“Absolutely fantastic experience! Rebecca is reliable, caring, and treated our dog like their own. Communication was excellent, and I loved receiving updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in such good hands. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
About: I am a CPDT I’m trained in understanding dog body language and know what your dogs need I monitor your dogs all day. I train puppies and will accommodate to your training requests. I also teach agility classes and tricks classes. I have a really nice dog of my own that loves to do agility as well. You can talk to me about what tricks and agility you would like your dogs to know, if this is something that you would like. Your dogs will have a nice playmate as well but I also understand if they need to play by themselves. I am also able to administer meds if needed. Your pups are in great hands and will not be bored at all. I work from home and will have time to train and play with your dogs. I will also be able to bath your pups if wanted or needed but only for dogs that like being bathed I have a fenced in yard that is big and has a separate agility area to train in. They will have rest times and ac or heating depending on the weather. They will also have water at all times I also have a really friendly dog that is trained to do Service dog work and he is super friendly to all dogs and he is a big boy but friendly.
“Judith had taken care of my puppy over the holidays after my previous dog sitter canceled last minute. She was extremely flexible in many aspects responding within minutes. I received photos and videos updates consistently throughout the week. She has great energy and is a true dog lover :)”
“Yara and her family were so friendly and Oreo fit in well with her crew. She sent pics throughout the stay and kept us updated and was extremely responsive for dropoff and pickup.”
“This was our first time to ever leave our dog for more than a day so we were worried how he would adjust. However, it went splendidly with Zai and her family! She eased my worries with photos of Fraser happily hanging with them and Zai gave me regular updates. It is comforting to know we have a second home for him so maybe we will travel more!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have 8 years of experience caring for my own cats and fostering cats, along with 2 years of experience working as a veterinary technician. This has given me hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including those who need a little extra patience and attention. As an aspiring veterinarian, I'm passionate about animal health, safety, and well-being. My veterinary background has helped me recognize when something may be wrong, administer care and medications responsibly, and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away! I care for my cats every day. They get fed, have all day access water, and their litter boxes get scooped twice per day. I have many cat toys and cat beds. There is also space for a small dog to run around and play. I have extra bowls and beds and blankets for them to sleep on as well. I can house your cat or small dog in a separate room from the rest of the house and can even crate them in a comfortable extra large dog crate if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard, but I am more than happy to put your little friend on a leash and walk around the yard or the quiet neighborhood.
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering at the tallahassee animal shelter for over a year now and it has taught me how to take care of all different kinds of dogs (medical, puppies, even the blind!) I have also been a dog mom to my own 3 doggies for years :) I am a student and that makes my schedule extremely flexible to be able to give your dogs the time they deserve! I am available most week days from 1-10pm, and can also make a drop by before 8am classes or during my breaks through the day :) I have a fenced in yard at my house but also enjoy walking my dogs as much as possible because my dogs love to sniff and see all the new things- I hope to be able to do the same with your dogs
“Amazing host. Communicating as much as you need! Extremely kind, caring, and will go the extra mile just to help out. Definitely someone we will use for our future trips and even to visit the dogs because of the good time spent.”
About: I've grown up with a bunch of dogs and also have walked my neighbors dogs in the past. I've had all the dogs you could imagine; big dogs, small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, energetic, lazy! You name it, I've taken care of it! I'm currently working part time in the summer so I would have loads of time to take care of your pups! I'm free basically every day before 10:30 am and past 2 pm! I am very flexible with my time so I could be at your home as little or as much as your puppies need. I will provide much love, care, or exercise for your doggies.
About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
“Byron is the best! He always takes great care of my dogs. They get plays, cuddles, and great interaction. Byron is really great at responding and is super patient if things arise. Highly recommend as a dog momma of 3!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family for years now and figured it’s time to branch out the business. I live alone, have a large back yard and a nice park nearby my house. I would pet sit at times when I am available to and take on pets in a manner that makes logistical sense for me and my schedule. I check on them and look for any signs of obvious discomfort or distress. Make sure they have time to use the bathroom/clean litter box and water. Most animals will try and communicate to you what they need, so it’s good to follow the routines they have at home and interpret what they need and at what time.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs and a cat at home and even raised a puppy and a kitten, so I know the patience, care, and attention they need. From playful pups and kittens to senior dogs and cats, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. Whether it’s energetic walks or gentle care, I’m here to provide top-notch attention for your furry friend! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit in plenty of walks and playtime throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and exercise they need! I provide attentive and personalized care in your home. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment, sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Capitola
I couldn’t be happier with Hanqing! From start to finish, she was incredibly attentive, loving, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated throughout with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Chuchu came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for, so comfortable and content, it was obvious how much attention and love she received. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful care and kindness Hanqing showed. We feel so lucky to have her taken care of Chuchu!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Capitola 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 Capitola.
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.
You and your Capitola 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.
