“I have an older dog that is set in her ways and had never been away from home. She stayed with Nola for 2 weeks and came home happy. Nola was wonderful. Sent us pictures every couple of days. I would highly recommend her.”
“I can't say enough good things about Linda! It is obvious that she loves the pets she cares for, I was out of the country for 2 weeks. And my girl was spoiled rotten!!! Linda sent videos of her having the time of her life, running on the property and laying on a lounge chair by the pool, and getting attention from Linda and her husband in the house... I know she was well loved and well cared for for. This is my second time using this sitter and I will use her any time I need to go away, even if it's just a couple of days! It's a blessing to have a place where my dog can go.And it feels like a second home or even a vacation to her! Much gratitude and highly recommend.❤️”
“So sorry it took me a little while to write this, it was so nice being able to travel abroad and not worry about the puppies. Taylor was super attentive to my crazy instructions and kept me posted on the puppies daily if not more at times. My Yorky is diabetic, and I was really worried about leaving her, but Taylor asked lots of questions to make sure she was well taken care of. Already booked the next sitting ❤️”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs my whole life, including puppies and kittens. I know how to tend and care for their individual needs. I work part time so I have plenty of time to bond with pets and diligently care for them when the care is needed from me. I have other cats in my home and they are mainly friendly. I can confine my clients’ animals to my room if that is what makes both parties most comfortable.
“We had a wonderful pet-sitting experience with Nelieze! Our dog, Lulu, was exceptionally well cared for and loved while we were away. Nelieze was amazing—kind, reliable, accommodating, and attentive to Lulu’s needs. She kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in great hands. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Nelieze to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Alia was awesome with the dogs and provided me with several updates and photos while I was away! You can tell she is an animal lover and took great care of my fur babies! I definitely plan on using her in the future!!!”
“My dog is special needs and Ashley was great. Very reassuring and I could tell by speaking with she had experience with special needs and that was so comforting. When I picked Bam up and got him home he was calm and his ailment was not exacerbated which was the case in the past with other sitters. Very thankful we found her!”
“If you are looking for a sitter for your pet, Debra is the one. Debra has been Loly's petsitter for the past 2 years, and has been in Debra's care about 9 times, 100% recommended, thank you Debra!”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“June was so wonderful! She treated Wilson like he was her own. She sent updates and pictures each day and we were so very grateful to have found her! We will certainly contact her again when we need someone to keep Wilson in The Villages.”
“Our pet sitting experience with Brianna went very well. Candygirl was a happy girl and we received many updates and photos while we were away.We would recommend Brianna to everyone seeking caring dependable pet sitting services. Thank you Brianna!”
“Wonderful experience- friendly, dependable, and very attentive to our dogs’ needs. Great communication throughout the stay and lots of updates. They went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! Highly recommend!”

“I wish I could give Angi and Harold more than 5 stars. Our sweet Marley had such a good time. they snuggled her and sent me updates and pictures through the weekend. We felt so at ease that our fur baby was being loved and snuggled. Will book again whenever we go out of town again.”
“Kim has a way with animals that puts them at ease. She was great with Sadie who can be standoffish and nervous with new people. Drop off and pick up were very easy. She was so kind to accept my last minute booking when another sitter had to cancel. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

If you’re looking for someone who is patient, loving, and has great communication with above and beyond service, Andi is your person. I have a disabled senior dog who needs more care, especially when we left her with Andi, she want feeling great. Despite any bump in the road that came up and the extra care needed to be taken with my baby, Andi exceded all expectations. It’s always makes me nervous leaving her with with someone but I was able to trust Andi and she communicated and sent pictures the whole time I was gone. Genuinely, I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter 🙏🏽❤️.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
