“Marie was phenomenal! She took in Mochi as if he was her own doggie. I got videos and pics of his stay each day and saw how much fun he was having playing and running around. I felt great knowing he was in her hands and in a safe loving environment.”
“Christine was absolutely amazing. My dog had the best time ever with her pets and got so much love and attention would highly recommend and will absolutely be using her for my services!!”
“Briana is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our fur babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! She was willing to adjust her routine to accommodate their habits as closely as we had at our home which meant a lot to us. When we came back home after our vacation our pets were very happy.Overall we were happy and would book with her again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated my dogs like they were hers. I could genuinely feel the motherly love. lol. I for sure would rebook with Mya if possible. She went above and beyond and I could tell my dogs miss her.”
“April was very patient and accommodating regarding our schedule which changed several times. She took great care of my dogs while they were with her and sent me daily updates w/ pictures. Communication was excellent. Thank you April!”
“This is my frenchies second home. Leandro and Sarahi always provide daily updates with pictures and videos. I will never look anywhere else. Thank you Leandro and Sarahi.”
“Kayla and family are what you look for when trying to find someone to board your dog. They are dog lovers and have a fenced in backyard, so there's plenty of room for multiple dogs to chase geckos and each other. Will book again.”
“Cristal was amazing. From the moment I booked with her, she asked a lot of questions about Livie - her eating, sleeping and walking habits. When I arrived at Cristal’s apartment, she warm and sweet towards Livie. During the stay I received a lot of photos and updates. And, her apartment is nicely situated on the ground floor w access to a lot of green space. We I will definitely use Cristal again.”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job watching Wall-E and Eva. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. Communication was excellent—she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was appreciated. The dogs looked comfortable and well cared for the entire time. When I picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly had been looked after. Her place is clean and dog friendly. Vanessa was dependable and she takes the responsibility of ensuring your pets comfort seriously. I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time the need arises.”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Crixus absolutely loves staying with Al and Steph—this was his second visit with them! They take such great care of him and always send updates and pictures, which I truly appreciate. Every time I pick him up, he’s happy and well cared for. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Liliana is absolutely the best of the best. She treats your fur baby as if they are her own. She totally connects with them. My dog is very skittish around new people, but somehow he loves her. She’s very warm and caring and extremely knowledgeable about dogs. She truly is the best!”
“Emily was incredible with my dog Abby! Daily communication along with pictures, she made Abby feel at home and made my vacation wonderful because she was so well cared for!!! Thank you so very much!!”
“Mindy and her family are amazing! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were wonderful! They are friendly, reliable, and provided excellent communication throughout our trip. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear they truly treat the dogs like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. We never had to worry while we were away because we knew our pups were in good hands. We highly recommend their services and will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“I can’t recommend them enough! I was running late for drop off, and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible, which immediately put my mind at ease. When I needed to extend my pickup time, they were just as understanding and made the entire process completely stress free. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and go above and beyond to make things easy for pet parents. I already have another reservation booked for my puppy, and they’ll definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward. Amazing people, exceptional service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member!”
“Omar took care of my dog Mozart and overall I had a good experience. He was very responsive and always replied quickly whenever I sent a message, which I really appreciated. Mozart was well taken care of during the stay. Thank you again for helping with my pup!”
“Brooke is a wonderful sitter for our Mr Cookie. He is so comfortable and looks happy in the daily photos we receive. We don’t want anyone but Brooke!”

Mya was beyond amazing! She took such great care of our dog while we were away. She sent pictures/videos and updated us through the week. She was communicative throughout and was always prompt at responding. We booked her a few days before and we feel that we lucked out finding her. We will definitely use her again!!
Emily was great from the very beginning all the way through the booking! Went out of her way to do a meet and greet since my little pug is somewhat anxious, sent pix and updates every day and took great care of him. Will def use Emily the next time I need a sitter! Would recommend!
Cristal took amazing care of my little Lily! I like to believe that dogs just know if a person has a good spirit or not, and Lily warmed up to Cristal pretty much immediately. Great communication and I can tell Cristal really cared for the well being of my dog. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Thank you April and family for taking great care of our fur baby KYLO!!! He is an anxious high energy pup and we are so glad we found you!! We picked him up and he was happy and tired! We have found the perfect family to take care of Kylo when we go away!! Thank you!!

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.
95% of sitters in Alafaya 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 Alafaya 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 Alafaya.
<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 Alafaya 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.
