“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!”
“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Monica! I have tried numerous sitters in the area from Sarasota to North Port, and she has been the best by far! She went the extra mile with my dogs, Riley and Bo. I felt more than comfortable and at ease knowing they were in her care while I was away. You can’t go wrong with booking with Monica!”

“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!”
“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.”
“I felt total confidence in Ana the minute I met her when we did the first "meet & greet". Her house is secure and doggie proofed. My dog loved being there, I can tell because of the photos she send a couple times a day, everyday. He seemed very content and relaxed. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great, communicative, caring dog sitter.”
“Viviana and her husband were great with our little Milo; I wasn't sure that he wanted to leave when we picked him up. Viviana sent pictures and was very communicative during Milo's stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will leave Milo with her again if the opportunity arises.”
“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.”

“Diana provided very good care of our Aussiedoodle for 13 days. Videos of walks were sent to us while we were out of town, along with Diana's updates. As we were driving to pick up our doggie, we could see him in the driveway (on a leash of course) wagging his tail. He was so happy playing with Diana's teenage son. We are very pleased with Diana's service, and we will definitely use her boarding service when needed in the future.”

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 on Rover is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $72 per night. 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.

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.
97% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
