âJaritza is amazing! Her communication and flexibility is outstanding. She kept us updated with daily pictures of our baby having a blast. I highly recommend and will use her services again đâ

âJoann was WONDERFUL with Schatzi. She is a dachshund and had recently overcome IVDD. Joann made sure she didn't jump on or off anything or use stairs, carrying her outside for breaks and play. She sent pictures and kept me informed about her everyday. I would highly recommend her to watch your pup as well! Thank you Joann for taking such GREAT care of our Schatzi! Lizâ

âCynthia and her family (including her furry babies) always makes my Louie feel like family. SHE IS THE GREATEST BABYSITTER!!!! He always smells good when I pick him up đ.â

âSandy & Santosh were amazing. We have two rescues, one dog that is senior special needs and needs daily medications/oral injections and another that is scared of everyone and everything so we usually vet out our sitters pretty well. My scared dog basically became Sandyâs shadow (which is rare) and they kept us updated on health and happiness every day with messages and photos. Super accommodating and kind, thank you so much Sandy & Santosh! We will see you soonâ

âMindi and Scott took really good care of Argus. They were able to accommodate my last minute request despite of a busy weekend. They gave me continuous updates on how Argus is doing and am pretty sure Argus had a good time with them too.â

âMaria did great with my teacup yorkie. Everyday she sent me update on tiny while we were out. She also sent pictures. My Tiny loved her and felt very comfortable. I think she is highly recommended and will definetly use her services againâ

âSarah was very kind and accommodating to my dog, Odin. Odin is very high energy, but Sarah handled him very well. She was able to effectively manage him and a few other dogs at the same time with no problems. Odin was happy to come home, but he seemed to have enjoyed his time with Sarah.â

âJocelyn and her family were awesome! They were so friendly and took great care of Winnie. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how Winnie was doing throughout the stay. We felt at ease knowing Winnie was in such a loving home while we were away! Thank you Jocelyn and family, we will see you again!â

âSamantha took great care of my 2-year-old chocolate Lab, Milo, while we were away. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. She kept us updated, and it was obvious Milo was happy and well cared for. I would definitely trust Samantha to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! Thank you, Again Julieâ

âI felt very confident leaving our Maggie with Jessica. She communicated quickly with me & provided updates on how Maggie was doing. Someone is home with her most of the day, so she wasnât alone for very long. I also liked that she also has experience with older dogs. I will definitely use Jessica again for watching Maggie.â


âMy girl Nana loved her quality time with Jaedyn. She took great care of my high energy cuddle bug of a dog and Iâll be booking with her again in the future â¤ď¸â

âMy furry loves Nola and Rick and so do I. They take wonderful care of my doggie. She comes home happy and hearty. Nola is very accommodating as I had a delay in my return and she was more than happy to keep my pup for an extra day.â

âRaymond and Jessica were fabulous to our big girls~ So many amazing updates! It was a huge peace of mind knowing they were so well taken care of! Don't even stress or worry, just relax on your vacation knowing your babies are being very well taken care of! plenty of room to run around and be a part of the pack! THANK YOU for taking such good care of our girls!â

âVery nice and attentive. My 7 month old Leo was great around her 5 year old and other friendly pets. Iâd highly recommend and would love to have him come over again!â

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I'm comfortable caring for pets of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I have two dogs of my own and understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, baths, and extra cuddles. For everyone's safety and comfort, I do require dogs to be crate-trained and crated whenever I need to leave the house. My own dogs are crate-trained, and I kindly ask that any visiting pups be comfortable in a crate as well. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I'll treat them like family and make sure they receive all the love and care they deserve! I'm a stay-at-home dog mom, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies! My days already revolve around caring for my own dogs, including daily walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's individual routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care throughout their stay. I have a fully fenced backyard and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood that's perfect for pets. My husband and I have two friendly, loving poodles who enjoy meeting other dogs. We take our own pups on daily two-mile walks and prioritize exercise, enrichment, and affection. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with plenty of supervision, outdoor time, and cuddles. For everyone's safety, dogs must be comfortable with other dogs and crate-trained for times when I need to leave the house.

âWhat an amazing experience we had with Kat!! This was the first time for our golden doodle on boarding for 5 days. We received pictures and videos from the minute we dropped her off. Kat and Doug were wonderful with Mika!! They are very professional and responsive to my pup needs and her personality. Not to mention their doodle Alfred... best host ever!!! Definitely, exceeded our expectations!!â

âElaine took very good care of Bandit. She sent photos of him out in her yard, and sleeping in a chair, making himself at home. I will definitely have her baby-sit for us again!â

âOur dog had a wonderful vacation with Sandra!! We visited before his stay and felt very comfortable leaving him. She is very knowledgeable and kind. We got updates and photos while away. Watching him interact with her when we picked him up really confirmed what a happy stay he had there.â

About: I stand out because I truly understand dogs of all ages and personalities. Iâve raised my own Boxer and German Shepherd, so Iâm experienced with both energetic and strong breeds. Iâm patient and caring, with experience in basic puppy training, like leash manners and routines, and I give extra attention and comfort to senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I treat every dog like my own with love, structure, and plenty of playtime. đśđ Animals are a constant part of my life, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I make time every day to feed, walk, and play with my two dogs, and I enjoy checking in on friendsâ pets when theyâre away. Iâm very organized and great at managing schedules, so itâs easy for me to include regular walks, playtime, and clean-up into my week. Caring for pets keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely happy it never feels like work to me. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure whether itâs in my home or my clientâs. I carefully follow each petâs routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for. I always keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, making sure theyâre safe and never left unattended. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, relaxed, and right at home while their owners are away. đž

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lacoochee can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs needs, this 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 dogâs 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 Lacoochee home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Lacoochee.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lacoochee. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lacoochee sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
