“You couldn’t ask for better sitters! I received daily (unprompted!) updates including pics. I could tell they were really paying attention because they noted personality traits I had not mentioned, including my puppy’s fascination with lizards!”
“New to area and Kate was great with watching my Bella for me while having to leave town. Lots of photos and communication! Definitely will use her again! Thanks again for taking care of my pup.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs and have also helped neighbors by walking, feeding, and looking after their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time throughout the day. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard, and morning and evening walks are already part of my routine—I’d be happy to have your dog join me! I also spend time in my garden each day, so dogs can enjoy the yard and keep me company while I’m outside. Our home is active, loving, and a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of family life. Safety and trust are very important to me. Before booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions. In my home, dogs receive plenty of attention and supervised outdoor time in our fully fenced yard. Gates are always kept securely closed, and introductions to my children are calm and supervised so everyone feels comfortable. I follow each owner’s directions for meals, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left secure and just as I found it. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Whenever we go away, Bailey will be our sitter if available!!! Shetook care of our 2 babies, like they were hers...with so much love! We adopted a Pumi and from her past experience with that breed, she even gave us helpful information. She kept us in the loop with everything and that was greatly appreciated since she was our 1st Rover Sitter!!!! She deserves 10 stars!!!! Thank you Bailey!!! Thank you Rover for hiring her!!!”
“Every time my dog stays with Chris, he’s upset at me for picking him back up 😅. He’s clearly having a great time and is always well taken care of so we’re repeat customers for as long as he’ll have us.”
About: I have had pets my entire life and truly love caring for animals. I treat every pet with love, patience, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior pets and providing the extra attention and gentle care they may need. During the school year, I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Saturdays are flexible until 7:00 PM, and Sundays are available for special occasions or short-term care when needed. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, with wider availability. I also offer boarding in my home for one medium dog or up to two small dogs, depending on availability. My home has a fully fenced, spacious yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and relax. I spend most of my time at home, so pets are not left alone for long periods and receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Boarding dogs must be house-trained, spayed/neutered, and friendly with other dogs. Spanish is spoken in our home. Your pet will be welcomed and cared for like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, and respect. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Saturdays are flexible until 8:30 PM. Sundays are available for special occasions or short-term care when needed. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, with wider availability throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of space to play. Pets are supervised, treated like family, and receive lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks.

Caroline kept open communication about Paris, as well as sent video updates. I appreciate her and would definitely recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
Maybell was very sweet and patient with my Benny. She made him feel at home and she sent me lots of pics and videos to reassure he was doing well. I even put a Halloween costume in his bag just in case, and she dressed him up and sent pics. Would definitely recommend for your pup and I look forward to having her sit Benny again.
Yaima took such amazing care of Callie! She kept us updated throughout her stay and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. She also has two sweet dogs who got along so well with Callie, and it was great knowing she had friends to play with while she was there. I would absolutely recommend Yaima and her family to anyone looking for a loving, welcoming home for their dog. We would definitely book with her again!
Claudia was beyond great! She took care of my little baby even though it was not easy. She taught her how to go through the little doggy door to go outside. Her dog Nacho, he was the sweetest with me and my dog even when Nova didn’t like him at the beginning. He was patience with her and help my dog to feel secure in this new environment. This dog is not harmful and you will love him once you meet him. Overall this experience was great for me and my dog, Claudia sent me pictures and videos twice a day or even more! I definitely look forward to bringing my dog back to them if they allow me to!
Katherine was an absolute gem for our dog Max! Throughout his entire stay, she kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which made a world of difference. Knowing he was eating well and seeing him happy in the pictures gave us so much peace of mind we could actually enjoy our time away without worrying. You could tell from every photo that he was having the time of his life! 😄 We truly appreciate how caring and attentive Katherine was with our boy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative pet sitter. Thank you, Katherine, for taking such great care of Max 🐾 for the 2nd time.
Victor and Tracy were very attentive and communicated with me about my babies everyday. I got videos and photos and could see how much my dogs enjoyed their time running around and playing everyday. Will definitely rebook with them and highly recommend to anyone wanting the best for their pups
Amazing and trustworthy as always. Mike took great care of my dog over the weekend and constantly sent me picture updates to make me feel comfortable through the entire time. It’s not easy leaving my dog behind on a trip but it makes it much less stressful knowing he’s in good hands.

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 Riverview 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 Riverview 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 Riverview.
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 Riverview. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Riverview 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.
