“I had such a wonderful experience with Maria ! She took amazing care of my dog and treated him with so much love and attention. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loved him and made him feel right at home. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine, providing plenty of attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll take the time to accommodate individual needs and routines. All the little details are important to me, I’ll keep you updated with photos & messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! My priority will always be to treat your pet like family and give them the same love, patience and attention I would want and give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet :) I currently work some part time shifts, but Im primarily a stay at home dog mom🥰, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! I live in a safe, pet friendly apartment community with a dog park, and my 1 yr old toy poodle Stella, is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. If your pup is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have a little playmate during their stay! And if you prefer care in your home or need pet walking, I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s environment and routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Antonio was great! Tulum, our Shiba Inu, is a very shy dog and a bit anxious around strangers but after a day or so he became friends with Antonio. We got daily updates and pictures from him. We felt comfortable knowing Tulum was doing well. We would definitely book Antonio again.”
“Anita was fantastic! I highly recommend her. My very clingy bulldog could have cared less when I came in to pick him up after our vacation. He greeted me and then went right back to lounging comfortably in her home. I could tell he enjoyed his stay and that he was happy and comfortable under Anita's care. She has excellent communication and she was able to administer his medication. I will use her services again.”
“Kristi was a life saver before my trip to turkey the wee of thanksgiving. That week everywhere was booked to max; and thank God Kristi had room to board KING for me. While I’m Turkey I received updates on king and when I got back my King was save and sound. She took good care of him and nurture him as refused to eat at first. Kristi thank you so much for saving me that week and taking care of my Big baby.”
“Five stars aren’t enough for Ariel. While we were on vacation, we experienced an unexpected death in our family and suddenly needed our senior dog boarded for an extra week. During an incredibly difficult and emotional time, Ariel stepped in with compassion, flexibility, and genuine care that went far beyond what we could have hoped for. Our senior dog was so well taken care of — Ariel made sure he received all of his medications, got regular exercise suited to his needs, and, most importantly, was surrounded by love. It brought us so much comfort knowing he was safe, happy, and even making new friends while we handled such a painful situation. We will be forever grateful for Ariel’s kindness, understanding, and the exceptional care she gave our dog when we needed it most. She is truly special, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Gheraldine was able to board Duke last minute. She was friendly and kind. Duke appeared to have a great time. She kept me updated all weekend and I will book again.”
“Debi and Tom were the absolute best! I was in a bind with a last minute work trip and I reached out to Debi and she was able to accommodate me for the same day. Coming back from my trip, my flight was delayed and they had no issue with staying an extra day with Fluffy. I received pictures everyday and they were very attentive to my Fluffy, who is a 20 year old poodle. I will be using Debi and Tom again.”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“Nicole, is the sitter I was hoping for, I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to leave my Angel under her care. Romeo felt at home, the love and care she has for her own family, she extended to mine. No doubt, love multiplies in this home. Thank you Nicole!”
“Jessica was amazing while my goldendoodle stayed with her. She personally committed to sending me videos and pictures of Numa so many times throughout the day that I felt as though I i was still with my pup. She has a very calm and comforting nature with dogs which I got to see in action during our meet and greet. Jessica texted me with questions whenever something came up in handling my dog. She’s great!!!”
“I have a senior dog, and Diana was incredibly patient and attentive with him. She created a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where he felt right at home. Her communication was excellent—she sent me daily updates and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Amazing Experience Again! This is the second time I’ve used Catherine’s dog boarding service, and once again, everything was perfect. Dexy felt comfortable and well-cared-for, just like the first time. Catherine is reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to make sure all my dog’s needs are met. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and will definitely continue using her services in the future!”
“Tracey was the perfect sitter for my dog over the Thanksgiving Holiday and he loved his time with her pups, all of who were adorable! Especially Rocket, apparently him and my pup, Bart, were two of a kind! I never once had to worry while I was on vacation. Thank you, for taking care of my puppers!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She took great care of Ellie and kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Ellie was well cared for and loved. We would definitely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“Taina took great care of Ivy. She is a senior, blind dog with diabetes. All of these conditions call for special care. Taina met all of Ivy’s needs and provided a comfortable experience. Ivy was a happy and healthy girl when I picked her up. I would wholeheartedly recommend Taina for anyone whose dog needs special care.”
“Arlen was great. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything was a good fit, and Lady, who is normally a very anxious dog, seemed super comfortable right away and immediately started exploring the space. Arlen sent daily pictures and was very accommodating throughout the stay. My flight was canceled the day I was supposed to pick Lady up, and Arlen truly saved the day by being flexible and able to continue accommodating her. It spared me the added stress of worrying about boarding plans while already dealing with the stress of canceled travel. I would absolutely book with him again.”

Carmel was outstanding! She took such good care of Speedy, was extremely thoughtful and considerate of her needs, took excellent care of my baby, sent photos, covered her in her favorite blanket and took her on walks. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter, she is the best!
Jose took great care of my dog while I was overseas for 2.5 weeks. He genuinely loves dogs. My dog enjoyed her time with him. He fed her as advised with the cooked food I provided. When I picked up my dog, she looked happy. Jose also handed me back washed bowls, which I much appreciated. I have had sitters hand me back dirty, stained dog bowls in the past. I would use his service again.
Scott was amazing with our dog! He gave us great updates throughout our trip, and it was clear that our dog was having the best time with him. They became best friends, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!
Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She came to my rescue with a very last-minute, urgent request and welcomed Romeo into her home for several nights. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent me a million photos (which me and my daughters LOVED!) and incredibly detailed daily updates about every possible thing Romeo was doing. I never once had to wonder how he was doing because she kept me completely updated throughout his stay. Her own dog is super friendly, and Romeo settled right in with absolutely no issues. It was such a relief knowing he was comfortable, happy, safe, and being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful she was able to help me on such short notice, and I will 100% be using her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care about their dog and give them plenty of attention and love. Romeo definitely found himself a new home away from home! 🐾❤️
My dogs seem happy. I didn’t get a chance to meet Camilla but met with her mom. Really nice. The home was very cozy and clean. I loved that they gave me updates on our pups which was important to us. We’ve never left them with anyone before. We so glad we did and will again. I recommend them for your pets. Thank you so much. Look forward in the future.
I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Anita! She was very responsive, transparent, and made me feel comfortable from drop-off to pick-up. It was obvious my dog was loved and well taken care of from the moment I picked her up. I'm so glad I found a kind, experienced, and trustworthy person to care for my dog-daughter when I'm away.

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.
