“Michelle did a terrific job for MIllie and myself. Both Millie and myself were experiencing separation anxiety, and Michelle did a great job for both of us.. Lots of photos and email dialogue reassuring my wife and I that Millie was doing fine. Truthfully, I think Millie missed being there and took a little time readjusting to being home. Will definitely try and book Michelle when we back in Florida next year.”
“Audrey and Karson were amazing with our dog, Panda! He’s over 100 pounds and a big, strong boy, but they handled him so well. Even though he’s almost 10 years old, he still acts like a puppy, and they were incredibly patient and attentive with him. They watched him for two nights, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. It’s not always easy finding someone confident with a large dog, but they exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Audrey and Karson and hope to use them again in the future!”
“Betsy took care of our dog last minute, she is very passionate and professional and well prepared. Fully fenced in yard, toys at the ready, and she walked our dog daily. We received pictures multiple times a day, I felt extremely safe and confident with Penny in her care, we will be booking again!”
“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.”
“Joan has been an absolute angel for our sweet doggie. Jagger has some separation anxiety and nervousness around new people but he took to Joan immediately. Joan has been flexible, understanding, kind, and extremely helpful. The pictures she sends are not only helpful but so fun! She truly has a blast with him and that means the world to us. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone better. We are definitely returning customers!”
“Took fantastic care of our pup and you could tell in the pictures how happy she was. Her pup, Lulu , is as sweet as they come and very playful and tolerant. I will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“Felicia was wonderful with our girl, Josie, we would highly recommend and will take her back on our next trip. When she she moped after we left, Felicia worked with her to make her feel at home. This took a lot of extra time and loving which was freely given. Lots of healthy treats, brushing and long walks got her tail wagging and happy. We got lots of pictures and updates I could see how happy and content Josie was. So leave your furry friend there and know you’ll get care and attention and not have to worry. Her years of experience and compassion shows, this isn’t just a part time job for extra money, she enjoys it!”
“Runy was responsive and reliable when we needed not only a dog sitter for one night, but a manger for our sweet 13yr old boston terrier while she was the flower girl in our wedding ceremony. You can tell she really loves animals and it was easy to trust her with our baby. Thank you, Runy! 🌸”
“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!”
“Nicholas was awesome with Zeus. For the 2-1/2 weeks we were gone he kept us infor.ed and sent pictures frequently. I realized the day after we left that I had missed Zeus' heart worm protection and Nicholas went out of his way to pick up a dose at my vet. We highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely use his services again”
“Sky has been nothing short of a lifesaver for both my dog and I. I needed to find my dog, Brier, a place to stay very unexpectedly and we found Sky who was able to take him in. Then Brier had medical issues which she also had to look after. Brier fully recovered and is most definitely enjoying his stay! We will most definitely be coming back to see Sky!”
“Lori and Jim are so great! I felt very comfortable leaving my 14 year old Pomeranian with them. She was so sweet and sent me photos everyday. Madi had a great time with them. Thank you both!!!”
“Olga boarded Zachary for three days. While there Olga reinforced basic training, including commands. He seems happy and healthy with his visit. We are very pleased and will most certainly use Olga's services again.”
“I recommend her 100%! She took care of Oviler with so much love and passion. Oliver was happy with her and she sent me pictures and updates frequently. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“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.”
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. ❤️🐾

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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,700 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ellenton. About 91% 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 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.
