“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.”

“I highly recommend Claudia. She watched my 10 month old high energy lab for 4 days. Constantly sent me pictures and updates. I felt so at ease with him in her care.”

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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to include pet care in my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I also give them plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and keep their space clean and stress-free.
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.
“We’ve used Viviana twice so far and will definitely have her watch our dog, Luke, again! When we dropped him off he was so excited to see Viviana and her husband that I had trouble getting him to come and say goodbye to me. She sent me pictures every day which was nice. Luke was happy and obviously well cared for. I would recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Viviana and Chris!”

“My dog really likes it at Alain's home. This time when we came home from vacation we were met with a very happy dog. I can tell he was taken care of well. What a great worry free dog sitter.”

“Diana was great taking care Dexter. Everything great. We received daily pics and videos of Dexter. He also got a grooming while there. Thank you so much for your great service.”

“My 7 month old Maltipoo loved her stay with Samatha. She actually found a way that she’ll actually eat dog food. She actually also groomed her. Got pictures during the week. If I need her again, I will definitely call her again. She didn’t even sleep in her bed. She slept with her 8 year old daughter. Willow loves them.”


About: Have taken care of and owned dogs all my life as well as been partnering with another pet sitting business to take in overflow. No kid home, safe and secure for your pet. Open to special requests such as if you want your dog walked at a park once a day, or kept separate from any other animals, etc. also if you’d like daily or multidaily updates and photos that can be requested. I work from home as a tailor so I’m home most of the day, no long hours away. I live alone so no extra people or strangers will be in the house or going in and out throughout the day. Close to Colonial animal hospital and Blue pearl incase of any emergency. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and a friendly small dog that is happy to play with a new friend. If your pet sleeps in bed at night I’d be happy to accommodate or if they’re crated at night I can also do so for you. I try to follow the same rules they live by at home including if they’re allowed on furniture, how they’re fed, etc.
“Carla and her family were amazing with Sky! Sky was so happy in the pictures Carla sent to us. Thank you so much for taking great care of her. See you again in a couple of weeks. ❤️❤️”

“Krista provided excellent care for Bailey. He enjoyed his stay immensely and was a bit sad to leave since he had so much fun. Krista provided daily updates and was very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Highly recommend her services. Thank you, Krista!”

“Hi Maria, Thank you so much for taking such great care of Annie! We really appreciate all the extra love, walks, and attention you gave. It means a lot to us knowing she was in such good hands. Thanks again! The Williams Family”

“Teresa is absolutely wonderful. She welcomes the dogs right into her home, and you can feel how much she genuinely enjoys having them there. The dogs spend their days playing in her backyard, lounging by the pool, and getting attention from both her and her husband. It’s a fun, safe, happy atmosphere, and you can tell the dogs truly love being there. I highly recommend Teresa.”

“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.”

“Cosmo recently spent the night with Breanna in her house and had a great time! She’s is easy to work with, communicates well, and has a playmate for my boy. Highly recommend”

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.

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.
