“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.”
“She sent photos of different activities throughout the week and answered my messages promptly. She was very flexible with last minute changes. Harry was very happy at her home.”
“My mini schnauzer, Greta, had a great time at the Christmas holiday and had so much fun with Olga's two little 4 legged pals. She even came home with a little reindeer toy and pictures of her stay. How thoughtful! I will definitely bring her back the next time I go out of town.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Abby was amazing! Was such a last minute booking and I was so nervous. Did a meet and greet first and Batman and her got along great. She eased all my worries. Sent me update videos and photos all the time! Will definitely reach out to her again. 😊”
“Carol has been extremely helpful and caring throughout Percy's stay with her last week. She went above and beyond to accomodate us in times of need and challenge to find a suitable in-home boarding for our Percy. Carol's prompt and positive response gave us the opportunity to carry on with our plan. We received regular updates and pictures of Percy that were very reassuring and heartwarming. We feel so lucky and are very grateful to meet Carol. We will definitely stay in touch with her and gladly take Percy to her for his next boarding stay. Carol's kind and gracious care are unmatched and we highly recommend her. She is a great asset in our community.”
“Candice was awesome!! She took our booking last minute and was very flexible. She has a great fenced yard which the dogs enjoyed immensely, they had a great time!! Would highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I provide personalized care and attention to every pet. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home much of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and consistency. I'm comfortable caring for small to medium sized dogs of all ages. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so my availability is open. I am available for boarding at my home and I can also do drop-in visits and walks for dogs. I have a fenced yard that my own golden doodle uses. I can crate your dog as well if needed. They are allowed on furniture and beds. I want them to feel comfortable and like they are at home.
“Lori was great with communicating and sending pictures of our dog throughout his stay. She took care of him like he was her own. We will definitely use Lori again!”
“Bonita and her family provided excellent care for my pups. I received several updates with pictures throughout the day. When we picked up our pups, we can tell they felt comfortable with the family are were loved.”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“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!”
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of our sweet Charlie! Daily she sent updates, pics and even a video of him playing! Excellent communication throughout ! Highly recommend!”
“Vinny is awesome! He was very patient with both me and Duke. As an anxious ‘mom’ he reassured me that Duke would do fine, and sent me pics with him smiling, so I knew he was ok.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
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!
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!

There are 2,689 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ellenton. About 92% 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.

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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
