“Fabiana is amazing. She accommodated me last minute, has a lovely, tidy home, and sent me updates throughout the day. Lucy was very happy here, will be booking with her again.”

“Kelsie & Grant were so so great with our dog Bear! She always updated us with lots of pictures and let us know how he was doing. They have a big yard which Bear seemed to love so much!! We will definitely use them again in the future and appreciate very much for taking such great care of our boy while we were away. Thank you Kelsie & Grant!!!!”

“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.”

“I had a last minute call out for work and Thomas and Lyndsay were very kind and were able to watch my Evy for a week without hesitation. They would send me pictures throughout her stay and Evy was very well taken care of. I am very grateful and will reach out to them again in the future.”

“John was great! We met with him ahead of time so my dog could become familiar with the house, he asked good questions about my dog, and he stayed in touch with me during his stay. I would definitely use John again.”
About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.
“Craig took great care of our fur baby. It was his first time away from home. He sent lots of pictures to keep us informed. Our fur baby had fun playing with Craig’s dogs and came home happy. If needed we will call on Craig again.”

“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!”

“5 stars all around for Johnny! Our dog, Tony, was so happy and thrived in Johnny's care. It's an absolute bonus that Johnny is extremely active so he was able to run with our dog on a daily basis and wear Tony out. Tony continued his routine and flourished at Johnny's home with his dog, Vanna (such a wonderful dog as well). We are delighted that we found Johnny and it went so well that we immediately booked him for another 1.5 week boarding. Johnny provided frequent updates which created peace of mind for our family. Tony even came home with a bath and some tasty treats. It was a fantastic experience. Excellence all around!”

About: Hello my name is David and I’m currently 19 years old! Ever since i was 7 or 8 years old , I grew up around dogs and other animals.

“Ashlee is a God send. We had been to a lot of dog sitters and this is the first time that our dog came home really happy. I could tell that she really cares for dogs and genuinely loves what she does.. we will be coming back Ashlee!!! Thank you for taking good care of Sparky.”


“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.”
“Emily and Aaron are fantastic people! They really did treat my baby as if he was their own. The pictures I got everyday was just the cutest and you could see how truly happy he was. Their son is so adorable and so gentle with the dogs, he enjoyed playing with Sparky I would definitely recommend this family for dog boarding, I know we will absolutely use them again. Thanks again for loving my little fur baby!!!!”


About: I have been providing pet sitting for clients since 2020, caring for both dogs and cats. I am also a dog owner myself, and I have experience training my own dogs, so I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. In my home, pets receive lots of love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they are here. We also enjoy fun and interactive time throughout the day to keep them happy and relaxed. My home is fully pet-friendly and equipped with toys, treats, and everything needed for daily care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to provide a calm, loving environment.” Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a stay-at-home caregiver, so I am home throughout the day and able to fully focus on the pets in my care. My schedule is very flexible and centered around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision. I plan my day around the pets so they are never left alone for long periods and always have attention, care, and consistency. On a weekly basis, I am able to accommodate regular bookings as well as longer stays since I am home most of the time. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest time. Pets are supervised throughout the day since I am home all day, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I also keep a clean, pet-friendly space with toys, treats, and everything needed for their comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and playtime. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.
“Our dog absolutely loved his stay at Lily’s house. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. She made us feel so comfortable. He’s only six months old and she took impeccable care of him. We also appreciated all of the updates.”

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.
