“David is absolutely amazing! He watched my senior dog while I was out of town for a weekend and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog Cupid felt like he was at home and not with a stranger. David by far is the best host I think anyone can ask and I’ll always be using David in the future! Only downside is I feel like my dog Cupid didn’t want to come with me because he has such a great time with David lol”
“I was so happy that I found Linda! I had not been taking vacations because I did not have a dog sitter because I was new to Florida. She was so careful and loving with Pippy. Pippy is on medication and she was very good to make sure she got it twice a day. She provided updates on Pippy’s care. I feel so blessed to have Linda and now I can take vacations with a peace of mind!”
“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“Dan is a great host. My little girl had a great time. Big backyard for her to run and play with her new friends. Lots of pics and great communication will definitely use again...Thank you so much”
“Kaitlyn did such an amazing job! She was wonderful and kept me updated throughout the week and sent lots of photos and videos! I would definitely recommend:)”
“Julie & Brian took great care of Frankie! They were very sweet and communicated how he was doing and sent the sweetest pictures. They were able to handle giving him medicine for his health issues. He came home relaxed and calm, so I know he felt safe and comfortable being with them.”
“Natalia and Kyler took amazing care of our dog Maverick. He had so much fun playing with their son and going on outings. They sent so many pictures and updates it made us smile and we realized Maverick was having a great vacation with them.”
“AJ did a great job making Chase feel welcomed and safe. He did a great job keeping me up to date with how he was doing and sending photos of Chase. Very accommodating and easy to work with.!!!!’”
“Jeff’s stay with Tracey and Ziggy were fantastic. I cannot thank her enough for taking great care of Jeff, sending updates, and being flexible! We had a meet and greet prior to Jeff’s stay, and it went swimmingly! Tracey was cautious and gave us warnings for Ziggy’s excitement, but Jeff is the same way. So, I was not worried one bit but appreciated the warning. She was accommodating to Jeff’s exploration of her home and messy drinking. She asked great questions specifically about food since Jeff stayed with her over Thanksgiving. As a fellow dog mom, i felt reassured! On the day that I dropped off Jeff, I had to have someone else drop him off and Tracey was extremely flexible with that as well as timing. I shared a note with general instructions and information for Jeff. Daily, she would text me with updates from Jeff’s POV which i thought was adorable! Pick up was also a breeze even though I wasn’t there. I normally have to follow up with sitters to ask if Jeff needs his evening feed, but before I could get to it, Tracey texted me! It’s the little things that count. Tracey went above and beyond my expectations! Jeff will definitely be back to stay with her in the future. 10/10 would recommend.”
“We just completed our 3rd stay and again couldn't be happier! Angela and Kenny are beyond great with my 2 senior dogs and my spunky 4 year old. :) They always go above and beyond and I love love love all the photos and videos I get when we are away!”
“I highly recommend Alexa! As a nervous new dog mom, I was hesitant to leave my puppy, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured. She was trustworthy, communicated promptly, and sent photos and updates every day while caring for my pup. Knowing that she is a nursing student also gave me added confidence in her responsibility and attentiveness. Her dogs had so much fun playing with my puppy, and it was clear that my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Pam is fantastic with our two labradoodles. She walks them several times a day, sends photos and videos of them walking the neighborhood and snuggling at home. She is responsive and very reliable, and she obviously loves dogs. We feel completely comfortable with her caring for our pups when we travel.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats for the past 10 years! From having animals of my own to dog sitting privately through friends, family, people on facebook and used to work for a pet sitting company back home! I am very patient with all ages and breeds and i’m active so i’m more than happy to provide exercise. From walks, running and my apartment complex has an indoor doggy park incase it’s too hot! Pets are also allowed on my furniture because i know how important snuggles are 🥰 I bartend so my schedule is flexible and days aren’t very long. I can have an active day with your pet or lazy whatever they prefer! I am able to provide whatever is requested! I’m able to bathe, play and snuggle. Whatever they want to do on their little vacation! I know it’s important that dogs feel loved while their owners are awat
“Highly recommend! My pup had been attacked unprovoked in the past and Grant was so patient & kind with Shay and my own anxieties. His pup Koda is so sweet and they were best friends! 100% will use Grant again.”
“Lynne & Luis were amazing sitters for my dog and made sure that she was comfortable throughout the entire stay. They sent daily updates and pictures. It was clear that my dog had a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

David C. is the best sitter ever! Our family dog was carted for and lived like he was at home. David is so kind and wonderful, our family dog fell in love with, as did we. I don’t know how we will ever thank him for it’s love and kindness of our family dog! Thank you David!!!
Kathleen was amazing! She sent tons of updates and photos and was super accommodating when my flight schedule changed. My dog loved her backyard so much she didn’t even want to leave! Kathleen was great about managing her wet and dry food routine, and my dog had such a fun time that she fell fast asleep the second we got home. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Kathleen in the future!
I’m so glad I found Maria! I needed someone last minute, and she was happily able to watch my pup without any issues. She was super communicative the whole time and kept me updated, which really gave me peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my dog and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!

We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for Jax! He was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time we were away. Regular updates and photos of Jax gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious he was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
Gabrielle was an awesome dog sitter for our old lady! She met us quickly for an introduction and was more than happy to help for a few days to get to know our girl. She handled all of her personality, corks perfectly, and was very responsive. We will definitely be using her again!
Geraldin was absolutely fantastic for my dog (golden/collie mix) while I was out of town for five days! Tucker remained very active - both around her neighborhood, as well as taken to dog parks and around the community! Tucker came home and was exhausted (which to me is one happy boy!). She was very kind and attentive to his needs, as well as of my instructions etc. for Tucker. I received daily photos, and he was given so much love and attention. I will ABSOLUTELY have Geraldin watch my fur baby for all boarding needs in the future!!! 💗🐾🐶🐶 11/10 recommend Geraldin!!
Tara Lee was phenomenal! We were very impressed with her communication and attention to detail with our pup. I know he loved the big back yard and walks, but she was also great at one on one attention. She will definitely be our top choice for future dog sitting! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Gandy home-away-from-home, 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 Gandy.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 and your Gandy 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 , 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 .
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.
