About: Hi everyone! Thank you for coming by and giving me the opportunity to care for your pet! Luckily , I work from home so your pet will have a ton of time to play, get belly rubs, and keep their tails wagging’. Consider this your pet’s second home while you’re away! :) I currently work from home so I have plenty of breaks to make sure your pet is comfortable and wagging its tail while you are away! In my home, pets enjoy a safe, cozy space with constant supervision, playtime, walks, and affection. I follow each pet’s routine, diet, and comfort needs. In clients’ homes, I ensure pets feel secure by maintaining their familiar environment, sticking to their schedules, offering enrichment, and keeping communication open with daily updates.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for Fozzie. She accommodated a last-minute request and immediately put us at ease by taking the time to do a meet-and-greet before our trip. From the start, she was warm, professional, and genuinely caring. Throughout our vacation, Michelle stayed in regular contact, providing updates and reassurance that Fozzie was doing well. It was clear that she treated him as if he were her own pet, giving him plenty of attention, care, and affection. We are incredibly grateful for the time and care Michelle provided. Knowing that Fozzie was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. What we appreciated most: • Accommodated a last-minute request • Took the initiative to do a pre-trip meet-and-greet • Excellent communication and regular updates • Treated Fozzie like family • Gave us complete peace of mind while we were away Thank you, Michelle, for taking such great care of Fozzie! 🐾”
“Robby and I loved every minute it was spent with Morgan and Grant, they have been the best sitters he's ever had! Morgan took notes from the first meet up/pre-drop off, asked all the right questions, and followed all the instructions to a T. We appreciated all the attentions, they were very proactive at sending pictures and videos, and always updating how happy he was, all the cuddles and pets he was getting, and all the friends he was making around the neighborhood. Their beautiful house was perfect for Robby, with plenty of space to run and cool off, even with the pool being fenced, the whole house was secured. The only concern I had was if Robby would be happy coming back home after spending that time with them! Highly, highly highly recommend them, and I'll be using them every time I have to be out of town!”
“Debra was awesome ….. our German Shepherd had the time of her life during the weekend we left her with Debra. She updated us with photos and gave us a verbal feedback during pick up.”
“Sianna was a great sitter. She super responsible and professional. I noticed that since we first met for our meet and greet. She kept me informed during my dog's stay with her. Super recommended!”
“This was our 4th time boarding Salty with Sarah!! We had another great experience. Salty always comes home well cared for & happy. She’s awesome about updating us with pictures, she’s well organized and flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Thanks again for a great stay!! We really appreciate it!”
“I cannot recommend Jack highly enough. When I found myself in a last-minute panic and needed someone to care for Loki, Jack stepped in without hesitation and ended up pet-sitting him for nearly a month. Knowing Loki was with someone so caring and experienced gave me tremendous peace of mind during a very stressful time. Throughout Loki's stay, Jack kept me updated and was always responsive whenever I reached out. It was obvious that Loki was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. By the time Loki arrived in Indonesia, he was healthy, happy, confident, and incredibly well-adjusted. Loki settled in almost immediately, has been eating great, and is thriving. I truly believe that smooth transition was thanks to the excellent care Jack provided while looking after him. Jack treated Loki as if he were his own pet, and I am so grateful for all of his help, kindness, and flexibility. If you're looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, I would recommend Jack without hesitation. He went above and beyond for both Loki and me, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
“Brian is such an amazing host. He took good care of cupcake. We will definitely be booking him again. He gives us a lot of updates and photos. Perfect for pet parents who worried too much.”
“Kristi was so kind and lovely to work with, I don’t even know where to begin. We started with a meet & greet that went very well! She took note of things I mentioned and asked questions to ensure he received the absolute best care possible. After dropping off my pup, she ensured that he was provided for and provided regular and complete updates on how he was doing. Would love the opportunity to work with her again in the future!!”
“Andrea was a God send! My husband and I did and 8 day roadtrip through yellowstone and Grand Teton. She and her husband kept our maltipoo Joon. Joon made friends with their 2 dogs and had the best time playing the entire time. Andrea sent updates and pictures everyday and I felt so relieved to know she was in such good hands. We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Our puppy Maisie had a wonderful time with Kimberly! She was very caring and communicative with us during our trip and I know Maisie felt right at home! We will absolutely be using Kimberly in the future!”
“Carla was great. Always quick to respond and send pictures with updates. Things couldn't have worked out any better and will definitely look into using again in the future.”
“Mona was great. She kept in touch with me and always sent pictures and videos. My Luna was very happy. Will definitely book again. Thank you Mona for taking such good care of my Luna.”
“Kevin was very nice and explained the process very well to us, being new Rover users and all. It was nice receiving pictures and videos throughout our pets stay. I highly recommend Kevin and will trust our pet with him for future stays. He also provided excellent advice on nutrition for our pet which we rarely even receive from veterinarians.”
“I can’t recommend Jonathan enough! He took amazing care of my dog, Cora, while I was on vacation. He kept me updated with lots of pictures and regular communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cora had a fantastic time playing with his other dogs, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. I was able to truly relax knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Jonathan’s services again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessica! From our first exchange, she was warm, personable, professional, and highly communicative. I felt comfortable entrusting Ollie and Mila to her care for an entire week. Jessica was thoughtful and attentive to their routines and individual personalities. Most importantly, it was clear that my dogs weren't simply being looked after—they were genuinely loved! They received plenty of affection from the whole family, and knowing they were happy and comfortable gave me tremendous peace of mind while traveling. I would happily book with Jessica again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Ollie and Mila clearly enjoyed their stay!”
About: To start, I've had a dog when I was younger, a beautiful and energetic shepherd-mix. I've also had parrots and cats too. I love, love animals! I personally believe every animal has a soul and is different and should be treated with respect. I've had several years of looking after and taking care dogs and cats. I've been apart of my high school's animal shelter and fostered and adopted kittens and puppies; also donated food and litter. I'm adept in reading and understanding cat and dog behavior and gestures. I'm easily able to know when the dog will need to use the restroom, is hunger and or thirsty, or wants to play. As for availability, I'm free any day of the week at any time of the day. I’ll keep you up to date on bookings via texts, photos, and videos. Cheers! Pet sitting and pet care is my primary form of income and my day-to-day schedule is very malleable, enabling me to accommodate to most booking requests! I like to keep a clean and tidy and secured space, so your home will be well cared for. You will return to your home just as you left it, if not better!
“Silvia and her family took great care of my Koby and we are so grateful to have found her. She was able to take him last minute as the arrangements I had previously made did not work out. I recommend Silvia to anyone needing dog boarding.”
“Starr was able to help me sit my dig after some last minute travel plans. The student discount she offered was a great surprise and she dig a great job watching him while I was away on business. Will definitely book again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Alafaya is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alafaya
Tiffany is super responsive, an excellent communicator and has a sweet dog loving family. She was quick to offer a Meet and Greet through Zoom and felt very comfortable from drop-off through pickup. Rox was super calm when we picked him up and was not anxious to leave as he usually is. I rank this as our best overall Rover experience and we have had over a dozen stays! Highly recommend Tiffany and her family!
Mindy and her daughters took amazing care of Hazel while we were out of town! They were loving, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease knowing Hazel was in such good hands. It gave us so much peace of mind, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful family to care for our fur baby. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to booking with them again!
We had a wonderful experience with Omar. From start to finish very reliable, caring, and attentive to our dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing our furry babies were in great hands. We truly appreciated their dedication and communication. We absolutely recommend them to others and will be using their services again in the furture.
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Alafaya is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $51 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,582 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alafaya. About 91% of Alafaya 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
