“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was the 2nd time our pup, Romeo, has stayed with Nina. She has made him feel comfortable and right at home, evident in all the pictures and videos she provided during his stay. During this last visit, Nina went above and beyond by crafting Romeo a sweater to take home as well as having him participate in some arts and crafts projects as a gift to us. We appreciate Nina watching our pup while we’re out of town and will definitely be using her for any future needs and recommending her to our friends. Thank you Nina and Piccolo!”

“I can’t express how much gratitude and appreciation I feel for both Alex & Jo. They have truly given Max a second home. They are very caring and extremely flexible. They are truly nice people. I am extremely thankful that they are Max‘s sitters.”
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 had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also taken care of many of my friends’ pets! I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, and responsible, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student, but my schedule is really flexible! I only have one hour of class on Mondays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets, take them on walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention! I’ll make sure your pets are always comfortable, safe, and well taken care of! I’ll follow their usual routines, make sure they have everything they need, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away!
“We are very pleased with the care Axel received at Shalom's. Not only did she send us regular reports about how he was doing, she even included pictures! We can't thank her enough.”

“I had a last-minute trip to town, and Esteisy was incredibly accommodating. My dog had a great time at her place, and I really appreciated how thorough she was with questions beforehand and follow-ups. I would absolutely recommend her.”


“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!”

“Nicholas was a great sitter for my cat. He was very communicative giving updates on my cat everyday with photos and notes. Extremely polite and well mannered with a very clean living space. He was able to accommodate for pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend him to anyone.”

About: I have 5+ years of experience caring full time for my own furbaby + friends/family's precious pups! I also have experience with potty training and crate training. You can expect your pup to be treated like my own during their stay with me! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I can be home with your pet throughout the day these days. I also am completely free on weekends :) Depending on your pup's preferences, we might go on some fun nature hikes near our neighborhood or just chill at home and let them enjoy our large fenced backyard! I have a large fenced in backyard, a lovely neighborhood for walks, a dog park nearby, and several hiking trails nearby as well. We have a large doodle named Elvis who will be in the house. He is super friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is also crate trained so if your pup needs some alone time during the day or prefers to sleep alone at night, we can accommodate that.
About: I’ve had animals since I was around four years old, including three cats and three dogs. During those times I was tasked with feeding and taking care of them properly, along with house sitting friends and families animals while they were on vacation, or just out of town for a period of time. Any task related to animals pet care I’ve most likely done and I love all animals. I’m currently a part-time worker with the Seattle Mariners with a different schedule weekly, working a variety of different times allows me to be very flexible with your scheduling! The animals home is their home, and the pet’s owners know best. Whatever you recommend to gain their trust is what I’ll do (and unconditionally give them love). Safety is number one priority for both myself and the animal, so if anything arises that I think is worthy asking the owner, I’ll call right away.

“I highly recommend booking with Ana! I loved Ana, her family, and her business! Her property is so large and beautiful, and she seems to operate a very well-run establishment with thoughtful routines and lots of puppy play time. She has dogs separated into groups by size, but is also considerate enough to relocate dogs based on their energy levels/temperament (for example, she rotated my pup back and forth between groups because she is so high energy and loves to play!). She sent me photos and videos of my pup, despite having so many other pups to look after. I will DEFINITELY rebook with Ana next time I am in Gainesville.”

“Miranda was amazing and provided a cozy friendly home for my puppy. I got pictures and videos of a happy puppy every day & you can tell she’s a natural! Will absolutely be rebooking with her if I need to go out of town again!”

“Maria ia awesome! We were very happy with Bella"s stay. Bella looked awesome when we picked her up and very excited. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will be using her in the future”

About: I enjoy working with all kinds of animals and have dogsitted for many family friends and neighbors. I have also worked in childcare for 2 years. I’m currently a student athlete and I’m looking to making extra money to pay for college. I would love to fill in my weekends with caring for pets! I have fed and taken the dogs out for walks/potty breaks. I also would play with the dogs and make sure they’re getting the proper fun and exercise that they need.
“I left my two frenchies with Tish for the first time for 3 nights. I could not have been more pleased with the way she took care of them. She sent lots of photos and made sure they were comfortable with their surroundings. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is as picky as I am with who my babies stay with. I will definitely book with her again”

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets. I’ve fostered animals through the Humane Society, administered basic medications, followed feeding routines closely, and prioritize patience, safety, and affection. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible on weekends, plan my schedule around pet needs, and make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed. I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. In a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, keep doors secured, and respect the pet’s routine. I always monitor pets closely, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate updates so owners feel confident and at ease.
“Kelly & her daughter went above & beyond with Maddie and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found them. Kelly kept me updated with pictures and texts throughout Maddie’s stay. I have kenneled Maddie while away from the house for years because of her destructive puppy days and during her stay, Kelly gave her the trust I’ve been so scared of granting Maddie again”

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 Orange Heights 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 Orange Heights 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 Orange Heights.
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 Orange Heights. On Rover:
- 92% 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 Orange Heights 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.
