“Nusa was incredible with Lulu while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time leaving her (only 3 months old) and we were completely put at ease. She sent photos and updates of all of their activities and was super creative on entertaining her when she wasn’t allowed to socialize with dogs / foreign environments due to only having 2 of 3 of her shots. Would wholeheartedly recommend Nusa!”
“Jamiya was so amazing with Murphy. I could tell at the meet and greet they would be a great fit. Jamiya took great care of Murphy and he was a happy dog when I came home. She sent updates and I never felt worried. I’ll definitely be using Jamiya again in the future!”
“Sarah and Alvin took GREAT care of our pup, and our home! They kept us updated frequently with pictures and videos of him (which I love) and wrote kind notes about their days too. Our home was spotless when we returned and they were so easy to work with! Highly recommend🩷”
“Janiellee is the best! She kept me updated on my dogs and cat and sent lots of pictures! This was the first time leaving my dogs for multiple days and nights and I was very nervous. She truly put my nerves to ease. I will definitely use her again!!”
“Bonnie was incredible! She went above and beyond for Blanche, who I think was genuinely sad to see her go. We plan to book Bonnie any time we need a hand in the future as she’s available.”
About: I’ve had the joy of being around and working with animals for most of my life. I have been the proud pet parent of Priya (an incredible cat) and Liam (a wonderful Doberman), as well as many beloved family pets over the years. I have experience working with all kinds of cats and dogs—from large breeds to shy cats, reactive dogs to senior pets. Additionally, I’m well-versed in dog body language and behavior, which allows me to better understand and respond to your pet’s needs. My approach to pet care is compassionate and individualized. I believe every animal has their own unique personality, preferences, and needs. As I get to know your pet, I’ll tailor my care to suit them. Whether that means longer walks or hikes for the dog who loves exploring, games and playtime for an energetic cat or puppy, or simply quiet moments spent cuddling. For me, the true joy of pet care lies in building a trusting relationship. Not only with your animals but also with you as their person! I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priority, and I look forward to getting to know them and providing the best care possible. My schedule is flexible most days of the week, and I’m happy to adapt to meet the needs of you and your pet. The only day I have limited availability for drop-ins or walks is Friday. If you would like pet care on a Friday, please send me a booking request and I will do my best to accommodate you. I am reliable, punctual, and communicative. I understand how important it is for you to be able to depend on me, especially when it comes to the care of your beloved pets and your home. You can count on me to show up, stay in touch, and treat your pets and space with the utmost respect.
About: With years of experience working with dogs of all ages and temperaments, I provide thoughtful, reliable care. Whether it’s administering medications or offering extra comfort to a shy dog, I make it a priority to create a caring environment where every pup feels at ease and truly valued. I currently have a part-time job and am preparing to go back to college, but I’m still extremely flexible and will always do my best to work something out with you! Currently, due to my housing situation, I’m only able to offer services at the client’s home, as pets are not permitted where I live. I’m happy to bring my experience and care to your home, ensuring your pet gets the attention they deserve!
“Rhoda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond and by the pictures she sent I could tell my cat was enjoying his “vacation” as well. I will definitely be booking her for future sittings! Thank you, Rhoda!”
“Mary and Connie are amazing! They are kind, loving and thoughtful people this shines through from the moment you meet them. My Vanella Beans is very sensitive to people if she doesn't like or trust someone she will bark and BARK; not the case with Mary and Connie she was relaxed and calm following them around. That was the PAW of approval I needed. I had forgotten about the holiday prior to leaving and needed to refill a script for Nella and didn't get a chance to pick it up, however Connie was great and stopped by the vet and picked it up for me! Both made sure to text with pics and updates on Nella. As many of you are aware when you travel getting home can mean the start of more work after a long trip. Not the case everything was clean!! Sheets had been laundered and back on our bed, floors swept, dishes done, house dusted! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Thank you so much Mary & Connie!”
“Zach was everything we could have wanted in a dog sitter and more! Zach watched our very active husky Sven the night of my husband and I's wedding and even picked him up from our wedding venue since Sven was a part of our ceremony. He gave us text and photo updates of our little fur baby throughout his stay and made what could have been a stressful aspect of our day, completely stress-free. I recommend him for any and all of your pet care needs!”
“I have used several sitters with rover and Meagan is truly the best. She truly treats your pet as your own and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable while you are away. Meagan will be my first call anytime I need a sitter. She leaves your space in an amazing condition and is so kind. highly highly recommend her!!!!”
“It was our first time using Rover, and we will definitely use it again, and will want Rebecca. She sent us pictures of the puppies and left a nice note on how they did. It use to be stressful trying to find someone to watch 3 dogs at our house, but not anymore. Rebecca rocks, and will be a permanent fixture when we leave for the night. Charlee, Daisy and Lincoln say thank you.”
