“Genesis was so great! She was very detailed and sent a lot of pictures. She kept us updated. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in need.”


“Danielle and Deborah were absolutely amazing!!! We reached out to them to do visits at our home, for our four pups! We have two puppy siberian huskies a pomeranian, and chihuahua. The trip was pretty last minute and were unable to Meet with them to go over everything. With that, we also have a husky who requires medicine at a very specific time. We were really worried and stressed about who would care for our pups...and then we found Danielle and Deborah! :D They took such wonderful care of our pups, gave them their medicines on time and allowed us to have a very happy and relaxed trip. :) They followed every instruction, and overall I could not be more impressed and thankful! To top it all, we were sent amazing photo updates! They left a lovely note and goodies for the fur babies! yay!! We feel so spoiled! We recommend Danielle and Deborah to any dog owner! We will be using them again! Thank you so much!! you both are truly wonderful! :)”

About: As an enthusiastic and dedicated dog walker, I bring joy, exercise, and companionship to your furry friends. A lifelong dog lover, I've had dogs since I was a kid and deeply understand their needs and behaviors. With a commitment to their well-being, I ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs. Trust me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Aldo I’m a freelance dog trainer! Pet care is a central part of my routine. Each day, I schedule specific times for walking, playing, and caring for dogs to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. My weekly plan includes regular walking sessions and any necessary feeding tasks. Growing up with dogs, pet care is my passion. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of space, toys and a cozy resting area. I maintain a consistent feeding and exercise schedule and provide lots of love and attention. In clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pets' routines and comfort. I ensure the pets are fed, walked, and cared for according to their usual schedule, providing personalized attention to meet their unique needs.

About: I have always been a reliable care giver. My many years of experience includes Pet Boarding , Pet/House sitting, Dog walking and Training.

“Cherie is the best cat sitter! She gave amazingly detailed reports on how my cat was doing and how he was eating and interacting with her. I felt so good knowing my brand was in the care of Cherie! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a drop in visitor for your pet:)”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

“Jessica was awesome! She checked on my cat Menace while I was away visiting family, I loved that she sent updates every visit along with photos/ videos that really reassured that my little Menace was doing good. Will definitely book again next time I’m away 🐈⬛ thanks again Jess!”


About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have a true love for animals and am looking to fill my days with something that will make me happy. Working from home means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to what I truly enjoy—caring for animals. I’d love to fill my days with tail wags, purrs, and plenty of affection for your furry family members! I have a cat who gets along with other cats and dogs. The floor on my apartment has a dog run where the animal can go potty and socialise with other dogs if able.

About: Dogs are my passion! To me this isn’t a job but a hobby and a way for owners to feel at ease when having to leave their dog. I grew up with dogs and my family dogs do not live with me in my apartment so I’m always looking for dog company! From long walks to playing fetch, I will keep your dog entertained and cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your dog. I typically work from home 2-3 days a week and can be flexible on which days to accommodate scheduling requests. Always available on fridays and weekends for the most part. I’m in an apartment building on the 6th floor. We have a dog park on site but I would also just walk your dog around the area. (Whatever you prefer). I’m very cautious with elevators and wouldn’t ride one if another dog is in it at the same time. I also like to provide pics and updates to the owner throughout the day so they feel at ease. I have a roommate who also loves dogs and has one as well - a shitzu. He is very friendly and calm.

“Hooray! Successful visit with my girl. She’s a little skittish around new people so I was so relieved Kevin was available for a visit/walk while I was tied up with appointments all day. I made it back and all was well and my favorite creature was happy. Great communicator and even sent pics that helped me feel at ease during a pretty stressful day.”


“Valentina is amazing! We’re new to Rover and we were nervous to leave our babies - especially one battling leukemia. She loved them just as we would have if we were home and made us feel so comfortable to be away on our trip. We will absolutely use her again.”


About: Hi! I’m a rescue dog mom and lifelong dog lover who grew up with family dogs and has cared for pups of friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m especially patient with senior, anxious, or special-needs dogs, my own pup is working through anxiety, so I understand the care they need. I love all dogs and will treat yours like one of my own! I work remotely full time so I am available throughout the day for a drop in, quick play date, or a potty break. I live downtown so I am quickly able to get places by foot or driving. I have a very friendly and playful rescue pup who will not attend a drop in, potty break, or walk. I can administer medicine if needed, take them for walks, or potty breaks!

“Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!”


About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 18 years and grew up surrounded by pups, so caring for dogs feels like second nature to me. I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies who never sit still to sweet senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and some gentle love. I’m also experienced with giving medications and helping dogs who need a little extra care or patience. What sets me apart? I treat every dog like they’re my own ..spoiled, loved, and talked to like they actually understand me (because let’s be real, they totally do). Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just laying around doing absolutely nothing, I’ve got them covered. I’ll also keep you in the loop with plenty of cute updates along the way! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dogs out several times a day and keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and cared for.🫶 When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed from the moment they arrive. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and a peaceful environment for dogs of all ages. I want each dog to feel right at home. For walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid high-traffic areas or unfamiliar dogs unless discussed beforehand. Whether your pup is staying with me or just joining me for a stroll, you can count on me to treat them with love, patience, and the same level of care I give my own dogs.

I work a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available weeknights after 7 and weekends all day. I am also open to early morning such as 5-7 am most weekdays I am not able to bring other dogs to my home but I am able to come to client’s home and pet sit for a few hours or walk dogs. No overnight stays as I have my own dogs at home to care for.

Aminah B.
“Aminah has an extraordinary relationship with all animals and especially dogs. She trained the dog I currently have, and he is the best-behaved dog I have ever had, and I would say largely because of her training and patience. She has dog sat in my home for periods of time (very honest and trustworthy), trained, and walked numerous dogs in the neighborhood. She is still missed by easily a half-a-dozen dog parents. We miss her work with dogs here in California. You cannot hire a better dog walker or trainer. Top of the line and the absolute best!”

Gianinna A.
“Gia is truly one of the most compassionate and devoted dog lovers I know. She cared for her family dog, Benny, during his final years making sure he was always comfortable, loved, and never alone. When it came time for him to cross the rainbow bridge, she was there every step of the way, making it as peaceful as possible for him and her family. Gia is now a proud dog mom to two incredible pups. Her boy Bali was adopted as a puppy from a foundation and is now a ball of energy and the sweetest companion. Then there’s Zoe, who wandered into her life as a stray in rough shape. Gia didn’t hesitate to take her in, love her back to health, and now Zoe is her shadow. A total cuddle bug. She has such a natural, nurturing way with animals. Whether it’s my own dogs or others in her care, Gia is always my go-to for advice, help, and support. Any pet that stays with her is lucky to be treated like family.”
Fort Lauderdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!

Hooray! Successful visit with my girl. She’s a little skittish around new people so I was so relieved Kevin was available for a visit/walk while I was tied up with appointments all day. I made it back and all was well and my favorite creature was happy. Great communicator and even sent pics that helped me feel at ease during a pretty stressful day.

This is the second time that I’ve used Camilla from Rover to watch my babies and once again, she did a fabulous job. She was even willing to help out when my flight got canceled until the next day. My pets were well taken care of, I received a report card with pictures after every visit and I came home to happy pets. Thank you until next time….

I can't recommend enough! They were absolutely amazing—super communicative, responsive, and always available when I needed an update or had a question. They took such great care of my French bulldog, going above and beyond to make sure both of us felt totally at ease while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my girl was in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you both!!!🙏🏻

Agustina did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 cats and 1 dog while we went away for the weekend! It was quite short notice and she was kind enough to step in and help us. Also felt very comfortable with the meet and greet prior so she could meet the little ones. Everything went perfect!

Max is amazing! He treats our special girl like family! He’s an effective communicator and I never have to worry when I know Max is taking care of our pup. He goes above and beyond every time! We are so happy to have found Max and will hands down refer him to anyone who needs a pet care taker. 🫶🏼🐶

Kelly provided an excellent care for the dog. She accurately complied with instructions and provided videos and pictures every day. She also provided a great piece of mind for myself and my wife after we met her. Great personality, and mostly a very trustworthy person. We could not have asked for a better care for the dog!

Taylor is awesome! I needed a couple of last minute drop in visits for my 2 dachshunds late night and early morning and Taylor immediately accepted my request. My dogs are a little high maintenance and Taylor was attentive to every detail I provided. She was timely and sent photos of my pups while I was away - they looked super happy so I knew they were in good hands. She’s very nice and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!
