“Couldn’t be more pleased with the care that this adorable family provided for our dog. Layla really enjoyed her time with them getting lots of love, snuggles and attention. They have a nice home with a great backyard. I liked how they incorporated Layla into their daily life. Both children are so good with animals and I know she loved playing and snuggling with them! She is one tired doodle today!”

She responded quickly to requests and communication and made us feel confident that our dogs were well taken care of. We were able to have a nice mini-vacation with zero stress! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated on their status. Will definitely be repeat clients!! Thank you, Natalie!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets since I was 15yrs old, and I grew up in a home with cats, dogs and chickens. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets. I currently work part-time from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care your fur baby! I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends 😊 I have a fenced yard with plenty space for your fur baby to roam and play/run around. I also have a medium size friendly poodle to keep your fur baby company. I like to see the fur babies loose inside the house, but if you prefer I keep your fur baby in a crate as needed I can accommodate that, which ever makes you and your fur baby more comfortable.

Would leave him 10 stars if I could (and would like to thank him for all he has done accommodating all of our recent home issues and taking care of her longer than anticipated) he is the best.”

About: Dogs have pretty much always been a part of my life! 🐶 I grew up with dogs and have had two of my own as an adult, plus I’m the go-to dog sitter for plenty of friends. I love everything from long walks and playtime to relaxing on the couch with a furry friend. I’ll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, belly rubs, and care while you’re away — basically, they’ll have their own little vacation! 🐾 I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and pet sitting on weekends, with the occasional exception if I already have a weekend trip planned. I’m also happy to work with you ahead of time to make sure the dates and schedule are a good fit! 🐾 I have a fenced-in yard where pups can safely get some fresh air and play, and there are several parks nearby for walks and extra exercise. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and right at home while they’re with me. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and any other care instructions you provide. 🐾

We especially appreciated how many updates and photos she sent each day, which gave us peace of mind and made it easy to see that our pup was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Liz provided for our sweet fur baby, Pepper! From start to finish, Liz was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. Her communication was fantastic, and we loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures throughout Pepper’s stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Pepper gives Liz two paws up! 🐾❤️

Kelly was absolutely amazing with my golden retriever, Leia\! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving Leia in her care\. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs\. Kelly sent me lots of photos and videos throughout Leia’s stay, which I absolutely loved and really put my mind at ease\. Leia looked so happy and relaxed, and I could tell she was being very well cared for\. Kelly was also wonderful to work with , reliable, easy to communicate with, and incredibly flexible\. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog is such a great feeling, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Leia with Kelly again\. I highly recommend her and feel very lucky to have found her\!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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. 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.

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, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
