“Cheryl is an excellent cat sitter—dependable, attentive, and clearly a true animal lover. She took great care of our cats, kept us updated, and made the whole experience stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“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!”

“Genesis did such a wonderful job with our two cats! You can tell she really loves animals and we felt very at ease knowing she was taking such care of our two guys each day. Highly recommended!”

“Marianne was fantastic. Great communication, always sent pictures, and we could tell that Luna felt very comfortable with her. We will definitely use Marianne again and again.”

About: Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup — Now With More Time to Give! Hi there! I’ve been on Rover since 2023, and now that I’m semi-retired, I’m excited to dedicate even more of my time to caring for dogs. Spending my days with pups is one of my greatest joys — whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I share my home with my friendly dog, Kyle, who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be treated like family here! Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged baby. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m semi-retired, I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to each dog I care for. My day usually includes morning and evening walks, regular playtime, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and any special routines or instructions a pet may have. Because I already care for my own dog, Kyle, I’m used to maintaining a consistent, calm, and pet-friendly environment. Adding another pup into the routine feels seamless — I truly enjoy it, and I make sure each dog gets the care and engagement needed. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and rest. My dog, Kyle, is friendly and enjoys having company, so visiting pups always have a companion. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of affection, and make sure each dog has their own space if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, whether that involves walks, meals, medications, or special habits. I give them lots of attention, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. No matter the service, my goal is always the same: to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved. 🐾
About: Hi! I’ve lived in the east Ft. Lauderdale area for the past 20 years. I am a RN that works part time at Broward Health. I am generally available 5 days during the week for boarding at my home, pet sitting at yours, or walking your pet. I am open and to not watching other pets while your yours is with me at my home, but my dog, Sasha will be there always. I live in a 4 bedroom home with a fenced in yard. The property itself is enclosed by 6ft concrete wall. There is a pool that is also separate enclosure than the yard. I have a very friendly mini goldendoodle that has been around dogs of all sizes. I love all dogs, the bigger the better. I’m starting to do this a way to keep myself and Sasha more active during the days. I would not be working during the time your pet is with me. Dogs are let out to the back yard 4x a day and walking 3-5 lx a day depending on their energy level. Completely fenced in back and side yard with a concrete enclosure for the front of the house and other side of house. Self latching gates to come in and out.
“Luzmar was amazing! Her update pictures, her care for our beloved Lima, and her love for animals is a true statement to her work. We are 10000% calling her again and recommending her! Thank you Luzmar! Muchas gracias 🫶🏼”
“Sabina loved Nicole from the meet and greet! I got lots of pictures from the drop-ins and Nicole was super communicative. I also really appreciated her making sure everything was clean before I got home!”

“I was fortunate enough to hire Sean as a cat sitter for my girl Daisy after scheduling a trip out of town somewhat last minute. He was the only sitter who promptly responded to my booking request, and I was able to immediately schedule a meet and greet with him. Sean listened to all my instructions, and even asked relevant questions for things that I may have missed. I was initially very nervous to leave Daisy at home, but Sean’s care put me at ease. Sean followed all of my instructions, left the apartment as clean as I had left it, regularly updated me with photos, and was generally good with communication. Daisy is skittish and shy around people, but really seemed to warm up to Sean by the end. Sean is a conscientious person who truly cares about animals, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.”

“Jenni did an amazing job with our kitties while we were out of town! She was prompt and sent great pictures and updates, and I always felt that they were being very well cared of. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I believe pets should be treated with gentleness, love, and compassion. I will provide reliable care, constant updates, and genuine love for your pet. Your baby’s comfort and safety always comes first. I only work a part-time job so I will have enough time to spend with your lovelies. My schedule can be pretty flexible, depending on when you contact me. As long as your pet is with me, they will be safe. My apartment complex provides a beautiful dog park and walking trail for the energetic ones. I give the best cuddles for the ones that love the coziness.
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.

“Everything was well taken care of, including Muffin. We appreciate you coming by during a busy time and I won’t hesitate to get in touch with you again! Thank you!”

About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling

Galt Mile pet parents share their Rover experiences
Genesis was an amazing sitter. She loved my kitties like they were her own. Showering them with love, pets, attention, and always kept me updated with lots of photos and videos. She also helped with up-keeping my plants while I was away. I completely recommend her to any cat parent ❤️

Sean did an excellent job watching over our babies while we were gone! We booked Sean last minute so that we could go out of town for our anniversary and we couldn’t be happier with his service. He did an excellent job communicating and the house was left spotless. I have no doubt that we’re gonna book Sean again in the future!
Jada was by far one of the best sitters we’ve had! We have a disabled cat with extra care needs, and she handled everything with so much confidence, patience, and kindness. She kept us updated the entire time, left our apartment clean, and even surprised us with a thoughtful welcome-home present. I’d recommend Jada to absolutely anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Tammy was amazing with Foma. She was attentive, patient, and handled his curious, playful personality so well (including his love for treats and getting into everything). She kept a close eye on him, took great pictures, and even brought him toys he loved. We felt completely at ease knowing Foma was in such good hands and would highly recommend her.

Wow! Catherine was amazing. She was so sweet with our pup. She made sure she checked in on time for drop-ins and sent a lot of photos to make sure we felt comfortable while we were away from Lono. Catherine was very good at communicating with us during our time away. We would 100% use her again and will be in the upcoming months. Thanks Catherine!

Jennifer is AMAZING! I couldn’t be happier with the care my my cat (Lily) received! From the very first visit, it was clear that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away—sending updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel completely at ease. My cat, Lily, who can be a bit picky with new people, absolutely adored her! It was such a relief knowing she was not only well cared for but genuinely happy. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛

Isabel took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, always on time, and clearly experienced with animals. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned. That’s a true sign they were in good hands. Communication was great throughout, and she even sent us updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Fantastic job, Isabel!

Marcella is absolutely amazing! She is caring, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after pets. She treats them as if they were her own, giving them love, attention, and making sure all their needs are met. It’s clear how much passion she has for animals, and that gives me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter—Marcella is a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found her!
