“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our two small dogs than what Randal and Karen provided. From start to finish, they treated our pups like family, giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home. We truly appreciated the constant updates and adorable photos—they made it so much easier to be away, knowing our dogs were in such great hands. It was clear they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. We’ll absolutely be booking with Randal and Karen again!!”
“Chloe had a great time, we were sent many photos of her from finding her comfy spot to videos playing & having a good time. She was well cared for & was so very comfortable.”
“If you need a sitter in Cape Coral, Florida you don't have to look any further. Sandra was amazing! She has quite a following but managed to make our little Brindle feel right at home My husband and I don't know how she does it. She's a magician the way she juggles all the dogs.”
“Lori and her family are wonderful. She took great care of our little girl. She was constantly in touch, sending pictures and texts. If given the chance I'm sure our dog would prefer to stay with them, there were great. Lori is flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Great job handling sporting dogs. Also my female is going through some behavioral changes that required some special attention. It was perfectly handled. Felt very comfortable.”
“Erika was phenomenal and is definitely a dog lover - not just a dog sitter!! She kept me updated on Bella’s stay which was lengthy, sent pictures and I trust her totally! I will call Erika going forward for all our travel and am sure Bella loves her new home away from home!”
“Vetra was so good with my dog. She stayed over July 4 and there are a bunch of fireworks which my dog hates and Vetra did her best to comfort Lily. We’ll definitely be using Vetra again.”
“Carla is awesome with Sky and keeps us updated on how things are going!! Sky was in great hands to help her through her anxiety of fireworks and thunderstorms while my husband and I were out of town giving us peace of mind. Thank you Carla, we appreciate you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Alain did a great job with a last minute boarding request on Thanksgiving week. He sent several videos daily of our sweet girl. We really appreciated everything. She came home very happy like she enjoyed her stay. Thank you!”
“There are no words to describe how more than 100% satisfied we were with Tom & Lyndsay, they are very nice & caring people. We went to their house before our booking for a meet & greet with our boy Ralphie, & we knew immediately they were our new dog sitters. Their house is extremely clean & beautiful, & completely set up to accommodate our beloved fur children. They do not believe in using pet cages (as most pet sitters do) & they treat them like their own dogs. We felt so at ease knowing our boy was in the care of loving hands. They sent us messages & pictures showing us our boy relaxing on the sofa as if he were at home, & I'm sure he felt right at home as well. I highly recommend them if you are looking to leave your fur child in the very best hands of loving care. Thank you very much Tom & Lyndsay, you guys are truly the very best of the best!”
“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.”
“Karen is fantastic! My boy loved staying with her - he even played fetch with her after the first day, a rarity for him (and a clear sign he likes someone). Karen was highly communicative, flexible, and just so pleasant to deal with. I felt Pax was in the best of hands. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was great taking care Dexter. Everything great. We received daily pics and videos of Dexter. He also got a grooming while there. Thank you so much for your great service.”
“VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! Our Dog Nova (a lab mix) stayed with Emily and Aaron for a little over a week and they treated her like family. They made sure she had plenty of play time, company and got her medicine. They were very easy to communicate with, quick to respond and sent regular updates. Honestly I hope they are always available when I go out of town. :) Thanks you guys!”
“Olga kept our two boys Gizmo and Maxwell, and she was in touch with me daily on how they were doing and sent pictures. I was so relieved during that busy time because of my daughters wedding out of state. I will definitely use her again! Thank you again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Iona
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.
