“Linda and Brian have the sweetest dog and my dog just loved them all. He normally is very anxious but he even fell asleep beside Brian and his cute new friend Carmi! I would highly recommend this place!”
“A+++++++ Excellent job communicating and watching zuzu for me! Gave me updates when I needed them and really helped make me feel relaxed while being out of the country. Will definitely consider them again for boarding needs 🙂🙂🙂🙂”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“THE BEST! Lisbeth took the best care of my old man. 15year old Jake (cat) takes medicine twice a day. Lisbeth's Vet Tech skills were why I chose her, but there were even more things that made us glad Jake was in her hands. It was a last minute booking, and then we requested to come later. She was kind and accommodating throughout the hosting, including letting us come early to pick him up. Lisbeth responded quickly to every text, and she was always cheerful. She sent me a picture of my Jakey-Boy so I could see he was content. He had never been boarded ever, so I had worries, that were needless. If you are deciding who to choose to take care of your fur baby, look no further. You have found the best choice!”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth are amazing, they sent me lots of pictures and Toby always looked so happy which made me happy. They gave me updates and lots of pictures. Thank you so much 😊. I will definitely use them always. 💖”
“Jessica was a caring and attentive host. She always responded quickly to check-ins, and she sent pics once of twice daily. Taylor was well taken care of during his 4 night stay!”
“Our little dog, Miss JJ had a wonderful time with Nancy! Nancy sent us photos and emails during our travels, and we loved hearing from her. We would absolutely use her again!”
“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!”
“Janette and Allyson are wonderful hosts. Their home is warm and welcoming, Allyson was fantastic at sending us photos and updates. I highly recommend them, to take care of your fur babies. Ruby our golden doodle loved her stay, she was right at home immediately. I so glad we found these wonderful pet sitters to look after her while we are away.”
“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“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.”
“Awesome experience for Bentley and us! Frances texted us daily and sent us pictures of our little dog. Her home was warm and inviting and she had a huge, fenced in backyard for Bentley to play in. We will most definitely use her in the future!”
“Beth was amazing. Our small dog can be nervous around new people but she did really well with Beth. Beth was very attentive to our dog and very communicative with us. Everything went smoothly…. Zero problems. We would highly recommend her and will plan to use her again!”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“I had a miscommunication with our usual sitter about my reservation, and he recommended Dr. Hope to cover the stay. She enthusiastically accepted our last minute reservation! I was so happy that she was available and took such great care of my dog. Lots of updates and pictures, and all of my senior dog's needs were met. I recommend Dr. Hope and will probably reserve with her again in the future!”
“My dog had only stayed with my FIL when we went away but he passed away this year and we were stressed not knowing who to leave him with. We interviewed multiple people and chose Lexi and her sweet family. She was so great at keeping in touch throughout our 2 week trip. He was so well taken care of and they went up and beyond to accommodate our schedule when we had traveling issues. Im certain he cant wait for our next adventure away where he can go stay and play. Lexi and her family are the best and we are thankful to have found them :)”

Janette and Allyson are wonderful hosts. Their home is warm and welcoming, Allyson was fantastic at sending us photos and updates. I highly recommend them, to take care of your fur babies. Ruby our golden doodle loved her stay, she was right at home immediately. I so glad we found these wonderful pet sitters to look after her while we are away.
As usual, Gabrielle is perfect for our Scout! She loves him, cares for him, and makes him a very happy hoy! Her communication is top notch with many updates throughout the day, written, pictures, and videos. This time, Scout was pining after her as we were driving away. A sign of a true bond! 🥰
I wish I would have found Charlie and Lisa sooner. I felt comfortable with them the first time we met and RD made himself right at home at the meet and greet. They were very attentive to him and his needs. Sending pictures and updates made me feel at ease because it was the first time I left him with strangers and I could tell he felt right at home. I will definitely use Charlie and Lisa again and I would not hesitate to recommend them highly to anyone who wants their fur baby in good hands and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed!!
Adelyn was nothing short of amazing! Had to book a sitter last minute for an emergency vacation and Adelyn was very understanding and accommodating throughout the stay. She went above and beyond and truly cared for him as if he was her own. Updated me with plenty of pics and videos, and at peace with my pet in a time of chaos. Thankful to have found her and have a sitter for the future that’ll provide excellent care!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Palmetto on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,563 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Palmetto. 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 Palmetto 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 Palmetto 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 Palmetto 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 Palmetto.
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 Palmetto 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.
