“There is no way to be able to let you know what a great job Sheila did taking care of Sprinkles while I was away. She not only spent the entire week making sure that Sprinkles was happy and comfortable, but she also made her a welcome member of her family. She added many extra touches to ensure that she was content, including a very cute pedicure. Thank you so much for your exceptional care of Sprinkles, and I will be leaving Sprinkles with Sheila at every opportunity.”
“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Chantal and her family were so sweet to our old man. Her puppy played well with him and he felt so comfortable! Chantal was kind, professional, and gave our furbaby lots of love! She is now our go-to dog sitter!”
“Thank you so much for keeping Dakota you were great and made sure I was updated on how Dakota was doing during his stay I can tell he had a great time will book again with you in the future”
“5,000 stars and YES!! I came in from out of town for a conference and needed to board my dog. My dog received over-the-top treatment, which is still an understatement. My pup, Laika, is codependent, and Ana’s son, William, bonded to an extreme degree with Laika — so much so that Laika was depressed the first few days back with me. I can’t recommend this Rover house enough! Ana and her son, William, sent Laika and myself home with homemade dog treats, and a cute container decorated for Christmas!”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Always amazing!!! Nicole takes such amazing care of our pup every time. She is attentive and creates a warm loving home for our pup. We especially love all the updates and photos during his stay! 10/10 will always use Nicole again!”
“Our young lab Storm had a great time hanging out at Jeannette's house this past weekend with her dog. From the way it sounds and how well he slept the night we picked him up he probably played the entire time. She was super easy to communicate with and sent lots of great pics of him hanging out in the water, her house and backyard while he was visiting. We would definitely recommend her for anyone wanting a positive experience for their dog.”
“Pepper clearly had a wonderful time with Dakota's family. Lots of play time with other dogs, lots of cuddle time with her children, and lots of attention. Pepper was also the model for a great drawing from Dakota's daughter, and that drawing now is posted on my refrigerator! During the recent snowstorm, a rarity in this part of Arkansas, Pepper enjoyed the experience with Dakota's family her dogs.Will certainly bring her back for another visit when it's time!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
“We love having Jessica watch our boy. She sends plenty of updates and keeps his schedule. We appreciate that she gives him time outside for walks as well. She’s great!!”
“Million took lots pictures and provided constant updates while watching my dog at her house. From the beginning she asked all the right questions that lets you know she is experienced and takes pride in her work. I'd have no problem using her again.”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Chloe was amazing! I was worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Chloe made the process so much easier. She is attentive, responsible, and caring and we will most definitely use her in the future. Champ loved his time at Chloe’s!!”
“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Robert went above and beyond watching our dog, who can be a handful. He sent us pictures daily and haley just had a great time. He has a dog named charlie, and haley has a new boyfriend! His house is dog proofed with gates up. Robert is a PRO! He gave haley her medicine. He knows how to handle to handle dogs, and i just can't say enough nice things about how he treated my dog. I don't even think my dog wanted to go home! Thank you so much robert for taking such good care of our beloved dog, it is so nice knowing we have a place to put haley when we go away and don't have to worry.”
“Tyeshia was super nice and caring with Baldr. He had a splendid time relaxing with her family, being in a calm household and daily walks is Baldr's favorite past times. We will definitely be seeking her service again when we go away. Thank you Ty”

I was a bit nervous dropping Nova off with someone as I was coming into town for vacation and taking her out of town to my next stop. Ana was pleasant at drop off, throughout the visit and for pickup. Pictures were sent regularly of her enjoying the time with other dogs. If I'm ever in need of services in the area I'll be booking with her.
Kalvin was great with our two dogs. We felt very comfortable with him watching our dogs as he kept us updated throughout. He kept to their walk routine and overall made it easy for them to transition to some else’s home for a whole week. We will definitely be booking with Kalvin again!
Sheila was lovely and it was obvious her love for pets. She asked clarifying question regarding meal protocols/ allergy treatment etc. She demonstrated her care and concern for Bodhi and Little Sister and communicated daily. I could tell they were at ease. I greatly appreciate her going above and beyond supporting both me and them while scouting for a new home out of state. Thank you Mzzzzzz Sheila🙏🏻
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From start to finish, Hannah was warm, reliable, and truly attentive to every detail. She sent regular updates and photos, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely adored Hannah and her roommate — I could tell from the happy tail wags and relaxed behavior when I saw all of the wonderful pictures. They went above and beyond, treating my pups like their own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Hannah. I will definitely be booking again!
Rachel was absolutely fantastic with our pup! Rachel went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable and loved while we were away. She sent us regular updates and tons of pictures, which really put us at ease. It was clear that she treated our pup like her own, giving her plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a sitter!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mary Esther 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 Mary Esther.
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 Mary Esther 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.
