About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over two decades. Caring for animals is truly my passion, and I take pride in providing a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every dog in my care. From gentle senior dogs to energetic pups, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine—including feeding schedules, walks, and plenty of affection. I treat every dog like family! I structure my daily routine around providing full attention and dedicated care for pets. Because I have a flexible day-to-day schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, playtimes, feeding times, and companionship so your dog never feels lonely or anxious while you are away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have two sweet dogs of my own (a energetic 3-year-old and a gentle 14-year-old senior) and a child in my home who is very respectful and loving with animals. I maintain a clean, secure, and friendly environment. I carefully follow all feeding and care instructions, ensuring every pet feels happy and well cared for!
“It's always a bit stressful to leave your pups with someone new, but Tamara is kind, patient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Both dogs took to her very quickly and were clearly well cared for while we were gone. Tamara responded to messages quickly (before and during their stay), and made sure to keep us updated with pics and notes on how they were both doing. Highly recommended!”

“I felt very secure with Linda taking care of my dog over the weekend. My dog immediately took to her and was happy and affectionate towards her when he returned also. I know he got a lot of snuggle time which he needed.”

“She was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. Epic had such a great time and absolutely loved it! I could tell he was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Epic again! 🐾💕”

“Allyssa, her husband, and their puppy Ezzy were very friendly and took good care of Dreamsicle (cat) during the 8 night stay. Allyssa provided pictures & updates throughout the whole stay. They have a nice clean home & super sweet people. Will definitely have them sit for my cat again!! Highly recommend.”


“Donna is not your ordinary dog sitter. She is amazing!!! Noodles, my 15 yo dachshund had only ever stayed in our home with neighbors or friends watching her up until November of this year. Then we found the Donna the doggie angel! She not only spoils my doggie she sends photos and updates everyday. I would highly recommend Donna.”

“Nattalie was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, sent me daily updates and photos, and took great care of my dog. I came home to a happy, calm pup who was clearly well looked after. I’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Gaby is amazing! She made sure my pup was comfortable, happy, cared for and loved on. He can be anxious or shy but she knew exactly how to get him out of his shell. She sends updates with pictures and videos and takes her job seriously, treating my pup like family. Rest assure when you book with Gaby your fur baby will be loved and taken excellent care of. I think my pup misses her and her family already!”

“🐾 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! 💗🐶”

“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”
“I cannot recommend Lynn enough! She always goes above and beyond when caring for Celine and treats her as if she were her own. Celine is always happy, well-loved, and well taken care of when she’s with her. For this stay, Lynn watched my dog for the weekend of my wedding. On the day of my wedding, she went out of her way to bring my dog so that I could capture some photos with her before the ceremony. That thoughtful gesture meant the world to me and made an already special day even more memorable. Reliable, caring, and truly exceptional. Lynn is the best dog sitter I could ever ask for!”

“Chris did an unbelievable job watching my long-haired German Shepherd for four days, and then two extra days when my schedule got pushed back! From the moment we pulled up, Chris welcomed him like family and made him feel completely at home. Anyone with a long-haired GSD knows they require extra attention, especially with brushings, mental engagement, and energy management, but Chris handled everything effortlessly. When I found out I needed to stay gone two additional days, Chris did not hesitate at all. He was beyond flexible and accommodated the extension right away, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The real proof was at pickup. My dog was so happy, relaxed, and comfortable that he honestly did not want to leave! Finding someone you can truly trust with a big, high-maintenance dog is rare, but Chris goes above and beyond. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter, book with Chris immediately. You and your pup will be so glad you did!”

“Runy was responsive and reliable when we needed not only a dog sitter for one night, but a manger for our sweet 13yr old boston terrier while she was the flower girl in our wedding ceremony. You can tell she really loves animals and it was easy to trust her with our baby. Thank you, Runy! 🌸”

“Once again, our dog had the best time and care with Bibiana. Our dog was so excited to go there when we said Bibiana’s name. Bibiana always takes great care of Luna and sends frequent updates.”

“Thank you so much for you and your family taking King in. He was always smiles and is so calm after picking him up. I really appreciate everything you and your family did and I hope you and the kids enjoyed the company. He is a really a huge lap dog 😂 thank you again for everything”

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
