“Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.”
“My dog had a great stay with Adam. This was her second stay, and she was so excited to see him and both his dogs again. He even went out of his way to plan a play date between my dog and a dog friend she made on her first visit. My dog will continue to stay with Adam when she needs a sitter!”
“Dana was very loving and kind to our Cocker Spaniel. Her fenced in backyard was a perfect size for exploring, yet staying close to the house. I definitely will be coming back?”
“I am so grateful to Paula and family for taking such good care of my baby. I had a last minute trip and she was so accommodating .She was sitting and enjoying petting when I walked in. I highly recommend Paula.”
“Kira and her family did an amazing job taking care of my pup. Even with a last minute business trip she was willing to watch my dog for 10 days. She sent me updates every day and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will be reaching out again if I have to travel in the future.”
“This was the first time we left our fur baby for an extended time. Sylvia and family took great care of her, loved on her. We loved the daily communication and photos. Thank you much! We will connect with you again for our next trip!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Elijah excellent this was the second time he watched Max was so understanding when I had to extend my days. Kept me updated with Max. I will have him sit with Max again.”
“My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Trinity and Thomas. It gave me peace of mind knowing Trinity works as a vet tech and Thomas works from home, so my dog had plenty of attention. We also did a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure our dogs got along, which I really appreciated. It seemed like my dog got lots of playtime with their dog during her stay. I knew beforehand that their dog might tear up soft toys, so we only brought toys we were okay with parting with. However, one of my dog's hard toys and her food bowl also ended up getting chewed, which is not something my dog usually does. Just keep in mind if you bring any toys or food items that their dog may have access to, they may get chewed on.”
“These two are simply awesome. They loved my dog and my dog loved them. They are very diligent, experienced with animals, and very friendly. The accommodations were wonderful highly recommend.”
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“We cannot thank Erica enough for the care she gave our fuzzy family member. She kept us updated with photos which our son loved getting throughout our time away. Without a doubt we would use Erica again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I love them so dearly and would love to look after your babies! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, high energy and couch potato’s, as well as senior dogs. Most recently lost my own senior dog to cancer so rest assured I am well versed in caring for our sweet elder babies with medical needs who require a bit more supportive care. I love being around animals and would be happy to help care for yours. I work from home and live with my partner who also loves animals! Outside of work I have availability after 5 pm Mon-Fri and am available most weekends. Caring for pets would depend on each independent pet's needs so I’d be happy to discuss what that looks like :) I also live right next to a beautiful and big park which is perfect for walks!
“Very responsive and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Sent me pictures and took very good, loving care of my dog for several days! Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Amy was so wonderful with our fur baby! Usually when we pick our dog up from sitters, she can’t wait to leave. With Amy, she was very excited to see me, but she didn’t have the same frantic energy to leave that she usually does. It’s so reassuring knowing my baby was cared for and loved on by Amy!”
About: I specialize in caring for tiny dogs weighing 15 pounds and under. As a tiny-dog owner, I understand that little dogs have different needs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, hot pavement, larger neighborhood dogs, escape risks, senior mobility, and each dog’s individual comfort level. I offer private walks and drop-in visits tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. I do not walk large groups of unfamiliar dogs together. Your dog gets calm, personal attention. For drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and routine care based on your instructions. I welcome meet-and-greets so I can learn your dog’s personality, habits, fears, favorite things, and normal routine before care begins. I serve tiny-dog families in Sanderson, Glen St. Mary, Macclenny, and nearby areas of Baker County. Pick up and drop off available for a nominal fee. Little dogs. Personal care. Peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, unhurried care for your tiny dog. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled pet care throughout the week. Because I keep my client list intentionally small, I can give each dog plenty of individual attention and follow the routine that makes them feel most comfortable. Safety is especially important with tiny dogs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, gates, doors, hot pavement, larger dogs, and other risks that can be more serious for a small dog. I follow your feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions carefully and never force interaction with unfamiliar dogs. My goal is calm, secure, individualized care that helps both you and your dog feel comfortable.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Sampson 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 Sampson 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 Sampson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sampson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sampson 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
