About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling

“Stephanie was amazing with my cat Bam Bam while I was away! She was incredibly reliable, friendly, and made sure he got all of his medication on time, which gave me such peace of mind. She took the time to check in, send updates, and make sure he was comfortable. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and that made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Bam Bam!”

About: Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup — Now With More Time to Give! Hi there! I’ve been on Rover since 2023, and now that I’m semi-retired, I’m excited to dedicate even more of my time to caring for dogs. Spending my days with pups is one of my greatest joys — whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I share my home with my friendly dog, Kyle, who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be treated like family here! Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged baby. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m semi-retired, I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to each dog I care for. My day usually includes morning and evening walks, regular playtime, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and any special routines or instructions a pet may have. Because I already care for my own dog, Kyle, I’m used to maintaining a consistent, calm, and pet-friendly environment. Adding another pup into the routine feels seamless — I truly enjoy it, and I make sure each dog gets the care and engagement needed. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and rest. My dog, Kyle, is friendly and enjoys having company, so visiting pups always have a companion. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of affection, and make sure each dog has their own space if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, whether that involves walks, meals, medications, or special habits. I give them lots of attention, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. No matter the service, my goal is always the same: to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved. 🐾

“Luzmar was fantastic! She checked in on my cats and ensured they were well cared for. She showed up on time, communicated effectively, and kept me updated throughout. I could tell she genuinely cared for my pets. Highly recommend her services!”

“Aaron is AWESOME! He came and helped me out big time when I had a sudden emergency stay at the hospital. He went above and beyond with my dog Tank. He took great of him in my absence and I can’t be more appreciative. Truly 5 star!💯”

“So very grateful to have met Shannon and had her look in on my sweet Gryffy while I was away for business!! She was very communicative and detailed, which put everything at ease. She has exceptional experience and I would recommend her to anyone! 🐾🌟😸”

“While we were away, Stephanie took care of Max as if he were her own. From the very beginning, she showed responsibility, kindness, and great attention to detail. Max is a very special part of our family, and it was a huge relief knowing he was in such good hands. We received daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stephanie took care of his walks, feeding, and even kept up with his little routines with so much love and patience. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for taking such great care of him! We 100% recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional to care for their pet.”

“Marianne was a great sitter! Communication was a breeze and ever so accommodating. I had a few modification with my reservation and she always adjusted easily and worked with my changes. My pets loved her! I got plenty of updates, pictures and videos during her drop in visits. I will definitely use again and recommend.”

About: I have taken care of friends and families fur babies my whole entire life. I’ve always had dogs growing up. We had a few other types of pets like birds, crabs, fish, geckos, chinchillas and also have been around friends and families different types of pets. I have my own fur baby. Even though I do not do overnights I always treat anybody’s little angel that I’m caring for like my own. I will go above and beyond and make sure that you’re a little baby is well taken care of exactly the way you want because my fur baby is my world. I am well accustomed to medical care that senior dogs may require. My family has a 15 year-old Yorkie Shih Tzu who requires medication. I’ve trained my own to the point that he passed his public access test for service animal. I will spam you with pictures and videos of your loved one. I record everything for you as I do for my friends and family. I am a student and I do also work. There are several days throughout the week that I do have some free time to be able to assist in the care of other sweet little babies that may need some help making sure they are ok until you come home. I will be the only one providing care I do not, and will not care for dogs in my own home. I will go to you and your home as it just does not work for my household and also my own baby. I follow a very strict routine with my own boy so any care taking is scheduled around the schedule I have with my boy. I follow whatever instructions are needed for the care of your furry family member so the type of care that I provide depends on what you need. As I stated previously i will be the only caregiver and I will spam you with all the pictures and videos you want of your beloved baby. I do the same for friends and family. It’s good to be reassured that they are ok and I want to help provide that.

“Jenny was so amazing with Bella!! They instantly created a bond and I am so grateful for her sweet attentive care to my kitty! She was very punctual and took such great care of my place on every visit. I loved how much Jenny would have little conversations with Bella, because my car is a talker! Jenny went above and beyond to make sure that Bella had had adequate feeding time, play time, and gave her lots of delicious treats :) I got the cutest photos, videos and updates daily for the 2 weeks I was away. My mind was completely at ease knowing Jenny would be coming daily for Bella. I truly appreciate the animal lover that she is and I will definitely rebook her! I highly recommend Jennifer to take care of your pet while you’re away❤️”

“If I could give Sandra a 10-star rating, I would. Make that 100 stars. She loves on our pup just as much as we do and I always feel so comfortable knowing she is taking care of our little guy. She is incredibly thorough, responsive and responsible. I genuinely don't know what we'd do if we didn't find her!”

About: I used to help my aunt from up north in Boston take care of dogs for 2 years. I did overnight care, and my job was to feed up to 60 dogs all on my own, and administer and medications that were needed. I took care of some NHL players dogs, as my aunts business was a high end service, so I have been taught to give nothing less than excellence. I am currently a flight attendant so on days that I am flying, I will make sure to let the pet owner know. But a lot of the days I am free, I can come by as often as someone would like. I have no problem, making sure that I fit in the owner schedule so that the pet feels as most comfortable as possible. I will follow any and all rules that you provide for me. I will meet with you prior to any care giving provided to make sure that me and your fur baby have a great connection. If you would like to receive photos every time I am with your fur baby, I am more than happy to provide updates in that form.

About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life and have been taking care of all types of dogs professionally for 10 years. From puppies to seniors. All sizes, breeds and special needs. I’m semi retired and love taking care of other’s pets. Let me take care of your fur baby. I currently work remotely from home in beautiful Lauderdale By The Sea, and have the flexibility to spend time throughout the day with pets either playing or walking. Either in your home or my home. I live in a condo that allows 2 dogs and only a half mile from the beach to allow a nice walk for your pet I have cared for pets in my condo with the ability for many walks per day as well as a fenced in dog park in my community for outside play and a little fun in the sun. I also have sat for dogs and cats in their homes as well if preferred.

“Ted is absolutely amazing!!!! He followed the directions perfectly and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. I was able to focus on my trip and not worry once about my babies. I found my pet sitter soul mate! He is trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated. He exceeded my expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend him for your sitter needs. Like I could not recommend him enough!”

About: I have worked as a kennel technician for dog boarding and helped animals in need and an animal care attendant at the shelter. I currently work at a dog day care facility. I have numerous experience with cats and dogs. I have helped delivered puppies, took care of all animals for extended periods and have overnight dog sat for more than 2 weeks at a time. I love all animals and will protect them with my life!! I am currently working but my hours are flexible and i am in nursing school full time so i am available as much as possible. I can fit your pet into my routine with no problem! I have a fenced yard and a dog at home. I will care for the animals in the clients home but not my own due to my dog not being so well with animals since he was abused very heavily before he came to me. Now he’s a spoiled baby!! I will follow a schedule with no problem and reassure my client with constant communication and understanding that their animal is being 100% loved and cared for.

“It’s very hard to find a reliable pet sitter to watch your fur babies But I finally did. Autumn is the sweetest most reliable person. She always keeps me very informed on what’s going on with our cats. I would definitely highly recommend anyone to use her. 😊”

“Thank you so much, Morgan! Great communication and updates. You took great care of our two bunnies, tortoise, and snake. We will definitely get your help again in the future.”
