“This was Holly and Vader’s first experience with overnight care. They stayed with John & Gemma for 5 days. I was provided daily updates while in John & Gemma’s care. I picked up 2 happy and playful dogs, they seemed to have had a great experience.”
“Tiffany and Kirk are absolutely wonderful. We were able to fully relax on our family vacation because we knew our pup was receiving the same love and attention we give her at home. I appreciated the pictures and videos Tiffany sent throughout Mildred’s stay. Mildred had so much fun that we’ll be sending her back for doggy daycare in the near future ❤️”
“This was our first time using this app, and Katie made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her, she sent pictures several times a day and gave updates to me. I would recommend her to anyone, and next time we are close by we are planning to use her again!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs throughout my life, starting with my first dog, Brownie, who was part of my family for 11 wonderful years. That experience taught me how much patience, love, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for a dog. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of walks, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Your dog won’t simply be let out into the backyard and left there, they’ll get dedicated walks, activity, playtime, and attention. My goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and treated like family I work from home, so I’m here throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention and supervision. I offer daycare from 9am to 5pm and boarding. Your dog will have time for walks, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than simply being left outside. I work from home, providing constant supervision, daily walks, exercise, playtime with my dog, potty breaks, and care while following your dog’s routine and preferences for comfort

“This was my first time ever boarding my dog, or having a sitter that wasn’t a family member. Nattalie was wonderful with Onyx, I absolutely will be using her again if I ever need someone. She sent videos and pictures everyday. She was kind and loving to my fur baby. Could not recommend more 🤍”
“I adore Carolina!! And more important, so does my dog, Jade! Carolina kept me informed everyday with a text, a picture and sometimes a video! My flight was delayed coming home and she was very gracious about me picking her up later than expected. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica and her beautiful fur babies made my little guy feel right at home. I received pictures of Oliver playing and going on an early morning walk. I felt completely relax while away knowing that she was with a loving and caring person. As always, he came home and played a little bit and then on to sleep! Will definitely use her again’ ☺️☺️☺️”

“Highly recommend! From setting up a meet and greet before we left to sending pictures and updates while we were gone. It was such a relief while we were out of state to know our babies were being loved and taken care of.”
“They took such good care of our older dog, who has to take daily medication and has issues with other dogs. We got updates, pictures, and text messages, which was very reassuring and put us at ease. I would definitely recommend and use Violeger services again!”

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.
96% of sitters in Fort Lonesome 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 Fort Lonesome 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 Fort Lonesome.
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.

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 Fort Lonesome 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.
