“I had an emergency situation and Ashton came to my dog and my rescue and picked my dog up in the late evening hours. She kept him safe and fed and loved. I cannot thank her enough for the extra time she put into my pup! She even took him to McDonald's for a road trip.”
“Aurora was amazing! I felt very comfortable, leaving my pup with her for a weekend, stay! Very dog friendly home and she keeps them entertained and active! Really enjoyed that she provides multiple daily updates and pictures. Would recommend to anyone needing boarding or sitting services!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brittany and the exceptional care she provided for our dog, Bella, while we were away for a week following our son's high school graduation. From the moment we met Brittany, it was clear that she is both knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Bella is a senior dog with specific needs, including medication, and Brittany handled everything with confidence, compassion, and attention to detail. Throughout our trip, Brittany kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Bella was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. Brittany and her family truly treated Bella as one of their own. Coming home to a relaxed, happy dog confirmed what we already knew—we had found someone special. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Brittany and will absolutely trust her with Bella during future vacations. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and experienced pet sitter.”
“What a Godsend! She texted me pics of him every day to let me know how he was doing, and he is happy & well cared for. Will definitely book with Valerie again.”
“Daniela was the best one could hope for. Very welcoming. Very prompt and communicative. Took wonderful care of my little one and sent lots of great pictures. Very highly recommend.”
“Barb was absolutely a wonderful dog sitter! Our Labradoodle Ziggi was well taken care of and had a great time with her. Barb was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed daily with pictures about how Ziggi was doing. We had an unexpected family emergency and had to fly out on Thanksgiving day which was already stressful and Barb made it so much easier and was very accommodating. Knowing that Ziggi would be taken care of took a lot of stress away from our trip. We would definitely use Barb again to dog sit Ziggi.”

“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.
“This was the first time we ever left our dog so I was a little nervous. Alex's other dogs are very sweet and they got along fine. Alex sent me text and pictures, sometimes twice a day! They went on walks, to the beach, she spoiled our girl rotten! Very appreciate, would highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of both small and large pets, as well as aggressive breeds. I am also familiar with administering medicine to animals as I grew up with several pets that had medical needs. Additionally, in college, I fostered a dog for the first time. I absolutely loved the experience and it made me more familiar with rescue animals and their tendencies. Please keep in mind that I have a 14 year old Australian Terrier (like Todo from the Wizard of Oz) at home should you request boarding. She is very easy going with other dogs, but I kindly ask that other pets be the same. I am a college student who is currently home for the summer. I have a remote internship online and can be very flexible with my schedule in order to care for your furry friends! I understand that our pets are members of our families and deserve all the attention and care we can possibly give them. I take this to heart and do my best to ensure they are well cared for so that you may enjoy your time away, without worry. With that said, I am respectful of the fact that you are entrusting me with your pet and your home. It is my top priority to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe with the situation.

“Sierra and her children were fantastic. They took great care of my boys and kept us updated everyday with messages and pictures of their wellbeing. She has a very beautiful and clean house, that gave us a lot of comfort knowing that my dogs would be in a clean and well organized environment at all times. My wife and I highly recommend Sierra for your pet boarding needs. Thank you Sierra and kids for your loving care and kindness.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
