“I have a very spoiled selective dog that is not the friendliest for the first meeting, but with Alexa she was just completely at home and it was wonderful. I got daily pictures and I could see the happiness on her face. She needed other dogs to play with which is what she had and I could not be happier with my choice in dog sitters.”
“Deandrea was great. She was very accommodating and provided pics and videos of my girl Lola. She took great care my girl she started spotting while we were away scary moments, she put my mind at ease. I will definitely use her service again.”
“McKensie is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. From the moment we met, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She took incredible care of my cats, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. She is dependable, caring, professional, and goes above and beyond in every way. It’s rare to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but McKensie has earned that trust. My pets were happy, well cared for, and loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet children as if they were her own, look no further. McKensie is #1 in my book, and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my furry family!”
“Gabriella was great! She sent pictures and videos throughout of them cuddling on the couch together and playing at the park! Very responsive to messages too. My dog seemed super comfortable with her and her place was clean! Would definitely love to use her again!🧡”
“Jojo and Tuey seemingly had a great stay! No issues with communication or anything of that sort! Will book again if needed in the future! Thank yall so much!!”
“Andrea was great. She was patient and caring for our pup who was struggling with separation anxiety. She sent regular pics and updates during his stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Amazing! Sat our 3 dogs. Sent photos through the stay, dogs came home happy. Accommodated all of our needs + more. Book, you won’t regret it. 🩷”
“I didn’t won’t to share a review but it wouldn’t be fair to Cristina and David. When I leave my two pups there they always come home very tired and ready for a nap. Ava loves the door. If you want your babies taken care of and loved they are your pups best friends. I use them a lot and I feel like I letting out the best kept secret. Five stars every time I leave them.”
“Alysia has taken care of our Frenchy several times and she has been very caring and diligent. Our dog feels comfortable at her home. She is highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 15 + years. I work well with all different pets and their care is at the upmost importance to me. I am currently available all day and evenings on weekends and later evenings during the week as per my current work schedule. We can always work out a routine. If a pet does better in their home setting then there is no sense in pulling them out of that and going into a boarding facility. Pets in my home are free roaming with all day interaction and frequent walks.
About: I always take care of my sisters dogs, she got one mini schnauzer and two golden doodles, they love to run outside my house, I love to play with them. As both a dog and cat owner, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I have a fenced yard in my house, my neighbor is a cat/dog person, they got 2 cats indoors. I will take care of your pet as best I can and with all the love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with them. Before getting my own in adulthood, I would watch my friend’s dogs for fun and bonded with them immediately. Will shower them with so much love, attention and walks / playtime. Brand new puppy that you’ve been dreaming to get? Is it driving you wild? Are you still dying to take it everywhere with you?!?! My name is Grace, and I am here to alleviate all of your problems so you can kick back your heels, finally have that space day you’ve been searching for ever since you got your gorgeous gorgeous puppy. I just wound down a tech company so I am quite flexible. I personally trained my service animal about 90% of the way through (he alerts me of a medical condition) before paying an egregious amount of money to a world-renowned trainer… she was honest enough to refund the money and tell me that Mr. Truffles was perfect and I should get into doggy training. So here I am… hanging up my corporate hat and ready to dive in, head-first, into the world of dog training to help you and your beloved enjoy the world of luxury of traveling together. No bites, no fights! My Grandfather would say. In this case I’d imagine he would say “No barks, no…” (honestly I can’t think of anything that rhymes 😅 Anywho. I am here to help. I am an ex-headhunter turned founder and CEO. Beloved shopper and luxury traveler myself. Here at your beck and call to make sure you and Mr. or Mrs. _________ make it to your plane well-dressed, fully relaxed, and on your best behavior as usual 💕😉 🥂 I have a very friendly 3.5 year old labradoodle who loves to play with other doggies. Also knows how to be chill if the other doggy doesn’t want to play. My home is safe, fully gated, has a pool and backyard. All the toys and treats (whole-foods; cucumbers, apples, chicken, cheese, salmon…or whatever your heart desires or you provide!) And if I come to home sit.. I will treat your home just as my own and make sure it is safe, clean and properly locked up when we go on walks.
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
“Thank you for taking amazing care of Pluto during our trip! He came back happy, clean, and clearly throughly loved. We really appreciated the updates throughout his stay, it gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely book with you again”
“This was the best experience I’ve ever had. I went out of town for a couple of days . And she stay in contact with me the entire time sent pictures and responded back fast. I really appreciate how caring she is when I comes to pets. She is literally the best. Book with her assp !”
“They went above and beyond to make my daughter feel better about leaving our pup. We both enjoyed the frequent pictures and updates of how he was doing. I know they treated Huck like one of their own. My daughter could tell he was so well cared for that she said she wanted to make sure he stayed there every single time we can’t bring him along. 🩷”
“Hannah is so patient and kind. She made sure Ellie was happy and healthy during her stay, went above and beyond in her care, and was very communicative with me. I highly recommend her for any pup, especially if you need special accommodations for medical or behavioral issues.”
About: I might be just as excited to see your dog as they are to see me! I've spent years caring for my own dog, helping with foster dogs, and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I love long walks, playtime, and cuddles, and my gentle, patient energy helps pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I work part-time and attend college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available most days with notice. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of natural light through large windows. I also have a great walking area right behind my house for safe, enjoyable walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and lots of affection to help pets feel comfortable and secure.
“No words to explain how amazing she truly was as a dog sitter! My boy Marshmallow had amazing time playing with her doggie! He was worn out and the next day was ready to go back! She kept me updated throughout the day of his stay! I highly recommend and will use her again!”

We were very happy with our booking. Larickya let me come to her home and see where they would be staying while they were there, she provided daily updates, pictures and always answered quickly when I sent a message checking on them. She kept them seperate from other dogs in the home and I was very impressed with how well it went.
Hannah and Zac were so kind, adaptable and accommodating to my dog, Dax. He didn’t want to leave their place — Dare I say, he became best pals with their dog, Rosie!😄 I received multiple photos during the day and that kind of attentiveness gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend them! Thank you!!
Fantastic! Victoria was so wonderful to work with and treated our Juniper like her own. Our rental did not allow pets so we were able to drop our dog off for overnights and she fed her for us each night and morning, while we got to take her with us for the fun day stuff! 100% would recommend Victoria!
Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!

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 .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
