“Tyler was great with Duke. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She was easy to communicate with regarding the pick up time. Would definitely use her again!”
“Randy always has the best time hanging out with his buddy Pepper and the whole family! The daily updates bring me so much comfort, especially when you have a dog with health issues. Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of my baby”
“Laura was so sweet with our dog! She was very responsive, took lots of pictures, and most importantly we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her! Thank you Laura!”
“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“Blanca is amazing! She has so much Love and care for both Cooper and his parents.... This was our first time using Rover.com and Blanca. We will definitely 💯 be rebooking with Blanca. 💜”
“We had a great experience with them. She took good care of my dog over a week. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely recommend them. Thank you! 😊”
“My dogs came back HAPPY! Not nervous, angry, shy or desperately trying to get back to me. That never happens. Romi’s is 1000% a place I trust to tell my friends about and I hope more dogs and dog owners get to experience boarding with her.”
“Mariia and her family were excellent! They took such a great care about my little furry friend. Mariia sent me messages and pictures almost every day. I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely book again! ☺️”
About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life and until recently been an owner of a small dog for 16 + years but unfortunately have lost him about a year ago to old age. Now I have retired and looking for something to do with my spare time. If you are looking for someone to take care of your small pet in a safe , cosy environment. You are at the right place. I am retired as I mentioned earlier and would be taking care of your fur baby like I took care of my own fur baby for all those years I have a nice fenced yard for your little fur baby to run around and have fun. I don’t like to keep your pet outdoors all the time in Florida heat like most places . They will be indoors with me. I will walk your baby at-least a couple of times on my cosy little neighborhood with least amount of traffic and noise
“Lindsay was incredibly kind, very quick to respond, and great about sending regular updates! We also got in late for a flight and she was super flexible with us picking up our dog. would highly recommend”
“Grandma C is by far the best Rover I have ever booked. My dog is very anxious with new people, but he immediately took to her which is really uncommon behavior for him. He was very obviously feeling comfortable and safe within minutes of arriving and I wouldn’t have wanted anybody else to watch him. She will treat your pet like it’s her own fur baby. Will definitely book again!”
“Brad treats my Cole like he was his own dog. When we pick Cole up, he’s very happy and seems to like staying with Brad. We highly recommend him for pet sitting as well as doggy daycare.”
“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”
“Rosangely was great! So kind and very communicative throughout my dogs stay. She made sure he was well taken care of with lots of cuddles and plenty of walks! Would absolutely recommend and I will be booking her again in the future!!”
“Just WOW!! Would leave my pups with them any day!. So kind and loving. Even took care of my 6 month old which I know can be a lot of work. Kept me updated while out of the country. Would highly recommend!!!!”
“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”
“Emma and Adam were amazing and we are so grateful they were willing to take on our 2 challenging pups for a week. A big huge thank you to their sweet pup Patrick for putting up with our pups. Emma sent pics and updates regularly and kept them on a routine with plenty of walks and exercise. I was super nervous to leave them with someone new for so long but she put my mind at ease and was super supportive. We would not hesitate to have her watch our pups again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Lindsay is a true dog lover. We were lucky to find her after our regular sitter canceled. Lindsay accepted Ziva the day before we had to leave on a short vacation. She was wonderful, sent us photos daily and kept us informed of her mood and eating habits. She has a large safe fenced yard and welcoming home for pets to relax in. Her own pet dogs kept Ziva company and occupied. We can recommend Lindsay for your dog sitting needs.

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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood.
<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 Lakewood 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 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
