“Karina was extremely professional and caring. She treated Dutch with love and respect, and she even gave me grace when I had an emergency and was running behind schedule. She gave me regular updates and even paid special attention to Dutch’s diet. I would gladly use her again when available and needed.”
“"We could not have asked for a better sitter this past weekend! From the very first update, it was clear that our dog was in incredible hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. They truly treated our pup like family. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a top-tier, trustworthy sitter!"”
“Poliana was amazing with my sweet boy, she was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Felt safe leaving my dog with her! Will definitely be using again!”
“Cristal and her Husband were amazing with Finley and Remy. Would definitely use them again. Communication was great, pictures were very nice, and they even worked with us when we were running behind to pick them up. Lovely people and great sitters.”
“Our family has used the services of many pet sitters over the years, and Bruce is phenomenal. I'm very picky about who I choose for a pet sitter, and Bruce will be my go-to from now on. Bruce is extremely organized and professional. From the moment we booked to the moment we picked up our dog (Bernard), my husband and I were extremely confident with Bruce. He only takes on a certain number of dogs to provide the best service possible. When my husband dropped off Bernard, Bruce kept all Bernard's supplies together and wrote down all his belongings on Bernard's information form. Bernard has some behavior issues like leash aggression and marking his territory, and Bruce was clearly experienced and very professional at dealing with those issues (just call him the "dog whisperer"). He introduced Bernard in a safe way to the other dogs in his care, and all the dogs had a fabulous time playing! When my husband picked up Bernard, all of his belongings were packed up and Bruce was waiting outside with Bernard on a leash. Couldn't be happier with how well cared for our dog was! Thanks so much, Bruce!”
“Caroline was wonderful with Oliver. She kept me updated throughout his visit and sent pictures showing Oliver enjoying himself. I highly recommend her services and look forward to having her watch my puppy in the future. It is such a relief to know that my puppy was in good hands so I didn’t have to worry about him.”
“Troy and his family were wonderful with our 2 corgis! We were able to leave town and enjoy ourselves knowing they were being so well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Marie was kind, attentive, and communicative! She consistently provided updates on Maggie May’s comfort level. She also immediately reached out if she identified any behavior of concern. She even went out to buy pumpkin for Maggie’s upset stomach because I had neglected to pack some for her. Thank you so much Marie for taking such great care of my baby! ❤️”
“My Fred had a great time! He sent photos and updates, kept Fred on his usual feeding and walk routine, and clearly gave him plenty of attention and playtime. Fred came home happy, relaxed and well cared for.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest City
Alex and Natalya watched our two dachshund boys, Fris and BB, for a week during our daughter’s wedding. They sent so many wonderful photos and regular updates, which made us feel completely comfortable and reassured while we were away. Fris and BB were treated like family! Thank you both so much for taking such great care of our boys—we'll definitely be back!
Carolina and her family took great care of my Loki. I was worried at first but she put my worries at ease with consistent flow of pictures, videos and communication. Loki got to play in her backyard with some other smaller dogs and it seems to have gone better than anticipated. Carolina was able to take my request to watch Loki for two weeks the evening before I was due to leave. She was a lifesaver! Thank you.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Troy and Juliana. I definitely found my forever pet sitter. I received photos, videos, and updates daily. They even prepared special meals when he wouldn’t eat his dog food. Thank you again to the entire family for your loving care of Bodie!
Denys took great care of Tika while we were away for travel. We were nervous because it was our first time boarding her but our normally anxious dog settled right in. Denys provided updates throughout the trip and promptly answered texts. We really appreciate her family and will use her again in the future!
Lenis and her son, Jose, took really good care of both of my dogs. One of them is a rescue who is very shy and they were very understanding, giving her the space she needed to be comfortable. Their dog Oliver is also very sweet and played very well with my miniature poodle. House is very clean and has a nice yard for the dogs. Will definitely book again!!
Pricilla is just the best. I’m big on punctuality but I had an emergency and was late for my original drop time and she was so patient with me. Which I appreciated so much. As soon as I drop my baby off and we drove off I received a picture from her I was surprised. But it was reassuring to see that she was already settling in. Each day I received pictures and videos update to seeing my baby playing with other friends and having fun. It was never delayed when I ask about how she is doing. I would get a response from her with seconds. After day one away from her I was more missing her than worrying about if she was okay. Priscilla took extremely good care of my baby and I was elated with her professionalism and making my heart settle just to see her giving me update when and when I don’t ask for it. Thank you Priscilla for such an amazing care of Blossom 🌸 and I will definitely be seeing you soon.Thanks from Blossom and I. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
We have Boarded with Lisett many times because she gives Juniper the best of love! She treats her just as her own dogs to the point where Juniper seems excited when she gets to stay at her house! Juniper is a toy destroyer and even tho I try to prepare Lisette the best I can but she also provides some for her too. She keeps Junipers schedule and takes her on fun activities!!!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Forest City 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 Forest City 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 Forest City.
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 Forest City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Forest City 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 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.
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.
