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!!! 🐾💖

Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.

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.

Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)

Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩

Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !

Rebel had a good time and enjoyed having other dogs around him. We usually like to see where our dog sleeps, eats, and plays, but were not allowed inside the sitters home. This was a little disappointing to us but we do understand that it may be disruptive to the other dogs. For that reason, we cannot accurately rate the home environment. We truly appreciate Hope taking care of Rebel while we were away.

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!

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. ❤️🐾

Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊

Olga boarded Zachary for three weeks while we were on vacation. During that time, Zachary was treated like a member of her loving family. Olga sent regular videos and pictures of Zachary playing tag with her dog, along with a cute picture of him with her cat. When we returned, Zachary was well fed, happy, and healthy. Olga did some training during his stay with her and gave him a bath and a comb-out. I have no hesitation in recommending Olga for training or boarding. She is excellent!

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!!

FAQs for Boarding - Palmetto

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Palmetto on Rover is $29.96 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 2,589 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.
