“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
“Without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've had in my life. A true gem. Her communications are timely and clear. If I could higher rating i would but there wouldn't be enough room on the rating sheet to hold all the stars she's earned..”
“Joan was PERFECT for our little girl Bella, we usually never leave our dog behind but we had to this time and Joan made us feel completely at ease! She even slept on the couch with her each night so she wouldn't be scared!! She sent us lots of pictures and took her on walks twice a day, she was able to spend whatever time she wanted in Joan's beautiful fenced yard or hang inside with Joan as she works from home which made us feel even better about leaving her as we knew she would be getting lots of pets and attention. Thanks Joan for making our trip more comfortable knowing she was well taken care of!!”
“Sky has been nothing short of a lifesaver for both my dog and I. I needed to find my dog, Brier, a place to stay very unexpectedly and we found Sky who was able to take him in. Then Brier had medical issues which she also had to look after. Brier fully recovered and is most definitely enjoying his stay! We will most definitely be coming back to see Sky!”
“So very happy to have found Audrey & Karson. Knowing that my anxious dogs are well taken care of is such a relief. I'm torn about giving them a good review because I want to keep them for myself. :)”
“Lori was great with communicating and sending pictures of our dog throughout his stay. She took care of him like he was her own. We will definitely use Lori again!”

“Felicia took care of Daisy for me for 2 weeks after meeting Daisy one day and then watching her for 2 weeks the next day! My previous sitter had cancelled on me 2 days prior to me leaving on vacation. Felicia sent pics of Daisy almost everyday with a message as to what Daisy was doing. I would def recommend Felicia and will definitely contact her again when services are needed. Thank you Felicia!”
“Olga boarded Zachary for three weeks while we were on vacation. During that time, Zachary was treated like a member of her loving family. Olga sent regular videos and pictures of Zachary playing tag with her dog, along with a cute picture of him with her cat. When we returned, Zachary was well fed, happy, and healthy. Olga did some training during his stay with her and gave him a bath and a comb-out. I have no hesitation in recommending Olga for training or boarding. She is excellent!”
“Runy was responsive and reliable when we needed not only a dog sitter for one night, but a manger for our sweet 13yr old boston terrier while she was the flower girl in our wedding ceremony. You can tell she really loves animals and it was easy to trust her with our baby. Thank you, Runy! 🌸”
“Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊”

We received pictures multiple times a day, I felt extremely safe and confident with Penny in her care, we will be booking again!”

Lisbeth is so wonderful!!! My baby while friendly, she’s very shy and when I picked her up, I could tell she already loves Lisbeth. I am so glad I went with my instinct. I would have Lisbeth take care of my baby again with peace of mind. She also calmed my separation anxiety with pics, videos and texts while I was away. Thank you again Lisbeth! 🩷🐾🐕
Two thumbs up for Kym and Glenn! This was my first time using Rover. Kym responded to my reservation request right away. We made arrangements for everyone to meet and see their space prior to the drop off. Their dogs welcomed my dog Coco and Glenn showed me their space; a beautiful shaded, fenced in backyard and the run of the house. After the drop off, I received pictures and texts letting me know how Coco was doing. They made it easy and being away from Coco, stress free.
As usual, Gabrielle is perfect for our Scout! She loves him, cares for him, and makes him a very happy hoy! Her communication is top notch with many updates throughout the day, written, pictures, and videos. This time, Scout was pining after her as we were driving away. A sign of a true bond! 🥰
This was my first time with Stacia and I am more than pleased with her care. Annie had so much fun playing with her new best friend and I know this because Stacia sent me videos every day. Stacia also sent photos if her. I definitely recommend Stacia for caring for your dog. Annie can't wait to go back!!!!

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.
