“We needed a last minute sitter for our anxious pup and Marti was fantastic! We are always so nervous to leave our dog but after our meet and greet, we knew she’d be in good hands. Throughout the stay, Marti was great at communicating and sending pictures! I would absolutely choose Marti to watch our dog again!”
“Mayara is the best! We are so lucky to have her watch our pups. She is very patient and cares for our pup so well. We don’t have to worry about anything when they’re with her! Thank you Mayara! ❤️🙏🏽”
About: I’ve had 11 dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been lucky enough to raise every one of them from just days or weeks old until they reached old age. I spoiled them endlessly, but I also made sure they were well-trained, social, and comfortable around other animals, dogs, babies, and people. Growing up, my family somehow became the family that animals could count on. I’ve lost count of how many animals we’ve rescued, fostered, nurtured, and helped find loving homes for. We’ve rescued everything from a bag of kittens my mom found in a dumpster at her job, to an abandoned iguana left at our house, to a one-eared dog who literally ran up to our car while we were stopped at a red light. I know it sounds like something out of a movie, but I promise it’s all true! 😂❤️ To me, dogs and pets aren’t simply animals—they’re part of us and part of our souls. They are family members who deserve patience, respect, love, attention, and proper care. They’re incredibly pure, innocent, intelligent, funny, and full of personality, and I genuinely love taking the time to understand what makes each animal special. 🐾❤️ I’m fortunate to be able to make my own hours and choose which days I work, which means I often have more days off than someone with a traditional schedule. If I have a pet-walking booking, I can easily adjust my work schedule around it by moving my workday to another day or starting earlier or later. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and available for pets while still maintaining my full-time career. I love that I can use my extra time to give pets the attention, exercise, fresh air, and companionship they deserve. I do travel occasionally, usually about once a month or every couple of months, but I always plan ahead and will let pet parents know in advance and block off any dates I’ll be out of town. I believe every pet and every breed is different, so I care for them based on their individual personality, needs, age, and health. When I had my English Bulldog, he preferred a slower, more laid-back lifestyle. Because of his build, exercise was important, but we kept our walks slow and comfortable, and he was usually very quick when it came to using the bathroom. I currently have a 9-month-old miniature Dachshund who is the complete opposite! He loves sniffing absolutely everything, so our walks tend to be much longer. I never rush him when he’s using the bathroom or exploring because I believe walks should be enjoyable, not something a dog has to hurry through. Because we live in Florida, I’m also very mindful of the heat and strong sun and bring an umbrella for extra shade when needed. He is definitely a very spoiled baby! 😂 He has beds and blankets throughout almost every room of the house, plenty of toys, and lots of space to safely roam and play. Because Dachshunds can be prone to spinal issues, I don’t let him use stairs and carry him up and down whenever needed. He gets monthly de-shedding and grooming, dental treats, coat oils, regular checkups, and of course, an unreasonable amount of hugs and cuddles. ❤️ Overall, I believe pets deserve individualized care, patience, comfort, enrichment, and lots of love. I try to care for every animal the same way I would want someone to care for my own spoiled baby.
“Savannah did such a good job watching Doobie! Her space was clean, comfy, and plenty of space to play. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures. Doobie had such a great time!”
“Isabel did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats! I needed to leave on short notice and she was willing to watch them for me, keeping me updated regularly the whole time. If you need someone trusting and professional to watch your dog or cat, I would highly recommend Isabel!”
“Linsey did such a great job watching my puppy, and sent regular updates. She is convenient to Epic Universe which was amazing to let us go enjoy some time at Universal studios knowing he was in good hands! At the end she had everything packed up for us and ready to go, which was also amazing bc we had a long drive home so saved us some time! Finn had a great time with her and you could tell he was cheerful and well cared for the entire time!”
“My Fred had a great time! He sent photos and updates, kept Fred on his usual feeding and walk routine, and clearly gave him plenty of attention and playtime. Fred came home happy, relaxed and well cared for.”
“Michelle was great! She watched my dog last minute, she kept me updated on her and how she was doing, even gave her a bath (with permission). We will be using her again for future sitting. Thanks so much!”
“10/10 would recommend! Very easy booking. Quick and excellent communication and response to messages. They sent us pictures every day of our boys having fun and playing, and sent them home with the cutest Halloween bandanas! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding our dogs with someone we didn’t know, but they boys looked like they had a blast! ?”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! From day one, she kept in constant communication with me, sending photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was genuinely happy during her entire stay, and it showed in every picture. It's clear that she truly cares about the pets she looks after and treats them with love, kindness, and responsibility. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Victor goes way beyond great service, he sends pictures everyday with messages and also has well prepare house where you can see your pet will be safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend victor to anyone!”
“Mervat is a wonderful sitter! This is the first time I left Teddy in her care and the moment Teddy saw her Teddy already love her. At that moment I was confident that my Teddy is in good hands. She sent me multiple photos through out the day. I would definitely book her again.”
“We highly recommend Dana! This was a great first experience using Rover. She sent lots of pictures and updates and we didn't have any worries. Their fenced yard was great for our pup to run around in!”
“Jose, was a fantastic dog sitter I highly recommend him for any of your dogs needs, super nice guy, he sent me pictures of my dog 3 times a day, I will definitely use him again in the future! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your dog this is the guy you want!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Experience for Our Pup! We were so lucky to find Jill on Rover! From the very beginning, she was welcoming, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, which put us completely at ease. We also got to meet one of her own pups, who was incredibly patient and friendly with our dog — a great sign of a loving and well-socialized environment. While we were out of town for the weekend, Jill kept us updated daily with photos and messages. It was clear from every update that our pup was relaxed, happy, and having a great time. Her communication and care made it so much easier to be away. Thank you, Jill, for treating our dog like part of your family. We’d absolutely book with you again!”

Viviana and her family were so kind and welcoming! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dogs with them. I was able to enjoy my stay in Orlando knowing that my pups were in good hands and well cared for. Thank you so much, Viviana! I highly recommend you 100%! ❤️
Our eleven year old terrier/shih-tzu mix had not been boarded since she was a year old, having stayed with family or friends during our past trips. Marti was a life saver and played a huge part in our ability to relax on our vacation. Ms. Marti is on the ball with communication. When we checked in on Izzie to see how they were doing, she responded immediately and often provided pictures. After two days, Izzie was giving nose kisses to Marti and by day 3 slept next to Marti on the sofa. Marti is so warm and personable, and she communicated ahead of time the plans she had in advance, letting us know when she'd be out and where Izzie would be- which of course was absolutely fine. The majority of the time she was at home. She kept us abreast of when they walked and how Izzie was doing overall, as well as her food intake and "peas and carrots." She understands dogs and has lots of experience, providing a warm and safe home away from home for your fur baby. We will book again if we are ever in the central Florida area for vacation. Thank you, Marti!!!
I had such a great experience with Natalia! She went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable while I was away. Every day, she sent me updates along with pictures and videos, which really reassured me that Coco was happy and well cared for. She always kept me informed about how Coco was doing, and it was clear that she genuinely cared. One of the things I loved most was her fenced backyard—it gave Coco plenty of space to run around, play, and enjoy being outside safely. I truly appreciate the attention, communication, and care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
Chelsea is absolutely wonderful with my Leo — all the time. From the very beginning, she has been patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. Leo is always excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the trust and bond she has built with him. She communicates clearly, follows instructions carefully, and always ensures he is safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a repeat customer and will continue using Chelsea’s services with complete confidence. I truly have peace of mind knowing my dog is in her care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.

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 Southchase home-away-from-home, 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 Southchase.
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 Southchase 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 , 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 .
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.
