“Freddy and Talena took very good care to our sweet Golden retriever Olivia. She had a lot of fun playing with their dog in the yard. We really appreciated all the pictures and videos they sent me every day. We will definitely trust them for another stay.”
“Danielle watched my dog for a couple of nights and made the entire process comfortable for me and him, it was my first time leaving my dog without a family member and I was super nervous, she made sure to always communicate, she sent pictures while I was away and even accommodated him when he wouldn’t eat his food, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter as she took care of him like her own! Thank you Danielle!!”
“So happy that we found Anna! She took exceptional care of our boy while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures to reassure us of how well he was doing. I would definitely recommend her for you pet boarding needs. She will treat them like her own!!”
“Nancy made our little one feel right at home. Her place is quiet and cozy. Since she only sits one dog at a time, we knew our anxious doggo would be perfectly happy staying with her. She sent us pictures and videos of Koah as well which made us feel comfortable leaving him for the long weekend. We will definitely work with Nancy again!”
“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“It was the first time we had to leave the dogs for so long and they were very well cared for. Not once I was worried or concerned about them. I would get pictures, videos and updates on them and they looked like they were living their best lives. They were happy and a dog can’t lie so it says a lot about Andressa and Alex. I’m so glad I found them a good loving place to stay when we are out of town!”
“Mirian did an amazing job taking care of my dog Luna while I was out of the country. She was attentive, reliable, and treated Luna like her own. I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I appreciate the level of care she gave, and I would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care.”
“My Chihuahua has stayed with Ania twice now and she has done an amazing job. I can tell that he is happy and well cared for and Ania responds quickly to messages and sends great photos. Thank you Ania, we appreciate it!”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Katherine is great. I love how attentive and caring she is to our dog. This was our second time that he stayed with them and we plan on scheduling more visits in the future. I highly recommend!!!”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“Allyssa, her husband, and their puppy Ezzy were very friendly and took good care of Dreamsicle (cat) during the 8 night stay. Allyssa provided pictures & updates throughout the whole stay. They have a nice clean home & super sweet people. Will definitely have them sit for my cat again!! Highly recommend.”
“John and Gemma were amazing!! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup with them. They sent updates throughout his stay and were very accommodating for his needs. I would definitely book with them again!!!”
“Bailey Too obviously had a good time at Lynn’s home. In the pictures she sent daily showed him engaged in his favorite activity: sleeping in the sunshine. He did play with her “Bella” to play a bit. I believe Lynn did a great job in caring for my older dog and will use her service again.”

Appa always has a blast at Gabriela’s house while we’re away. From drop off to pick up, it’s truly like he’s at sleep away camp! I receive updates on how he’s doing in a timely manner and you can tell she really cares about the dogs in her care. Appa’s a big boy (~115 lbs. Rottweiler) and Gabriela does a great job with him. My husband and I both highly recommend her.
Danielle was amazing with our Bear. She gave him all the snuggles and attention that he would get at home. I felt at ease knowing that he would be in a nice and safe environment when i was traveling. She also sent me pictures each day and i could see that Bear was happy and on his same schedule. I will definitely be booking with her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ruskin on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,342 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ruskin. 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.
96% of Ruskin 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 Ruskin 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 Ruskin 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 Ruskin.
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 Ruskin 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.
