“This 24 hour stay was what I call an "ice breaker" trial run before our extended Thanksgiving vacation. Lady Belle endeared herself to David and his wife right away. Although Bella was understandably uncertain about the new environment she adjusted so well that by the time we came to pick her up she was running , barking and playing with their Lover girl rat terrier. The home was very comfortable and accommodating for dogs and David and his wife truly love all their canine customers as if they were their own. This was also a trial run for communication text messaging, etc. where David & I worked out the "bugs" in communication. We loved all the photos of Bella during her sleep over. This 24 hour stay was decidedly a success on all fronts. David & his wife got to know Lady Bella some, my wife and I were much more comfortable knowing that our beloved Bella will be just fine during our vacation, communications were worked out, and most important Lady Bella adjusted well and ending up having a fun time herself.”

“Our fur baby felt right at home with Stephanie! He was treated like a king and was happy and relaxed while away from home. The daily updates and pics gave us peace of mind. We've already booked our next stay!”

“We used Betsy over the weekend and had a great experience! She was constantly updating me and sending photos! Drop off and pick up was very smooth! We are going to use her again for another upcoming trip!”

“Tracee has been nothing but amazing from the moment I reached out to her! This is our second time leaving our big furbaby boy with her and I feel so assured and relieved that we found her! We of course miss our Melo when away, but knowing he is in such loving hands and care allows me to truly enjoy time away. He is clearly so well taken care of when we return, and seems so much at ease than when we would previously bring him to a dog daycare ! She sends updates and photos throughout the day and ensures all our requests and our furbaby’s needs are met! Thank you!”

“Jenna did a great job taking care of Bonnie and Lucy from Sunday morning through Wednesday afternoon. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and it was a big plus that her two dogs got along and played nicely with ours, which helped keep them active and happy. Communication was good overall, and she was responsive when needed. The dogs came home healthy and in good spirits, and we appreciated her care while we were away. We’d be comfortable using Jenna again and appreciate her help.”

“Morgan was great with our pup Sasha. I was really nervous leaving her with someone new, but Morgan always kept us informed and sent pictures daily. Sasha is pretty energetic and has separation anxiety, and Morgan was super patient with her. Will definitely use her again!”

“This is the second time Mailo has stayed with them! Mailo is truly happy at their home! Thank you for taking such good care of him and for always communicating so well.”

“Nicole was really great with our pup! I’m really grateful she made him part of her family for the holidays. She was always responsive and sent us some really great photos. When she dropped off something we’d left at her home, he was so excited to see her again! We’d definitely use her again.”

“Jennifer was very flexible in accepting a last minute request for our puppy Holly over the holidays. She kept us well informed through communication and pictures. Would definitely recommend her!!”

“We have used Larry & Renee a couple times now for our sitting needs and could not be more pleased! They truly go above and beyond to make sure our "kids" are comfortable and entertained while we're gone. In addition to letting our pups spend lots of time outside in their backyard, they take our pups out for walks and/or dog park visits every day. No other sitter we have used has done that, which makes me appreciate Larry & Renee that much more. They also send plenty of pictures, which we value greatly. Our pups are always smiling in the photos, which puts our minds at ease knowing they are having fun and are living stress-free in our absence. Highly recommend!”
“Heather does a great job caring for Murphy the way that works for my dog. A good dog caregiver works with the dogs personality and Heather does a wonderful job with that!”


About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration

“I am absolutely in love with this Sitter! I’m half reluctant to write a review because I don’t want everyone to find out about her. ? My sweet Stella had so much fun she wanted to stay. Rhiannon keep me up-to-date every day with plenty of pictures and videos. I have a border collie as does Rhiannon. You would’ve thought they have been raised together from the looks of it. She has a big backyard that is fenced in and a ball launcher for those dogs who love to run. I knew Stella was in heaven when I receive pictures of her snuggled up in bed at night with Rhiannon. I’m seriously considering using her for weekends here and there just because I know how much Stella enjoyed herself. I can’t think her enough and felt completely at ease knowing she was with someone who is truly a dog lover. ♥️”

“George is the best. Winnie loves visiting and is good friends with his Lab, Jake. When we pulled up in the driveway she was so excited. Winnie’s stay at George’ home is a vacation for her”

“Great dog sitter! She was very accommodating, responsive, and attentive to my dog’s needs. I really appreciated her flexibility with my unexpected travel changes. She also sent photos and videos regularly, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Larissa to others!”

