“Melissa communicates quickly and always sends lots of pics. She is always timely for visits too! Its the best feeling, knowing my doggo is well taken care of when I am away.”
“Monica is so friendly and has been great with our two pups! We have a large German Shepherd that can be a bit reactive in sporadic instances and a mini Goldendoodle who likes to be the leader of the pack. She knows how to handle and interact with both of them, is always very sweet and kind to them and understands their individual temperaments well. Monica is also great with communication and keeps us up to date on our pups over the course of her time with them as well as if there’s any schedule shifts that might need to happen. It’s nothing but happy tails when Monica comes by!”
“Christine was my first walker in Rovr and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was great with my pup, and always took exceptionally great care of her. I can't recommend her enough!”
“I appreciate Bethany. She walked Pepper around our neighborhood and made sure he had water and was good to go while we were out of town for the weekend.I would recommend her.”
About: I have had and cared for dogs that come in all sizes, breeds and needs. I have experience with high energy dogs who needs all the play and stimulation, senior dogs, special needs dogs, puppies and even mothers in labor. I would love to love and care for your pup as if it were you. I have experience in administering medications and sticking to any dietary needs. I currently work remote so I can be there at anytime for your pup! I have a pretty relaxed schedule so I am good with any last minute requests or needs. I have a fenced in yard and I sit outside with them and play with them. They have lots of toys and everything they need when needing to get some energy out. After that we come inside and chill for a little bit. I let them outside several times a day to make sure they are getting the stimulation they need.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—from growing up with dogs, birds, and fish to building freshwater aquariums in high school. I now have two cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon of my own! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Marine Science from FGCU and completed an internship working hands-on with reptiles and marine life. With over a decade of personal and academic experience, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all types, including senior animals, exotics, and pets with special needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for my own dog, two cats, a bearded dragon, and multiple aquarium setups. Feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and exercise are part of my everyday routine, so incorporating care for other pets feels like second nature. Whether it’s a morning walk, administering medications, or just providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with designated areas for feeding, play, and rest. I follow strict routines to keep pets healthy and stress-free, including scheduled feeding, regular cleaning, and daily interaction or exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines completely—sticking to feeding schedules, maintaining litter boxes or enclosures, offering walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I have been there to help friends and family when they require a sitter for short and long periods. I love all animals and respect all the different personalities they have so there has not been anything that has scared me off. I have worked with animals as big as a great dane to a small kitten which I feel confident in my care for. I am also currently working at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and many people have trusted their pets in my care while they work. I work 9-6pm 5 days a week but the rest of my time can be dedicated to your pet, I also have an hour for lunch that I can use to check on your pet! I don't have any pets with me, so all my attention and focus would turn to your pet and whatever it needs. There is a lot of space and a yard for your dog to run around.
“Patsy was great. She played with our dogs and let us know all was well. She even carried our 25 lb dog a Block because she balked at walking home! I highly recommend Patsy and plan to use her again.”
“Aly was so good with the dogs and they loved her from the first meeting! She made sure they had their walks, water, and lots of pets! She took amazing photos for proof of life and love. Definitely recommend!!”
“Dawn is amazing with pets! I am so grateful that I found her! My dog can be difficult, but Dawn took the time to really get to know him. She's family to him now! I highly recommend Dawn as a pet walker/sitter.”
About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m a responsible, caring animal lover based in Cocoa Beach, FL. I’ve spent years around dogs of all sizes and temperaments and absolutely love getting to know their personalities! Whether your pup is high-energy and needs a brisk beachside walk, or prefers a slower sniff-around-the-block, I adapt to their pace and preferences. I’m currently offering dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with giving meds, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always to keep your pet safe, happy, and feeling loved while you’re away. I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands. I also keep water and waste bags on hand at all times. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend!

“I recommend Dani for the position of dog caregiver and walker. Having known her my entire life, I can confidently say that she possesses the qualities necessary to excel in this role. She has always shown a deep love and compassion for animals. Her experience with dogs spans many years; she has taken care of our family pets and volunteered at local shelters, where she consistently demonstrated responsibility and dedication to their well-being. Her patience and understanding of dogs’ needs are remarkable. Whether it's a playful puppy or a more reserved older dog, Dani instinctively knows how to create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve seen her handle various breeds with ease, learning their unique personalities and ensuring they receive the right care and attention. Additionally, her reliable nature means you can count on her to follow through with scheduled walks and provide the exercise and socialization that dogs need to thrive. She has a great sense of responsibility and will treat each dog as if they were her own. I am confident that Dani will provide exceptional care and companionship to any dog she looks after.
