“I had such a wonderful experience with Maria ! She took amazing care of my dog and treated him with so much love and attention. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loved him and made him feel right at home. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again! ❤️🐾”
“Debi was wonderful with my dog, Brooklyn! She welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home. Debi communicated daily with updates and photos, which gave me a peace of mind. Brooklyn was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. I’d absolutely recommend Debi to anyone looking for a friendly and reliable sitter!”
“She took amazing care of my dog! Despite him being very timid, he ended up warming up to her! She gives updates and keeps your dog stimulated and has 24/7 surveillance over your dog. Definitely recommend!”
“Another perfect experience with Elizabeth! I left my mini goldendoodle for the day today and she sent some great photos and videos of Dakota having a blast with her boys and fellow pups under her care. Looking forward to our next stay in January!”
“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Teresa is wonderful! We left our spunky Cocker Spaniel Luna for the first time, with Teresa. She was friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. Teresa sent pictures and videos several times a day so we could see how Luna was doing. She also sent text updates. Teresa has a great fenced in yard, and even took Luna to the local dog park. Luna was happy, clean and well taken care of . We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Kristi was amazing, Very responsive and kept me updated with Lava. Lava was a little intimidated by the other dogs and she made sure he felt comfortable and he was able to loosen up and have fun. Beautiful and clean home as well. I’m so thankful for her she came through for me last minute. Definitely booking again!!!!”
“Kristy and her family were great! She even offered a meet and greet before we booked (no one has ever offered that to us befor on Rover). They took great care of Spike and sent us photos and kept us updated during our time away. Will book with them again if they’re available. Thanks Kristy!”
“Maria took care of Louie as one of her own! She kept us updated with photos and videos; I could tell Louie was enjoying his stay. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Nilda was amazing with Major! This was our first time using Rover and first boarding, and she made us feel completely comfortable from the start. She took great care of him during his 5-day, 4-night stay and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Major came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Nilda again and highly recommend her!”
“Mirelys was excellent. I was so nervous as it was my first time using Rover. Mirelys sent me daily updates and pictures. I feel very comfortable leaving Gladys in her care. We will definitely be rebooking with Mirelys again.”
About: I recently moved from San Diego, California to Florida and would love to continue spending my time around dogs. I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Zoe, my 7-year-old Pit Bull. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to medium and large dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, allergies, and special care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, and I can easily follow your dog’s usual routine and schedule. I have a 7-year-old Pit Bull, Zoe, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each dog’s routine, personality, and boundaries. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.
“Edith is amazing. Constant communication, videos, pictures, and love for my boy. I will never leave Joey anywhere else!!! Thank you, Edith for giving him a home away from home.”
“Tristan and his wife was a pleasure. They took excellent care of my pup. I was so nervous and they provided so many pictures and updates. Everything i sent over came back neat and clean. Enso was happy and in a good mood. I really felt like my dog was in good hands. I will be using them permanently going forward and I’m so happy I found them. 10/10”
“Vadim was amazing with my dog Sunny! He was clearly so well loved and cared for while I was away. I got lots of cute pics and regular updates, and his communication was super fast and easy. I would definitely book with him again. Thank you!”
“I’m soo glad I chose Taina to keep my baby Golden she sent pictures often and treated my fur baby as if he was her own with feeding time, play time and long walks etc.. I would recommend her and definitely book with her again in the future I was so nervous at first but soon after I was relieved she is definitely a heaven sent. Thank you again 🙏🏾”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Melrose Park
We had such a great experience with Diana! Our two girls spent the weekend with her and had the best time. She was wonderful about sending us updates and photos throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind. She took them on walks, kept them entertained, and made sure they were happy and well cared for the entire time. It was so nice knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We’re so happy we found Diana and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and attentive sitter!
Ms Camilla is Blues favorite person. He absolutely loves going to her house and jumps out of the car the moment we get to her house he loves being with her. We have left him for a day and a week and he absolutely loves being at her home. She loves him and takes excellent care of our fur baby and I would highly recommend her care to anyone.
Maria was wonderful with my two dogs, Charlie and Mila! They had an absolute blast and played the whole time. She sent me pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Everything was easy and seamless, from drop-off to pick-up. I would definitely recommend her!
Simply, the best! I’ve never left my dog with a sitter before and I was very stressed about it. Sarah was amazing! After all of the pictures she sent me of my dog smiling I was actually worried she wasn’t going to want to come back to me! I would recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, thoughtful, very hands-on sitter.
Lee Ann was absolutely amazing...my fur babies had a wonderful time and we were able to have a great time without any worry at all because we KNEW our pups were in great hands, we're safe and taken care of so well!!! Lee Ann and her husband are warm and kind!!! We were so happy we rebooked immediately 🥰
Words can't express the love and care my Sami gets when she stays with Marta and Jorge. We get lots of photos and stories about what she's done, how she's helping in the office, or on walks, or in her bed - and not only that, when we went to pick Sami up after her stay, yes she was super excited to see us through the glass door, but then she kind of flopped down in place, next to Marta, as if to say she would be happy and relaxed to stay on. She's NEVER done that before - always wants to bolt out the door and jump into our car! But her state of mind and relaxed and comfortable attitude just showed us how at home she was and what good care they took of her. We all LOVE Marta and Jorge THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (from us and from Sami).
Kacie did an amazing job taking care of Sophie! She kept me updated throughout her stay and made sure Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Kacie was incredibly sweet, attentive, and thoughtful, and I could tell she genuinely cared about Sophie. I would absolutely recommend Kacie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 💕🐾
Mafalda has the magic! Kenzie was a little shy at first, but now she and Mafalda are completely inseparable. Mafalda took the time to meet Kenzie at the dog park before her boarding stay, and I truly think that made all the difference. Meeting in a neutral environment gave Kenzie a chance to get comfortable with her before being in a new setting. Mafalda genuinely cares for every animal she looks after, and her loving, patient approach was exactly what Kenzie needed. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I highly recommend Mafalda for all of your pet-sitting needs!
We had such a great experience with Zully! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. She gave us regular updates and took the time to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated our dog like her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We look forward to booking with her again! 💕
We had a wonderful experience with Leah and Juan! They took such great care of our girl and treated her with so much love and kindness. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. We truly appreciate all the care and attention they gave her, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets! ❤️🐾

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 Melrose Park home-away-from-home, 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 Melrose Park.
<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 Melrose Park 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 , 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 .
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.
