“Anyone needing dog care/ dog sitting services, I definitely would recommend Matt and Nicole. They are excellent. They are caring people with dogs and very caring people. I strongly recommend Matt and Nicole. My dog Addy who has separation anxiety was handled in a very specialized way . Their whole family was with my dog. And he came back better cause he actually was more chilled out and now is use to being with a dog sitter in a good experience. The pictures were great as well.”

“Holli took such very good care of our dogs the past few days. Her home and family were a great fit for our guys. You not only get Holli, but her whole family to love on your pets. Communication was easy and updates came daily. We felt so comfortable having our dogs with her. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We genuinely appreciated Mason & Kassandra for coming through and taking care of our girls after a very last minute scramble to find someone after our initial plans fell through. They communicated with us throughout the pups’ stay and took great care of them. We’re transitioning to a new home/location and it’s been quite the adjustment for our pups, but Kassandra and Mason were very understanding and took great care of our girls while we were away!”
“Cheyenne, was wonderful with our dog Emmie. She sent us photos every day for the month she had her. Emmie was very well cared for and even had her own little treats that Cheyenne bought for her. I would highly recommend Cheyenne and am so happy we found her on rover. We will absolutely be boarding Emmie when our next big adventure comes along.”
“Tatiana was absolutely amazing while watching our dogs, Loki and Athena, during our vacation. She went above and beyond, sending us daily updates with pictures and letting us know how they were doing, from their eating habits to how they woke up and whether they played with the other dogs. Tatiana even took care of our baby Loki by putting eardrops in when his ear was acting up, showing genuine care and attention to detail. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, always prompt in responding to our questions, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be seeing Tatiana again. Loki and Athena will absolutely be going back to her next time! Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased. Karla was very responsive and followed-up with me regularly during my time away. I felt comfortable leaving my dog, Ben, under her care and will certainly rebook with her in the future.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have worked at dog boarding facilities and various rescues over the years. I am currently a volunteer with a local rescue in Lakeland. I have three small dogs of my own, who are like my kids. I’m home most of the time so your pet will rarely be unsupervised but when I do need to leave the house, I have steps and protocols in place to assure your pet's safety while I am away. I have a 6ft privacy fenced back yard. All lawn care items are locked away in a shed to lessen the risk of your pet getting into anything potentially toxic. I supervise feedings and separate dogs, if necessary. I can also administer oral medications.
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog Bandit. He seemed very happy and relaxed during his stay, and we appreciated the daily updates with photos and videos. We would highly recommend Matties Boarding Kennel for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog boarding facility!”
“Marie provided excellent care for my two pups. They are like my children and I don't trust them to anyone. They were loved and slept on comfy beds. No cages, plenty of space to run and play. Plus,plenty of love.”

Chelsie and her husband were absolutely amazing for my girl’s first time away from home. She kept me updated with photos and messages about how Luna was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my girl had a wonderful time and was well cared for. I would definitely book with her again without hesitation!
Kyli was amazing as always. Milo wasn’t feeling well and had an upset stomach while we were away and she made sure to keep him hydrated and keep us updated on how he was doing. Milo was doing much better by the time we picked him up. Kyli took amazing care of him. We will always recommend her and will keep booking for Milo! Thank you Kyli!!
Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.
Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!

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 Crystal Lake home-away-from-home, 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 Crystal Lake.
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 Crystal Lake 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 , 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 .
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.
