About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and currently have a French Bulldog of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving lots of attention and affection. I currently take time out of my life to foster dogs in need from the shelter. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re in my care. My schedule allows me plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time throughout the week. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and given plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Whenever someone is watching my dog, I want multiple pictures a day so I totally understand the need for updates on your pup.
“Kira is an amazing dog sitter! She’s communicative, punctual, and incredibly kind to our Koa. We trust her completely and always look forward to having her take care of our furry baby. Highly recommend!”

“Alyssa did a great job looking after our three cats! They are very shy and I warned her she might not see them at all throughout the week. She got two of them to come out and befriended them! Would recommend and book with her again.”

“Jeanette is awesome. Feel like I’m always waiting until the last minute to book and she is always available. Mittens loves her… she is communicative and thoughtful.”


About: Hi! We’re Drea & Jason, South Florida natives, family owned and operated, two people fully committed to your dog every single day. We’re retired flight attendants turned full time pet care and dog grooming business owners. This is our everyday life, not a side gig. One of us is always home. Your dog is never passed off, never kenneled, and never left alone. We live at the end of a quiet, private cul de sac with a fully fenced, secure backyard built for safe outdoor playtime. We offer boarding, daycare, walks, drop ins, and pet sitting. We also have an on site grooming studio right here in our home and offer mobile grooming services, so we’re a true one stop shop. No need to book a separate groomer. Your dog’s bath, haircut, and stay can all happen in one place with people they already know. We treat every guest like family. This isn’t a kennel, it’s a loving, fun home. Think furry friend vacation. Jason and I are a true team every decision, every dog, every day is handled by both of us together. Our Advanced Experience & Skills: We’ve spent our entire lives around dogs. That includes volunteering at local rescues, working at a professional grooming salon, and 4+ years of professional grooming experience. We hold certifications in pet first aid & CPR, dog handling, and Fear Free practices. We know behavior, we read body language, and we adjust our approach for what your dog needs: 🥩 Advanced Dietary Management: Whether your pup is on a strict kibble routine, requires allergy management, or eats a specialized raw diet, we handle and prepare complex meal plans with total precision. 🐶 Puppy & Young Pet Structure: We understand the patience and consistency young dogs need. We seamlessly maintain your ongoing potty training schedules, crate routines, and basic manners to keep them perfectly on track. 👑 Senior & Special Needs Care: Older pups require a gentler pace, vigilant comfort monitoring, and absolute precision with medication schedules. We provide a calm, safe environment tailored specifically to their needs. We’re flexible, just ask! Because this is our full time profession, pet care doesn't just fit into our routine, it is our routine. Our entire day revolves around the dogs in our care, not the other way around. Whether it’s an early morning potty run, a midday cuddle session, or structured outdoor playtime, we are always here to provide constant, 24/7 supervision. We keep our roster intentionally small so every guest gets real, dedicated attention, not just a spot in a crowded house. You’ll get daily photo update, and we stay highly communicative from start to finish. We are family owned, operated, and entirely dedicated to creating a safe, stress-free environment. Nestled at the end of a private, quiet cul de sac with absolutely no busy through traffic, our home is a peaceful haven. To protect the well being of everyone in our care, we enforce a strict no aggression policy we only welcome friendly, well socialized pups. Our household includes two sweet, neutered resident dogs and our 8 year old son, who has safely handled and respected animals his entire life. Our outdoor space is a secure paradise: a fully fenced backyard equipped with no dig barriers, a screened and shaded patio to beat the Florida heat, and premium turf currently being installed for top tier cleanliness. Dogs are under 100% constant, active supervision when outside no exceptions. Inside, strategic baby gating throughout the home allows us to customize the layout, giving every guest their own peaceful, dedicated space to relax. All introductions are handled slow and steady; we never rush or force interactions, ensuring every pup feels confident and safe. Because we maintain such strict safety and cleanliness standards, a questionnaire or a 15 minute meet and greet is required prior to booking. Meet and greets are always held outdoors, either at our home or a nearby park, never inside, strictly to protect the peace, comfort, and safety of the current guests enjoying their staycation with us.
About: My top priority is making sure your pets feel like they’re on their own fun vacation while you’re away! I treat every single animal in my care as if they were my own—giving them endless love, personalized attention, and a safe, joyful environment where they can relax and play. With extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals—alongside a background in veterinary care environments—I bring both dedicated affection and a high level of health and safety knowledge to every visit. Whether you have energetic companions, a multi-pet household, or farm animals needing reliable routine care, I adapt seamlessly to your exact setup. I am fully comfortable managing specialized medical needs, including administering oral medications, topical treatments, and following strict health schedules. If you have an older or special-needs pet, I provide gentle handling, mobility support, and attentive monitoring to keep them comfortable, calm, and happy. You can expect complete peace of mind, clear communication, and frequent photo updates showing just how much fun and affection your pets are receiving! Flexible Daily Schedule & Work-From-Home Availability Because I own and run my own business from home, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Being home during the day means your pets won't be left alone for long stretches—I am always around to take dogs out for frequent potty breaks, give cats plenty of mid-day love and attention, or tend to whatever routine needs your animals have. My open schedule allows me to easily stick to your pet's exact feeding and exercise times, giving them constant companionship and giving you complete peace of mind. Safe Yard, Active Walks & Secure Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play fetch, and safely stretch their legs. In addition to play time in the yard, I love keeping dogs active and engaged with regular, leisurely walks around the neighborhood, always tailored to their energy level and leash habits. Whether we’re enjoying structured outdoor walks or relaxing safely in the yard, your pets are always closely supervised to ensure a fun, secure, and stress-free experience.

