“I would give 10 stars if I could, Katherine and her family were incredible! I feel like we booked our dog for a 5 star resort, she got lots of walks, lots of love and we were kept in the loop the whole time which let us enjoy our vacation even more knowing she was in excellent hands! Would highly highly recommend!”
“I was so pleased with the care shown to my pittie baby. He was given all the attention and love I hoped for while I was gone. I would recommend Shailananishie, and thank her so much for looking after him.”
“Bandit had a great time with Iliana and her family. He loved playing with them and we got lots of pictures and videos with daily updates. I felt like he was well cared for and safe. Would highly recommend!”
“Ania was amazing watching our pup, Tater, over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was so flexible with meet and greet schedules, pick-up and drop-off and quickly eased our anxieties about finding a sitter. She provided so many cute photos and thorough updates every day and made us feel like Tater was part of her family. She treated him like one of her own pets and spoiled him with the cuddles and attention he demands lol. Tater got along well with her two small dogs and her home is so cozy - so many spots for Tater to snuggle up and nap. Do not hesitate to book with Ania if you need a dog sitter!”
“All interactions were professional and punctual. Very accommodating to my schedule. Kept me informed daily with pictures. I also valued my dogs exposure to his dog and other dogs to strengthen his social skills. Highly recommend!”
“Yaima was wonderfully taking care of our pups. They were so happy and worn out from such a fun weekend with her family. She was very responsive and flexible. Hey dog Stella is a sweetheart and made for such a good companion to our boys. Definitely using her in the future!”
“Donna was wonderful again! She treats penny like one of her own. She sends updated and makes sure she is happy and comfortable. We love having Donna to care for our Penny when we go out of town. I highly, highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was great with our dog and provided us with pictures and updates. Our dog follows a strict diet and take medications- these were not an issue for Nicole. We felt comfortable leaving our baby with her and plan to use her for future stays.”
“Absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet with her a day prior and she took care of our Lucy! She sent pictures and she looked like she felt right at home! Will definitely use her again!”
“Makenzi was great! They took great care of my pup. Mila is an anxious girl and they were very patient with her getting settled in. Very easy to get a hold of and sent me pictures every day ?”
“ms. karél was nothing less of amazing! she made sure my miso was walked every day, fed twice a day, and out of the florida heat! she even washed him without me asking 🥹 i will definitely be booking with her to board in the very near future as well as doggie daycare playdates !”
“Eileen and her partner were great! She was very sweet and patient with my rather anxious dog. It always takes him a long while to warm up, but it sounded like he warmed up pretty quick to them. He also ate his a lot of his food, which is unusual because usually he’ll go on a starvation diet. He obviously felt very comfortable and well taken care of. She was so kind to send me so many updates and pictures on how he was doing. I will definitely ask Eileen to watch him again.”
“Natali and KJ were absolutely wonderful with our girl, Penny! This was our first time leaving her with anyone other than family, and they made sure she was loved and cared for as if she were their own. You can tell they are true dog lovers! They had everything Penny could possibly need and made sure she had plenty of fun and adventures along the way. The daily updates and sweetest pictures gave us peace of mind and showed us she was having the time of her life. We truly can’t recommend Natali and KJ enough!”
“Cece took THE BEST care of our girls; we got “part of the family” treatment!!! She sent photos daily and was so gracious to work with us on pickup when our flight was delayed. I can’t wait to leave the girls with her again later this summer!!!”
“Maxine consistently provides the highest level of personalized quality care for my dog. She will always be my first choice for boarding, if she is available.”
“We absolutely love Jenna and so does our beloved pup! We never feel anxious leaving her there because we know she's in good hands and our dog always has a wonderful time. She's a great communicator and always sends pictures and updates while we're away, which is very reassuring.”
“Nelly was a wonderful sitter for my Luna. As soon as we arrive at her home, I knew it was the right choice. Because Luna went to her and proceeded to follow her around. Nelly kept me updated with pictures and notes. Thank you, Nelly for taking such good care of my Luna. I highly recommend Nelly.”
“Beyond excellent. Cash loved his stay and Matt was fantastic about communicating with us and sending pictures. Cash will be staying with Matt again and again!!”

This was Zoey’s second stay with Isabel, and she took such wonderful care of her for the seven days I was away! She sent multiple updates throughout each day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. I’m so appreciative of the love and attention she gives her. Highly recommend!
Malik was incredibly kind and comforting to both my Koko and me. This was our first time doing boarding, and being apart wasn’t easy. Koko is only one year old. We met two days beforehand so, Koko could get familiar with him. Malik made sure he felt safe from the very beginning. He took wonderful care of my boy and kept me updated with messages and photos. Even checked in about how to soothe Koko during a thunderstorm. His communication and genuine care meant so much to me. Leaving your puppy with someone is never simple, but Malik is more than a sitter—he’s someone you can trust and I highly recommend him. Thank you!
Katie was incredible, very responsive and made sure to make accommodations for our sometimes nervous dog. I was happy we could enjoy our family vacation we were on because we felt very comfortable with the love and care he was getting. Bao fell in love with her too and was sad to say goodbye.
Andre was fantastic! I had to book him on very short notice, and he made the entire process easy and stress-free. He kept in consistent communication throughout Caesar’s stay, sending regular updates and plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. Caesar looked like he had a great time and was clearly well cared for. I could tell he received lots of attention and was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Andre again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

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 River-Clair Mel 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 River-Clair Mel 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 River-Clair Mel.
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.

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 River-Clair Mel 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.
