“Joseph and his dad took great care of Mia. I was worried about her being around his dog, Luna, because she is a big dog. Normally, Mia doesn't get along well with big dogs. She loved Luna, and they did well together. I had an emergency the night I was supposed to pick up Mia. Joseph was gracious enough to let Mia stay until I could pick her up the next day. Joseph is very kind, understanding, and compassionate. You can tell that Joseph and his dad really love dogs.”

“Tilly had a wonderful weekend stay with Lauren! The minute I met her she was warm, and willing to accommodate Tilly‘s needs knowing she’s a cuddle bug and loves one on one time. I was able to communicate with her throughout Tilly’s stay with her and I loved receiving updates and pictures daily. I would highly recommend using Lauren services, and I look forward having her stay with her again!”

About: The loss of my very first cat (and best friend) happened because of a neglectful pet sitter. Ever since then, it is my goal to offer the safest and kindest care possible to all animals that I meet. Services Offered: -Tailored in-home pet sitting and visitations based on your pet’s individual needs and routines. -Playtime, interaction, and walkouts for dogs. -Feeding, provision of fresh water, and thorough maintenance of their cages/boxes/litters. -Professionally offering oral medication, treatment, and senior pet care. -Consistent photo and video updates at each visitation. Experience in Pet Care: Many years spent caring for the pets of my relatives, friends, and neighbors provided me with a vast and versatile experience. The experience includes the care of active large breeds, delicate small dogs, nursing vulnerable newborns of kittens, and medication schedules of senior cats. In my teens, people brought stray animals to my place for rehabilitation and treatment. Availability and Schedule: My flexible schedule is possible due to being a full-time student. My classes are carefully scheduled so that my pets will never be left alone for too long. I do not have a job outside of classes which allows for many free hours to see my clients midday, interact and give them personal care. I am a UF student who has class late morning/early afternoon. When I wake up I have a cuddle session with my cat and open the door for his little sister to join him. After I am done with classes I usually study, relax at my house with my cats and recently car train them and socialize them with unsocialized cats. This time is perfect for me to come visit or board a cat at home since I am generally home from 2-3pm until the rest of the day. I live in a cat/kitten proof apartment with a closed patio. There is a lot of toys, and two cat trees. I am very patient with cats and educated on ways to make them as comfortable as possible in a new/ stressful environnement.

About: I have extensive experience caring for my pets, providing them with dedicated attention and love throughout their lives. My commitment to their happiness and health reflects my deep passion for animals and my understanding of their individual needs. We are College students. Kenya studies in the morning and works in the afternoon, and Emanuel only studies in the morning and has the whole day off; weekends are free for us. We don't go out much to events like parties; we stay at home a lot. Our place is healthy, good, and small. We live in a quiet area, and no matter what service you choose, we will always provide the same security and peace to all the pets that leave us in charge. In our house, we do not consume any alcohol or illegal substances by our own decision; we do not have noisy neighbors or people who do things like that.

“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”

“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! We cannot say enough good things about her. She watched our two puppies (4 months and 9 months) for a week while we were on vacation. Our oldest pup can be a little timid sometimes and typically doesn’t adjust to new people or places easily, so we were a little worried about leaving him with someone new. He ran right up to Emily and was immediately super comfortable with her. We got updates every day (sometimes multiple per day!) and so many pictures of them!! It was clear that they had the best week away and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up. We will absolutely be using Emily again in the future!”

“From the moment I met her, I had full confidence in Brenda because she told me that she wants to be a veterinarian!!! When I reunited with Kaussie, it was evident that Kaussie had already fallen in love with Brenda and her family due to the exceptional care he received. Also, Scooby played so well with Kaussie that I was overjoyed to see Kaussie make a new friend. Most of all, Brenda's backyard is incredibly spacious and securely fenced, so Kaussie might have been reluctant to come back to his home, lol. Choosing Brenda might have been a coincidence, but I truly believe it was the luckiest decision I made!”

“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”

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 Lochloosa 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 Lochloosa.

<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 Lochloosa 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.
