“I couldn’t say enough about how amazing Ashlee is!!!! We have been bringing our golden retriever to Ashlee for doggy daycare and overnights since she was a puppy. It’s such a blessing to have a trustworthy and fun place send her to. Not only is Ashlee’s house safe, but it also allows her to have socialization and play time that is perfect for her high energy! We are forever grateful to have found Ashlee!”
“Another dog sitting session and another very happy dog. Every time we arrive at Dana’s place, Molly, my dog knows exactly where she is and starts acting very happy and is always so excited to see Dana and always so sad to leave. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. 5 out of 5 stars”
“Xiao was a great sitter. We needed a last minute boarding and she answered fast and was ready for drop off ASAP. She sent pictures and videos the whole time and our dog had a great visit. You can tell she is a big animal lover! We will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com. We had a great experience with Cassandra. She took great care of Cooper and was able to accommodate a last minute travel delay that extended our dog's stay.

My dog was happy in Karen home when I returned . Big thanks !”

“Outstanding and excellent care. We’ve only had our rescue dog from Mexico for a few months, so we’re concerned how she would handle a 13-day stay at Jackie and Russ’. We planned this cruise two years ago so couldn’t cancel. She had a great visit! The care given was loving, caring and optimized making sure our dog overcame her fears and anxiety of being left for so long. Our dog came home calm and happy and looked great. Can’t say enough about the terrific care our dog received. ThNk you, thank you, thank you!”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while she was on her cycle, and I couldn’t have asked for someone more caring and loving. She was so kind, attentive, and gentle with her, making sure she felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. I’m truly grateful for the love and attention she showed my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to watch her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”

Highly recommend!”
“Tracy took amazing care of my dog for a couple of weeks and went above and beyond throughout his stay. She was reliable, attentive, and treated my dog like one of her own. She also shared regular photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease since it was the first time I had left him for an extended period. I would absolutely book Tracy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter who truly shows love and compassion for the dogs in her care.”
“It was our first time using Natasha and Gaspare to board our miniature Daschund and it was a wonderful experience. They kept me updated every evening with news of Lady and with pictures which was great. They even bathed her for me before picking her up. I feel comfortable in recommending them and plan to use them again going forward.”
“We booked Laura short notice, and she was awesome! It’s the first time we’d left our dog with someone that wasn’t a close friend, so we were really nervous about it, but it turned out great!

Eric was amazing! He opened up his home to Oscar and he immediately became part of his family. Eric was very attentive, always gave updates and photos to ensure that we knew our pup was in great hands. Oscar had a lot of fun and, looked like, so did Eric and his pup :). Will definitely use him in the future.
Muy agradecida con Solange. Fue una verdadera bendicion para mi Asher, realmente me lo cuido mucho, me mantuvo alntanto de el me mandaba, varios videos y fotos en el dia. Que me aseguraba que estaba bien y feliz mientras estaba de viaje. Le dio mucho amor. Y mi bebe pudo socializar tambien con los demas perritos de su guarderia todo en perfecta paz y armoria. Por seguro cuando vuelva a necesitar cuidado para mi Asher usare sus servicios nuevamente. Gracias por todo Solange.
Drew was amazing with Sloane! He has such a great sense of humor — he even told us she was out in the backyard doing her little “zoomies” because she was so happy. That cracked us up and honestly told me everything I needed to know about how much she liked him. He treated her like family, even letting her sleep with him, which made her feel right at home. We came back to a relaxed, happy girl. Highly recommend Drew — Sloane will definitely be visiting him again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Estero is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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.
As of November 2026, there are 758 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Estero. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Estero 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 Estero 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 Estero.
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 Estero. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Estero 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.
