“Tiffany and her family were wonderful with our anxious big baby Freya. We didn't want to travel without her but the incredibly long road trip to and from in less than a week would have been too much for her. Freya has not spent one day of her life without one of us or her best pal Blue since we adopted her from the Humane Society in Nov 2023. While she struggled for a couple of days, Tiffany and her family gave Freya love, attention, and great patience as she tried to get comfortable. By the time we came to pick her up she had settled in nicely because of Tiffany's efforts. Tiffany's dedication to the well-being of the pups she tirelessly works to make happy while their families are away is unmatched. Tiffany is now forever Aunt Tiffany - if we need to go out of town without Freya again we'll be checking with Tiffany before scheduling our trip to ensure she has room for our big baby. We're so thankful and relieved that Freya has a "camp" now and a safe place away from home when we can't be with her. Thank you Tiffany and family - we can't express how thankful we are for you!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter. The dog park so close to residence was super nice. The amount of attention and love she showed my baby I will never use anyone else!!!!! Penny had the best time.”
“We enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing that Copper was well taken care of. Copper loved sunning in Beverly's large yard. Thanks for the daily photo updates and taking such good care of him!”
“Kugel loves going to Sydney’s so so much. She was flexible when we had to change the pick up time last minute. We love that he usually has another friend or two to play with but not an overwhelming number of dogs.”
“Rachel is fantastic! We have used her service twice now for extended overnight stays and will continue to use her on a regular basis. Our Lily seems almost happier to arrive at Rachel's house than she does when we return to pick her up from being away! Needless to say, this warms our hearts. There is no greater comfort than knowing when we have to be apart from our pets that they are in good, caring hands. We highly recommend Rachel.”
“Baxter our border terrier had the most wonderful stay with Pam and Alfy. He was rather disappointed to come home! It was so reassuring to go away and leave him with somebody knowledgeable about terriers who made him feel so at home . It was also lovely to receive regular updates on how he was settling so we had complete peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the go-to person in my family and friend group when someone needs a pet sitter. I regularly watch my parents’ dogs and my boss’s dog, including overnight stays when they travel. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m used to different personalities and definitely don’t mind a little chaos. 😂 I’ll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and I’ll probably send you a few pictures along the way because I know I’d want them too. 🐾 I’m usually available in the evenings during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or boarding. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine and what works best for you! I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment and always make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I enjoy spending time with pets, playing with them, going for walks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets in their normal routine.
“Savannah was very sweet and professional. She’s been the best sitter I’ve had so far. She watched our dog for 6 days with no issues whatsoever. I would trust her anytime with our animals and will certainly use her again. Thank you Savannah for taking wonderful care of our baby and for such an easy, care free experience!”
“Joli was amazing with Brann. She contacted me every day on how he was and what he had been doing that day. She sent great pictures and let me know how much she and her family enjoyed his company. There was never any doubt in my mind that Brann was in safe and caring hands, even with his special needs. I will absolutely be contacting her again.”
“Taking care of a 7 month old pup is not an easy task who is going through the adolescent time! Puppy came home happy and seemed to have a good time. Dawn answered any questions I had in a timely manner. I was sent daily pictures which was greatly appreciated. Would book again.”
“AJ did a great job making Chase feel welcomed and safe. He did a great job keeping me up to date with how he was doing and sending photos of Chase. Very accommodating and easy to work with.!!!!’”
“Pamela was the best! She accommodated my pup last minute, for a week, AND over the holidays! Her pup Argo and my dog had so much fun together. She texted me updates and pics all week. I’m so thankful and will def be using her again!”
“This is was my first time using a sitter for my puppy and Cynthia was amazing! She sent me photos, reassured me, and treated my tsuki like she was part of the family. I will definitely be requesting her again.”
“Skylar is awesome! She’s attentive, accommodating, and took great care of my Snowdrop. She sent pictures and updates through the day and I never felt worried about my fur baby when she was in her hands. Will definitely book again!”
“I needed a last minute sitter and Leeza and Carlos came to the rescue they took my dog in, Toby, like he was one of their own. And took great care of him even though he can be hyper sometimes, he had a great time and I highly recommend them!”
“Susan did a nice job taking care of my dog Lewey. She gave me daily feedback with a pic. Lewey seemed well cared for and was relaxed when he got home from his stay. I would definitely recommend her.”

Kelly was absolutely amazing with my golden retriever, Leia\! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving Leia in her care\. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs\. Kelly sent me lots of photos and videos throughout Leia’s stay, which I absolutely loved and really put my mind at ease\. Leia looked so happy and relaxed, and I could tell she was being very well cared for\. Kelly was also wonderful to work with , reliable, easy to communicate with, and incredibly flexible\. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog is such a great feeling, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Leia with Kelly again\. I highly recommend her and feel very lucky to have found her\!
This was my first time using Kim for my little guy Bowden. She had him for 5 nights and the 5th night was last minute because of flight delay issues. Kim was very flexible with that last minute change. She was a great communicator and she sent lots of pictures and kept me very up to date. highly recommend!
Joli was amazing with Brann. She contacted me every day on how he was and what he had been doing that day. She sent great pictures and let me know how much she and her family enjoyed his company. There was never any doubt in my mind that Brann was in safe and caring hands, even with his special needs. I will absolutely be contacting her again.
Brooke took amazing care of our 9 month old puppy Bailey Boo who recently had surgery. She had a beautiful home and big back yard for Bailey to enjoy and feel safe in. She was so caring and Bailey took to her right away. Brooke was very flexible and accommodating with Baileys schedule. We highly recommend Brooke and will definitely be using her again when we return to Tampa/St. Pete!!!
Grace was an amazing sitter! Our girls can be a handful and she made us feel at ease and confident she had everything handled. She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, so kind, and was overall a breath of fresh air to work with! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you again! :)
Shaida was amazing! We are so happy we found someone in our area who loves our dogs as much as we do and takes care of them extremely well. Our dogs absolutely loved her. She sent us update photos, played with them and followed the schedule we provided. She is now our go to pet sitter.
I loved the fun updates I got from Kolin and Adam. Every day I looked forward to getting the latest update and photos of Angus. The messages were fun, informative, and gave me a sense of comfort that Angus was being well cared for. They were so open to letting Angus be Angus, whether that meant sunning himself in the backyard or looking out the front window to asses the neighborhood. I never once worried about him, even though we were halfway across the world. They are stellar!
I booked an overnight stay for my sweet little dachshund, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went! She was welcomed right in and treated like part of the family. ❤️❤️ I felt completely comfortable leaving her and knew she was in caring, capable hands. I received updates and could tell Layla was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and will treat your dog like their own, I would definitely recommend her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! 🐾❤️

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.
