“Brittany is wonderful and really came through for us on short notice. She sent us pictures and took excellent care of our boy. We had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Will book again.”

About: I’m a patient and attentive pet sitter who makes sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra care, and I always follow instructions carefully while treating every pet like my own I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’m available for boarding and doggy daycare throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will get lots of supervision, playtime, and a consistent routine in a calm and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fenced yard and a clean, pet-friendly home. I have one friendly dog who enjoys company, but I can separate them if needed. I follow your pet’s routine closely and send updates so you always know they’re happy and in good hands 🐾

“Jennifer watched our furbabys for a week and we were 100% satisfied she replayed quickly with updates and I felt at ease knowing that they were being taken care of Thanks ?”

“Oh my goodness Millie had the best stay with Alain. We received video's thur out Millie's stay, we could tell she was a happy girl. Would use Alain again for all the love he showed our Millie, and would recommend him highly.”

“She did very good with our pitbull mix. He can be fearful and is anxious when he’s not with his people and it was great to get photo updates of him during his stay. Also flexible on return time when our event we had to travel for was running late.”

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: 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.
“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.”

“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.”

“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”

“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.”

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.
“Reggie had a great time staying with Krista! Krista was happy to do a meet & greet before, so I felt comfortable. She kept me updated with daily pictures and was happy to keep him for a few extra hours as my flight was delayed. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“While I was away on a staycation in Cocoa Beach, apparently Dewey Finn was also on his own staycation at Teresa’s dog vacation house! My dog was well cared for and lived like a king the entire stay. Teresa is amazing with the pets she takes in. I did not worry one minute while I was away. Dewey had a blast running around the pool, playing with the other dogs and at the end of a day of fun, he cuddled on the sofa with Teresa and her clan! Thank you so much Teresa.”

“Absolutely amazing Rover sitter. Went way above and beyond to accommodate our situation. Highly recommended if you need a trustworthy family to keep your loved ones!!!”

“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”


“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.”

There are 666 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alva. About 93% of Alva sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
