“Ms. Sharii is 5 star, top notch dog 🐕 sitter. Tiffany loves spending time with Ms. Sharii. She loves her morning and afternoon walks and soaking up the sun shine on the front porch and enjoying her lap rubs and cuddles.”
“I was a bit nervous at first because it was my first time using this app or leaving Diamond with anyone outside of my family, but boy was I happy I picked Windell. Not only was Windell responsible, reliable and on top with the daily updates and communication but he was extremely resourceful, kind and patient with myself as well as my little guy. He addressed each and every question and concern in a timely manner and went on and beyond to assure the safely and well being of my little buddy Diamond! Thank you Windell!”

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to dog sitting! I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pup. What sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I only accept pets from one household at a time, so I can really focus on the pets in my care. I make an effort to engage with them through play, walks, attention, and plenty of cuddles rather than simply supervising them. I want every beloved pet I care for to feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I work from home, so I’m able to be present with your furry companion throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me plenty of flexibility for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and attention throughout the day. I can also follow your pup’s normal schedule as closely as possible so their routine stays familiar while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take each owner’s instructions and their furry family memer's individual needs seriously. I only care for pets from one household at a time, which allows me to provide a calm environment and focused, personalized attention. I’ll follow your preferences for feeding, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any house rules or routines your pup is accustomed to. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care.

“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“Did a awesome job giving the right amount of info to keep me feeling comfortable. My little dog is a escape artist who escaped many time with friends. I'm guessing he felf comfortable with he that he didn't want to escape She will be our go to dog watcher.”
“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
About: I have had pets my entire life and truly love caring for animals. I treat every pet with love, patience, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior pets and providing the extra attention and gentle care they may need. During the school year, I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Saturdays are flexible until 7:00 PM, and Sundays are available for special occasions or short-term care when needed. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, with wider availability. I also offer boarding in my home for one medium dog or up to two small dogs, depending on availability. My home has a fully fenced, spacious yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and relax. I spend most of my time at home, so pets are not left alone for long periods and receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Boarding dogs must be house-trained, spayed/neutered, and friendly with other dogs. Spanish is spoken in our home. Your pet will be welcomed and cared for like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, and respect. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

About: Hi, I'm Shontavia! I have an immense love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and species. Whether your furry friend needs a long walk or requires specialized attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a dedicated dog sitter, I provide comprehensive care tailored to your dog's specific routine. I handle daily feedings, energetic playtime, safe neighborhood walks, and refreshing baths to ensure your pup stays happy, clean, and healthy while you are away. I understand the unique environments and specific diets these specialized pets need to thrive.I look forward to giving your pets the high-quality love, safety, and attention they deserve! Working from home with a flexible schedule makes pet sitting exceptionally easy to manage. I seamlessly blend animal care into my workday without disrupting my professional productivity. If you choose in-home boarding, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. While I have my own beloved pets, they enjoy their own dedicated personal space. This allows me to maintain strict, secure boundaries, giving guest pets their own comfortable, stress-free zone to relax without any forced interactions. Whether I am caring for family members in my home or visiting yours, I treat every animal with the high-quality love, patience, and attentive care they deserve!

“I will admit, I was nervous being that this was my first time ever using this service. Melanie, however, was an amazing care giver. She was very accommodating when I booked a day in advance for an emergency and sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was also very easy to get in contact with. My dog came back very happy and as a dog mom I am very satisfied with her care. Romeo will definitely be returning to Melanie. 🙂”
“From the first visit i knew she was awesome with my Pup! Expert at not only reading the dog but also making sure that my dog was comfortable with her. The attention to detail is amazing! Thanks again! 10/10”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
