“Jennifer took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, Patton. He can be shy and sensitive at first, and she was very patient with him, gave him space, and let him warm up at his own pace. She followed his routine, kept us updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was eating, drinking, going potty, and comfortable. She also understood his needs around other dogs and made sure he had his own space when needed. We were traveling overseas, and her clear communication gave us real peace of mind. We are very grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with Patton again.”

“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”

“We have 2 Goldem Retrievers that are loved like our own kids. Morgan watched them in her home and cared for them as if they were her own. Our one Golden had surgery 6 weeks ago and his activity was limited and she took that into account when letting him play with other dogs and walking him. She is communicative and sent photos every day while in her care. They will definitely go to her home again if we need to be away. Thanks Morgan!”

About: I have fostered and helped find homes for close to 50 dogs. I pride myself on understanding their needs. Experienced with puppies to seniors. I am also comfortable giving meds and shots. I have an elderly Aussie “ Matilda” and a young, playful Westie “Millie”. Both are terrific with other dogs. Your best friends will sleep with me if they like, or on a couch or dog bed or wherever they are used to sleeping in your home. If they are playful, I will play with and run them in my backyard. I strive to meet each dogs needs. A happy, stress free stay is my goal. I am a potter and my studio is in my home. Your dog will be with me and my girls, with access to the fenced backyard to play and enjoy themselves under supervision. I have a fenced backyard and your dogs will be supervised while in my care. If they like daily walks then they can have them!

“Lauren and Conni were great! They treat your animals just like they're at home. Then let him sleep in the bed with them. They let him sit on the sofa with them. I let them out since I go to the door. They have playmates often when they visit. It's a doggy Disneyland over there! Thank you so much for treating my dog like one of your own!”

“AMAZING!! I have never been so calm leaving my pup with Mrs. Kimber. Her and her family are so kind and welcoming. I received videos of my dog everyday and I could see that my pup was being well taken care of and having a lot of fun. To be honest, I didn’t think my dog was going to want to come home after her stay, she was having too much fun! Mrs. Kimber and her family are definitely my new permanent dog sitters. 10/10, definitely recommend.”

“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”

Carol was wonderful! I had not boarded my dog for over 2 years because she always came home from the kennel with some kind of virus. I wasn’t sure how she would be staying with someone, but Carol and her husband loved her as much as I did! I appreciated that she had one on one attention and a daily text and photo to let me know she was doing great! Fi loved all the toys and special treats! I will definitely use Carol as my preferred dog sitter as I know my pup was very well cared for. 💕

We absolutely love Chellie and Theo watching our dog Rocko! She has a beautiful fenced in backyard, she only watches one dog at a time if you ask her, our dog absolutely loves her home and all the attention she gives him! We wouldn’t hesitate to pass her name on to someone else because she takes such great care of the dogs! We are grateful for this dog watcher!

Lisa is wonderful! Bosco can be a little finicky and ‘moody’— and certainly doesn’t like kennels. So we tried Rover and were blessed enough to find Lisa! Thank you again— and will likely check in with Lisa to make sure she’s available before even planning our next trip!

I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.

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 Venice Gardens 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 Venice Gardens.

Tip: 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 Venice Gardens 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.
