“I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this sweet woman and her daughter! They were absolutely amazing with Marlee, and I’m so grateful they were willing to take him in last minute. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. They were so loving, gentle, and caring with him, and I especially appreciated how they kept me updated throughout his entire stay. As a dog mom, that meant so much to me because I could see that he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being loved and cared for. 🥹❤️🐾 Marlee was so well taken care of, and I’m truly thankful for the kindness they showed him. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I will absolutely be booking with them again the next time I’m out of town! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable to care for their fur baby. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! Marlee definitely has two new friends. 🥰🐾❤️”
“Anita kept me updated with photos throughout my trip and treated my dog as her own. She slept in Anita’s room and got to hang out in the backyard and go on walks. Will book again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kristi was the perfect dog sitter! I can tell my pup was well taken care of and happy. She sent me updates and pictures. Her kids and dogs were great with Rotsoe. Amazing communicator and a wonderful, clean, safe home. I recommend her especially for the anxious dog owners like me lol.I will be definitely using her again.”
“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!”
“Debi is the best! Our little Brody always has a great time! It’s very reassuring to be able to go away and know Brody is in loving and caring hands when we are away. Debi is always immediately responsive and an amazing dog sitter.”
“Jennifer is a real find! Her communication response is very fast and it was really great to receive so many photos of Ted while I was away. The back yard is Teds idea of paradise with lots of places to sniff and explore. I will definitely use again.”

“Ariel was truly incredible! She loved Billie so much I don’t think she even noticed I was gone. It can be hard leaving your pet with a stranger for the first time but Ariel made me feel so comfortable and gave me constant updates! I will 100% rebook with her in the future!”
“Gael took care of my Chyna for a week when I was away. My Chyna is a nervous house pup who is wee wee pad trained and being out of her normal environment was a bit challenging for her. Gael was very patient and kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages.”

“Milly definitely had a vacation with Kristy and her family. She was so happy coming home after her staying. I could tell Kristy and her family treated Milly as part of the family and gave her everything they could to make her feel welcome. Milly can’t wait for her next vacation at Kristy’s.”

Franklin loved it, thank you Petra!”
“Brought my Pit Bull mix to Lee Ann’ home, I’m always nervous leaving him with a stranger as he has a past history of being abused. Lee Ann and her family welcomed Buster into their home and promptly made him feel loved and made him feel part of their family. Lee Ann sent many photos and videos daily. Buster can’t wait to return and play with Molly and the rest of the family.”

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.
Madison was amazing with my dog! I can’t say enough good things about her. She was extremely punctual, friendly, and above all - a great friend and mother to my dog. She goes out of her way to provide the best care to animals and truly show them love. She also works hard to keep your pet safe. I would recommend her to anyone!
This is our 3rd time with Jessica she's the greatest not just her the whole family are awesome for as long as she's in this service we won't hesitate for one second ❤️ cause she is really care I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation our babies love the entire family 5 stars 🌟 🤩

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.
