“Joann was WONDERFUL with Schatzi. She is a dachshund and had recently overcome IVDD. Joann made sure she didn't jump on or off anything or use stairs, carrying her outside for breaks and play. She sent pictures and kept me informed about her everyday. I would highly recommend her to watch your pup as well! Thank you Joann for taking such GREAT care of our Schatzi! Liz”
“Linda was phenomenal. She lovingly cared for our dog and it showed. Without any hesitation I would recommend her to care for someone's pet as you can see she is a caring person and loves animals. Linda was in daily contact with me and sent lots of photos which made me smile everyday seeing how well my pup was cared for. Thank you Linda, your the best ❤️”
“Jocelyn and her family were awesome! They were so friendly and took great care of Winnie. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how Winnie was doing throughout the stay. We felt at ease knowing Winnie was in such a loving home while we were away! Thank you Jocelyn and family, we will see you again!”
“Great 1st experience using Rover. My dog Athena was very well taken care of and I was sent pictures and videos of her to keep my mind at ease. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Cynthia and her family (including her furry babies) always makes my Louie feel like family. SHE IS THE GREATEST BABYSITTER!!!! He always smells good when I pick him up 😊.”
“Jennifer did a great job with our pup, Lucca. I felt totally comfortable knowing Lucca was in a good place. There is lots of room to roam at Jennifer's, yet she keeps a close eye on the animals. Lucca had a nice big kennel crate to sleep in. We received daily updates and pictures of Lucca while we were gone. Lucca even wished me a Happy Mother's Day, lol. I especially liked that Jennifer was flexible with her schedule if we needed and extra few hours or a day. Her response time is excellent. There was no "waiting to hear back" so I was able to proceed with planning our trip in a timely manner. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone needing care for their pet(s). I will definitely return should the occasion arise. Thanks, Jennifer!”
“Heather was fantastic. She housed our huge German Shepard while we were away for a week. She agreed to do a meet n greet before hand and it went great. We spent about 45 mins together with my big fur baby, making sure they were a good fit and thankfully they were. Heather sent me photos everyday and honestly, most of them looked professional. 😁 We intend on printing a few to frame. We had all kinds of delays and flight cancelations and Heather was way past understanding as well. She had no problem keeping Delta an extra day. She made that portion of the stressful trip, NOT stressful for us. I would absolutely recommend Heather, and I would definitely use her again in the future! ❤️”
About: I’m a lifetime dog caregiver, raised with Goldens and German Shepherds. I’m experienced in sitting, overnights, and puppy training, and I’m a stay-at-home mom with two German Shepherds and land to play. Me and my husband, both currently work at home full-time so our routine we are normally home all the time they would fit into our routine just fine I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I also have two dogs in my own that would be great friends and they would get on great.
About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I appreciate what they do for me. I have owned dogs of a variety of sizes Big (Labradors - Sassie and Flounder), Cocker Spaniel (Cleo), Basset Hound (Ginger), Terrier (Kush), and Pomeranian (Foxy). I learned by caring for these dogs that the most important thing is to identify each dog's individual needs by paying attention to how they are feeling and how they interact with me and the other dogs. I personalize my care for each dog. I am experienced with: - puppies as well as elder dogs and all ages in between. - administering medications as needed. - personalized feeding schedules. - personalized walking schedules and outdoors time. - crate trained or not. I am currently a stay at home wife who has plenty of time to take care of dogs up to 40 lbs. My home is pet friendly, with doorway gates to make sure that each dog has a safe place to eat and enjoy their stay at my home. My schedule is flexible and can be changed and updated on an as needed basis, I have a back yard and a safe sidewalk that is easily accessible outside my front door. My back yard has grass and a screened in porch for those days when it is comfortable for dogs to be outside.
“I am very happy with the care Olga provided for my dog; she was kind, affectionate, and attentive from start to finish, and Rocco looked very happy and comfortable with her. Knowing that he was in good hands gave me peace of mind. I would undoubtedly entrust Rocco to her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive and reliable pet sitter!”
“I will admit, I was nervous being that this was my first time ever using this service. Melanie, however, was an amazing care giver. She was very accommodating when I booked a day in advance for an emergency and sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was also very easy to get in contact with. My dog came back very happy and as a dog mom I am very satisfied with her care. Romeo will definitely be returning to Melanie. 🙂”
“My dog absolutely loved staying with Lauren! She provided daily updates and photos, ensuring I felt connected while I was away, and my Kiva came home happy and well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Lauren and will be booking with her in the near future .”
“Denny and her husband are so incredibly kind. We could not have been more grateful to have them take care of our two fur babies. We had some last minute changes to our holiday plans and were in need for sitter. Denny and her husband were available - we even hopped on a video call to meet each other beforehand. The one thing I loved the most is that they keep the dog families separated from each other. One of our fur babies has a lot of anxiety with other dogs and this really helped ease our concerns. Scooter and Taz had the family room to themselves. They went on daily walks and we received multiple pictures several times a day to keep us updated. They were also flexible with drop off and pick up. Although we were sad we couldn’t spend Christmas with our fur babies, we were happy they were in good hands! We 100% recommend Denny and her husband and would use them again in a heartbeat!”
“They were fantastic and took good care of my boys which many people shy away from just because they are so big. Very happy with the care and compassion that this family showed to my big bears. They even got a bath and that's not an easy task for any Bernese not that they don't like baths they're just big and fluffy and their fur is like a sponge. Thank you!”
“Nicolas and his girlfriend were amazing. Always sending pictures and spoiling Benson, just as he was at home. I did not have to worry about him the entire time. I will definitely be rebooking soon.”

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.
97% of sitters in Istachatta 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 Istachatta 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 Istachatta.
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 Istachatta. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Istachatta 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.
