“Kayla was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. Meeting with her, her kids, and Loki, we were instantly comfortable with leaving our girls with her for the week--we just knew they'd be in great hands. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated, we enjoyed getting all the photos of our girls. We will definitely use her services again, she was awesome! ?”
“We left our Lab with Terrie for six nights while we were out of state. Not ONE single second did I spend stressing/worrying as to how he was getting along. She kept me informed and took lots of pics to share. He was ONE happy boy! I wish I had found her sooner. You can tell she is a TRUE lover of dogs-and we love her too❤️”
“Alex is great! Everything you'd want in a host - very responsive, flexible about timing for drop. off and pick-up, and a genuine animal lover. He sent adorable pictures of Bosun during his stay, and when I picked him I could tell he'd had a good time and been in great hands :) I will definitely use Alex again to watch Bosun and would recommend her to others.”
“Dilly loved her week long stay with Gypsy. And I loved the frequent pics and videos Gypsy sent (confirming to me that my dog was safe and happy). Gypsy will be my 1st choice whenever we need to board Dilly again and I recommend her highly.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a devoted dog owner for nearly my entire life and understand that every dog deserves patience, love, and dependable care. I had the privilege of loving my dog, Pirate, for 14 wonderful years, and I've cared for my Labrador, Milo, for the past six years. They have taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and recognizing each dog's unique personality and needs. After recently saying goodbye to Pirate and helping my daughter by returning Milo to her care, my home in Florida has become much quieter. I genuinely miss the companionship that dogs bring, which is why I decided to join Rover. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or a safe and loving place while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in kind, responsible, and experienced hands. I work full time typically 4 days a week. I am home during work days after 4:30pm. I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have a partially fenced in backyard, but access to the left of my home to my neighors, it is a small backyard and very safe. I also have a dog park for walks and exercise.
“I am really grateful that I found Ven to provide care for Precious. I received photos and updates on their time together which made me feel comfortable during my time away from my pup. Ven provided a perfect home and made sure that Precious felt like she was at home.”
“We were extremely impressed with Javier & Milagros! This was our first time leaving Dante with someone since he joined our family and they took very good care of him and we truly appreciated the morning & evening daily pics and videos. Dante has a home away from home at Javier & Milagros' house. Thanks/Gracias!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Halee and I have been involved in the care of dogs my entire life. My parents always had dogs growing up and when I graduated nursing school and moved out on my own I adopted my first baby, Finn. He is my life and my soul dog. He is leash reactive so I have lots of experience with reactivity and resource guarding. I adopted my second dog from orange county animal services after fostering her. I volunteered at OCAS for several years and now am a foster coordinator through furever bully love rescue. I work M-F typically with semi flexible hours. I typically work until 3pm Monday through Thursday with a half day Friday. I can do early visits most days and afternoon and evening visits all days. Weekends I am usually fully available! My fiance is also an avid dog lover and loves to help out too! When I am caring for a dog, I care for them like they are my own. My dogs Finn & Nyah are my life and I’d go to the ends of earth for them; and I’ll do the same for your baby. They will always be supervised, played with, loved, and have plenty of food and water… and treats if allowed :-)
“Luisa and Bill were great puppy parents while our family was out of town. They took great care of Tyson, our 12 week old American Bully. They helped with keeping his schedule and training! We were so grateful to have found them to watch our little guy! We will be using again when the time comes!”
“Marie was amazing! Our pups had such a great time. We were always updated on how they were doing and what they were up to. She has a huge fenced in yard which they loved. We already have her booked for an upcoming trip!”
“Cristen and her family were wonderful with my dog Midnight. He has separation anxiety, so they made sure he was not alone and gave him lots of love. I appreciate them very much!”
“Convenient, reassuring, and secure It is our first time using Rover, and I found it convenient, fast, and secure. I have a choice of many sitters, their relative locations, fees, and reviews. Lots of communication with sitter beforehand. Payment is made through Rover, but you don't know last names or exact addresses until after you've booked. We had a great sitter, friendly and understanding. We paid a tip at pickup, but Rover has the option to add it after the booking is over. We'll continue to use Rover, it saves a lot of anxiety about leaving your dog with a new person. Sherry C. is more than just dog sitter, she cares, is communicative and goes beyond. She sends me picture of my dog and his situation, which made me feel more comfortable and secure for our future continuation of dog care relationship with her. My dog came home tired, quiet but not injured. Thank you, Sherry C.”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a young teenager and have since taken care of my own fur babies for the past 8 years. I also have veterinary experience as I currently am a Veterinary Assistant with 3 years of experience. You can rest assured that your pets are safe with me and would be treated as my own. Allow me to alleviate a possible stressor in your travels by being a trusted pet sitter for your fur family. I understand from first hand experience with my own that each fur baby can be different and require additional needs, I am willing and capable of catering the service I provide to be as best as it can for your particular fur baby. Comfortable and experienced with Dogs, Cats, and some smaller exotics (Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, etc). I currently work full-time at a vet clinic, however, I am fully available Wednesdays and Sundays with 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month being available as well. Even with work, I am able to make early morning, afternoon, and evening trips during my work days as well, if needed, as I start at 8am, take lunch 12-1pm and then am off by 6pm. For boarding stays, your fur-baby will be in their own dedicated room that will contain their food, water, bedding, and any additional necessities you’d like them to have with them. Mondays and Saturdays are the only days they would be by themselves in their room, however, they would still be taken out in the morning (before 7:30am), during my lunch break (12-1pm), and after work (6pm). The rest of the week, my partner (who also has been in the veterinary field) works from home in the same room your fur-baby would stay in and will be assisting with monitoring them while I’m away for work. I have experience with strict and more relaxed feeding instructions and specifications. I also have experience giving medications as well as bathing. From fenced backyards to leashed potty-breaks, I have you covered. While I have my own fur-babies, you can rest assure that your own baby will be kept in their dedicated room while staying for boarding with us (unless specifically given approval to mingle with my fur-babies during potty-time/play-time)
“I last minute needed an overnight sitter for my dog Paco while passing through Orlando. Sarahi and Leandro communicated quickly with me, have reasonable rates, were kind, sent lots of pictures and a video of Paco, have a nice fenced in backyard, and gifted us a thank you note for letting them watch my kiddo. I was able to enjoy my time in Orlando without being worried about my dog, I knew he was being well taken care of. I would definitely use their services again.”
“Rachel took great care of our kitty when we had to go out of town for 10 days. She sent daily updates with pics and videos. Luna is a shy cat and doesn’t like new environments but was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her there again.”
“My dog Jack had a great time with Janell. He loved running around in the yard, and he got a lot of one on one attention and snuggle time. I also really appreciated Janell’s prompt and clear communication, including daily updates and pics. Thanks again!! We’ll definitely be back. :)”
“Megan is fantastic. She is a true pet professional. I felt at ease having her watch my dog for a long weekend. You can tell when you meet her that she understands animals and their needs. Her family is lovely and they all took good care of my dog. When I have boarded my dog at veterinary clinics or big corporate boarding places, she comes home nervous and frankly, worn out. When I picked her up from Megan's house I feel like she wanted to stay there longer. She came home and was her regular self. Megan provides a home away from home for your pet. I am so happy to have her to watch my furry family member in the future. Thanks Megan!”

We had a great experience! She was very understanding of Susy’s needs and adapted to her personality and behavior. Susy is not always an easy dog, especially now that she’s getting older, so we really appreciated her patience and the way she gave Susy the space she needed to feel comfortable!
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!

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.
