“Nina was a great sitter for my lab Aja. I had to leave town for an emergency and she worked with me to get my dog taken care of. Her communication was excellent and kept me posted a couple of times a day on how Aja was doing. She also sent me pictures and videos of the dog which I was able to show my ailing wife. I only had an hour notice before I had to leave and Nina worked with my schedule to accommodate my needs. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Catherine is amazing. She is flexible and considerate-she took my fur baby (Hunter) 30 minutes earlier than we've agreed upon without any hesitation. She sent updates and pictures at least twice a day. I never have to wonder what's going on because she kept me informed. Catherine has two of her own, which is a bonus for us because they are also small breed and friendly. They were great together. Hunter was anxious on his first night but Catherine knew just what to do. Catherine treated my baby like her own. She took Hunter for a walk twice a day, and on top of that, she has let him out in her fenced yard for a quick fresh air between those walks. Catherine has a calm demeanor and very professional. Today, my flight arrival was slightly delayed so I was rushing. I came to pick up Hunter a few minutes late. Coming from a long flight, it was a great relief that she was very understanding and that she had Hunter, on a lease with his belongings all set and ready to go. As if she knew I needed my precious restful sleep ASAP. Catherine's awesome didn't end there, we got home and found out that she sent us a bag of goodies for Hunter. Catherine is simply the best! I can't imagine anyone else can do better than that! Highly recommended!”
“Jason was wonderful with our dog, Sparky! He was caring, thoughtful, and enthusiastic! He sent us updates, videos, and photos multiple times throughout the day! Sparky interacted with his dog, Cooper, like they were best friends! In fact, we have agreed to allow Sparky and Cooper to maintain their friendship through playdates on a regular basis! We would definitely have Jason care for Sparky again should the need arise and recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable and excellent boarder for their dog!”
“Kelsie was wonderful with Tucker! She sent pictures everyday and he was living his best life with her! He got a scratched on his nose and she told me what happened, sent a picture so I could see, and put some salve on it. I will use her again for sure.”
“Pamela is a real dog whisperer. She is great with our border collie. It’s a dog party when Yoshi visits! I 10/10 recommend. I feel extremely comfortable with leaving Our Boy in her care. He has a "pawsome” time with her and her flock of doggles.”
“Salenia took in our Golden Retriever for 7 days of boarding, on short notice after a last minute cancellation from a previous sitter. We were thrilled with her care of our Carolina, and looked forward to her daily communications including pictures and videos. We enjoyed seeing Carolina’s various activities and facial expressions via Salenia’s daily texts, and we could tell Carolina was enjoying herself in these otherwise unfamiliar surroundings. The meet & greet prior to our vacation was the perfect way to get Carolina familiar with the property and put our mind at ease with Salenia’s caring nature. We’ll certainly call on Salenia again for our next trip, if we need to leave Carolina in good hands. She’s an amazing caregiver.”
“EXCELLENT!!! ROSA & her family provided lots of love and care for our 2y Maltese Mixed breed O'Pi. Their puppy Mochi, is best friends with O'Pi. This family has over 20y of canine experience. As new pet parents, we get lots of pictures and valuable insights and recommendations. Rose is always available for a quick consultation or question. They have become our 1st option. 💯”
“We booked Laura short notice, and she was awesome! It’s the first time we’d left our dog with someone that wasn’t a close friend, so we were really nervous about it, but it turned out great! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated daily, and most importantly loved and took care of our little Jelly Bean like she was her own. We will definitely use her again!”
“Athena seemed to really enjoy staying here! Jada was amazing and very quick to respond, which really eased my nerves about leaving her. Athena will definitely be coming back! 😊”
“Xan watched our 11 yr. old Maltese twice and we could not be luckier to have found her. She is definitely an animal lover and her pups are adorable and very well behaved. My little guy isn't the most social but he got along very well at Xan's apartment. I would highly recommend her and we will be asking her to watch Yeyo again.”
“We had a great experience with them this weekend. They were responsive, easy to coordinate with, and kept me updated with messages/photos. Most importantly, my dog seemed comfortable and happy in their care. Highly recommend, we’ll be repeat clients.”
About: I have a passion for caring for dogs, and I will love your dog as if it’s my own. I provide a lot of attention to dogs and will treat the dog exactly as the owner would want. I only have class Tuesday and Thursday. I walk every day, therefore, I would take your dog with me. I enjoy hanging and playing with dogs and will sit with the dog on the couch and give him/her pets! I have a big apartment with plenty of room for the dog to explore. There is a yard for the dog to sniff around in with a leash on. I would feed him/her breakfast/dinner and would take great care of them!
“Yasmin took such great care of my fur baby while I was away! She kept up with his schedule perfectly, followed my guidelines for his care and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When we reunited, he was in such great spirits and acted like he had an amazing little vacation of his own. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“Oakley had the best time with Cesarina and Leo! Drop off and pick up were easy and and Oakley loved his stay. Definitely would recommend Cesarina and I know Oakley is looking forward to another stay.”
“Excellent care given by Kimberly and James! They took the best care of my Shih Tzu while we were away and even hand fed her when she wouldn’t eat. I will definitely book with them again and would recommend them to anyone!”

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 .
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.
