“What an excellent caregiver Frances is. She is loving and caring. We felt so comfortable leaving Mateo with her. She cared for him like he was her own. She sent an update each day with a picture of Mateo. To us Frances is like a gift from God. Mateo is a rescue and has some special needs that Frances understands and she handled him well. We are so happy we found her and will definitely bring him back whenever we travel!”
“Merve took great care of both of our Maltipoos, including our puppy! She was so attentive and they both came back home exhausted annd happy after playing with Merve’s family and her dog. We would highly recommend Merve to care for your pets!!”
“Jennifer is awesome! Ciccio loves her and so do I leaving him with her gives me great peace of mind that I can enjoy my vacation because I know he is well cared for”
About: I have fostered and helped find homes for close to 50 dogs. I pride myself on understanding their needs. Experienced with puppies to seniors. I am also comfortable giving meds and shots. I have an elderly Aussie “ Matilda” and a young, playful Westie “Millie”. Both are terrific with other dogs. Your best friends will sleep with me if they like, or on a couch or dog bed or wherever they are used to sleeping in your home. If they are playful, I will play with and run them in my backyard. I strive to meet each dogs needs. A happy, stress free stay is my goal. I am a potter and my studio is in my home. Your dog will be with me and my girls, with access to the fenced backyard to play and enjoy themselves under supervision. I have a fenced backyard and your dogs will be supervised while in my care. If they like daily walks then they can have them!
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Cindy and Steve have a genuine love for animals, and it shows in everything they do. Lulu came home calm, happy, and completely herself, which tells me she felt safe and loved the entire time. What impressed me most was the peace of mind they gave me. I never had to wonder how she was doing because I knew she was being treated like part of their family. That kind of trust is priceless. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Lulu with them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care.”
“What a wonderful stay Charlee had with Cherolyn. She spoiled him and took amazing care of him I never worried the second I left him with her for two weeks! Cherolyn is a one of a kind person and we are greatful to have found her on Rover. Thank You Again for everything.”
“Tara and Justin are AMAZING!!!! We recently moved to Sarasota and were worried we wouldn't find anyone to care for our dogs since we don't know anyone in the area. I went on over and found Tara and Justin. They first watched our 2 doodles for an overnight (at my request) to make sure they were a good fit. Everything went great, so we booked them again for a week while we were out of town and they truly treated them as if they were part of their family! They sent us numerous photos (sometimes multiple times a day) of them playing, cuddling on the couch and playing with their 5 yr old son. Tara is super responsive and accommodating as well with pick ups and drop offs. I couldn't have asked for a better home and family to leave my pups with. We have already re-booked for next weekend and will continue to use Tara and Justin! If I could give them 10 starts I would!”
“Thelma is a caring and experienced dog sitter who took excellent care of my dog while I was away. she took walks with my dog and exercised her with ball catching. I was very happy with the care she received.”
“Nathalie was great !!! We loved her !!! My puppy enjoyed her! We definitely recommend Nathalie . Mocha will love to see her and her lovely kids. Thank you Nathalie!! We’re blessed to meet someone like you .”
“Heather took great care of our goldendoodle, Biscuit, who enjoyed her dogs, as well as her pool! Biscuit enjoyed swimming with “Leo” and was happy to be able to sleep with Heather. They took a walk in the neighborhood as well, which is always a good thing for Biscuit. Biscuit came home well exercised, and had some nice long naps. We look forward to booking with Heather again soon!”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“We have a 5 year old French Bulldog named Bella. She needs a little bit of extra care. Her face wrinkles need cleaned and protected daily. She also is on a special diet. Bella recently stayed with Sharon for a week, while we were on vacation. Sharon was recommended by my daughter and son-in-law and did not disappoint! Bella had a lovely time with all the dogs there. She was very well taken care of, Sharon did all the extras and more. Sharon gave us daily updates with a few photos. Sharon is fabulous! We will use her for all of our boarding needs. Alice & Chris Lakewood, Ohio”
“5 stars, the best lovely dog sitter!!! She gave my baby dog a lot of love and attention, my dog just falling in love with her!!! She kept sending me all the pics and videos and to make sure I can see my baby every day, my dog follows her everywhere. There is no words to tell how much we love her!!! Best ever 👍”
“Leslie was a fantastic dog sitter for my 12 pound, 13 year old Malti-Poo! She went above and beyond with him as he is an older dog and needed medications given which she did willingly. She communicated with me quickly and often and sent pictures each evening of my sweet Buddy as he relaxed and played and this level of communication made me feel great about leaving Buddy with a sitter for the first time in his life. In fact, she took such great care of Buddy that he almost didn't want to leave and come home to South Carolina with me. Finally, Leslie's location was ideal and very convenient to Siesta Key and her fenced in big back yard is just what everyone wants for their dog. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Morgan is very sweet and attentive. My dog seemed to enjoy his 2 day stay. A few pics were sent as well as texts so I knew he was in great hands. She has a great backyard and her children also helped to entertain my pet. Definitely recommend Morgan if your dog thrives on being the only pet cared for and being surrounded by a loving family.”
“We were in a bind and Joyce was able to help us out. With her expertise and knowledge about dogs and their different behaviors we were very comfortable leaving our pups with her for 7 days. Thank you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nokomis
I thought when I went to meet Corinna I was going to feel the same as I did the last 4 dog sitters I met. The minute I met her I felt like this is going to be my babies second home. The first feeling I got was a warm loving person. What really told me she was the one that was going to take care of my babies is when my Rosie went right to her. That was so out of character for her. My gut told me this is where I was leaving my dogs and knew I would not worry about them at all. Communication was great while I was away. Everyday I received pictures and videos of them. So if you are looking for a warm loving person to take care of your baby or babies while you are on vacation I would definitely use Corinna without hesitation. I know once you meet her you will feel the same as I did. Thank you again for taking such good care of Rosie and Cici.
I highly recommend Marley to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter . She and her husband recently watched my two miniature poodles and went completely above and beyond. Not only did they care for all of my dogs needs but also kept in contact with pictures, comments and videos. We knew our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. Thank you Marley and Jetze!
Heather took great care of our goldendoodle, Biscuit, who enjoyed her dogs, as well as her pool! Biscuit enjoyed swimming with “Leo” and was happy to be able to sleep with Heather.

We look forward to booking with Heather again soon!
Samantha sent updates once or twice every day, plus several pictures. I always knew exactly how each day had gone. She was very good about taking our energetic little puppy out for sunshine and playtime. She was very sweet and understanding and I highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Nokomis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Nokomis is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 809 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nokomis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Nokomis 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 Nokomis home-away-from-home, 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 Nokomis.
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 Nokomis 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 , 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 .
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.
