“Maya was a great "mom" to our 2 senior dogs - Mitzy and Daisy. She is very responsive. Maya sent us video and pictures of our fur babies while we were away which added to our peace of mind. We highly recommend her!”
“My dog Annie had the most wonderful “vacation” at Carlos and Claudia’s incredible doggie hotel. They have an immaculate dog park in their yard with a playground just for dogs, and they care for multiple dogs, and group them according to size. Annie loves to run in the park and be chased by dogs, so it was the perfect place for her to spend five days being cared for by a wonderful couple and socializing and playing with other dogs.”
“Toby’s six-day visit with Jacqueline M. was a success. Her home was neat, uncluttered, safe, and her yard was beautifully maintained with grass. Jacqueline kept me updated with comments and photos concerning my 11 year old golden doodle. We will definitely be using Jacqueline M. again. Thank you Rover.com. Sincerely, Maureen Milne and Frank Lavezzi”
“Gabriela is totally awesome, she took excellent care of my two dogs for three and a half days and sent me awesome vids and updates throughout the entire time of them playing in the yard. Highly recommend her to pet sit, thank you some much!”
“Athena seemed to really enjoy staying here! Jada was amazing and very quick to respond, which really eased my nerves about leaving her. Athena will definitely be coming back! 😊”
“Chris was the perfect match for our dog. His calm and gentle nature made Brindie feel right at home. He was communicative with us during her stay, enabling us to relax knowing she was in good hands. I totally recommend him for your pet sitting needs. Maggie B.”
“Jocelynn and Kathryn took great care of our senior ladies on short notice. We received photo updates and the girls came back to us in great shape. We sincerely appreciate their help and the peace of mind we enjoyed while away.”
“Yanjing was fantastic! Our dog Marina stayed for 12 days and had a blast. Marina was well cared for by Yanjing and family. Yanjing is a great communicator, speedy responses, posted pics and easy going. Marina cannot wait to come back!”
“Jose took very good care of our labs. I would highly recommend his services. He went above and beyond when our return was delayed, he brought our dogs over to our home for us and we so much appreciated it.”
“Ellie couldn’t have better care!!!! She was spoiled and I didn’t worry about her for a second!!! Thank you so much! She’s going to miss you guys! We really appreciated the daily photos and updates!”

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.
“Laurel was absolutely amazing! She is so kind and caring! She took such great care of my little six pound Maltese, Gracie. Laurel sent me many photos every day! I felt very confident Gracie was with the right person! Gracie had so much fun with Laurel, her daughter Luca and the two other dogs Laurel was caring for. It was truly a wonderful experience for Gracie and I. I highly recommend Laurel and will definitely use her again and recommend her to all my friends.❤️🐶❤️”
“Chris and his girlfriend were absolutely lovely. I had to make a last minute trip a few states away and he was more than happy to help watch my two dogs. They sent plenty of funny pictures and videos of them having a good time. They were well taken care of and happy while we were away!”
“Thank you Darcy for taking great care of our Bear. He seems to have greatly benefited from being with you and your boys as he now is wiling to walk more (this is new). Bear really enjoyed having a yard and other dogs to be with which I think he misses since we moved to Florida. Thank you for all the daily pictures which helped put my mind at ease.”

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 Harker 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 Harker.
<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 Harker 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.
