About: Animals have been part of my life since the day I was born. I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, and birds, and I’ve owned and cared for dogs ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Rottweilers. Throughout the years I’ve attended basic obedience training with my own dogs, cared for puppies, adults, and senior pets, administered medications when needed, and provided gentle, patient care through illness and recovery, including nursing a Labrador through heartworm treatment. I’ve even helped deliver a litter of kittens. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I treat each one with the same patience, kindness, and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work remotely from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My evenings and weekends are also available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines and will follow your instructions carefully so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and share my home with three small, friendly dogs who are part of my family. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals from puppies to senior pets, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing training and routines, and providing regular photo updates so you’ll always know your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I can accommodate pets who prefer their own space and will always prioritize safe introductions based on each dog’s temperament.
About: I started pet sitting around my neighborhood when I was 11-12 I really loved it and so did the dogs I pet sit. They would get so excited to see me it always put a smile on my face. I have a very caring/nurturing personality so pet sitting comes naturally to me. So if your looking for someone to keep your fur babies happy and safe book with me! I’m always happy to help!😊 I’m urgently looking for a new job that I can depend on full time. I’m available anytime Monday-Friday. boarding/daytime care anything you need I’m here! I live in a very pet friendly apartment. I love going outside so If your pet loves walks they would be great with me. Pets are allowed on the furniture in my apartment I have no issues with that. I’m also a very clean person and like to keep everything tidy. There is 2 doors in my apartment so your pet will NOT be able to get out or lost, and I keep those doors locked. My pets are my babies so I know it can be hard to leave them with someone you don’t know. When they are with me I guarantee. I will keep them happy and SAFE. Your pet is my priority! I’m also a very friendly and easy person to get to know, and would be more then happy to help care for your fur babies!! 😊😊
“We were very pleased with Susan's care of Kika. We received daily photos and updates, and we could tell Kika was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Our next trip is coming up and Susan is our choice for Kika!”
“I have never left my dogs with a dog sitter before (only family members) so I was anxious using Rover. If you need a caring, clean home for your pet book Janel because she is wonderful. She sent daily updates with photos showing the dogs were doing just fine (I think they were smiling). 😁 She has a big fenced in yard and her dog Sam was so good with my dogs. I will definitely use her again. Also using the Rover app was easy and user friendly.”
“I was happy to intrust Carly with my pup. She was communicative and sent pics of my puppy everyday. She did an amazing job and I can tell she loves fur babies. Thank you Carly for taking care of Sadie!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Enjoy their company. My dogs have all lived into adulthood and passed of old age. They were my whole world. Miss them dearly I am retired and live alone with no animals at the moment. I have a lot of time to care for any pet at all times of the day. I reside in an apartment with no animals at the moment. I can take your pet out on walks if and when needed. I have always been a dog lover.
“Michelle was great with Nova! Second time using her and she made sure to take great care of her while I was on a cruise. She even gave her a little Christmas gift to take home!”
“Lauren is awesome and knows how to take care of dogs. She took care of our buddy for two nights while we were away. She’s a police officer and trains K-9 unit dogs for Osceola County. Would definitely recommend.”
“We LOVE having Jessica as a pet sitter for our dog! We have used her multiple times now and she is caring and attentive to our dog with high anxiety. Jessica always provided updates and pictures, and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“I have never left our dogs with anyone other than family. My pugs were well cared for during their stay and Nytza was very responsive and caring, sending some pics and letting me know they were alright. Appreciate the into and will definitely ask for her assistance in the future! Thank you, Nytza!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. Growing up with them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand their unique needs and personalities. I have two dogs of my own, so I know the care, attention, and love they need every day. From walks to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and truly loved. 🐾 My schedule is currently open, allowing me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I accept boarding during the weekdays, and weekend boarding can be arranged upon discussion due to having pets of my own. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s normal schedule. Whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication, I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. 🐾
“Thomas and his wife opened their home with open arms to my dog Melody. Melody has lots of anxiety but they were more than willing to make Melody feel as comfortable as she could while she stayed for the weekend. I was very pleased that they took the time to "meet and greet" Melody and Myself prior to her stay. It made me feel more comfortable leaving Melody for the weekend and they were able to observe Melody and anticipate any issues that might be of concern. I would recommend them to watch your fur baby. I was very pleased with how well Melody was cared for. I liked that they sent me a picture of Melody during her stay. It was a nice gesture and warmed my heart.”
“Paul is a unicorn! There are not enough stars that can be left to recognize his effort. He took in Lexie at the last minute and the care she received was top notch. We are visitors in the area and will always contact Paul first when we are here.”

I want to sincerely thank her for the excellent care she gave to my dog Deuce. She was always attentive, communicative, and patiently answered all of my questions. She also kept me updated at all times with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her 100% for the care, dedication, and love she puts into her work. We look forward to booking with you in the future.
Gretchen is an amazing sitter! This was our first time boarding Molly with her, and she immediately made us feel at ease. She has a beautiful home and a very clean, welcoming setup for the pups. Molly came home happy and well cared for, and Gretchen kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout her stay. We couldn’t be happier to have found Gretchen and her sweet family to care for Molly. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave her and would absolutely recommend Gretchen to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy sitter!
Everything went great! My dog stayed for 3 days and was so happy. Communication was great, and I loved getting pictures of him enjoying his time with the other dogs. He looked very comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend them and book with them again! 🐶❤️
Brandi is a genuinely caring and attentive pet-sitter! She accepted our pittie as a client, (most pet sitters won’t), and followed all my instructions to the letter. She communicated and sent pics throughout their time together. She gave Molly extra attention when she was anxious during thunderstorms. We feel confident in Brandi, as she works as veterinarian tech. But it’s really her kindness that won us over! We will definitely use her again!
Adam and Katie were absolutely wonderful dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with, responded promptly, and sent plenty of photo updates throughout the stay so I knew my dog was in great hands. I would book with them again in a heartbeat and encourage others to do the same.
Brittani is great! She really cares about the well being of your pet and she shares pictures and communicates professionally throughout the entire time. Overall positive experience and I felt more than comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would highly recommend, especially if you want someone who cares!
what could be more important than who takes care of your dogs? Bailey is a wonderfully caring, loving, responsible, responsive professional who took excellent care of my two dogs. She is a pleasure to work with and I will be back again and again - Bailey is the best!
We could not do a meet and greet in advance because we are not local. We had some back and forth conversation to give both of us peace of mind that this was a good fit. I can confirm it was a great fit. Theresa appeared to be attentive to my 3 doodle mixes. She sent frequent pictures and communications. I could tell through the photos that my fur babies felt safe (i.e. sleeping on back). I would absolutely love my fur babies to visit again next time we are in the area.

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 .
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.

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.
