“Great services, highly knowledgeable, and will send lots of cute pictures of your dog to check in! Highly recommend booking with her, just don’t take all the time slots 😆”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“Maverick stayed with Nina for 9 days while we were out of town. Nina is always so accommodating and responsive. We’ll never leave Mav with anyone else! Thanks Nina!”
“Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.”
“Miranda was great with Luna! I could tell Luna had a bunch of fun while boarding with Miranda. I was updated with pictures and videos of how Luna was doing every day, and I really appreciated that.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve taken care of animals from all walks of life for as long as I can remember! I’m also a second year veterinary student at UF with experience working part time in a pet hospital, so health and general well-being are my highest priorities for your fur babies! Troubled pup? No prob! My own dog took years of training and guidance to get him to be comfortable around people and able to walk on a leash, so I am willing to help out with dogs from all backgrounds and all training levels! Send me a message, and we can chat about our next visit! Being a full-time veterinary student means I'm usually busy learning how to better take care of your pets Monday through Friday during normal business hours. HOWEVER, there is usually a 1-2hr block cut out of each of my days where I can easily sneak out to take your furry friend on a walk or let them out to go potty! At my home - While I have no fenced yard, my apartment complex has an on-site dog park that's left mostly unused, and we live less than 10 minutes from awesome walking locations like Depot Park, Northside Park, or even just walks around the neighborhood (Stephen Foster area). I do have a kitty named Capybara at home, but she's a recluse who will likely pay no mind to any furiends we have staying with us. Seeing as she keeps herself pretty occupied with napping and watching squirrels from her catio, I will plenty of time to spare for your fur baby! On walks - walking a dog is a truly bonding experience and I prioritize my clients comfortability with our outdoor activities! I love hiking and long walks, but short walks around the block are also good! I love getting the opportunity to get out and active with a four-legged fur friend by my side! Having had reactive dogs of my own, I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and always keep babies on leash to ensure safety and positive experiences on every trip! Have a gentle leader? No fear, I’m very experienced with using one and can even help train your pet to be more comfortable in one as well! Have questions? Don’t be shy! Send me a message, and I’m sure we can work out what’s best for you and your pet!
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Sage is great! She kept me updated and asked questions to make sure Kane was being taken care of in the best way. Kane enjoyed his time with her and her fur babies! Thank you Sage!”
About: Throughout the course of my life I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking dogs ranging from cocker spaniel to Maltese to my current dachshund mix Lunes. Whether it be a leisurely stroll to sniff some bushes or a quick jog to get the zoomies out, I take note of the importance of getting our babies outside. I currently focus on basic puppy commands like “sit” and “paw” as well as teaching how to love bath time. I am currently a PhD student at UF and am free to focus on the highest quality pet care when I am not in class. I am available for boarding if your pet is friendly with other dogs! During boarding I can easily crate up to a medium sized dog if need be. I take my own dog on walks in the morning, evening, and night, but can be flexible with yours during boarding and house sitting. If you have a larger dog in need of crating, just provide one and that works too! If not, they are free to roam around my apartment and play. My little guy is my pride and joy, so I treat him just as I would any other member of my family and I’ll do the same for yours.
“My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Trinity and Thomas. It gave me peace of mind knowing Trinity works as a vet tech and Thomas works from home, so my dog had plenty of attention. We also did a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure our dogs got along, which I really appreciated. It seemed like my dog got lots of playtime with their dog during her stay. I knew beforehand that their dog might tear up soft toys, so we only brought toys we were okay with parting with. However, one of my dog's hard toys and her food bowl also ended up getting chewed, which is not something my dog usually does. Just keep in mind if you bring any toys or food items that their dog may have access to, they may get chewed on.”
“I would first like to start out by saying I was a newbie at using Rover and boarding my dog. Shey and Michael were great with helping me feel comfortable. I have a large breed dog and they were knowledgeable and was able to take on caring for him. They did wonderful with updates. My dog, Bleu, got along very well with their dogs, especially Ocean! I had issues with my travel plans and they were flexible in allowing me to add on one more day at the last minute. I cannot rave enough about my booking. Definitely will be booking with them again!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets. I’ve fostered animals through the Humane Society, administered basic medications, followed feeding routines closely, and prioritize patience, safety, and affection. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible on weekends, plan my schedule around pet needs, and make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed. I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. In a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, keep doors secured, and respect the pet’s routine. I always monitor pets closely, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate updates so owners feel confident and at ease.
“Second time doing a 9 day stay for our doggie with Kelly and her daughter! Mose was so well cared for and Kelly is so kind as well as easy going. I can’t recommend this mother-daughter duo more highly!”
About: I am an animal lover of all kinds. We have three dogs, four chickens, my daughter is an equestrian enthusiast and we also have a tortoise I own my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to accommodate your pet’s individual needs throughout the day! I have a fenced backyard and three fur babies that could help give your fur baby company. I am a stay at home mom who will be home in the entire time
About: I have extensive experience caring for my pets, providing them with dedicated attention and love throughout their lives. My commitment to their happiness and health reflects my deep passion for animals and my understanding of their individual needs. We are College students. Kenya studies in the morning and works in the afternoon, and Emanuel only studies in the morning and has the whole day off; weekends are free for us. We don't go out much to events like parties; we stay at home a lot. Our place is healthy, good, and small. We live in a quiet area, and no matter what service you choose, we will always provide the same security and peace to all the pets that leave us in charge. In our house, we do not consume any alcohol or illegal substances by our own decision; we do not have noisy neighbors or people who do things like that.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Archer
Danielle is incredible! She truly has a passion for dogs and for keeping them safe and happy. I picked my dog up and she was so happy and playful, so content and no signs of distress. I got daily updates from Danielle and I could tell she had things under control even though there was a bad storm which my dog doesn’t like. I will for sure ask Danielle to watch Aurora again and recommended her to friends/family.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Archer can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Archer 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 Archer.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Archer. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Archer 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
