“This was the first time we left Winnie with someone we didn’t know, so I was honestly a little nervous and Winnie was shaking when we dropped her off. Amber was amazing. She sent regular updates and photos, which really helped put us at ease. When we picked Winnie up, she was happy, playful, and clearly well cared for. I would have absolutely zero hesitation booking with Amber again!”

About: I have a dog of my own who I treat like my child, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ We’re a dog-loving household—my parents live with me and absolutely love dogs too! My dad is home full-time, and I’m home most of the time, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My sweet dog is very friendly and loves making new friends, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for playtime and companionship. 🐾 With our fenced yard, plenty of walks, cuddles, playtime, and lots of love, my goal is to make your pup feel like part of our family while they’re here. I’m also happy to follow your pup’s usual routine and accommodate special requests whenever possible. Just let me know what helps your pup feel most comfortable! For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do require a meet & greet before accepting a boarding stay. This gives our dogs a chance to meet and helps make sure they’re comfortable together and a good match. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and getting lots of love. 🐶💕 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine since I have a dog of my own. 🐾 I’m home most of the time, and my dad is home full-time, so there is usually someone around to give the dogs plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Our days include regular walks, time outside in our fenced yard, feeding, playtime, and of course lots of cuddles! Having another pup stay with us fits right into our routine—and my dog is always happy to have a new friend to share his day with. Safety is very important to me, which is why I require a meet & greet before boarding to make sure our dogs get along and everyone feels comfortable. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines or requests whenever possible—just let me know what your pup needs!

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri with a 2 hour break 12-2pm everyday. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I grew up with big dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience pet sitting both during the day and for overnight stays, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes—from small pups to big dogs—as well as cats. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have lots of love, attention, and care to give yours! I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and would love to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I teach at an outdoor school from 8:30–2:30 and am typically home by 3:00 every day, giving me plenty of afternoon and evening availability for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. My schedule is consistent and predictable, so it’s easy for me to build your pet’s routine into my day. I’m also available for overnight care and weekends! I want pets to feel as comfortable and at home with me as possible! I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and downtime, while giving them plenty of love and attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Oliver and Sawyer had a wonderful time staying with Sandy and Lulu. They had such fun playing ball, running in the yard and made a new friend! Sandy is a fantastic care giver and treated our dogs like they were her own. They loved their time with her! Would absolutely recommend and use her again.”

“Callie, her husband, and their two dogs did a great job watching our dog. They were quick to respond to our inquiries, flexible with our schedule, and answered all our questions upfront. Upon arrival, they were quick to show him affection and show him around. While we were gone, they provided notes and photos to let us know he was doing well. When we picked him up, we could tell that he felt loved and comfortable during his stay. If we are back in this area, we would be glad to have them care for our dog again.”

“Came down from Virginia with my wife and our 10 year old English bulldog to stay a couple months for the first time. Within 60 miles of arriving at our condo, we were told we needed to come back to Virginia for family memorial service. Not knowing anyone, we were very fortunate to meet Lioubov T on Rover who took amazing care of our girl while we flew home. We truly appreciate the amazing care she gave our girl. Definitely recommend!”

This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”

About: What makes me different is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines, and I’m comfortable providing plenty of playtime, attention, feeding, walks, and companionship. I’m also patient, dependable, and attentive to details, which helps me notice when something is different with a pet’s behavior or routine. My experience as a Med Tech in an assisted living facility has also taught me responsibility, patience, compassion, and how important it is to follow care instructions carefully. I bring those same qualities to pet sitting. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would give my own pets. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to meet your pet's needs. I'm passionate about animals and am working toward making pet sitting my full-time career, so providing your pets with the best care possible is something I truly care about. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other special care. I’ll also give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respectful. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Diana took a last minute boarding for us as we were in town from Denver but had car troubles and didn’t get to ski as planned. Her taking our reservation made it so we could get a few runs in before we left and still make sure our pup was taken care of! She only had her for a few hours but took her on a walk, let her sun bathe and sent photos throughout her stay. Would book her again next time we’re in big sky!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Longboat Key

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Longboat Key is $100 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $134 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.

There are 1,697 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Longboat Key. About 94% of Longboat Key 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
