About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!
“Regina is an amazing dog sitter and person . I got picture’s and updates from her though out the day of my two puppies. They were happy and well taken care of. My house was spotless just the way I left it. Amazing job thank you Regina.😊”

“Velvet is amazing. She took great care of our fur babies and that’s not easy, they are quite spoiled:) So respectful of our home and kept our plants well taken care of. Can’t wait to have her in our home again!!! She’s a keeper for sure! Definitely Recommend!!!!”

About: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience. I absolutely appreciate and love time spent with animals of all sorts I have plenty of time and an open schedule. As I am new to Rover, I am excited to start this journey. I look forward to serving your family! I have a fenced in yard. I can crate your pet. I will spoil your furr baby; as long as you're happy with doing so.
“Terri did an amazing job with our dog Max. She sent pictures and updates frequently and we could tell Max was so well taken care of during our vacation. Her staying at our place was so much better then having our pup boarded. It was less stressful for the both of us. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ve cared for various dog breeds since I was 18 for neighbors, family friends, and home healthcare patients. My experience includes walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine this summer because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of walking and drop-in times throughout the day and enjoy staying active and spending time with your pup. I do my best to stick to the routines each pet is most comfortable with to help them feel safe and more relaxed for while their owner is away. I prioritize and creating a calm and positive environment to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners
“Abby took care of my furry friends when I had to make an emergency trip to New Mexico. My cat who normally hides for at least 3 days, was out and about the night I left! I wasn't sure if they would come back to me.”
“Sereniti was amazing taking care of my dog during a 3 night stay, and I could tell she was treated like family. I got updates and pictures that showed Diamond happy, relaxed, and having fun. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I travel! Thanks again.”


About: I’m an overnight journalist who just recently made the big move from Arkansas to Florida! I have had animals my entire life up until this move (so hard to leave family pets!), so would love the chance to take care of your furry friend while also using up both of our extra energy through walks/playtime! I work overnights (typically 11 PM to 8 AM) so am available all day for drop-ins/walks! I am more than happy to plan my sleep around your pet. Just let me know what you need and I’m happy to help. ***PLEASE READ: I am happy to accommodate same-day bookings if you book in the morning! If you’re requesting a booking after ~2 p.m. there’s a chance I won’t see it until the evening! (Feel free to book evening times… just need to know by 2 that day!) If you have questions just message me :) I’ve owned pets my entire life and understand that every furry friend has different needs and boundaries. I am more than willing to accommodate anything needed to keep your pet feeling safe and happy. I do not have other animals so will be able to provide your pet with my full attention! Whether your pet requires a long walk or a short one… extra play time or prefers to stay mostly to themselves… I’m your girl!

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and been there to help friends, family and neighbors with their pets with 8 years of professional and personal experience. I have 4 dogs in my own household including a Great Dane mixed w/ a redbone coonhound, a dachshund mixed w/ a pit-bull, Chihuahua and a Chihuahua mixed w/ an Australian cattle hound! Plus a small rabbit! I’ve even trained my dogs to follow some ASL commands. I’m currently completing my masters program so I’d be happy to help with your dear pets and treat them with as much love as my own. I’m currently a masters in occupational therapy student who has recently graduated. I’m studying for my boards exam throughout the summer so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet! Within your home I will care for your pets as according to your wishes and rules. I respect your space and the safety of your pet first and foremost so I will always handle them gently and with care. I will make sure they attend to their potty schedule as instructed and reward them if they’re still in training. I’ll clean up after them as needed and ensure they’re following a proper feeding schedule. Finally, I’ll of course make sure they receive the affection and attention they want!
“Melissa was fantastic with my dogs. She made a few visits to make sure they knew her. She genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort to know that my pups were getting such special care while we were away.”

“Luis was great! She kept my girl company all week and made sure she was well taken care of. Also very respectful of my house and space. Easy to communicate with. Looking forward to booking him again for future trips!”

“Charles was kind, responsive, and took amazing care of our dogs. He checked in with us daily and sent photos. Our dogs looked happy and relaxed upon our return. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible. I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day. I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Starting watching other people’s animals around 5 years ago. i also have three dogs of my own and used to have a rabbit which was a lot of work and prepared me for more and more. I change around my schedule around it as pets deserve the same attention humans do. They are just as emotional as we are and compassionate. I keep them on leases when needed and keep them in instructed area; fenced in yard, harness, crate, gated area, etc. just basically whatever requirements needed.
“Arianna was great with our 3 dogs. They loved her. I got picture updates and a note when I got home updating me on the dogs. We leave music or the TV on for them when we are not home so when we arrived home she had left them watching the dog channel which was so cute. A few days before our Scheduled time with her we asked if she could come earlier then planned. She not only did but arrived early.”
