“Ryan was able to dog sit with little notice for a 4 day trip for us. Our 4 dogs are a lot to handle and he does so good with them and sends us updates throughout the trip. We have used him several times this month and will definitely use him in the future!”

“Amanda was absolutely fantastic! Her and her husband David stayed in my home with my cat and my dog while we went out of town VERY last minute. They sent me picture updates, and texted me to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely be reaching out to them again! I felt so silly because I forgot to put away some dishes and take out my garbage and when I got home it was all taken care of. They went out of their ways and I can’t even tell you how much I appreciated it!”

About: I have always had a love of animals and I enjoy spending time with them, and yes, I do talk to them as if they are human. I have summers off and would love to spend some time with animal friends!!I am an early riser and can also be flexible with schedules during the summer. I have a fenced in yard here and all the things needed for various pets, especially dogs. I would hope that owners will specify how they’d like their pet cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I grew up on a farm, and we always had animals to care for. Currently, I have 1 dog and 4 cats, we rescued a cat family. I am working part time so I will have plenty of opportunity to care for your dog. Anytime would be a good time for me to board your pet, drop in to house sit or take your dog for a walk. I have a large fenced yard, a large awning area, and a garage set up for shade, along with other dog friendly amenities. I have a doggy pool and dog beds for cozy comfort. Lots of room to run and play as well.

About: I grew up around and with dogs and absolutely adore them. From chihuahua’s to rottweilers I love them all! I was bit as a child so do have some fear when it comes to reactive dogs and would rather not sit for them. While my expertise is cats the more dogs I’ve sat the more comfortable I am. So not only am I helping you but you’re helping me :) My boyfriend and I both work 9-5 most days but can always stop by for checkins on our breaks. We sit together and work around our schedules to make time for the pets we care for. We have multiple cats as well as fish, frogs, and a lizard. We know how important routines are and do our best to keep your pet in their routine. We ask that your Rover profile is updated with all the information needed to care for your pet up to your standard. Some examples would be feeding and bathroom routines.

About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I currently own two of my own and both are age 2. I help family when they are out of town with the care of their dogs. I currently work part time flexible hours! I can start around 9am until late night. I can do long weekend care as well. Flexibility open I do have two dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs love to run and play with new dogs, if you need day boarding.

“Amazing with our Alaskan Malamute who tends to have separation anxiety and is very needy/snuggly. She gave her lots of attention and pretty sure our malamute had a better “vacation” than us away from our 2yr old and with all attention on her! Our outdoor cat was also treated wonderfully as well. Highly recommend Olivia.”


About: At 35 years old, I have dedicated my life to being surrounded by animals. From growing up on a farm to volunteering at an Iguana rescue and the Treasure Coast Wildlife Refuge, my passion for caring for our furry friends runs deep. I truly believe that animals exemplify the purest form of unconditional love and loyalty, qualities that we as humans can learn a lot from. I am excited about the opportunity to provide the care and attention that your beloved pets deserve. I understand that your animals are more than just pets, they are family, and I promise to treat them with the utmost care and respect. I can't wait to see my furry clients eagerly waiting for their favorite walker at the door! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I ensure my pets are fed, exercised, and given affection regularly. This routine brings joy and companionship to my life. In my home, I prioritize pet care by providing proper nutrition, regular exercise, grooming, and veterinary check-ups. For clients, I follow their specific care instructions diligently.
