“Lola had a great stay at Christina's house. This is what Lola had to say. "Christina took me for walks, gave me belly rubs, and truly made me feel very comfortable in her home. I had fun with the other dogs, chasing lizards, and keeping cool. Christina sent my dad some pictures of me during her visit and updated him on how things were going. Thank you very much, Christina. I look forward to spending the day with you again"”
“My girl came home Happy and tired and took a nice long nap which tells me she had a lot of active fun. Thank you so much for giving her a good day and for sending me the pictures and video.”

About: Hi! We are Joe and Kayla, dog lovers with years of experience caring for pups of all breeds and sizes. From walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles, and administering medications, we will make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a home with someone who is always there, we are able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day! We offer regular potty breaks, playtime, and can adjust to your dog’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. We can also provide updates, photos, or videos during the day so you can see how much fun they’re having! Our home is a safe and welcoming space for your furry friend! There is a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely, and we provide crates for rest or quiet time. We live with two friendly, social dogs who love making new friends, and our kids are gentle and dog-loving.
About: I worked as a veterinary assistant in a fear free clinic for 3 years. I have had and been around animals my entire life. I have no problem giving meds or catering to your fur babies specific needs. My boyfriend Devin also sits with me so your pet rarely be left alone. I currently work as a restaurant manager so I am gone for about 6 to 8 hours a day in weekends. I have a pet camera that I can keep on all day while I'm not here. I also have a neighbor that lives across the street that has come to do walks if I have a long shift or something. Until recently I had a senior pit mix,and currently have a DMH cat that is about 13 years old and a DSH cat that is about 2 years old. My animals are my children and I will treat your animals as if they were my own. I can and will (if allowed) take pictures too!

About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I learn their quirks, stick to their exact routine, and keep you updated with photos so you’re never left wondering. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, you come home to a calm, happy pup who had a great day. As a cat owner, I fit care into my day in small, easy chunks. My mornings are 10-15 minutes to feed, refresh water, and scoop the litter while my coffee brews. Evenings take about 15-20 minutes for dinner, a second scoop, and playtime — my cat is most active at dusk, so a quick wand-toy session helps her settle for the night. Weekly tasks like deep-cleaning the box or brushing take me 30 minutes total. Once I tied it to habits I already had, it became routine and keeps my cat calm and happy. I care for my pets by keeping their routine simple and consistent. Mornings are food, fresh water, and quick clean-up. Evenings are dinner, play or walks, and checking that everyone’s settled. I stick to their schedules, handle meds when needed, and stay on top of vet care so they stay healthy and happy.
“As someone knew to the city and state with a new puppy to boot along with another dog, I was nervous about last minute accommodations. I have found a second home for my Gertie! Coming from an apartment environment, she has a whole yard to run and play in and the hosts are exceptionally great and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them to anyone. If there are more stars, I would give them to them. I am looking no more for anyone else. Trust me you will be happy and so will your babies.”

“Norma is an amazing dog sitter, very organized and interested in her clients’ pets. She kept me posted with photos of my dog’s activities throughout the entire time she had him. I highly recommend her, thank you, Norma!”

“Thank you for accommodating our last-minute daycare request. Jason took great care of our dog and made the whole process easy and stress-free. He is flexible, responsive, and genuinely kind. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with him and would definitely book again.”

“Layla spent her days with a 3 year old to play with and was spoiled rotten. She looked so happy in the pictures I was sent so I didn't have to worry about Layla while at work!”

“Heather was able to watch my two dogs at last minute's notice! I am boarding them for 10 days in May, so this was a good trial to see how everything went. They seemed quite happy to be with Heather and the afternoon was a success! Thank you so much Heather!”

“I cannot say enough positive! My first time being away from my 14 w.o. rescue, and I was super-worried. :( Athena and Ritchie were kind enough to meet me ahead of time and answered my MANY questions! Throughout the day, they sent a ton of pics putting my mind at ease to know my form was having fun playing with the other dogs. They were prompt to answer any questions I had during the day as well. Thank you, both, so very much! Penelope had a great day, and I’m sure is looking forward to her stay in October already 🐶 ♥️!”

“We loved having Olga watch our puppy, Penelope. Penelope is highly energetic and Olga had no issue matching her energy. We had a last minute engagement and Olga was there for us at 9pm the night before. It was amazing.”

“Noemi is great. She takes such good care of Mako, sends great updates throughout the day. Also takes the best photos! 🙂 Mako loves Noemi - he runs to the door every time I drop him off for daycare.”

“Jennah took amazing care of my sweet boy. She communicated with updates and pictures throughout the day. I could tell his day was full of exploring, sniffing, snuggles, and napping ?. All the things absolutely he loves to do! Overall experience 10/10! ?”


“Jennifer has been great since the first entail meet and great that she was so kind to setup for us. She not only sent a few photo updates , but let us know how things were going especially since this was the first time leaving our dog with her. As soon as we picked up Oscar you could see how happy he was. Glad we found Jennifer ! We are already booking with her again. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I have over 40 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I will treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I work from home so they will not be alone for more than 2-3 hours. Frequent potty breaks and play time in the fenced backyard. Naps on the sofa or any of the dog beds around the house. I know how hard it is to find someone you trust. I have been a resident of Dunedin for 20 years at the same house. I am an active foster parent for Humane Society of Pinellas and will take wonderful care of your pets. Your pets will get 24/7 attention from me. I will follow your schedule for feeding, walks and playtime. I can care for your dogs, cats or furry friends. I have a secure, fenced yard. I keep a gate at the front door to provide additional security. I can also crate them if preferred. Please make sure to provide proof of updated vaccines
“Nancy took fantastic care of my sweet boy. She asked questions and made sure she had all the information she needed to give the best care. Loved the pictures she captured during his stay as well.”

Prelude dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are so grateful to have found Marquita! Her welcoming and detailed profile initially drew us to her, and she exceeded all of our expectations. She was incredibly kind and patient with our dog’s timid nature, making Ozzy feel safe and comfortable right away. Marquita's kids are the sweetest and so clearly raised with a love and understanding of animals. I loved receiving her photo updates throughout the visit, and her flexibility made drop-off and pick-up completely stress-free. Ozzy came home happy and relaxed. Everything about Marquita and her home environment made any anxiety about leaving our boy disappear. I am super thankful we were lucky enough to connect with Marquita and I highly recommend booking with her!

5 stars! We had an absolutely amazing experience with Olga. She kept us updated throughout the day, and we truly appreciated her clear, thoughtful communication. Our pup was so well cared for and came home very happy. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

I was on vacation from Massachusetts and needed to find a loving home setting for my dog, Joy, while I took a few vacation days. I loved dropping my dog off at Sydney’s house. She has two dalmatians and the videos and pictures that she sent me throughout the day showed me that everyone was getting along and my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend. Sydney to care for your dog!! Lyn

We are SO pleased with Ashleigh and her set up. We have a 70lb puppy who wants to play, run, and cuddle. Check, check and check! Have received many pictures of play/running, and even rest time inside: lying down next to another dog (!). Ashleigh is very genuine and her cheerful and warm attutude with us as owners and with all the dogs is super reassuring, and the pictures prove that our pup is having a playful and balanced time. Ashleigh also helped me navigate the Rover app. MUCH appreciated.
