“My dog had the best time at Kelsie's for a week! She sent me daily updates and he looked so happy running around her big fenced in yard. She was flexible with pickup and drop off which made booking with her super convenient and she worked from home so she was always with my pup which I know he loved. I will definitely use Kelsie again in the future!!”
“Francisca took excellent care of my dog, Cash. She was very attentive and clearly cares about the animals she watches. I especially appreciated that she sent me regular picture updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Cash looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Francisca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“My dogs had the best time on their vacation with Fabiana! She sent soo many pictures and communicated throughout their time away. I'm sure they will miss all the fun they had!”
“Our go-to couple! Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and safe space for your pup! They send pictures (which always make us smile) and have our dog’s tail wagging when we arrive to their house. He loves it there.”
“We were comfortable leaving Chesney. She was happy there right away. We appreciated the pictures and updates where Chesney looked happy and not stressed. Summit is wonderful.”
“I could not have asked for a better host for Callie. John was amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone needing someone to care for their little one. He'll definitely be my first choice in the future.”
“We had a great experience with them this weekend. They were responsive, easy to coordinate with, and kept me updated with messages/photos. Most importantly, my dog seemed comfortable and happy in their care. Highly recommend, we’ll be repeat clients.”
“Destony was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. Throughout their stay, she kept us at ease and made sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy. What stood out most was how attentive and loving she was with them. Hearing that they were sweet, well-behaved, and that she wouldn’t mind watching them again truly speaks to the positive environment she created for them. She also went the extra mile by keeping us informed and reminding us about their evening feeding. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would not hesitate to book with Destony again in the future. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, Destony is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!”
“Ashlee is so kind and accommodating. This is the second time we have had her watch them for over a week. We will definitely book again because we can trust her with our babies”
“Alain did a great job with a last minute boarding request on Thanksgiving week. He sent several videos daily of our sweet girl. We really appreciated everything. She came home very happy like she enjoyed her stay. Thank you!”
“Tia took such good care of our puppies, that they were spoiled! I can imagine that caring for 2 active dogs is not an easy task but we really appreciate knowing that they are in good hands. Tia picked them up and dropped them off which is an extra service that makes handoff so much easier for us. Tia is also a veterinarian so we rest assured that if anything happened to the our puppies she would know exactly what to do.”
“If you’re looking for the best place to leave your pup, look no further, Diana is the one! I had to go on a last-minute trip, and not only did she come to the rescue, but she also took care of Rocky with so much love and dedication that I felt completely at ease. She kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time, and it was clear that Rocky was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s rare to find someone so caring and committed to animals. I’ll definitely leave him with her again. Thank you for everything, Diana!”
“Maria watched my puppy, it was the first time I left him and first time he ever stayed with anyone else. She did amazing! Kept me up to date even though my responses were limited due to cell service. She made him feel at home and I knew he was well watched over. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“My dog had special needs after having a spinal surgery leaving him unable to walk temporarily. Omayra was amazing! She sent me updates, made sure to do his physical therapy exercises, and went above and beyond doing things for my dog beyond what I expected. She even got him a cake and balloons for his birthday. When I picked him up he had made so much progress regarding gaining strength in his legs ans trying to walk again. I was worried as I'd never used rover before and this was 10x better than taking him to a vet. She cared and gave him one on one attention. Showed concern and care in keeping his spirits up and keeping him stimulated. I could not be happier with the care and service she provided for my little buddy!”
“Highly recommend!! Our pup is FULL of energy and at times doesn’t have his listening ears on :) we are so thankful to be able to leave him with Ms Olga and still enjoy time away with family 💕 thank you !”
“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”

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.
100% of Alva 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 Alva 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 Alva 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 Alva.
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 Alva 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.
