“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Amy boarding Ornn! His stay was a long one—9 days—and I honestly never had to worry about him while we were away. Amy sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it so nice to see that Ornn was happy and enjoying himself. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands for the entire trip. We’re so grateful to Amy and her family for taking such great care of him and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog!”
“5 stars all the way. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we couldn’t not be happier with the service and care we received. Our little Gunner has terrible anxiety and does not like to be alone ever since his sister passed away last year. Aivy took such good care of our Gunner. She was patient and kind and made sure she communicated with us on how Gunner was doing. We can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her again. Thank you for your patience with our old man.”
“Absolutely wonderful!! First time leaving our Sunny and Katie and John took care of her as if she were their own. Great communication, constant pictures!! Will definitely use again!!”
“Katie is a wonderful. I’m a repeat customer with my dog Sparky. Sparky loves staying with Katie and her family! Katie is great about sending pictures showing Sparky is doing well during his visit. I highly recommend her”

“Words cannot express the appreciation of how Kelsey and Conor took care of Gracie. I was so nervous about leaving her, since this was the first time leaving her and going on vacation. They sent a lot of updates and pictures! This put me at ease so I could enjoy my family vacation. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their dog stay with them!! Gracie really loved staying there and I think she really misses being with them and their dogs! If I need to leave Gracie again it will definitely be with Kelsey and Conor!! Thank you both for looking after my baby and taking such great care of her!!!!!”

“Thank you John and Michelle for watching our Havanese. This was the first time shes been watched outside of family. Seems she had great time making new friends. Thank you again for taking such good care of our girl.”
“Kristin always provides updates on our elderly girl, Mya. She gives Mya meds when needed. And she tries hard to find ways to get our picky girl to eat her food. We can relax while Mya is in Kristin’s care know she is a great caretaker!”

“My girl Cheddar had a great time with Karlyn! She and her daughter took excellent care of Cheddar, showered her with lots of love and cuddles, and made her feel comfortable while I was away. Karlyn was responsive when I needed her, proactively communicative with updates and pictures, and flexible with scheduling pickup and dropoff. Cheddar looks forward to her next visit and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“I want to say how much I love Carley. I am such a nervous Nelly when it comes to my Mickey. Carley took the time to understand his needs and schedule. I received daily updates and pictures. These updates made my days away much more relaxing. I will definitely use Carley again and again.”
“Our dogs had an amazing time at Danielle’s place! She sent frequent updates so I felt totally confident they were in great hands. Both pups felt so comfortable with her — a testament to her patience and kindness as a home away from home!!! I would absolutely LOVE to book with her again!!”
About: More than just a sitter, I’m your pups new playdate buddy! My name’s is Katlyn! This is my first time on Rover but I’m ready to meet and help out some awesome pup parents! When it comes to experience with pets, I have had 2 small dogs that I grew up with, which now I have to go a visit since I no longer live with them:( I’ve always felt very passionate about animals and I’m ready to make caring for them and helping others apart of my everyday life! Having that said, I have been a medical assistant for the past 5 years, although I am currently not working at the moment so needless to say I’m very flexible! My main option here is dog walking and house drop ins but I am also open to having your dogs come and hang out at my place if needed! Communication is my best friend. Tell me what you need, after all, these are your babies and while they’re with me I will treat them like my own! Expect lots of picture updates while you’re away from your fur baby as well! Send me any questions and I’ll be happy to answer 🥰 I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible at the moment while I am looking for a new job! Let me know what you need and we will work it out! I live in an apartment but that doesn’t stop us! I have a ton of places near me to get out all your pups energy! I only handle one client at time so my focus is solely on your furry babies!
“Melissa is amazing!! She was able to fit us in on short notice, and right from the meet and greet, Rusty was immediately comfortable with her. She has such a nice yard for dogs to play and relax too! Rusty also seemed really happy and well cared for at pickup. I would definitely book with her again!!”
“Laurie was wonderful with my dog Zoey. She was so sweet and nurturing with her from the very first time we met her. She gave me daily updates with photos, easing my mind while I was away. Zoey was treated as part of their family, and was happy. I am so happy that I found Laurie to care for Zoey, because I can go away knowing that she is well taken care of. Thank you so much Laurie, you're the best!”
“Brijana was amazing with our Mona. Mona is a special needs dog and Brijana’s care, skill, attentiveness to Mona, and communication with us was impeccable. She had a few visits with Mona prior to boarding and quickly broke the ice with Mona as well as gathering details about her special need to fully execute the highest level of care. We couldn’t be more grateful for her service and support.”
“Alyssa and Marcus were great. They took great care of Barney and kept me posted with pictures during his stay. I would recommend them to others looking for good and responsible dog sitters.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,761 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Florence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
94% of sitters in Florence can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Florence home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Florence.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florence. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Florence 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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 NJ 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
