“Always know that Marshall will be well looked-after in Adrienne’s home. Very professional and quick to respond. Marshall had a good time there today! We can always tell by how he behaves after we pick him up. 🥰”
“Maryjane was fantastic while dog sitting my puppy for three days! She was very accommodating with times I could drop and pick him up and Milo loved going there! We will definitely be using her again! Thank you Maryjane!”
“My golden doodle, Brandy had her first sleep over with Charles and she loved it! While there, Brandy was treated like family. She was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I received pictures of Brandy and updates. The yard is incredibly big, fenced in, lots of shade. This is a perfect place for any dog to be!”
“Kelicathran was so nice and accommodating. We never had time for a meet and greet but it was as if she already knew us. She welcomed all of us and took excellent care of our girls. We loved the pics. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Shayla was AWESOME! She was very upfront on how she engages with the dogs through our the day and answered all my questions. This was my first time for my dog to be away from my partner and I for more than an hour so of course I was nervous. I was nervous for no reason! Our dog didn't even realize we were gone and had a blast being in Shaylas care all day and playing with the other dogs! He was absolutely in doggy paradise!”
About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.
“Maggie is awesome! Murphey had a blast hanging out with her for the day. She treated him like he was her own, sent tons of pics and literally made me feel so at ease. I will definitely book her again!”
“First time is a charm! Nicole, and family, are wonderful, friendly and amazing sitters. Bailey was completely comfortable and at ease right from the start. Nicole stayed in touch through the day with pictures and comments. The environment was friendly and playful and so much love. Highly recommend!”
“Alexus was able to accommodate Sammy on short notice for a day stay. This was the first time I needed to leave him in awhile so it was the first time I met Alexus. I immediately liked her demeanor which is very calming. Her home is lovely and clean and she allows pets in home which is good especially in warmer humid weather. She took Sammy on several walks. I was very rushed that day, late dropping Sammy off and picking him up. I would like to spend more time with Alexus next time I book!”

Jackie R. is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of London during both of her visits. Jackie made sure London was well-fed, took her to the dog park, and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jackie truly cares, and London always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring to watch your pet, I highly recommend choosing Jackie R.!
We know how much Jordi enjoys Keisha and his friends when there, so for his birthday we treated him to a random day at Keisha’s. We didn’t ask Keisha to do anything but she took it upon herself to celebrate Jordi and do some painting. He of course had a great time and was super happy when we picked him up. Keisha is amazing.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Whitney commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 703 sitters in Whitney, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
