“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!!”
“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.”

“Nancy was great. She gave me updates about my dog pictures and texts. If I called to check up on him, she was able to answer the phone she had toys and was very sweet. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful care my two fur babies received. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell they were in loving, capable hands. She treated them as if they were her own—giving them constant attention, playing with them, and allowing them the freedom of her home. She also continuously sent us pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and let us see just how happy and comfortable they were. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals truly showed in every interaction. I am beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate pet care.”

She lives far away from my home but I am happy to drive 35 minutes beacuse I know how happy and lived he is with her. She keeps him busy, playing, walking and also trainnes him. He looks so happy when I pick him up. She also sends me informs about him and send pictures and videos. She is very knowledgeable and I trust her a lot. Thank Linda for allowing me to spend wonderful and relaxed days knowing Jackson is happy.”
“Glen was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Jordi! From the very start, he communicated clearly and consistently, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He sent me pictures every day, so I always knew how Jordi was doing. I especially appreciated that Glen was able to give Jordi her epilepsy medication on time without any issues—something that is very important to me. Jordi was not only well cared for but also had such a fun time! She loved playing with Glen’s dogs and spending hours in her favorite spot outside in the yard. It was clear she was happy, comfortable, and treated like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would absolutely recommend Glen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. Jordi can’t wait to go back!”
“🐾 5/5 Stars – A Total Sweetheart & Dog Whisperer! 💕 We were truly blessed to find Daelynn! From the first moment, she was kind, thoughtful, and completely in tune with Asha’s needs. Asha, who can be a little picky with people, took to Daelynn like they were old friends real quick. Dress up time, snuggles and playing for hours with her son❤️ Daelynn didn’t just watch our dog — she genuinely loved on her. We got the cutest updates, sweet photos, and reassurance she was having the time of her life. We joked Asha may want to stay.🤪 It made our hearts so happy knowing Asha was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone responsible, loving, and just an all-around sweetheart to care for your pet, look no further…Daelynn’s your gal! 💗🐶”

Troy and his family were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, Troy was very responsive and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos of Ace, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Ace was well cared for, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. When I arrived to pick him up, he didn’t even want to get in the car! 😂 That alone speaks volumes about the wonderful care and attention he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Troy and his family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again! ❤️🐾
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.

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 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, 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.
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.
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 , 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.
