“Coco had a great time with Daniel and his pups! They were great at communicating, and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. Coco got to play with his friendly pups and was well taken care of. Thank you Daniel!”
“My doggies stayed several days with Ashley, Jacob and E and were outstanding sitters. My dogs were well taken care of, having plenty of playtime, belly rubs & cuddles.”
“Laurie fit us in at the last minute and was wonderful. She communicates quickly, confirms times, and was willing to accommodate us. Lainey (0ur dog) is a social dog who loves being outside. With Laurie’s pack, she was happy. She came home and slept all day! Would definitely use again.”
“Andrea was a God send! My husband and I did and 8 day roadtrip through yellowstone and Grand Teton. She and her husband kept our maltipoo Joon. Joon made friends with their 2 dogs and had the best time playing the entire time. Andrea sent updates and pictures everyday and I felt so relieved to know she was in such good hands. We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Brett and his girls did an amazing job taking care of my dog. Brett sent photos throughout the stay and I felt confident that she was in great hands and being taken care of like she was there own. I will definitely be asking them again in the future.”
“Caroline and her family were very kind and patient with our husky, with it being her first time staying with someone else. She kept us updated on how our pup was doing with plenty of pictures. Definitely couldn’t recommend her more!!”

“Ripley enjoyed his trip and all the other dogs that he got to meet and play with. The Couple who watched him were phenomenal with him. They also sent lots of pictures every day of his activities.I will definitely use again.”
About: A Home Away From Home for Your Dog 🐾 Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives. In May 2026, we said goodbye to our beloved Chihuahua-mix rescue, Shredderz. The hole he left in our hearts is enormous. We aren’t ready for another lifelong dog just yet, but we also know that our love for dogs isn’t going anywhere. So we found a way to keep dogs in our lives while giving them something wonderful in return: a true home away from home. We love to travel, and we’ve learned firsthand how difficult it can be to travel with a dog. And when your dog is family, traditional boarding just doesn’t feel like an option. That’s actually what inspired us to create The Doghouse Inn, a dog-themed vacation rental we owned from 2022–2025. We didn’t just allow dogs. We designed the experience around them. They had their own room, a literal dog castle made of beds, and a dog park in the backyard. 🐶🏰 We learned something during those years: dogs deserve to feel like welcome guests, too. Now we’d love to offer that same feeling to your dog in our home. When your pup stays with us, they’re not being tucked away in a kennel or treated like an afterthought. They’ll be part of our home, our routine, and our day. We’ll give them attention, affection, playtime, cozy places to nap, and all the little comforts that help them feel secure while you’re away. And because we’ve loved and lost a dog ourselves, we understand something else very deeply: Leaving your dog with someone is an act of trust. We don’t take that trust lightly. We’re not trying to replace Shredderz. We’re simply opening a door that he helped us discover: sometimes loving dogs means loving the ones who need a safe place to stay, too. If you’re looking for a home away from home where your dog will be genuinely loved and cared for while you’re traveling, we’d be honored to welcome them. ❤️🐾 We both work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. Our schedules also give us flexibility, and when one of us has a commitment outside the home, the other stays behind. We love having dogs as part of our daily routine and are happy to include them in our work-from-home day. 🐾 We have a spacious 2,000-square-foot home on its own property with a completely fenced-in backyard and a screened-in pool. There are no other pets in our home, and we only board one family’s dogs at a time, so your dog gets our full attention without having to share the space with other boarding dogs. Our quiet, safe neighborhood has sidewalks for easy walks, and there’s a park about a mile away. Our fenced yard also gives dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs and run some serious zoomies. 🐾 We have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and truly enjoy having them in our home. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog can settle in and feel at home while you’re away.
“I cannot say enough about Bruce and his attention to my Oreo. Bruce was extremely organized and attentive to my dog while I traveled. My mind was at ease knowing that he was in good hands. Bruce sent pictures multiple times a day and updates on Oreo’s adjustment while I was away. I will definitely use him again! Thanks Bruce!”
“Treasure took amazing care of my needy blue heeler for the second time! My pup was super happy to be back and hanging out in the fenced-in backyard again. Treasure kept me informed every day and sent lots of great pictures! Definitely recommend, we'll be back.”
“Confesora and her family were amazing. They are so caring and understanding about my dog needs. My 5 year old Beagle Cupid can sometimes be a handful, although he truly is a sweetheart. I explained all his quirks, and they welcomed him with open arms. She allowed us to do a meet and greet, and from the very beginning Cupid felt comfortable and safe in their home, which says a lot, because he often gets anxious when meeting new people. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you all for your love and care. God bless you! ❤️”
“Overall great experience. Quick to respond and took the initiative to send pictures everyday. The home was beautiful and I felt very safe leaving my puppy for a few nights.”
“When I met Amber, I could immediately tell how much Amber loved Animals! When we got Benjamin back he was full of joy and that’s a clear sign that we was treated well. I will be booking with Amber in the future!”
About: Along with dogs and cats I also have experience with exotic and farm animals! I love the outdoors and I have a lot of patience. I’m currently working part time, its technician work so getting to have the other half of my work hours come from something peaceful, like working with animals, would be a blessing. I appreciate, follow and respect the rules. I have my own pet and I would watch you pets with the same level attention and care.
“Carmin did a wonderful job with our 11 year old dog, Poppy, over the Thanksgiving holiday. I really appreciated the extra time and care she took with our anxious doggy . She sent photos and updates to us that were very much appreciated. Thank you, Carmin, for your top notch care!”

Juan provided services for us for our nearly 1 month vacation overseas. We needed someone reliable, caring and attentive, Juan fit that hat perfectly. Thanks to Juan and his superb dog boarding we could be practically a world away and still get regular updates/pictures. He also took care of our newest addition to our family, our puppy Chewie who was not even 6months old and provided him loving care while also giving him structure to learn and grow. Thanks again we will be using Juan in the future.
Holly was absolutely amazing. She took my dogs in last minute for 3 days and nights without hesitation, which meant more to me than she probably knows. From the moment I left them with her, I felt at ease. She sent pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, including updates from every walk. She took them on multiple walks daily and kept them very active. She even cooked food for them and treated them with so much love and care — like they were her own children. That level of attention and accommodation is rare. I’m beyond impressed and genuinely grateful. Holly has such a vibrant, kind personality and it shows in how she cares for animals. My dogs clearly loved her, and that tells me everything. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Theresa and her entire family take such good care of Senga! (who is "selectively social") Additionally they have an instinctual ability to know when certain dogs are good to play together and when they may need time alone. I can relax and enjoy my vacation knowing everyone is happy and safe!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
