“We had a fantastic experience with Dee! From the very beginning, Dee was professional, caring, and attentive to Denver’s needs. She provided regular updates, including pictures and videos of Denver playing with his new friends, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Denver was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with Dee. It’s clear that Dee truly loves animals. I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you again Dee for a wonderful first time experience using Rover and for your amazing care for my pup! 😊”
“Tim, Crystal and family did a wonderful job of taking care of our baby. They sent lots of pictures throughout the week. That took him on car rides and to the park. He was very spoiled. I highly recommend them to anyone.”
“As wonderful as ever! We get the cutest pics and videos and our pup always leaves happy 😊 I also sincerely appreciate all the updates and recap of the stay upon pickup.”
“Richard did such a great job with my pups. They seemed so happy when I left them and when I picked them up. It’s rare to find a place you can trust when you make a reservation at the last minute. I’m so glad Richard was available and took such great care of Jyn and Luna!”
“Vanessa took great care of our Rottweiler puppy Nigel. He came back biting much less than when we left him, not sure what she did to help with that but we noticed the difference.”
“Curley always has a good time at Bruce’s home! He takes excellent care of our furry family member and always shares many pics so we know how he is doing! 5 stars, thanks so much!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! They treated Kaia like she was their own dog, giving her so much love, attention, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and entertained, even taking the time to play frisbee with her (one of her favorite activities!). It was clear that they genuinely enjoyed spending time with her, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Amazing amazing amazing!!! We will be re booking everytime with Carla! My dog had the best time and enjoyed every second of his visit! I am so thankful to find a loving and kind family to watch our boy!”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“Jonathan and Ally were such a good fit for my Aussie/Heeler, Kovu. I felt good seeing they had watched other high energy dogs, and while Kovu is super sweet, she is very timid at first. She settled right in, and I knew she felt safe and at home when they shared that she slept in bed with them. They have a fenced in turf area, and a separate potty area and plenty of fresh water out for the pups. From the first message, they responded so quick to my booking. Less than an hour, they agreed to watch her. When my flight was delayed and I had to push her drop off a bit later than anticipated, they were accommodating and quick to message me back, same with pickup as well when I decided to come earlier than my anticipated time. If I was local, I would 100% use them again and so appreciated my baby girl feeling so welcomed and safe in their home.”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Amber is the best dog sitter! She cares for our baby Benjamin as well as other dogs she sits. If you want a reliable, caring person, who updates you on the well being of your dog, you’re in the right place!”
“John was fantastic! Pick-up and drop-off were super easy, and he was very trustworthy and communicative throughout the stay. He sent lots of updates and photos, and it was clear my dog was comfortable, happy, and completely at ease with him. His rates were very affordable, and for all those reasons I’ll definitely use John again!”
“Charlene is so thorough and caring with our fur babies. The entire family loves and cares for all the pups and it shows. Love seeing all the pictures with her and her kids interacting with Lilo and Stitch. They take great care of our pups when we are away.”
“Mindy was amazing, Archie had an amazing time with her daughters and pups. There is a great backyard; and its one of the best places Archie ever stayed where I suppose he had lot of fun. He was happy & very healthy after we got him back home :) I think I finally found a second home for Archie whenever we are out on work or vacation!! ? Thank you Mindy!”
“Dolly had a great time! Good communication throughout her visit and she always looked happy! Photos and videos are always appreciated and they did a great job with that as well! Will book again”
“Only person I trust to watch my dog now. Hailey is great and always keeps me updated on how my pup is doing and sends a lot of pictures! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Vanessa was amazing taking care of twin while we were out of town for the weekend. She kept communication and sent us tons of pictures and updates. Love her service. Thank you for taking such great care of twinny boy.”

I can't thank Krystal enough! She kindly accepted my last-minute request with only two days' notice due to unexpected emergency travel. My precious senior boy and I are rarely apart, so leaving him was especially hard. Her thoughtful updates brought me so much comfort and peace of mind during a stressful time. Knowing he was safe and cared for meant more to me than words can express. I'm truly grateful for her kindness and would trust her with my sweet boy again in a heartbeat! ❤️🐾
Maverick, my Australian Shepherd wrecking ball, stayed with Katrina for a few days and everything went amazing! Katrina came picked him up from our home. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the weekend, and brought him home safe and sound on Sunday, as agreed. He came home happy and full of energy, so I’m certain he had a great time. Katrina was very sweet and communicative. Will definitely recommend and will use her services again!!
Ruby is fantastic! She not only kept us updated us on Beau's daily well-being with pictures and texts, but she also informed us of a potential medical issue and volunteered to take our furbaby to our vet. Turns out, thankfully, that was not needed but the compassion for our pet was tremendous. I will never put one of my pets in a kennel again as long as Ruby is available to do the sitting. Highly recommend her!!!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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 Mims 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 Mims 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 Mims.
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 Mims. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Mims 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.
