“Sarah was such a life saver for me when I was in the area. She took great care of my dog Roo and sent so many pictures and videos throughout Roo’s stay. I felt so at ease knowing Roo was being well taken care of like she was one of their own. Will definitely have them sit for us again!”
“Diana was incredibly personable and reassuring as this was our first time leaving Cooper at another home. Even though it was just an overnight stay she still managed to send three pictures and updates during his time with her so we could see he was doing just fine!”
“Louisa was fantastic and very responsive when we had a last minute emergency need for a sitter. She always sent pictures of the dogs and provided a great peace of mind knowing she was out the house to both me and my fiancee. I will definitely have her back for any future plans!”
“Andrea took such good care of Forrest! She is so sweet and attentive. I especially alpreciated that she kept me updated all weekend with photos and videos. You can tell her love for animals. Will be rebooking!”

About: I’m a Legal Assistant Monday through Friday but a full time animal lover 24/7! I have one dog, Daisy and two cats, Calypso and Chevy and 20 chickens. I also have experience with rabbits & hamsters. I worked at an animal hospital for 2 years. During that time, I acquired the skills of animal interaction with different breeds as well as technical skills. I have administered medications (oral & topical), administered vaccines, grooming including ear cleaning & much more. I successfully completed 2 semesters of a veterinary technician program. I would love to do a meet & greet before we agree to the sitting. I will not take on more than I can handle to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you & your pet! I work full time Monday through Friday but am a homebody and typically at home every evening, and every weekend. I am currently grieving the loss of my dog of 11 and a half years, she lost a battle to pneumonia. I will make sure your pet gets much love and attention. I have a large fenced in yard with much room to play fetch or just let your dog run wild. I never leave any animal (even my own dog) outside by themselves. Coming to your home, I will make sure your pet is as comfy as can be without you there. I would love to go over your expectations for your pet care prior to the visit.
“Amazing host. Communicating as much as you need! Extremely kind, caring, and will go the extra mile just to help out. Definitely someone we will use for our future trips and even to visit the dogs because of the good time spent.”
“So glad to have found Kate! She took great care of my Yorkie while I was away. I can always tell when my baby girl had a good experience. She was playful and happy when she got home. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or simply providing companionship. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in great hands. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved from the moment they arrive. I primarily offer boarding on weekends, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. During their stay, your dog will enjoy regular potty breaks, outdoor playtime, walks, and lots of love and companionship. I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a spacious yard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy under my supervision. I also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy meeting new friends. If your dog prefers their own space or follows a specific routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’ll treat your pet like family and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, and a clean, comfortable place to rest.
About: Hello! I currently have two rescues doggies, Cricket and Sunny, who are both amazing mixed breed dogs. Growing up I’ve had all different types of dogs with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 15 y/o. I have experience with both blind and deaf dogs, and can administer medicine with ease. I am currently studying exercise physiology at Florida state but have ample time for visits and play dates! Im more than happy to set up meet-and-greets with your animals to make sure I’m a good fit for your family as well as vice versa. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m currently a sophomore student at Florida State University! I only have one morning class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I am free afterwards for any visits. In clients homes, I will always be very respectful and understand boundaries and client wishes. Primarily, I will be prioritizing the safety and happiness of the animal; however, I would love to learn any personal quirks and make sure they feel the utmost comfort with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Sawdust home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Sawdust.
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 Sawdust 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
