“Our dog Autumn returned happy, healthy, and well-cared for. We love Lorraine; she’s a kind, gentle soul. Her beautiful home is well-prepared for her four-legged guests to enjoy their stay. And we got videos and pictures throughout Autumn’s stay, which contributed to our peace of mind. We’re so thankful!”
“Jonathan always takes great care of Olive! Olive truly enjoys going to his house and hiding in all of the blankets. This is my second time leaving Olive in his care, she was happy to be going back and I could tell she remembered spending time there, that put me at ease while I was out of town. Will definitely book again in the future”
“My dogs simply LOVE Amanda and her place. Nice fenced yard, pool, and lots of attention and care! My dogs (2) stayed with Amanda for 5 days, and they were very happy during their stay. Thank you Amanda!! All the best, we will definitely board them again if we need to travel, etc.”
“Stefhany and her family were very welcoming and attentive with all the doggies that were in there care. Experience was exceptional, very communicative, big back yard, updated me frequently by sending me videos and photos of Silmo and that is very appreciated. I felt very conformable and relieved by leaving my dog with her, she is truly a dog lover and loves them. Would definitely request her services again. Thanks again to you and your sweet family.”
“Razor loved his stay with Emily family. She sent me updates everyday with pictures. Razor looked soo happy and did not want to leave. Will definitely be booking Emily again the next time I go out of town.”
“Andi and her lovely family were very loving and kind to Gabe. He appeared to be more than happy during his stay. Andi was kind enough to send photos and I hope I can call on Andi again should the need arise . Thank you Andi.”
“She was wonderful with my two 70 pound dogs,she has a huge backyard which the boys love playing in and she sent me pictures and videos each day and help get the boys in the car because I have a broken arm and that really helped. Thank you for keeping them happy.😍🐕🦺🦮”
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“Adam provided our Rocky a safe and nurturing place to be! It was so nice to get a photo a day showing us how he was doing. Lots of walks and snuggles….Adam was great!”
“Bear looked like he had a great time hanging out with Malibu and getting lots of snuggles. I loved all the pictures of him so I could see that he was settled in and comfortable while I was away!”
“It was really great having Vanessa taking care of my dog. She was really great informing us of how our dog was doing through the day and she was really sweet with our dog. We are truly grateful for a peaceful trip knowing our dog was being taken care of.”
“Our dogs had a great vacation with Shalom and her family. Murphy and Rufus warmed right up to her and her family, including the Great Danes. She was very quick to respond, flexible with times, and great with specific instructions. Thank you Shalom!”
“I am so grateful to Paula and family for taking such good care of my baby. I had a last minute trip and she was so accommodating .She was sitting and enjoying petting when I walked in. I highly recommend Paula.”
“My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Trinity and Thomas. It gave me peace of mind knowing Trinity works as a vet tech and Thomas works from home, so my dog had plenty of attention. We also did a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure our dogs got along, which I really appreciated. It seemed like my dog got lots of playtime with their dog during her stay. I knew beforehand that their dog might tear up soft toys, so we only brought toys we were okay with parting with. However, one of my dog's hard toys and her food bowl also ended up getting chewed, which is not something my dog usually does. Just keep in mind if you bring any toys or food items that their dog may have access to, they may get chewed on.”
“Laquita & James where so helpful and friendly. They gave me constant updates (with pics) of how my dog Millie was while I was gone. They genuinely care and it shows. Millie will be back next time we need a sitter for sure!”

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 McIntosh 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 McIntosh.
<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 McIntosh 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.
