“Qian & Meiru took such great care of our three dogs. They are very communicative and provide thorough, consistent updates with pictures. They are extremely friendly and have a great home and fenced backyard that keeps our pups comfortable. We will be returning customers for sure. Don’t hesitate to use Qian and Meiru! They are some of the best caretakers we’ve encountered!”
“Eileen was so patient and kind. My little guy had just experienced a stressful trip and found himself in Eileen’s care because Mom was going away again but this time without him. He was not his typical self and he was anxious. Eileen handled him so well and I am grateful for her excellent care.”
“Haley was very communicative and accomodating with our Koba especially with changes to pick up and drop off last minute! Koba had a blast, safe to say we found his home away from home! We will be back, thank you!!”
“Always amazing!! My dog loves boarding with Iliana!! She always has such a good time there and she is always well taken care of!! I definitely recommend and will continue bringing Roxie here for boarding!”
“Grace was a wonderful sitter for our boy, Gumbo! She kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Gumbo clearly loved being around her and her family—he came home completely tuckered out and slept like he had clocked in for a full shift. We’re so grateful for how well she cared for him!”
“Lucy and Rocco were so worn out when they came home. I got plenty of updates and videos and she even sent me an adorable memorial day photo shoot. She did an amazing job and Inwould highly recommend.”
“Emma was amazing taking care of Reagan, my German Shepherd while I was on vacation. She was in constant contact with me and even made an emergency vet visit when she noticed something wasn’t right with Reagan. I am truly grateful for everything she did in her last few days and would highly recommend her.”

“It’s people like Seaura that make Life better for everyone else. I was in a crunch trying to find someone at the last minute to keep my babies so we can attend my son’s high school graduation an hour from our home. Seaura answered my request quickly and graciously and I immediately got great vibes during our conversation! She welcomed both my pups with open arms for the last two days and they were happy to be with her. Her home was lovely and she kept me abreast of the “goings on”. I would chose Seaura any time we are in her area again!”

“Danni & Todd took such great care of my Stan man. Cannot thank them enough for the extra care and attention they gave him, like making him eggs when he wouldn't eat his food and recognizing symptoms that prompted administering his allergy medicine. I would definitely board with them again. Thanks again Danni, Todd, kiddos, & Pepper!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tampa
Natali and KJ were absolutely wonderful with our girl, Penny! This was our first time leaving her with anyone other than family, and they made sure she was loved and cared for as if she were their own. You can tell they are true dog lovers! They had everything Penny could possibly need and made sure she had plenty of fun and adventures along the way. The daily updates and sweetest pictures gave us peace of mind and showed us she was having the time of her life. We truly can’t recommend Natali and KJ enough!
Madisyn is the best! It was our first time leaving Cooper with her and she did an amazing job at communicating everything with us including when his daily medicine was given, and sent lots of pics and videos! We highly recommend her and will definitely have her as our go to dog sitter now.
Hermun took exceptional care of my recently adopted 12‑year‑old dog. She sent daily photos and updates, and took the time to truly get to know him — his habits, his rhythms, and the little details that make him feel safe. Her patience and kindness made all the difference. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such attentive hands.
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🩷 She kept me updated daily with lots of photos, bathed my puppy & asked for permission for Chloe to tag along on her & bunnys 🐾 daytime adventures. Made my weekend stress free knowing Chloe was in good hands. Will definitely book again with Sara ☺️
liliana took amazing care of my 11-week-old puppy, polo, for the weekend! 🥹🤍 she always kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me so many pictures throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. she was also super flexible and accommodating with my busy schedule, which i really appreciated. polo was so well taken care of, and i would definitely trust her to watch him again. highly recommend liliana!
Erika (and her cute family) were exactly what we were looking for. Our 15 year old fragile Maltese was lovingly cared for by Erika. We received daily photos and updates. She always replied quickly and was so flexible with our pick up and drop off. We would give 10 stars if we could and would 100% use Erika again. Thank you Erika!

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.
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 Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
