“Kym & Glen took such great care of my Frankie! They both have great personalities and communicated well with me during my dogs stay. I could hardly get Frankie to come back home with me he had so much fun!”
“You won't find a better pet sitter than Linda and her husband Brian. They are devoted to their sweet girl Carmi, who plays so well with any dog they bring into their home. I have no worries when I leave Hank, other than she will be booked the next time I need her. 😍♥️”
“Lisbeth is amazing! She took care of my two elderly cats-one of which is insulin dependent- neither of them have ever been boarded before. They took to her quickly and without issues. She made sure to give us daily updates and pictures too. We will be bringing them back to her in the future when needed.”
“We are so glad to have found Melissa and Jessica. They were wonderful with our two pups, Milo and Buster! To say these pups are spoilt is an understatement and they came home as happy as can be. Loved getting photos of the boys everyday. 💜🙏💜”
“Eve was great with our pittie! He can be a nervous guy, but she was patient with him and he came home happy and healthy. Eve also noticed some hot spots on his feet and gave me a recommendation on how to treat them - truly above and beyond what we expected :)”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Nancy! From start to finish, communication was consistent. Nancy kept us updated regularly and always responded quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed a stress free trip. We especially loved receiving photos while we were away. Our Hazel was in amazing hands. Nancy’s attentiveness and genuine care stood out. They went on golf cart and car rides which Hazel loved. Nancy went above and beyond. It’s not easy to leave your pet behind, but knowing Hazel was safe and comfortable made a huge difference. We would highly recommend Namcy to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her for future trips!”
“We left our picky old gal, Darby, with the two for 8 nights. They kept us informed about her along the way! We feel very blessed to have found them and will book with them again! Darby is 12 1/2, set in her habits, takes medicine, and needs attention! Darby came back healthy and happy! Thanks so much!!!”
“Stacia and her family were so sweet! Ghost was so well taken care of. I was constantly getting funny and cute pictures of my baby, Our dogs got along so well! Ghost will miss you guys! Can’t wait to book again🥰”
“Ranae is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat client. She was very good at making sure our baby was comfortable and happy. She also checked in with me at least once per day, with photos, to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her.”
“Audrey and Joseph are always the first place I check when I need a sitter! They do a great job of making my pup feel welcome and send daily photos. Trust them 100% with my fur baby.”
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“So lucky to have found Angela - she's a gem! Our Stella enjoyed her vacation time with both Angela and her dog, Bieber. Thank you for the peace of mind and we will definitely see you again!”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“They took very good care of our two dogs. We were kept updated on how they were doing. The fenced in backyard was great for the dogs as they normally don’t get to run around. Definitely will rebook for future times.”
“Felicia is kind and caring. I always felt like my dog was in great hands. Always appreciated her updates, photos, and videos. Would Definitely recommend her to others and would use her again myself.”

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!!!!
Adelyn was nothing short of amazing! Had to book a sitter last minute for an emergency vacation and Adelyn was very understanding and accommodating throughout the stay. She went above and beyond and truly cared for him as if he was her own. Updated me with plenty of pics and videos, and at peace with my pet in a time of chaos. Thankful to have found her and have a sitter for the future that’ll provide excellent care!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ellenton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Ellenton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ellenton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
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.
