“Great lil stay with Samantha. For a short notice request, she was available for the time and was also flexible with my drop off and pick up time. Listened to my needs and directions for Bandit to a tea. Would recommend to any body needing a dog sitter for the day!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Crystal made our entire experience easy and enjoyable. This was our first time ever leaving our “big girls” with someone other than family. From before drop off to everything in between drop off and pick up, Crystal had great communication and it showed she really cared for our girls. We received morning and evening check in texts to let us know how the girls were doing. She even included some pictures to show us how they were doing. I cannot say enough good things about Crystal and her care for our girls. We will definitely use her services again!!”
“Danielle is awesome!!! She kept us in touch with Shadow through regular text messages with his pics!!! She even provided him with food since we forgot to bring Shadow’s. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Miranda took great care of my dog, Liberty, while we were out for the weekend. Liberty looks like she was having a great time in the pictures. Would recommend Miranda to anyone.”
“They are fantastic! She went over and beyond in taking care of my pups and comfortable! My dogs wouldn't eat she hand fed them lol. Super great people and I was completely comfortable leaving them.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I want to help you with whatever you need, and make things easier and comfortable. I am able to follow specific instructions, and do whatever is needed to welcome the pet into my home or at make them comfortable at yours. I am currently looking for work opportunities, so I am home often/most of the day, so I will be able to play and hang with your animals for a bit, or be with them often if they are at mine. I take care of my animals everyday so it is not a big deal to add an extra. I have a fenced in back yard to let the dogs run free and three dogs and a cat at home. They will have at least one play partner to hang with them (the other two are a bit more reserved, but are good with others) or if you would like them separated, that is also okay. I am also able to walk the dogs if they need more exercise than just running around. I am willing to come to you if that is preferred and let your pets out or walk them. I do have a spare cage that can be used for your pet if you forget yours.
About: I have years of experience dog and house sitting for others as well as 1 dog of my own right now. In addition to dog sitting I will also farm/house sit and have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and horses. I am self employed and my flexible schedule means I can add some dog walking clients. We do not offer in home boarding anymore but can do drop in visits to check on your pet and give them extra attention and exercise. At this time we cannot accommodate other dogs or cats in our home. I can offer multiple drop in visits/day. Pet sitting in your home is available on a case by case basis.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young with my family pets. I became a facility dog handler to my dog Gavin in 2021. He has since retired when we moved to Gainesville in 2026. New to the city I am looking for something to do with me time. I have vast training in dog and animal behavior due to being a facility dog trainer. Gavin has retired from service dog work and is always in need of someone to play with. Gavin is well trained and would love to have a playmate for the weekends. I would love to take care of your pet! I currently work a full-time job for Norton Healthcare. I work 8am-4:30pm and am looking for weekend work! I would love to provide your pet with a check-in, walk or overnight stay for a day or long weekend. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one male 5 year old neutered yellow lab. He is a trained facility dog. Many of my fellow facility dog trainers and handlers have trusted me to care for their dog.
About: Pet Care Experience I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention, I provide reliable, safe, and loving care. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, just like they would at home. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion and consistency. I’m attentive to special needs—whether that’s administering medications, helping senior pets move comfortably, or giving puppies the training and structure they need. My focus is on building trust, creating a stress-free environment, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care on a part-time basis, mainly during weekends and weekday evenings. This schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend companionship, I make sure pets feel cared for, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home or yours, I ensure spaces are secure, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I supervise playtime, provide fresh water and proper nutrition, and follow any special instructions for each pet’s needs. My goal is to create a loving, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
97% of sitters in Wilcox 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 Wilcox 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 Wilcox.
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 Wilcox. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Wilcox 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.
