About: My lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals of many kinds. I bred our family poodle, assisted during the birth of her puppies, helped raise them, and placed them in loving homes with family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for guinea pigs, fish, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs of many breeds and sizes. I’ve even rescued baby birds and provided around-the-clock care until they were healthy enough to be released back into the wild. I’ve also helped several family members teach their dogs important skills, including potty training and coming when called. I had a dog by my side for most of my life until my beloved fur baby recently passed away. While I’m not ready to adopt another pet, I would love to responsibly fill that space in my heart by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care to other people’s pets. I currently work at my part-time job two days a week. Outside of that schedule, I’m very flexible and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet parent’s needs. I’m always happy to have a conversation about your pet's specific routine and schedule so we can create a care plan that works well for everyone. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which means your pet will be my priority and receive plenty of individual attention. Although I do not have a fenced-in backyard, dogs will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, and there is also have a dog park in my neighborhood that can be used with your permission. For cats, I can provide litter boxes and a peaceful environment where they can settle in comfortably. My home is clean, organized, and pet-proofed. I do not have children in the home, and potentially unsafe items are kept neatly put away. Pets are welcome on my furniture because I believe they are family—while they’re staying with me, my home is their home.
“Our Aussie Doodle seemed to love being there. She played with their dog and she slept on the bed with their teen aged son. She took to these people like she had known them all her life. She even jumped up on the son's lap and our doodle just doesn't do that to people she doesn't know. I would definitely use this lady again to watch our dog.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have had both dogs and cats throughout the years. I currently have two dogs of my own that I care for every day, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that animals need. I’m experienced in caring for animals and have some experience with basic dog training. I’m no Cesar Millan, but I can certainly work with dogs on commands such as sit, stay, and other basic behaviors. I genuinely care about the comfort and well-being of animals. I even built an air-conditioned doghouse for my own pup because I wanted to make sure he had a comfortable place to relax in Florida’s heat. One of my greatest strengths is being able to recognize that animals depend on us to understand their needs, even though they can’t tell us what’s wrong. I try to put myself in their paws, pay attention to their behavior, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I live and work on my farm, which allows me to be readily available throughout the day to care for the precious fur babies entrusted to me. Because I’m right here on the property, I can provide regular attention, supervision, playtime, and care without the limitations of having to leave for an outside job. I have crates available if that’s what your dog is comfortable with, as well as air-conditioned doghouses and a large, securely fenced yard. I also have 10 acres of property where your dog can enjoy plenty of space to explore and roam with supervision. I have two friendly dogs of my own who would love having some new friends to play and spend time with. It’s truly a little doggy paradise! 🐾
About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs, cats, and livestock and have experience as a vet tech. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! I work from home October through April so have plenty of time to drop in to care for your animals. I also enjoy walking so would love to have you baby tag along for that. Currently have three dogs that go on two walks a day and have outside play time. I would treat your fur baby like it was my own, and of course send you plenty of pictures/videos.
“April 23 - 23, 2026 Once again, Wayne's dog sitting was on point!! I received daily updates via pictures of how my boy, Bear, was doing. Like I said before, I would highly recommend Wayne as a perfect dog sitter. Wayne has officially become my go-to dog sitter. Thanks again.”
“Marie provided excellent care for my two pups. They are like my children and I don't trust them to anyone. They were loved and slept on comfy beds. No cages, plenty of space to run and play. Plus,plenty of love.”
“Highly recommend!! I had a last minute trip and Mrs Damaris was so sweet for taking care of my fur baby☺️. 10/10 recommend this sitter and I will definitely be back again.”
“Vlasta was great with our fur baby. We could tell that she was comfortable staying with Vlasta because she went right for the toys. Received pictures & videos while we were away.”
“I can’t say it enough! Raquel is a sweetheart. She took the best care for our Pepper! I know during holidays it’s so hard to look for a good sitter to take care of our beloved dog! Pepper is very picky and needs special care but thank God i found Raquel! Thank you so much for accepting us during these busy times. From the bottom of our hearts. Hope she will take care of Pepper again if we need it. She is highly recommended!”
“Such a great little family and space. I could see in the check in messaging how relaxed and stress free my dog was during the whole visit. Very relaxing environment. When you book with a kennel or even people who have several dogs they are either watching or personally own and it can get really stressful for your pup. Not with this crew though. Thank you all so much. Will use again and highly recommend (although part of me just wants to keep them for ourselves 🤣💕🙏).”
“This was our first time using this Rover app so we were very pleased when Mary scheduled a "meet and greet" before our trip to get to know us and our dog Savanna. She and her husband are very professional and asked questions I didn't even think to ask. During our trip she sent us daily texts updating us on Savanna's status.”
“Sary did an excellent job taking care my cat, I went to winter haven to take my son to Legoland and Sary took care of Bootsie and she was so flexible with the schedule and very sweet with our furry friend. I 100% recommend her.”
About: Since the day I was born we’ve had four legged friends running around, so I consider myself somewhat of a dog whisperer! My love for our puppy pals extends to pets of all sizes. I have experience with fur babies from 2 pounds to 150 pounds, and I've been watching pups for about 9 years now! We all know every dog is different with different needs and I’m here to cater to all of them! If you have an adventurous energetic excited baby, a tired sleepy couch potato, or maybe right in the middle, I’m the girl for you. I’m a proud mama of a German Shepard, Basenji pup, and 2 kitties, so rest assured your babes will be treated like my very own!! ❤️ I am a part-time student at FGCU with lots of time for scheduled walks, impromptu sitting, or even a just a quick visit to go potty. When it comes to care, your instructions are what counts! I am an excellent leash handler and schedule follower, whether its a walk or a stay in home I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for you and your fur babies!
“Susan was absolutely AMAZING with my baby!! I could tell right away that he was in such good hands, and she went above and beyond in ways I honestly wasn’t even expecting. She had the cutest little sign made for him, groomed him, and even sent him home with the sweetest little gift bag and a handwritten note card!! 🥹💗 It was all of the little thoughtful touches that really meant so much to me. She treated him like he was her own and kept me updated, which made being away from him so much easier. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals and how much care she puts into what she does. I’m SO happy I found Susan and would absolutely trust her with my baby again!! She is seriously the sweetest and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much girly!!🙏💛💛”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avon Park
Daniel has watched our dog several times now and has been terrific with her. I can tell when we drop her off that Izzy is always happy to see Daniel and does not shy away from him, as though she were afraid or uncomfortable in any way, which are signs that I watch for when boarding my dog. Daniel has always been helpful, has always responded quickly when texting him and even though we could probably find someone closer to us, we prefer to have Daniel watch Izzy.

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.
93% of sitters in Avon Park 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 Avon Park 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 Avon Park.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Avon Park 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.
