“Erica was great with my girls. She stopped by the house a few days before our scheduled pickup. I appreciated that. She took from her time to come and spend some time with my dogs to get to know them before bringing them into her home. She provided good communication with pictures of my girls well-being. I recommend Rover.com and if you’re in the central Florida area I recommend looking at Erica.”
“My babies were well cared for and super happy when I picked them up. They had plenty of play time with the other pups and spent the rest of their time happily lounging about on Chris’ lap.”
About: I care for your dogs and cats as the loved members of your family that they are. For a time, they are my family too. I am retired. I volunteer a couple of hours a week, but I am free to give your pets all the attention they need while you're away. I have a small yard but am happy to make sure we take nice walks for exercise, fresh air to say 'hi' to my friendly neighbors!
“Katie is amazing! We had to leave town for the weekend so we needed to find good care for our energetic Hank. I stumbled upon rover and found Katie, so I decided to message her right away, she responded within minutes! And that same conversation led us to our meet and greet the next day. When we got to the meet and greet, we were welcomed by Katie and her family, she has two older dogs and she created a safe place for Hank to meet her dogs individually first. All the dogs got along really well and we know that Hank was comfortable and happy to stay with Katie when we had to leave. During the stay with Katie, she was very good at communicating with me throughout the trip, and from the picture she sent us we know that Hank was having a great time. Katie is wonderful and if we ever have to look for care for hing, we will definitely come back to her!”
“I couldn't be happier with the love that Sunny got during his stay with Somer and her beautiful family! The pictures and updates i got daily truly kept my mind at ease that Sunny was getting the one on one care and attention that i give him. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Somer and Garrett! We will be back❤️”

