luna had never spent time with anyone other than family. She did so well with Gloria! Gloria sent pictures daily with updates on how Luna was doing! Everything was wonderful! Thank you!!!!”
“We are so happy to have found Felicia & Greg to take of our dog. Our dog felt right at home - when I pulled up into their driveway, our dog was so excited to get out of the car to run and play with their dogs. Don’t hesitate to leave your dog in their care.”
“Tiffany was an amazing hostess for my fur baby. Laya has actually been hoping in the car as if she is going back. This was my first time using Rover and because of Tiffany, I will continue to use them. Tiffany I truly appreciate you. Thank you for providing pictures daily and thank you for taking good care of Laya. You truly are an amazing person.”
“Kash had his own little vacation with Leslie, while we had ours! Leslie kept us updated with videos and pictures and he came home a happy boy. Thank you so much, I would highly recommend using Leslie’s services for your pup ❤️”
“Jessica and her family took amazing care of our dog and treated him like a part of their family! She sent me frequent updates and photos and I never had to worry about him. Drop off and pickup were a breeze. Communication was excellent. We’ll definitely use Jessica again in the future!”

Josh was great with my pups! He was attentive, easy to communicate with, and made them feel right at home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. I really appreciate him taking such good care of them and would definitely will rebook on our next adventure! The meet and greet was a great idea and I'm glad he asked if we wanted to do that! Thank you so much!
Everything went great! My dog stayed for 3 days and was so happy. Communication was great, and I loved getting pictures of him enjoying his time with the other dogs. He looked very comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend them and book with them again! 🐶❤️
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Melbourne is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 of October 2026, there are 493 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 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 West Melbourne 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 West Melbourne home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
