“Heather was fantastic with my pups and my home. She took care of my fur pups especially my senior pup with patience and understanding. I was able to relax knowing they were safe and cared for. I will use Heather again in the future and highly recommend her for sitting.”


“This is our first time using Rover and we were Beyond pleased! John was very attentive in texting us and sending pictures letting us know that everything was being well taken care of while we were away. Looking forward to using the service again and hoping John is available!”


“You won't find a better sitter!!! Maria is phenomenal! I am a helicopter parent to my two fur babies and get very anxious about leaving them, but Maria put that all to ease. She came over twice before my trip to meet the cats, learn their routines, and listened to any concerns I had. I was fully able to enjoy my trip with my family knowing my babies were in the best hands with Maria there to handle anything that came up. My place was immaculate and my babies were healthy, happy, and in great spirits when I returned. If you are an anxious pet parent, Maria is who you want to book! I am so thrilled to have found her!”


“I had the pleasure of hiring Leidy to care for my older Doberman Jax, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her service. She was consistently punctual, caring, and attentive. Leidy kept me updated with pictures each time she spent time with him, which gave me great peace of mind. She is extremely reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. I will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter.”


About: My flexible schedule makes it convenient to be here to help! I can do check ins and walks, give loves and report back...and or stay with your babies overnight. My personal furry crew has their happy home here in Laguna. I've been pet/house sitting in Lynn Haven so far, and it's given me the freedom to be the artist of my own life while being around for your furbabies! I recently stepped away from my job as a produce manager (8 yrs) to take a breath for myself and squeeze in some adventures...while doing what I love and be present in life. I have three dogs, two 70 ish lb mixes, and a chihuahua- she runs the show. Three kitties, all rescues. I have "slumber parties" with friends' pets and never a blip. Fully fenced backyard in Laguna, and my roommate works from home and loves pets as much as I do.

About: I have many years of experience, taking care of dogs from dachshunds to dobermans. I love the cuddle bugs but have such a soft spot for shy guys. I only had one dog growing up but I love to meet other furry friends and see how different each ones personality can be! I’m currently in graduate school for Applied behavior analysis. I work part time with kids aside from school. Outside of school I am quite a home body and enjoy the companionship of furry friends. I have 2 cats at home so it’s very kitty friendly. They don’t mind dogs if the dogs don’t mind them. I love the idea of keeping furry friends in their own home to ensure they are comfortable being cared for by a new person.

“Taylor did a fantastic job! We had never left our boy before and were so worried. Taylor took great care of him, sent photos, and spoiled him while she was here. This helped us to relax while we were gone, knowing he was well cared for and spoiled.”


About: Proud mom of four dogs, a cat and a dragon, you can be rest assured that your furry loved ones are in the BEST hands. I’ve cared for animals since I learned to walk. I have fostered and trained too many animals to count. I’m proficient in caring for, exercising, administering medications, and if need be, cleaning up after your fur baby. Proof is in every interaction!! Everyone wants nothing but the best for their animals. I want the nothing but the best for ALL animals. And that is how I can confidently ensure your babies will be in the best care. “Dogs do speak, but only to those who knows how to listen.” I also provide dog massage for pain, anxiety and calming relief. Do to an early shift, I am available after 9 am. I have a very flexible schedule. Let me know any specific times you require so I can ensure that my school schedule doesn't interfere. Clients are just as important to me as my own fur babies. I treat all animals with the upmost love and adoration as I do my own.

“Lucy was a great sitter for our dogs. She was very flexible and able to stay with them not only overnights but also during the days. Our flight home was cancelled and she was able to stay an extra day. She kept our dogs safe (which is a difficult task, as they are always into everything!) and gave them lots of love and attention. She was also clean and kept our home as clean as we left it. We would definitely use Lucy again!”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and professional photographer, I make sure your pup is not only cared for but also captured in fun photo updates while you’re away. 🐾📸 I live just 100 feet from the water, which means daily walks by the beach and even safe swims for pups who love the water. For owners who’d love something extra, I also offer optional keepsake-quality pet, family, or couple sessions with your furry friends. ✨ ✨ What sets me apart: • Lots of love & attention — I treat every pup like family. • Beach walks, fresh air & swims — plenty of daily exercise and fun. • Photo updates — every stay comes with happy pictures, plus the option to book special portraits. • Flexible care — boarding, daycare, drop-ins, or walks tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles on the couch, long walks, runs, or playful fetch sessions, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. 🐶💛 Can’t wait to meet your pup! Send me a message anytime — I respond quickly and am happy to answer any questions. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs lots of attention throughout the day. Morning walks are part of my routine, and I build in regular potty breaks, swim at the bay nearby, and playtime time during my workday. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks or spending time outside so pups can burn off energy before winding down for the night. On weekends, I often plan extra outdoor activities like beach walks or trips to dog-friendly trails here in 30A. Your pup’s routine will easily fit into mine — I adjust my day around their needs to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, dogs are always supervised and have access to both safe indoor areas and a large fenced yard with shade trees where they can run, play, and relax. I also live just 100 feet from the bay, so pups enjoy plenty of fresh air and scenic walks right by the water. I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, play, and rest while keeping their routine consistent with what they’re used to. On walks, I only use secure leashes and harnesses, and I never allow dogs off-leash in unsafe areas. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the same level of safety and comfort.

