“Debi and her husband took really good care of Molly. We are so lucky to have found someone so kind and loving near our home. Molly can be a handful at times with her terrier energy but everything went great and they were super communicative and accommodating. Would definitely book again.”
“Lydia was so fantastic with my golden retriever, Tucker, he had so much fun with her!! We’ll definitely be back in the future for more bookings! :) Definitely recommend”
“Natalia and her family took such amazing care of my pups while I was gone for a long weekend! Both of my pups love kids and had such a good time they didn’t want to leave 😂 We encountered bad weather in the trip back home and she was so flexible and understanding, allowing them to stay an extra night! and the fact that they were with someone around the clock made gave me so much relief since they both are with me all day working remote. 100% recommend and will be coming back to Natalia to sit on my next trip!”
“I’m soo glad I chose Taina to keep my baby Golden she sent pictures often and treated my fur baby as if he was her own with feeding time, play time and long walks etc.. I would recommend her and definitely book with her again in the future I was so nervous at first but soon after I was relieved she is definitely a heaven sent. Thank you again 🙏🏾”
“The reviews speak for themselves and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to submit my own. Believe the 5 start reviews. Words don’t do Eben justice. For the first time I was able to sleep through the night knowing my dog was being taken care of as if I were there with him. The abundance of picture updates, texts, and checks in brought me the kind of peace money doesn’t buy. The prices are similar to boarding facilities but the quality of care is unmatched. Imagine the best version of yourself watching your dog while you’re away. Eben has the caring soul you look for when picking a sitter, just pure love and attention for your furry fam. He’s a natural at reading, studying, and understanding your dog, their personality and behaviors. It’s obvious he puts time into knowing his clients and their needs. Again, there’s not enough words or space in this box to describe the admiration I have for him and his care. I live 13 hours away and I’d unhesitatingly make the drive to FL just for him to watch my dog on long term stays time and time again. My dog is worth receiving the best care, and that just so happens to be Eben. Thank you for all you did!”
“Skyler had a blast over at Camilla's place. During Skyler's stay she sent pictures and updates on her and when my husband and I picked her up she had so much energy! We will definitely use Camilla again!!”
“Natalie was great ! We left our boxer Kane with her for 2.5 weeks and she kept us up to date with photos and videos of Kane everyday. She responded to our messages in a timely manner and was very polite. We travel a lot and are very happy to have found her as it is very scary to leave your furry babies with strangers. She also has a dog that became really good friends with Kane which was a plus! We highly recommend her.”
“My 2nd time using Carmel was just as great as the first. Carmel (and her family) are so friendly and accommodating. Cali LOVES going to Carmel's house and it makes it so much easier to go away. Will be dropping Cali off for her 3rd - and longest - visit tomorrow and know she'll be in good hands.”
“Dave was wonderful with Scooby, our dog, during his weekend stay. Scooby also enjoyed being at Dave’s house from the many pictures he sent us. The large yard gave plenty of space for Scooby to roam and discover. We liked that Scooby was the only pet. We absolutely with no reservations recommend Dave for your pet.”
“Rebecca is quick at communicating and I got daily photos and fast replies. She has plenty of space and is very kind. She asked about my preferences for feeding and crating my pup. Her pup, Pepper, was sweet and played well with mine (after just a little grumbling from Pepper to let mine know it’s peppers house lol but both tails were wagging like crazy). Rebecca is a great pet sitter. I definitely recommend her, and would love to return to her as long as she’s available.”
“I highly recommend Nika & Armando for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! They took such great care of Myla, making sure she was well-loved and entertained. Having their own two dogs was a huge plus, as it gave Myla plenty of playtime and companionship. We especially appreciated them taking her to the park to run around and burn off energy—she came home happy and tired!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 18 years and grew up surrounded by pups, so caring for dogs feels like second nature to me. I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies who never sit still to sweet senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and some gentle love. I’m also experienced with giving medications and helping dogs who need a little extra care or patience. What sets me apart? I treat every dog like they’re my own ..spoiled, loved, and talked to like they actually understand me (because let’s be real, they totally do). Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just laying around doing absolutely nothing, I’ve got them covered. I’ll also keep you in the loop with plenty of cute updates along the way! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dogs out several times a day and keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and cared for.🫶 When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed from the moment they arrive. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and a peaceful environment for dogs of all ages. I want each dog to feel right at home. For walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid high-traffic areas or unfamiliar dogs unless discussed beforehand. Whether your pup is staying with me or just joining me for a stroll, you can count on me to treat them with love, patience, and the same level of care I give my own dogs.
“Alex was amazing with Bear- her communication and responsiveness was great! Alex did a great job updating us throughout her drop-ins! I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for pet sitter! Will be using her again in the future!”
About: Dogs are my passion! To me this isn’t a job but a hobby and a way for owners to feel at ease when having to leave their dog. I grew up with dogs and my family dogs do not live with me in my apartment so I’m always looking for dog company! From long walks to playing fetch, I will keep your dog entertained and cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your dog. I typically work from home 2-3 days a week and can be flexible on which days to accommodate scheduling requests. Always available on fridays and weekends for the most part. I’m in an apartment building on the 6th floor. We have a dog park on site but I would also just walk your dog around the area. (Whatever you prefer). I’m very cautious with elevators and wouldn’t ride one if another dog is in it at the same time. I also like to provide pics and updates to the owner throughout the day so they feel at ease. I have a roommate who also loves dogs and has one as well - a shitzu. He is very friendly and calm.

Fort Lauderdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Valeria has been absolutely amazing! She is super professional, caring, and attentive. Watson felt completely at home with her, and we could tell he was happy and well looked after. She kept us posted every day with pictures and updates. We’ve already booked another stay with her — highly recommended!
Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Birdy! From the very start, she was attentive and dependable, making us feel confident that Birdy was in the best of care. We truly appreciated the thoughtful updates and adorable pictures she sent—they gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Birdy was clearly happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Christy and Ben were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I needed a dog sitter last minute and they were fantastic in communication and extremely accommodating. My dog Philly fell in love with them. They looked after her like she was their own and sent loads of pics and videos and messages whilst Philly stayed with them. I will 100% be using them in future 🙏🏼 Thanks Christy and Ben
I left my fur baby with Cynthia for a week and she was amazing! She updated me daily with pictures and got back to me quickly on any questions or concerns. My dog is 12 years old and takes daily vitamins and Cynthia was great with all that and giving him 1 on 1 attention and love. When I picked him up, he was happy and healthy. I would 100% recommend Cynthia!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Samoyed, Winnie! She watched Winnie for 3 days and treated her like part of the family. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was cared for, played with, and loved. She sent us regular updates, adorable photos, and made us feel completely at ease the entire time we were away. Winnie can be a little particular, but she bonded with her right away. We’ll definitely be booking again
Katie and Thomas, a wonderful father-daughter duo, took care of our 8-year-old Shih Tzu, Mika, for 12 days, and we couldn’t be happier with their service! They were absolutely amazing—reliable, caring, and true animal lovers. They sent multiple photos and videos every day, keeping us updated on Mika’s adventures and ensuring we felt at ease while away. They also diligently administered Mika’s medication, showing their attention to detail and commitment to her well-being. Their genuine love for animals shone through, as they were visibly sad when we picked Mika up—she clearly had a fantastic time with them! Katie and Tom are 100% trustworthy, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you both for treating Mika like family!
