“Barbara was fantastic ! we would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. She was very accommodating and even provided video updates that reassured us our fur baby was in good hands.”
“Bob helped me, my husband, and our puppies through a difficult time in all of our lives. He was very friendly, kind, and compassionate, and reassuring, despite some miscommunication. I am grateful for how well he cared for my puppies and the positive impact he made on all of our lives. Thank you, Bob ?”
“I was pleased to read so many (all) reviews on Kathy so I chose her to watch my girl. Kathy and Roy were very welcoming. Instantly I felt at ease leaving my Zoe in their care. They had plenty of outdoor area for the dogs to run in their fenced yard. The pups go outside with supervision and have lots of space indoor to rest and play. I definitely recommend Kathy to sit for your furry ones.”
“Kimber was fantastic with our girls, Brooklyn and Aria! She was super also communicative - we love receiving videos of our girls! We would definitely recommend Kimber! Thank you for taking care of our girls!!!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs while we were on vacation. It was the first time we had ever left them behind, so naturally we were nervous. I didn’t want to overwhelm her by constantly checking in, but she reached out every day with updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked them up, the dogs were happy, clean, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with our dogs again!”
“Monica was so loving with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! She sent lots of photos and as very responsive to chat as well. She has a great set up with a fenced backyard. I would highly recommend her!”
“Kathy had great communication from the beginning. We set up a meet & greet ahead of time. Alula had the opportunity to interact with Kathy’s pets. After dropping Alula off we got regular photos & updates. I would leave Alula with Kathy again.”
“Maria watched my puppy, it was the first time I left him and first time he ever stayed with anyone else. She did amazing! Kept me up to date even though my responses were limited due to cell service. She made him feel at home and I knew he was well watched over. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“James took very good care of my Nellie Mae. He was very good with her and she would kiss him and nap on his lap. These are the things she does with her mom. He played toys with her as well. I highly recommend James to anyone who needs a dog sitter. A big thank you James.”
“Hi Randal! Thank you so much for the loving care you show Franki when he is at your home!! We never have to worry when we are away because we know how well he is being taken care of!!! And Franki does love spending time with you!! We will definitely call you again!! Wishing you and your wife a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas….which you are certainly ready for!!!!

“Great communication for the two days boarding. Appreciate how attentive service it was. My dog was happy, well cared and feels safe socializing with other dogs. Thanks”
“We highly recommend Robin as she is professional and trust worthy in all aspects. We arraigned a in home meet and greet prior to our pets stay and we all connected very well. She accepts only one client at a time and her property was clean and perfect for our pet. While we were away, Robin took the initiative of staying in touch with us daily by sending us pictures of our pet. We are pleased to know we found such a trustworthy person in our area for all our dog sitting needs.”
“I cannot say anything but high praise for my senior dog Chloe Nikita was wonderful and did everything which we discussed Chloe at night sometimes has accidents so just in case I put a diaper on her after her last walk Nikita sent me updates pics and videos which I thought was wonderful and thoughtful They don’t have pets themselves so of course Chloe got undivided attentionThey have two small girls that love Chloe’s company and I’m sure Chloe got spoiled I will definitely use them again”
About: We are retired and would love to welcome your dog into our home for daytime, evening, or overnight care. We offer a comfortable, cage-free environment, unless you prefer that your dog be crated. We only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup will receive lots of individual attention and won’t be overwhelmed by a house full of unfamiliar dogs. We live in a home on the Port Charlotte/Englewood border and have a sweet little dog named GiGi who loves having a furry friend to play with. GiGi is definitely spoiled! She normally sleeps with us, and while staying here, your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he or she feels most comfortable. We want your pup to feel at home—and you can be sure they’ll get plenty of love and attention from us, too. We had our beloved Maltese, Bella, for 13 wonderful years, so we are very comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. We know how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pet. Our goal is to give your dog a safe, relaxed, loving home-away-from-home where they’re treated like part of the family until you return. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾💕 We are happily married and retired, living in East Englewood, which gives us plenty of time to provide your dog with lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. We have one miniature Cockapoo named GiGi, who is friendly and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Since we’re retired, we have a very flexible schedule and are available for daytime, evening, and overnight care. Your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. 🐾💕 We have always been dog lovers and have had dogs in our home throughout our lives. To us, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re part of the family, bringing so much love, companionship, and comfort into our lives. We only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup will receive plenty of individual attention in a calm, comfortable home environment. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, secure, and loved while they’re with us. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog will be treated just like one of our own—and very well loved! 🐾💕
“Deinys and Lauren seem very comfortable around dogs. Tilly took to Deinys right away when we dropped her off. We were able to use their large crate (same size as we use at home) and just bring Tilly's bed insert. This saved us a lot of trouble and made it very easy for Tilly to go to sleep at night, and when they had to leave the house. Their home was convenient to the place we were visiting and so we'll think of booking them again in the future. Thank you.”
“What a wonderful stay Charlee had with Cherolyn. She spoiled him and took amazing care of him I never worried the second I left him with her for two weeks! Cherolyn is a one of a kind person and we are greatful to have found her on Rover. Thank You Again for everything.”
“My pup’s tail wagged with excitement when she recognized she was at Lana’s! Knowing that she was getting lots of snuggles and in a safe and comfortable home while we were away made leaving her for seven days a whole lots easier. She loves having the company of other dogs too! Ty”

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.
97% of sitters in Placida 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 Placida 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 Placida.
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 Placida. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Placida 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.
