“Mason and Kassandra were great, they updated me daily, sent pics, and even gave me some tips and recommendations for my Bingo. I would definitely book with them again.”
“EXCELLENT LOVING CARE!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My 17 year old, special needs, completely blind, silky mix dog, Paisley, who also has dementia, stayed with Ms Annette for 8 days while we were on vacation. We were able to bring Paisley to meet Ms Annette prior to boarding her. Things could not have gone better. Ms. Annette was patient, kind, caring, and gave Paisley time to come to her and be comfortable. Her home was spotless as was the separate grooming / boarding area. Dogs have use of / access to both the boarding and home areas, as well as a spacious, outdoor, shady, grassy backyard area to play. Ms Annette even allows dogs on her couch. Because of her age and special needs status, it became impossible to leave Paisley at a typical kennel as they were unable to provide the specialized care and attention she needed. Ms. Annette was able to provide the specialized care needed, provided a lot of love and belly rubs, and even taught Paisley to use her doggy door!! She kept Paisley under her usual home routine which resulted in a smooth transition home. When going to pick her up, Ms Annette greeted me with Paisley in her arms. Paisley was clean, as were her doggy blanket and bed. During her stay, Ms Annette sent daily updates, photos, and videos, confirming Paisley was adjusting well, had made new friends. Ms Annette is 100% recommended. Great care! Lots of love!! Communicative! Board your pet worry free knowing they’ll be very well cared for with Ms. Annette!”
“Excelente servicio, Bingo ama llegar a casa Estefany, literalmente se olvida que existo. La pasa brutal, y siempre vira feliz y cansado de tanto correr a pesar de que tiene mucha energía. Gracias por siempre estar disponible cuando me ocurren imprevistos, y sobre todo por el trato, fotos y videos todo el momento. 5 o 6 vez que lo cuida y seguirá siendo mi primera opción! DEFINITIVAMENTE RECOMENDADA AL 100%”
“Katie took great care of my Labrador and Dachshund. She kept me updated during the stay, sent me pictures and videos. I also had to extend the stay last minute. I’m thankful for the care and flexibility.”
“Craig has been our go-to pup sitter for almost four years now and our dogs love staying with him. They make wonderful friends, get lots of play and exercise and always come home tired and happy. He and his family are the best sitters we could ask for.”
“Thank you to Annabelle and the rest of her family. You folks gave my dog, Myces, a great home while I was away. I hope it is alright for us to book again in the future!”
“Samantha and her family were AMAZING with my high strung, loving dog Dallas. They were sending me pictures and updates throughout the day making sure I was kept informed and didn’t miss her too much while I was out of town. She had plenty of four legged friends as well as two legged friends to play with all weekend and even came home with a few new toys.”
“I am very happy about leaving my dog with Patricia. Lola was very happy and well cared for. I will choose Patricia again next time I have to leave Lola. I was updated every day with photos or videos of Lola.”
“We are extremely happy with the care our dogs received at Karla and Rey’s! We got daily updates with lots of pictures and my pups always looked like they were having a great time. Karla’s communication is top tier and she gave me so much peace of mind leaving Jax and Lulu for 11 days. We will absolutely be booking again and would highly recommend them!”
“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“This is the second time that Brittany has watched our 4 dogs for us and has been amazing both times! She sent lots of updates throughout their stay. The second time when they walked in they felt like they were at home. Having 4 dogs it’s hard to find someone trustworthy to watch your babies but I have no worries when I leave them with Brittany. They are always well cared for and loved like they were her own. She is definitely our go to sitter!”
“Aspen had an amazing time during his first stay. We got photos and prompt conversations and updates with plenty details about his day. Happy pup, happy dog mom!”
“My senior dog and young cat were very well taken care of. Received daily pictures and updates. Was allowed to bring my cat’s kitty condo because that is where she feels safe. She gave my dog’s pills as prescribed. Highly recommend. They had a 9 day stay.”
About: I can't remember a time that we haven't had at least one fur baby running around the house, so I've been helping care for them for most of my life. I usually work 3-4 days a week, but if I'm not home, my husband is, and he loves caring for fur babies just as much as I do! We have three fur babies of our own: 2 pups and a cat. Our dogs are both around 3 years old- one is a blue heeler mix and the other is a boxer mix, and they both love making friends! The cat doesn't care as much, but he has his own space. I'm a human nurse, so I'm comfortable with medications and medical conditions, I just request you let me know if your fur babies has any medical needs! My husband and I both help take care of fur babies, so one of us is almost always home to be able to care for your kiddo(s). I am more than willing to abide by any rules you, as the owner, set forth. I'm happy to have you approve (or disapprove) any treats that may be available for your fur baby, as they are your child and must follow your rules as well. I would just like to know any dietary restrictions, special needs, and/ or attitudes towards strangers/ other animals. I want to make sure that your pup has an enjoyable time!
“My pup Obi had a fantastic time staying with Elyse and her husband! He enjoyed a lot of snuggle time and was spoiled with attention and trips to the dog park. Highly recommend them if you need to board your dog.”
“By far one of the best exp I’ve had with this app. Angelica took great care of my fur baby, so much she didn’t want to leave 😂 would highly recommend using Angelica.”
“Sasha had a great time with Heather and her sweet pup. I felt like she was taken care of really well and had no concerns while I was gone. I love that she has 4 kids that play with my dog while I’m gone. Heather was also very flexible and understanding when I had to bring her a day early. I would definitely use Heather again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Polk City is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $49 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 1,729 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Polk City. 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 Polk City 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 Polk City 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 Polk City.
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 Polk City 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.
