“I have had Bailey stay with Tifany and her family a couple of times, and each time she has ensured that Bailey felt right at home with her other pups! Tifany makes sure her home is clean and dog friendly. Tifany has an outdoor area also ready for the dogs to play and have fun. If they get dirty, Tifany washes them so they come home clean as well as exhausted. She communicates regularly throughout your dog’s stay with pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Tifany and her husband!”
“Janelle was super responsive and accommodating. I was driving from Georgia to get something’s done in Ocala. Unfortunately, I was unable to leave our two pups at home. She was willing to take them in with less than 24 hours notice. Every message was responded to within a couple of minutes, if not seconds!”
“Dolly loves going to Brianna's house. She always looks forward to playing with the other dogs who live there, as well as other house guests. She comes back happy and content. Dolly and I both love Brianna and Nancy!”
“Gage and Annie did an awesome job taking care of our two pups! They provided updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using them again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would always help take care of my animals with my mother. I used to live on a farm and I have had experience with many different pets/animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and small animals. I also have experience with bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and expressing anal glands. I can also administer medications. This is my full time job so I can do my very best to accommodate anyone who needs a pet sitter who truly cares about their pets. My wife and daughters help me sometimes as well. Our daughters are also knowledgeable in pet care from getting hands on experience through me. My wife just come with me every where I stay for Moral support. 💕 I have a fully privacy fenced in yard. If the pet is in a home without fence I will be sure to leash walk your pet for safety reasons. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate feel free to bring it. Also if there is a special toy, bed or something they enjoy or prefer they can bring it along for their stay.
About: I have adored dogs since I was a little girl and truly believe they have the purest hearts of any creature on earth. Growing up, I was surrounded by four dogs of all different sizes, which taught me early on how to care for a pack and appreciate every unique personality. I don't discriminate when it comes to breeds. To me, a dog's genuine, nonjudgmental, and loving nature is what matters most. My empathy for animals runs deep, and my goal is to give every pup the love they deserve. I currently have a sweet Corgi (a wonderful gift from my daughter!), but my heart has always been dedicated to shelter pups and making sure every dog feels safe and understood. I bring endless patience, empathy, and a lifetime of hands on experience to every dog I welcome into my home. Because I am fully retired, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to what truly makes me happy: spending my days with dogs! Pet care isn't just something I fit into my day; it is my day. Your pet will rarely be left alone. Whether it's morning cuddles, afternoon play sessions in the background, keeping me company while I cook, or just relaxing together in our home, I am home full-time to provide constant companionship, supervision, and all the undivided attention they could ever want. I’ve set up my home to be as safe and comfortable for dogs as possible. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Inside, it’s cozy, completely dog friendly, and a child free environment. I really just want your dog to feel like they are relaxing in their own home. Your pup will also have my friendly resident Corgi to keep them company. To make sure the dogs don't overheat during the hot afternoons, my husband and I take them out for walks in the evening once it has cooled down. We live right next to a trailhead that is perfect for these evening strolls. I am always patient with new arrivals and will pay close attention to their behavior, adapting to whatever they need so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved the moment they arrive.
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.

I’m dependable, attentive to instructions, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, or simply giving them plenty of company and affection. As a mom and pet owner, I’m used to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the little details. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pet. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions and routines, keep pets supervised, and provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Candler
Sandra was fantastic with my four Yorkies! This was their first time staying with her, and she did a great job making them comfortable and letting them adjust at their own pace. One of mine is especially shy and attached to me, and I really appreciated how patient and understanding she was with him. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which was really reassuring and let me enjoy my day without worrying about how they were doing. Managing four little dogs as a pack can be a handful, but she handled them wonderfully. I’m very happy with how everything went and would absolutely trust Sandra with them again. It’s great knowing I now have someone nearby I feel comfortable leaving them with. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Candler 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.
