About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have experience with many different breeds andworked for a Veterinarian while in college. I am a retired NYC police officer available 7 days a week. I am usually home and have lots of time available to give your dog the attention it deserves. I have a mini bernadoodle who will keep your dog company. We take 2 long walks a day for excersise,plus potty trips. Playtime during the day and grooming at night.
“Vetra was amazing with my girls and I highly recommend her! I have already rebooked for a second stay. Vetra kept my girls on their routine and sent me pictures and messages to let me know they were doing well. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that they were being well loved and cared for while I was gone.”
“Made our trip so easy! Our dog has anxiety, and Joyce did so well with her. Followed al the instructions with her meds, and made sure she was comfortable while we were away. She even le let us come pick her up for a doggy beach trip, since our place did not allow dogs. Easy to work with , and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you!!!!”
About: I have created an easy to care for pet home with an all-tile floor, double door entries at all three take-in locations, and have doggy doors that let dogs come and go to the Back Yard to get exercise or take a potty break. I have been caring for four rescue dogs for over six years a dog in my home since 2012. I am currently retired and enjoy caring for my pets and those that visit. aside from caring for the dogs I am pretty much caring for the yard and the home. I have a fenced yard and three senior dogs and one 5-year-old dog, all rescues. Usually, breakfast in the morning roughly 7:00 followed by a walk then dinner at 4:00.
“Elaine was great! Her place and clean and comfy perfect for the pups! She sent great photos and updates daily. Our pups loved playing with her daughter as well! Would definitely book again!”
“This was a first stay away for our dog. Natasha and Gaspare allowed us to come over in advance of the stay to meet them and see the house and yard. During his stay, they kept us informed of how things were going. Our dog loved being with their two dogs. He also loved hanging out in their yard. We appreciate the good care they gave him!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals most of my life, I own two adorable sugar gliders and I work remotely so I have flexibility to make sure your pet is given lots of time, love and attention. The last year i dedicated time to helping local organization with fostering a puppy and now that program has ended i have more time to meet and care for new animal friends. I have experience with cats,dogs,birds, etc. I absolutely love animals and want your pets to have the best care! Many pets go through mood swings when their parents leave so my goal is to make them feel comfortable and as happy as possible! They deserve to be treated like the kings or queens they are. We know our pets are so much more then just animals, they are our children... a part of our family, right? So why would we not spoil them (just the right amount) and love them like we would our own flesh and blood? My aim is to also to treat your animal like my own with lots of love and attention! When fostered the service dog in past, my husband and I helped in her weekly training and she graduated as an Eye-Seeing guide Dog, super proud! We are building a screen in patio oasis so your pet can enjoy some sun but in a secure safe location with me. I have the flexibility with my remote job to give your animal the love and attention they need and deserve! Do prefer dogs that are crate trained and have a Crate you can provide as we have a room that will put in during the evenings so they feel secure. Happy to play with pets, provide food and water, provide any special medications as needed and will send daily pictures to pet owners so they can feel assured they furry friend is having a good time.
“Tia took such good care of our puppies, that they were spoiled! I can imagine that caring for 2 active dogs is not an easy task but we really appreciate knowing that they are in good hands. Tia picked them up and dropped them off which is an extra service that makes handoff so much easier for us. Tia is also a veterinarian so we rest assured that if anything happened to the our puppies she would know exactly what to do.”
“Yani & her family were great! She responds in a timely manner and provided me with updates and pictures throughout the day. I’ll definitely continue booking with Yani in the future.”
About: I love animals as I have had about ten cats over the years and about four dogs. I have had pets since I was basically born. At one point I was looking into or was recommended by people to become a vet! I am at the moment typically free other than doing school work for college. I would be able to tend to animal needs pretty much anytime! I am often noted as attentive and disciplined, especially when it comes to others. For in home care I let pets do their thing (unless potting on things or breaking).
About: I’ve taken care of different dogs all my life I really love dogs I love playing with them and making sure they are cared for Im available for pet sitting anytime because im currently unemployed and this is how im going to try and make income I’m available on weekends and weekdays anytime after 12:30 My bf has a fenced in backyard and we let his dogs go out and play and he we also have a cat that I always like to play with
“This is the fourth time we’ve trusted Jessica to take care of our dog while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be more pleased. She takes wonderful care of her—playing with her, making sure she feels loved, and sending us regular updates and photos. Jessica is very communicative, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. It gives us great peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. We highly recommend her!”
“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”

Angela was wonderful to work with. She did a great job of taking care of our cats. Everything was cohesive and she sent us pictures and little updates on how they were doing. Everything she did gave us the peace of mind we needed when having someone take care of your babies
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
