“Tina and Bill were fantastic. I was grateful for the chance to meet and greet and see how our pup might do with their dogs. Everything went well and they were thorough with asking and answering questions. We proceeded with the stay and Tina sent frequent photos and updates. She reassured us of Moro's good behavior and entertainment and assuaged any worries we had as nervous parents of a velcro Aussie. They wrote us a lovely card about Moro and her stay and it was so sweet. We really couldn't be happier and I hope they are available when next Moro needs a temporary home during our work trips.”
“We just moved here and needed to find sitter for our year old Aussie. We had only left her with my n laws in the past so we were a little nervous about leaving her and for so long. Somer, Garret and their two children took such wonderful care of Lainey girl! They sent us videos everyday and updates on how she was doing, I knew she was getting lots of love from this family. We’re so thankful to have found them!”
“Jocelyn was fantastic! Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while we were away. She went above and beyond by successfully administering medication to our puppy, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and it was obvious she genuinely cared for our pets. We came home to happy pups, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“1Absolutely fantastic! There's no other way to describe my experience as a first-time Rover app user with a 14 week old puppy that's never stayed a night away from home before.. Lenetta is the best. From the second she laid eyes on my puppy her level of animation and care and genuine affection for my dog was apparent. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to show me how his day was going. She even took him to PetSmart and bought him a special chew toy for teething puppies. Lenetta has my highest recommendation she is amazing.”
“Thank you for having our dog Finn. Julia was very nice and sent pictures and video. We love that our dog had other dogs to play with. She took very good care of our dog and we would highly recommend.”
“Sandra took great care of our two Shih Tzu dogs. She was very responsive and communicated frequently with pictures to let us know the girls were adapting and doing well. She has a wonderful environment with a fenced back yard just right for small dogs. Sandra made sure they were treated like we treat them at home during the day and she also helped make their night time experience as close to home-like as possible. We will definitely ask Sandra to keep them again because of her efforts to provide a safe and familiar experience for our girls😊”
“Bethany took care of my two dogs for 6 days and they had a fun, relaxing stay. They were given lots of love, cuddles, and plays. Thank you so much for caring for them. I will def. Book again. Junior misses the cozy couch and now he is asking for one haha.. thanks for everything :)”
“Jodi totally put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about Chase being taken care of properly. I could tell he was in good hands with all of the pictures she sent daily. She walked him, played with him and loved him while I was on vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loving home for their fur baby! Thank you Jodi for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Heather was great. We really didn't want to put teddy at a boarding place as we really wanted our dog to be around people and other dogs and this experience was amazing. She sent us photos of Teddy during out trip and we got to see him playing with Heather's family and get so much love and attention which just put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Heather and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Nicole enough! Leaving my dog is always a bit stressful, but Nicole completely put my mind at ease. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear that my dog was happy, safe, and loved. They are professional, reliable, and truly gifted with animals. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like a cherished member of the family. Having owned dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust completely to care for your fur babies. To give back to the animal community, I am currently volunteering at a local shelter, which keeps my hands-on care skills sharp and my heart full. Your pets will receive the exact same patience, love, and individual attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled care, and I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m dependable about arrival times and communication, and I’ll always keep you updated while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other safety needs are handled exactly as requested. I take time to help pets feel comfortable with me and never rush an animal that needs a little extra time to warm up. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Sheena is our go to any time we need someone to take care of our pup. Her family has become a second family to our dog, he gets so excited when he realizes we are at their house and this time he even ran right to their door. Sheena always is super communicative, sending pictures, videos, and updates. We always know our pup is well taken care of when he’s with Sheena and her family. Highly recommend.”
“Laura took excellent care of Snowball. Photos showed us that Snowball felt right at home! Laura was very responsive from our first communication through the entire stay, and pickup was easily coordinated. We definitely recommend Laura.”
“We left our 2 pitties with Renee and her husband- I was so nervous to leave my girls while we went on vacation. I was worried they would be scared and sad. But Renee and her family were so amazing and updated me so often with photos and videos. It kept me at ease on vacation knowing they were so well cared for. I could see how clearly my girls were spoiled with so much love and snuggles !! If we ever need a doggy sitter in the future , I will 100% be using them again!”

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 Istachatta 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 Istachatta.
<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 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 , 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.
