“Anna and her husband were so kind and I am very grateful for taking my pooch in on a last minute visit. Thank you for the daily updates/pictures. It was nice knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Elizabeth was so sweet and attentive with Magnum! He had an amazing time at her house, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Jack and Jordan are amazing! They responded promptly to my booking request, and were very conscientious from the beginning. When we dropped our dogs off, my Goldendoodle looked back over his shoulder at me like “this is so cool- thanks mom!” It was more like taking my dog to camp than boarding them. J&J’s house is comfy and yard is spacious. They sent really cute photos r reinforcing the idea that the dogs were having more fun than we were. Highly recommend and would trust with our pets any time.”
“I highly recommend Logan. Our dog was happy from the time we dropped him off all the way through to us picking him up. We were nervous because we had never done this before, but we are so happy with how our dog was taken care of.”

I typically leave home around 10:30 and get back around 4, Mon-Thur. your fur baby will get lots of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have dog crates here already, and some toys! My cat will be hiding, so your baby will get lots of love!
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
About: I have been around and caring for dogs my entire life. Dogs have always been an important part of my family, and I understand how much they mean to their owners. Over the years, I have gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I know that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each one and make them feel comfortable and at home. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, care, and companionship. When your dog stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like a member of the family and cared for with the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. My wife and I are both retired, so we are home most of the day and night. Your dog will have plenty of companionship and won't be left alone for long periods. We treat every dog like part of the family and will follow their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs. Your dog will stay in a clean, comfortable home with a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play. I take the time to learn each dog's personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priority.
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. From energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, I provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I understand how much our dogs mean to us, so you can count on me to treat yours with the same love, respect, and care I'd want for my own. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to fit your furry family members into my schedule. Can't wait to meet your best friends! I will care for your animals, in your home/yard, and follow all guidelines you have, to keep your animals happy and safe! I'm happy to provide pictures during their playtime and care, as well as any other communication.
“Cherie was awesome! Thank you!! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and we could see our furry baby Luna totally felt that. She sent us updates and pictures every day, which made it super easy to relax and know Luna was being loved and cared for while we were out of town. Super sweet, quick to respond, and just really took great care of our girl. Highly recommend!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Bruce 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 Bruce 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 Bruce.
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 Bruce. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Bruce 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.
