“This is Doris's 4th stay with Miss Kathy and it sure won't be the last! We love Kathy so much! Doris has the best time, gets to sleep on the big bed and even got to dress up for Halloween. It's so nice for her to get some play time with their dog Mollie and any others that may be there at the same time since she's an 'only dog'. i would highly recommend Kathy over and over again!”
“Barb & her husband do an excellent job taking care of Ruby. She sends several videos & pictures. Ruby had so much fun she didn’t want to come home! Highly recommend!!🥰. Thank you!!”
“Bob I s definitely a dog lover. We met his sweet dogs and felt instantly comfortable with him caring for our golden doodle. We were happy that he cheated in with us the next day to tell us she was doing fine. We will be happy to use him again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
About: Hi - my name is VJ (though my legal/account name is Virgil). Over the past 20 years, I have always had dogs and cherished their company. I started with a chocolate lab and one year later added a rescued Shih Tzu. They were together for 12 years and were amazing together. Sadly, when my lab passed, my Shih Tzu struggled so I rescued a King Charles from a horrible back yard breeder program. They were together for 6 years until my Shih Tzu passed. Just recently, I lost my King Charles and for the first time in a long time my home is without any dogs. I’m heartbroken - but I’m not ready to get another dog just yet. I’d like to fill that void by helping others with their dogs when they travel. I know from experience how hard it is to find a trustworthy sitter when you travel. With my 3 dogs, I’ve experienced every level associated with various dog ages - from young and energetic to older and failing health (sadly). Personally, I’m basically semi-retired. When I do work, I work from home managing my various investments. So I’m always home and here for them at anytime. With my dogs, I always would go for exploratory hikes/walks through various preserves near me in both the AM and PM - to get their exercise and “sniffs”. If your dog enjoys that, I would do the same! I live in a gated community on a quiet street. I do have a pool - but have protective mesh fence if it needs to be installed. I prefer to allow the dogs full reign of the house - but if you prefer them to be crated that is fine as well. Basically, I’ve been through it all with my 3 dogs and feel extremely confident that your dog would have an amazing experience here while you travel. I also have a close relationship with a vet near me (or can use your vet if they are also nearby). I’m basically semi-retired, so I’m home full-time to take care of your dog(s). If they’re capable, I do enjoy taking them for walks/hikes through various preserves near my home in both the AM and PM. And being here basically all of the time, I’m used to always letting them out front for a potty break every few hours. In the evenings, they’re more than welcome to cuddle on the sofa or in their bed as we watch TV together. I’ll treat them like my own - and they’ll Be in amazing hands. I prefer to allow them full access to the house - but obviously any conditions you would want regarding their care would be recognized.
“Where do I begin? Natalie has been so wonderful, in the past and for this most recent stay (8 nights). We received photos, a video montage/slide show, and the most adorable full sheet of little stories about what Poppi did, didn’t do, and other fun things. Natalie was very flexible, both our departure and return times changed, and she was very agreeable to the changes- and happily accommodated said changes. Natalie’s daughter totally embraced Poppi’s loving nature (I.e. lots of licky kisses!) which was above and beyond. I hate to provide such a glowing review because I’d selfishly like to keep her all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair! All dogs deserve to be loved and cared for as my Poppi has been. Thank you Natalie (and family)!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She knows dogs well and is super friendly and compassionate. I trusted her completely with my 3 fur babies while I flew home for the holidays. She even gave them all stockings with a toy, treat and blanket in them😊 So sweet! She kept me updated always with texts and pictures and I never was worried my whole trip. Her children are so sweet and loved on my fur kids and I was so glad everyone became good friends. I 100% recommend booking with Taylor if you are in need of fantastic sitter in Port Charlotte!”
“We highly recommend Robin as she is professional and trust worthy in all aspects. We arraigned a in home meet and greet prior to our pets stay and we all connected very well. She accepts only one client at a time and her property was clean and perfect for our pet. While we were away, Robin took the initiative of staying in touch with us daily by sending us pictures of our pet. We are pleased to know we found such a trustworthy person in our area for all our dog sitting needs.”
“Haley has been my constant companion since my husband died. She is getting old and is anxious around other dogs so I needed a pet sitter without other dogs or young kids. Ray and his son took great care of Haley, sent me daily texts and photos, took her for walks and rides and I think that she enjoyed staying with them. I will definetely board Haley with Ray again.”
“This is the second time using Jennifers services. My dogs are very weary of personnel they have never met. My dogs to Jennifer from the first time meeting her. Jennifer is very gentle and loving with my dogs. The dogs actually get very excited when we are in route to dropping them off. Jennifer is very responsive to any text or emails that are sent. I would highly recommend Jennifers services.”
“We are a repeat customer with Claudia. She is so kind and it is clear that she loves dogs. She sends pictures/videos which we love to see! We really appreciate the time she spends making our Archie comfortable and safe while we are away! Thank you! The Hadden’s”
“We left our pug with Morgan for 8 days. Morgan is friendly and kind. She sent pictures of our dog and kept us informed about how she was doing. When we picked her up, she was happy and healthy. Thank you, Morgan!”
“I am a first time Rover user and booked Kelly for our 11 year old hound mix, Bruno. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures. He did great and I am happy to use Kelly for our future trips.”
“We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!”
“I can't express how happy we are with Paige's care for our fur baby, Mochi. She kept us updated and shared how much fun he was having. It is so comforting to know that Mochi got to stay with someone that snuggled and loved him. We will be returning to Paige in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else considering! Thank you so much Paige! <3”
About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Englewood is $48

Thank Kristen for taking such wonderful care of Mary. I could tell she was happy and well cared for during her stay with you and Mei. I love that you had a large fenced yard for her to run and taught her how to use a doggie door. I really appreciated your excellent communication with all the updates, photos and videos. I can tell she had a great time and wasn't even in any rush to leave. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a sitter.
Linda and her family always go above and beyond in caring for our sweet Duke. They make him part of their family and we never have to worry about him when we are away. We know he gets the best care and Linda always keeps us posted with photos and videos so we know he's happy and doing well. Thank you for all you do!!!
Glenda and Greg are amazing dog sitters! They took care of Wilson, four nights five days and our experience was excellent! They sent pictures of Wilson playing with their dog and the puppy. They sent me updates of how things were going and are very responsible with, feeding vitamins walks bedtime routine -all of it! Oh and their set up is ideal because they not only have a pool inside of the lanai, but also a fenced in yard where they can also run and play. Wilson loves to go to Glenda and Greg‘s.. They create the best home away from home.🐾

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Englewood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Englewood 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 Englewood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Englewood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Englewood 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
