“Lauren is friendly, personable and knows a lot about pets and their personalities. Our experience was great and her communication about our dog put us as ease. Our dog is anxious and he adapted well. Highly recommend.”

“Yasmin took such great care of my fur baby while I was away! She kept up with his schedule perfectly, followed my guidelines for his care and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When we reunited, he was in such great spirits and acted like he had an amazing little vacation of his own. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!”

“Katelyn was an amazing and patient dog sitter for Braxton, who’s an older pup and requires a bit of extra care. She was incredibly communicative and kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Braxton was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

“Jacqueline and her husband were great. We were traveling from out of state for a wedding and they were able to watch Murphy with really short notice. Murphy is 16 and blind and they didn’t hesitate. They were so nice and we made us feel comfortable leaving him with them, not to mention some cute photos of Murph hanging out.”

“Heidi was very awesome to work with! My boys came back super happy and even appeared to be a little sad they had to leave Heidi which lets me know she took amazing care of them! Great communication and was super responsive sending updates and pictures all throughout their stay either her. Will definitely be rebooking with Heidi in the future!”

About: Hello! I love dogs, and have been around them my entire life. I have a shepherd-terrier mix that will make friends with even the most stubborn of dogs. She will either play with yours for hours on end, or nap to contentment with your older loves. I have an unfenced yard, so I’m happy to take for extra walks if your dog is prone to adventuring! I work from home for the most part, so I’m free to keep your pet company all day. Last minute is always fine, I know life gets in the way sometimes, and your pet will be happy and safe in a home away from home! Please let me know if there are any medical issues, if the dog is still potty training, or any other accommodations that may be needed. I would love to watch your dog!

About: Animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own miniature dachshund puppy, Juna. I understand the importance of trust, patience, and personalized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or a calm and caring companion, I’m here to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, I already structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. Being consistently available allows me to give pets the care, supervision, and companionship they need while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I care for pets with the same love, attention, and consistency whether they are in my home or a client’s home. In my own home, I maintain a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where my puppy, Juna, follows a structured routine with regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and rest. I make sure she feels comfortable, stimulated, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as normal as possible. I focus on providing companionship, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of affection while making sure each pet feels secure and loved in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care so both pets and owners feel at ease.

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 Dismal Key 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 Dismal Key.
<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 Dismal Key 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.
