“Alyssa was incredible with the pups. I had a last minute trip and she came to the rescue in a short notice. Not only that, she went above and beyond with the 4 dogs and gave them all the care they needed. To my luck she is near by so I will be definitely using her services more often. Highly recommend 💯”
“Yasmine communicated well throughout the stay and contacted me quickly anytime something came up, including when one of my dogs had diarrhea. She would even sit with my dog to make sure she ate and to ensure everything was okay. My dogs were happy and comfortable with her, and the house was left in great condition. She truly went above and beyond, which I really appreciated.”
“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!”
“Sandy was amazing! When I first contacted her, I needed a last minute sitter. I had never used a sitter or Rover before. She responded promptly and offered to do a meet & greet, working with my schedule before I left town. For each check-in, she provided detailed reports and pictures of each of our kitties. She went above and beyond when one of our cats had to be picked up from our nearby vet. I felt so much better on vacation knowing our kitties were in amazing hands. We will absolutely use her services again!”
“Aaron is AWESOME! He came and helped me out big time when I had a sudden emergency stay at the hospital. He went above and beyond with my dog Tank. He took great of him in my absence and I can’t be more appreciative. Truly 5 star!💯”
About: I have always had dogs growing up - from big to small. I use to watch my neighbors 2 elderly dogs when I was younger so I am use to all types. I have a rescue pit mix that I have had for about 7 years now and a 1 year old golden. So I am VERY use to all kinds of dogs 🙃. I just love animals, and I work from home. Therefore, I am looking for something to get out of the house some, and I love dogs! I work from home so I am very flexible, schedule wise. I can come morning, lunch time, evenings, or whatever works best for your pet. I live in a condo so I am not able to host any other pets. However, I am happy to come to your home to your pet.
About: I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs by my side my entire life—from playful puppies to wise and loving seniors. Caring for them through every stage has taught me patience, compassion, and just how much joy a wagging tail can bring. I dedicate myself to making sure dogs feel happy, safe, well-fed, and above all, loved. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own. It’s simply what they deserve. I have a warm and welcoming home that includes a gentle boy eager to meet all the good boys and girls in town. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have weekends off, as well as a mid-week break. I have Wednesdays off during the week and love spending that time caring for pets. On the other weekdays, I’m home by early afternoon and available the rest of the day for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Weekends are my favorite time to relax at home, which makes me fully available and happy to dedicate my time to meeting your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra play, long walks, or just keeping them company. I live in a secure and cozy apartment that’s perfect for pets to feel at ease. There’s a balcony where they can enjoy some people-watching, and plenty of comfy hiding spots for when a thunderstorm rolls through. I also share my home with a gentle, loving good boy who’s always happy to make a new friend. For even more fun, our community has a fully fenced dog park for playtime and a convenient dog wash station to keep pups fresh and clean after their adventures.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and currently have a cat of my own. I grew up around lots of dogs through friends and family and have always been very comfortable with them and around different personalities and energy levels. I am also a very active person who loves being outside, going on walks and spending time in nature - having a pet join me is just an added bonus! I’m naturally an early riser and love starting my day outside. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I think the best care comes from paying attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Every pet is different and I want them to feel safe, happy, and enjoy our time together.
“This was Cherie’s second time watching our cat Polly and didn’t think her first go around could be better until it was this time. Her reliability is unmatched and is totally and completely loving and caring for our cat. Really appreciate how much she cares for Polly and Polly feels the same!”
“Kristina is great! She took awesome care of my kitty, had good communication and was reliable. We had some unexpected changes due to a tropical storm and delayed/cancelled flights and Kristina was very helpful and flexible. I highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.
“Janice was so great with my 2 cats (one kitten one elderly) and sent us multiple pictures everyday to ease our minds on our vacation. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Briana has been great with my mini Australian Shepherd puppy. Very reliable, she gives updates throughout the visit and follows any instructions I give her. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my dedication to creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging experience tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup or gently caring for a senior dog, I have experience adapting to all energy levels and special requirements. I’m also skilled in basic puppy training and understand the patience and consistency it takes to help young dogs grow into well-mannered adults. With a genuine love for animals and a commitment to keeping your dog happy and secure, I strive to be more than just a sitter—I’m here to be a trusted friend for your furry family member. Working remotely allows me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care for pets throughout the day. I can easily integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule, ensuring your pet never feels alone and receives the companionship they need. My work setup allows me to focus on both my responsibilities and your pet’s well-being, so they get the attention they deserve without compromising on my availability. In my home, I create a pet-friendly space filled with comfort and safety, ensuring there’s plenty of room for play and rest. I stick to the routines they know, like feeding schedules and familiar activities, to keep them feeling at ease. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet’s environment as consistent as possible, following instructions closely to provide familiar comforts. Whether it’s in my home or yours, my approach emphasizes both safety and enjoyment, so your pet feels secure, loved, and right at home.
“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!”
Fort Lauderdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
I usually use friends or family to watch my senior husky, but didn't have anyone last minute and so I hired Alyssa. She took care of my Senior Husky and made sure to spend quality time with her during each visit. She's reliable, dependable, and was always on time. Both my husky and I appreciate her for taking good care of my pup while I was away. I will gladly recommend Alyssa!
Kimmeth was extremely professional, sweet, patient and communicative during the visits. My pup and I just moved to the area and he has been experiencing alot of anxiety and requires some patience during this transition. She made this experience so easy by communicating with me throughout her time with my pup and being a calming energy for him. Since he is hesitant around new people especially entering his home, having a calming presence and someone who really understands dogs is super helpful. I will 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter and will be happily rebook her for the future.
Genesis is great! Maybe, the best with my dog, Sophie, when I’m away. Genesis, provided us a drop-in visit, giving Soph treats, affection, and she even fed her for me, which was an unexpected bonus. She did all of this on short notice with not much prior introduction to meeting Soph. Genesis is one of the best and I highly recommend her! Thank you, Genesis!
Alyssa was incredible with the pups. I had a last minute trip and she came to the rescue in a short notice. Not only that, she went above and beyond with the 4 dogs and gave them all the care they needed. To my luck she is near by so I will be definitely using her services more often. Highly recommend 💯
Laura minded our two bulldogs while we were away for a long weekend. She was punctual (like clockwork!) and our dogs got spoiled to lots of walks and outdoor time. She kept us informed and when we came back, we found the dogs just fine, they barely missed us! Thank you, Laura!
