“Five stars aren’t enough for Ariel. While we were on vacation, we experienced an unexpected death in our family and suddenly needed our senior dog boarded for an extra week. During an incredibly difficult and emotional time, Ariel stepped in with compassion, flexibility, and genuine care that went far beyond what we could have hoped for. Our senior dog was so well taken care of — Ariel made sure he received all of his medications, got regular exercise suited to his needs, and, most importantly, was surrounded by love. It brought us so much comfort knowing he was safe, happy, and even making new friends while we handled such a painful situation. We will be forever grateful for Ariel’s kindness, understanding, and the exceptional care she gave our dog when we needed it most. She is truly special, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”

“My Havanese Matty enjoyed his stay with this family. There were a couple of other little dogs that he was able to play with and I can tell from the pictures I received throughout the day that he had the best day ever. I highly recommend Angela to care for your dog while you're away.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My last fur baby lived to be 18 years old. I have a 9 month old puppy. I’m very familiar with puppies and senior dogs. I just work part-time as a realtor. I’m not gone for more than a few hours at a time . Available 7 days a week. I live in a beautiful gated community. I live on a dead end street with a park. It is a quiet and safe community. I take pride in my home and make sure it’s a safe and loving environment.
“Jenny was great with Marley! She made Marley feel at home, comfy, entertained, and well fed. She sent a picture and text message daily, so I felt completely at ease. We will book with Jenny again.”
“Absolutely will recommend Jessica anytime. She has been great with my fur baby both times I’ve trusted Jessica with her. She communicates and sends me photos of my baby throughout. Even did a photoshoot with her last time!”
“Natalie was awesome! She was great at communicating and sending pictures of my girlie. Natalie was very patient with my girl that needs a pill with each meal too. I went into this booking thinking I had filtered for taking one dog at a time, but found out quickly that was not the case, haha. Natalie did send me a picture of each new dog as it arrived, which is how I found out. BUT it actually worked out great! My dog loved having some friends to hang out with while we were gone. I think my dog will be sleeping for a few days now after having so much fun.”
“Payal was amazing taking care of Ted! Communication was 10/10: she shared pictures and videos all the time, and I could clearly see my dog was happy and in great hands. I strongly recommend her!”

When I took them back they looked happy and confident ! Lina also sent me photos almost every day and I didn’t worry at all on my vacation time! I recommend Lina and her family, it’s will be lovely vacation for your dogs!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Mary as our dog sitter. She sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she kept us updated on how our dog was doing the entire time. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would happily have her watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
We stopped over a week or so before so she could meet Kai and we could meet Angela. Angela is very kind and caring. Our little guy, Kai, immediately felt comfortable at her very clean and dog friendly home. We were so at ease leaving Kai with Angela. We will definitely be repeat customers.
I haven’t tried a new sitter in 5 years and was so nervous. Meeting Ivana was a wonderful experience and she put my mind at ease. She has a calming energy and Ogie is so adorable and sweet. Ivana sent me lots of updates and treated Miura like her own. I am grateful to have found her and highly recommend!!
We’re so grateful for the amazing care they give our dog, Flame! 🐾❤️ Every time we leave him, we know he’s in loving hands and treated like family. It truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive with their pets!
I really appreciated the clear and consistent communication throughout the week. Being my dog’s first time staying with Jeffrey, it meant a lot to receive regular updates and all the details about how he was adjusting to his new environment. It made me feel reassured and confident that he was in good hands.
Elizabeth is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Noel and treated him like her own. You can truly tell how much love she has for what she does ❤️ When I got home, I even found a surprise gift she had hidden for Noel — such a thoughtful and personal touch. It’s those little things that make her stand out. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gives. Highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for someone who will love your pet like family!
Gregory was excellent for Gizmo's stay. It was nice to have a meet up prior to the stay to ensure she got along with his dog, and he sent photos and updates about how she was doing throughout her stay. He was also flexible with our travel delays, etc, which was much appreciated!
Adrian took such great care of Cash while I was away for a week. She sent daily pictures and updates, which really gave me peace of mind and made it easy to stay connected. From everything she sent, I could tell Cash felt right at home and was really happy. I would absolutely trust Adrian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lauderdale-by-the-Sea landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lauderdale-by-the-Sea 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 Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
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 Lauderdale-by-the-Sea 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.
