About: What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each pet. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive frequent potty breaks, companionship, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to follow owners' instructions carefully, so pets feel safe, comfortable, and love while they're away. I pride myself on being reliable communicative and treating every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with my own pets, from their puppy stage until their current senior years. In addition, I have administered daily oral, intravenous, and eye medications to my pets. I currently work from home, so your pets can sit with me all day. They will have consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally around my workday without interfering with my job and will rarely be left alone. Pets will receive attention, exercise and care from morning through bedtime. I have a fenced yard, an older male Shih Tzu, and a young male Tuxedo cat. I am reliable and will communicate with pet parents as requested. Frequent updates and photos will be provided. I have experience with my own pets with giving medications, recognizing signs of illness, and reading pet body language.
“Nyx stayed at Jaritza’s house for the first time(usually Jaritza has come and let Nyx out) and she was so amazing and sent pictures of Nyx all day, and Nyx had so much fun with her dogs. Jaritza is so great!”
“Larrielle has been a dedicated caretaker to my fur son since he was an infant. She’s played a trivial role in helping me get a break during busier weeks at work and life events. Her kind and genuine spirit electrifies every stay for my fur baby as he always wags his tail and gets super excited when I mention her name or Inform him that he’s going to daycare. I’m an over protective parent and only ALLOW the best for my baby and Larrielle has always delivered nothing less than exceptional service and professionalism. So glad to have her in our lives :-D”

“Mary watched our puppy Evie and was great with her! Communication was easy with always quick response and multiple pics to let us know how our pup was doing. We would love to use Mary again for dog sitting!”
About: We have both loved dogs since the day we were born. We have cared for dogs over the past 10 years including our own two. We believe dogs truly are a mans best friend and they are to be treated like family. While it is hard to be away from our “family” at times, we know work obligations and/or vacations are necessary. This is why we can help! Both James and I have off on weekends and spend our free time at our home in Center Valley. We are a team! While at work, we put our 2 dogs in an extra large crate together, and they are inseparable! When home, they have free roam of the house and love to play tug of war, ball, chase, and beg for attention!
About: Loving Home Away From Home for Your Furry Family Member 🐾 New to Rover but eons of experience otherwise I've been raising and caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have personally raised six dogs over the years. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their unique personalities, and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in our large home and spacious fenced yard. Whether they love running around, playing fetch, going for walks, or simply relaxing and getting cuddles, they'll receive lots of attention and affection during their stay. My high school-aged son, who has been around and helping care for large dogs since he was 7 years old, is also a big animal lover and assists under my supervision. Together, we provide a caring, attentive environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether you're away for a day, a weekend, or an extended trip, you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. We understand how important your pet is, and we'll make sure they're loved, exercised, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. We can't wait to meet your fur baby! I’m home most weekdays and weekends, so your furbaby will never be left alone for long. I have a friendly 2-year-old Malinois mix who loves company and can be a great companion for your pet during their stay. 🐾 Can play safely and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. Don’t worry—I’m very mindful of the weather and won’t let them stay outside when it’s too hot. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer crate time, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. The choice is completely yours!
“Sarah has been very patient with our puppy who takes his time before he can allow anyone to get close to him. She tried her best to calm him, introduce him to other dogs and always kept an eye on him.”
“Alicia was AMAZING!!! I am so very happy Mia stayed with her. Alicia communicated with me, was very accommodating even when I asked to get Mia later than the previously scheduled time, and she is very nice. She has a great personality and goes the extra mile!!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dade City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,418 sitters in Dade City, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
