About: Hi there! Iâm Kevin, your local dog walker based right off the beautiful New River in Fort Lauderdale. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs living in condos and the surrounding neighborhoods. Iâve always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has been second nature for as long as I can remember. Over the years, Iâve walked and pet sat for the dogs of friends, neighbors, and familyâtreating every one like my own. I currently have a Bichon Frise named Murray, whoâs not just my pet, but my daily sidekick and constant reminder of how important it is to give every dog the love and care they deserve. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same care and attention they receive at home, Iâd love to be their new best friend! Whether itâs a quick midday walk, a feeding visit while youâre at work, or just some love and attention while youâre away, Iâm here to help. I offer flexible daytime and evening availability and am reliable, responsible and passionate about keeping your dog happy, safe, and active. When I walk or care for your dog, I give them my full attentionâmaking sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. I stick to their routines, offer plenty of affection, and make sure they get the exercise, play or rest they need. Whether weâre out on a walk or relaxing at home, your dog will be treated with kindness, patience and care. I canât wait to meet you and your furry companion.
âI feel very at ease having Canela in Estefaniaâs care. I appreciate her prompt communication, detailed updates, and willingness to go above and beyond. She has a wonderful and kind personality. Iâm happy I met her and Iâm grateful I have her to support me with Canela in the future.â

âHad a chance to meet Cherie ahead of her dog walking visit with Teddy. What a wonderful and engaging person that Teddy immediately was drawn to and gave 4 paws up!!!! He was sad when she left!!!â

About: Hi there! Iâm ready to be a second home for your furry baby while youâre away. I grew up in a house where we always had dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life.

I pay close attention to your petâs safety both at home and during walks, and I always stay tuned to their mood and behavior. Before our first meeting, I like to learn about your petâs habits, preferences, personality, and any medications they might need to make sure everything feels comfortable and familiar for them.

âVery reliable and consistent. Christina does great with our pups and they look forward to their time with her. She even walked them in the rain! Thanks so much.â

âRobin was the best pet sitter I could have imagined. She helped us out of bind at the last minute and was very easy to communicate with. She made us feel very comfortable pictures and text about each visit. I highly recommend her.â

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Margaret has been great with our dog Leo on regular walks, she has been very communicative and on top of things. She had to cancel once last minute due to illness, but communicated as soon as she knew and it hasnât happened since then. Leo loves her and she takes care to ensure he is happy and healthy!

Absolutely love Jessica! I highly recommend to anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area looking for a loving family to care for their pets. Her and her daughter are fantastic with animals, and were gentle and kind towards my Macimus. I will definitely be using her again and recommend to everyone!

Genesis is great! I was nervous to do this but she is a life saver. Beso is my baby and thanks to her I was able to relax and enjoy. Thank you. It was my first time with her but Iâd definitely try with her again. She was very present and communicative. 5 stars âď¸

Ayelen is very kind. When first meeting my dog, she got on the floor and starting petting her and talking to her like I do! My dogs tail started wagging immediately. She arrived on time, sent pictures during my pups walk, asked informed questions, followed directions - you really can't ask for better! My dog came back tired, so I am really appreciative she got some exercise!

We were looking for someone that would put York at ease and gain his trust. Someone that York would love to go for a walk with without hesitation. Someone who would also gain our trust and put us at ease. Someone who in the future we would not hesitate to ask to walk, sit, or hangout with York. We found that in Sean instantly. âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸

Sophia did a fantastic job walking my dog! She was super attentive, making sure my pup was happy and comfortable during the 30-minute walk. Her communication was excellent, with quick updates and photos that kept me in the loop. My dog came back tired and content, and I couldnât be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend Sophia for a reliable and caring dog-walking experience!â
