“Our three dogs are so comfortable with Jonathan! We are always at ease knowing they are spending time with people and dogs they are familiar with. Not only is the socialization great, we have one dog with special needs and we wouldn't trust just anyone to make sure she’s happy and healthy. Every time we go for drop off, our pups get excited!”
“We had an emergency and needed overnight care for Shwanu. Chloe responded to our request within minutes and was incredibly accommodating, even when we were a little late for both drop-off and pickup. She kept us updated with regular messages and shared photos of Shwanu happily playing, which gave us great peace of mind. We had a wonderful experience working with her and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Lisa does a great job with my 2 dachshunds! She sends daily photo updates and let’s me know how they are doing throughout the stay. They stay with her and her 2 chihuahuas in her home. They love to have extra friends around. She has a safely fenced in back yard for them to potty and run around. Lisa also works for home on some days so she is able to be there with them. I would recommend her to any of my friends looking for a sitter”
“Gerardo was great! Easy to communicate with, took great care of my senior pup that has a couple special needs, sent lots of pictures and check ins... I’ll definitely call him again when Willis needs a sitter! Ty Gerardo???”
“Hannah and Aaron were great!!! 5 stars for sure. Treated our guy as their own. Communicated well and sent us pictures throughout. Will absolutely book again with them without hesitation.”
“I’m so grateful to Gail for taking such good care of our dog. We were so nervous about going on a cruise and leaving our dog with a stranger but the minute I met Gail and her two adorable goldens during the meet and greet I know our dog was in a safe, loving home. Our dog had a blast with her dogs, running and playing in her backyard. Gail sent us pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves what a great time our dog was having. Thanks so much Gail!!”
“Deanne took very good care of our dog, a very active Australian Shepherd. She was regularly in-touch with us to make sure we knew all was OK during the time we were away, and she quickly responded to our questions along the way. She sent brief updates and several photos. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we picker her up.”
“Aubriellyn was very attentive to both of my dogs. She also kept me up to date on how they both were doing and sent pictures as well. I would love to have her watch them again in the future.”
“Carissa took great care of our fur baby. She sent updates frequently. She was extremely accommodating even though I got confused with the schedule. Our puppy was well cared for. I will definitely book again.”
“I highly recommend Elizabeth. She took great care of our dog. She was reliable, friendly and communicative. We loved getting the updates, photos and videos. This put us at ease because it was the first time we left our senior dog with a sitter that was not family. I must mention her husband was great too. I absolutely will be using her service again!”
“Our pup was in great hands while we were on vacation. Ashley was the calm, gentle, loving environment our laid back pup needed and I appreciated the pictures and updates to let me know how things were going. Would recommend and use again!”
“Fen was great! She sent multiple updates and photos of our dog Quincy and made sure Quincy was comfortable. Our dog has really bad separation anxiety but Fen made sure he got a lot of walks and was comfortable during his stay.”
“We have been looking for a reliable, caring person to watch our fur babies. We read the reviews for Tara and decided to give her a try. She did not disappoint, she was extremely friendly and caring. She understood us being nervous with leaving them with a person who we did not know. She sent us pictures within 20 minutes of us leaving. Our dogs were super happy and loving their time with them. They got back home and went right to sleep, they were exhausted. We will definitely be bringing them back. Thank you Tara so very much.”
“Cameron was absolutely amazing! She worked around our weird schedule and was very accommodating. Our sweet little Rey came back as happy as ever I know she treated her as if she was her own”
“Brandon and Brittany are the absolute best. I’ve booked with them many times and will continue to book with them. They sent me updates on my doggy. I highly recommend them.”
“Thank you so much for your kindness and flexibility. I know my pup always receives the best care and attention I could hope for. His fondness for you is obvious when I drop him off.”
“Lori is professional, courteous and extremely responsive. I received pictures daily of activities and on goings with my dog. I have never boarded my 15 year old senior maltipoo before and Lori's care put me at ease while I was away. I love the service she offers of picking up and dropping off which allowed my to deal with the chaos I had to prior to helping a family member move to another state! I highly recommend her and already have her booked again real soon!”
About: Hi, I’m Darilyn and my Husband is Manuel! We have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, from newborn puppies to adults and seniors. As a dog mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. My experience includes following different feeding routines, caring for dogs who need medication, grooming, and reinforcing basic training. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level so their care feels familiar. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, a leisurely sniff walk, or a little extra patience and affection, I’ll follow your instructions and give them attentive, loving care. I’m happy to share photos and updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. I speak English and Spanish and would love to meet you and your furry family member! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Our day includes morning, midday, and evening walks or potty breaks, with time for play, companionship, and rest in between. I follow your pet’s usual feeding and care schedule as closely as possible. Before booking, we’ll discuss their needs and how long they’re comfortable being alone to make sure my availability is a good fit. My home has a designated space where dogs can settle in and enjoy quiet downtime, along with opportunities to spend time near me while I work. We have children and dogs at home, so a meet-and-greet helps us make sure everyone is comfortable together. Introductions are gradual, interactions are supervised, and pets have separate space for meals and rest. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and care, and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. We also have play times where they can have snacks and toys to enjoy throughout the day so there’s never a dull moment in our days!
About: I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I focus on creating a stress-free experience for both you and your pets, offering reliable communication, flexible scheduling, and genuine care that goes beyond just feeding and walking. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re away. Just like any other event in daily routine, with ease I have open availability for drop in visits, overnight and extended care on Saturdays and Sundays Lots of love and cuddles with Escobar (my mini-french bulldog) always ensuring to stay vigilant with my fur baby. Being mind ful of security risk and eyes on them at all times

Joshua took great care of both of our dogs. He sent photos regularly and the dogs looked right at home. He had them during the recent flooding and we weren’t concerned at all as he kept us informed and updated on everything going on back home. I know they had an amazing time, and we will definitely be using Joshua in the future.
Kristine did an incredible job caring for our dogs again, and we have complete confidence in her. She’s very communicative and always keeps us updated, which gives us real peace of mind. This stay happened during the historic flooding in Brevard, and Kristine was exceptionally flexible and accommodating when the flooding made it difficult for us to pick up the dogs. She handled a stressful situation with so much care and understanding. We’re incredibly grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in West Melbourne is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 502 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Melbourne. About 95% of West Melbourne sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
