“Erica is simply fantastic. One of our dogs has medical issues and requires extra TLC, which Erica so graciously accommodates. She keeps us informed and sends us adorable pictures while they're in her care. When we come to pick them up, they are happy to see us but not overly anxious to leave. We feel very confident that our fur babies are in excellent hands when they're with Erica. She's the best!”
“This is the 2nd time Baby has stayed with Cathy. We are so happy to have found her! She is incredibly attentive to him and keeps us updated on how he’s doing while we’re away. He seems relaxed when we pick him up and he was excited to see her the 2nd time so we knew he had a good visit! Being that he 12, we are always worried when we leave. With Cathy, we never worry about him! Thank you Cathy!”
“Brittany provided spectacular care for our pet, Griffin. The home is very accommodating. Griffin responded immediately to the kindness and attentiveness shown him. We are very pleased. Will definitely use them again.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dan and Terry. They keep us posted. They send us pictures and they love on our boys. Our two little guys like to go there. Their patient and understanding and we already have them booked again.”
About: I've had a pet in the house since childhood. Dogs, cats, birds, fish. However, dogs have always been there. I've had many occasions to petsit for friends, family and my neighbors. I'll treat your dog as my own. My dog Theo generally prefers dogs his size or smaller. So around 50# is a good fit. I am a retired firefighter (pet first aid training) and at home most of the day with exception of errands, gym, shopping and other typical day activities. Your pet will get plenty of attention and playtime inside and out. My backyard is totally fenced in, so it's safe and secure. I make sure not to have any toxic plants in the house or in the yard. I only use pet-safe products for lawn and garden. I have one dog, an 11 year old Goldendoodle that loves other dogs, large and small. I've had a pet in my home most of my life.
“Alexis took good care of our dog Benji. She provided pictures, updates and was quick to respond with communication. Felt reassured that our dog was in good hands while we were away.”
“Briannon took great care of Jimin during his 5 nights stay. She is definitely the best you can get for dog care - communicative caring and just made everything super easy. I loved the daily updates and pictures she sent. As a bonus her dog is super friendly and it was nice knowing my dog had a good friend to hang out with”
“Jessica was just amazing! My dog loved her and her fur babies!! She was exactly the perfect fit for my older sometimes grumpy girl. Jessica was easy to communicate with in the app. and very responsive. Overall, the best experience and I felt she far exceeded my expectations as this was my first Rover pet experience. Highly recommend her!!”
“Skylar is amazing!!! Went above and beyond for us, and she took great care of my boy. Excellent communication and flexibility. Definitely had peace of mind with her and will book again. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel and his family were GREAT! Daniel had a system for introductioning the dogs. He was completely alert to all the dogs and their postering/behavior for everyones safety! Once everyone was settled he sent pics letting me know that Phin fit right in and just having a blast. He sent a few more throughout the weekend just to keep updated on his stay. I can say Phin had SO MUCH FUN that he slept for a good portion of the 9 hour drive home! I would definitely recommend Daniel! In addition Daniel’s home has a fenced in backyard and is located just off 275 and very close to downtown St. Pete. I would definitely recommend Daniel and will call on him again if I’m back in the area. ?”
“Tracy was amazing with Riggs and I felt so comfortable being away for work knowing that my boy was being well taken care of. She thoroughly reviewed all the notes I left her.”
“Kathy is a gem and Banksy made a new friend with my boy Chubbs. Chubbs was very happy and engaged which means he truly was loved on. Think we found our permanent sitter.”
“Gunner had the best week with Arielle and his new buddy Dune…Arielle kept me updated through out his stay while I was traveling and I could tell she really enjoyed hosting my dog. Would definitely use again and highly recommend !”
“We had never been away from Buck for two weeks before, but we didn’t worry because he was in the best possible hands with Leigh. She sent us updates and photos frequently, and I could tell he was happy. When I picked him up, I’m not so sure he wanted to go home! I’m so grateful to have found Leigh and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Pines
We couldn't have asked for better caregivers for our two dogs! They are kind, patient, and considerate. You can tell that they really do love pets! Our boys got spoiled with toys and lots of affection. We got updates throughout the day on how the dogs were doing and how much they were enjoying their time. That helped us enjoy our vacation knowing that our boys were in good hands. Also, the backyard is amazing, lots of room to run and areas to explore. Angela and Kenny were flexible with me and my schedule. They made the whole experience stress-free. I'm very grateful for that!
Bailey and her Wonderful Lovely, Loving Family are just that ✨💖 My pups want to go back ❣️ All is so clean and taken care of Top Knox❣️ Bailey sent updates and photos 😁 was up to date on all communication and concerns. She keeps her clients one on one family so she is always able to tend to needs. Again, We are so Very Thankful for Bailey and Her Awesome, Loving Family. Kai and Tia will be so Happy to play and be with their friends again 🐶🐕🦺❤️
We were visiting Florida and needed a place for Oscar a 10lb Biewer Terrier for 2 nights Oscar is the baby of our family. Marianne & Chris were great , their Two dogs were friendly towards Oscar and he was allowed to sleep with them as part of the family. Thank you both for looking after him so well
Our Shih Pooh Harper’s first vacation away and he came home ready for a long nap! No issues. He’s happy to be back home as you would expect, but I think he was looking around our house today for his new friends. I think we’ll find another weekend adventure and send him to stay with Brian and Betty Ann again.
First time using Rover so I was a little nervous but I had a great experience with Jessica watching my dog Walden. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and made md feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Walden had an amazing time, especially getting to play with her dogs, which was a huge bonus. It was clear he was happy, well taken care of, and getting plenty of attention. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, and I could tell Walden felt right at home. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
I had a great experience boarding my dogs with her for 4 days and 3 nights. She was incredibly kind and welcoming, and her whole family made my dogs feel at home. Her two teenagers and husband were very helpful, and my dogs especially adored her daughter — she let them sleep with her, which really helped them feel comfortable and secure. She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It truly felt like my dogs were treated as part of the family. I would absolutely recommend her and would not hesitate to book with her again!

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.
95% of sitters in Bay Pines 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 Bay Pines 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 Bay Pines.
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 Bay Pines. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Bay Pines 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.