About: I accept last minute requests :)🐾 My alternate/emergency backup sitter is Kelli B. (Also a sitter on Rover) Meet & greets are complimentary 🐩 Services: ~boarding (my home) ~house sitting (your home) ~drop-ins ~dog walking As a dedicated dog mom to a high-energy Border Collie/Labrador mix, I truly understand the level of commitment, patience, and exercise it takes to keep a pup happy and thriving. My home is a place of boundless energy and love, which has prepared me to step in as a seamless replacement parent for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Throughout my years of sitting, I’ve gained extensive experience with a diverse range of needs, from high-octane athletes to gentle senior souls. I am highly proficient in specialized care, including strict dietary management, insulin injections, oral pill administration, and the careful application of eye drops. I also have a deep heart for dogs with sensory challenges; having cared for both blind and deaf pups, I know how to use touch, vibration, and clear hand signals to ensure they feel safe and secure. My goal is always to provide the same empathetic, intuitive care you do, so your best friend feels cherished and understood every moment you’re away. My routine is built around being present. I have the flexibility to stay in your home, ensuring your pet’s environment remains stable and stress-free while you are away. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy exercise routine for an active pup, managing a strict medication schedule for a senior, or simply providing a warm lap to curl up on during my work hours, I am able to prioritize your pet's needs at any time of day. You won't have to worry about long stretches of solitude; I’m there to provide the snacks, the walks, and the specialized care exactly when they need it. For boarding, your pet would stay with me in my home 🏡 my yard is unfenced but there is plenty of space to run, and I have leashes of various lengths for outside play time. I'm happy to take your pup on car rides to run errands or to go to a local park for a hike 🐾 I don't mind pets on furniture or in bed 🐈⬛ When I stay in your home, my priority is providing a seamless "replacement parent" experience so your pets never feel a significant gap in their routine. Because of my professional background, I take the security of your home very seriously. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that: Continuous Presence: I am there throughout the day, which is a natural deterrent and keeps your home looking "lived-in." Professional Responsibility: I am exceptionally detail-oriented and respectful of your space, following all house rules and security protocols to the letter. Specialized Medical Care: I am fully comfortable staying overnight with seniors or pets with chronic conditions (like diabetes or sensory impairments) who require late-night or early-morning monitoring. Home Tidiness: I maintain a clean, quiet environment and ensure mail is collected, plants are watered, and everything is exactly as you left it. I also have experience in the water mitigation field, so should any issue arise with an appliance or anything in your home, I know how to respond quickly and mitigate further issues.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elfers
We recently moved to the area, and we're so glad we found Clary to care for our pups! She was so warm and welcoming, and made sure both our dogs were able to become comfortable in her home from the first moment they arrived. She sent pictures and updates to show us how they were making friends with the other dogs and settling in. The pictures of them exploring the backyard together were especially adorable. Our dogs love children, so we were happy to learn that Clary's kids helped show our dogs love too! I appreciated how Clary was able to accommodate my work schedule, and how she kept in touch throughout the stay. We recommend her most highly!

The best. I scheduled a trip out of town & made a mistake in scheduling with Betsy. She made an immediate decision to keep my dog on the spot. Above accommodating! My dog is so happy to be there, she runs to play with her “friends “ leaving me at door. Could not be happier choosing Betsy. Am a repeat customer
Stephanie was absolutely incredible keeping my fur baby for 9 days! First time Rover user here and I’ve always been lucky to have family or friends keep my pup when I go on vacation for the last 6 years but this trip everyone I knew already had plans so I needed to find someone but was also very nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know. However, I loved Stephanie’s profile & her previous reviews, so I decided to give it a shot. She quickly eased all my anxiety and my dog instantly LOVED her! She sent daily pictures and videos and kept me in the loop my whole trip. She wants your pet to have the same structure at her house as they do at home and I really love that. Hands down I will use Stephanie in the future and I highly recommend you book her too!

I could not have wished for a better sitter for my Labrador Retriever, Winnie! Robin is a wonderful and warm person who truly loved and spoiled Winnie during the three weeks she looked after her. Robin sent pictures and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. Her two dogs are happy and friendly, and Winnie got along beautifully with them. I would not hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

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 Elfers 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 Elfers.
<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 Elfers 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.
