“Samantha and her family were just terrific with my dog Ripple. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for an excellent doggie sitter.”
“First time leaving Skye with Sandra. She updated us throughout the stay with pictures. Skye came back happy. She had so much fun with Sandra and the other dogs! We will definitely be using Sandra again! Thanks so much!”
“My dogs really enjoyed their visit with Natasha and Gaspare. It was so nice to receive pictures every night. If I am in this area again I will definitely use them again.”
“Olga is the BEST! My dogs feel she is their 2nd family and rush to her door every time they are dropped off to her. I always have peace of mind going away when they are in her care,”
“Belle had a great time with Thomas and Lyndsay. We had to leave town for 4 days for my son's wedding. They sent photos and were very easy to get in touch with.”
“Claudia was amazing our dog loved her time there and she made our vacation a lot less stressful with constant updates along with pictures and videos. Definitely would recommend her to anyone and would 100% use her again myself!”
“Beata did a great job accommodating for my dogs. There were some scheduling issues that she went the extra mile to fix which was really appreciated. The dogs loved her and I would definitely use her again!”
“Destony watched our boy Ace twice now! She is so skilled and highly knowledgeable! She was able to watch Ace the second time within a minutes notice while I had to go deliver my baby early due to severe preeclampsia. She not only took care of him on short notice, but also took extra time to bathe him and clip his nails, exercise him and everything. He came back a happy handsome boy! She sent photos and communicated everyday! Really couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our Ace!”
“This was my first time to use Rover. I was pretty skeptical that I would find the right person for the long stay needed. HOWEVER, I could NOT have found a better match than Stephanie and her family! From the start, she made the process so easy. I met with her before the drop off and immediately felt at ease, a weight lifted off my shoulders. Knowing my dogs would be left in good care made me feel so much better about leaving my them behind. They had never stayed with anyone nor at an unfamiliar home before this stay. Stephanie kept me updated and sent pics daily. I never worried about how they were doing or felt uncomfortable about them while I was away. After my pick up, I was sure my dogs would be excited to see me after a week of being away. BUT that was not the case, it was as if they were disappointed to be home with me after that stay!! I could tell, my dogs were treated very well and enjoyed the care Stephanie and her family provided my dogs. Although it took awhile for my dogs to come around after being home, it made me happy to know they felt comfortable with Stephanie! I highly recommend Stephanie for any pet services.”
“Barrett was an amazing dog sitter! Our dogs had a wonderful time going on walks and swimming in his pool. We were sent photos and updates throughout our trip. It was very comforting knowing my dogs were with someone who really took care of them. Thank you again!”
“Tia helped us out last minute and truly went above and beyond. Communication was great and it was clear our dog was in excellent hands. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Tia to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Elaine was great! Her place and clean and comfy perfect for the pups! She sent great photos and updates daily. Our pups loved playing with her daughter as well! Would definitely book again!”
“Blue came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly cared for. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your fur baby, but Melissa made it easy. We’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Yani is hands down the best person you can have care for your pet. I was very hesitant with finding someone to watch my 2 year old bully Zaya because it was her second time ever being boarded and she has separation anxiety. Yani was very quick with her response time and was able to accept my last minute request before a busy holiday. From the moment we met she was very nice and attentive to my list of info and tips with handeling zaya. She took her time to let zaya feel her out and get comfortable, which didn’t take long at all considering she usually can be stand-off ish with people at times. She welcomed me into her home which was well kept and had a nice big yard for the dogs. Communication was great throughout my whole trip which put me at ease. Zayas tail was wagging in each video and she looked more than at home. When I picked zaya up, she was in great spirits and definitely seemed like she enjoyed her stay. Overall it was an excellent experience, I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone who needs care for their pet and I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and a stay-at-home wife which means I’m Always Home your pet will have 24/7 Care & Attention and the love they deserve your pet will never be left alone. I also used to volunteer at a local pet shelter, where I gained experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I grew up with all kinds of animals cats dogs, turtles birds I now have a small dog that I've raised from a puppy, giving me firsthand experience with training, patience, and providing loving daily care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to follow their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while you're away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a stay-at-home pet sitter, your dog will have my full, undivided attention 24/7 and will never be left alone. Our daily routine is completely flexible and tailored to your pup's specific needs, but a typical day includes frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, fun playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of couch cuddles while I'm at home. We will go on leisurely walks around the neighborhood, and because my schedule is entirely open, I can easily maintain your dog's exact feeding, medication, and sleep routines from home. Your pup will truly be treated like a member of the family! To ensure every pet receives the highest level of safety, comfort, and dedicated attention, my base rates are tailored for fully socialized, small-to-medium dogs. Because larger breeds (50+ lbs) and pups with separation anxiety, reactivity, or special medical needs require extra physical management, hyper-vigilance, and specialized care routines, an additional premium is applied to their stays. This ensures I can dedicate the focused energy and time necessary to keep your furry family member completely safe and happy. Please feel free to reach out with your dog's specific needs, and I would be happy to provide a personalized quote!" Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy time outside, along with a spacious three-bedroom home that gives pets plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I also have a friendly small Shihpoo who has been raised from a puppy and gets along well with other dogs. I will always supervise pets, follow your care instructions closely, and do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while they're in my care.

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.
96% of sitters in Sanibel 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 Sanibel home-away-from-home, 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 Sanibel.
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.
You and your Sanibel 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 , 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 .
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.
