“Anas was personable, accommodating..a pleasure to work with, provided us with regular updates, pictures and videos and was prompt in my correspondence with him. He won my dog over with his pleasant demeanor & obvious love of dogs & provided a safe and happy environment. I highly recommend this sitter and will book again. I unfortunately did not get to meet Tate this time. Thank you Anas”
“My dog had a great stay with Adam. This was her second stay, and she was so excited to see him and both his dogs again. He even went out of his way to plan a play date between my dog and a dog friend she made on her first visit. My dog will continue to stay with Adam when she needs a sitter!”
“Stephany and Jean took care of my pup as if she was their own. Im trully grateful to find them and that they were so kind with my dog while we were away. Would deff recommend. Thank you for a great service.”
“if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur baby looking no further. Lorraine treated my Lucky with first class kindness and care. I highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter or overnight stay.”
“Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!”
“We had an absolutely exceptional experience with our sitter! She cared for our newly rescued hound, Georgia, for 11 days, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave her with. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly professional, communicative, and accommodating. She immediately asked about Georgia’s needs and personality and was completely willing to meet her where she was at. Georgia can be an anxious girl, and one of the things we appreciated most was how patient and thoughtful she was with her. She took the time to figure out what worked best for Georgia rather than pushing her too far or putting her in situations that might unnecessarily stress her. She really respected Georgia’s boundaries and let her build confidence at her own pace. It was clear that she genuinely understood that every animal is different and deserves individualized care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Honestly, Georgia had a vacation of her own while we were on ours! She has a beautiful, spacious, fenced-in area for the animals, and Georgia clearly had the BEST time at the farm. Our girl also had a little hot spot that needed some attention, and our sitter kept a close eye on it and cared for it so well that it improved tremendously while she was there. And when we picked Georgia up, she had even had a bath! She was also incredibly kind when I had to cancel one day at short notice. I didn’t expect a refund at all (even told her not to worry about it), but she immediately sent one without hesitation. That really speaks to the kind of person she is. From the communication and professionalism to the genuine care and patience she gave Georgia, this was truly an exceptional experience. We felt completely comfortable knowing our girl was in such good hands, and we will absolutely be back. We couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you for giving Georgia such a wonderful little farm vacation! ❤️🐾 She’s definitely looking forward to her next stay at the farm with her new friends! 🤗”
“Vanessa accepted my last minute request and was very responsive. I was unsure if my dog would get along with other dogs, but she made me feel at ease and reassured me that it would be fine. She sent me a couple of pics and a video of him playing. I would definitely bring my dog back again.”
“Manny and Jessica took great care of our labradoodle puppy. They see by us pictures and had plenty of outdoor space for our dog to play and romp! I highly recommend them for your pet care!”
“Socks always has a great time at Maria’s. She is very attentive to his needs and keeps us informed of his health and activities. He is a young dog that needs his training maintained in our absence and he has never regressed while in her care. She is the top of our list of trustworthy caregivers for Socks.”
“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.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve taken care of animals from all walks of life for as long as I can remember! I’m also a second year veterinary student at UF with experience working part time in a pet hospital, so health and general well-being are my highest priorities for your fur babies! Troubled pup? No prob! My own dog took years of training and guidance to get him to be comfortable around people and able to walk on a leash, so I am willing to help out with dogs from all backgrounds and all training levels! Send me a message, and we can chat about our next visit! Being a full-time veterinary student means I'm usually busy learning how to better take care of your pets Monday through Friday during normal business hours. HOWEVER, there is usually a 1-2hr block cut out of each of my days where I can easily sneak out to take your furry friend on a walk or let them out to go potty! At my home - While I have no fenced yard, my apartment complex has an on-site dog park that's left mostly unused, and we live less than 10 minutes from awesome walking locations like Depot Park, Northside Park, or even just walks around the neighborhood (Stephen Foster area). I do have a kitty named Capybara at home, but she's a recluse who will likely pay no mind to any furiends we have staying with us. Seeing as she keeps herself pretty occupied with napping and watching squirrels from her catio, I will plenty of time to spare for your fur baby! On walks - walking a dog is a truly bonding experience and I prioritize my clients comfortability with our outdoor activities! I love hiking and long walks, but short walks around the block are also good! I love getting the opportunity to get out and active with a four-legged fur friend by my side! Having had reactive dogs of my own, I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and always keep babies on leash to ensure safety and positive experiences on every trip! Have a gentle leader? No fear, I’m very experienced with using one and can even help train your pet to be more comfortable in one as well! Have questions? Don’t be shy! Send me a message, and I’m sure we can work out what’s best for you and your pet!
About: I have extensive experience caring for my pets, providing them with dedicated attention and love throughout their lives.

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.

“Brenda was absolutely amazing with my dog. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter for an extended time and she made me feel so comfortable. Her experience with animals is evident, and she kept me updated constantly with pictures throughout my trip. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Rachel is one of the best sitters I’ve had for Eli. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, took him on several walks, and even found a dog he’d play with, which is rare for him. She was flexible when my plans changed, and I’d definitely book again. She knows dogs!”

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 McIntosh 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 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.
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 McIntosh. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
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.
