“I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my dog for a full week, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. My dog had an amazing time and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine attention she gave— it was clear she truly loves what she does. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Our girl Lisa had a great time with Trevor. We had a meet and greet and the place was very clean. He's a great sitter. Trevor sent us frequent updates with pictures Lisa having a fun time, which put us at ease during our trip. He took very good care of Lisa and we'll definitely book him again next time”
“We booked Elona at the last minute, because we came in town for a Jennifer Hudson concert. And let me tell you, she was AMAZING!!! She sent several pictures and updates throughout our doggy stay. We could tell that our dog enjoyed herself based on her behavior. Elona gives off good vibes and positive energy, which translate to being a great caregiver for animals. I would most DEFINITELY use her again, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.”
“Thank goodness for Delaney! We have left our senior dog, Lizzie, with her and Alex at least four times while we have traveled and have never had a problem. Highly recommend.”
“J’akeecia watched my dog while I was out of town and did an awesome job. Super easy to communicate with, sent me updates without me even asking. She was super reliable, and took great care of my pup. Pics walks, zero stress. Definitely recommend!”
“Shannon did an amazing job! She sent so many pictures and videos of my dog to keep me updated throughout the weekend. She even let my dog tag along to a doggy bday party on the beach, which made me so happy. Shannon was super communicative an flexible and my dog came home a happy girl”
“Debra is fantastic! She took great care of my fur baby and was very communicative. I love that she lets dogs in her care have free roam around the house and furniture. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Amazing lady! So sweet, kind, & helpful. The proof of life pictures of my lil man was so awesome to see while traveling! Lovely just knowing I didn't have to worry about him! Thank you!”
“so patient with my boy! had no idea his separation anxiety was so extreme and despite that she was insanely patient, understanding and kind to my dog. constant updates and very communicative.”
“Kelly and her husband were amazing with our Maisy. She is kind of a crazy high energy dog and they embraced and made sure Maisy was taken care of. Always updating us of how the day was going and how she was getting on with the other dogs.”
“I had a great experience with Daniel! They took wonderful care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I loved receiving daily updates and pictures—my pup looked so happy and well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Lili rocks! When I was leaving for a 5 day vacation, I didn't know my dog was going on a vacation of her own when leaving her with Lili. She is one I could trust the day we met. Lili is the most caring, sweetest person and gave my Roxy 100% (round the clock) love and attention. Belly rubs, massages, even rubbing out those tired joints Roxy has on her legs and feet. She listened to every bit of instruction I gave and was kind enough to share a few funny photos during her stay. I would highly recommend you chose Lili for your dog sitting needs.”
About: I am a new mom with 3 fur babies of my own. I will care for your fur babies like they’re my own. You can always trust that while your dogs are in my care they will be well loved, played with, all owner rules are followed, and frequent pet updates will always be provided. I am experienced in administering medications - baths if needed - food restrictions/allergies - caring for pregnant dogs & newborn puppy litters. I currently do not work so your fur babies will have my undivided attention - any and all their needs will be met with excellence and patience. I have a fenced yard with no holes or openings. I have 3 very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If you prefer your fur baby to be separated from my dogs I can accommodate that request no problem. I have cared for multiple dogs at a time since I was 11 and have had dogs in my home since I was little.
“Marcus was awesome! He took great card of my poodle! She teturned back to me happy as can be! Also, he’s super responsive and flexible. Very professional and knows what he’s doing! I would sefinietly use him again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I’ve had the opportunity to care for and host dozens of dogs with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with special diets, medications, different routines, and making sure each dog gets plenty of outside time, exercise, play, attention, and plenty of time to relax. I also have a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd who is playful, friendly, and loves having other dogs around. I'm used to making dogs feel comfortable and welcome in our home, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while they’re in my care. I work from home, so there is usually someone around throughout the day to give pets attention and care. I have a flexible routine that allows plenty of time for potty breaks, outside time, play, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is generally quiet and relaxed. I'm able to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention while also making sure they have time to rest and feel comfortable. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside, play, explore, and get some fresh air. Since I work from home, there is usually someone around to keep an eye on things and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have a sweet, friendly 7-year-old Australian Shepherd who loves having other dogs around and can be a great companion for them. I always take introductions at the dogs’ pace and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed in my home. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions their owner provides.
“Mary, Spring, and Kurt took great care of my babies while I was away! They sent me pictures and videos each day to show they were happy and doing well and Mary was very thorough at check in to make sure she understood each of their individual needs and preferences. Highly recommend!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University
We had a great experience with Darleny! She was very communicative and did a wonderful job caring for our dogs. One of our dogs had a minor medical issue during her stay and Darleny went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing she was paying such close attention to her needs. All of our dogs seemed happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of when we returned. She followed our instructions, was attentive to their needs, and was very accommodating with our pickup and drop-off schedule. We really appreciated how easy and reliable she was to work with and would definitely recommend her to others.
Lindsay was absolutely wonderful with my pup! I could tell right away that he was having such a great time with her. She kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated and it was so nice seeing him happy, playing, and getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful to Lindsay for taking such great care of him, and I would definitely book with her again!
Ashlee was awesome! We got so many cute pictures of our golden. She’s so high energy, but she was EXHAUSTED when she came home so it seems like she had a great time and played so much! The communication was fantastic and everything went very smoothly with the boarding! Love knowing our girl is cared for and happy while we are away!
Windell was able to accommodate a last-minute booking for my two dogs after I decided to take a spontaneous trip, and I’m so grateful! He was very kind and accommodating to both me and my pets, and his communication was excellent—he always responded very promptly. I was a little nervous because my younger dog can be a bit on the wild side (LOL), but Windell handled him with no problem and took great care of both of them. It definitely gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated his flexibility and would happily book with him again!
Amanda was a great sitter for our elderly rat terrier. She was very focused on making sure she understood all the feeding and care instructions I gave her, and checked in with me when she felt something was “off” with our pup. She has a cat, but my dog seemed to get along fine with the kitty. She’s a very sweet young lady, and I would have her sit for our pup again anytime!

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 University 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 University.
<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 University 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.
