“Both Lori and husband Jim are very much dog lovers. Our pet Xena was well taken care of and it was obvious she enjoyed her stay. Pictures sent showed Xena was pampered just as much with Lori as she is at home. Will definitely book Lori again the next time we have an out of town trip.”

About: This is the first year I started pet watching and I have truly enjoyed every second of it. I love to work with all types of animals and plan on adopting a dachshund in the future. I'm an online college student so I can fit into what ever schedule is needed of me. My schedule is 24/7 as long as I don't have any plans or other pets to sit. I do not have any pets and my house is very relaxed as I live with only my grandmother. I willing to do whatever works best for you and your pet.

“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”

Pippa our 10 year old Papillon loves staying with Kathy and is very bonded with her after 9 years of occasional boarding. Kathy’s knowledge of pet health & confidence in dealing with any issue is reassuring and it is evident the moment you enter her home that all the pets love her.

We absolutely love Chellie and Theo watching our dog Rocko! She has a beautiful fenced in backyard, she only watches one dog at a time if you ask her, our dog absolutely loves her home and all the attention she gives him! We wouldn’t hesitate to pass her name on to someone else because she takes such great care of the dogs! We are grateful for this dog watcher!

Lisa is wonderful! Bosco can be a little finicky and ‘moody’— and certainly doesn’t like kennels. So we tried Rover and were blessed enough to find Lisa! Thank you again— and will likely check in with Lisa to make sure she’s available before even planning our next trip!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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 .

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.
