“We can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Krista was the perfect person to care for Amy. She made Amy feel right at home. We were sent pictures and updates daily. I never worried a minute while she was in Krista's care. We will definitely use Krista again without hesitation.”

“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”

“Angela and her husband were so sweet with Stella giving her belly rubs and making her feel comfortable in their home. Very nice people who genuinely seem to love caring for dogs. I would be happy to have Stella stay with them 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.
“LuLu had a blast with Claudia and her family!! Claudia sent me photos throughout the whole stay to let me know how LuLu was doing. Claudia is so sweet and communicative throughout the whole stay! I really felt at ease with LuLu there!!!! LuLu will def. Be staying with Claudia again!! ❤️”

“Karen and Randy were great! We felt that our fur baby was in good hands since we met. You can see they genuinely enjoy caring for your pet and are very kind and professional to deal with. We got daily pictures and videos even, during the stay, so we could see our pup! Would definitely recommend.”

“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!”

“Elle was very responsive, send a lot of photos letting us know that Ollie was okay during his stay. Even though, the first day we dropped him off, there was a bit of miscommunication, overall we felt Ollie was in good hands and definitely we would contact Elle again if we need someone to watch him again.”


“Vetra was so good with my dog. She stayed over July 4 and there are a bunch of fireworks which my dog hates and Vetra did her best to comfort Lily. We’ll definitely be using Vetra again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and current pet parent to a 9-year-old black Labrador retriever and a 2-year-old cat, both incredibly friendly and well-socialized with other animals. Since I work remotely and am home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. Having a senior dog myself means I understand the extra care, patience, and routine that older pets often need, while my cat keeps me well-practiced with feline personalities too. Your pet will have their own private room in my townhouse, so they’ll have a comfortable, quiet space to settle into if they need a break from the action. Because I’m home so much, I’m able to offer multiple walks throughout the day, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks on a consistent schedule. I’m attentive to feeding routines, medication needs, and any specific quirks your pet has — just let me know what works best for them. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available every single day, including weekdays and weekends, for both walks and boarding. Since I’m home consistently, your pet will get regular attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I have a spacious two-story townhouse with plenty of room for pets to roam and stay active indoors. Your pet will have their own private room for a quiet, comfortable retreat. I’m close to two dog parks for extra exercise and socialization, and I’m happy to walk dogs every 3 hours if needed to keep them comfortable and on schedule.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
