About: I’ve fostered dogs and cats, helped rescue strays, and friends and family often count on me to walk or pet sit when they’re out or busy. I currently have a work from home job. Usually available at most times, just need prior notification and I can usually make it, I'm flexible. I treat every pet like they're my own—whether it's in my home or someone else's. I make sure the environment is calm and safe. I keep doors and gates secure, watch closely during walks, and follow any specific routines or instructions the owner provides. I'm big on trust, so I always communicate and send updates.
“Lissmay is very responsive, proactive, kind, and asks all questions in advance to ensure a smooth visit. My dog looked very happy in the videos and photos she sent me! I also really appreciated her constant updates.”
About: Hi, I am friendly, responsible, hard-working, and I love dogs! I have taken animal science courses where I learned what foods/plants are toxic to dogs, along with how to deal with different types of dog behavior. I have been a dog owner for over 10 years and have taken care of friends' and family members' dogs on numerous occasions. In addition, I volunteered at the Alachua County Humane Society for two years and volunteered as a foster parent. As a foster parent I took care of dogs that needed special individualized attention in order to help them get adopted. I have also administered medicine as well as insulin shots. Please feel free to contact me if you would like additional information. I work from home most days and can go on walk and let your pet out to the yard whenever they like a sniff or walking break. I have a fenced yard and while I have two small pups of my own, I can separate the pups if needed. Let me know if there are any safety concerns you are worried about.
“Jacqueline is the best - I’ve already rebooked her & she’s the only person I trust to walk/care for my dogs. Her report cards are the BEST & she genuinely understands my dogs and their personalities which makes me so happy. Also super responsive & flexible!!”
About: Most of my dog experience comes from caring for my own pup and the dogs of family and friends. Somewhere along the way, I became the unofficial dog sitter for my college friends who would impulsively adopt dogs between semesters. My childhood dog, Tyler, has since passed, but I still have plenty of love (and belly rubs) to give. I’ve cared for puppies, small dogs, big dogs, and even disabled dogs, and I always follow owner instructions to the letter. Above all, I just love animals and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently completing my M.A. online, and with a full time school schedule, it’s hard to find traditional work that fits around my classes. Pet care, however, works perfectly with my schedule. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting your home, communication is key. I always check in with owners about any specific needs; diet, exercise, medication, crate time, you name it. As cliché as it sounds, I treat every pet like my own while following your instructions exactly. And if you’re feeling a little nervous about me being in your home, don’t worry; odds are I’m even more nervous about being in someone else’s.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I now have 2 cats. I’ve done puppy and senior dog care. I’m experienced with cat care, litter boxes and medications, nail clippings and more. Pet sitting will be my full source of income, and something I enjoy and will have an open schedule for. Available weekdays and weekends. On weekends preferably morning to early afternoon. My dogs always had a fenced yard, but I moved into an apartment so they went on multiple walks a day due to not having a yard. Fed twice a day, walks throughout the entire day. I’m experienced with giving dogs medicine and shots due to one of mine having diabetes. I am very experienced with puppies I’ve had three. Adaptable to anything that a pet owner requests for their dogs care. I currently own 2 cats, one is 6 the other is 2. One male one female, my female is a rescue so I’m experienced with more timid/shy cats. I know cleaning litter schedules, importance of dry/wet food diets.
About: I've trained K9s and can teach you how to train your own pet! With years of hands-on experience. Never owned a dog? You've never known true love! Pet care is my passion and priority. I integrate training sessions, walks, and playtime seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring every animal gets the attention they deserv I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. Your pet’s routine (feeding, walks, playtime) will be followed meticulously to minimize stress. I prioritize cleanliness, secure leash protocols, and emergency preparedness (pet first-aid certified). Daily updates with photos/videos included—so you know your furry family is happy and safe while you’re away. Note: To ensure safety and focus, my own Belgian Shepherd stays at home during walks. Your dog will be the only one enjoying our adventure!
About: I offer personalized care in a loving home with a large fenced yard. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I also provide grooming, daycare, and boarding.

I provide pet care full time it’s my main job and passion. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I organize my schedule around the dogs in my care, making sure they have playtime, walks, grooming and lots of love.

El Portal dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’ve been so lucky to have Paz as my dog walker. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and truly cares about the dogs she looks after. From day one, she took the time to get to know my dog’s unique personality and needs, and it’s clear how much she loves what she does. Her calm, gentle approach has made such a positive impact, and I always feel confident knowing my dog is in great hands. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Betina is an absolutely amazing dog walker! She is punctual, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to her immediately, and I can tell he always comes back from their walks happy and well-exercised. Betina goes above and beyond by providing updates and even a few photos, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker!
I would 100% recommend Francisca to anyone. She communicated well, even sending pictures and updates after the dog walks. She was punctual and always on time. Francisca went above and beyond spending some quality time hanging out with my dog, offering her treats and water, and even cleaning her paws after the walks. I will definitely choose her again and am so grateful for finding her on Rover.
Janelle has been wonderful with our dog, Percy. He is a rescue and can be quite timid with new people, but she has been very warm, patient, and caring with him. Exactly what he needs. She will be keeping him while we are away and we feel confident that he will be in great hands. Highly recommend Janelle for her services.
