“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!! :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“Monica is incredible! We were worried about our dog’s resource aggregation around other dogs. Monica made sure all the dogs were safe and even managed to give our dog treats with the other dogs with no incidents. All the pictures she sent showed how happy our Bella was being around other dogs. We are amazed at how great Bella’s stay was with Monica!!!!! We highly recommend her for safe and happy visits or long stays. Bella was there for 11 nights. She was so happy that we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. Thank you Monica for being such a perfect standin Mom to our girl!!!”
“Our dog had a great time! We received pictures and videos everyday and could tell that Einstein was having fun and being treated really well. I will definitely be using them again in the future, and would recommend them to anyone.”
“What an amazing experience! Jennifer was incredibly kind and kept me updated on my baby throughout the entire time. She sent numerous pictures, which reassured me that my baby was doing great. This was the first time I left her for an extended period, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“We highly recommend Robin as she is professional and trust worthy in all aspects. We arraigned a in home meet and greet prior to our pets stay and we all connected very well. She accepts only one client at a time and her property was clean and perfect for our pet. While we were away, Robin took the initiative of staying in touch with us daily by sending us pictures of our pet. We are pleased to know we found such a trustworthy person in our area for all our dog sitting needs.”
“We were comfortable leaving Chesney. She was happy there right away. We appreciated the pictures and updates where Chesney looked happy and not stressed. Summit is wonderful.”
“Highly recommend!! Our pup is FULL of energy and at times doesn’t have his listening ears on :) we are so thankful to be able to leave him with Ms Olga and still enjoy time away with family 💕 thank you !”
“2nd time booking and yoki obviously loves staying here. Minute i dropped him off, he was excited to go in the house. I could see he is well taken care of. Jen is attentive with how my dog is which is I like”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was our first boarding experience with Rover.com. Teri M. was great with our 11 year old Puggle! We never had to worry the whole 11 days we were gone. Thank you Teri! Ranger misses you already... D. L. Wright -”

“Maria was great, and very attentive to my lab Buoy. she watched him for 5 days. She sent me updates frequently with pictures/videos and even let him play in her pool. He had a blast! We will definitely be using her in the future”
“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”

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.
