“Ayana hands down the best since I’ve used this app. She was so attentive and patient with my dog. I over that she walked her so much and just so communicative . Definitely will book again”
“Robert was communicative, welcoming, and kind to our Jazz. He has a beautiful backyard and likes to go on walks which was perfect for us. We will definitely reach out to Robert again to see if he is available to watch Jazz.”
“Both of the only pet resorts in Tallahassee were closed when I contacted Diana. She literally saved my weekend plans from crumbling: I needed to take a trip out of town, and the buses don’t allow dogs onboard. Sophia demonstrably enjoyed her stay at Diana’s and got along very well with her friends and her daughter. She was fed well and given plenty of space in the backyard to play. Sophia came home very happy and well fed. I would gladly hire Diana again to take care of Sophia. Five stars!”
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering at the tallahassee animal shelter for over a year now and it has taught me how to take care of all different kinds of dogs (medical, puppies, even the blind!) I have also been a dog mom to my own 3 doggies for years :) I am a student and that makes my schedule extremely flexible to be able to give your dogs the time they deserve! I am available most week days from 1-10pm, and can also make a drop by before 8am classes or during my breaks through the day :) I have a fenced in yard at my house but also enjoy walking my dogs as much as possible because my dogs love to sniff and see all the new things- I hope to be able to do the same with your dogs
“I completely trust Madelyn to care for my dog Charlie. He loves her family and their dog Penny! Madelyn is great to communicate with and easy going. She kept me updated during Charlie’s stay and shared photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip with full confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”
“Andrea took such good care of Forrest! She is so sweet and attentive. I especially alpreciated that she kept me updated all weekend with photos and videos. You can tell her love for animals. Will be rebooking!”
“Kendall and Matthew were so caring! Lucky was absolutely loving every moment she spent with them and their kids. Frequent updates with photos and a little story of what happened made us have at least one (and actually the biggest) concern away from us while traveling! Thank you for taking such great care and giving lots of scratches and love to Lucky!”
“Colette is our trusted caregiver for Lucca. Not only is she totally responsible and loving she is a frequent and fun communicator. We never worry when she has Lucca and Lucca never looks back when Colette takes the leash!”
“Wow is an understatement! Shafika took such good care of our pup and provided plenty of pictures along with a stress free home. Leaving your fur baby can be so stressful sometimes, however you won't have to stress with this reliable sitter. Our dog was relaxed, happy and and not anxious at all upon our return. Thanks Shafika for all the luv you showed our Icey!”
“So glad to have found Kate! She took great care of my Yorkie while I was away. I can always tell when my baby girl had a good experience. She was playful and happy when she got home. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Christy was great! She communicated with me to let me know how things were going and adorable pictures! Hal came home relaxed, happy, and tired! Will totally give her a call next time I need a sitter for my girl!”
“Justin was a phenomenal sitter for our dog Dexter, he was great with communication before and during the booking, he was reassuring and knowledgeable about pets and pet behaviors! He also sent lots of great photos and updates throughout the stay, we felt relaxed knowing our pup was in such good hands! We will for sure be booking him for pet sitting again!”
About: Hello! I currently have two rescues doggies, Cricket and Sunny, who are both amazing mixed breed dogs. Growing up I’ve had all different types of dogs with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 15 y/o. I have experience with both blind and deaf dogs, and can administer medicine with ease. I am currently studying exercise physiology at Florida state but have ample time for visits and play dates! Im more than happy to set up meet-and-greets with your animals to make sure I’m a good fit for your family as well as vice versa. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m currently a sophomore student at Florida State University! I only have one morning class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I am free afterwards for any visits. In clients homes, I will always be very respectful and understand boundaries and client wishes. Primarily, I will be prioritizing the safety and happiness of the animal; however, I would love to learn any personal quirks and make sure they feel the utmost comfort with me.
About: I have had the blessing of caring for animals my entire life. I currently have 3 cats (Larry, Curly, and Moe). Having grown up in a pet friendly household, spending plenty of time on the family farm, and working as an apprentice groomer, I have a wide variety of personal and professional experience with animals of all sizes. (To name a few: Cats, dogs, domestic and wild birds, chickens, ponies, goats, calves, and reptiles.) I have experience caring for pets of all ages/stages as well, such as bottle-feeding kittens, or administering medication and subcutaneous fluids to elderly or special needs pets. I would be more than happy to care for your pets so that you can feel at ease while you are away from your furry family member(s). As a stay-at-home mom of one, I have a very flexible schedule that I build around the needs of my clients and their pets’ needs. In-home care for my clients and their pets focuses on maintaining a stable, familiar routine for your pet(s) while providing care services according to their needs. Whether this be ensuring your pet is fed and has plenty of water (or treats if allowed), to keeping them entertained with play and belly pets. As a guest in your home, I take extra care to respect boundaries and maintain cleanliness during my visits. My dog walking services are handled with awareness and attention to our surroundings to avoid potential risks such as vehicles or other aggressive dogs. Due to our climate, during warmer seasons, I pay particular attention to ensure your pup does not become overheated. Additionally, I supply my own waste bags to dispose of waste properly.

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.
98% of sitters in Wetumpka 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 Wetumpka 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 Wetumpka.
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 Wetumpka. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Wetumpka 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.
