“My dog is super high anxiety and he was so calm around Lisbeth on the scariest day of the year (4th of July). Normally we can’t leave Richie home alone because of his separation anxiety but with it being the 4th of July, he definitely couldn’t be alone as he is terrified of fireworks. Lisbeth was great and has such a calming energy about her that she was able to keep Richie chill all night long. I would recommend her to literally anyone. She’s great with animals; they just love her and you can tell and she loves them too!!”
“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. 😍♥️”
“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!”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”
“She was willing and happy to take in our pups while still recovering from the hurricane! Thank you again so much for taking such good care of my babies.”
“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.”
“I am so grateful to have Eve caring for my dog! Bruce is very wary of new people but Eve is consistently patient and welcoming until he gives in and snuggles up to her. :) I know Eve will keep him safe and well-cared for. She is reliable, friendly, takes one dog at a time and works at home, so your dog will have company when they want it.”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth B. have been sitting for our Yorker mix for several years! I can’t say enough good things about their loving care they consistently provide for him!! They are very attentive to his routine, medications, and diet. They are great communicators and send frequent photos and videos when we are gone for vacations. It is such a relief to not worry about our special little one! Plus he is always so super excited every time he sees them ! I highly recommend Stephanie and Elizabeth for your precious pets care☺️”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
“Betsy was amazing with our dog, Bogey! She took such great care of him while we were away and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals- Bogey was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you Betsy❤️”
“Roxie loves staying with Ranae and her husband. She runs in to see them as if she is right at home. They are very friendly and communicative throughout. Makes me happy to see Roxie so happy.”
“Our dog spent the weekend with Janette, and we couldn't have found a better 'home away from home' for her. This is an oasis for any dog: a large, fenced yard provides plenty of room for exercise and entertainment, and her dog is great company for visiting canines. This is a true pet paradise, and we'll be recommending Janette's pet-sitting services to our friends. ”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ellenton is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
Gabrielle is fantastic! She took over the care of our dog at the last minute due to an unforeseen situation. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. She took care of him as though he were her own pet or child. In fact, I am not sure he was ready to leave! She gave him a bath just before we picked him up. He went on multiple walks throughout the day. He was never left alone (she works from home). And her place is spacious, particularly the terrace! I will definitely use her again!! Best service we have ever had!
Alexandria & Diego G were fantastic! Alexandria was very responsive and sent pictures and updates when I asked about the puppies. They were well taken care of, and their children were so well trained to handle them and good with my little guys as well! I would 100% trust them and go to them again if needed! We all (especially Nico and Nubi) thank them so very much!!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ellenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,626 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.
