“They took care of our Ginger really well! Mason and Kassandra updates us every now and then and makes sure to bring Ginger in the park to have fun. Ginger will definitely come back.”
“Took great care of our little girls, Sophie had a great time, ginger was suffering from separation anxiety but still was treated great, we got lots of pictures and updates. Definitely book again if we need to go out of town, or for pet walks.”
“I feel so relieved knowing that Ellie gets cared for just like a member of the family by Sarah! She comes home tired and happy after staying there! Highly recommend.”
“Chris is the star. Thank you so much. Our 2 dogs had a great time with him. Chris updates us daily. Our dogs enjoyed their stay with you. Your place is very homey for them, they are used to play in our backyard and they enjoyed your backyard so much. The walks are enjoyable for them. Chris paid attention to my dogs with much care. Buu has anxiety issues with thunders and loud sound, and you and your wife comforted him well. Bucky on the other hand wanted all the attention and I am sure he is so happy to get it from you. Chris made our dogs’ experience enjoyable and gave me peace of mind that they are well taken care of. They were clean and so calm in the car when I took them home. I highly recommend Chris for anybody looking for someone to care for their pets when going on vacation.”
“Very nice and attentive. My 7 month old Leo was great around her 5 year old and other friendly pets. I’d highly recommend and would love to have him come over again!”
“Mikalyn and crew did a great job for us....they were warm and welcoming and our two girls seemed to enjoy their stay with them. This was almost a last minute booking and they went above and beyone to assist us. We will be using them again in the future when our needs arise for great sitters for our fur kids. Dominic and Ana”
“Angel was great, he took very good care of Luna and sent us pictures. It was a very last minute booking and he was able to accommodate us and was very responsive. We will definitely be back. When we picked Luna up it was obvious she was well taken care of.”
“Karla and Rey were absolutely fantastic with Eli over the holiday weekend! Eli is a 7-month-old bundle of puppy energy, and they handled him with patience, love, and a great sense of humor. The meet-and-greet beforehand put me totally at ease and made it clear Eli would be in great hands. They kept him happy, active, and well cared for, and it was obvious they truly enjoy what they do. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would happily trust them with Eli again!”
“Maria is the best. She treats our Tucker with affection and he’s very happy when he’s there. Maria does a great job keeping us updated all day long. I highly recommend her.”
“Idalis and her husband are great. My dog seemed to get comfortable right away with them. They took great care of my dog while we were away. We have found our new dog sitter.”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Nicole was fantastic! She provided us with photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly to our messages. I highly recommend booking with Nicole if you need a sitter!”
“Vlasta was great. We set up a meet and greet. Vlasta knew how to approach our dog. She knew how to hold him and the day went off without a hitch. Excellent!!! We will use her again.”
“Thank you Labern for always taking good care of my Soni! I appreciate you being so accommodating to my last minute request! Your home always feels welcoming to me and Soni! Thank you!”
“We were on vacation for 2 and a half weeks- the longest we’ve been away from our dog Pippa. We left her with the best dog sitter Luciana. Her constant updates helped ease my anxiety about leaving our dog. She treated Pippa like her own- included her in car rides, park visits, puppuccino runs, and pet smart trips. She even got her a toy! I left instructions on Pippa’s routine- which she followed to a T. There is no price on having someone who loves and cares for my dog like their own. I am super grateful to have found her. Thank you Luciana, Juan, and Pippa’s new pal Pascal for giving our dog Pippa a home away from home. If you are reading this review because you have doubts, look no further— Luciana is a wonderful human being and a great pet sitter. Luciana’s dog Pascal is a good boy and gave my dog Pippa the best company! Pascal and Pippa did so well together. Pascal is well behaved and it is a testament to how great Luciana is as a pet owner and in turn a great pet sitter. I will definitely entrust my pup with her again! Thank you again for taking great care of our Pippa! ❤️”
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!
“We loved Joel Nd Kandice. We received frequent updates about our Tigger and they were very patient with his anxiety and picky eating habits. I can’t thank them enough for the great care our furry grandpup received. Recommend them greatly”

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.

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, 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 , 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.
