“Arlene was very attentive to our Gia. It was the first ti.me that we had left her with someone. He sent pictures during the stay which we appreciated. We will go back to him next time. Thanks Arlen!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ariel was truly incredible, and we cannot thank her enough for the amazing care she provided to our princess, Pinky 🐶. From start to finish, Ariel went above and beyond to make sure Pinky felt safe, loved, and comfortable. She was so attentive, patient, and genuinely caring—treating Pinky like her own. We received thoughtful updates, and it was clear that Pinky was happy and well cared for the entire time. Ariel’s kindness, reliability, and dedication gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her outstanding support and service. If you’re looking for someone who will truly love and care for your fur baby, Ariel is the absolute best. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
“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.”
“Our dog, like so many people's dog, is a member of our family, so we are cautious about where he stays and who takes care of him. Sheena is amazing, sends us updates, and is really easy to communicate with and coordinate with. We are blessed to have her to watch our pup and would highly recommend her.”
“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for more than 30 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my Golden Retriever was my constant companion and best friend. That early bond taught me the importance of patience, trust, and the unconditional love that pets bring into our lives. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, birds, and rabbits, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, needs, and care routines. From energetic pets who love playtime and walks to older animals who need a gentler touch, I understand that every pet deserves individualized attention and care. One of my most meaningful experiences was rescuing my Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix in 2018. When I brought him home, he was severely infested with fleas and needed extra care, patience, and treatment to become healthy and comfortable again. Helping him recover strengthened my commitment to providing animals with the love and support they need to thrive. I've also cared for my brother's Yorkie during a period of illness, ensuring he received consistent attention, comfort, medication, and monitoring. This experience taught me the importance of being attentive to changes in a pet's behavior and maintaining a calm, reassuring presence when they're not feeling their best. As a pet caregiver, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals, I will provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered) family members! Why Pet Owners Choose Me 30+ years of hands-on experience with dogs, birds, and rabbits Experience caring for rescue pets and senior or sick animals Patient, dependable, and attentive to individual needs Comfortable following feeding schedules and care instructions Committed to treating every pet like family Regular communication and updates while you're away I'm currently home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just companionship, I have a flexible schedule that lets me meet each pet's individual needs and maintain their normal routine. I provide attentive, personalized care for pets in both my home and my client's home. I have plenty of open outdoor space for leashed walks and exercise, and I have a friendly small dog who can provide companionship for social dogs. I always prioritize safety and follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care instructions. I am comfortable with crate training and can accommodate crating requirements when requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I strive to create a comfortable, stress free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Angela took amazing care of Bentley. It was the first time I've had to leave her for an extended amount of time so I was a little anxious but Angela helped me feel completely at ease.

I would definitely recommend Angela and will be sure to use her again in the future.”

Saúl was absolutely amazing with Tommy! Tommy is a very nervous dog, and Saúl went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. He kept me updated throughout the entire stay with photos, videos, and detailed messages about how Tommy was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. He was very attentive, took Tommy out regularly, and genuinely cared about his well-being. It was clear that he treated Tommy like his own dog. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Saúl to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Tommy. Saul is officially Tommy’s uncle ❤️
We couldn't be happier with the care Emilie and her husband provided during our dog's stay. He was with them for over a week, and we also added several training sessions. From the very beginning, Emilie was incredibly communicative, attentive, and made us feel confident that he was in great hands. She went above and beyond to understand his specific needs, especially his separation anxiety, and tailored his training accordingly. Since coming home, we've already noticed a significant improvement in both his separation anxiety and his leash walking, and we're so grateful for the time and care she put into helping him. It's such a great feeling to know you have someone you can completely trust with your dog. We truly appreciated the updates throughout his stay and the genuine care they showed him. We'll absolutely be booking with Emilie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care and training. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Ferb!
Adrian was fantastic! She took excellent care of our dogs while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. She sent daily pictures and updates, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
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!!
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!

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.
