“Aaron was so wonderful with our dog. He was very expeditious with all my questions prior to booking and his replies were always kind a polite. Our dog was well cared for and we had nothing to worry about. We hope to use Aaron again in the future.”
“Aurora was exceptional. She took great care of my Xena and played with her in the yard. I recommend using this sitter, and I’m grateful she was available for us on short notice.”
“Anne is just down right amazing. Over and above for the love of doggies and doggie owners alike! Thank you Anne for being a blessing to us as we brought our first baby boy home!”
About: I love dogs but want the flexibility to travel, so I thought I’d watch other people’s dogs to get my fill! Your babies will get lots if love here! I had a dog for 13 years and recently fostered a couple of dogs. I also have a cat, but she’ll mostly just hide if I’m watching a dog here. I have a fenced in yard and have given pills to dogs before. Your babies will be in good hands. I work full-time, but not the typical 8-5. I typically leave home around 10:30 and get back around 4, Mon-Thur. your fur baby will get lots of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have dog crates here already, and some toys! My cat will be hiding, so your baby will get lots of love!
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Kinsey and her family are awesome! They treated Oreo like their own, he received the best care while we were gone. She provided updates and sent pictures. I highly recommend her and I definitely will book her again in the future.”
“Shiloh was great! We went away for 6 days and she took excellent care of our girl. She messaged me each day with a picture and gave me updates. I'll definitely be asking her to watch our dog again!”
“Cathryn was amazing! She was very communicative, sent pictures all week, and updated us frequently. We would totally recommend her and plan on booking with her again the future.”

About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was very young and have worked with animals requiring special care, including administering medications. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member, so I always provide frequent updates to keep you connected and reassured. Whether it’s a playful pup or a cuddly cat, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural and important part of our everyday life—it’s something my whole family truly enjoys. We have a very flexible schedule, so we’re able to provide care during the week, on weekends, and even at night if needed. I work part-time just four days a week from 7 AM to 2 PM, and I’m home for the rest of the day. Even while I’m at work, my husband is always home, so your pet will never be left without loving attention. Between the two of us, we’re able to give your pet the time, care, and affection they deserve. Caring for animals is already a big part of our day—we have pets of our own—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine will feel completely natural. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or walks, your pet will be treated like family and showered with love while they’re with us. I live in a cozy 3 bedroom home, with a large back yard that is completely fenced in with tall privacy fencing, perfect for playtime and fresh air. My family—an animal-loving husband, my playful 10-year-old son, and my adoring 5-year-old—are all eager to welcome your pet into our home. Our German Shepherd, Ava, loves making new dog friends, while our cuddly cats, Jocko and Trunks, are gentle and sweet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I ensure a loving and secure environment for them to feel right at home. I can also crate your dog if needed to meet their preferences or your instructions.
About: I’ve had many pet growing up and have a strong love for animals. I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and birds. I pick up lots of freelance odd jobs and do not currently have a true sit down "job". So there will be plenty of time for taking care of your pet properly! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment that helps pets feel secure and loved while their favorite people are away. I always follow the owner’s routines and instructions carefully. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I make sure doors are locked, pets are supervised, and I give updates as needed to give you peace of mind. I also take pride in respecting your home, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. My goal is to build trust. Not just with your pet, but with you too. I know it can be hard to leave your pet behind, and scary to leave your babies in someone else's hands while you're gone. I'm reliable, detail oriented, and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pretty Bayou
We had such a great experience with Destin! She has a big fenced in backyard with plenty of room for the pups to run around and play. Her son was so sweet with them and our pups adored him! Destiny communicated wonderfully and sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. It was so nice knowing our pups were in good hands and having such a great time. Honestly, I think they were a little sad to leave! You could tell they received lots of love and attention while they were there. We would absolutely book with Destiny again and highly recommend her!
Tessa was amazing with our Luna! I highly recommend booking with her; she also has the sweetest dogs. I really appreciated the pictures and updates! Luna was so happy when we picked her up, she was clearly well cared for during her stay. 10/10 I will certainly book with Tessa again.
Jessie was truly the best! This was our first time leaving Beau with anyone other than family and we felt very much at ease during our whole trip that he would be well taken care of. Jessie was very responsive and provided us with numerous updates throughout our vacation. We couldn’t recommend her services more!!

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 Pretty Bayou 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 Pretty Bayou.
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 and your Pretty Bayou 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.
