About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!

About: “I’ve worked in the pet care industry for several years, including managing pet bathing and grooming at a local grooming salon. Through this experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of pet behavior and care. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and breeds.” “Extended day care (4+ hours) and constant care rates are available by request.” I’m a full time pet sitter & doordasher so I make my own schedule and have open availability. I’m willing to travel to Naples & Bonita for pet sitting services. At home my babies have a fenced in yard for them to run & play. They are a bit on the older side but still full of energy. They eat 2-3 times a day and are crated when no one is home.

I work from home as a tailor so I’m home most of the day, no long hours away. I live alone so no extra people or strangers will be in the house or going in and out throughout the day. Close to Colonial animal hospital and Blue pearl incase of any emergency. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and a friendly small dog that is happy to play with a new friend.

I try to follow the same rules they live by at home including if they’re allowed on furniture, how they’re fed, etc.

About: Since the age of seven, I have nurtured a passion for caring for animals, growing up in an environment surrounded by livestock and participating in animal shows.

For clients, I also tailor care to their specific instructions and routines, ensuring a consistent environment for the pets while their owners are away.
About: I graduated from FAMU with a bachelor’s in Animal Science and am a vet technician so you can say that i truly do have a passion for animals. I’ve always loved and have been known for loving animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with lots of animals and pets. I’ve had 5 dogs, including the 4 year old Australian Shepherds I currently have. I also used to have too many to remember amount of cats. Pet care fits very easily into my daily schedule. I currently have open availability, which allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day for feeding, walks, exercise, enrichment, medications, and any other care needs.

“Mike was wonderful with our senior dog Brody, who is 13 but has the energy of a young puppy. He spent time getting to know Brody and play with him. It’s hard to find someone that I trust with our dog and I’m happy I found Mike. We’ll definitely be using Mike again in the future and I know Brody will be thrilled!”

“I was concerned about leaving the Aussie Posse with a stranger since they are absolutely not used to being around unfamiliar people and the standard size Aussie has designated himself as the house protector. To my delight Olivia handled the situation perfectly. She greeted him calmly and then basically ignored him until he and the others calmed down. The second day went better. And by day 3 they were practically old friends. One of my other dogs is shy and didn't want to eat. She changed his feeding location in order to give him space, and pretty much ignored him for a couple days. By the end of her time with us he was finishing his meal and even playing ball with her in the yard. We are extremely happy with the service she provided, would definitely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to others in need of pet sitting services. She's the BEST!!”

About: I grew up with dogs at home so caring for them feels second nature. I’ve learned to read their moods, know when they need a walk versus a nap, and to keep a calm but enjoyable presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level, from chill seniors to super energetic puppies. I treat every pet like my own. ❤️ I work as a server, so my schedule shifts week to week rather than following a set routine. But that actually works in my favor for pet care. My days off are usually Wednesday and Thursday, and outside of shifts I have plenty of flexible time to check in, walk, and play. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means your dog/cat gets my full attention with no other animals competing for it. I have a fenced yard, so there’s a safe space for off-leash play and bathroom breaks without worrying about them wandering off. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand the patience, attention, and care pets need at every stage. I also grew up with cats, which helped me become comfortable with different personalities and routines. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my 9-year-old Golden Retriever every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I also grew up with cats, I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities, and I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific rules for the pet or home. Since I have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and recognizing each pet’s personality and needs. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is clean and left as it was.

In my own home, pets have the run of the place, couch included, I’m only in class two days a week, from 8 AM to 1 PM, so outside of those hours I’m pretty much wide open. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give pets real attention rather than a rushed visit!

Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment throughout our time together. Safety always comes first: I keep a close eye on pets at all times and treat every pet like my own.

“Our dog care arrangements fell through 3 days before we were leaving for vacation. We knew that she wouldn't do well in a boarding situation. We met Brianna and she was a good fit. Our dog Alma really liked her during our meet and greet. We felt comfortable leaving her at home with Brianna doing drop in visits. We arrived home last night to a happy dog. Receiving the visit updates reassured us that Alma was in good hands. We definitely will use Brianna again”

Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.

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.
