1. Barb K.

“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”


2. Ronene A.
“Awesome job every time I use ronenes services. Never have to worry about her being late as she is always early. My dogs absolutely love her. Highly recommend Ronene for dog walking and sitting.”


3. Ryan S.

“Ryan is an amazing dog sitter. He watched our Mabel during the Nov snow storm when we got 6ft of snow. He came a day early to our house so he could be in place before the storm hit. He was super commutative....sent pictures and updates and promptly responded when we contacted him. He also took great care of our house. He is an excellent dog/house sitter and we will definitely be using him again.”


4. Sara J.

“Sara was amazing watching our dog. We were given updates and pictures while we were on our trip to put our minds at ease. Our dog loved her and was well taken care of. She left our house super clean after staying there for a week. It can be hard to put faith and trust into someone to watch your house and pet that you love, but we are so glad we found Sara to take care of our dog. Would highly recommend”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I have taken care of dogs for family and friends throughout the years. I am comfortable with big and small dogs! Currently I am available every weekend or nights after 5pm. I am a teacher so with summer coming up, I will the be available 24/7!

8. Angela G.
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.

13. Jessica E.


“Jessica did a great job. She came to our house and played with our dogs and fed and watered them. She took pictures and sent them to us with every visit. Jessica even watered our plants. She also took our dogs for a walk to the beach a couple times. Highly recommend Jessica!! ”


14. Molly O.

“I’m sorry this is so late. I enjoyed meeting Molly at our meet and greet. Maggie seems to really like her which is important to me. Molly came when scheduled, fed Maggie and cleaned the litter box which I really appreciated. She took pictures of Maggie and sent them to me. Communication while I was away was important so I could be relaxed that my cat was getting taken care of so well! I would have Molly come again!”


15. Jackie C.
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.


16. Taylor C.
About: I work as a behavior for individuals with autism, which helps with managing behavior issues at home. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I want to be one day. I have trained every dog I've every owned. I work 5 days/week 40 hours/week. I see clients throughout the day and my schedule is generally flexible. As long as I have advanced notice (2-3 days) I can fit you throughout the week. Otherwise, I am available on the weekends too. If need be, I may place your dog in a crate or gated area to protect your dog from any other dogs nearby. On walks, your dog will be by my side at all times and I will help them learn not to choke on the leash as they usually do.


17. Caitlin C.

“Thank you, Caitlin!! Caitlin was communicative and loving to Tuna. She took great care of her while I was traveling. I appreciate her very much and will rebook with her for any future trips!”


18. Emma S.

“Did a great job with my boys.”


19. Jessica P.
“I had jessica watch my German Shepherd and husky while I went away for the summer. It was the first time I have ever left my dogs! She took all of my anxiousness away the very first day as she sent me pictures throughout the day, detailed notes of what was going on with my babies throughout the day. They were just as loved as they were with me. She was detailed oriented, caring, loving. She did exactly as asked and more. My dog is on a special diet and medication, she follows instructions thouroughly. I couldn’t imagine leaving my dogs with anyone else!”


20. Jaiden F.
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.
