“Liz was wonderful with our doggy! Our senior dog liked her from the moment he met her and was at ease in her presence early on. Liz was especially attentive to taking frequent photos and sending updates daily. When we arrived home, our doggy was comfortable and calm. We are so glad to have found Liz and will be booking with her again very soon!”

“My dog Penny is diabetic and I get worried leaving her any time I go on a trip , but Sarah was so kind , professional , and incredibly attentive to Penny. She warmed up to Sarah really quickly and I received the cutest updates / photos during my entire trip. Couldn't recommend her enough!”

Jordan H.

“Nick was a life saver. We needed to travel last minute and was incredibly personable and attentive to our needs, even while planning over Thanksgiving weekend. He kept us updated with daily messages and pictures of pets, and felt more like a family friend helping us out rather than a stranger just hired on the app. I would highly recommend Nick for any pet care needs. Thanks Nick!!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Esmeralda, and I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers to Pit Bulls and everything in between, I've had the privilege of raising and caring for dogs throughout every stage of life. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality and needs. Before joining Rover, I regularly provided dog sitting and drop-in visits for family members and members of my church community while living in Puerto Rico. Those and my personal experiences taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. What sets me apart is that I don't believe in "just watching" your pet—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and give them the attention they deserve, whether that's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a dog mom myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free experience, with regular updates and plenty of love every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work a part-time remote job, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. As a dog owner myself, I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets receive lots of love and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. •Daily Pet Care Schedule 8:00 AM – Morning Routine Morning potty break/walk Fresh water refill Breakfast feeding Morning playtime and attention 12:00 PM – Midday Check-In Potty break Short walk or play session Fresh water check Extra attention and companionship 4:00 PM – Afternoon Activity Walk or outdoor time Playtime and enrichment activities Check on comfort and needs 6:00 PM – Dinner Time Evening meal Fresh water refill Relaxation and affection 8:00–9:00 PM – Evening Routine Final potty break/walk Calm playtime or cuddles Ensure pets are comfortable before bedtime I understand every pet has their own routine, so I’m always happy to adjust feeding, walking, and care schedules based on each owner’s instructions and their pet’s individual needs. In my client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable staying in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while keeping owners updated,whether thats through videos or pictures, so they have peace of mind and show how their pets well being. Every pet is treated like family and cared for with the same love and patience I give my own. House Sitting 🐾 ***Please note that my dog, Frida, will accompany me during house-sitting stays. Because she is part of my daily routine, she will be with me throughout the stay. By booking house sitting with me, you acknowledge and agree to Frida being present in your home. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, comfort level, and any concerns during our required meet & greet before accepting the booking.

“Devona is just the best! Devona truly gives peace of mind when we leave our dogs and our home in her care. She is a great communicator and very friendly.”

“Michelle took amazing care of my dog Blitz! She always sends plenty of pictures and videos of him every day and he always looks happy to spend time with her 10/10”

Dale M.

“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”

Steve E.

“Ashleigh was great with Jasper and went above and beyond. I certainly trust her with my fur baby and my home.”

Alina S.

“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”

Haley H.

“Danielle has been great, Nala enjoyed her company. She kept me updated all the time with pictures and videos which I appreciate. Also, she was very flexible and helped us with an extra day. We will definitely book her again, we really loved her services and professionalism. Thanks Danielle for everything :)”

About: I have always been the "go to" person to care for friend and family pets. Mostly dogs and cats but willing to learn if you need any other kind of pet watched :) I currently work from home. I am home all day with the pets and will be able to tend to anything they might need. :) I have a large living room and am able to keep an eye on all pets at all times along with provide the required amount of walks your pet might need

“Lisa is awesome. She made my 2 boys feel right at home. She kept me updated daily and shared photos that meant the world to me. I highly recommend her! We will book her again.”

Ginger C.

“Absolutely loved Shannon! She watched our fur babies while we went on a lil vacay. She asked plenty of questions before we left to make sure she knew our animals routine. Our pom absolutely loved her! And so did our cats, judging from the pics she sent. She communicated with us each day and sent us pics. 100% recommend and will be booking with her again!”

About: You would never know but I used to be afraid of dogs as a child. After we added a golden retriever named Joe to our family, I've been obsessed with dogs ever since. He passed away 6 years ago now and has left me longing to care for pups. I spent the summer helping my sister with her dog sitting business up north and am looking to do occasional dog sitting in the Orlando area. I am a preschool teacher during the week so I would be available to dogsit on the weekends. Or during the week if the situation allows. I would show your pup lots of love and attention! I feel comfortable going on long walks, playing fetch and keeping the dog on his daily routine to manintain his comfort while his family are away.

“We loved Anna from the first meet & greet contact and so happy we found her to care of our baby at our home. She followed all instructions, was kind, patient and caring with our Bentley. She communicated timely and also took initiative to contact the maintanance staff for an AC issue the first evening we left. She made them understand this was an emergency because the house would get to hot for the doggie. This was the first time I left my dog and home with a sitter and did not worry. I was completely relaxed and came back to everything being in order. My dog is a bit shy with new people but warmed up to Anna quickly, played with her and even slept in her bed. We are so fortunate to find her here and now look forward to plan other trips. Thank you so much Anna!”

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 6 years, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in either language. While living in Puerto Rico, I volunteered with a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for dogs in need. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to dedicate more time and attention to the pups in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and my goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away from home. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and following detailed care instructions to help maintain your pet’s normal routine. Your dog will receive plenty of playtime, affection, companionship, and individualized attention throughout their stay. I intentionally accept only a limited number of pets at a time so I can provide personalized, attentive care to every dog. I am also a pet-care-insured provider, giving pet parents an additional layer of peace of mind while their furry family member is in my care. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I carefully manage my availability and only accept bookings when I’m able to be fully present and provide the level of care each pup deserves. When your pup is with me, they’ll have plenty of companionship, playtime, walks, affection, and a comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. I intentionally keep my availability limited so I can give each dog personalized attention and maintain a safe, supervised environment. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so their routine, comfort, and well-being are always a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ve created a dedicated doggie area in my home that can be safely sectioned off when needed, giving each pup a comfortable space of their own while still allowing them to enjoy the rest of the apartment when appropriate. Dogs are welcome to relax and roam throughout the home with supervision, depending on their comfort level and individual needs. I have crates available for pups who are comfortable using one, but crating is never assumed as part of their routine. Each pup has access to fresh water, their own food and water bowls when needed, comfortable beds, and plenty of toys for play and enrichment. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them opportunities to explore, play, and stay active while maintaining plenty of time for rest. I carry dedicated pet-care insurance as part of my commitment to providing responsible, professional care. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel comfortable and right at home. 🐾
