“Lisbeth took very good care of my little girl. She sent pictures and information about how she was doing. I had confidence in Lisbeth because she is a vet tech and would know what to do in an emergency. Kayla came back clean and happy…what more could you ask for? Thank you, Lisbeth. I will be using you again.”

About: Hi! I’m Allyson, dog mom to Woody and Birdie. 🐾 We absolutely love having dogs come stay and spend time with us in our home! My yard is fully fenced as safety is a priority for me. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m a lifelong dog lover and formerly worked as a veterinary assistant, giving me lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Our home also has a pool, and I spend a good amount of time each day exercising my own dogs in it. If your dog already loves to swim, they’re welcome to enjoy some pool time too! And if you’d like me to help teach your dog how to swim safely, I’d be happy to work with them at their own pace. I was previously on Rover and am so happy to be back! I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about who is caring for your dog, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have. I’d love to meet you and your pup soon! 🐶❤️ I'm Allyson, dog mom to Woody and Birdie. We absolutely love having dogs come stay and spend time with us in our home!

I'd love to meet you and your pup soon! 🐶🐾 The dogs and I will spend our days outside enjoying my fully fenced backyard, where they’ll have plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the sunshine. They will never be left outside unattended. Safety is extremely important to me, and I take it very seriously. In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, my veterinarian is conveniently located just ½ mile from my home and has a 24-hour emergency hospital attached to the practice, so your pup can receive immediate care if needed. Before your dog’s stay, please let me know if they have ever experienced any health concerns, medical conditions, allergies, injuries, or other issues that I should be aware of. Knowing their history helps me provide the safest and most comfortable care possible. ❤️🐾
“Nancy made our little one feel right at home. Her place is quiet and cozy. Since she only sits one dog at a time, we knew our anxious doggo would be perfectly happy staying with her. She sent us pictures and videos of Koah as well which made us feel comfortable leaving him for the long weekend. We will definitely work with Nancy again!”
“Sky was really amazing and flexible. She took great care of my Pug and was very quick to reply every time. It was great to work with her and I could tell she really enjoys this.”
“Jessie & her family hosted our beloved girls this past week and it was an easy and reassuring experience. Jessie is very flexible and communicative, kind and pleasant and seems to truly enjoy hosting dogs. Our labradoodles were calm and happy upon pickup and they seemed to have enjoyed their time with walks, snuggles and play with Jessie’s own small pup. Thank you to Jessie and her crew for a great boarding experience.”
“I just picked up my dog Oliver. He came home happy and tired. It was the first time I’ve ever left him, but I felt so comfortable with Donna and Michael that I knew he would be in good hands. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
“Just wonderful! We left our Norfolk Terrier, Holly with Lori and Jim for 2 weeks while we were overseas and were absolutely at peace the whole time. Lori would send photos each day with a tidbit of what Holly was up to. They are very caring and we are so glad we found them. Holly enjoyed her stay very much! We highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such good care of her!!”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“Carol has been wonderful with Reagan…so caring and enthusiastic with him. We received pictures or videos daily, which makes our time away relaxing and stress-free. We will definitely continue booking with Carol. She’s amazing!”
“I met Thelma before the scheduled weekend. She was thorough with her questions and knew I was putting my Chew Chew in good hands. My pup came home as happy as when I dropped him off. He stayed with Thelma and Gary for two days and I highly recommend. They'll be seeing my Chew again.”
“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Wonderful communication and care on a very last minute booking. Didn't have to worry at all because my normally shy pup seemed to immediately snuggle in and love Yvette”
“Charlie is the absolute best!! My Piper was right at home and I got so many updates and photos. He was flexible and played with her so much She came back home nice and tired. The best feeling after traveling. Highly recommend Charlie!”

We did a pre-visit to see how our dog would be with Lexi, the dog was great with her. We received updates and pictures every day while our dog was with Lexi. Our dog looked great when we picked her up after our Cruise. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and companion and definitely use her again as needed.
Joanna was AMAZING with Chili. Our dog is very high energy and still in her naughty puppy phase, so i'm always weary of finding dog sitters who can handle her. Joanna was the best dog sitter we've had to date, sharing daily updates/photos/videos, taking her to the dog park daily, even offered to take her to the pool which is a TREAT for our dog. Not only that, but Joanna's dog Saint was the perfect companion for our dog, keeping her company and becoming a new doggie friend. We're looking forward to Chili's next stay with Joanna!
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED BOOKING WITH LISBETH Lisbeth deserves a ROSE for every star given. She took a last minute appointment for paraplegic dog. This is the 1st time she’s left my side since her accident at the Bradenton Humane Society veterinary clinic on April 7, 2026. Lisbeth is as warm as depicted on her profile. When meeting her I immediately hugged her and the vibe I got from calmed me immediately. She escorted me to her home. When entering, my jaws dropped. Her place was immaculate, and highly organized from the overview. What really impressed me was that she was keeping 4 other dogs and 3 cats, Lizbeth's place was like an indoor dog park oasis with cats. The cats and dogs got alone and Daisy, my baby seemed totally unscathed in that atmosphere. I can’t believe that I was not worried at all. She was giving all of the babies love including my Daisy and it was genuine, judging by the demeanor of the other pets. Lisbeth also works with disabled pets (superwoman). I had a wonderful trip until I began to feel guilty about NOT worrying. Ms Lisbeth, thank you, you made it impossible for me to worry and I bet you didn’t know that. I pray that you can continue this ministry. God has given you a special gift. I would not doubt if someone were to say,”you can actually talk to the animal. I am so grateful to have met you. I look forward to her next booking. Oh did I tell you that she sent photo updates as well. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED BOOKING WITH LISBETH. Neither will your baby:-)
Tara is wonderful!! When we did our meet and greet she was very attentive to our needs for Bella. She is easy to work with and communicates appropriately. She is very organized and makes sure we are comfortable with her home. We will definitely use her again in the future!
Janette and Allyson are wonderful hosts. Their home is warm and welcoming, Allyson was fantastic at sending us photos and updates. I highly recommend them, to take care of your fur babies. Ruby our golden doodle loved her stay, she was right at home immediately. I so glad we found these wonderful pet sitters to look after her while we are away.
As usual, Gabrielle is perfect for our Scout! She loves him, cares for him, and makes him a very happy hoy! Her communication is top notch with many updates throughout the day, written, pictures, and videos. This time, Scout was pining after her as we were driving away. A sign of a true bond! 🥰
I wish I would have found Charlie and Lisa sooner. I felt comfortable with them the first time we met and RD made himself right at home at the meet and greet. They were very attentive to him and his needs. Sending pictures and updates made me feel at ease because it was the first time I left him with strangers and I could tell he felt right at home. I will definitely use Charlie and Lisa again and I would not hesitate to recommend them highly to anyone who wants their fur baby in good hands and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed!!
I had my dog, Brier, stay with Pamela for the very first time. Prior to the stay, we did a meet and greet at her house and I could quickly see how much Pamela loved animals. During his stay, Pamela sent me videos of Brier playing with her dog. He was so happy and tails a wagging. Best Rover experience to date. Brier will be so happy to go back and I will know he is in great hands!!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bradenton is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $52 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.

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.
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 Bradenton 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 Bradenton 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 Bradenton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bradenton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bradenton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
