“THE BEST! Lisbeth took the best care of my old man. 15year old Jake (cat) takes medicine twice a day. Lisbeth's Vet Tech skills were why I chose her, but there were even more things that made us glad Jake was in her hands. It was a last minute booking, and then we requested to come later. She was kind and accommodating throughout the hosting, including letting us come early to pick him up. Lisbeth responded quickly to every text, and she was always cheerful. She sent me a picture of my Jakey-Boy so I could see he was content. He had never been boarded ever, so I had worries, that were needless. If you are deciding who to choose to take care of your fur baby, look no further. You have found the best choice!”
“Our dog, Wrigley, was extremely well cared for while we were away visiting our daughter and grandkids across the country. Due to bad weather, our flight home was delayed, then cancelled. Kym and Glen were glad to keep him longer! We loved the pictures they sent us of him to show he was doing well. We were very impressed with his care and would highly recommend them for dog care! Thanks agin for taking such good care of our boy!🦮❤️”
“Second time we’ve used Jessica! Drop off and pick up are very streamlined. Our pup was obviously well cared for, and we’re glad to have a sitter we like enough to use repeatedly.”
“Alyssa took great care of Hattie, and we would definitely use her again. Great communication and just a very sweet soul. Thank you so much for watching Hattie while we were away.”
“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.”
“Winston had a great stay at Morgan’s. Lots of cuddle time with her little ones and he loved playing outside in the fenced in backyard. I would highly recommend Morgan and hope to use here again in the future.”
“I really appreciated Stephanie and Elizabeth's kindness and patience with our dog, Penny, who has a hard time adjusting to new people and places. They sent photos/videos and updates each day of Penny's stay, and also gave her meds successfully. Thanks so much for taking care of our girl!”
“Kendall and Dre’ are wonderful sitters. We had used them in the past and this time did not disappoint. My pup, Dexter, feels so comfortable there and we feel comfortable leaving him with them. A bonus is their sweet dog, Zeus.”
“So very happy to have found Audrey & Karson. Knowing that my anxious dogs are well taken care of is such a relief. I'm torn about giving them a good review because I want to keep them for myself. :)”
“Lioubov was absolutely wonderful!! We got pictures and updates every day, without ever having to even ask! She watched our hyperactive, Elton, a near 5 year old, black lab mix, over Christmas, while we were out of state. Elton would be thrilled to stay with her again, and we will be very comfortable to allow him to :) Thank you again for caring for our fur baby like your own!”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”
“I was extremely satisfied with Lizabeth & Earl's care of my pup for 4 days. Daily updates, videos, responsiveness and I really appreciated their professionalism with the meet & greet to go over care needs ect. Highly recommend anyone looking for their pets to consider them!”
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!

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. ❤️🐾
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“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!”
“Tatyana is an amazing sitter! She was attentive, reliable, and always sent updates and pictures. My dogs were happy and well cared for the whole weekend. I’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you Tatyana, Mooney and Mama loved their stay.”
“Ducky had such a great time while we were away. She was able to accommodate us last minute. I felt super confident with her care. Was worried he would be sad but he had an absolute blast. Would use her care again in future”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
We got lots of videos of our pets while we were gone. They seemed to have a nice time staying with Lisbeth. Our dog had other dogs to play with. Our cats enjoyed laying in the cat tree. We were happy not to be worried about them as we were gone about 10 days. Hopefully we can book her again sometime. ♡
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! 🥰
Patricia was great. She took care of Benni, who is a very shy and fearful Yorkie, for three nights. Benni absolutely did not want to leave us, but she became so comfortable that she bonded with, sat with and slept on Patricia's bed. Patricia sent plenty of pictures and descriptions of Benni's care. We would definitely hire Patricia again, but we are only visiting Alaska and may not have another chance.
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!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ellenton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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 of October 2026, there are 2,645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ellenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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 , 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 .
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.