About: **We may have lost our fur babies, but we certainly haven't lost our love for dogs!** ❤️🐾 We're Mike and Charity, a husband-and-wife team who believe that dogs aren't *just pets.* They're family. They're our best friends, our loyal companions, our four-legged children, and sometimes, the very best part of a long, difficult day. For years, our home was filled with the sounds of wagging tails, happy paws, squeaky toys, sloppy kisses, and the unconditional love that only a dog can give. First, there was our beautiful Golden Retriever, **Ally**, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the spring of 2015. Then came our sweet yellow Labrador Retriever, **Izzy**, who blessed our lives with more than nine wonderful years of love, laughter, companionship, and unforgettable memories. We recently said our heartbreaking goodbye to Izzy in September 2026, and to say our hearts are still healing would be an understatement. **Our home is a little quieter these days. Our hearts are a little heavier. And there's a special kind of emptiness where four paws and a wagging tail used to be.** While we're not quite ready to welcome another dog into our family permanently, we know one thing for certain: **We still have an enormous amount of love to give.** And that's why we're here! We would be absolutely delighted to welcome your precious doggo into our home, even if it's just for a little while. Whether you're heading out of town, taking a vacation, or simply need someone you can trust to love and care for your furry family member, we'd be honored to help. We're not looking at this as simply pet sitting. We're looking at it as an opportunity to share the love that Ally and Izzy taught us so much about. **When your dog stays with us, they're not just a guest. They're family.** That means plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, conversations (yes, we absolutely talk to dogs!), hugs, and an unlimited supply of nose boops. And if your pup prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside us, that's perfectly wonderful, too. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care. We've been those pet parents ourselves. We know the worry, the questions, and the desire to know that your baby is safe, comfortable, happy, and genuinely loved while you're away. **We'll treat your dog with the same tenderness, patience, attention, and affection that we gave Ally and Izzy.** We'll respect their routines, their personalities, their needs, and all the little quirks that make them uniquely yours. Perhaps the greatest gift our girls left us was the understanding that love doesn't end when we say goodbye. It simply finds new ways to be shared. And maybe, just maybe, having a few more happy paws, wet noses, and wagging tails visiting our home will help heal two hearts that miss their girls terribly. **Your dog gets a loving home away from home. We get the joy of sharing our love with another furry friend. And everybody gets unlimited boops!** 🐶❤️ We can't wait to meet your best friend! **With love, belly rubs, and a whole lot of puppy kisses,** **Mike & Charity** 🐾 *In loving memory of Ally & Izzy — forever our girls, forever in our hearts.* One of the wonderful things about our current schedules is that we have plenty of time to devote to your furry family member! Between the two of us, at least one of us is typically home throughout the day, so your pup will have lots of companionship, attention, and love. We're not the kind of pet parents who believe a dog should spend the day alone waiting for someone to come home. We enjoy having a four-legged companion nearby, whether we're relaxing, watching TV, working around the house, or heading outside for some fresh air. We'll follow your dog's regular feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Our primary time away together is typically Sunday mornings for church, and we'll always communicate about scheduling in advance. Your dog won't just fit into our routine. We'll happily make them part of our day! Having raised and loved two wonderful fur babies of our own, we understand that trusting someone else with your dog is a BIG deal. We don't take that responsibility lightly! Our home is a place where dogs are treated like family, not simply boarded as guests. We offer a comfortable, loving environment with plenty of attention, companionship, and affection. Since we're currently without pets of our own, your pup won't have to compete with our resident dogs for attention! We respect every dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level. Some dogs want to cuddle right beside you, while others prefer their own quiet space. We're happy to accommodate both! We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding food, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and other special needs. If your dog is crate-trained and needs their crate for comfort or safety, we're happy to accommodate that with advance arrangements. We'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your precious pup is being loved and cared for. Our philosophy is simple: **We care for your dog the way we always wanted someone to care for ours.**
“I had a wonderful experience with Cody as my sitter. From the start, he was responsive and reassuring. During the stay, he sent frequent updates complete with adorable photos, which made a huge difference in calming my nerves about leaving my pet behind. Everything went smoothly, and my Haitta was clearly comfortable and loved. Cody is reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll be rebooking with him for sure on my next getaway!”
“Al & Jean sat my 100 # lab. They sent me pictures and I wasn't sure if she wanted to come home, because she was having so much fun with Piper & Cooper. For the first time I did not feel bad about going away because she was so well taken care of. Great couple.”
“Such a pleasure to deal with her from the very beginning, and I had peace of mind from there on. She continued to contact me throughout the eight days and give me updates and pictures and videos. I would certainly use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for wonderful care for their beloved pet.”
“Yami and her family provided great care for our Westie Finley at their home over the holiday week…very accommodating and helpful…was wonderful to receive the daily updates and photos…Will definitely engage Yami again! 😀”

“Hailey is the best! Sends cute pictures and is easy to communicate with. I could tell Charlie adored her and was very happy in her care. Highly recommend and will be using Hailey again.”
“Renea and her family treated my Nikko like their own pup! I can’t thank them enough! All the pics and videos while we were away made me feel so at ease that he was in great care! See you guys for our next booking! 💙🐾”
“Wonderful experience- friendly, dependable, and very attentive to our dogs’ needs. Great communication throughout the stay and lots of updates. They went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Katrina was great! She took care of my dog like he was her own and was very good about responding to any questions I had and providing updates when I asked. I would have her dog-sit again!”
“Our dogs loved their time with Kim and she definitely treated them as her own. She communicated frequently and always kept me up to date on how they were doing. My grumpy little man who hates walks even seemed to enjoy walking with her. Her home was cleaner than a lot of homes I've done meet-and-greets at. And she was flexible when I had to adjust my pick up time. Thank you so much Kim!”
“It puts me at ease leaving Cayman when I see how happy she is to be there! Even thru the videos and pictures she sends me while I’m away, i can see Cayman is content and enjoying herself. Love that she is included in their every day activity and feels a part of the family. 🐾❤️”

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 Homosassa 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 Homosassa 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 Homosassa.
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 Homosassa. On Rover:
- 93% 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 Homosassa 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.
