Dog Boarding in Orlando
The kennel alternative: a real home, not a crate
Orlando is built around travel, from theme-park weekends to convention trips downtown, and that often means leaving a dog behind for days at a time. In-home boarding keeps your dog out of a loud kennel and inside a real home with a routine, daily walks near spots like Lake Eola Park or the Cady Way Trail, and air conditioning that matters during a Florida summer. For dogs that get anxious in a facility, staying as a guest in a sitter's house is a calmer way to spend the time you are away.
Petme also keeps the money simple for Orlando owners. The rate you agree with your sitter is the rate you pay, because owners are charged 0% commission, and you earn cashback after every completed stay. With nightly rates in the city sitting around $32 to $68, that adds up across the multi-day trips Orlando travel tends to involve, and every booking still carries up to $20,000 in vet protection with a verified, background-checked sitter.

FAQ
Common questions about dog boarding in Orlando
How much does dog boarding cost in Orlando?
Most Orlando dog boarding runs about $32 to $68 a night, with around $44 typical for one dog. The rate depends on your dog's size, the length of the stay, and the neighborhood, with sitters in areas like Winter Park or Dr. Phillips sometimes priced a little higher. On Petme the rate you agree with the sitter is the rate you pay, since owners are charged 0% commission.
How is in-home boarding different from a kennel?
In-home boarding means your dog stays inside a sitter's house as a guest, not in a row of runs at a facility. Your dog keeps a normal routine with home walks, a couch to nap on, and one-on-one attention instead of being crated between staff shifts. Petme sitters across Orlando, from College Park to Lake Nona, host only a small number of dogs at a time.
Can I find a sitter for a large or high-energy breed?
Many Orlando Petme sitters board large and high-energy dogs and list the sizes and breeds they take in their profiles. Look for sitters near walking spots like Baldwin Park or the Bill Frederick Park dog park, where a big dog can burn off energy daily. You can message a sitter before booking to confirm they have the space and yard your dog needs.
Can I book a sitter on short notice?
Last-minute and same-day bookings are often possible in Orlando, especially in dog-dense neighborhoods like Thornton Park, Mills 50, and Audubon Park where more sitters are active. Availability is never guaranteed for a specific date, so the sooner you search the better your options. Filter by your dates and message sitters directly to confirm they can take your dog right away.
What does the $20,000 vet protection cover?
Each Petme booking includes up to $20,000 toward eligible vet expenses if your dog is injured or falls ill during the stay. It is meant for unexpected emergencies, so if something happens the sitter can get your dog to any licensed Orlando emergency clinic without you worrying about the bill upfront. The protection applies per booking, on top of the sitter being verified and background-checked.
Is dog boarding a good option during theme-park or convention trips?
In-home boarding fits Orlando's theme-park and convention travel well, since long days at the parks or the convention center leave no room to check on a dog at a hotel. A sitter keeps your dog in a cool, air-conditioned home through Florida's summer heat instead of a hot car or crate. You get photo updates while you are out, so you can travel knowing your dog is settled.
