“Susan treated our boy Ralphie like family, sent many photos throughout his stay and could not have been a better caretaker while we were away. We will certainly be using Susan for our future boarding needs. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Megan for your sitting and/or boarding needs 🤍 My husband and I had to go out of town for 6 days and our puppy is only 6 months old. I had left Charli with a sitter from Rover one afternoon, but wanted someone closer to our home and more experience. Megan is it! The anxiety we had of leaving her was quickly diminished by the photos and constant communication Megan provided. Charli was happy and socializing with other dogs, as she had not been exposed to many dogs previously as young as she is. Megan's property is well thought out with plenty of room to run and play also with a separate "house: for the dogs that can stay in crates to sleep. Charli had such a good time I may just pay to leave her for a play date one afternoon! Thank you, Megan and family! 🙏🏼”
About: My animals are my everything and I know how hard it is to trust them with someone else. Yes, I am that dog Mom. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From horses to parrots to cats and dogs of every size, I've never known life without them and it is such an privilege to care for them. I've trained service dogs and have experience with everything from toy breeds to gentle giants. I have experience volunteering at horse and dog rescues. My own two dogs are a bonded pair (a service dog and a therapy dog.) I believe our furry companions are family, and that's exactly how yours will be treated while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or simply a loving place to feel comfortable, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I am communicative, respectful, responsible and attentive. Your furry family member will be loved and cared for as one of my own! My schedule is flexible. I am home full-time allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and individualized care. As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a service dog and a therapy dog, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Your pet will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and feel at home. I only accept one boarding guest at a time after a screening. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and training service dogs, I understand the importance of routines, patience, and individualized attention. My home is shared with my two bonded dogs, a German Shepherd and a Labrador. I require a meet-and-greet before boarding to ensure everyone is comfortable together. I follow each pet's feeding, exercise, and care instructions and provide a loving, supervised environment where they're treated like family.
“Jean (Charles) and his wife are absolutely amazing with Luna! She is always so excited to stay with them, and I peace of mind knowing she’s getting the absolute best care possible.”
“Deanna is amazing. I hope she is.available whenever I need to board Ricky. She welcomed him into her home and he was one of the family during his stay. I appreciated the pictures and daily updates while I was away and had a good feeling knowing he was well taken care of and in good hands. I appreciated Deanna's patience with me and my schedule and I know Ricky enjoyed her large yard and the companionship of her dog Nekko.”

“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have worked at dog boarding facilities and various rescues over the years. I am currently a volunteer with a local rescue in Lakeland. I have three small dogs of my own, who are like my kids. I’m home most of the time so your pet will rarely be unsupervised but when I do need to leave the house, I have steps and protocols in place to assure your pet's safety while I am away. I have a 6ft privacy fenced back yard. All lawn care items are locked away in a shed to lessen the risk of your pet getting into anything potentially toxic. I supervise feedings and separate dogs, if necessary. I can also administer oral medications.
“I boarded my two dogs with Skye and I couldn’t recommend her more. She treats your dogs like family, and gives you daily updates and photos. If you want the peace of mind while you’re away that your dogs are happy and I’m good hands, book Skye. Your dogs will thank you.”
“Joanne was the perfect dog sitter for our weekend getaway. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog with her and received many updates and videos during his stay! Joanne knows exactly what she’s doing and I’ll be booking her again if I’m ever in the area.”
“Cherisse was great, she gave me consistent updates with pictures and treated my dog like family. I was nervous leaving my dog behind but Cherisse always made me feel like he was in great hands. When I picked him up she had given him a bath and had a cute bandanna on him. I will definitely be contacting her again when I need a sitter. Thank you again Cherisse you and your husband where great !”
“Matt and Nicole were AMAZING!! My wife and I were nervous since we've never trusted our pup with anyone other than family. They put our mind at ease with plenty of updates and pictures and even a funny video. They were flexible with the pickup time as our flight came in late and overall made this experience as easy as possible for us. It's good knowing we have someone so close if we need someone to watch our pupwhile we're away. Thank you both!”
“Kind Karen was an answer to prayer. Karen was the best dog sitter Star has ever had vacation with. Already booked another stay with Karen for December. Thank you Thank you Karen and Rover”
“Maya is a gem. She’s prompt and genuinely enjoys looking after our furry friend. We’ve been Rover-ing for many years now and she’s at the top of our list. Highly recommended. Thank you, Maya! 🐕”
“This was our First time using a Dog/ Puppy Boarding Service for our Milo. Summer was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable.She communicated with us and sent pic’s. Milo was such a happy Boy when we picked him up. Thank you Summer for not only your service but making our Milo feel like home away from home …”
“Tracy is awesome. She was so sweet with our dog and treated him like family. She made us comfortable leaving Wesley for a visit by getting to know him and his quirks. Her yard is large and fenced for safety and she sent lots of photo updates. Thanks!”
“Larrielle was a great sitter and companion for Machi! She was very responsive to any of my communication and sent me tons of pictures of the little guy while I was away. He came home a very happy puppy and was very excited to see her again when she had to return to return something the next day. I would highly recommend Larrielle and continue to use her to take care of Machi in the future.”
“Sabrina was so good to my Bruno. She made him feel right at home and spoiled him. She communicated with me and sent me frequent picture updates. She also was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thank you so much for taking good care of my sweet boy!”
“Lulu loved her visit with Iris! I definitely recommend using her she loved my baby like it was her own! Iris sent me videos and pictures every day while I was gone which was amazing and she updated me on how Lulu was doing and everything! We will definitely use Iris for future trips ❣️”

This is our second time having Lola and Tuna stay with her, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! 🐶🐱❤️ She is so caring, communicative, and attentive, and you can tell that Lola and Tuna genuinely love being there. Knowing they are happy, comfortable, and being so well taken care of gives us such incredible peace of mind while we’re away. It’s honestly such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust with our fur babies. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely continue booking with her. Highly recommend!
Fantastic Rover sitter! Brittanie sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her! Thank you, Brittanie!
Cyd was absolutely amazing with my older dog, Bella. From the moment Bella arrived, I knew she was in great hands. Cyd created such a fun and loving environment—Bella even had her own playroom with a ball pit and toys! Over Easter, Cyd went above and beyond by taking the dogs on a little field trip and organizing a doggy egg hunt, which was just the sweetest touch. Most importantly, she took incredible care of Bella, giving me total peace of mind. Honestly, Bella loved her so much, I’m not even sure she wanted to come home! I can’t recommend Cyd enough—she is truly wonderful.

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 Kathleen 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 Kathleen.
<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 Kathleen 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.
