“Laura was so wonderful to Teagan that when I pulled in to pick her up she almost wanted to go back inside and stay😂 in all seriousness, Teagan looked like she had a great time and I will absolutely try to book with Laura next time we head out of town!”
“Kelly was super sweet! She sent pictures over the weekend she had our dog and had a great fenced in yard for our energetic staffy to play and sniff.”
“Rachel was awesome! Freyja had room to run and friends to run with, and I received photos updating me throughout her stay. She's my first choice when I have to go out of town for work.”
“Rosangely communicated the entire time and was very patient with this being a last minute booking 🥹 I am so very grateful and would definitely book again !!! (She also sent lots of adorable photos and videos 😊)”
“Alyssa was wonderful with our Winston! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on everything. Winston was very comfortable with Alyssa. Would definitely recommend and book with again! Thank you!!!”
“Em was awesome! She ensured our boys got plenty of love and playtime, sent pictures daily and responded to all of my messages very quickly. Highly recommend.”
“Brad is an excellent care taker of my 17 year old Morkie. Lucky is blind and trying to live out the remianing years in the best way possible. Having someone care for him when I need to travel is essential. Brad treats lucky as if its his own. Lucky always is comfortable with his stay there, getting special care and attention. I highly recommended Brad for your pet, no matter the age or breed.”
“Sanja and her family were awesome with my 65 lb Chow, Kenzie. It was the best vacation of his life! He played, walked, had treats, went to the dog park, slept where he wanted and had so much fun I worried he wouldn't want to come home! Kenzie doesn't like water and was lounging by the pool, stretched and fell in. Sanja's dog, Sheba "rescued him" by jumping in the pool and guiding him to the steps. She shared her toys and treats and Kenzie loves her. Sanja and her husband, Tom, are clearly dog lovers. They cared for Kenzie like their own pet. I am so happy to find Sanja and will definitely use her often. I loved the daily photos that reassured me he was not only well cared for but having a great time. THANK YOU Sanja! Love Kenzie and Susan!”
“She did an awesome job! Yekaterina was very accommodating toward our fur baby. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, made a great suggestion to help our cat gt acclimated to an unfamiliar environment. Would definitely book again!”
“Gabriella is very nice and easy to work with. She sent videos and pictures, and kept us updated on our puppy. He chewed up her TV remote and she was very chill about it. Highly recommend her!”
“I would definitely use Sarah as a pet sitter again! She made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication and very easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures during the stay. Also, updates on how the nervous pup was! For her to house both pups was SO helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“Edward was AWESOME!!! He's very quick to respond and professional. He will always give you updates and photos while you are away from your babies. He was very patient with my anxious Aussie as well. Feel safe and secure with Edward watching over your pets!”
“Best overnight dog boarder in JAX! Watched my pup for a week and he had so much fun plus a safe, loving environment to stay in. Above and beyond with pictures and level of care. Will absolutely be using Natazia in the future for any dog care needs!”
“Krystal does such a wonderful job with my Ringo. He’s big, old and grumpy but he loves her. He comes home happy and tired from playing and having fun and is always excited to go there.”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew always take the best care of our little River! She was so excited to be staying with them again. And we got lots of updates again which was fantastic! We trust she’s in great hands with them.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and Kristin made it amazing. She sent us lots of updates on how Jake was doing during his stay. It was very comforting to see how well he was doing while we were gone. We highly recommend Kristin!”
“Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated regularly and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Would 100p recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
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.
Fantastic! Victoria was so wonderful to work with and treated our Juniper like her own. Our rental did not allow pets so we were able to drop our dog off for overnights and she fed her for us each night and morning, while we got to take her with us for the fun day stuff! 100% would recommend Victoria!

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.
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 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.
