“Our dogs usually travel with us and since they were unable to cruise with us, this was our first time boarding them. Susan took the most excellent care of Wally and June. She and her daughter were extra loving and sent daily updates with photos which made our vacation as relaxing as possible. Even though this was our first time boarding, Susan made us feel comfortable because she was/is so loving, genuinely kind and attentive to our furbabies. Our older dog, Wally can be emotional and stubborn at times with eating. Susan went above and beyond to ensure Wally ate, and she also sent updates on Wally’s eating patterns. We highly recommend Susan and will certainly book again. Thanks again, Susan for taking such great care of Wally and June. We appreciate you!”
“Adrienne and her family were fantastic caregivers for my young dog! She sent me frequent updates, pictures, and videos, and I could tell he was being well-loved and having fun the whole time. It was such a relief to be free from worrying about him while I was away and I truly think he enjoyed his vacation as much as I did mine 😃.”

“Cj is such a loving lady and loved on our pups all weekend. She sent us updates their whole stay. I highly recommend her. Lucy and Big Mama will definitely be back. Thank you so much.”
“Caesar was, without question, the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Minnie and Bunny arrived, it was obvious they were being cared for like they were part of his own crew. His daily “Captain’s Log” updates were absolutely priceless. They weren’t just updates, They were hilarious, creative, and so thoughtfully written that we looked forward to reading each one. They perfectly captured our girls’ unique personalities and made us laugh every single day while giving us complete peace of mind that they were happy, safe, and loved. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides exceptional care but also puts so much heart, humor, and effort into making pet parents feel connected while they’re away. Caesar truly went above and beyond. Minnie and Bunny clearly adored their stay, and so did we. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like family, keep you smiling with the most entertaining updates, and provide outstanding care, look no further than Caesar. We will absolutely be booking with him again. Five stars aren’t enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
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!
Christine was amazing! So attentive to my two fur babies who have never had a dog sitter before. She sent so many adorable updates and made sure they were entertained and loved throughout their entire stay. Poppy absolutely loves the toy she got to bring home with her. Would 100% recommend to anyone that works from home and has fur babies that require a little extra TLC.
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!
Charline did an amazing job caring for Molly! She followed all of our instructions carefully and truly has a genuine love for dogs. This was our first time boarding Molly with them, and Charline, her husband, and their sweet pup Gosling all made her feel so loved and cared for. We received lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Molly was getting excellent care and attention the entire time. She came back home happy, loved, and very well taken care of.Will definitely be boarding Molly again.

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.
