“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was so good with my Peanut!! i am new to the area and was worried using rover but Jennifer did a fantastic job with Peanut. He was a happy boy!!! she was prompt with her responses and communicative in general. It made my trip away easier knowing Peanut was in good hands with Jennifer. Will be booking her again!”
“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
“So glad we met Taylor! Leaving our little girl Soleil with her felt like leaving her with a sweet friend. I knew she was in good hands surrounded by love. It was great to receive regular updates while we were away to keep our minds at ease. Thank you for your help Taylor!”
“Monica is a professional and knows animals (dogs) well. Her home is set up impeccable; she considers how to make your babies as comfortable as possible. Indulging there needs to truly make them feel at home. She even put this Dog Mom's nerves at ease by sending updates and photos throughout their stay. I'm definitely booking with Monica again hands down.”
“We left our 4 month old puppy for the very 1st time. Jeny took such good care of Piper! We got videos, pictures and daily updates. It was so hard to leave our puppy but Jeny was amazing with her!! Highly recommend!”
About: Your dog will enjoy every minute of their vacation at our home!!!! We always enjoy meeting new friends and introducing them to our chocolate labs. I am retired and would love to spend my days with your fur babies. I love animals and especially dogs. My heart aches that they live such a short life. I have a fenced in yard with a doggie door going out into our backyard. Our 2 chocolate labs would love to entertain your baby!!! I can also crate your dog if you prefer. We live on a quiet culdesac which is ideal for dog walking.
“Floyd & Connie are perfect Rover hosts to our dog Hank. We always feel confident Hank is well cared for and loved while he is there. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best care!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention our little dachshund was given during her stay with Ana. Every day Ana sent an update with pictures. I would highly recommend Ana to care for your pet.”
“We Love Shelley! Our dogs were at home and not stressed out in her pet-friendly home and fenced in yard. We never once worried about our pups as we were away from them for 10 days. Over the decades we’ve boarded at many kennels, with a variety of disappointments from dogs losing a tenth of their body weight to infections and avoidable injuries. Now that we’ve discovered Rover and Shelley, future trips and vacations will be easier and less dreaded! Shelley is truly a pet person, with lots of love to give. We’re extremely thankful for her.”
“Aliyana was absolutely amazing with my boy Kenai super attentive towards him and he had friends there too with her animals. She also sends pictures and videos throughout the day so your always in the loop of things. She took him out to play and on multiple walks and treats. I know this says five stars but she deserves more 100/100 Ladies and Gentlemen your pets deserve someone amazing and she is all that and some. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy. This is now our go to pet sitter”
“Dana was wonderful from the very start! Very quick and thorough with communication and I immediately knew that she would treat our boy like he was one of her own. Dana was eager to learn all about my dog and she has great knowledge and instincts about how to care for pets. She also sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was awesome! When we came to pick him up, I could tell that he had already bonded with Dana and really thrived in the environment. We are so happy we found Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Connie was so wonderful with Zoey! I,loved getting daily pic of my very happy pup and would highly recommend. Connie’s warmth and caring came across right away and she really inspired my confidence before I left.”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, Patton. He can be shy and sensitive at first, and she was very patient with him, gave him space, and let him warm up at his own pace. She followed his routine, kept us updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was eating, drinking, going potty, and comfortable. She also understood his needs around other dogs and made sure he had his own space when needed. We were traveling overseas, and her clear communication gave us real peace of mind. We are very grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with Patton again.”
“Peggy went over and above to make sure our dog was comfortable, entertained, exercised and loved. She sent us frequent updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our fur baby was so well cared for. We will definitely book again with Peggy in the future. I highly recommend!!!”

About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Port Charlotte is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Charlotte
Jeny took such great care of our pup! We brought our dog on vacation but spent a couple days away where we couldnt bring her. Jeny sent lots of photos to keep us updated. We could see our girl was having a great time and was well cared for. Would book again if traveling to this area in the future!
Our dog Luna loves to go to see Britney’s family! While she was excited to see us, as we drove away from Britney’s house, Luna stared out the back window as we got farther away. I think it was a bittersweet moment for her. I told her to not worry. She will be back again as we won’t have anyone else watch her while we are away! We are so fortunate to have selected the best sitter with our first selection from Rover.
Aliyana was absolutely amazing with my boy Kenai super attentive towards him and he had friends there too with her animals. She also sends pictures and videos throughout the day so your always in the loop of things. She took him out to play and on multiple walks and treats.

Taylor was absolutely amazing! She knows dogs well and is super friendly and compassionate. I trusted her completely with my 3 fur babies while I flew home for the holidays. She even gave them all stockings with a toy, treat and blanket in them😊 So sweet! She kept me updated always with texts and pictures and I never was worried my whole trip. Her children are so sweet and loved on my fur kids and I was so glad everyone became good friends. I 100% recommend booking with Taylor if you are in need of fantastic sitter in Port Charlotte!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Charlotte on Rover is $37.45 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 592 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Charlotte. 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 Port Charlotte 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 Port Charlotte 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 Port Charlotte 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 Port Charlotte.
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 Port Charlotte 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.
