“Colleen did an excellent job taking care of our 3 Beagle fur babies! Each pup has a unique personality and she gave them each the attention they needed. They all ate while we were gone which was shocking, usually they don’t. She shared lots of pics and kept us informed on their care! Highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time boarding our three dogs and we were so grateful for Aaron and his families care during their stay. We got photo video updates throughout the weekend and never had to wonder about how they were doing. We would definitely recommend their care!”
About: I have always taken care of my dog when my family goes on vacays and also have dog sat for my neighbors and my cousin! I currently work part time so i’ll be available before/after work and on weekends as well. my shifts are typically only 4 hours so they won’t be alone for long! I always make sure they have lots of play time and make sure they are well taken care of. I love all pets like they are my own!
About: Greetings! My name is Colleen. I’m new to Rover, but my daughter has had a successful Rover business for 4 years in Alaska. I recently visited my daughter and while I was there I had the privilege to join her on some of her dog walks and found it to be a true pleasure, and therapeutic, to meet her clients, love on and walk their pets. What a great experience! I have had pets and farm animals most of my life, and raised my children with animals being treated as family members (probably why my daughter is loving her business with Rover). As you can tell I live in Florida (not Alaska lol). Many years ago I was a foster home for a dog rescue. I have been involved in youth programs that taught kids how to raise pigs and show them at local county fairs. I retired from a 20 year career in healthcare 4 years ago. Since then I’ve been helping with a family business and caring for disabled family members navigating our healthcare system. I’m excited for the opportunity with Rover to be able to provide a service to my clients and their pets during times of need so that your pet gets the love and care they deserve, and you’ll get the peace of mind knowing your pet is being loved and well cared for. Thank you for considering me. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m currently not working and have been dedicating my time to care for my family members that need a little help so my time and availability is very flexible. Unfortunately I recently lost my dog of 13 years. My little bit was an amazing little Shih Tzu that brought my family so much joy during her life. I currently have no pets in my home as I’m still healing from little bits passing over the rainbow bridge, so I just love on all my family members and friends pets. Now, I’m ready to love on yours as well.
“Jessica was awesome with my babies. From playing ball with them, to walking and cuddling them she was really what they needed that day. Great with communication updates and pics. Highly recommend.”
“As always kammie goes above and beyond. Sending lots of pictures, taking ronan out for walks, cleaning up his food and water area, and even sweeping the main area. Thank you so much!”
“Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Madison made me feel at ease, this is the first time I left Buddy with anyone. Buddy sleeps in bed with me so Madison slept in my bed so Buddy wasn't alone at night. Thank you so much!!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I was a zookeeper for 8 wonderful years so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I currently have open availability for all my services. I can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule as well. I treat all animals as if they are my own. With my years of experience in animal care, I do great at reading dog and cat behavior and can respond appropriately in situations.
“Ruby is awesome! Our babies really enjoyed her company and warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely keep her in mind for our future needs! Book with Ruby for any of your needs! 🐾”
“Hailey was simply amazing! She was a perfect fit for our cats, they seemed more comfortable and relaxed with her as a sitter than we've seen before. She sent us pictures every day so we got to see the cats in their favorite places, and watch them warm up to her. The house is exactly like we left it too, such a relaxing end to a trip.”
About: I grew up around dogs and have been helping care for them since I was about 10. Friends and family often ask me to walk, feed, and spend time with their pets, and I also have a rescue dog of my own who loves walks and playtime. Taking care of her has taught me how much patience, attention, and love pets really need. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’m not working right now, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved
“Stephanie is so thoughtful and caring. She showed our dogs loads of love and sent regular updates during her stay at our house. We love her and will definitely have her again!”
About: I’ve always grown up in a home where pets were part of the family. Dogs, especially, have been a constant in my life, and I truly believe they’re some of the most loyal and loving companions we could ask for. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs, dog-sat for friends and family, and had the unique experience of caring for working dog teams while living in Alaska. These experiences have taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs—and I love getting to know them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering oral medications, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while they’re with me. 🐶❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care. I currently work from home, so I'm available whenever your dog needs or wants to go outside! I don't currently have any dog toys for your pup to play with, but if you would like to bring their own, I would love to play with them! Feel free to bring whatever you think your dog might need throughout their stay.
“Cathleen was great. She watched Otis for 6.5 hours in our home while we went to an event. Felt comfortable with having Cathleen in our home and very comfortable with her watching Otis. We will book Cathleen for our next event!”
About: I love pet sitting and boarding because I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while their families are away. 🐾❤️ I treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in loving hands. Also, you will always get plenty of videos and pictures🐶 I’m currently available full. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I make time for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, attention, walks, and cuddles. Also, I do have a fenced in yard for plenty of running. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away.
“This team was amazing and taking care of our son with such a short notice, and I cannot wait to look again and feel the confidence that I had this time with leaving my pet with a good caregiver.”

This was our first time boarding our three dogs and we were so grateful for Aaron and his families care during their stay. We got photo video updates throughout the weekend and never had to wonder about how they were doing. We would definitely recommend their care!
Kasper was great with Molly. She sent photos every day and even found soothing music along with aquarium video to relax Molly when she was away. Our return flight was delayed twice and she stayed later than originally planned. Kasper even sent us a text to make sure we made it home. She went above and beyond. Thank you Kasper. We will definitely be using her again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mims walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mims maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mims choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
