“This is the first time we have boarded Rosie through Rover and we couldn’t have picked a better person. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and getting updates about how she was doing. Definitely recommend!!”

“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.”

“First time using Rover and Kym and Glen gave my dog a great home away from home. They regularly sent photos and promptly answered any concern that I had. I feel she the care she was given while there was top notch. Thanks to both Kym and Glen!”

“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.”

“This was our first time having Eve as a dog sitter for our buddy Barnes. She is lovely, very caring and sent thorough updates throughout his stay. We will absolutely use Eve again when we need a sitter.”

“Nancy was great. She gave me updates about my dog pictures and texts. If I called to check up on him, she was able to answer the phone she had toys and was very sweet. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“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. 💜🙏💜”

“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.”

“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 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!
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”

“Audrey and Joe were amazing! Very warm and lovely people. You can tell they really love dogs and they treated our dog like their own. We missed our puppy so much but felt comfortable because we knew he was in good hands!”

“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!”

“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🥰”

“Dr Hope and Scott are amazing dog loving people. I did not ask for walks because they have a great backyard and it is huge to let my dogs get the exercise they need for the 4 days. They are happy to be home but they enjoyed their time there. This won’t be the last time we will book with her.”
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.

“Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩”

“First time using Stephanie and Elizabeth. They were referred to us and we are so grateful. The pictures and updates really helped to know that our pup was cared for like family.”

Sky was very kind, professional and I felt extremely comfortable dropping our dog off at her home. It was our first time meeting Sky and her sweet dog Mojo. They got along great. I had no worries. I loved that she kept us informed and sent many photos. I would definitely use Sky again.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ellenton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 2,633 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 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.
