About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs, cats, and livestock and have experience as a vet tech. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! I work from home October through April so have plenty of time to drop in to care for your animals. I also enjoy walking so would love to have you baby tag along for that. Currently have three dogs that go on two walks a day and have outside play time. I would treat your fur baby like it was my own, and of course send you plenty of pictures/videos.
“Labern was so amazing! She took such great care of my doggie. I never once had to ask how Venus was doing, she sent me an update and photo every single day! I loved that so much! I hope she's available to watch her again because Labern has become my favorite Rover in all of Florida. Thank you so so much!”
“Vlasta was great with our fur baby. We could tell that she was comfortable staying with Vlasta because she went right for the toys. Received pictures & videos while we were away.”
“Raquel is a beautiful soul. She has a calmness that you can pick up on immediately and that helps when your entrusting another person to take care of your pet. She was open to meeting bf the actual sit date, met CodyB, he took right to her. You could tell she is good at what she does. I was very happy with the care she provided CodyB and will definitely call on her again!☺️”
About: My lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals of many kinds. I bred our family poodle, assisted during the birth of her puppies, helped raise them, and placed them in loving homes with family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for guinea pigs, fish, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs of many breeds and sizes. I’ve even rescued baby birds and provided around-the-clock care until they were healthy enough to be released back into the wild. I’ve also helped several family members teach their dogs important skills, including potty training and coming when called. I had a dog by my side for most of my life until my beloved fur baby recently passed away. While I’m not ready to adopt another pet, I would love to responsibly fill that space in my heart by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care to other people’s pets. I currently work at my part-time job two days a week. Outside of that schedule, I’m very flexible and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet parent’s needs. I’m always happy to have a conversation about your pet's specific routine and schedule so we can create a care plan that works well for everyone. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which means your pet will be my priority and receive plenty of individual attention. Although I do not have a fenced-in backyard, dogs will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, and there is also have a dog park in my neighborhood that can be used with your permission. For cats, I can provide litter boxes and a peaceful environment where they can settle in comfortably. My home is clean, organized, and pet-proofed. I do not have children in the home, and potentially unsafe items are kept neatly put away. Pets are welcome on my furniture because I believe they are family—while they’re staying with me, my home is their home.
About: I got my first puppy and I trained him through watching YouTube videos because I did not have a clue about how big the responsibility to raise a pet was. I have a new found patience 😂 and cleaning skills! I am working from home. I can manage my time for your pets needs! I have lots of time on my hands during the day. I walk my dog 2 times a day & he gets at least 5 hours of exercise every week. If your pets are use to lounging I will gladly do that too!
“My first time using Rover and WAS LUCKY to have found and chosen Sandy! She is over the top amazing. She watched my dog during the holidays and last minute at that! I will not settle for any less than Sandy from now on. She is my sitter! Love love love!!!!!!”
“Ilene take care of my kids like if they were hers. I definetely recommend her 200%. They were treated as if they were in a 5 star hotel. Ilene, thank you so much for everything and taking care of my kids.”
“Very happy with Juliana. They took exceptional care of Leo. He looked very happy with Juliana and came home contented. They kept him active and well fed. I will definitely be using your service again.l;”
“Such a great little family and space. I could see in the check in messaging how relaxed and stress free my dog was during the whole visit. Very relaxing environment. When you book with a kennel or even people who have several dogs they are either watching or personally own and it can get really stressful for your pup. Not with this crew though. Thank you all so much. Will use again and highly recommend (although part of me just wants to keep them for ourselves 🤣💕🙏).”

About: I’ve spent nearly two decades around dogs — from working in pet resorts and vet offices, where I trained dogs and their owners using structured obedience, clear communication, and mutual respect. My background in working with dogs shaped a disciplined, no-nonsense approach that builds real trust between dogs and their people. Whether it’s a rowdy puppy or a dog with serious behavioral issues, I focus on building lasting confidence, not quick fixes. My schedule leaves solid blocks of time for pet care throughout the week, and I’m currently building out a dedicated training and kennel space at home. I’m available for boarding and daycare on weekends and weekday evenings, with flexibility for drop-offs, check-ins, and training sessions throughout the day I live on an acre of land near a reservoir, with a fenced area and a dedicated kennel and training space being built out inside my home. I own three well-socialized dogs of my own who are comfortable around visiting pups, so your dog will have company. I use crates when appropriate and closely supervise every interaction to keep all the dogs safe and comfortable.

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 River Ranch 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 River Ranch.
<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 River Ranch 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.
