About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I have a genuine passion for animals! 🐾❤️ I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior pets requiring extra patience, attention, and medication, I provide loving, personalized care for every furry friend. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who treats your pets like family. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty training routines, walks, bathing, administering medications, and caring for pets with special needs. I also have experience fostering animals through St. Francis Animal Rescue! 🐶🐱 I provide regular photo and video updates, maintain a clean and comfortable environment, and always respect each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your pet loves endless cuddles, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing in a cozy space, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With me, your pets aren’t just guests, they’re family! 🏡💕 Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! 🐾 As a dedicated pet parent and animal lover, I make sure every furry guest receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I offer boarding, daycare, and dog walking, with a flexible routine that allows me to accommodate different schedules and needs. My days include regular potty breaks every 2–3 hours, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and plenty of cuddles! 🐶❤️ I do my best to maintain each pet’s familiar routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I also provide regular photo and video updates so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy, loved, and well cared for while they’re away! 🏡💕 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! 🏡🐾 I provide a clean, loving, and structured home environment where every pet is treated like family. I typically accept a maximum of two boarding dogs at a time, but may accommodate a third depending on the dogs’ sizes, temperaments, and compatibility. This allows me to ensure every furry guest receives personalized care, attention, and a comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, offer potty breaks every 2–3 hours, provide regular walks, and respect their individual needs and personalities. I also have a spacious crate available when needed and maintain a consistent household routine to help pets feel safe and relaxed. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important safety, trust, and communication are. I provide regular photos, videos, and updates throughout each stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, comfortable, and loved! Your pet’s home away from home, where they’re always treated like family! 🐶🐱❤️

About: Ive been working with animals for over 8 years. I worked at an animal shelter in WV for three years as a kennel tech, and then at the Farlie animal hospital in WV for two as an animal technician. And currently I am working at an animal shelter in miami. I know how much our animals mean to our family but I would love the chance to care for your animal. I work 10 hours shifts 4x a week at a doggy daycare. But I have no problem stopping by before or after work, and stopping by on my lunch break to give them love and to go potty! I am currently not accepting boarding in my home due to temporary taking care of a friend’s dog. Who is a bit shy and nervous of new animals.

About: Hi! My name is Shania, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Depending on your pet’s needs, visits can include walks, playtime, feeding, refreshing their water, giving them attention and companionship, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you know how your pet is doing. I work as a nurse, so I’m responsible, dependable, and comfortable following detailed instructions. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with pet care depending on the day and service needed. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and availability ahead of time so we can make sure it’s a good fit. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I’m currently working from home as needed, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available all days of the week and can provide plenty of time, attention, and care for your pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for pets to play and relax. I live in a quiet, enclosed neighborhood that is great for walks. My home is smoke-free and I can provide a calm, comfortable, and safe environment for your pet.

“OMG! If you're looking to board your pets, these two are the ones to do it. We took our dogs for a meet n greet and I felt comfortable with them from that point. They kept us informed of our dogs' daily activities with pictures and videos throughout the day. Alex is very knowledgeable about animal behavior and was very honest. This was my 1st time boarding my dogs, so I was a little apprehensive, but they put our minds at ease. Please try them for yourselves; you won't be disappointed. This will be my go to couple for boarding, hands down.”

About: I’ve lived with all kinds of animals my entire life, I live on a farm and understand the hardships and responsibility of having a pet, and people known me to be a responsible care giver. I have also pet sitter before. Personally in my experience and love for animals, there is never not a good time to give your pets the love and time they deserve/need. I take my pets out to go to the bathroom throughout the day, I feed them breakfast and dinner, and give them cuddles and playtime on their terms.

About: Hi, I'm Shontavia! I have an immense love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and species. Whether your furry friend needs a long walk or requires specialized attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a dedicated dog sitter, I provide comprehensive care tailored to your dog's specific routine. I handle daily feedings, energetic playtime, safe neighborhood walks, and refreshing baths to ensure your pup stays happy, clean, and healthy while you are away. I understand the unique environments and specific diets these specialized pets need to thrive.I look forward to giving your pets the high-quality love, safety, and attention they deserve! Working from home with a flexible schedule makes pet sitting exceptionally easy to manage. I seamlessly blend animal care into my workday without disrupting my professional productivity. If you choose in-home boarding, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. While I have my own beloved pets, they enjoy their own dedicated personal space. This allows me to maintain strict, secure boundaries, giving guest pets their own comfortable, stress-free zone to relax without any forced interactions. Whether I am caring for family members in my home or visiting yours, I treat every animal with the high-quality love, patience, and attentive care they deserve!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs throughout my life, starting with my first dog, Brownie, who was part of my family for 11 wonderful years. That experience taught me how much patience, love, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for a dog. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of walks, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Your dog won’t simply be let out into the backyard and left there, they’ll get dedicated walks, activity, playtime, and attention. My goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and treated like family I work from home, so I’m here throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention and supervision. I offer daycare from 9am to 5pm and boarding. Your dog will have time for walks, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than simply being left outside. I work from home, providing constant supervision, daily walks, exercise, playtime with my dog, potty breaks, and care while following your dog’s routine and preferences for comfort

“Our dogs love going to Freddy and Talenas house! We first used them for an out of town wedding and things seemed to go really well. We received photos throughout and when we picked them up the family was so sad to see them leave. We then booked them for a much longer period for an international trip. We were curious how they would react when we brought them back and they sprinted to the door, played with their husky pup and were rolling on the floor for belly rubs. It’s clear our boys feel right at home with their family, so much so they don’t want to leave. We appreciate their family so much for taking such good care of the dogs and for loving on them just as we would if we were home. They have been incredibly flexible for our crazy schedules and we’re excited to have them as support for the pups going forward.”

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Brandon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Brandon is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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 3,527 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Brandon. About 93% of Brandon 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.