About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care You Can Count On With over 5 years of experience walking and caring for dogs—and a decade of fostering cats—I’m passionate about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care—I’ve got glowing references ready to share. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and full of energy, I’d love to connect. I treat every pet like my own! I work my own hours with refurbishing furniture and pet sitting so my availability is open! I have plenty of references available for you as well. I am very respectful of your home and your privacy. I will only ever be in areas designated for me! I promise to respect your dog and their needs/temperaments. I also have a viszla/lab mix and dachshund for a playmate if wanted!
“Molly was amazing! She was our first non-family member to watch our puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. It was clear our pup was in great hands and loved being with her. We’ll absolutely use Molly again in the future!”
About: I think I may have been a dog in a past life. I’m also now an incredible dog dad to our sweet Nellie. Her and I speak the same language. I know what she needs when she needs it. If you want attentive and reliable care for your pup, I’m your guy. I consider myself a full time dog dad so I have all the time in the world to give your pups the time and attention the deserve. Walks in the woods, parks, or just around the neighborhood. I’m here for it. I have a beautiful yard where I spend nearly everyday hanging and throwing the frisbee with my dog, Nellie. When we aren’t hanging outside, our house is spacious and comfortable.
“Lexi did a great job house sitting and looking after Maple and Willow. She treated the pups with love and respected our home. We’d highly recommend Lexi☺️”
“Amanda took the worry out of leaving my puppy (I mean, my 60# bundle of joy) for a weekend away with my family. She patiently listened to dozens of my details about Schatzee's schedules, habits, likes, dislikes, foibles, our neighborhood, and on and on. Amanda didn't miss a beat! She's detailed, professional, and super-nice! I recommend Amanda.”
About: Hi there! From growing up around animals in my family to caring for my neighbors pets, I have the experience to provide your pets with the love and attention they deserve. I’ve worked with a range of pets, from puppies to senior dogs, and kittens and cats. My top priority is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while you’re away. I offer drops-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, and will always keep the parents informed with pictures and updates along the way. Let’s set up a meet and greet— I’d love to meet your family! 🐶🐱🐾 I’m currently a student at the University of South Florida, so I have full summertime availability, from weekdays to weekends. I can provide overnight stays to daily check-ins as needed. I like to keep in constant communication with the pet parent to make sure the pets needs are being met. I also like to provide picture updates and messages throughout my stay to keep the parent in the know. Your pets safety and comfort is my top priority.
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and truly can’t imagine a world without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring under several professional dog trainers, which has helped me build a deep understanding of canine behavior. I’ve also personally trained my own dog and have experience working with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a high-energy walk, I bring patience, positivity, and lots of love to every pup I care for! I currently work part-time and have a super flexible schedule, which means I’m able to work around your pet’s routine—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. Tentative Weekly Availability: (May vary slightly week to week, but I’m always happy to coordinate!) Monday–Friday: 7 AM – 8 PM Saturday & Sunday: 8 AM – 6 PM If your pet has specific needs outside these hours, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to adjust whenever possible! Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine to ensure they feel secure and cared for. As a pet parent myself to a dog who requires special attention and detailed instructions due to her training, I know how important it is to have someone you trust who will follow your guidance closely. Whether it’s administering medications, using specific commands, or simply creating a calm environment, I’m committed to treating your pet with the same level of care, patience, and love that I give my own.

6. Jordan P.
“To put it succinctly, you won't find a more loving, responsible, knowledgeable and caring pet person than Jordan. I've known Jordan her entire life. She is like a daughter to my wife and I. I've raised, trained and loved three beautiful and wonderful Labrador Retrievers over the last 40 years. Jordan has known all three and been lovingly involved with my last two. I don't know anyone who has such a deep love and concern for animals as much as Jordan. She has raised and cared for several dogs of her own. She has raised and cared for several cats of her own. She has raised and cared for horses and other farm animals. She will spare no expense to make sure not only her own pets are happy and live full lives but she extends that type of commitment to other's pets as well. She is the kind of person that will stop her car, jump out and run to the rescue of a stray dog or cat not once, but over and over again. Finally, and more importantly, she extends this type of love and commitment to all people.”

19. Makenzie C.
“Makenzie is an extraordinary human being with a gift for taking care of animals, she dedicates her life to training her adult rescue Nyla. With the odds against her, her patience and persistence she did just that. With that being said, she’s one of the only few I trust to watch my 12 year old Maltese with major health issues while I’m out of town or to just walk him outside while I’m at work. I just know my sweet vinnie is in good hands and safe while she’s incharge. She always sends me the cutest pictures of him while I’m not there, it’s not only reassuring but makes my day know my sweet vinnie is having a blast!”
20. Sydney W.
