“Being our first time little our little pups for the first time, we were quite nervous and worried about leaving them for the day in a new environment. We were very quickly put as easy with Karla's amazing, calm and caring nature and obvious genuine love of animals. Our dogs took to her straight away and not only were ok for the day, but had an associate blast with Karla and her little Coco. She sent us updates, photos and videos that made us feel beyond at ease, but so happy that our little ones were having a great time! ☺️ We are delighted to have Karla as an amazing person to look after our pooches at times we need to be away in the future as we know they will have the best care and it actually be an enjoyable, fun adventure for them! Cannot recommend and thank Karla enough for her brilliant care and genuine love and gift she has for animals ☺️?”
“We highly recommend Francisca. Our dog, Buddy had the best time with her. My children mentioned how calm Buddy was when we picked him up.(I don’t have to tell you other dog owners what a relief that is;). Francisca communicated well and sent pictures! Definitely plan to use her services again. Five Stars!”
About: Growing up I cared for many pets and always wanted to be a veterinarian. Now that my children are older I can finally care for more pets again. This is another way I can do that and help some families out as well! I would love to be there person your family can rely on to help care for your fur babies while you’re away! I live right next to a park and would love to go for walks, play in my large fenced in back yard, or play in the park. I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours 🥰 Currently a stay a home mom I feel like this would be perfect for me and my kids. I would love to use these times as an opportunity to also show them how to care for and be responsible for when it comes to having their own pets. My yard is completely fenced in, and there is plenty of space for your fur baby to run free, outside and inside, and still be safe and secure!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and can’t imagine a home without them. Caring for dogs—whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship—comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. My background as a mental health therapist has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to read nonverbal cues—helping me understand a dog’s body language and needs. I’m reliable, safety-focused, and affectionate, and I always keep pet parents updated with check-ins and photos daily. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priority. I work from home, so pets are never alone while I’m caring for them. I can provide feedings, extra attention, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a large gated and secured backyard where your furbaby will get to go daily to get the exercise they need. I make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. In my home, spaces are secure and pet-friendly, with plenty of playtime and cozy spots to relax.

About: I promise to treat your sweet fur baby as if it were on of my own. I am the proud mom of two wonderful shih-tzus. Lilly is 7 and Benji is 2. I have been pet-sitting for family since I was 10 years old. We recently moved away from family so now I have time to welcome your pups into my Florida family!

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience. All dogs must be bathed before sitting, and your home must be clean and sanitary including any bedding, sheets, towels I may be using, and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them and your home to be cleaned up and sanitary while I am in your home, just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe, taken care of, and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be supplied upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies or any cleaning supplies. I also will not pet sit at your home if there are any people/family members there. I pet sit alone and I do not require or need assistance due to my experience. Upon arrival, if I find any of my rules stated not up to standard, I most likely will reach out to rover for help if I am not comfortable staying in an unclean environment. Thank you for your understanding! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bartow commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
