Wouldn't recommend anyone more amazing sitter for anyone boarding their fur babies for the first time ❤️”

About: I have had pets my entire life and truly love caring for animals. I treat every pet with love, patience, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior pets and providing the extra attention and gentle care they may need. During the school year, I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Saturdays are flexible until 7:00 PM, and Sundays are available for special occasions or short-term care when needed. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, with wider availability. I also offer boarding in my home for one medium dog or up to two small dogs, depending on availability. My home has a fully fenced, spacious yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and relax. I spend most of my time at home, so pets are not left alone for long periods and receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Boarding dogs must be house-trained, spayed/neutered, and friendly with other dogs. Spanish is spoken in our home. Your pet will be welcomed and cared for like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, and respect. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Saturdays are flexible until 8:30 PM. Sundays are available for special occasions or short-term care when needed. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, with wider availability throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of space to play. Pets are supervised, treated like family, and receive lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks.

She will have your baby have a lot of fun and be busy so they don’t miss you while you are gone! Don’t look any further! Carolina is the best!”

My dog Loki can be very timid at first in new environments, but with time was able to open up within Stephanie’s home. She makes sure to send daily photos, updates, and also will take your dog for daily walks. I felt extremely comfortable having Loki there, and would book again in the future!”

Katherine was an absolute gem for our dog Max! Throughout his entire stay, she kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which made a world of difference. Knowing he was eating well and seeing him happy in the pictures gave us so much peace of mind we could actually enjoy our time away without worrying. You could tell from every photo that he was having the time of his life! 😄 We truly appreciate how caring and attentive Katherine was with our boy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative pet sitter. Thank you, Katherine, for taking such great care of Max 🐾 for the 2nd time.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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 .

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.
