“Cindy was fantastic with Chief for the 2 weeks they spent together. She sent us daily updates with photos about how he was getting on and you could tell he was very happy in the environment. Would highly recommend”
“Chelsea spoiled our pup! He came home happy and well taken care of. She has adorable frenchies that got along well with ours and kept him entertained. We will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Chelsea!”
“IIiana was an amazing sitter. She always responded in a timely fashion. She also was very proactive with updates using photos and videos. I would highly recommend her and use her in the future!”
“I’ve used [Daniel & Jessica] twice now to care for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier! Both times they did an outstanding job—my dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. They’re incredibly reliable, communicative, and so accommodating with my schedule and any last-minute changes. It’s such a relief knowing my furry family member is in such great hands. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Neida is amazing ! I am very picky when it comes to leaving my girl, when I go out of town. But Neida hands down has been the best sitter I have left Chiquita with. I am beyond happy with the care my dog received. Neida was so attentive and truly treated my dog as if she were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such loving and capable hands, especially with having an issue with a cancellation of my flight back home, Neida did not hesitate on being able to stay with Chiquita a few more days till I came back home. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. Epic had such a great time and absolutely loved it! I could tell he was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Epic again! 🐾💕”
“CeCe is the best dog sitter I’ve ever met or had the pleasure of using! She watched the girls while we were on our honeymoon and gave they a bath before we picked them up! She constantly updated us and sent us videos. It made us feel like we weren’t missing out on their fun, and they didn’t even seem to miss us! I could not recommend CeCe more! 💗”
“Elvis was happy when I picked him up and was obviously well cared for. Kristin provided updates via pictures and commentary, he was always smiling for the camera, haha. So glad we found her… we will definitely use her again.”
“Second time booking with Sophia and her husband. They’re fantastic people, they took care of our girls so good and sent us pictures and videos daily of them having fun and playing. I 100% recommend Sophia and we will be booking with her again.”
“Alvaro was a great sitter for my Brownie. Lots of love and playtime to keep your furry friends happy. Greatly appreciated the photos that assured me that everything was going well. Thank you!!! I would definitely like to use your services again in the future 💕”
“I felt super comfortable leaving my fur babies with the sitter. She was very friendly and and warm with our fur babies. I would definitely recommend her if anyone needs to leave their babies with her. She’s super sweet and caring. I would definitely bring back my my dogs for her to watch them again.”
“Dzeni and Kathy are PHENOMENAL!!! We received daily updates and photos of our little girls. It was so comforting to know they were loved while we were away. Providing a highly rated review is a double-edged sword. When others learn how great they are, we run the risk of them being completely booked. Oh well…that doesn’t change my sentiments above. If you are looking for someone who will love your baby as much as you do and want piece of mind while you’re away, we HIGHLY recommend Dzeni and Kathy!!!”
“We can’t thank this loving family enough for taking such good care of our pup. They updated us the whole stay with amazing pictures and videos. Our pup made some new friends, got plenty of exercise and love. We will absolutely schedule a puppy sleep over with Matt & Nicole during any of our future get aways. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Ronin enjoyed getting to know you all. 💙”
“She sent me pictures, and updates everyday if not multiple times a day. She treated my pup like family, and she seemed to be having the best time. She was very accommodating. Highly recommend. Worth the drive out there to have your pup in good hands. 10/10”
“Seaura was absolutely the best dog sitter we could’ve asked for. We were incredibly nervous dropping our baby boy off to go over seas but we did a meet and greet and her and her family were the sweetest people. Her son absolutely loved Bowser and I knew bowser would enjoy playing with him. I lost my passport so got stuck overseas an additional day and then our flight was canceled so we were stuck for a second additional day. She was so understanding and assured me that I shouldn’t worry about Bowser and that they would be happy to help out. This took so much stress off our shoulders as she was sending pictures and videos of Bowser having tons of fun playing. He truly looked so happy. Thank you so much for being a life saver!!!”
“I am pleased to provide this review for Sabrina, who provided excellent boarding services for my dog, Winnie, over a two-day period. Sabrina demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attentiveness, ensuring that Winnie received consistent and thoughtful care throughout her stay. Of particular note was Sabrina’s proactive communication. She sent regular photographs of Winnie at various points during the day, which offered valuable reassurance and allowed me to see firsthand that my dog was content, active, and well attended to. This thoughtful gesture significantly enhanced my peace of mind while I was away. I would recommend Sabrina without hesitation to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring professional for their dog’s boarding needs. Her service exceeded expectations, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Sarah is gentle and kind! My dog instantly fell in love with her. She keeps you undated daily and genuinely cares about you and your dog! I would use her services again and again!”
“Jorge was amazing with my dogs. His love and experience for dogs was easy to tell with all of our interactions. He took great care of my dogs and I will be requesting his services again in the future if we ever need it!”

It was such a pleasure having Angie watch my pup for the weekend. I got video updates and had full trust that my dog got lots of attention and love. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your pets. Her home was clean and well equipped to care for animals with a fenced yard and lots of space. Will definitely use Angie’s services next time I need it.
Sabrina is the best! Her communication is top tier and she knows how to handle my pups. I have one who is a bit anxious/nervous. She took her time with him and created an environment for him to feel comfortable and loved. I don’t have to worry when I leave my dogs with her. Book her!!

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.
