“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“So very happy to have found Audrey & Karson. Knowing that my anxious dogs are well taken care of is such a relief. I'm torn about giving them a good review because I want to keep them for myself. :)”
“Roxie loves staying with Ranae and her husband. She runs in to see them as if she is right at home. They are very friendly and communicative throughout. Makes me happy to see Roxie so happy.”
“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”
“She was awesome! She stayed communicating at all times made sure my puppy was comfortable. Sent lots of videos and pics. I’ll definitely book with her again! Recommend 💯”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with them over the holidays. I received great communication and beautiful pictures. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend!”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Excellent!! Charlie and Lisa were flexible and were easy to work with around our schedule. They took careful care of our 12-year-old Parson Russell Terrier. We highly recommend their services, and we will schedule their care for our next visit to the Bradenton area.”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
“Felicia was wonderful with our girl, Josie, we would highly recommend and will take her back on our next trip. When she she moped after we left, Felicia worked with her to make her feel at home. This took a lot of extra time and loving which was freely given. Lots of healthy treats, brushing and long walks got her tail wagging and happy. We got lots of pictures and updates I could see how happy and content Josie was. So leave your furry friend there and know you’ll get care and attention and not have to worry. Her years of experience and compassion shows, this isn’t just a part time job for extra money, she enjoys it!”
“I recommend her 100%! She took care of Oviler with so much love and passion. Oliver was happy with her and she sent me pictures and updates frequently. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Lori is amazing! Our dog was so nervous and scared coming to a new place. Lori took her time to get to know our dog and it didn’t take very long before our dog was enjoying Lori’s home and hanging with another furry friend. Thank you Lori!”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have been helping care for pets since I was young. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing basic care for both dogs and cats. I am dependable and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and will follow all instructions carefully. I also have experience administering oral medications and insulin injections to pets, making me comfortable caring for animals with special medical needs. As a responsible college student pursuing a career in healthcare, I am determined to ensure that every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide regular updates and will treat your pets like my own. I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and of course playtime. I'll make sure your baby will receive exactly what they need while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions or requests you provide (even if they’re a bit strange 😁). I will always make sure your babies have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of love and attention. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you know your baby is happy and well cared for.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
