“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job watching Wall-E and Eva. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. Communication was excellent—she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was appreciated. The dogs looked comfortable and well cared for the entire time. When I picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly had been looked after. Her place is clean and dog friendly. Vanessa was dependable and she takes the responsibility of ensuring your pets comfort seriously. I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time the need arises.”
“Kayla and family are what you look for when trying to find someone to board your dog. They are dog lovers and have a fenced in backyard, so there's plenty of room for multiple dogs to chase geckos and each other. Will book again.”
“Carl and Nancy treated Bleu like family! He had an amazing time playing with their pups, and I could tell he was well cared for during his stay. They were incredibly flexible and understanding with drop-off and pick-up times. Pictures were sent to me through out the stay. Their home offers plenty of space indoors and outdoors for play and relaxation, and Bleu had no issues with separation at drop-off. I highly recommend Carl and Nancy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving provider for their fur baby. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”
“Marie is incredible! She sent so many great pictures and videos of my girls having a great time. She followed feeding and medication instructions properly and provided updates every day. My girls had a BLAST!”

“John was extremely accommodating and made Brady feel right at home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Brady was in such great care. John kept me updated, treated Brady like family, and made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely trust him to watch Brady again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated my dogs like they were hers. I could genuinely feel the motherly love. lol. I for sure would rebook with Mya if possible. She went above and beyond and I could tell my dogs miss her.”
“This is my frenchies second home. Leandro and Sarahi always provide daily updates with pictures and videos. I will never look anywhere else. Thank you Leandro and Sarahi.”
“Absolutely outstanding from start to finish! From the moment we booked, communication was excellent. Throughout our dog’s stay, we received frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our boy was not only safe but genuinely loved and cared for like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Briana is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our fur babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! She was willing to adjust her routine to accommodate their habits as closely as we had at our home which meant a lot to us. When we came back home after our vacation our pets were very happy.Overall we were happy and would book with her again!”
“Carl & Linda were amazing! They sent me pics of my pup and had really great communication. My pup was super happy when I picked him up. If I could give them 6 out of 5 stars, I would 🙂”

“Tracy was truly amazing! Left her with my dog for 12 days and she updated me with messages and pictures everyday. I was stressed as this was my first time booking a petsitter and I’m so happy it was with Tracy! I could tell my dog was happy and treated well. She was very loved during her and will definitely be booking again for future trips! Highly recommend Tracy!”

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 Christmas 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 Christmas 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 Christmas.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Christmas 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.
