I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who has always had a love for animals! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my 17-year-old Schnauzer, who had dementia and Cushing’s disease.

“Xan watched our 11 yr. old Maltese twice and we could not be luckier to have found her. She is definitely an animal lover and her pups are adorable and very well behaved. My little guy isn't the most social but he got along very well at Xan's apartment. I would highly recommend her and we will be asking her to watch Yeyo again.”
About: I have a large home with a great walking trail around a pond behind our home. We are super pet friendly and would love to watch yours! My husband and I both work from home so they won’t be alone. We also have a pool if they like to swim! I would love to entertain, love on, and take care of your dog! We both work from home so they will have someone with them and plenty of supervision throughout day and night. If they need someone to sleep with them that is no issue as we have a suite downstairs to use for that. We offer boarding, drop in/doggie daycare services. If they need their space we can accommodate that too. We have five bedrooms and I can also have them with me in my office.

About: I’m a veterinary technician with hands-on experience from working in a shelter, caring for both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from small breeds to large working dogs, as well as reactive, rescue, and more independent or “grumpy” pets. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for years and have had dogs my whole life. I’m comfortable with routines, medications if needed, and reading animal behavior to keep your pet safe and stress-free. Happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate daytime visits, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and any specific needs your pet may have. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have been around all and taken care of all sizes, ages and temperaments of dogs for years!! They are the absolute best! As a dog mom myself I understand the difficulty of trusting and finding someone to take care of my pal if I’m not able to. I know how important it is to find the right person that will give them the loving care our dogs deserve! I can provide that peace of mind!!! I am an elementary school teacher with tons of scheduling flexibility and love taking care of dogs! Walking dogs and the excitement their energy brings is a daily must! I have a big back yard and one older and very friendly Blue Heeler. We love to sit outside any chance we get and go on multiple walks a day. I do have a runner for our yard if certain dogs enjoy running around too. I can easily crate your dog if that is something you are interested in. I have a nice open house that your dog can roam freely. Any additional specific instructions you may have I will follow!

Paul was great! He kept me updated on Greta throughout her stay, even when I couldn’t respond because I had no cell service. He was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so much easier. His mom lives right next door and is always available to help if he’s not around. She was an absolute sweetheart, too! It was such a relief knowing Greta was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Paul and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!
Kristin was amazing! I was nervous about leaving my baby with someone, but she immediately put my mind at ease. I'm so glad I found her. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how my Yorkie, Toby, was doing throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Toby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
Monte absolutely loved staying at Emmy's house and had an absolute blast with her pups! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of him enjoying himself in their amazing yard. We already rebooked with her and absolutely love the peace of mind that she provided for me and Monte. Thank you so much!!
Cindy provided a wonderful environment for our dog Grace. Grace had so much fun and enjoyed playing with all the dogs. We loved all the photos Cindy provided to us to see how Grace was doing. We can't thank Cindy enough for all the great care she provided for our pups!
Charles did an awesome job with Duke, my male Rottweiler. Charles texted me regularly with updates and pictures on how Duke was doing. Duke’s visit was for 4 days and it went very well!!! Duke was able to exercise in Charles’s fenced in back yard. I would definitely book Charles again when I need to board Duke.
I highly recommend my dog’s caregiver! She treated my dog like family and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Always reliable, caring, and communicative, she truly went above and beyond. My dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found her!

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 Golden Gate 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 Golden Gate 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 Golden Gate.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden Gate. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Golden Gate 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.
