“Maria was great and the house and yard were perfect for Henry. Maria sent pictures and updates every day we were gone. I could tell he was very happy and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Maria and would not hesitate to rebook (actually we already have)!! Thank you Maria!”
“Alexander is such a wonderful sitter. Arthur was happy when we pick him up. Although it was his first time to be away from us, Alexander sent us messages & videos. Thank you soo much Alexander!!”
“Vanessa was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the puppy’s stay. I’ve been hesitant in the past to leave my pup with anyone, but would without a doubt rebook with Vanessa in the future.”
“Alexis did a wonderful job! My dog is rather anxious, but Alexis did a great job taking care of her on a particularly stormy weekend. I appreciated Alexis’ communication (checking in but not too frequent). I would absolutely recommend Alexis to others.”
About: Throughout the course of my life I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking dogs ranging from cocker spaniel to Maltese to my current dachshund mix Lunes. Whether it be a leisurely stroll to sniff some bushes or a quick jog to get the zoomies out, I take note of the importance of getting our babies outside. I currently focus on basic puppy commands like “sit” and “paw” as well as teaching how to love bath time. I am currently a PhD student at UF and am free to focus on the highest quality pet care when I am not in class. I am available for boarding if your pet is friendly with other dogs! During boarding I can easily crate up to a medium sized dog if need be. I take my own dog on walks in the morning, evening, and night, but can be flexible with yours during boarding and house sitting. If you have a larger dog in need of crating, just provide one and that works too! If not, they are free to roam around my apartment and play. My little guy is my pride and joy, so I treat him just as I would any other member of my family and I’ll do the same for yours.
“I had a last-minute trip to town, and Esteisy was incredibly accommodating. My dog had a great time at her place, and I really appreciated how thorough she was with questions beforehand and follow-ups. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Amanda was extremely nice, our dogs LOVED her and the place! Very spacious and nice. Amanda sent updates regularly and also pictures which made me feel at easy. I will definitely book again!”
“Nicholas was a great sitter for my cat. He was very communicative giving updates on my cat everyday with photos and notes. Extremely polite and well mannered with a very clean living space. He was able to accommodate for pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“My fur baby’s go to home away from home. So thankful for this couple. I wouldmt know what to do without them to care for my baby when we go away. Constant updates love and care. Thank u manny and jess! Robbie and ourselves are grateful for u and cash❤️”
About: My name is Stephanie, and I grew up around dogs. I give them a lot of love and dedication. I have a Maltese and a Cockapoo dog and an America Shorthair cat, and other small pets. If you allow me to take care of your dogs, I want to tell you that they will be very safe and careful with me. Every time I see a dog, I melt because all dogs are beautiful. I speak spanish and english. I am one of those people who, if he sees an abandoned dog, picks it up and takes care of it too much. If you need someone to take care of your dog for a few days, or during the day I will make sure that your dog does not feel sad about your absence and that he enjoys it to the fullest with me. I also offer grooming. I have experience about doing grooming and bathing. It would be a pleasure to take care of your dog. Thank you!
“Daisy spent 15 days with Darby. She joined right in and did great! We were so happy to find a sitter that fit our needs. We will definitely use Darby again. She sent pictures and videos of Daisy chilling and playing with Wobee. The 2 dogs got along great.”
“Your pups would genuinely be missing out if you don't pick Emily as their caretaker. - She was incredible with our dogs and took such loving care of them. - She handled our dog's medication on perfect schedule - Sent us plenty of pictures and even videos to make sure we knew our pups weren't just doing okay, they were having the time of their lives. Our dogs were excited to see us, but clearly sad to leave when we came to pick them up. It's also worth mentioning that this was a last minute booking that she took on to help us out. You can't ask for a more kind or considerate person to take care of your fur babies than Emily!”
“Friendly service, nice location. Emily took the best care of our Knoxie. She sent us lots of updates and we could tell she was taking great care and attention to our little puppy. We would definitely ise her again. Thanks Emily!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I spent 6 years at PetSmart caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals, 2 years working at k9’s for warriors. Working with service animals, administering meds, caring for sick/disabled dogs. I’ve also volunteered with local shelters and at Grace Haven Homestead, where I cared for animals ranging from farm dogs and donkeys to foxes. I’ve been around all kinds of animals and personalities, and I love getting to know each one. My goal is simple: to give your pets a safe, cozy place where they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my two boys, so we spend most of our days at home. Pet care fits naturally into our routine because I’m already here throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and company while we go about our normal day. Including any special needs they may need. My kids also love animals, and have been around many to know how to respect them. So having pets around feels like a fun addition to our home rather than a job I’m trying to fit in. I will be the sole caretaker of your animal(s) when here. Caring for pets in my home will depend on if your furry friend is good with kids under 5. My boys are very respectful of dogs and will not bother them. But there will be running, yelling, jumping, playing. Know if your dog is good around kids. We have an acre fenced in yard, plenty of space to run contained. Lots of tree coverage on hot days. Cozy beanbag bed for dogs. We’ll make them feel like family! We have a valley bulldog, cat, and bearded dragon! We love all animals. We look forward to meet yours. Smoke free home. I will be the sole caretaker when your animal(s) are here, the kids will just add love comfort, and fun if they want it!
“Ana was great!! It was our first time to kennel trip for an extended stay . I was worried about the heat and how he would handle being away from us. Her facility is wonderful and very clean, mostly shady with little kid pools for the dogs to cool off in. They have several extended outdoor time and nap times in an air conditioned building . And the pictures !!! I received several pics of Tripp on a daily basis, he was happy, happy. Will definitely return.”
“Sheyciara was really great with our pups! She sent lots of updates and I could tell our dogs were well taken care of when I picked them up. Definitely recommend her! She was flexible with pick up after we got stuck in traffic which I greatly appreciated!”
“This was Luna's second time with Brenda Lee and family. She came home happy and healthy. She gets lots of attention and affection from the family. She likes to run in their backyard, which is surrounded by woods and open space so it's a fun safe place to play.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Lochloosa can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, 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 Lochloosa.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lochloosa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
