About: I’ve had several dogs growing up. I’ve also worked in an environment that’s dealt with injured, fractious, even scared dogs. It was part of my job to monitor any changes in behavior/health and keep their areas clean. I fostered a handful of puppies as well, 2 that were 6 weeks and only 2 lbs (now happily in their forever homes) I recently moved and i am in between jobs so my schedule is open and i am missing more of that animal connection I once had. While I’m not currently in the position to care for your animals in my own home, I am prepared to do whatever you deem necessary in yours. I know routines are important for animals. I will treat your home and fur babies with the respect as if they were my own.
About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.
About: From a young age I have cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. This includes, but is not limited to: Lizards, Small birds, and Large parrots. I have a deep passion for animal care and if given the opportunity I will deliver excellent care to your pet! I have cared for young pups and senior pups! In addition to caring for my pets at home, I have 25 hours of service at my hometown dog shelter. My duties included cleaning kennels, refilling water and food, and administering oral medications. My exotic pet care is on par with my dog and cat care, please reach out if you’re interested in exotics pet care, as rover does not have an option for that. Currently I am a college freshman. I am available on weekends anytime. I am also available Thursdays anytime. Tuesdays I am available 9:00 am - 11:00 am, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Fridays I am available after 10:00 am. I have a one year old lab right now, when I am back home with her I take her on walks 2 times a day, plus backyard play time 2 times a day. She is on medications making me capable of administering medications. I also have a 8 year old cockatoo, I also take her on leashed walks, give her outside time, engage in enrichment sessions, and also have administered medications to her before.
About: i have loved dogs since i was little and have never been able to have one but i have had a lot of experience taken care of friends and families dogs and other species of pets! I am a student and I am available to take care of pets anytime!! I am a college cheerleader so I will be unavailable during practice times but would love to care for your fur babies anytime!! I have 1 animal in my home! I have a rabbit! I have a pool outside and a small fenced in yard! I have had cats and dogs in my house before! So I have had a lot of experience!
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats and love them alike! I am patient and compassionate & will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Hi there! I will be starting nursing school in the fall & I also work as a personal trainer, so I will be able to work best with bookings that allow flexibility in drop in times. I’ve been on Rover for a few years now and really enjoy the different animals and owners I’ve been able to meet, so I look forward to continuing to provide the best pet care I can while this next chapter of life unfolds! I have two older male cats and have no problem getting them into a harness or crating them when we have to go places. I am very familiar with administering medication and keeping peace when they get rowdy! I am adaptable to most environments and am willing to learn your exact situation.
About: I was raised on a farm in Massachusetts and have been the caretaker of all kinds of animals! I also rescued dogs for 10 years, I have experience with pit bulls from fighting rings to very scared mostly deaf huskies, your fur babies are safe with us! I run a business in plant city and my schedule is very flexible and I'm home for the majority of the day with my 2 fur babies and farm animals! I have a fenced in yard and 2 adorable babies! They are very friendly but sometimes can be vocal when playing and the yard is plenty big enough to give everyone their space ❤️🐶
“Thank you for loving my Lucy gal so much!! I appreciate the thorough updates and all the photos I received. Those are the extra touches that mean so much when I’m away missing my fur babies. ❤️ 10/10 plan to book again!”
About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a full time job M-F from 9-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.
“Leroy and Reina are absolutely amazing! They were so gentle and loving with my fur baby, they even bathed her while we were away. My Noel absolutely loves them, she made new best friends! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone - I will be booking them over and over again!”
About: I’ve had dogs almost my entire life. Nothing makes me happier the meeting a new pup friend! I will treat your dog like it’s my dog. I am a recent retiree and have lots of availability. I have plenty of time to play with your pup and make their time with me special. I live in a great neighborhood with plenty of room. There is a small park just a short walk away that would be perfect for your pup to play and run.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 9 years old, and animals have truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I grew up on a ranch in Pennsylvania, where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of farm animals as well as dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and more exotic species. Growing up, I also helped rescue and care for animals until they were healthy and able to fend for themselves again. Today, animals are still a huge part of my everyday life. I have two 15-year-old long-haired Chihuahuas, a 130-pound Sulcata tortoise, and five Fennec foxes. I am also a USDA-licensed breeder of Fennec foxes, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals at every stage of life—from newborns requiring close attention and specialized care to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities, sizes, ages, and care requirements. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. I work full-time as a Realtor, but I’m also a full-time animal mom! Since having so many animals of my own makes traveling difficult, I often find myself caring for friends’ and family members’ pets instead—and I genuinely love it. I decided to join Rover because spending time with animals is something that truly brings me joy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs time to warm up, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them while they’re in my care. ❤️🐾 I make my own schedule and have a great deal of flexibility throughout the day. As a Realtor, I’m frequently driving throughout the area for work, which makes it easy for me to incorporate drop-in visits, walks, feedings, and other pet care into my daily routine. My schedule varies from day to day, so I can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! I provide drop-in care for many different types of animals and understand that every pet has their own routine and individual needs. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, crate or enclosure cleaning, litter boxes, and other routine care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats as well as reptiles, birds, small animals, senior pets, newborn animals, and many exotics. I have extensive hands-on animal experience and am a USDA-licensed exotic animal breeder. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety is always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, keep doors, gates, crates and enclosures secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Angie is the best!!! I’ve had her for several services now. I even booked her to watch Amber outside of Rover. She goes above and beyond everytime. I’m so thankful so have found such an incredible dog sitter that I can count on. She even washed Amber before I picked her up. She’s just the best! She’s dog sat Amber twice now, for a total of like 10 days. And she’s come over to my home and walked her twice. So I’m definitely a return customer and always will be! Thank you Angie!!!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals as far as my memory goes! I’ve gotten lucky enough to raise and care for just about every household animal you can think of. I had the pleasure of caring for my elderly childhood blue nose pit which has shaped my experience. From providing medicine to assisting with stairs, getting into cars, ETC. I love to cuddle with couch potatoes but also am very active and enjoy playtime! I work from home/remote so I can provide 24/7 care when booking stays in your home. Allow me to give your fur babies the attention they deserve while you’re away (: As a dedicated pet sitter, my primary focus is ensuring safety and trust for both you and your fur babies. I bring a blend of experience and passion to every pet care assignment. My approach is centered on maintaining a secure and comfortable environment in your home, tailored to your specific pet’s needs! I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates and photo check-ins so you can feel confident and connected when away.
About: I’ve only ever taken care of my dog Brody, but I am highly understanding and adaptive when it comes to other dogs so working with them while making a side hustle sounds like a dream come true I currently have a completely open calendar, but I am someone who wishes to pursue a dream career so I only ask for patience when it comes to my flexible hours. I do not wish for having client pets in my home due to my own dog ‘s nature of being hyperactive, but I can promise you that as a fellow dog lover, I will provide anything needed to your dog or dogs if needed just simply tell me how you take care of them and I will do the same.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Dover. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
