“I am extremely grateful with Mario y Yanet for the excellent care of my pet, Cookie. From the very beginning, it was clear that Cookie was in loving, responsible, and professional hands. Communication was outstanding, and I was always kept informed and reassured. Cookie was happy, well cared for, and treated like family. I would absolutely recommend this caregiver to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”
“Janeth was very kind , responsive, and sent pictures of his wellbeing constantly without any need of asking. She took very good care of Milton, and he was happy staying with her.”

“If I could give Nathalia 100 stars I would! She goes above and beyond for our family. Not only is she amazing with our pups and cat but for my husband and I helping with simple things like putting away packages from the front of the house or sewing up our dog beds when she sees they’ve been messed around with. She is absolutely incredible and have felt so happy with her service”

We received pictures and videos throughout the weekend letting us know Brownie was happy and safe. Would definitely recommend them, and hopefully be able to use them as a dog sitter again in the future.”
“Daysy and her family were amazing! I’ve received daily updates (pictures and lots of videos). The entire family spent so much time with my Cooper. Daysy was available last minute due to another dog sitter cancelation and I could not be happier with that because now I found the new staycation place for my big boy when I’m out of town and not able to take him. Definitely recommend her!! Thank you Daysy!”

Thank you so much, Natalia, for looking after Sugar for the first time. I’m very happy with your service because I needed someone to care for her while I was away—someone who would treat her just as I would! Sugar seemed calm and happy when I came to pick her up. I will certainly use your services again.
Thank you so much, Kiara, for taking such great care of our dog! Having a large dog like a German Shepherd can sometimes be challenging because it’s not always easy to find someone comfortable caring for him. We truly appreciate you looking after him during his stay. We received photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. When we picked him up, he was as playful as always, and that reassured us that he had been happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Kiara 100%! Thank you again for everything, we truly appreciate it!
Best pet sitter ever! This was my second time using the app, and the experience was perfect. She kept me updated every day with messages and photos, and she took the time to ask questions to really get to know my dog and his needs. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands. Thank you for everything—you went above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with you again!
Great! We couldn’t be happier with the care Rachel provided! From the start, it was clear that you understood just how much energy and personality comes with a JRT, and she handled it like a Pro. Chunky can definitely be a handful, but she kept him happy, engaged, and well cared for the entire time. We especially appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away; not easy to find someone who can match the enthusiasm and patience needed for a high-energy dog, but you absolutely delivered. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that says it all. Thank you again for going above and beyond we would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Jonathan was fantastic with my Aussiedoodle, Yenn! He was super communicative throughout the whole stay and sent photos and updates regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. Yenn came home happy and worn out, which is exactly what you want. Will 100% be rebooking. Highly recommend!
Sarinah was absolutely great! Excellent communication. Treats and cares for your dog as family! As a first time user of this app I was a bit uncertain. But, Sarinah definitely has earned my trust and I will definitely be contacting her again in the future 😊! Thank you Sarinah!
Emily was an exceptional, patient, and warm sitter! She kindly shared updates with pictures, and allowed me to pay her a visit before boarding so my pup (Sebastian) could meet her pups and chat about how my day to day goes with Sebastian. Thank you Emily for taking such good care of Sebas, I would be grateful to have you care for him for any future needs :)

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 Homestead Base 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 Homestead Base.
<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 Homestead Base 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.
