“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've had in my life. A true gem. Her communications are timely and clear. If I could higher rating i would but there wouldn't be enough room on the rating sheet to hold all the stars she's earned..”
“First time using Stephanie and Elizabeth. They were referred to us and we are so grateful. The pictures and updates really helped to know that our pup was cared for like family.”
“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.”
“Lisbeth is an incredible person. She took care of our kittens, Robin and Amarillo, for 5 days, and we had to extend for one more day with absolutely no problem at all. She sent us photos every day and kept us updated about them, which we are truly grateful for because, despite the distance, we always knew how the kittens were doing. Truly, she has all the qualities needed for your pets to have an excellent stay with her. Throughout our entire trip, we had peace of mind knowing they were perfectly cared for with Lisbeth. Thank you for your love, dedication, and affection for animals!!! 🐾💖”
“I think Sammie will hope we go on vacation more often! He was so well taken care of- I felt he was treated like part of the family. Plus, he had the bonus of a playmate to spend his days with. It certainly made our time away more enjoyable, since we didn't worry about him. Thank you so much for the great attention and care. We will absolutely request you again!”
“Elisa was wonderful! Astro loves her! She sent me updates and pictures from their activities. When I went to pick Astro up he walked around the house as of it was his home. Elisa has an amazing love for dogs and treats them with such great care. I travel a lot and will be using Elisa's services on a regular basis.”
“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“Eve was such a wonderful sitter! Our girl ended up not feeling well for a portion of her stay (through no fault of Eve's), and Eve took such good care of her and was so communicative with us while we were out of town. We are so grateful to Eve and won't hesitate to contact 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.”
“Beth was amazing. We have probably never felt at such ease when leaving our puppies behind when we travel. She updated us daily and sent pics of them having the time of their life. Highly recommend and will use Beth again when we travel. 🐶💯”
“This was my second time using Abigail to care for Nina, and once again she did a wonderful job. She is reliable, communicative, and very attentive to Nina’s routine and care needs. I really appreciate the updates she provides and the extra care she takes to make sure Nina is comfortable while I’m away. Nina clearly feels comfortable with her, which means a lot to me. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Nina is in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Abigail and will gladly continue using her in the future.”
“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!”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Longboat Key on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,633 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Longboat Key. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Longboat Key sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Longboat Key landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Longboat Key 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 Longboat Key.
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.
You and your Longboat Key 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.
