About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I currently have a young dachshund of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training basics, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I treat every pet in my care like family and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I am a military spouse who works from home so pet care fits easily into my daily routine and allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and playtime without long periods of alone time. I also offer home check-ins for pets who are more comfortable staying in their own space. My schedule is flexible, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routine. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and routines as closely as possible to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent with what they are used to. I provide reliable home check-ins that include feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while keeping the home clean and secure.
About: I'm new to Rover but have spent my whole life as an animal lover. I am a conscientious and gentle person. I know how hard it can be when you're on vacation and your only choice is a kennel. I will make sure your pet has a great time and is comfortable with me. I've owned dogs since I was a kid and as soon as I turned 18 got one of my own and have cared for my dogs for the last 20 years. I currently have a schnoodle who's very sweet if you decide to board with me. I would separate him from your pet when I leave the house. I also have a two year old child and a six year old child but they are very gentle and love dogs. I am a stay at home mom so can take great care of your baby, giving frequent potty breaks and attention. I'm a stay at home mom so am home for a lot of the day. I can watch your dog every day of the week If I'm pet sitting at my home, I have a fenced in yard and can let your dog out every 2-4 hours. I could bring your dog on a walk every day around my neighborhood
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need training reinforcement to senior pets who require patience and gentle handling. As a veteran, I bring reliability, attention to detail, and calm leadership that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, supporting senior dogs with mobility challenges, and keeping up with energetic pups who need exercise and structure. What sets me apart is consistency—you can count on me to be on time, communicate clearly, and treat every pet like family. ** I have exclusive boarding rates available if you require no other dogs in the home! Ask about them :) happy to help! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days so I’m available for morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening care. I'm home constantly, which allows me to focus on the needs of each pet. Whether it’s regular daily walks, weekend sitting, or last-minute bookings, I ensure pets receive consistent attention and care when their families are unable to be there. Safety and trust come first in every home I step into. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to ensure pets stay safe. I provide plenty of positive attention, consistent communication with updates and photos, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure. My goal is to give every family peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own.
“Very friendly, clean and responds quickly to messages! I appreciate the pictures and video of my Pug playing in the yard with another little dog his size. Will definitely be using again if needed! Thank you so much for being there for us today!!”
“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our sweet Bleuy! We were in town for the USSSA Baseball World Series and ended up needing a last minute sitter for our Bleuy. She spent a fun day relaxing and had the best time with Stephanie. Would highly recommend Stephanie and would definitely utilize her again should we find ourselves back in the Pensacola area.”
“Sami was available last minute for me and it was great! Communication was wonderful. I received several updates on my dog as well as many adorable photos. I felt very safe with my dog in her care! Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and consistency. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play, and cuddle sessions to ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and cared for. I work from home, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel at home. I have a doggie door and a fenced in yard. I follow their routines closely, keep a secure space (no open doors or hazards), and give lots of love and attention. Their comfort and safety always come first.

“Jeily is a wonderful sitter! Not only did she take Grizzly on short notice, but she allowed him to stay a few extra hours do to unforeseen circumstances.

I will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pace
Chandler was great with communication from first contact to schedule until I picked Clyde up. The pictures he sent Clyde looked happy and seemed to be having a good time(especially when he got to go for a ride!). When I picked Clyde up he seemed like he had a good time. I will be booking with Chandler again and would recommend him to anyone.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Pace commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 315 sitters in Pace, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
