About: I've taken care of bunnies, parrots, chickens, dogs, cats, and turtles. I will always make sure that your pet is well cared for and loved. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of free time to watch your pets, play with them, walk them, and feed them. They will be well cared for. I have a small part of my yard fenced but there’s plenty of space for your pets to run around. I have a 4 chickens that roam around but I will lock them up if needed and I have a small senior dog.
“Krista was the perfect person to care for Amy. She made Amy feel right at home. We were sent pictures and updates daily. I never worried a minute while she was in Krista's care. We will definitely use Krista again without hesitation.”
“Robin made an instant connection with our pup Stella. We were sent photos of their time together and Stella was very happy. We highly recommend Robin to watch your fur baby, they’ll be in good hands.”
“Toby was extremely well look after. We really appreciated all of the pictures that were sent on a daily basis. We will definitely use Claudia again she was amazing!”
“Mike was so, so helpful and great with Jill! It’s obvious that he loves animals and he kept us informed on how she was doing throughout her stay. We will definitely be asking him to keep her again.”
“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.”
“Excellent care!! Gleidys took wonderful care of my doodle. She kept me updated on his day, sent pictures and made us feel comfortable he was doing great while we were away. Definitely recommend!”
“I have never left my 2 frenchies for a long period of time - so this visit was extra hard on me, especially since I was going on a cruise with limited contact. Sam was great with my babies, however! I got regular updates whenever I had service, and I could tell they were having fun and loving their time with her and her babies! Definitely will be booking her again for my next trip! 🖤”
“They sent so many videos and photos, which helped a lot considering how much I missed my sweet puppy, Virginia. Their dog, Max, quickly became Virginia’s best bud, and their entire family was so welcoming. Virginia was immediately comfortable and so loved the entire time. The home was clean and the backyard was spacious and fenced in. She had tons of play time and more than enough attention. This is where I’d board my dog if I had to again.”
“After our meet and greet, where my Lucy was greeted by Erica'sweet little dog, she walked right up to the house.The first day of her stay and made herself right at home. Erica sent me lots of pictures. And I knew Lucy was getting all the snuggles, she needed. I will call erica again”
“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”
“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.”
“VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! Our Dog Nova (a lab mix) stayed with Emily and Aaron for a little over a week and they treated her like family. They made sure she had plenty of play time, company and got her medicine. They were very easy to communicate with, quick to respond and sent regular updates. Honestly I hope they are always available when I go out of town. :) Thanks you guys!”
“Mikes care is top notch! Our dogs are excited to go back and we don’t worry about a thing when we drop them off! We will gladly bring them back anytime we need dog care.”
About: Your Pet’s Home Away From Home 🐶🐱❤️ Hi! I’m Emily, and I’d love to care for your pets while you’re away! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was 5. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and all kinds of furry friends over the years. I’ve also volunteered and fostered with animal shelters for several years, so I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers to curl up on the couch and get some extra love, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾 I have 2 fur babies of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’m happy to follow your normal routine, including meals, walks, medications, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I have a fenced-in yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. I’m also very flexible and can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. 📸 I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder what your fur baby is up to! I’d love to meet you and your pets and hopefully become your go-to sitter! ❤️🐾 I currently work a very flexible job, which allows me time to come home and take care of my fur babies. I look forward to meeting yours! I have a fenced in yard, live in a great neighborhood for walking with sidewalks, and have my own fur babies to keep yours company!
“Tony was wonderful with our dog, Louie. He kept in regular communication throughout Louie’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dog in Tony’s care and would use him again.”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“Marley was very well taken care of. I didnt worry about him at all. They sent pics and video. They took him for walks. We will use again for sure. Very very nice people!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Punta Gorda
I met Ellen here and inquired with her about watching my sweet girl, Maizy, in her home while we traveled. She responded immediately and we set up a time to meet. She was very easy for both Maizy and I to get along with and her home was clean and practical for her to be pet sitting. We officially booked, and upon dropping Maizy off, we met her husband and their pup, Salty. It was a very pleasant encounter. While away, Ellen kept in touch with updates and photos. After traveling, she and her husband confirmed that Maizy is sweet, well behaved, and was a joy to have around. I will be booking with Ellen again, and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for your pup too. Thank you, Ellen!
We were so lucky to have Adani care for our girl while we were away. She sent pictures and a video along with feedback about how she was doing. She gave her attention, cuddled with her and let her try some of her dogs food toppers, which Verrin LOVED! She even taught her a new trick! You can tell that Adani loves dogs and has a wealth of knowledge to care for them. We will definitely be using Adani again if she is available when we need a sitter for our girl.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
