“Thank you to Kelsie and Grant for taking such good care of our Conway. (5yr old GSD). This was his first time away from us without our other dog who passed so I was a little nervous. The previous glowing reviews helped me make my choice. We got photos of Conway during his stay enjoying the big yard, playing & the communication was easy. Thank you again.”
“Thomas and Lyndsay welcomed our pup and made her feel right at home. We appreciated their availability without much notice and their flexibility with drop off and pick up. We will definitely reach out for future visits.”
“Summit was amazing. Clearly he is very experienced with handling all dogs, but was super with our 95lb Shepard. Our dog quickly warmed up to Summit and left very happy.”
“Ashlee is the sweetest and most thoughtful person. She really loves your pet. She went out of her way to try to get my dog to eat when he refused to. She even took my pet to the vets when we decided he needed to be checked. She cooked a chicken in the crock pot just for him. I know she was trying to do everything possible. I would not hesitate to have her watch Eddie again.”
“Neysha was amazing! I will 100% use her again in the future and I highly recommend her. The communication was superb and we really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent us of Macy while we were away. Macy was actually sad to leave her place when we got home. Do not hesitate to book with Neysha!”
About: Tengo un amor natural desde mi país cuba porque soy del campo, disfruto pasar tiempo con los peludos, tengo mucha paciencia con ellos y además me encanta el ejercicio. Actualmente trabajo por mi cuenta en aplicaciones. Tengo mascotas propias desde hace 7 años, lo que me ha dado experiencia práctica cuidando cachorros y perros grandes: alimentación, paseos, juego y atención a sus necesidades diarias. Cuando vivía en Syracuse, también ayudé a varios amigos con paseos y cuidado de sus mascotas a través de la app. Esa misma dedicación y cariño es lo que ofrezco al cuidar las mascotas de otras familias, como si fueran mías. También tengo en casa una cotorra blanca. En mi casa tengo un jardín muy grande y cercado, pensado especialmente para perros, con muchos juguetes y bien acondicionado para que se sientan cómodos y seguros mientras juegan y descansan.Adicionalmemte un cuarto rspecial solo para ellos con juguetes y todo lo necesario para su descanso y tranquilidad .
“Matthew and Samantha take excellent care of Milo, he is exceited when he arrives at their house and is ready to play. Great communication and lots of pictures.”
“If I could leave a 10 star review I would. Gulcin was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She accommodated me at the last minute practically. She did more for my dog than what I asked her to do. She's fantastic with animals, and to see my dog enjoying himself with her gave me so much peace. I am looking forward to having her take care of my dog again in the next few days. She's absolutely fantastic.”
“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”
“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!”
“John was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages. My dog was happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind. We’ll definitely be using his services again :) Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia and her family did an amazing job watching AK during our long weekend trip. Cynthia sent daily updates, videos, and photos during AK's stay in their home. Cynthia took the time to ask all important questions to ensure AK was well cared for and adjusted to her know in a comfortable manner. Cynthia was kind to adjust the stay and allow AK to stay another night due to delay in travel plans. When arriving home after picking up AK Cynthia included a sweet picture of AK during his stay in her home. We will definitely be using Cynthia and her family's services again.”
“Emily, Aaron, their two boys, and their little Yorkie were super to deal with. They have a wonderful home, and yard, set up very nicely for my dog Snoogums to visit. I felt very comfortable with the arrangement. They sent me photos throughout the stay, with my dog playing, going on walks, sleeping. and playing. I felt comfort while on my trip with their communications. I would definitely repeat with them while away on my next trip. A definite A+ Dale & Snoogums”
“Xiao was a great sitter. We needed a last minute boarding and she answered fast and was ready for drop off ASAP. She sent pictures and videos the whole time and our dog had a great visit. You can tell she is a big animal lover! We will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”
“I have never left my 2 frenchies for a long period of time - so this visit was extra hard on me, especially since I was going on a cruise with limited contact. Sam was great with my babies, however! I got regular updates whenever I had service, and I could tell they were having fun and loving their time with her and her babies! Definitely will be booking her again for my next trip! 🖤”
“Krista was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the start, she was incredibly sweet and kept us completely at ease with frequent photo updates and check-ins whenever it was time for meals or walks. Her home is spotless, and the fenced-in yard provided the perfect environment for play and exercise. It was clear they were a perfect match—Krista had nothing but great things to say about Kali, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in her care. To top it off, she was incredibly accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute; she didn't hesitate to let our dog stay an extra night when we realized we wouldn't make the original pickup time. We will definitely be booking with Krista again!”
“We left our dogs over a week, they enjoyed their stay and we loved getting our daily videos., we looked forward to them every day and made us feel special. Alain was very attentive and caring. We will definitely leave them again and highly recommend!!”

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.
