“Kymry is a godsend. My husband and I were visiting Orlando for a day and needed a short-term sitter. Not only did she respond immediately but she accommodated my Otto. She took exemplary care of him as evidenced by his jaunty walk to the car. You are in great hands with Kymry!”
“Jonathon & Aimee were awesome sitters for Chip. He spent the weekend with them and as we picked him up, we could tell right away that he had a great time and was really well looked after. They really cared about Chip and we’d happily recommend Jonathon & Aimee to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“Mayara has been wonderful from first to last. I had to board my elderly cat, who's never been boarded before, last-minute, and Mayara gracefully handled the late notice, booking hassle and all, and I was so relieved when I saw where Moon Pie would be staying in her home. Clean, comfy, kitty heaven in her own spacious and private office room with extra toys and a sliding glass door looking out at the yard, perfect for soaking up sun- not to mention lots of attention and company from Mayara and her family. The photos, videos and updates were welcome, daily comforts. You can rely on Mayara to take excellent care of your pet, and put your worries to rest. My cat and I were lucky to find her! If I ever need to board Moon Pie again, I'll call on Mayara without hesitation and hope she's got room!”
“We left our fur baby with Rennan for 3 days and couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! He was incredibly attentive and sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pet was clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommended we’d definitely trust him again!”
“Alberto was absolutely amazing with our dog. He sent videos, pictures and updates every day, and responded immediately each time we reached out. I actually think our dog was sad to leave him! I'd recommend Alberto to anyone looking for a safe, caring place for their pet!”
“I'm so happy with my dog's stay with Charity. She's a true animal lover and treats her furry guests as family. What could be better! That's for sure your dog gonna have friendly and caring environment with Charity, very recommend!”
“Connor was fantastic! He is very communicative and provides lots of photo updates, which is great! My pup, Jake, seemed to have a great time and has made a new best friend!”
“Jordan was great with Hokie and very responsive both before and during her stay. Hokie has anxiety with thunderstorms which I made Jordan aware of, she was willing to work with her and was observant when a storm was coming to be proactive with ways to calm Hokie. Overall I would definitely board with Jordan again!”
“I was so happy to find such a wonderful family to take care of my furbaby. I was able to enjoy myself knowing he was in great hands. They did a great job of sending pics to let me know my baby was happy!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years through different stages of my life. I cared for a rescued blue cat for 5 years, later cared for two rescued dogs for 4 years, and most recently cared for a Shiba Inu for 1 year. Living with these pets taught me that every animal has its own personality, emotions, and routines. To me, dogs are a lot like children—they need love, patience, attention, and a sense of security. Building trust with them is just as important as meeting their daily needs. I always take the time to understand each dog's habits and follow the owner's routine as closely as possible. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can spend lots of time with your dog instead of just stopping by for a quick visit. I enjoy going for walks, so if your dog likes being outside, we'll have a great time together. If they're more of a couch potato, that's totally fine too—I’m happy to relax with them and keep them company. I know every dog has its own routine, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to. My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe, happy, and as comfortable as possible until you're back.Dogs aren't just pets—they're family, and they deserve love, patience, and companionship every day. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I'll follow your instructions as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and their daily routine. At home, I'll make sure the space is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of fresh water and a comfortable place to rest. During walks, I'll always keep dogs on a leash unless we're in a safe, enclosed area. I'll also send regular photos and updates, because I know how much you miss them when you're away. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I'd want someone to care for my own.
“Sandra and her family were the most amazing family I’ve ever met. Sandra was super detailed orientated when it came to My Dawg 🐶 papa! We bought it Papa for three days and each day every couple of hours Sandra sent videos ,pictures ,and updates ! Papa loved every moment he was smiling and cheerful when he came home as well! We plan on booking Sandra way more often when we have a trips in events so glad we found someone we trust in our area❤️”
“Great sitter and you get a good family taking care of your dog. I would definitely recommend Poliana and her home for a home boarding. The best thing is she always has someone home, so if you are like me where you work from home and might not have the perfect time to drop off or pick up your dog they are more than happy to work with you. Definitely recommend Poliana for a great sitter to home board your dog with if like me now and then you have to leave town and it gets hard to find a good place to leave your dog. Thank you Poliana and to your family!”
“I loved how attentive Patricia was with my dog. I received pictures daily and I felt like my dog was in great hand the whole time I was on my trip. She’s awesome; if I ever need a sitter again I am looking for her!”
“Michelle was very kind and communicative throughout Edward’s stay. He had some problems with a puppy at her house and she handled it perfectly and made me feel comfortable about the situation.”
“Adreana is the best dog sitter on this app . Very sweet and kind! My dog had a blast at her house. Her house was very cleaned and smelled amazing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I would like to recommend Roberto and his wife as your dog sitter. They are very kind and caring towards your pet. They kept me updated every day about my Sasha. And when I picked her up, she was very happy. Thank you for taking care of her like she was part of your own family.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Yolimar! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly sweet, patient, and welcoming toward my little Chihuahua, Deedee. You can tell that Yolimar genuinely loves animals and cares about their comfort and well-being. She has such a kind and gentle personality, which gave me peace of mind while my husband and I were away celebrating our anniversary. Despite our language barrier, Yolimar was patient and made every effort to communicate and make sure everything went smoothly. I truly appreciated her kindness and willingness to accommodate Deedee. Thank you so much, Yolimar, for taking such good care of my little girl! I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a loving and attentive pet sitter. ❤️🐾”
“David is such a kind-hearted person. He communicates often with updates about pictures. I highly recommend David and look forward to booking with him again in the future.”

Mayara was great! Very quick & responsive for a last minute sitter. She sent pictures of my Quincy boy throughout the time he was there. He seemed very happy & came home happy too. Would absolutely leave him with Mayara again. Book her! (but leave room for me 🤣) Thank you Mayara!
Our Bruno was very well cared for with Michael and Rinrada. He loved playing and snuggling with them. It was our first time leaving him and they were so communicative to send me frequent updates, pictures and videos. Bruno was so comfortable with them and their dog Blaise. We would definitely leave him with them again.
Taryn was absolutely amazing with Kahlua! From the moment we booked, she was attentive, communicative, and so reassuring. She gave the best updates with pictures throughout the day which meant so much to me, especially since Kahlua struggles with anxiety. It was clear that Taryn gave her so much love, patience, and attention. You can truly tell she cares about the dogs she watches. I felt completely at peace knowing Kahlua was in such good hands. I would 1000% book her again!

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 Doctor Phillips 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 Doctor Phillips.
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 Doctor Phillips 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.
