“Jennifer was communicative with caring for our baby Luna. I can tell she and Olive had a great day playing together! We definitely recommend! Your pup will be in great hands with Jennifer.”
About: My love for animals has shaped so much of my life. For as long as I can remember, lost and stray animals have had a way of finding me, and I’ve made it my mission to help them get safely home or receive the care they need. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a year volunteering with a street-animal rescue organization in St. Maarten. The number of stray dogs and cats throughout the Caribbean is heartbreaking, and the animals arrived in many different conditions. Some were feral and needed to be safely trapped, socialized, and rehabilitated. Others were orphaned puppies and kittens requiring hand-feeding, while many were former pets who had been abandoned, malnourished, or injured. I helped care for these animals and prepare them for foster and forever homes—either on the island or, with the help of volunteer escorts, in loving homes around the world. It was challenging, deeply meaningful, and the most rewarding work I have ever done. My last pet was the love of my life, Sophie, a Tibetan Spaniel who was by my side for almost 17 years. She traveled with me by plane, sailboat, and RV and experienced more places and adventures than many people do in a lifetime. I miss her every day and remain incredibly grateful to have shared my life with such a special soul. Now that I’m settled in Palm Harbor, Florida, I’m not quite ready to welcome another pet of my own. Instead, I’ve chosen to follow my passion by helping care for yours. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care and plenty of companionship. I would be honored to care for your pet with the same patience, affection, and devotion I gave Sophie. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion.❤️❤️ I am currently self- employed, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week to care for your beloved pet. You pet's safety is my highest priority, and I will love and care for them as if they were my own. I am very careful while pet-sitting/walking. No escaping on my watch. I will always have your pup on a leash while in my care. That is a must for me. While I no longer offer daycare in my home, I provide personalized house-sitting services in your pet's familiar environment to ensure their comfort and safety. I would like to know all about your preferences in order to make the stay to your liking. My goal is to create a comfortable and soothing environment for your pet while they're with me in your home. My experience includes administering various types of medications, making me proficient in caring for dogs with special medical needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior needing gentle care, or has a specific temperament or medication requirement, I have it all under my belt.
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and first time with River. She made the experience exceptionally pleasing. She’s a gem.”
“My dog starts whimpering on the way over in anticipation of her playdate with Ollie. She always has a great time and is cared for in the best possible way both for day visits and longer stays. So grateful to have found these folks!”
“Using Rover for the first time, we were skeptical of what type of care our pups would receive. Based on their profile, Larry and Renee seemed like a good choice, but once we took our dogs for an in-person meet and greet we felt very confident in our decision! Larry and Renee are super friendly, have a calm disposition, and treated our dogs like their own. Every day, our pups came back to us happy and exhausted from a fun-filled day with Larry and Renee. They sent us pictures with updates on how the day went, and they were very flexible with pick-up/drop-off times. While on vacation, we wanted to make sure our furbabies were kept safe while we did "humans-only" activities but Larry and Renee went above and beyond by stimulating them with different experiences and emptying their energy tanks! We honestly can't wait to vacation in the area again so we can look up Larry and Renee to look after our pups!”
“I would definitely recommend Angie! She was very attentive to my dog Chip! My dog is reactive and she was very good about keeping the other dog away. She took him on a walk every day let him play outside and gave him lots of love and attention. She also sent me a picture every day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“AJ has been wonderful with our dog Josie! He has been so patient and kind with her and let her go at her own pace. She has had several visits and is getting more comfortable each time. AJ, Trish, and Goose are tremendous hosts. AJ is the bomb! I strongly recommend him and his family for doggie daycare.”
“Heather was able to watch my two dogs at last minute's notice! I am boarding them for 10 days in May, so this was a good trial to see how everything went. They seemed quite happy to be with Heather and the afternoon was a success! Thank you so much Heather!”
“Heather is absolutely GREAT with dogs, having 4 of her own! She welcomes them with warm love and is so caring and attentive with each one. Gracie had a wonderful first time experience and will definitely be back as we have already booked a few more dates with Heather. I highly recommend her!”
“10/10 recommend! Athena and Richi took care of my pup for a few hours while I was at an event, and they did a very good job. They were also very responsive prior to booking and very responsive up until the day of camp. I received a ton of pictures and felt calm that my dog was in such good hands while I was gone.”
“Willow loved staying with Beata and her family and meeting new friends and spending a lot of time outside running in her large backyard! Beata was very responsive and sent lots of pictures!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Lake
Our pup received the warmest welcome at our meet and greet. Laura definitely has a knack with fur babies and it is easy to tell she has years of experience with them. We looked forward to scheduling a daycare date. Thankfully, she was available during the time of my Mom's visit which enabled the two of us to enjoy our day of shopping. (Mom is fussy with her granddog and fully approved of Laura's care admiring the way she looked after him.) We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Laura and her family. We appreciated the photos throughout the day (adored the ones with belly rubs from her sons) and up-to-date communications. Thank you, Laura.
During our initial meet and greet, I knew instantly that Jenny would be a caring and knowledgeable sitter. We booked a daycare visit and she was quickly responsive with our communications. We found the Drop off and pick up to be efficient and detailed with the day's activities. We enjoyed receiving the photos and Jenny's comments. We look forward to another opportunity for Caesar to stay with Jenny!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your East Lake commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,326 sitters in East Lake, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