About: What sets me apart is from the amount of expensive I’ve had with animals. 3 years in pet sitting but my parents were breeders so I grew up with animals. I treat them like my best friend! I ensure my care and love gets through to them to make them as happy as possible while giving them much attention I baby sit mid day I won’t be there then but every other time I will and I’m able to do over night. Pretty free most the time I only do clients home and I ensure the safety and trust by letting them get to know me more then giving them much attention while keep at their daily routine

About: I absolutely love animals. I currently have an orange cat that is 2 years old. I have been around animals my entire life, from dogs to hamsters. I can guarantee your animal will be safe with me. I miss having a dog and would love to help care for your fur babies! I am mostly available on weekends because I am a teacher on weekdays! I am mostly available on weekends because I am a teacher on weekdays! I am free all day weekends to take pets on walks, care for them and take them out! I live in an apartment that is very pet friendly. There is lots of yard space to take pets on walks and there is a fenced in dog park very close by! I have a cat in the home that is updated on all his shots and is very friendly.

About: Hello! I’m Rheya and I seriously, love pets. With owning over 5+ pets in my life, I have learned to grow with, and not against animals and knowing their behavior and individual needs. As the saying goes, “happy dog happy life” has never been truer especially when the pressure is on with life. I have exposer to training dogs, and maintaining an instilled disciplinary environment for my pets over the years. I would LOVE to provide your pets a time of fun to give you, your time of sun! *I OFFER OFF APP OPERATIONS AS PER REQUEST* ^i have received several reoccurring clients off app (also reduces the crazy rover fees!) I am currently working part-time as well as being a part-time student in college. I am available weekends primarily, either overtime or whatever your specific need is, as well as weekdays when available. Following the schedule in place from the owner, I will adhere and implement said schedule, from potty walks to backyard zoomiez! We do the same here at my household (Leo is crazy for both).

About: Hello! I am new to Rover, but I have had pets for as long as I can remember. From several dogs, bunnies, and now a cat! I have a very flexible schedule with my current job situation and a lot of availability to dedicate my full attention to your beloved pets! Other than photography sessions some nights or mornings, I am available and flexible! I am also social media marketing interning, but my last event to work is only July 9th-12th!

“Siobhan has extensive knowledge of dog training and care. I know that my Anna is in very capable hands when she is with Siobhan. Great person who cares about animals. How can we give her 6 stars!!”


“Abigail did a great job of taking care of my pups. She kept in contact with me and gave updates very few hours, including sending pictures and videos of them. Will definitely use her again. Thank you!”


“Tessa was so kind as to watch my pup for the weekend. I did get text updates and did not have to worry about my pup’s food or safety. The reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 is because I spent an entire day cleaning my home so this would be nice and clean when she arrived. While I knew she and her daughter would be staying at my house, my ring camera said otherwise. The whole family stayed at my house all weekend. I would not have minded this had it been mentioned up front and had there been no further concerns…however upon my return home the following was present: my living room was a mess, there were dirty tissues in one of my bins by the couch, there were food stains on the couch, all of my placemats at the dinner table had red koolaid stains on them (nobody told me this happened and it ruined my placemats…$100 worth and stained my couch), there were red koolaid colored fingerprints that stained my pantry door. I tried to scrub it off and now have to repaint. While the overall service pertaining to my dog and Tessa’s kindness where 100% excellent, I am not made of money and work very hard to provide for myself since I have one income…and I was very very very upset and sad when I returned home to find my house left in this condition. Tessa once again, thank you for watching my sweet girl. I know having a family is tough and busy when also being a dog sitter…please don’t be upset. I just am so sad that I had to come home to ruined $100 worth of placements, couch, door, etc and nobody mentioned this to me at all. I now have to fork out money to get new placemats, clean my couch, and paint my door. That is unfair to me as a paying customer. I’m also upset that you weren’t straightforward with me about your whole family being there instead of just you and your daughter as our messages confirmed. I would not have had an issue if I was told this upfront and my house/items that I work 60+ hrs/week for weren’t destroyed when I got home.”

Kelly M.
“I have a 3 year old pit bull, Smokey, who tore a muscle in his leg almost 2 years ago. We spent a lot on therapy, which was definitely helping, but he was never quite the playful puppy he was before his injury. The first time Kelly came over, she sat down and we were chatting Smokey walked over to Kelly and as we talked she casually started massaging him. When she made it towards the hurt leg, she made verbal note of the stiffness in his leg and proceeded to have Smokey lie down. She sat on the floor, massaging him for about an hour. When she was ready to go, he jumped up and was immediately the puppy he was before! He was pouncing and jumping all over the place and didn’t want her to leave. She comes over once a week and works her magic on Smokey, bringing out the puppy love i treasure. Kelly is a unique soul with a gift. Smokey, my husband and I are so happy Kelly is in our lives. She has truly made a difference in our boy’s life.”
