“Ty and his family are wonderful! They were so kind and loving to our girl. We got lots of pictures and updates during her stay. I know she had fun playing with his kids. So happy that we found someone we can trust to leave our puppy with.”
“Phillip is a caring and conscientious person who took care of our pet like she was his own. Even though our cat is “Spicy” he worked with her to put her at ease and kept her in her own area for her comfort. It’s people like this that restore our faith in humanity”
“Absolutely the BEST!! It was like a whole family team. Everyone seemed to be involved in the care of Levi. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! 😀 Definitely a home away from home for your pet.”
“Mary is an awesome animal caregiver! She not only took care of our animals, but she also updated us almost every day with texts, pictures, and information. If you are looking for someone who loves animals, you need to pick Mary! Our girls were so happy and elated and well behaved and when we came home they were in such high spirits!!! I could keep writing on and on, but Mary is the best!!!”
“Stephanie was great! My dogs looked so happy playing there. She was very responsive to me checking in on them and sent pictures often. She put us at ease knowing our babies were well taken care of!”
“Kataryna was amazing with my cats! I'm so grateful she was able to watch them last minute when some unexpected plans came up. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Marie and Gregg were a very nice find. Our two female Poms, Biscuit and Tod, received the very best care while my husband and I traveled for 10 days. We started out with a managed "meet and greet" to see that Marie's dogs and our dogs were compatible. Our dogs had medicine to be administered daily and each had special food diets. We provided all this, of course, and Marie was conscientious and made sure our pups' needs were met daily and on schedule. The price was quite reasonable and our dogs seemed very comfortable at their home. We knew this because Marie sent us daily updates along with pics and a few videos. We will definitely rebook with Marie D. when we travel again. Anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter need look no further. Be sure to book with Marie D. on Rover. You will not be disappointed. And your pets will have a very nice time while you are away relaxing just knowing that the care your fur babies will receive while staying at Marie and Gregg's is superb! Happy fur Mom - Carolyn”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, even over nights all while giving lots of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work from home so it’s easier for me to naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s morning and evening walks, feeding times, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.
“Taylor and Will were amazing with our 80lb Cane Corso American Bully. Taylor was the loving Auntie sending pics, and Uncle Will was the mentoring trainer fun guy. Dakota definitely learned family farm life, which every dog should experience. We will be visiting again <3 Thank you for loving our dog as much as we do!”
“Dani is fantastic. Blueberry loves staying at her home, and I feel like she is treated like her child, which makes this mother happy :) I will definitely be bringing my puppers to Dani again and again!”
“Shaye did an awesome job taking care of my dog, Riley. She sent pictures nearly every day, communicated great and provided a superb environment for Riley. I will board Riley with her in the future without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
About: I work as a teacher at a farm a few days a week and I work from home the rest of the week. I also am a homeschool mom so I am home mostly ! I consider myself a homebody and have the ideal setting to just be able to love on your dog all day every day. They won’t ever be lonely and they will be able to have all their needs met 24/7 I both work from home and on a farm as a teacher a few days a week. I am home mostly days of the week with the exception of stepping out to run errands if need be and for a few hours weekly to teach at a farm. We have a huge fenced in yard and the ideal situation for your dogs. We lost both of our dogs last year sadly and unfortunately due to cancer and not only do we miss having dogs, but our son greatly misses having dogs here as well. We are dog lovers and we can’t wait to have the opportunity to love on yours !!!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, starting with our family cat we got when he was just two weeks old and later our rescue German Shepherd. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience pet sitting rabbits and lizards, giving me a great deal of comfort with all kinds of pets! I previously volunteered at a cat rescue in St. Augustine and am looking forward to volunteering with the local humane society now that I can drive myself. Having cared for my own senior rescue dog until earlier this year, I know how to read body language and provide the gentle, individualized care pets need. I am also comfortable and confident administering topical, liquid, and pill medications to both dogs and cats having gained that experience from not only our pets, but also clients pets that I have cared for. Friends, neighbors, and clients trust me to treat their pets just like family. I complete my high school classes fully online, which gives me a wonderfully flexible schedule during the week for walks, drop-in visits, and daytime care. The only fixed times I am busy are on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:30 PM for orchestra rehearsals, but otherwise, I am open to fit right into your pet's routine unless I have any previous responsibilities or commitments. Keeping pets safe is my absolute top priority. Along with being a lifelong animal lover, I hold human certifications in things such as First Aid, BLS CPR, and babysitting safety, so you can feel completely at ease knowing a responsible, safety-minded person is looking after your home and pets. I also have my own reliable car to get around easily for appointments or emergencies, and I will always care for your pets with the same love and attention I gave my own.

“Rebecca boarded my puppy for several days, and I have never been more impressed with any dog sitter in my life. She is a genuinely kind person, and, upon meeting her, I immediately knew she was someone I could trust. She sent photos and descriptions of him having a fantastic time with her every day, and I can tell that he thoroughly enjoyed himself while under her gentle care. I honestly would not have felt more at ease unless I was watching him myself. Her house is tidy and charming, and her children are absolute darlings who are great with animals. Also, if all of that wasn't enough, he chewed his bowl and she sweetly purchased a new one for him! I am so thankful that I found her.”
About: Growing up, I always had a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both large and small breeds including Akitas, Huskies, Boxers, Chihuahuas, and Pomsky mixes. As I got older and moved out on my own, I owned a pitbull who I loved wholeheartedly and sadly lost to cancer in 2024. Since then, I’ve adopted two beautiful American Staffordshire Terriers from the same litter who have filled my home with love again. I truly treat every dog like family. They are welcome on the couches, in the bed, and even in the pool if approved by you! I have a fenced in backyard for safe playtime and lots of room for love, cuddles, and attention. I’m also great with teaching basic commands, keeping routines consistent, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, and you may even come home to a cleaner house than you left! I genuinely love bringing happiness, comfort, and peace of mind to people and their pets. I recently moved to Florida from Buffalo and decided to start pet sitting to help fill my free time doing something that truly makes me happy. As much as I hope to help your dog feel loved and cared for, they help my heart just as much too. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, love, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time around animals, so your pup will never feel ignored or lonely while in my care. I am very flexible with schedules and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a unfenced backyard, but a lot of yard, lots of walking trails and sidewalks, a loving home environment, and experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my previous pitbull was very reactive & didn’t get along with other dogs if you have a reactive dog I completely understand! I always follow routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“My dog Daisy had a wonderful time with Louise. Daisy is a very nervous dog and after a couple of days Louise said she settled in good. I am so pleased with the care & sharing pictures & videos with me about Daisy’s progress. It made me feel better about how she was doing.”

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Welaka 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 Welaka 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 Welaka.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Welaka. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Welaka 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
