“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience with Penny’s stay! Jacquelyn kept us informed throughout the entire booking and provided regular updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Penny was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and we truly appreciated the attention and care she received. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“My three shih tzu boys loved staying with Angela and Kenneth. It was their first time ever staying with someone who was not already known to them (family). We set up a meet and greet prior to the stay and I felt immediately at ease upon meeting this lovely couple and you could tell the pups felt at home. During the scheduled stay I was sent pictures throughout the day and I know the boys loved the walks and snuggles. Thank you so much!!”
“Kathy is a gem and Banksy made a new friend with my boy Chubbs. Chubbs was very happy and engaged which means he truly was loved on. Think we found our permanent sitter.”
“Carla was amazing with our sweet boy!!! This was our first time leaving him and she took such great care of him! She sent me many videos and photos of him and that made me feel at ease while on vacation. I highly recommend her and this will be Brownie’s go to place for sure whenever we travel!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 15 years old. Friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with puppies, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I have two friendly Poodles and a Pomeranian and always do slow, controlled introductions to make sure every pet feels comfortable. If a dog prefers space, I can easily separate them. I also offer crate care if needed and follow your pet’s routine closely. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Awesome sitter and life saver. I had to do a last minute stay and Haley was able to accommodate my dog and took great care of him. He was very happy and clearly enjoyed his time at her place. Will definitely recommend her and will take my dog back again!! 🐶🐕🐕”
“Anastacia was great and took really good care of my puppy. She made everything easy and I didn’t have to worry about a thing while I was on vacation. Thank youuuuu”

“Our little 2 pound, 12 week old puppy stayed with Audrey and Joe for 4 days. He had so much fun playing with their pups. They sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again when we are in the area.”
“Tucker had an amazing time while staying with Margarita and Carissa. We are pretty sure that he had as good vacation as we did. Their son was Tucker‘s best playmate. We would highly recommend Margarita and Clarissa for anyone in the area needing a safe and loving home for their pet. Thank you again for the love and care.❤️. Bonus, they have an amazing backyard!”
“Natalie and her husband take such good care of my 2 pups! They have so much fun playing with their dogs and always come home exhausted but happy. I will definitely keep using them in the future. Absolutely adore how they treat my dogs like their own (: 10/10”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter to my little pug! My pug is older in age, and she was very kind and attentive to any needs that he had. I would definitely recommend her to a friend, and would use her again next time we go out of town. Thank you Rachel!”
“Highly recommend! My pup had been attacked unprovoked in the past and Grant was so patient & kind with Shay and my own anxieties. His pup Koda is so sweet and they were best friends! 100% will use Grant again.”

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.

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 .
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.

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.
