“Maria was just wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone. She had my boy for a week and took the best care of him. I was at ease during my travels knowing that he was in good hands. Best boarding experience ever for my pup.”
About: I’ve always had a great love for animals! Growing up with three dogs and three cats taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also helped bring displaced dogs from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States to find loving homes. Along with cats and dogs, I’m familiar with caring for other animals, including guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes and enjoy providing walks, playtime, baths, and plenty of love and attention. I also have six years of experience as a nationally registered pharmacy technician, which taught me the importance of following medication instructions carefully and watching for potential side effects. Please share any medication or injection needs beforehand so we can discuss whether I can provide the appropriate care. I’m available Monday through Friday after 4:30 p.m., with early morning walks also possible, and all day and overnight on weekends. My husband and I coordinate our work schedules so your pet can receive more frequent attention and companionship. For boarding, pets are typically alone for no more than 4–6 hours at a time. We’ll confirm our schedules before booking to ensure we can meet your pet’s needs. I’m easy to reach and happy to follow your pet’s routine and specific care instructions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full time, but I make time before and after work for attentive care, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible with pet sitting in your home and happy to discuss a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. For boarding, my husband and I coordinate our schedules so pets are typically alone for no more than 4–6 hours at a time. I’ll confirm availability and time away before each booking to make sure we’re a good fit for your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and make sure doors are securely locked after arriving and leaving. During walks, I’ll keep your pet leashed and maintain a safe distance from unfamiliar animals. I’ll also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“I have never left our dogs with anyone other than family. My pugs were well cared for during their stay and Nytza was very responsive and caring, sending some pics and letting me know they were alright. Appreciate the into and will definitely ask for her assistance in the future! Thank you, Nytza!”
“Mariana was fantastic with Speedy!! She was very helpful, caring and provided great feedback while she had Speedy, was very responsive and took such great & loving care of her. I look forward to having her sit again soon ❤️”
“Lindsey was amazing treated my 3 dogs like her own. They had such a good time and were exhausted when they got home. Lindsey sent daily pics and videos so we could see them playing and having great time. Would highly recommend.”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“Very happy and satisfied with the care she gave my pet. I would recommend her to anyone whose is looking for a really good pet caregiver. I will use her services again in the near future.”
“My dogs always have a great time with Patsy. She loves them and cares for them like they're her own. My senior dog takes multiple medications and requires extra care, and Patsy has the experience and huge heart to care for even the most fragile, older dog like mine. She is wonderful! Thanks, Patsy! :)”
“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!”
“Ms. Christine took such great care of Blue while I was away. Christine was adapted to my travel schedule with her availability as well as sent pictures and videos of Blue enjoying himself during his stay. Will definitely book again”
“Thanks a lot for looking after Max during our vacation at Cocoa Beach. Drop off and pick up was easy. Melissa sent us updates and pics throughout Max’s stay. Really enjoy it”
About: I am a retired CVT with over 25 years of experience in small animals, emergency medicine, and teaching future veterinary technician students. I retired 5 years ago and began traveling. Both myself and my husband have been pet sitting full time all over the country. We are home in Florida for an extended amount of time and wanted to expand our services locally. I am comfortable giving medications. It is important to us to maintain a consistent stress-free experience for both the pet owner as well as your family member. I am retired so my schedule is open. I do provide pet sitting via another site so I tend to book up quickly from there. I prefer when pet sitting in clients homes that they provide me with their expectations. For cats I do prefer inside cats only because I don’t want to be responsible if your indoor/outdoor cat doesn’t come home.
“Lori is professional, courteous and extremely responsive. I received pictures daily of activities and on goings with my dog. I have never boarded my 15 year old senior maltipoo before and Lori's care put me at ease while I was away. I love the service she offers of picking up and dropping off which allowed my to deal with the chaos I had to prior to helping a family member move to another state! I highly recommend her and already have her booked again real soon!”
“Not sure Zoey wanted to come she loved her stay so much! So thankful for Crystal, Tim and family for taking such amazing care of Zoey and for all the pictures they sent of Zoey enjoying her time with them. Will definitely book with them again.”

Maria was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies, Bailee and Brynlee! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Maria went above and beyond to make sure our girls were happy, comfortable, and spoiled. She kept us updated throughout their stay and sent us the sweetest pictures, which meant so much to us while we were away. She took them on walks, brushed their teeth, brushed them, gave them lots of love and attention, and even let them sleep with her! She also gave them homemade peanut butter and pumpkin treats that her dad made, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! It was obvious that Bailee and Brynlee were getting so much love and attention while they were staying with her. Maria didn't just watch our dogs—she truly cared for them like they were her own. ❤️ We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely trust her with our girls again. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone who will love, spoil, and take wonderful care of their fur babies! 🐶🐶💕
Best first experience with Rover! Amanda was incredible with our girl Aurora and I could tell from the updates that she was having a fantastic time staying with Amanda and her sweet family. She was so well cared for and it put my heart at ease to know we could get away for a cruise and know Aurora was in good hands. I happily recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter! We'd love to have her sit for us again on our next trip!
Priya is an amazing sitter and took excellent care of my Pug! She is kind and professional, and made sure Matias was comfortable right from the start. The communication was great and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend bringing any pet to Priya and I look forward to seeing her again! Thanks!!
Gerri was very accommodating last minute. She also responds very quickly to messages. Our dog seemed comfortable and happy in the photos and when we picked him up. The only thing I could nit pick is that she had his leash hooked to his collar instead of his harness when we picked him up. I would definitely use Gerri again!

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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
