“Angela took care of Lucky on very short notice and I’m so grateful she was able to help. She sent pictures and updates, made sure he was fed, and got him out for walks. Communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear Lucky was in good hands. I’d absolutely book with Angela again!”
“Brittany and her family were great! Luna loved being there as she got to play with the boys and Mia. She had lots of walks and plenty of time playing fetch, her favorite game. We know this because Brittany kept us up to date with lots of photos and videos as well as messages on how it was going. We have found our dog sitter for life! Thanks you Brittany!”
“Seriously the BEST! Communication is everything when you are away from your furry loved one. Monica is seriously the best at making sure you are informed the entire time. I received so many photo updates! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my Harlow would react accordingly. All went well and we decided to go ahead and book! Monica sure does have the set up! A guest room just for your furry pet and couch dedicated just for the doggies! Did I mention how clean she keeps everything? SUPERB. A key feature was the dog run on the side of her house which our Harlow loved while visiting. Monica will be our go to dog sitter from here on out. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Harlow.”
“Marcela is very personable and you can tell she loves animals. Her property is a perfect place to accommodate larger dogs with all the running space and security. Communication was very good. Would ask her again when in the area.”
“Floyd and his wife did an absolutely amazing job dog sitting for us. This is our first time using Rover.com. The software and process was easy. Floyd sent us pictures nearly every day and kept us posted on our pups. It made our vacation very relaxing knowing our pups were in good hands.”
“Robin P was the best person I could’ve chosen to watch my dog Spencer. Spencer loved being with her and she sent me videos and text daily to let me know how Spencer was doing! She treated Spencer like it was her own dog, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Spencer for us while we were out of town! We have actually booked her again for the beginning of the year when we go on a cruise! Thank you Robin for doing such a great job with our fur baby!!”
“Viviana was a great sitter for Comet who is a senior dog and needs medication. She sent us many pictures and we could tell he was relaxed and being well taken care of. We will definitely use Viviana in the future and recommend her to take care of your dog.”
“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.”
“Shelley is the BEST! Our Mazzee is well taken care off and loved. Shelley does a great job of sending photos and updates. We've used Shelley on a couple of occasions and have been pleased each time. Thanks Shelley for loving our Mazzee🩷”
“We only bring Gus to Taylor! She’s attentive, sends updates every few hours, and truly cares for Gus. I feel like he has a second home with Taylor and her kiddos. Thank you for another wonderful week for our pup!”
“We had a really great experience with her this weekend! She took wonderful care of our dogs, and they seemed very happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got back. It was clear they were in good hands. Communication was smooth overall. We’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“Emily, Aaron, their two boys, and their little Yorkie were super to deal with. They have a wonderful home, and yard, set up very nicely for my dog Snoogums to visit. I felt very comfortable with the arrangement. They sent me photos throughout the stay, with my dog playing, going on walks, sleeping. and playing. I felt comfort while on my trip with their communications. I would definitely repeat with them while away on my next trip. A definite A+ Dale & Snoogums”
“Mike took good care of our Jackson and furnished photos update throughout his boarding stay. Thanks so much, Mike, for hosting our boy. We would use Mike again for any future needs for dog care.”
“Shawna is an excellent sitter . I never wondered what Lucki was doing because she always had me updated. She was a big yard for the dogs. I would leave Lucki with her anytime I needed it sitter”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer Watching our 2 senior dogs. I received lots of photos and a video of them. They seemed so content. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone needing to board their pets with her!!”
“After our meet and greet, where my Lucy was greeted by Erica'sweet little dog, she walked right up to the house.The first day of her stay and made herself right at home. Erica sent me lots of pictures. And I knew Lucy was getting all the snuggles, she needed. I will call erica 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Punta Gorda on Rover is $43.29 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 651 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 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 Punta Gorda 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 Punta Gorda 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 Punta Gorda 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 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 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.
