About: My pup Mera is a 30lb schnauzer mix. I also have a 15 lb cat. We hang out in the yard, walk around sometimes and explore some places on the weekends. Other times we just cuddle and watch movies. We love couch and lap time. We are super chill and my babyis not aggressive at all. She loves to cuddle a s play with any pup they will allow it. I have kept about pups from my old neighborhood regularly and we always love the company. I work 5 mins from home and I come spend time with Mera every day at lunch My pets are not alone more that 4 hours at a time. I have an enclosed patio and lots of comfy places to hang out in the house. We are totally a pet place and love to spend time snuggling

“Brianna was truly amazing! I booked with her last minute, and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. She took such wonderful care of Major—kept me constantly updated with the sweetest pictures and videos, which made being away so much easier. She even let me extend my stay last minute without any hesitation. Brianna was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and totally on top of Major’s feeding and sleeping schedule. I could tell he felt right at home with her. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—thank you so much, Brianna!”

“Maiden has been incredible. Our loved family member was taken care of by Maiden as if he was hers. Benji has special needs. I couldn't have taken care of our fur ball better ourselves. Friends have asked who would care for the Benj while we were away and I tell them we found Maiden through Rover.com. Highly recommend her. She's the best!”

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs—including having a Husky and two Yorkshire Terriers of my own—I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages, including both young and senior pets, and I know how important it is to tailor care to each individual animal. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise and high-energy play or simply calm companionship and reassurance, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. As a sitter, I am reliable, punctual, attentive, and compassionate. I prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being and physical safety while maintaining a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. I also understand the importance of following routines, respecting instructions, and keeping owners informed while they are away. In an emergency, I remain calm, assess the situation carefully, contact the owner promptly, and prioritize veterinary care when necessary. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furry family member and giving them the care and companionship they deserve! I’m a full-time online student working toward my bachelor’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule compared to a traditional in-person student. I can easily plan my schoolwork around pet care and make sure I have dedicated time for each pet. As long as I have time to complete my homework either before or during a pet stay, I’m happy to spend extended periods with your pet. This flexibility makes me a great fit for overnight stays and house sitting, especially for owners who prefer having someone stay in their home with their pet. I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly while still being present, attentive, and available for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to provide companionship and care while also maintaining my school responsibilities, making overnight and longer stays especially convenient for me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow the routines and instructions their owner has provided. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet comfortable by maintaining their normal feeding, playtime, bathroom, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For overnight stays and house sitting, I’m happy to spend extended periods in the home so pets have companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. Since I’m a full-time online student, I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly from the client’s home while still being present and attentive to their pet. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner.

About: I was blessed to have my beloved dog for 18 wonderful years, and five years ago, Maya came into my life. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and Maya brings so much love, joy, and companionship to my life every day. 🐾💕 I genuinely enjoy making time for pet care in my daily and weekly routine. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique personalities, so caring for pets feels less like a job and more like something I truly look forward to. I’m happy to build my schedule around their needs, whether that means morning or evening walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply giving them some extra love and attention while their family is away. When caring for a pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and little quirks so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and reassuring. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and attentive to every detail, from keeping their routine consistent to making sure they receive plenty of playtime, affection, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Chloe was responsive to any questions we had and flexible when we asked to adjust pickup time. Ira seemed content and calm when we picked her up, so we could tell she had been in good hands. Will definitely be using Chloe again for our dogsitting needs! Thank you, Chloe!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our baby. It was such a relief knowing that she was in your hands. From our first meeting, we knew that we were making the right choice. It is really hard to pick a stranger to take care of your dog. We had no hesitation in choosing the both of you. We will be back again next winter and will give you a call then. Thanks again, Joan & Steve”

Maria and Jay did a wonderful job watching our pup Buffy for us this past weekend. They took great care of her and kept us updated every day with pictures and messages about how she was doing. We really appreciated the care and attention they gave her. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust them with Buffy again! :)

Deborah and her husband are truly lovely people. Their cozy home is in a nice small gated neighborhood that’s ideal for dog walks. Deborah communicates wonderfully and always sends the sweetest photos. It warms my heart every time Bandit lights up with excitement the moment he sees her! This was my first time using Rover, and the experience was excellent. I highly recommend Deborah- I feel confident that Bandit is loved and well cared for with her. ❤️

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 Rio home-away-from-home, 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 Rio.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rio 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 , 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 .

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.
