“This is our first time using Rover and we were fortunate to have contacted Tatiana for the care of our beagle during our vacation. She was spectacular with our puppy and kept us up to date with messages, photos and videos. I give Tatiana a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be scheduling with her again in the future.”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for my 1 year old Cockapoo. I was a little nervous about finding a sitter when we moved in September. Thanks to Rover and Linda I found a way to be comfortable about leaving my baby. After having a meet and greet with Linda, I was sure that I found the right person. I was happy when she advised me during the day and sent cute pictures. It made my weekend away so much better knowing my puppy was well taken care of.”
“Great sitter! They've got kids and dogs at the house, and I think all that company made Cotti really comfortable — she settled right in. Easy to communicate with, no stress on our end. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three cats of my own, and I’ve created a comfortable space on my 5-acre property specifically with pet sitting and boarding in mind. Your pet will have plenty of space, attention, playtime, and a cozy home-away-from-home while you’re away. I love getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine, whether they’re energetic and playful or happiest relaxing and getting lots of attention. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing throughout their stay! I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout their stay. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home. I’ve set up a separate guest house specifically to provide pets with a comfortable, peaceful home away from home. My property has plenty of outdoor space for supervised walks, playtime, and exploring, while the guest house gives pets their own cozy space to relax indoors. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Alyssa took good care of Leo and was very communicative throughout his stay. I appreciated the photos she sent with each update as well! We will use her again.”
“Our little dog, Miss JJ had a wonderful time with Nancy! Nancy sent us photos and emails during our travels, and we loved hearing from her. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Angela was so very kind, considerate, and respectful of our time. Meet and greet as well as drop off/pick up were a breeze. Absolutely felt 1000% comfortable leaving my baby with her and it looked like our dogs had such a great time together. Thank you again for letting Luna play with Bieber!”
“We never boarded our dog here in Florida so we were a bit nervous. We are so happy we found Jessica and Melissa! They were so great with our little dog and she came home so happy! She has a special diet and they easily handled it. She was able to play with a couple other dogs her size and she loved them. They sent me photos every day and their communication was excellent. We will definitely use them again!”
“Hope was able to take my dog on short notice after a different sitter cancelled at the last minute. There were lots of dogs for my pup to play with, and lots of space indoors and out for him to move around. She was communicative and provided updates and photos.”
“Kym was great with my pup. While I was out of town visiting family and living my best life, Pixie was living her best life with Kym. She made sure that she got plenty of exercise and snuggles and even took her out on the golf cart which she loved. I really appreciate that Kym was able to watch my dog on fairly short notice as well after my primary sitter became unavailable. I may have just found a new primary sitter.”
“Morgan is very sweet and attentive. My dog seemed to enjoy his 2 day stay. A few pics were sent as well as texts so I knew he was in great hands. She has a great backyard and her children also helped to entertain my pet. Definitely recommend Morgan if your dog thrives on being the only pet cared for and being surrounded by a loving family.”
“Stacia and her family were Extremely great with our Roxy. She was very informative and kept us updated constantly on Roxy, she sent lots of pics, her dogs got along great with ours. We felt very comfortable and safe with Roxy in her care. We will definitely be booking her in the future for our trips away.”
“Oliver and Sawyer had a wonderful time staying with Sandy and Lulu. They had such fun playing ball, running in the yard and made a new friend! Sandy is a fantastic care giver and treated our dogs like they were her own. They loved their time with her! Would absolutely recommend and use her again.”
“Eve took wonderful care of our pup! Loved the great communication with lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel at ease knowing she was well cared for. Thank you Eve for making our Debbie a happy girl!”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth took great care of our two pups for almost two weeks. They sent us regular photos and always responded quickly to messages. We will definitely use them again!”
About: I have a dog of my own who I treat like my child, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ We’re a dog-loving household—my parents live with me and absolutely love dogs too! My dad is home full-time, and I’m home most of the time, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My sweet dog is very friendly and loves making new friends, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for playtime and companionship. 🐾 With our fenced yard, plenty of walks, cuddles, playtime, and lots of love, my goal is to make your pup feel like part of our family while they’re here. I’m also happy to follow your pup’s usual routine and accommodate special requests whenever possible. Just let me know what helps your pup feel most comfortable! For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do require a meet & greet before accepting a boarding stay. This gives our dogs a chance to meet and helps make sure they’re comfortable together and a good match. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and getting lots of love. 🐶💕 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine since I have a dog of my own. 🐾 I’m home most of the time, and my dad is home full-time, so there is usually someone around to give the dogs plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Our days include regular walks, time outside in our fenced yard, feeding, playtime, and of course lots of cuddles! Having another pup stay with us fits right into our routine—and my dog is always happy to have a new friend to share his day with. Safety is very important to me, which is why I require a meet & greet before boarding to make sure our dogs get along and everyone feels comfortable. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines or requests whenever possible—just let me know what your pup needs!

Lisbeth is so wonderful!!! My baby while friendly, she’s very shy and when I picked her up, I could tell she already loves Lisbeth. I am so glad I went with my instinct. I would have Lisbeth take care of my baby again with peace of mind. She also calmed my separation anxiety with pics, videos and texts while I was away. Thank you again Lisbeth! 🩷🐾🐕
Two thumbs up for Kym and Glenn! This was my first time using Rover. Kym responded to my reservation request right away. We made arrangements for everyone to meet and see their space prior to the drop off. Their dogs welcomed my dog Coco and Glenn showed me their space; a beautiful shaded, fenced in backyard and the run of the house. After the drop off, I received pictures and texts letting me know how Coco was doing. They made it easy and being away from Coco, stress free.
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! 🥰
This was my first time with Stacia and I am more than pleased with her care. Annie had so much fun playing with her new best friend and I know this because Stacia sent me videos every day. Stacia also sent photos if her. I definitely recommend Stacia for caring for your dog. Annie can't wait to go back!!!!

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 Ellenton 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 Ellenton 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 Ellenton.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ellenton 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.
