“Dzeni and Kathy are PHENOMENAL!!! We received daily updates and photos of our little girls. It was so comforting to know they were loved while we were away. Providing a highly rated review is a double-edged sword. When others learn how great they are, we run the risk of them being completely booked. Oh well…that doesn’t change my sentiments above. If you are looking for someone who will love your baby as much as you do and want piece of mind while you’re away, we HIGHLY recommend Dzeni and Kathy!!!”

“Seaura was absolutely the best dog sitter we could’ve asked for. We were incredibly nervous dropping our baby boy off to go over seas but we did a meet and greet and her and her family were the sweetest people. Her son absolutely loved Bowser and I knew bowser would enjoy playing with him. I lost my passport so got stuck overseas an additional day and then our flight was canceled so we were stuck for a second additional day. She was so understanding and assured me that I shouldn’t worry about Bowser and that they would be happy to help out. This took so much stress off our shoulders as she was sending pictures and videos of Bowser having tons of fun playing. He truly looked so happy. Thank you so much for being a life saver!!!”

“Gloria and her family were absolutely amazing. My wife and I received notice last minute that we’d be attending a wedding out of state, and Gloria agreed to watch my dogs for a weekend with less than a full day’s notice. She also gave us some very useful tips to try with our dogs. Family was super nice. 10/10, absolutely recommend and she will be the first person we hit up should we need a dog sitter in the future! Thank you, Gloria and family!”

We could tell that our dog enjoyed herself based on her behavior. Elona gives off good vibes and positive energy, which translate to being a great caregiver for animals. I would most DEFINITELY use her again, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.”

This was our first time using Rover, and Samantha made the whole experience so easy and stress-free! She sent us multiple updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly kind and allowed Sadie to be the only dog during her stay. It’s clear that Samantha and her family genuinely love every dog that comes into their home and treat them like one of their own. They made sure Sadie was played with, engaged, and given plenty of attention. We could tell she was happy and well cared for when we picked her up. We’re so grateful to Samantha and her family and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy sitter!

Jessica and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Clara. Her kids showered Clara with lots of love and attention. Jessica sent me adorable photos of my girl, daily showing me all the things she was getting up to during her stay. They handled her meds perfectly and kept me updated on any issues Clara was having.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Gailyn and Michael! They took such wonderful care of Precious and treated her like she was their own. I was away for 9 days, and they sent me pictures and updates throughout her entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the photos and messages that Precious was comfortable, happy, getting lots of snuggles, and completely at home with them. 🥹💕 What I appreciated most was how attentive they were to her personality and little needs. They even reached out to ask how they could comfort her when it started thundering, which meant so much to me. By the end of her stay they had completely figured out her funny little personality. Precious clearly adored them, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe, loved, and being spoiled while I was away. I would absolutely trust Gailyn and Michael with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them in the future. Thank you both for loving my little girl so well! 🥰🐾💕

We are so grateful to have found Janet to be a surrogate mama for our little Callie while we travel. She was so warm and clearly loved our girl as much as we do and Callie made so many new friends! Janet sent photos or videos every day with regular updates and she was beyond gracious and understanding when our flight home was delayed and she kept our girl for an extra night. I already know Callie will be excited to return for her own vacation the next time we go away and can’t recommend Janet highly enough to other fur mamas and papas!

Seaura and her family were very loving to our goldendoodle dog and made him feel home as we traveled outside the county for a month. My pet was a little under the weather and Seaura was very accommodating in coordinating with his vet and feed him his meds on time and also bought meds as directed by vet to ensure our pet recovered from his illness. She also kept us constantly updated with photos and videos so we We really appreciate the care she provided and would definitely be going back to her in the future. Thank you Seaura!

It was a pleasure having Layla watch our Doberman Leo. He was well loved in her home. She sent us pictures daily, took him to a dog park in her neighborhood when there were no other dogs around and she played with Leo along with her own dog. She even offered to give him a bath before we picked him up. We will definitely be booking with Layla in the future.

Carolyn was great! She was very kind and took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made me feel much more comfortable leaving my dog with her. My furry baby felt very comfortable with her right away. She was always communicative, attentive, and caring about Milo’s needs. She was especially thoughtful about his dietary needs and made sure to follow his routine. She also kept me updated and sent me several pictures, which I really appreciated.

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 Lakeshore 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 Lakeshore.

<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 Lakeshore 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.