About: 🐾 My House-Sitting & Boarding Policies Please read these policies before booking so we can make sure we’re a good fit for you and your pup! 🏡 Home & Meet-and-Greet Policy For my safety, privacy, and comfort, I do not allow dog owners, clients, or other guests inside my home for meet-and-greets, drop-offs, pick-ups, or other visits. All meet-and-greets will take place at a local dog park or another mutually agreed-upon public location before the booking. This gives us a chance to meet, discuss your dog’s routine and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before the stay. Please respect this policy, as it is important to me that my home remains a private and secure space. 🐶 Potty Training & Accidents Please let me know before booking if your dog is not fully potty trained, is prone to accidents, or has any difficulty holding their bladder. If your dog requires pee pads, diapers, belly bands, or any other supplies to help prevent accidents, the owner is responsible for providing them for the duration of the stay. I completely understand that accidents can happen, especially when dogs are in a new environment. My goal is simply to be prepared and have the appropriate supplies available so we can minimize accidents and keep everyone comfortable. 📋 Communication & Honesty Please be upfront about your dog’s behavior, potty habits, medical needs, anxiety, separation issues, reactivity, and any other important information before booking.

About: I have my own dog named Jake, he is now entering his senior years and just turned 13 this past December. I’ve had him since he was about a year old and we’ve been able to make lots of great memories together. I’ve worked at multiple grooming salons and have had limited veterinary experience. The vet experience has taught me to provide pets with liquid medication as well as pill medication. I have also raised kittens, not only when I was in school, but I now have my own kitten named Oakey, and she’s a fast growing girl! My own dog has problems with arthritis, so I know how important it is to take care when tending to your pets specific needs.

I work full time in a remote setting which allows lot of flexibility location wise. My weekends and evenings are where I’m most available to provide care I currently do not do day care stays at my own home, but for care provided in my clients home I would ask for a list of requests so I can give your pet the care you desire. With my own dog, I’ve found he’s most comfortable in his own home, so I am confident that following your pets normal daily routine is the best way to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunshine Acres
Madison was amazing! She gave me all the details, was punctual on visit times & cleaned up after my elderly dogs! Sometimes they make mistakes over night when I’m out of town, and my house was so clean when I arrived home. Pups were so happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her.

Catherine was absolutely AMAZING with my fur babies. She came to my home for drop-in visits to walk my three dogs, and I couldn’t have been happier with her care. She was attentive, sweet, and genuinely caring with all three of them. She communicated with me very well and kept me updated throughout the visits, which gave me such peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Catherine and will happily have her care for my dogs again!

Rebecca watched my fur baby for 2 days and took amazing care of her. we received constant updates and lots of pics! it’s a relief to have someone who communicates so throughly while with your animals, we will definitely be hiring Rebecca to watch our fur baby again!

I cannot recommend Richard enough. We are going through a tough time with our baby girl Missy who is a special needs dog that more recently has become immobile. Richard went above and beyond to provide her top notch care while we were out of town for the weekend. Richard helped her with the bathroom, administered medication, and took great care feeding her. We were in a bind and really came in the clutch for us. Thank you for taking great care of our girl Missy! Highly recommend.

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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
