“This is the second time Eve has watched my baby, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She is absolutely amazing! Knowing my precious girl is in such loving, caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. Eve treats her like one of her own, and I never have to worry about her safety or well-being. She keeps me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and immediately lets me know if there are any concerns. Her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. I feel so fortunate to have found her, and I will never trust anyone else with my baby but Eve! I highly recommend her!”
“Betsy took care of our dog last minute, she is very passionate and professional and well prepared. Fully fenced in yard, toys at the ready, and she walked our dog daily. We received pictures multiple times a day, I felt extremely safe and confident with Penny in her care, we will be booking again!”
“Trevor was fantastic from the very first moment we reached out to him. He was incredibly caring and kind, not only to our dog but to us as pet parents as well. We’re so grateful to have had Trevor take care of our dog and couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
About: Hi! I’m Allyson, dog mom to Woody and Birdie. 🐾 We absolutely love having dogs come stay and spend time with us in our home! My yard is fully fenced as safety is a priority for me. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m a lifelong dog lover and formerly worked as a veterinary assistant, giving me lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Our home also has a pool, and I spend a good amount of time each day exercising my own dogs in it. If your dog already loves to swim, they’re welcome to enjoy some pool time too! And if you’d like me to help teach your dog how to swim safely, I’d be happy to work with them at their own pace. I was previously on Rover and am so happy to be back! I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about who is caring for your dog, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have. I’d love to meet you and your pup soon! 🐶❤️ I'm Allyson, dog mom to Woody and Birdie. We absolutely love having dogs come stay and spend time with us in our home!

I'd love to meet you and your pup soon! 🐶🐾 The dogs and I will spend our days outside enjoying my fully fenced backyard, where they’ll have plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the sunshine. They will never be left outside unattended. Safety is extremely important to me, and I take it very seriously. In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, my veterinarian is conveniently located just ½ mile from my home and has a 24-hour emergency hospital attached to the practice, so your pup can receive immediate care if needed. Before your dog’s stay, please let me know if they have ever experienced any health concerns, medical conditions, allergies, injuries, or other issues that I should be aware of. Knowing their history helps me provide the safest and most comfortable care possible. ❤️🐾
“Laura is fantastic! She was excellent communicating how my Max was doing and sent amazing pictures. Her family is so sweet and they loved my pup like he was their own. Max was relaxed with them and was a happy boy. Laura gave great updates, followed all my directions on what Max needs and likes. Just so very happy I have found her and will have my Maxie stay with her and her lovely family again.”
“Jessie picked up and dropped off our dog exactly when she said she would. She came with a checklist of questions that inspired our confidence in her. She sent daily (beautiful) photos of our dog and told us how much her family enjoyed spending time with our dog. Highly recommend!”
“My first time using Rover and what a first time. Couldn’t be happier with my experience. Lexi was on point all the way and Maverick was in good hands from minute one. Thanks so much for the excellent service. We’ll be back for sure.”
“I was out of the country for 18 days when I left my Great Dane with Ali. I am so thankful I found her! She kept me updated with pictures, videos, and comments. If I ever had to give my big girl away, I would let Ali adopt her without any hesitation. She is the best!”
About: I have had a dog most of my life. I have also watched dogs for family and friends on several occasion's. Let your four legged child join our family. I'm currently retired. I take my dog Angel for a walk 4-5 times a day depending on the weather. Often one of our walks leads to the neighborhood dog park. I live in a main floor condo with a screen in lanai. I have a friendly dog to keep yours company. We can create your dog if that's what you like but would prefer they just join our family while you are gone.
“Stacia and her family were Extremely great with our Roxy. She was very informative and kept us updated constantly on Roxy, she sent lots of pics, her dogs got along great with ours. We felt very comfortable and safe with Roxy in her care. We will definitely be booking her in the future for our trips away.”
“Winston had a great stay at Morgan’s. Lots of cuddle time with her little ones and he loved playing outside in the fenced in backyard. I would highly recommend Morgan and hope to use here again in the future.”
“We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!”
“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Thelma is the best. Beatrice does well in a home setting, feels safe, and doesn't come home stressed. I trust Thelma -- she treats Bea like one of her own. Highly recommend.”
“As always, Amber is the BEST dog sitter. I feel so lucky to have found her. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with another person than I have with her. My dog genuinely loves Amber and her family and gets SO excited when I drop her off!”
About: Your dog deserves more than a typical boarding experience—they deserve a calm, loving home where they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. With over 22 years of hands-on experience, I provide a private, cage-free environment designed for comfort, attention, and peace of mind. I intentionally keep my care more personal and intimate, so each dog receives the time, affection, and supervision they deserve—something I felt was missing in many traditional facilities. Your dog will live as part of my home, not in kennels or behind closed doors. I’m with them 24/7, offering constant care, companionship, and a peaceful routine. My space is designed so dogs always feel included, even if brief separation is needed, using open, visible areas rather than isolation. I also have a large, securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and relaxation. I am CPR certified and experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, so you can feel completely confident in your dog’s health and safety. While you’re away, I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is not only safe—but genuinely happy, comfortable, and loved. My goal is simple: to give you the feeling that you never truly left your dog behind. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit into my day—it is my day. I keep a small group so I can give each dog my full attention, carefully observing their behavior and well-being. This allows me to notice even subtle changes and respond quickly, keeping you informed and your dog safe, comfortable, and truly cared for at all times. In my home, dogs are never just watched—they’re truly cared for. I stay closely attuned to their needs, whether it’s noticing when they want to go outside, play in the yard, rest, or simply need comfort. I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, secure environment throughout their stay.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in West Bradenton is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Bradenton
Tara is wonderful!! When we did our meet and greet she was very attentive to our needs for Bella. She is easy to work with and communicates appropriately. She is very organized and makes sure we are comfortable with her home. We will definitely use her again in the future!
Janette and Allyson are wonderful hosts. Their home is warm and welcoming, Allyson was fantastic at sending us photos and updates. I highly recommend them, to take care of your fur babies. Ruby our golden doodle loved her stay, she was right at home immediately. I so glad we found these wonderful pet sitters to look after her while we are away.
I wish I would have found Charlie and Lisa sooner. I felt comfortable with them the first time we met and RD made himself right at home at the meet and greet. They were very attentive to him and his needs. Sending pictures and updates made me feel at ease because it was the first time I left him with strangers and I could tell he felt right at home. I will definitely use Charlie and Lisa again and I would not hesitate to recommend them highly to anyone who wants their fur baby in good hands and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed!!
I had my dog, Brier, stay with Pamela for the very first time. Prior to the stay, we did a meet and greet at her house and I could quickly see how much Pamela loved animals. During his stay, Pamela sent me videos of Brier playing with her dog. He was so happy and tails a wagging. Best Rover experience to date. Brier will be so happy to go back and I will know he is in great hands!!!

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.
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.
96% of sitters in West Bradenton 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 West Bradenton 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 West Bradenton.
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 can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your West Bradenton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
