“We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!”
“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them.
“Cyndee was fantastic! She took great care of Rocket, my dachshund mix, while I was out of town for a weekend trip. She updated us throughout the weekend, and most importantly kept him an extra day after my flight home was cancelled. That definitely took a huge weight off my shoulders. Plus, Rocket had a blast!”
“Lori and Jim took wonderful care of our pups. Both were amazing, gentle, and loving with our two dogs. Lori was very responsive and thoughtful to send us frequent updates on our pups. We highly recommend Lori.”
“Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“Thank you so much for having Bella at your place and taking such good care of her. She is doing great, though it seems like she is missing your son. You are truly awesome! We’ll keep in touch. Thanks again for everything. Best regards, Jacob.”
“My sweet Stella Bella Roux had the doggie pleasure of staying with Tina for 4 nights recently, I know she really loved being with Tina! Tina took great care of my girl, sent me plenty of pictures and videos each day, I could tell Stella was very happy there. So glad my precious Stella had a wonderful staycation with Tina. I will be happy to let Stella stay with Tina next time, too! 🐾💖🐾”
“Winston had a great stay at Morgan’s. Lots of cuddle time with her little ones and he loved playing outside in the fenced in backyard. I would highly recommend Morgan and hope to use here again in the future.”
“My Kelly received wonderful care from Leslie. Leslie was just fabulous sending me updates and photos twice a day. Kelly got exercise, play time with new friends and had a wonderful time there. Also, Leslie was very conscientious about returning all of her toys, bedding, extra food, etc. It was a wonderful experienced and I can't recommend her enough. We will be back very soon.”
“There are truly no words to describe how amazing rebecca is — she’s the absolute best of the best! From day one, she’s gone above and beyond in every single way and has genuinely become part of our family. Our dog lights up the second she sees her, and that says it all. She doesn’t just care for our pup — she loves her, spoils her, and treats her like her own. The level of kindness, reliability, and heart she puts into what she does is unmatched. We never worry for a second when our dog is with her because we know she’s getting the same love and attention she gets at home — maybe even more! She sends thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and always pays attention to the little details that make such a difference. People like her are one in a million, and we feel unbelievably lucky to have found her.”
“Elisa was wonderful! Astro loves her! She sent me updates and pictures from their activities. When I went to pick Astro up he walked around the house as of it was his home. Elisa has an amazing love for dogs and treats them with such great care. I travel a lot and will be using Elisa's services on a regular basis.”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
“Tiana and her daughter took great care of Minnie. Tiana was also very responsive, kind, and sent plenty of photos/videos. We were at peace knowing our dog was cared for and given plenty of attention and snuggles. Would highly recommend!”

Laura was wonderful. Sam had an amazing time while staying with her, and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout her stay. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Sam was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Laura with Sam again and wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Laura in the future.
Natalya took care of our 18 month maltipoo, Charlee, while we were out of town for the holidays. She was absolutely wonderful with Charlee! I felt completely at ease with her and she sent daily photos and videos to us. Charlee also had a great time playing with her dog Masha! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Jaclyn was amazing with my 18 year old senior min pin, which i know older dogs can sometimes be a little more work.. She kept me up to date on how is was doing and sent pictures of him too. She gave him lots of potty breaks and provided him with a safe relaxed environment.

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 Desoto Lakes 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 Desoto Lakes.
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 Desoto Lakes 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.
