“I had to find a pet sitter on short notice. Teddy, Cooper and I were very impressed with Christina's large outdoor space, pool, lanai and comfy spacious home completely set up to make dogs feel welcome and comfortable. Christina is very experienced with dogs including rescues. Both my dogs had a great time with Christina and her dogs. They had enough space, activities, play time and made new friends. Its very much a retreat for dogs. They are looking forward to their next stay.”
“I chose Taylor to watch my cat while we moved houses. I needed someone who didn’t have any other pets to help reduce stress. She was absolutely amazing during this process. She was very helpful and kept me informed on how the stay was going throughout each day. I would highly recommend!”
“I’m not typically one for rave reviews, but it’s easy to rave about Linda! She is kind, caring, and so good with my rescue dog Coco. Coco was in a cage for years so she has separation anxiety. And Linda knew just what to do to put her at ease. She also sent lots of pictures, stayed in constant contact, and asked all of the right questions. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Wouldn’t trust my boy with anyone else! Jennifer is so good with my pup, always responsive and gives around the clock care. Never question whether or not my pup is in good care! Highly recommend.”
“Repeat customer. My French bulldog Princeton always seems to have a great time here. Loved that Christopher took time for a little "photo session" with my boy - the pictures are some of my favorites!”
“This is the 2nd time Baby has stayed with Cathy. We are so happy to have found her! She is incredibly attentive to him and keeps us updated on how he’s doing while we’re away. He seems relaxed when we pick him up and he was excited to see her the 2nd time so we knew he had a good visit! Being that he 12, we are always worried when we leave. With Cathy, we never worry about him! Thank you Cathy!”
“My first time ever using Rover, and it was an amazing experience !!!!! So happy that i picked the perfect family, to watch my precious puppy... having a puppy is a lot of hard work and I was so nervous leaving bailey with just anyone. From the moment I arrived Norma made me feel so comfortable even led me around her backyard & home. While I was away, I was sent pictures of bailey & when I returned learned that bailey had learned a New Trick :) .. such an amazing family, highly recommended !!”
About: I've had a pet in the house since childhood. Dogs, cats, birds, fish. However, dogs have always been there. I've had many occasions to petsit for friends, family and my neighbors. I'll treat your dog as my own. I am a retired firefighter (pet first aid training) and at home most of the day with exception of errands, gym, shopping and other typical day activities. Your pet will get plenty of attention and playtime inside and out. My backyard is totally fenced in, so it's safe and secure. I make sure not to have any toxic plants in the house or in the yard. I only use pet-safe products for lawn and garden. I have one dog, an 11 year old Goldendoodle that loves other dogs, large and small. I've had a pet in my home most of my life.
“Hanna was great. I appreciated her patience & understanding with Ghost & his anxiety. She also let me book last minute as my go to sitter was full. THANK YOU HANNA!”
“We could not have been happier with the care Claire gave out pup! Our 2 yo miniature schnauzer looked so happy in the many pictures we received. I feel like Elsie now has a second home! I feel so lucky to have found Claire and will use her services again! Thank you Claire!”
“Gunner had the best week with Arielle and his new buddy Dune…Arielle kept me updated through out his stay while I was traveling and I could tell she really enjoyed hosting my dog. Would definitely use again and highly recommend !”
“I cannot say enough good things. We were first time Rover users and have had some rough times with friends watching our dog. Athena and Richi went above and beyond our expectations. Amazing communication every day, pictures and video updates, extremely flexible with our shifting schedule to pick him up. He came back as happy as ever. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Emma was awesome and was totally flexible with scheduling. She shocked us by offering to pick up our Westie at the Clearwater Beach resort so that we could just enjoy a much needed mini vaca. Daisy took to her immediately and was tail wagging from the start! Very happy!!”
“I left my punkins with Nancy while on vacation and couldn't be happier! She sent me videos and pics several times throughout the day so I could see how they were doing. I left them in great hands and will definitely use her again, thanks Nancy!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ann. She took great care of our fur baby and gave us peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and we truly appreciated the love and attention she provided. She went above and beyond. She washed my puppy’s bed when he had an accident and we got tons of cute videos daily. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, she was so sweet!”

Yessica is the best pet sitter around! From start to finish the experience could not have been better. She was proactive with communication and flexible with booking & drop-off/pickup. Her home is a dog's paradise and I received tons of updates of my dog looking like he was having the time of his life!
Bailey and her Wonderful Lovely, Loving Family are just that ✨💖 My pups want to go back ❣️ All is so clean and taken care of Top Knox❣️ Bailey sent updates and photos 😁 was up to date on all communication and concerns. She keeps her clients one on one family so she is always able to tend to needs. Again, We are so Very Thankful for Bailey and Her Awesome, Loving Family. Kai and Tia will be so Happy to play and be with their friends again 🐶🐕🦺❤️
Jennifer was great as always with Gilly! We were already going to pick him up a little later due to us arriving from a cruise and driving from Miami. Well due to cruise delays, we didn't end up picking him up until late evening. We appreciate her accommodating this late pick up and feeding him dinner. Absolutely recommend Jennifer; We're at ease when we leave our dogs under her care and love getting picture updates!
Nicole was wonderful with our pups! I had a last-minute change to my flight, and she was flexible enough to watch them a day earlier than planned. She kept in touch throughout their stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind. Leo is a senior dog who requires a little extra care and attention, and Nicole was great with him. Chase is an attention seeker who absolutely loves her fenced-in yard! We recently moved to the area and so glad we found Nicole. I highly recommend Nicole and would definitely book with her again!
Nancy went above and beyond in caring for Monty. Unfortunately he developed an ear infection that presented right after we left and Nancy arranged a vet appointment, took Monty for the visit and administered his meds the remainder of the week. This was certainly above and beyond care and we thank her sincerely!
We couldn’t be happier with our pet care providers Alexis & Collin H. They treated our Lily with care and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates that she was happy and comfortable and being spoiled just as much as she is at home. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care and we will absolutely trust them with our precious Puppy again thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little girl.
Thanks to Laura for taking such good care of Zoey while we were gone for a few days.Everything about the stay worked out great. Laura was easy to work with and interested in what's was best for our little girl. We look forward to arranging another stay in the future.
Kylie is the best. She was super kind from our first exchange and all throughout. Our 3 month old pup was in good hands and she treated him like a special guest, and so did their dog :) Kyle made sure we knew he was fine with pics and videos while we were on our trip, it truly helped us with peace of mind while away from him for the first time. Thank you so much, Kylie!! Highly recommend!!
We had such a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Preston and his wife while we were on vacation in the area from WV! We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and being well cared for. We received updates and could tell he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the love and attention he received and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Ridgecrest 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 Ridgecrest 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 Ridgecrest.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgecrest. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ridgecrest 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
