“Erika was the best! This was Coppers first doggy daycare and he loved it ! She paid attention to him, gave him walks, and he enjoyed playing with her dog as well. She communicated with me throughout the day, which made me feel at ease since we are not from this area. I highly recommend Erika and I will use her every time we are back here.”
“Meltem is a fanstastic dog sitter and took great care of our teenage poodle. He is full of energy but she handled it very professionally. She is a very friendly person and her home is super clean and nice. I would recommend her anytime and we love to use her services in the future”

About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.
“This was our first time leaving Bella with Nina, gearing up for a two week stay! Nina was attentive, caring, kind and so loving with our 7 month old Bella. She was in contact today with pictures and updates. I really appreciated her phone call with questions! Bella had a wonderful time and we feel very comfortable leaving Bella with Nina while attending our daughter’s upcoming wedding in California. THANK YOU NINA❤️”

About: I’ve raised and trained tons of family members from Pomeranians to English Mastiffs. What sets us apart is when you pull up to drop them off, your friend will be running up to the door out of excitement. You set your rules, and we follow them while we have your family member as a guest. I’ve gotten to a place where I can let my business run itself and my golden needs a friend. It’s too hot outside to bring him out a lot, so I’m bringing his friends to him. We have a fenced yard, separate lanai with a pool. Now, we don’t let our guest pets in the pool unless specifically authorized by you! Luke we said…your rules, our home.

About: Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of professional experience caring for pets. I started dog walking and pet sitting in high school, and after graduating, I became a certified dog & cat groomer, spending the next 10 years working hands-on with animals of all breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats, too! I've cared for reptiles including turtles, frogs, and lizards, so I'm comfortable with pets that have special routines and unique needs. One of the thing I love most about pet care is getting to know each animal's individual personality. I've worked with puppies who are still learning the ropes, senior pets who need extra patience, and pets who need a little additional care and attention. During my grooming career, I've also worked with pets dealing with health conditions such as diabetes, IVDD, ear infections, seizures and other medical needs. I'm comfortable with following medication instructions and caring for pets who require a little extra TLC. Whether you pet needs a midday walk, some company while you're away, medication, feeding, playtime, or simply a little extra love, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe and being well cared for while your away! Pets I'm comfortable caring for *Dogs- puppies, adults & seniors *Cats *Turtles *Frogs *Lizards & other reptiles *Birds *Pets requiring medication * Senior pets & pets with special needs * Multiple pet households I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and with my kids in school, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I'm home most days and available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I'm also available most weekends and can work with your schedule when possible. I have a clean, safe, pet-loving home with a large fenced-in yard. Every pet had different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, stay-at-home mom and animal lover who will treat your dog like part of the family. Because I’m home throughout most of the day, your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. Dogs are rarely left alone, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines. I have a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu and two animal-loving boys, ages 10 and 13, who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them gently and respectfully. All interactions are supervised, and your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I also provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a homeschool family, we’re home often and able to provide lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day in a calm, cozy environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a private backyard for potty breaks and outdoor time, but because the yard is not fenced, all dogs are kept safely on a leash or lead at all times while outside. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time, and I take extra care to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. I’m also happy to follow any specific safety instructions, routines, or preferences you have for your pet. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home.
About: From growing up with dogs in my family to dog sitting throughout high school to working in a kennel caring for puppies as well as a boarding facility with dogs of all ages, my love for working with animals (especially dogs🫶🏻) has grown passionately stronger over the years. I anticipate meeting and hanging out with your fur baby(s)! If you have any questions, please contact me & I will gladly answer them. I’m am very flexible. As of now, I am available every day of the week as well as any time you would need me to care for your loved one. However, other bookings may interfere. I have the silliest, most playful 2 year old Mini Aussiedoodle named Milo who is my pride & joy (and best friend!). I also have the most loyal and sweetest family dog named Lyla who is 14. They get along super well with other dogs. I am open to boarding in my home, house sitting, dog walking as well as drop-ins.
“Excellent sitter. Her and her husband make you feel right at home. Sends plenty of photos and responds quickly. 10/10 experience. Would recommend to everyone and anyone.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I have two adopted dogs, Paris and Rio, and have taken care of pets for at least 5 years,which provide me with enough experience to care for any pet. I am a full-time college student, and I spend my days at school for a few hours and most of the day at home, so your pets will get plenty of attention and care. I love having dogs over at my house. My home has a decent-sized backyard for dogs to run and play in, and it is a friendly neighborhood great for long walks. Dogs can roam freely in my home and are given the same love and privilege as my own dogs. I do have experience in taking care of a dogs that do not get along with other dogs. Since I do have 2 dogs of my own and my house is big enough to keep them separated in my house but also get the love and attention each dog deserves. I do have experience in administering shots such as insulin and liquid IV in pets that require it for health needs. Let me know if your dog needs any particular care or behaviors, and feel welcome to provide specific instructions and tell me a bit about your dog.

“Sonja was absolutely amazing. We were so worried since this was our first time leaving our baby boy Milo, and she made us feel so comfortable.Her family is wonderful and they all chip in to help.

We will and have already booked Sonja again and highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Iona commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
