“Anas & Tate took great care of my dog. Izzy is a bigger fairly high energy Airedale. Anas & Tate had no problems handling his needs. Their setup is beautiful. I quite big fenced yard allowed for plenty of exercise while being totally secure. They kept me updated with cute pictures and videos during Izzy’s stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to rely on them again as the need arises.”

“Laquitta & James took such good care of Sassy. I received daily up dates and pictures. The meet and greet was so helpful for when I took her to their home for her stay she was so relaxed because she already knew their home and fur babies. I can't thank them enough for taking care of my Sassy. I highly recommend and will use them again.”

“I felt really comfortable leaving my 75 pound fur baby with Amy. She seems to be a true animal lover and is confident in how to care for them. Amy's response time to messages is very quick and the daily photos of my dog enjoying her time were much appreciated. I know my dog was comfortable at Amy's because she was in no hurry to leave when I came to pick her up! I can whole heartedly recommend Amy as a pet sitter and I will definitely use her services again.”

“Kim was an absolutely lifesaver for our last minute boarding needs! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with our two pups. It was a breeze dropping them off with her, and we felt that our dogs, and we, were in very capable hands. Our dogs are a little skittish being placed in a situation with new dogs suddenly, but Kim was very contentious and careful with their needs and was able to give them a safe and private place to stay. She can handle the inevitable bumps and hiccups of caring for animals who are acclimating to a unfamiliar place, and our dogs got home safe and sound under Kim's amazing care! We will definitely be seeking her services in the future!”

“Mavi had the best time ever on Josephine's farm! She is clearly experienced when it comes to dogs and animals in general, as she took great care of our nervous Aussie. She sent regular updates and photos, which looked like she was having the time of her life. Will definitely board her with Josephine and her family again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for my pets, providing them with dedicated attention and love throughout their lives. My commitment to their happiness and health reflects my deep passion for animals and my understanding of their individual needs. We are College students. Kenya studies in the morning and works in the afternoon, and Emanuel only studies in the morning and has the whole day off; weekends are free for us. We don't go out much to events like parties; we stay at home a lot. Our place is healthy, good, and small. We live in a quiet area, and no matter what service you choose, we will always provide the same security and peace to all the pets that leave us in charge. In our house, we do not consume any alcohol or illegal substances by our own decision; we do not have noisy neighbors or people who do things like that.

“Lauren welcomed Cooper into her home as though he was her own. He stayed two full weeks with Lauren and her family and she updated us daily with photos and an activity list. Cooper was thrilled to be cared for so lovingly as illustrated by the fact that he wasn’t diving into our vehicle when we arrived. Also, he’s crashing this minute, so we know he was busy having fun. Anyone would be fortunate to have Lauren care for their pet.”

“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. I’ve taken care of anywhere from small dogs for large dogs and even fish. I am currently a 4th year college student so I will have plenty of time on the weekdays and weekends. My schedule is very flexible all days of the week. I live at a safe apartment complex and I have no pets of my own so your pet will be safe and sound. I have a couple dog toys that I am more than happy to share.

“I used Cyndi to watch my Frenchie tank this past weekend. I was nervous to let someone I didn't know watch my baby but after our first meeting I felt completely comfortable with her and her family. Tank had a wonderful time! Cyndi sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend and I felt totally comfortable that he was in good hands. I will definitely hire Cyndy again for tank. I highly recommend.”

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 Island Grove 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 Island Grove.

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.

You and your Island Grove 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.
