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
“Lulu was splendidly taken care of by Megan and family ( her husband Brian and Honey , their Cavalier). Lulu & Honey became fast friends and her 2 week stay was greatly enhanced by this new friendship! Megan sent me charming photos of Lulu on a daily basis and I was absolutely sure that she was being excellently and lovingly cared for. Megan has a lovely house and fenced in backyard where Lulu was able to romp & play. Lulu was so happy there - she no doubt would like me to go on another trip sometime soon so she could return. Of course - I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to rebook with Megan. The treatment was 5 star and I recommend her fully!!”
“Juli was quick to respond to my booking request and was very easy to communicate with. She sent photos and updates every day, which reassured me that our dog was comfortable and happy!”
“We had the pleasure of entrusting our elderly dog, Roxy, to Jennifer, and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention provided. From the moment we dropped Roxy off, it was evident that she was in good hands. Jennifer demonstrated a deep understanding of Roxy's needs, especially considering her age. She took the time to understand Roxy's specific needs which was reassuring considering Roxy's age. What stood out the most was the genuine affection and kindness shown towards Roxy. Jennifer and her family not only tended to her physical needs but also provided companionship and love, which is invaluable, especially for an elderly dog who may be experiencing some challenges. Throughout Roxy's stay, we received regular updates, including photos and messages that reassured us she was happy and comfortable. It was evident that Jennifer went above and beyond to make Roxy feel at home and cared for. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family members. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication to providing a safe and loving environment for pets truly makes her stand out in the best possible way. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience!”
“Excellent communication with Millie during our vacation. She truly loves animals, our havanese dog was vibrant and happy. I Fully recommend her for your loving pet.”
“Raani's 'staycation' was so wonderful I feared she would not want to return home! Lisa was great. She provided our Goldendoodle with all the comfort and love of home. She sent daily photos and videos which indeed showed me what a great time my dog was having. I have a feeling Raani is hoping we plan another vacation so she can have a sleepover at Lisa's and with her new furry friend Bentley.”
“They were the most unbelievable sitters ! They cared for my zoey like she was theirs.Sent many pictures.Anytime I need a sitter they will be my first choice .”
“Amanda took great care of our fur baby (dog) while we were away for the holidays. Appreciate you spending time with our Ryry during the holidays when we couldn’t! Would definitely hire Amanda again.”
“Angelina was wonderful with our two boys when we were away for the weekend. She addressed all our concerns and kept me updated throughout their stay. I felt comfortable leaving them with her as she seemed to really understand dogs and care for them. My boys were spoiled being able to stay on a human bed and have Angelina’s dogs as playmates!”
“Miranda did such an amazing job taking care my dogs while I was away. From the beginning, she was reliable, attentive and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. I really appreciate the updates and the extra care she put in.”
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.
“Kelsey did an excellent job with our two fur babies! You could clearly tell they had a wonderful time and she took very good care of them. While we were away she sent us pictures and updates!! I think they had more fun at her house than with us! Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with the care Muffin received! She stayed for 11 nights, and from the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. Every day we received a detailed update letting us know how she was eating, going potty, what she had been up to that day, and even whether she had made any new furry friends. 🐶💕 One of our favorite parts was getting pictures of Muffin with the CUTEST little hairdos! 🎀 It was so sweet and made us feel like she wasn’t just being watched—she was genuinely being loved and spoiled while we were away. Being gone for 11 nights can make you worry about your fur baby, but the consistent communication and wonderful care gave us so much peace of mind. Muffin looked happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We are extremely happy with our experience and would absolutely trust her with Muffin again. We’re so thankful she took such wonderful care of our furry girl! 🐾❤️”
“Heidi went above and beyond for Bella during her stay for a week at Heidi’s home. Walks, ball chasing, park adventures, and even a bath. She sent lots of photos and videos so that helped a lot while we were away.”
“Fran and Gabe are the best, they spoiled our Carolina so much that she did not want to leave! They took such great care of Carolina and kept me updated on how she was doing and sent cute photos everyday she was with them. I would highly recommend Fran and Gabe and will definitely be bring Carolina back to them.”

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.
