“I left my senior dog with Rick and his family while I went out of town for a week, and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of her! Rick regularly checked in and sent pictures, and I had piece of mind knowing my girl got plenty of attention while I was away. She had the best time!”

About: I have had my dog since I was young. We did everything together! My dog was crate trained, learned specific tricks, potty trained. So, I can definitely provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, special routines, and medication. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! 🐾 I currently work FT. But I can take care of your pup after 5pm on weekdays. I am free most weekends! I do occasionally pick up shifts with my home health nursing company. Your little fur baby will be in a loving home! I have 2 kids. They are both less than 6 years of age. We do have a dog walk area at our apartment complex. Everything is clean and well taken care of.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our fur child, Cooper! 🤩 She sent daily updates and photos, and it was obvious he had the time of his life. He made fast friends with her dog, Olive, and loved running around in their big backyard. Jennifer far exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be using her again!

Jenny was wonderful - I needed to find someone last minute so my husband and I could travel back home. Jenny did a meet and greet with us and made us feel super comfortable with leaving Molly with her. Molly had the best time! Jenny sent lots of updates and pictures of her playing, going on walks, and hanging out in the house. I highly recommend Jenny and will not hesitate to have Molly stay with her again in the future. Thank you so much!
Patrick is great! We have booked many vacations based on HIS availability to watch our Cane Corso Boa. Our big boy is reactive, but Patrick has such a calm presence, and Boa can just chill. We have nicknamed him “uncle Patrick.” We get pictures of Boa every day, which helps us know he is happy. I will call Patrick EVERY time we need a sitter. I hope my review doesn’t make you book him up though.
Lisa is fantastic!! The hardest part about vacation is leaving our dogs. Lisa is so wonderful. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that they were being loved, cared for and walked every day. She sent us regular updates and pics throughout our trip. We came back to two very happy and relaxed dogs. They even missed her when they got back to our house. 10/10 would recommend Lisa and we will absolutely be working with her again!
We love Mary and Nolan and even more after this stay! Unfortunately one of our pups suffered an unexpected medical emergency while we were away. Without hesitation, Mary and Nolan jumped into action and took our pup to our emergency vet and sat with her for and an extended period of time making sure she was loved and cared for. Because of them our pup was never alone and is still with us today!! I can’t recommend them enough. They will go above and beyond to care for your pups! We would give them 10 stars if we could!
Izzy is amazing. I knew the moment I met her she would be perfect for my Clarkie. He loved staying with her and was excited to play with new friends. We will definitely use Izzy again. Highly responsible and so loving. Thanks, Izzy for making Clarkies stay fun and giving me peace of mind when leaving him. ❤️

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Palm Harbor 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 Palm Harbor 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 Palm Harbor.
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 Palm Harbor. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Palm Harbor 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.
