“Haylie took amazing care of our Millie girl. She sent updates each day and made Millie comfortable as it was her first time away from home. She came home happy and lively and I can tell she had a great time. I can’t thank you enough !”
“Ashley did such an amazing job taking care of my boy! When we met up, she was willing to spend over an hour talking with me and getting to really know my pup and his needs. She and her family are very experienced with high-drive, high-energy, intelligent dogs and my pup had an AMAZING time. She also checked in every morning and sent pictures and videos. I will absolutely take my pup to her next time I need boarding!”

“Sarah did a fantastic time taking care of our pet. While we were gone over the holidays. She had to deal with New Year's Eve and our pet being afraid of fireworks. There were no occurrences of panic and she came home completely at ease. Our pet did not show any behavior issues of anger that we went off and left her, so that is the highest compliment I can give. Thank you so much, Sarah and family!”

“I want to take this moment to express my immense gratitude to Nuttawadee for the care and attention she showed our little Yobi. We're amazed because she went the extra mile with him...a walk on the beach (which Yobi enjoyed) - Thank you for the bath, it left him feeling like a soft plush. I know our pet enjoyed his stay with Nuttawadee and family this weekend. I'm sure it will be his next stop when we have to travel. Thank you for your care, flexibility (by agreeing to an extra night with Yobi), and commitment. Five stars for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Creasida and family were fantastic! They came through for me and Sweetness when we were in a crutch - our usual sitter was out of town. Sweetness had such a great time with their 2 girls. They have a great yard with plenty of space for the girls to run and play. Their home is very pet friendly. Creasida shared several pics and updates throughout the stay. Will definitely use them again! Thank you both!!”
“Elijah is super pleasant and communicated with us throughout our dog’s stay with him. He was very patient and accommodating. We will definitely book with him again.”
“We had an outstanding experience with our Rover sitter, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the start, communication was clear, consistent, and professional, which immediately built trust. They took the time to understand Apollo’s routine, needs, and personality, and it showed in every interaction. Apollo was well cared for, comfortable, and genuinely happy during the entire stay. We received regular updates, including photos and notes, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Apollo wasn’t just being watched, he was being cared for with real attention and intention. What stood out most was the level of reliability and care. Everything was handled exactly as discussed, and our home was left in great condition. That level of execution matters. Bottom line, this sitter operates at a high level. Trustworthy, attentive, and fully engaged. We will absolutely be booking with them again.”

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.
97% of sitters in Starke 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 Starke 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 Starke.
<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 Starke 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.
