“Cynthia and her family are amazing! Cynthia was in contact with me daily for updates and pictures. She made sure my dog was well taken care of and felt right at home. I highly recommend Cynthia for any and all future visits. She and her family will take care of your dog like they are their own and make you feel more than comfortable about leaving your pup for a few days!”
“Viviana and her husband were great with our little Milo; I wasn't sure that he wanted to leave when we picked him up. Viviana sent pictures and was very communicative during Milo's stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will leave Milo with her again if the opportunity arises.”
“We love Celea! My French Bulldog, Winston has stayed with her several times and he really enjoys being there! I trust her so much- we even went on a 7 day cruise with zero worries because I knew my fur baby was in good hands. She is an animal lover with a big heart and a lot of patience. So grateful we found her and she lives so close to us. Excellent communication and she always sends pictures and videos 💜 🐾”
“Maria watched my puppy, it was the first time I left him and first time he ever stayed with anyone else. She did amazing! Kept me up to date even though my responses were limited due to cell service. She made him feel at home and I knew he was well watched over. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“Yanjing was fantastic! Our dog Marina stayed for 12 days and had a blast. Marina was well cared for by Yanjing and family. Yanjing is a great communicator, speedy responses, posted pics and easy going. Marina cannot wait to come back!”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“Maggie was taken care of really well. She was played with and loved. I really love the pictures that were sent, and they really ease my anxiety for leaving Maggie May. Only the second time in her five years of living. I would highly recommend any one to use Meltem, as I plan to in the future.”
“We are so happy with this booking! It was a last minute request, and they were so accommodating. We received multiple updates and photos throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie also had so much fun with Maui! We already have our next booking placed with them in 2 weeks. :)”

“Karen is fantastic! My boy loved staying with her - he even played fetch with her after the first day, a rarity for him (and a clear sign he likes someone). Karen was highly communicative, flexible, and just so pleasant to deal with. I felt Pax was in the best of hands. Highly recommend!”

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
