“Stephanie and Elisabeth were awesome. They sent to us news and pictures each and every day. They took care of our fur baby like pros ! We will certainly return back to them for our next vacation.”
“Ali was very friendly and flexible when we were not sure at what time we would coming back. I loved that she kept me informed and sent pics every day. I would definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“I am so grateful to have Eve caring for my dog! Bruce is very wary of new people but Eve is consistently patient and welcoming until he gives in and snuggles up to her. :) I know Eve will keep him safe and well-cared for. She is reliable, friendly, takes one dog at a time and works at home, so your dog will have company when they want it.”
“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Elisa was wonderful with Ollie! This was our first time leaving him with her, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that he was in great hands. She was very caring, took him on walks, and sent us pictures throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Ollie was safe, happy, and well cared for. We had a great first experience with Elisa and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
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!

I'd love to meet you and your pup soon! 🐶🐾 The dogs and I will spend our days outside enjoying my fully fenced backyard, where they’ll have plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the sunshine. 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. ❤️🐾
“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!”
“Donna and Michael are a blessing for our family! We have never left our beloved lab anywhere before, we wouldn’t board her and have declined trips or long days away from home due to lack of sitters for her. We just picked Jazz up from a 3 day stay, jazz was happy and was very well cared for. Donna and Michael are like sending your fur baby to the grandparents house, we are very glad we found them! ??”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”
“I needed a sitter on short notice and Kym and Glen were happy to help. Their backyard is amazing and was a perfect place for Olive and the other pups to play. Olive immediately warmed up to Glen when I dropped her off, and I swear she seemed like she didn’t want to leave when I came to get her!! She came home with a new bandana and some cookies, which was such an unexpected and sweet gesture. I will definitely be using Kym and Glen again in the future!!”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Longboat Key on Rover is $52.96 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 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 September 2026, there are 1,637 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.
