“Was a bit last minute and they were still able to take care of my puppy, they had him tired with plenty of exercise and playing! They also sent lots of videos and pics daily to keep you in the loop.”
“If you have doubts about boarding your pet, I would like to reassure you that you have nothing to worry about if you let Mr. King take care of your pet. He is extremely professional, kind and attentive. My dog had the best of times with him during my vacation, I will surely keep using his service in the future.”
“Ashley was great! this was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone else and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. she send me updates and pictures all the time.”
“Jeff was a great guy and did a wonderful job of taking care of our mini poodle while we were out xmas week. My dog loved the company of his dachshunds as well! Excellent communication on Jeff's part! We will definitely be going to him again in the future! ”
“Donna really had her hands full with our cat Misty. We had never left Misty with a stranger in a strange house before. She usually stays home with a sitter or goes to our daughters. However, this time we were on a 2.5 month stay in Florida which included a cruise. Donna was willing to watch our cat and dog for the 10 days. Tazz loved Donna's two dogs and probably didn't realize we were gone. However, Misty apparently was traumatized by being left in a strange place. Donna kept her in a small confined space to help relieve the stress but Misty refused to eat. To make a long story short, after three days we mutually agreed a visit to her vet was necessary. With a mild temperature, and loss of appetite the vet gave her medication to stimulate Misty's appetite and an antibiotic. Donna covered the vet visit personally and we reimbursed her upon our return. Needless to say, Misty gave Donna a few gray hairs. She ended up having to force feed her with a syringe at least once or twice. After the trip to the vet things immediately started to improve. When we returned from the cruise Misty was her normal self thanks to Donna's patient, tender, loving care. I recommend Donna for cat or dog care. She is very attentive and takes her responsibility seriously. You couldn't find a better sitter...”

“We had a great experience with Silky! It was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and she took such great care of him. We received photos and updates daily and knew he was well taken care of. We'll definitely be booking with Silky again!”
“We're very pleased with the care Taz gets when he is with Laura, Luis, and their kids. We get photos and updates frequently which means a lot to us. Wonderful care.”

“Millie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took on my dog Brooklyn last minute for a pretty lengthy stay. She was accommodating in every way and kept me posted every day with pictures and updates. I Enjoyed my vacation that much more knowing Brooklyn was in such good hands. I will be using Millie for future stays and I’m so happy rover connected us! Brooklyn came home happy and seemed to have loved every minute with Millie.”

I really appreciate their care for him and will definitely book Zuko with her again in the future! 🙌”

We had a wonderful experience with Sara. I liked that Sara asked questions beforehand to ensure that we were a good fit for each other. I rarely leave my dawghter, but felt at ease leaving my fur girl with Sara. I got detailed reports and photos during her stay. Thank you for loving on my fur baby!
I’m so grateful to have found Penelope to watch Milo! As a first-time Rover user, I was a little hesitant, but she happily accommodated my request for a meet and greet before booking. Meeting her and seeing where Milo would be staying immediately put me at ease. Throughout the weekend, she sent photos and videos of Milo playing with the other dogs, which was such a thoughtful touch. He clearly had a wonderful time, and I would book with her again without a second thought. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Penelope!
Another wonderful stay with Amanda! 🐾❤️ Joy was happy to be back, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in such loving hands while we’re away. Amanda is always attentive, keeps us updated with pictures, and makes sure Joy gets plenty of love and cuddles. 🥰 We’re so happy to have found someone we can trust with our little girl. Thank you again, Amanda! 💕
The best sitter ever!!! This is the second time watching my dog with so much love and care. Very professional, definitely understanding, and my dog loves them!! The communication is on point, always sending pictures and updates, which is so nice. I appreciate the extended stays they allowed for my dog when I was having trouble with traveling and I appreciate that they didn’t make me feel like a burden. HANDS DOWN THE BEST 10/10 I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. ☺️
Diana and her family took care of our Chloe extremely well. She will send me pictures of chloe and let me know how she was doing every day. Every time I text her she will answer fast. We have being using her for all our trips for almost a year now and will continue to use her. Thank you.
We were looking for a dog sitter last minute after our regular sitter cancelled. King booked my two dogs the same day and saved our vacation! He allowed us to see his house/yard before committing, and was extremely flexible with us! He has the perfect setup for pet sitting and is very professional and caring for the animals. He sent regular updates with photos and I could tell our dogs were very well cared for. They loved the large yard and getting lots of attention from King. I would highly recommend King and would not hesitate to book again!!!
Wesley and his wife took such great care of Billie and Hope! I felt completely at ease knowing they were getting them undivided attention, lots of love, and even extra treats like Starbucks pup cups. I came home to two very happy doggies. I would absolutely trust Wesley with them again!
I cannot recommend Amy highly enough, she recently took care of my dog for 5 nights, it was the first time I had left him with a sitter and I was understandably nervous but Amy was wonderful with him and he had a great time with her. Amy sent pictures and videos every day, and was immediately responsive to texts and any questions I had. I would not hesitate to use Amy again, no question about it!
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Mozzie! This was the first time we had ever left him, and he was experiencing quite a bit of separation anxiety. Eugenia and Diego were incredibly patient, understanding, and caring throughout his stay. They kept us updated and treated Mozzie with love and attention. We are so grateful for the care they gave him. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience with Arianna! After trying a couple of daycares, I decided to try boarding, and I’m very happy I did. Leo has quite a few specific instructions 😊, and Arianna followed all of them carefully. She also kept me updated with photos, which gave me peace of mind. Leo came home happy and relaxed. I definitely recommend Arianna!
Priscilla was so great with my 2 babies! I needed a last minute sitter and she was able to take my babies and care for them while I was gone! One of my babies has to take a medication 2x a day and she did great with assuring he received this. I would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again in the future! Thank you Priscilla!

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 Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest.
<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 Lake Forest 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.
