“Sebastian and his wife did a great job at caring for Zimba. They made him play and even cooked home made grain free treats for him! I was updated several times through the day and they also sent me photos of my pooch sleeping, playing etc. I could not help it but rebook more stays with them. I have a great piece of mind knowing that I can tend to my work schedule when it gets crazy, and zimba has two new friends to hang out and spend the day with. I am very thankful I found them!”
“My pup was very happy when i picked him up and seemed to have enjoyed his stay with Amy. She kept me updated, and gave me a rundown afterwards. The experience exceeded my expectations.”
“Andrea was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and it exceeded our expectations! Our dog is very anxious, nervous l, and particular about who he stays with, so we were hesitant to leave him with someone he wasn’t familiar with. Andrea offered to meet him before which was great! When we left him with Andrea for a few days, he warmed up to her quickly! She sent us pictures throughout his stay and kept us informed. We will definitely be leaving our dog with Andrea again. She was wonderful!”
“Moduño had a fabulous time with Diana and her adorable, very chill doggy Spots, his new love 😉 ❤️, they played all day. Great care and responsiveness from Diana! Totally recommended! Moduño can’t wait for our next stay, thank you!!”
“María Gabriela went above and beyond with my pup Lucas! She even picked up Lucas from campus after me and my family took our grad pics. Lucas looked so relaxed and at ease with Maria Gabriela. I definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies ?”
About: All my life I have lived with dogs, from a very young age my parents gave me a wonderful gift and it was a Creole puppy as they call it in my country, I loved it with all my heart, it died of old age. and from there I felt the need to give time, love to animals. I have 12 years of experience. By profession I am a nurse and Ergonoma Currently I dedicate myself full time to the care of pets, I am available 24 hours a day, weekends and nights, I can also take care of them without any problem. I live in an apartment located on the first floor, it has a large space for your furry, we have green areas and a park for your pet.
“Chloe is so sweet and caring! Hugo really enjoyed a chill day with her. Chloe really helped us out in a pinch because I teach and my son got called for jury duty. We’re so grateful he enjoyed his stay with Chloe!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We've plenty of time to play with your pups! It is important for us to know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and is friendly with kids. We would also want to know if your pet has a tendency to dig or chew on furniture or shoes so we can make the necessary accomodations. Also it’s important to know if your pet has any preexisting medical conditions and/or requires any medication or supplements to be administered We have a fenced in front and backyard. However, dogs are allowed both inside and outside our home. We also believe in taking dogs on multiple walks a day to give them the exercise they need.
“Sarah and Embryl minimized our anxiety and made us felt at ease with our first experience leaving our sibling pupply labradoodles in a doggy day care. Appreciated the thorough and detailed updates and photos throughout the day. We are definitely leaving our puppies with Sarah’s care.”
“Jimena was so gentle and caring of our Hugo. He quickly warmed up to her, and Hugo enjoyed the walks she took him on! I really appreciated that she was available last minute and that she is so close to us! We also loved getting the videos to see how he was doing and it was just perfect 👌”
“I had an excellent experience leaving Mila with Gillian. She was very attentive and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. She also took the time to ask about Mila’s preferences and any special instructions, showing how much she truly cares. Gillian is both professional and kind, and I would absolutely trust her again for future care. Highly recommended!”
About: I've been taking care of all breeds and sizes of dogs for the past 4 years, I've even fostered pitbulls, akita, and a great dane I have mostly open availability, any day and time your pet needs I'll be there. I want to make working with animals my only job :) I live in a large apartment but have plenty of fenced in community space to walk and play with dogs, there's also a few dog parks near me too. I make sure when sitting in a client's home that I don't disturb the space and that the pet is comfortable with my presence.
“As a dog mom, we get very nervous about leaving our doggy babies. Today, I was fortunate to meet Xavier and his mom and they were a joy. Milo was a little timid at first but once he saw Xavier’s mom he was mushy. They kept me updated with pictures and communication was great. I’m very happy with the service we received and comfortable with letting Milo stay with them again.”
“Our 18 month old dog had never stayed with anyone other than my husband and me and had tremendous separation anxiety. Ekaterina communicated with us prior to the first visit in order to be prepared for his needs. She made every effort to comfort our dog on his first stay, keeping him by her side most of the time. She also sent updates and photos. The 2d and 3d visits went very well. She is very caring and gentle and has an excellent manner with animals. We can't wait to have our dog stay with her again-he feels the same way!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ives Estates
This was Leo's first time with Amy, and she made us both feel so welcome. She sent photos and updates throughout the day, and at pick-up she gave me a detailed report about how Leo was doing, what he did during the day, and how he was feeling. It was very reassuring and showed how much she genuinely cared about him. Leo is a senior dog, and Amy was very patient and attentive to his needs, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciated her warmth and attention, and I would be happy to have Leo stay with her again.
Marielys is a star sitter! I asked her to mind Brodi for a few hours while I went to see a match at the Miami stadium, and she took very good care of her. She shared photos which made me feel at ease ❤️ I especially appreciated the extra gesture of accommodating my many requests, including a later pick up when i was stuck in traffic. She and Jefa (her pittie) are both super sweet 😌 Thank you again!
Paola was great with Betty and Charlie. This is the first time they ever went to doggy daycare. The first day Betty was a little nervous but Charlie looked after her. By the third day both Betty and Charlie were so excited to see Paola when she came to pick them up. I have another day booked for them with Paola. I highly recommend Paola!!
Andy and his Dad Julio were phenomenal. They gave me updates and my dog got to play with other dogs! They even let him on the couch since he’s hypoallergenic and doesn't shed. They sent pictures and updates. And most importantly tried to keep him as cool as possible in the hot Miami heat. That goes a long way. Definitely recommend. I will be booking again.
Jules had a wonderful time. We were in town and neededa sitter on short notice. Monique accommodated us and we were much appreciative and she sent updates throughout his stay. This was extremely comforting for us since this was our first time using Rover or a sitter for Jules. Will definitely call again if the need arises.
I was in such a pinch as Leo isn’t allowed on lot of tourist stuff around Miami and also on the hop on hop off bus and I was hoping that my family from out of country don’t miss out on what Miami had to offer . Karen came as a saviour where I could leave Leo behind and I was surprised . The way she took care of Leo kept us updated of his every schedule and even Leo loved staying there. I am going to use her for boarding Leo whenever I am in town . Highly recommended.

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 Ives Estates 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
