“We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!”
“Cindey and Steve took amazing care of my dog Lulu. From the moment I left her with them, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me and gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like their own. Lulu looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I’m very grateful for the care they gave her and I would absolutely trust them with Lulu again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Leslie was incredible and so helpful with Milo. We had the unusual request of having her take him after our wedding ceremony and she did amazing. Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa took good care of Leo and was very communicative throughout his stay. I appreciated the photos she sent with each update as well! We will use her again.”
“Nicholas is very friendly and communicative. He sent regular daily updates via photo and video of my cat. My cat warmed up to the space within a couple days and was way more comfortable there than we would’ve been at a kennel. Highly recommend for a safe and comfortable place for your pet!”
“Mocha had a great time, and was obviously well cared for and loved while she was with Thelma and Gary! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to leave their beloved furbaby in their care!”
“Can’t say enough positive things about our first experience with Amelia! Very accommodating—she even kept him an extra night when I miscalculated our booking! Sent lots of photos and we could see our pup was comfortable with her and her dog. Will be using her again every chance we get!”
“Wendy, Martin and their dog were a delight! Wendy took care of our dog as if he was her own. She accepted our last minute booking, we met to make sure it was a good match for our dogs and it was. She went above and beyond, adding cheese to his meals, lending him a dog sweater to keep him warm during their walk, sleeping with him in the guest bedroom the first night when she saw that he was nervous the first night... When there was an error with the Rover bill, she also promptly took her time to make sure that it was corrected. Wendy was wonderful to deal with every step of the way. Thank you very much Wendy!”
“Briana was excellent with our 2 sweet guys…..treated them With loving care, including daily meds, and topical treatment - communicated easily, sent pics, dogs came home happy, clean - Briana is now our favorite ‘go to’ for overnight care ….”
“Bella and Tux had a wonderful stay with Charlotte. Loved getting the pictures during the day. I really appreciated the care my dogs received. I would use them against?”
“Cyndee is a real friend of Teddy and he enjoys seeing her. She has a calming effect on him and is extremely easy to work with from booking to pick up. We highly recommend her.”
About: With over 10 years caring for pets, I am very excited to meet your best friend!! I have 2 pups whom are very friendly with other pets and would be so pumped to have a play mate! Dog walks, playing in the dog park, feedings and unlimited attention is what I am here to provide! I have always had a passion for caring for pets. I am more than happy to meet you and your furry friend! There are no restrictions here (breed, age, fixed/unfixed) so be ready to send them right on over! (Please send me a message if you have any questions or concerns!) Let me know if there are any things you want to enforce (leash walking, playing with other dogs, etc) and I will try my very best to make it happen! I am an entrepreneur so I’ll be home (or out!) with your furry friend all day! They’ll have 24 hour attention so no need to worry! I have a huge fenced rooftop dog park and can be accessible by phone anytime! Whatever you need to make your pup safe and comfortable, just let me know!
“I highly recommend Kelly! She was sweet, accommodating, and always quick to respond. We could tell our dog had an amazing time and was well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
“If we could go higher than 5 stars, we would. Morgan willingly accepted caring for our anxious Aussie after our vet recommended that we find one-on-one care for him, rather than boarding him in a "commercial" facility. Morgan daily sent notes and photos of him at play with other dogs in her care and made sure that he got plenty of exercise as well as a lot of personal attention, petting and loving. Morgan even allowed him to sleep with her, thus continuing to provide the human contact his highly anxious personality craves. He never once needed any of his prescribed anxiety medication! Instead of being super-stressed out when we picked him up, he was happy and calm. Morgan's calmness, care and nurturing is exactly what he needed. We cannot thank her enough for giving us peace of mind during our time spent with family over the holidays.”
“Callie and Corey did an excellent job watching my dog over the weekend, even when it was last minute! They took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and sent updates during her stay. I would definitely use them again in the future”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southgate
Christyn and her girls took such great care of Hatch! They treated him like part of their family and he played so hard with her pup, Meli, that he slept for days when he got home. We knew Hatch was in good hands while we were away and I'm pretty sure he wants us to go away again soon so he can go back. Thanks, Christyn!

We had an amazing experience! She took such great care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us and let us know our pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear she truly loves animals and treated our dog like one of her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
I want to write about how wonderful Leslie was with our dog and our family. This has been our first time leaving our dog with someone else. We were nervous because there were more dogs around, she made us feel very conformable and kept us well informed. She gave me so many tips about how to take care our dogs anxiety and myself around other dogs on a daily basis. Rocco stayed w her x 5 days, she sent us pictures everyday. We were able to have our vac stress free, I will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you Leslie

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 Southgate 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 Southgate.
<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 Southgate 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.
