“Wow! Ana was the best. We were afraid that Josey our 9.5 month old English field cocker spaniel puppy would have separation anxiety. She had none. She had a ball interacting with her puppy dog friends of all sizes and ages. Ana sent us pictures so WE had no separation anxiety! Those pictures showed grinning dogs including our Josey who fit right in. When we arrived, Anna had everything packed and Josey leashed and ready to go. Ana also helped me navigate this system…Thank you, Ana! You ‘re the BEST!”
“Nicole took great care of our two dogs. They both have never stayed with anyone outside of our family for more than 2 days and were anxious but she took the time to get them comfortable at their own pace and gave us constant updates. Definitely the only one we would trust with our dogs for any future boarding needs while we are still in the area!”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“Sheila came through in a pinch when my dog sitter cancelled at the last minute. She kept me updated with pics and made me feel like I was dropping my dog off with family. Definitely recommend!”
“i would recommend million with anyone forever! as soon as nova got out of the car to meet million she felt at home so comfortable , she has such a great connection with dogs. she took such great care of Nova my husky lab that is literally a ball of energy. i had a vacation and nova did as well, i was kept updated at all time many pictures and videos were sent to me and nova was so happy.”
“Gravy the mutt came home happy and well loved. He has only been elsewhere three times in his almost three years of age. One of those times he came home piddling on everything and we haven’t let him elsewhere until now. Erika and Jason did a phenomenal job of treating him like family and we are so very thankful. Highly recommend and will use again 💕💕💕”
“Macie was so amazing. I love how Bleu feel like he was right at home. He was so comfortable around her and her family and that had made me feel so good inside. I would highly recommend Macie to watch your fur baby. I will definitely have her to watch Bleu again. Macie, thank you so much! 🤗”
“My pupper Molly had the BEST time staying with Sam! It was really nice getting tons of photo updates showing how happy all of the dogs seemed. Would definitely book with Sam again!”
“Harvey accepted our booking about two days before us arriving in town! We were very anxious to leave HoneyBear with him, but she went straight to him and went right in his home. When she was standing at the door barking as we left, he gently closed the door, which definitely helped us and possibly HoneyBear, too. When I reached out to Harvey, he responded quickly and sent us pictures of HoneyBear as well. She was always on the couch (probably beside him)! When we picked her up, she seemed to be content and obviously happy to see her human dad. Harvey definitely earned our trust with HoneyBear’s visit!”
“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Took good care of my elderly dog, kept up with his meds and played fetch with him. They have a nice big backyard for the doggos. Would take him to Dave and Krysta again.”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“We were so thankful to have found Vanessa to watch our dog in her home. She has a strong background working with animals and it shows in the approach to her care. She made sure our dog was a good fit for their household & put me at ease before heading out of town. Vanessa is a great communicator and her family is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!”
“Monica was absolutely amazing with Reesie and El Chapo! She sent me multiple pictures and updates every single day, including photos of their walks, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept them a total of 9 days and the peace of mind I’m talking about she gave me while I was gone for the first time ever leaving them was beyond appreciated. When they ran out of food, she immediately reached out, asked exactly what I wanted, and went to get more for them. There was also an incident involving Reesie at the dog park, and Monica handled it incredibly well. I didn’t have cell service at the time, so she took the appropriate precautions and made sure Reesie was safe and okay first, then kept me informed as soon as she could. I was so grateful knowing their wellbeing was clearly her priority. She also picked up and dropped off both dogs, which was absolutely worth the additional fee, and she was extremely flexible and accommodating with my travel schedule. I felt like my dogs were genuinely cared for, not simply boarded. I would 100% book with Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with their pets.”
“We had a great experience with Aurmurii! She was very attentive and caring with Kean, played with him, and made sure he got plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kean came home happy and noticeably calmer and more relaxed. It was clear that he had a wonderful time and was very well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!”
“This is my second time booking with Robert and everytime he does an awesome job. My anxious dog who is scared of humans greeted him everytime he came home and even let him pet her. He is a great dog sitter!”
“Jeannette and her family were great! They gave my pup lots of love and playtime while I was away. She communicated well and was good with keeping me updated on how my pup was doing!”

Kalvin took good care of our dog Chico. Chico is a very happy doggie when we pick him up from Kalvin house. Kalvin takes him for walks, play with him, and comfort him during thunderstorms. We love the fact he only keeps one pet at a time. I would highly recommend using Kalvin to watch your furry baby.
Naomi was great with taking care of my 8 year old Yorkie. I got frequent updates and pictures. She has her own dog park and yard that is big enough for pets to run around and have fun. I appreciated her having other dogs that would mesh with Ace to get him moving. Couple of things that I want to highlight the most are the preparation she has for multiple pets and situations along with the environment she can create to ensure any pet feels at home. 12/10 would recommend.

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.
95% of sitters in Shalimar 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 Shalimar 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 Shalimar.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shalimar 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.
