“It's a blessing to have Gabriela in our neighborhood. The passion and dedication with which she cares for our Draco and Jack are certainly a testament to that. God bless you.”
“They were amazing with our pup! We had a 12 day trip and they took him in no problem. They sent multiple photos and videos every day and he had the best time with their husky and a few other pups. Will definitely be using them for our next trip!”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“Mirian did an amazing job taking care of my dog Luna while I was out of the country. She was attentive, reliable, and treated Luna like her own. I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I appreciate the level of care she gave, and I would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care.”
“We had such a fantastic experience with Anna taking care of our little Belle. She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly passionate about animals. Belle came back to us after a week happy and well-cared for, and we couldn't be more grateful. We got 2 updates a day with pictures and we really appreciated it. Highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for top-notch dog care.”
“Once again Rover came through for me. Joan was a wonderful caretaker for Winnie. She was knowledgeable , loving and provided a quiet calm place for Winnie and Joan's animals to enjoy. I appreciate that Joan accepted last minute and accommodated us beautiful. I would re moment her again. Thank you! Susan McMath”
“Lorena had taken top tier care of my senior guy Luke and my bernedoodle Noelle. I’m always nervous leaving them but she had provided outstanding updates, communication and over all experience for them and myself 10/10 would recommend!”
“Tressa and her family are simply outstanding. Tressa is compassionate, kind, loving and all giving. She stayed up all night by my “Honey” when Honey was sad (whimpering, whining) the first night she was there. Honey has separation anxiety, as does her family and Tressa called me the next day and asked if Honey was allowed to lay where she found comfort (Tressa was worried about teaching her a bad habit). Tressa made Honey chicken and rice when she lost her appetite that first night after asking me first if it was ok. Tressa sent pictures everyday and Honey looked so happy and so loved!!! Thank you Tressa and family for being so good to Honey. We are blessed to have found such terrific people to care for our beloved pet while we are away.”
“Katherine did a great job with Betty when we went away recently. Betty is a nervous dog so we rarely leave her, but Katherine put us at ease with frequent updates and pictures, and we could tell Betty was enjoying herself. I'm so pleased we found someone we can trust with Betty and would highly recommend Katherine. The fact that she has so many repeat clients tells you all you need to know.”
“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“Danielle watched my dog for a couple of nights and made the entire process comfortable for me and him, it was my first time leaving my dog without a family member and I was super nervous, she made sure to always communicate, she sent pictures while I was away and even accommodated him when he wouldn’t eat his food, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter as she took care of him like her own! Thank you Danielle!!”
“Morgan is very sweet and attentive. My dog seemed to enjoy his 2 day stay. A few pics were sent as well as texts so I knew he was in great hands. She has a great backyard and her children also helped to entertain my pet. Definitely recommend Morgan if your dog thrives on being the only pet cared for and being surrounded by a loving family.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brian and Julie were absolutely amazing sitters for our sweet Sephora! 🐶 From the start, they treated her like family, making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Horacio was kind enough to share his couch! They even fed her sweet potatoes! Throughout her stay, they proactively sent us photos of her enjoying her little vacation by going on fun walks around the lake and getting lots of love. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. 🐾 To top it all off, they went above and beyond by jump-starting my car when I was on my way to pick her up! Truly incredible people. ❤️ I highly recommend Brian and Julie for anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and caring pet sitters! 🏡🐕✨”
“Excellent communication. Meet and greet went well and I felt at ease leaving my four month old puppy for the first time. Brian and his family are very caring people and you can tell that they’re focused on your dog’s well being. We will definitely use them again when the need arises.”
“This was Holly and Vader’s first experience with overnight care. They stayed with John & Gemma for 5 days. I was provided daily updates while in John & Gemma’s care. I picked up 2 happy and playful dogs, they seemed to have had a great experience.”
“Our little dog, Miss JJ had a wonderful time with Nancy! Nancy sent us photos and emails during our travels, and we loved hearing from her. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“Alyssa took good care of Leo and was very communicative throughout his stay. I appreciated the photos she sent with each update as well! We will use her again.”
“She was absolutely wonderful! So kind, caring, and attentive with our pup. She gave us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving! Overall, an pawesome experience! 🐾❤️”
“Ania was so great! I felt comfortable leaving my baby with her after a meet and greet. She was in regular contact. Lots of photos and updates. Nora is a 4-time rescue with separation anxiety. It was wonderful seeing her so comfortable being away from me. Made me far less anxious about leaving her. We will definitely be going back!”

Danielle was kind and communicative throughout our dog’s stay. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned. We really appreciated her care and would definitely use Danielle again for a short trip!
Appa always has a blast at Gabriela’s house while we’re away. From drop off to pick up, it’s truly like he’s at sleep away camp! I receive updates on how he’s doing in a timely manner and you can tell she really cares about the dogs in her care. Appa’s a big boy (~115 lbs. Rottweiler) and Gabriela does a great job with him. My husband and I both highly recommend her.
SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.

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.
95% of sitters in Ruskin 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 Ruskin 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 Ruskin.
<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 Ruskin 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.
