“The most comfortable I’ve been in leaving my fur baby with anyone! This whole household is dog friendly and loving. Teddy is cared for and socialized with other dogs, as well as people. The yard is large and set up for exercise and fun for dogs. Thank you to Susan and her family for giving my dog a great time!!”

“Megan is wonderful! Definitely we will see her again soon! She gave me updates and pictures of my baby’s! We find the right place for when we go on vacation our dogs have vacations too! Thanks Megan!”

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.
“I feel really comfortable leaving my dog Mia with Angelica. She's so easy to work with. You can tell she's really loves taking care of your pets. Mia has fallen in love with Angelica. Will definitely use Angelica again.”

“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”

“Deanna is fantastic! She is very kind and really cares about the dogs she sits. I really liked that she wanted to meet our dog Charlie before her stay to ensure she is a good fit. Charlie had the best time with Deanna and her pups. Deanna sent lots of pictures and updates and even helped work on Charlie’s puppy school homework. We cannot thank Deanna enough, Charlie misses you!”

“BOOK NOW!! April and her Husband are wonderful sitters. They took amazing care of our furbaby. She sent morning and night updates and photos. She let us know how she was acting and any changes they saw in her. They reported how she ate and even how she slept. This family is a home away from home for any loving furbaby. HIGHLY recommend”

“Anyone needing dog care/ dog sitting services, I definitely would recommend Matt and Nicole. They are excellent. They are caring people with dogs and very caring people. I strongly recommend Matt and Nicole. My dog Addy who has separation anxiety was handled in a very specialized way . Their whole family was with my dog. And he came back better cause he actually was more chilled out and now is use to being with a dog sitter in a good experience. The pictures were great as well.”

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.
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.
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.
