“Angela was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute when we discovered our cat couldn't stay with us at our Airbnb. She kept us updated every single day with sweet notes and photos of our cat, Marbles. She and her young daughter took such wonderful care of him, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely be using her services again whenever I need a competent, caring, and reliable sitter! 5/5 stars!”
“Shawna and her family were so great with Fusilli! We will definitely be bringing our dog back again! They have tons of space for your family pet to run around and have a great time!”
“Very happy that we found Teri to watch our Oliver. He was well taken care of and loved. She has a wonderful home for the dogs to feel comfortable in with access to a fenced backyard. She was attentive to Oliver and his sensitivity to thunder and lightening. Would highly recommend Teri and her services. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Monica is such a caring, loving sitter! Max has stayed with her twice now while I have been out of town and it is always such peace of mind that I know my sensitive little Cavalier will get the TLC he needs.”
“Shelley is amazing. Shelley sent pictures everyday of my buddies and updated me throughout their stay with her. I absolutely will use Shelley again and recommend her to everyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Ana is a lovely person. After meeting with her we felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Her home is clean and dog friendly! She has a nice back yard as well. We really appreciated the open communication and treasured update photos of our pet. We would recommend Ana to anyone.”

“Out English bulldog was well taken care of by Barbara. We will continue to use her services each time we need her. She is SO great at communicating and sends us videos and pics every day. I highly recommend to everyone!”
“Puedes escribirlo de una manera más natural y profesional en inglés: She was very kind, caring, and communicative. She paid close attention to Nala’s needs and kept us informed, which gave us great peace of mind. We were extremely satisfied with her service and would definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Bob helped me, my husband, and our puppies through a difficult time in all of our lives. He was very friendly, kind, and compassionate, and reassuring, despite some miscommunication. I am grateful for how well he cared for my puppies and the positive impact he made on all of our lives. Thank you, Bob ?”
“Thanks for taking such good care of my old boy, AJ! I was confident he was in good hands during the stay. Thank you for sending pictures to update us. It sure helped set my mind at ease. We will definitely be re-booking when we return to the area.”
“Overall great experience. Booked very last minute and she accommodated. Very easy to talk too, and took photos and videos. Only issue is our dog wore his harness an extended amount of time and he bite through it in multiple places. I will now have to buy a new one. Other than that I plan to book her in the future again. 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Punta Gorda
I met Ellen here and inquired with her about watching my sweet girl, Maizy, in her home while we traveled. She responded immediately and we set up a time to meet. She was very easy for both Maizy and I to get along with and her home was clean and practical for her to be pet sitting. We officially booked, and upon dropping Maizy off, we met her husband and their pup, Salty. It was a very pleasant encounter. While away, Ellen kept in touch with updates and photos. After traveling, she and her husband confirmed that Maizy is sweet, well behaved, and was a joy to have around. I will be booking with Ellen again, and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for your pup too. Thank you, Ellen!
We were so lucky to have Adani care for our girl while we were away. She sent pictures and a video along with feedback about how she was doing. She gave her attention, cuddled with her and let her try some of her dogs food toppers, which Verrin LOVED! She even taught her a new trick! You can tell that Adani loves dogs and has a wealth of knowledge to care for them. We will definitely be using Adani again if she is available when we need a sitter for our girl.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Punta Gorda is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $72 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 of October 2026, there are 664 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Punta Gorda. 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 Punta Gorda 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 Punta Gorda 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 Punta Gorda.
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 Punta Gorda 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.
