“Iris was amazing! We usually leave our pup Walter with a family friend, but she was unavailable this time. Immediately, from the moment I contacted Iris, I felt comfortable. She was so kind and responsive throughout the entire process. It is obvious she loves animals and treats the pets she watches with so much love. When we picked up Walter, he was happy, not nervous or stressed, and definitely seemed to have an amazing stay! Totally recommend Iris!”
“Jada was so great and attentive towards our boy. No one was willing to take a chance and watch him. He is a barker and it takes him a while to warm up to people and other dogs. We had a last minute trip, and Jada took him in with no problem. We had daily pictures and videos, and she even got him to socialize with her other pets! We couldn't be more happy, thank you Jada!”
“Gabriela is totally awesome, she took excellent care of my two dogs for three and a half days and sent me awesome vids and updates throughout the entire time of them playing in the yard. Highly recommend her to pet sit, thank you some much!”
“My puppy is very happy and sleepy today thanks to the fun he had with Carlos and Claudia. The facility is impeccable and customized in so many ways to be safe and fun for dogs. They were very accommodating of my schedule and very patient with my rambunctious puppy. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Yasmin took such great care of my fur baby while I was away! She kept up with his schedule perfectly, followed my guidelines for his care and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When we reunited, he was in such great spirits and acted like he had an amazing little vacation of his own. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! She was friendly and welcoming right from the start, and Lily was very well cared for. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lily was happy and doing well. It was clear that Lily was in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and would gladly use her services again!”
“Jeanette was the best. She took our fur baby last minute. We were able to have a meet and greet the day before and everything went super smooth. Her dogs are super nice and chill. Aurum definitely enjoyed his staycation. I strongly recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“We boarded Theo our 1 yr old KCS with Mary and came back to a very happy and confident dog! We would definitely recommend. Mary kept contact through videos and photos which alleviated any concerns.”
“Kirsten provided Betty Boop with the perfect home away from home for our pup. She sent us daily photos and updates. We weren’t sure that she would want to come back home! We can’t thank her enough!!”
About: I have been around all and taken care of all sizes, ages and temperaments of dogs for years!! They are the absolute best! As a dog mom myself I understand the difficulty of trusting and finding someone to take care of my pal if I’m not able to. I know how important it is to find the right person that will give them the loving care our dogs deserve! I can provide that peace of mind!!! I am an elementary school teacher with tons of scheduling flexibility and love taking care of dogs! Walking dogs and the excitement their energy brings is a daily must! I have a big back yard and one older and very friendly Blue Heeler. We love to sit outside any chance we get and go on multiple walks a day. I do have a runner for our yard if certain dogs enjoy running around too. I can easily crate your dog if that is something you are interested in. I have a nice open house that your dog can roam freely. Any additional specific instructions you may have I will follow!
About: Hello! I love dogs, and have been around them my entire life. I have a shepherd-terrier mix that will make friends with even the most stubborn of dogs. She will either play with yours for hours on end, or nap to contentment with your older loves. I have an unfenced yard, so I’m happy to take for extra walks if your dog is prone to adventuring! I work from home for the most part, so I’m free to keep your pet company all day. Last minute is always fine, I know life gets in the way sometimes, and your pet will be happy and safe in a home away from home! Please let me know if there are any medical issues, if the dog is still potty training, or any other accommodations that may be needed. I would love to watch your dog!
“Meredith was amazing!! You can tell she loves pets and takes wonderful care of her guests! She sent lots of pictures and made me feel at ease leaving my senior pug. I would recommend Meredith to anyone needing care for their furbabies and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Estelle was wonderful with our dog. Knowing our dog was in her care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’d gladly have Estelle watch our dog again. Thank you, Estelle!”
About: I give to each pet. I take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience working with both energetic puppies (including basic training, potty breaks, and positive reinforcement) as well as senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication, or extra patience. I’m also attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they’re my own—lots of love, play, and cuddles included! 🐾 I’m currently a bartender so I can work with you to create a schedule that suits your needs. I’m usually available Tuesday through Sunday to make it easier on you. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with a dog park, dog washing station, and free treats all throughout the complex. It’s clean and friendly.
About: A dog lover for as long as I can remember, I currently own one young pup after recently losing my two senior girls. I know how daunting it can be to imagine leaving your beloved animal with anyone other than you. The anxiety and stress that comes with making sure your dog is safe and cared for while you’re not able to is no joke, and I take the honor very seriously. I volunteered at the humane society as a canine coach for over 5 years and assisted with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperament, and need. I am experienced in senior dogs, and giving medication if needed. My oldest girl was a diabetic and I adhered strictly to her schedule and dosages. I will respect all of the directions and wishes of care for your furry friend as if they were my own. Dogs know dog people, and dogs are my people! I am an entrepreneur at heart. I own 2 small businesses, one of which is my sourdough bakery I run out of my home, but I am single with no children and big goals so I thought I’d merge my love of animals with the possibility to make some extra money. I work mostly from home, with only my regular weekly dog walks which don’t last longer than 3 hours so I am always able to get home every few hours. I am a true homebody and enjoy spending my free time relaxing at home with my dogs. If I am watching the animals in my home, I have several areas in my home that can be separated if need be. My puppy is put in a gated area whenever I am not home. Depending on the care instructions for your pet, I have various crates, gated areas, or if they are able to be out free while I’m away they will be (as long as everyone gets along and they aren’t damaging my property). I have a small fenced yard for quick potty breaks and a quiet safe neighborhood we walk daily. If your animal is staying in your home, I will follow the directions specific to care in your home as you tell me.

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.
96% of sitters in Carnestown 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 Carnestown 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 Carnestown.
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 Carnestown 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.
