I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I spend most of my time at home and have a flexible schedule.

About: I have owned dogs since I was a little girl. I have doggie doors at my house that lead out to a large fenced back yard. I work from home and love taking dogs for small walks on my break or just sitting out back with them. We have doggie doors so they can have access any time or I can close them and keep them inside. I dog kennel my Abby when I leave the house but only because she is older and has had small accidents recently. I have doggie doors leading to a fenced in large back yard.
About: We are a young, active couple without children who truly love animals. Vlad grew up with a Scottish Fold cat named Junya and a Papillon named Alice, while Kristina grew up with a Yorkshire Terrier named Leo. Our beloved pets now live with our parents while we are building our own life together. We have already had the pleasure of pet sitting Missy, a Goldendoodle, and TT, a Pekingese. Both experiences brought us so much joy that we decided to start pet sitting regularly and share our time, attention, and love with more pets. When your pet stays with us, you can count on us to carefully follow all of your instructions and routines, keep you regularly updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

We are happy to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and care routine to keep them comfortable and on their normal schedule. We don’t have children or other pets, and we only board one pet at a time so your pet can receive our full attention, care, and love. We live in a spacious apartment in a very walkable and dog-friendly community with a dog park. We always follow the owner’s instructions, including avoiding other dogs when requested. Our home is pet-friendly, with no dangerous plants or fragile items within reach.

I am comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, providing exercise, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood Lakes
Our pup received the warmest welcome at our meet and greet. Laura definitely has a knack with fur babies and it is easy to tell she has years of experience with them. We looked forward to scheduling a daycare date. Thankfully, she was available during the time of my Mom's visit which enabled the two of us to enjoy our day of shopping. (Mom is fussy with her granddog and fully approved of Laura's care admiring the way she looked after him.) We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Laura and her family. We appreciated the photos throughout the day (adored the ones with belly rubs from her sons) and up-to-date communications. Thank you, Laura.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right 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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
