“Yildi was very nice and caring for Juniper. She does have toddlers, but they seemed to know that the animals 'weren't a toy' and I felt safe leaving my pup with her and her husband. She sent photo updates, and let me know how everything was going. Overall a nice experience.”
“Leslie watched our sweet Remi girl who was only 13 weeks old. She hadn’t had all of her shots yet, so we were nervous to board her publicly. Taking her to Leslie, she was able to socialize with not just her two dogs but with tortoises, a parrot, and chickens! Our puppy also discovered that she loves swimming Leslie allowed her to swim in their pool. It felt like Remi was welcomed into a family and not boarded up all weekend! Thank you Leslie!”
“Sierra is excellent. She's professional and accommodating. She loves animals and will take great care of your pet. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Katerina was amazing! My mom and I had to travel to Sarasota to pick up my brother’s dog and take care of other things since he was had an emergency and was hospitalized. Katerina watched Lucy for two days, which allowed us to take care of everything and visit with my brother. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who has to leave their pet and wants to make sure they are in capable and caring hands. Thank you Katerina! You were a lifesaver!”
“Audrey and Joseph are always the first place I check when I need a sitter! They do a great job of making my pup feel welcome and send daily photos. Trust them 100% with my fur baby.”
“First time for my pup Wyatt with Thelma. He had a great time . Everything about this process was easy and I was able to visit my college son in NY without a worry! Thanks so much to Thelma and her family for taking such loving care of my boy .”
“Just wonderful! We left our Norfolk Terrier, Holly with Lori and Jim for 2 weeks while we were overseas and were absolutely at peace the whole time. Lori would send photos each day with a tidbit of what Holly was up to. They are very caring and we are so glad we found them. Holly enjoyed her stay very much! We highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such good care of her!!”
“Charlotte did an excellent job taking care of Carlos & Charlie. She shared pictures every day with us of the fun they were having while we were out of town and was very attentive of their needs.”
“Kendal and Demardre went out of their way to be flexible and understanding when I had to cancel last minute because of an emergency. Our meet and greet beforehand made me feel truly at ease, and Clifford was instantly comfortable and happy. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out, and I’m looking forward to booking with them again soon!”
“Sarah was everything you can ask for in a sitter! She was responsive, attentive, and so professional. My Daisy had a blast, she was played out and had full attention 24/7. My partner and I had total peace of mind on our trip, with constant pictures and updates. I will bring my dogs back for sure. 5 stars”
“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
“Tina is excellent and eases all your worries of boarding your dog. I had never used rover before and was very nervous; I found Tina and our retriever mix Buckleigh was able to meet Tahoe that same day. She was so excited to come back for a sleepover a few days later it eased my separation anxiety. Tina provided us with lots of photos and videos to let us know Buckleigh was LOVING her stay. She had lots of playtime and walks and got to love on Tahoe's toys. I definitely recommend Tina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”
“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”
“Misti is amazing! We are new to Sarasota and have tried a couple different boarding options. Our dog comes home stressed and nervous. Then we found Misti! Our dog loved her stay with her and came home happy and clean!! I would highly recommend Misti!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Sarasota is $46
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sarasota
Our 14 year old small terrier mix just spent 5 great days with Jewell. He is blind and mostly deaf so he's a special needs dog. Jewell welcomed him into her home, and he felt comfortable in his new surroundings the first day. We also appreciated the daily updates and photos.
Laura was wonderful. Sam had an amazing time while staying with her, and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout her stay. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Sam was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Laura with Sam again and wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Laura in the future.
It was the first time we left Joy, but she had a great time. She was very happy and also made a friend. Bennett kept us informed all the time and sent us photos, which made us feel very calm. Joy came back happy and very well taken care of. Thank you so much, Bennett. You were very kind and patient with Joy. We would definitely leave her with you again. We recommend you 100%! 😊

There are 1,469 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sarasota. About 93% of Sarasota sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
