“I can’t thank them enough for the great care and love our dogs received!! Just the home atmosphere I was looking for! I am sure my dogs enjoyed their vacation as much as I did ours!! My mind was at ease because they are dog people! Knowledgeable, attentive and so kind to my senior dogs. Calvin and Cleo thought they found a new home 😁 I will book them every time! Thank you!!!”
“Excellent host! Took great care of our two dogs and provided updates and pictures multiple times through their 4 day stay! Would definitely take our dogs to them again they treated them like their own!”
“This was our second stay with Ms Annette. My silky mix Paisley is 17 years old, blind, and has doggy dementia. She is a special needs dog and requires specialized care. Paisley adjusts easily to her home and is always well cared for by Ms Annette. Highly recommended pet caregiver with a caring, loving, super clean home.”
“I highly recommend Jay to anyone who needs to leave their best friend in caring hands for a few days or weeks. Jay is truly passionate about his love for all dog breeds. He has over 20 years of experience training and boarding dogs and has a very large facility where your dog can play and rest. My dog has bonded with Jay and looks forward to every visit. Jay is a true dog whisperer.”
“We needed a new Sitter for our sassy girl but we are super picky! Krystal checked all of the boxes for us and Willow was right at home with her family. The home is clean and bright and the fenced yard is a plus for our frisbee-loving girl. Willow came home very happy and we will be 100% be booking again. Thank you so much!!”
“I am very happy about leaving my dog with Patricia. Lola was very happy and well cared for. I will choose Patricia again next time I have to leave Lola. I was updated every day with photos or videos of Lola.”
“Luz is a Guardian Angel of dogs and people. She rescued me in my time of need. She accommodated us at the spur of the moment when I fell and hurt my knee. Luz not only accommodated us at the last minute so I could go to the ER, but she also came out to the car and got our pup so I wouldn’t have to get out of the car. She is so loving and our pup was happy to see her and sad to leave her. Thank you Luz!”
“Estefany es una cuidadora excepcional. Se tomó el tiempo de enviarme fotos todos los días: de la caminata de la mañana, de mi perro comiendo, descansando y paseando en la tarde. Eso me impresionó tanto que sin duda volveré a dejar a mi perrito con ella, porque sé que lo cuida con amor y dedicación. Mientras yo estaba de crucero me sentí tranquilo, tan agradecido que incluso le traje un recuerdo de Bahamas como muestra de mi gratitud. Lo más increíble fue ver la conexión que tuvo con mi perro: al despedirse, ella lo abrazó y él bajó la cabeza con tristeza, como si no quisiera separarse de ella. En ese momento dije: “¡Dios mío, esto es increíble!”. Gracias Estefany, eres la mejor cuidadora del mundo. 🌟🐾 Estefany is an exceptional pet sitter. She took the time to send me daily photos: morning walks, my dog eating, resting, and enjoying his afternoon walk. That impressed me so much that I will definitely trust her with my pup again, knowing he is cared for with love and dedication. While I was on a cruise, I felt completely at ease—so grateful that I even brought her a souvenir from the Bahamas as a thank you. The most incredible part was seeing the bond she created with my dog: when she hugged him goodbye, he lowered his head with sadness, as if he didn’t want to leave her. In that moment I thought, “Oh my God, this is amazing!” Thank you, Estefany, you are the best sitter in the whole world. 🌟🐾”
“We could not thank Daniela enough for taking care of our Pepper for just a couple of days. We will be on a longer trip and have already booked with Daniela to board our Pepper. We find her to be responsive and responsible. We highly recommend her. 🙏🏼🙏🏼”
“Rosie had the best weekend with Brittanie and her family! She was loved and cared for like she was their own. Brittanie sent pictures every day to show me how much fun Rosie was having and communicated with me with how she was doing. I felt so comfortable having Rosie with her and knew she would get lots of attention and cuddles. I am already booking another stay. 100% would recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their fur baby.”
“I 100% recommend Ana. I will definitely book again with her. She kept us informed of how Giddy was doing and sent us pictures and videos of him. He was very loved on his boarding with Ana. I could see he had a great time with his 2 new furry friends which loved to play with him. They are a very welcoming family. If you want a place where they love and take good care of your pet as much as you, you should book with Ana. ❤️”
“The best sitter ever!! My Boxer and Cane Corso love Bety and her family. Sandie and Hunter enjoy the space and freedom in the house, back yard, and playtime with Bety's family. Just tell Bety what your precious pet's needs and special instructions are. She will make it happen.”
“First time using Rover. I had a great experience. Angelica Was amazing and nice. Kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. She took care of my pup and kept all of this daily routines. We picked them up and he was very happy and clean.”
“Katie is the absolute best!!! She kept my two chihuahuas over the last two years until I made the move to SC. My two pups made friends with her pets, including her cat. They would leave my car once we arrive and not even look back at me to tell me bye. But that's ok, that's why I never worried when she kept them. She always sent me pics and videos too!”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“Thank you for a great visit with my 3 dogs. They might not have enjoyed us being gone because they have never stayed away from us but you accommodated with such compassion. 10 stars !”
“My dog Sam had such a great stay with Joanne. He is normally very nervous about meeting new people, but he took to Joanne right away, and he loved playing with her dog Juno. Joanne has a nice big back yard that is fenced, so Sammy got lots of outdoor time (which he loves). She kept me up to date each day on how he was doing by sending photos. I definitely plan to use Joanne again in the future, and I recommend her highly as a sitter.”
“Angel is amazing. He took great care of our 3 dogs and had great communication. He sent us pictures throughout the day to let us know that they were doing great. I highly recommend Angel!”

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 Polk City 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 Polk City 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 Polk City.
<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 Polk City 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.
