“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“The service was amazing! I had a situation and I was able to drop off Roxy a little earlier. The daily messages with pictures was a plus. Roxy seemed very happy and came home super tired. I fully recommend the service.”
“Ali was very friendly and flexible when we were not sure at what time we would coming back. I loved that she kept me informed and sent pics every day. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
“Tanya was an amazing dog sitter and welcomed our Charlie into her home and treated her like part of the family! I felt such peace leaving her there, and enjoyed all the pictures and updates while we were gone! When I picked Charlie up, she looked absolutely happy and beautiful, as Tanya had brushed her out and treated her with such love and care. We will definitely book with Tanya again! Thank you very much!”
“Natalya took care of our 18 month maltipoo, Charlee, while we were out of town for the holidays. She was absolutely wonderful with Charlee! I felt completely at ease with her and she sent daily photos and videos to us. Charlee also had a great time playing with her dog Masha! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Maria and her family were fantastic! They watched Daisy in their home and were very communicative and took lots of pictures. My dog was excited to see me when I picked her up, but clearly not stressed out. I highly recommend Maria, especially with Frenchies. I’ll be using her again when possible.”
“Marlena was amazing!!! She has a special gift of caring for animals! Our two dogs were so well taken care of. She sent updates with photos consistently throughout their stay. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving them with Marlena. We will definitely use her again when in the area!”
“Hector was great! Updates with photos daily about our dogs which i really appreciated. Our dogs came home happy and tired from playing! Thank you! Would definitely recommend using Hector to keep your dogs!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”
About: What makes me different is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines, and I’m comfortable providing plenty of playtime, attention, feeding, walks, and companionship. I’m also patient, dependable, and attentive to details, which helps me notice when something is different with a pet’s behavior or routine. My experience as a Med Tech in an assisted living facility has also taught me responsibility, patience, compassion, and how important it is to follow care instructions carefully. I bring those same qualities to pet sitting. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would give my own pets. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to meet your pet's needs. I'm passionate about animals and am working toward making pet sitting my full-time career, so providing your pets with the best care possible is something I truly care about. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other special care. I’ll also give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respectful. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Highly recommend! Sidney and her whole family were amazing. She stayed in contact with us and even helped us out to adjust our booking after an unexpected stay in another city.”
“Once again, Brittney and Dennis did an amazing taking care of our kittens. Their dog and cats have become besties with our fur babies and I couldn't be more happy they all get along so well. We highly recommend them.”
“Sierra and her family made Thor feel right at home. We could tell when we picked him up that he was happy and felt comfortable with them. We had a peace of mind to know he was safe and loved while we were away. We highly recommend Sierra, she was very accommodating and kind, we’ll definitely be using her again in the future.”

We did a pre-visit to see how our dog would be with Lexi, the dog was great with her. We received updates and pictures every day while our dog was with Lexi. Our dog looked great when we picked her up after our Cruise. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and companion and definitely use her again as needed.
Joanna was AMAZING with Chili. Our dog is very high energy and still in her naughty puppy phase, so i'm always weary of finding dog sitters who can handle her. Joanna was the best dog sitter we've had to date, sharing daily updates/photos/videos, taking her to the dog park daily, even offered to take her to the pool which is a TREAT for our dog. Not only that, but Joanna's dog Saint was the perfect companion for our dog, keeping her company and becoming a new doggie friend. We're looking forward to Chili's next stay with Joanna!
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED BOOKING WITH LISBETH Lisbeth deserves a ROSE for every star given. She took a last minute appointment for paraplegic dog. This is the 1st time she’s left my side since her accident at the Bradenton Humane Society veterinary clinic on April 7, 2026. Lisbeth is as warm as depicted on her profile. When meeting her I immediately hugged her and the vibe I got from calmed me immediately. She escorted me to her home. When entering, my jaws dropped. Her place was immaculate, and highly organized from the overview. What really impressed me was that she was keeping 4 other dogs and 3 cats, Lizbeth's place was like an indoor dog park oasis with cats. The cats and dogs got alone and Daisy, my baby seemed totally unscathed in that atmosphere. I can’t believe that I was not worried at all. She was giving all of the babies love including my Daisy and it was genuine, judging by the demeanor of the other pets. Lisbeth also works with disabled pets (superwoman). I had a wonderful trip until I began to feel guilty about NOT worrying. Ms Lisbeth, thank you, you made it impossible for me to worry and I bet you didn’t know that. I pray that you can continue this ministry. God has given you a special gift. I would not doubt if someone were to say,”you can actually talk to the animal. I am so grateful to have met you. I look forward to her next booking. Oh did I tell you that she sent photo updates as well. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED BOOKING WITH LISBETH. Neither will your baby:-)
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!!!!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Ellenton is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,712 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ellenton. About 93% of Ellenton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
