“Excellent! Rose is an experience dog sitter. She 2 puppies of her own. One of them is 19 years old. Rose provided frequent updates and pictures. Our Maltese Mixed breed was a happy camper. Rose tought our pup how to jump through hoops, etc. She has a large and secure backyard. We will definitely use Rose (& George) again. Thanks Rose 🙏🏽”
“Ashe has stayed twice with Elisa. I am very pleased to see him so happy when we returned. Elise has a great knowledge of dogs' behavior and she loves animals. Elise was very flexible and helpful as we have been dealing with a long-distance move Elisa agreed to extended the stay as we needed”
“Puedes escribirlo de una manera más natural y profesional en inglés: She was very kind, caring, and communicative. She paid close attention to Nala’s needs and kept us informed, which gave us great peace of mind. We were extremely satisfied with her service and would definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Nicole sent daily pics and report and my pooch was well cared for. I have a very timid dog, she did fine and no stress when she came home. Nicole was very accomodating and helpful when I had some plan interruptions.”
“Overall great experience. Booked very last minute and she accommodated. Very easy to talk too, and took photos and videos. Only issue is our dog wore his harness an extended amount of time and he bite through it in multiple places. I will now have to buy a new one. Other than that I plan to book her in the future again. 😊”
“We loved our experience with sarah. She took amazing care of Lyla over Christmas, and we had total peace of mind knowing she was so well loved. Couldn’t recommend her more and would 100% book again”
“I met with Mike to introduce my furbaby to him and his home. First he has two fur babies of his own they are so sweet. Ace immediately fit into the pack and loved Mike. He has a fenced in yard even has a doggie pool ?. I was impressed he trains K9 dogs for the government (this come in handy because Ace is a baby still and is still training. We were all set for the dates I booked. I had an emergency contacted Mike for a one night stay and he graciously accepted. Ace met two other schnauzers and they went hiking. He sent pictures and videos of Ace to assure me he was doing well. I feel so blessed to have found Mike (his wife is awesome to ?) Although I hate to write this review for selfish reason ???? (I want him all to myself) everyone should know he’s caring, loving and loves what he does… Thanks Mike ?”
“Couldn't have asked for abetted 1st time experience with using Rover and choosing David! Super polite, and my fur babies loved him. He went over and above and I will only be booking with him for the foreseeable future.”
About: Pet care isn’t a hobby for me—it’s my main job—so my time and attention are fully focused on the dogs I care for. I understand how important trust and reliability are when leaving your pet with someone else. My goal is to create loving environment where your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my primary job and my schedule is fully dedicated to the dogs I watch. This allows me to give each dog consistent attention, care, and supervision in a safe and loving environment. Whether your dog is staying overnight in your home or boarding with me, they’ll receive consistent care, supervision, and plenty of love throughout the day and night. I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine with meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime, helping them feel comfortable and at home.
“Lauren is friendly, personable and knows a lot about pets and their personalities. Our experience was great and her communication about our dog put us as ease. Our dog is anxious and he adapted well. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“What a great experience working with Jeanette. My dog loved being in her home and around the other dogs. Priced very reasonably and above average service and commitment. I received regular updates and even pictures. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own, and wanting to care for and love other dogs, I’ve decided to open my home to yours. I’m a teacher so I’m free all over the summer and usually I can have your pal on holidays too, that way u can enjoy your vacation I have a dance yard, your dog can have a time outside… we love gods and will take care of them while you are taking care of yourself
About: Growing up I always had pets, if the house didn't have a pup it just wasn't right. I continued that as an adult. I love dogs and I enjoy taking care of them. I am retired. I am at my house most of time. I only run out for quick errands. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. I have a fenced yard and two King Charles Cavaliers that like to play a little and meet new friends. I never leave the dogs outside in the fence alone.
“Corri was the best! She took such great care of our dog and he felt right at home with her and her to labs. She has a really great environment for dog sitting and is very knowledgeable about dogs and hey whenever you wanna stop you, just let us know behind you guys so you can control the speed their behavior..”

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
