“My 7 month old Maltipoo loved her stay with Samatha. She actually found a way that she’ll actually eat dog food. She actually also groomed her. Got pictures during the week. If I need her again, I will definitely call her again. She didn’t even sleep in her bed. She slept with her 8 year old daughter. Willow loves them.”
“Absolute expert care taken with our very clingy doggie. Karen sent us several updates daily of him playing, walking, and she slept with him under the covers with her at night. Not in a kennel or in the garage. He stayed beside her and her great hubby 24/7. We love them and will always be our first choice if we just cant take him with.”
“It was our first time using Natasha and Gaspare to board our miniature Daschund and it was a wonderful experience. They kept me updated every evening with news of Lady and with pictures which was great. They even bathed her for me before picking her up. I feel comfortable in recommending them and plan to use them again going forward.”
“First time leaving Skye with Sandra. She updated us throughout the stay with pictures. Skye came back happy. She had so much fun with Sandra and the other dogs! We will definitely be using Sandra again! Thanks so much!”
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“Lori is so wonderful. She sends pictures of my fur baby throughout the entire stay. Her communication is always great. I feel very safe when my baby is with her. I will definitely continue to allow Lori to take care of Harley.”
“Amazing! I think Smokey didn't want to come home with me, LOL. Vetra is such a blessing for our disabled cat who hasn't been boarded before. During the meet & greet, Smokey was comfortable with Vetra & her place right away. I knew that the medical background of Vetra would come in handy: the compassion, expertise in handling medication, caring personality, pleasant personality, excellent communication skills. She's an asset to Rover. Will definitely work with her again & recommend to friends.”
“Marcia was so great with Sanji a very exuberant rescue who struggles with recall and door etiquette but has manners with commands especially when treat motivated. She communicated well during his stay with her providing lots of pictures of him during the day and assured me that Sanji was "fully integrated" and doing well. He got plenty of exercise and attention when I finally got him home he's was happy and relaxed. She laundered his blanket and washed all his food containers and bowls which I truly appreciated. Thank you Marcia for taking such good care of my big boy.”
“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”
“If you want your furry babies to be loved when you "have to" go on vacation... this is who you need to contact. Absolutely, the best. We had a quick meet and greet before our scheduled date and they were so accommodating. Both Callie and Maverick were so happy to be in their company. Already planning another vacation so our doggies can go to Laura and Evan's house.”
“Tara did such a great job taking care of my dog, Brixie! She was very caring and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt comfortable knowing Brixie was in good hands. I would definitely trust Tara to watch her again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“Emma kept Belle for 6 nights. She picked her up and dropped her off on time. She sent us photos daily. Our dog came home without any digestive issues. She even protected her during storms. ⛈️”
“My two dogs love staying with Thomas and Lyndsay.they have stayed with them on two separate occasions and They treat them like their own and are very accommodating. We will definitely use them again in the future! Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs.”
“Would definitely recommend Jerry, we have a 14 years old blind miniature Aussie and she had never stayed anywhere other than family. She did very well with Jerry and his wife, we got updates and pics. We will certainly choose them again.”
“Cynthia and her family did an amazing job watching AK during our long weekend trip. Cynthia sent daily updates, videos, and photos during AK's stay in their home. Cynthia took the time to ask all important questions to ensure AK was well cared for and adjusted to her know in a comfortable manner. Cynthia was kind to adjust the stay and allow AK to stay another night due to delay in travel plans. When arriving home after picking up AK Cynthia included a sweet picture of AK during his stay in her home. We will definitely be using Cynthia and her family's services again.”
“This was Rocky's longest stay with Krista - 7 days. WE received pictures 2x a day. Our Rocky was happy - went on walks, got lots of snuggles and was well cared for! We are so happy that we found Krista. We will definitely continue to use her in the future. Worth mentioning ...we had our Granddaughters wedding in Ohio. Kristra was not feeling well and still took care of Rocky. Rather than cancel she still took care of Rocky for us She's the BEST!!”

Tara did such a great job taking care of my dog, Brixie! She was very caring and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt comfortable knowing Brixie was in good hands. I would definitely trust Tara to watch her again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Bella was amazing with Summer. She kept me updated and sent photos everyday. She made me comfortable from the moment stepping into her home. Summer has been wiped out since bringing her home and they kept her active and entertained throughout her stay. Highly recommend using her!!
Meltam did a wonderful job of taking care of our little Penelope. She was so flexible and sent us pictures and videos every day. Penelope really enjoyed herself.she was content and happy. We were so nervous to leave our new puppy, but Meltam eased all of our fears. We will definitely use her again if we are in the area.
Brooklyn cared for my 2 Shih Tzus (5 yo and 10 yo) for 4 days/3 nights and treated them like her own! She is such a kind and loving young woman and my little dogs sensed right away that they were somewhere safe and full of love for them! She also communicated the entire time and sent pics. I highly recommend Brooklyn for your dog-sitting 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 Iona 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 Iona.
<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 Iona 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.
