“I’m can’t say enough about how pleased we are with the care David provided for our girls. David provided continuous communication on how Daisy and Phoebe were doing, their eating habits, behavior, etc. and sent several pictures of our girls so we could see how they were. If you’re looking for someone to care for your furry family members, he’s a wonderful choice.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Damaris took care of Sherman last week and we are beyond grateful for her excellent work. From the very beginning, she showed kindness, responsibility, and dedication. Sherman was happy, well cared for, and we felt at ease thanks to her updates and attention to detail. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and that makes all the difference. We highly recommend her and will definitely trust her again in the future!”
“Daniel has watched our dog several times now and has been terrific with her. I can tell when we drop her off that Izzy is always happy to see Daniel and does not shy away from him, as though she were afraid or uncomfortable in any way, which are signs that I watch for when boarding my dog. Daniel has always been helpful, has always responded quickly when texting him and even though we could probably find someone closer to us, we prefer to have Daniel watch Izzy.”
About: My lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals of many kinds. I bred our family poodle, assisted during the birth of her puppies, helped raise them, and placed them in loving homes with family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for guinea pigs, fish, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs of many breeds and sizes. I’ve even rescued baby birds and provided around-the-clock care until they were healthy enough to be released back into the wild. I’ve also helped several family members teach their dogs important skills, including potty training and coming when called. I had a dog by my side for most of my life until my beloved fur baby recently passed away. While I’m not ready to adopt another pet, I would love to responsibly fill that space in my heart by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care to other people’s pets. I currently work at my part-time job two days a week. Outside of that schedule, I’m very flexible and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet parent’s needs. I’m always happy to have a conversation about your pet's specific routine and schedule so we can create a care plan that works well for everyone. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which means your pet will be my priority and receive plenty of individual attention. Although I do not have a fenced-in backyard, dogs will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, and there is also have a dog park in my neighborhood that can be used with your permission. For cats, I can provide litter boxes and a peaceful environment where they can settle in comfortably. My home is clean, organized, and pet-proofed. I do not have children in the home, and potentially unsafe items are kept neatly put away. Pets are welcome on my furniture because I believe they are family—while they’re staying with me, my home is their home.

About: Passionate about the well-being of furry friends, I am a dedicated pet walker and sitter with a profound love for animals. With a background in animal care and a natural affinity for four-legged companions, I ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for pets under my watch. i’m currently working part time from home so i’m available almost everyday after 10am for walks/drop in’s. Please schedule Pet sitting/House sitting (in customers home) at least two days in advance. Pet sitting in my own home is for cats/small dogs only. please schedule 5 days in advance. for dogs I will try for as much outside time as they allow, and I have an unfenced yard for midnight potty breaks, for cats I have lots of furniture to hide and play in. Any animal in my home will be treated like family.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Placid Lakes
We had a wonderful experience with Wayne. He took such great care of Macy. He kept us updated throughout the stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. This is our second time and We will definitely use them again. I like when Macy interact with Blair. They seem to get along well and is good learning experience for Macy.
Sophie had the best care and the best time with Wayne and his family. She loved playing with Blaire. This was her first overnight, and our first time using Rover. Thanks for taking such good care of our baby. I highly recommend Wayne to care for your dog. He will treat your pup, like his own. Thank you! We will definitely use his service again, and again.
Sophie loves to stay with Wayne, Blair and Family. They are so loving and kind to her. I receive numerous pictures and updates daily. If you need someone to trust your fur baby with. I highly recommend using Wayne. Sophie has stayed with him numerous times and she is always happy and wagging her tail when we drop her off. Thanks for taking great care of our sweet Sophie😘
It was so nice to meet Dave. First time user of this sight and was put right at ease with how comforting Dave made my shih tzu feel at home in his home. Dave sent photos throughout the day which also helped me know he was being attentive and loving to my boy. I feel they made a bond that now I can work with and know my Cody will not only be comfortable...but happy beside his new friend Dave when I am not around. I will be calling on him again and would recommend him to anyone who is hesitant to use a "stranger" to watch their precious loved one. In moments, with the manner that Dave conducts himself, they will be fast friends.
David was absolutely incredible with our Mickey. First time ever using him and would highly recommend. So unbelievably accommodating and kind. Lots of pictures sent making out time away much easier knowing how well she was being provided for. Will be using hopefully only David from here on out!!!

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.
93% of sitters in Placid Lakes 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 Placid Lakes 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 Placid Lakes.
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.

You and your Placid Lakes 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.
