“All I can Say is Wow!! I am so happy that Nya was able to care for our puppy while in town visiting family! Her home is in an amazing area, She sent us updates daily, I could truly feel the love she and her husband had for dogs. Cofi almost didn’t want to leave when we came to pick him up. She gave us a cute note in a bag with puppy treats when I picked him up informing us on how much of a fun time they had with him. We will only be boarding Cofi with Nya next time we visit the area. 5 Stars for sure!!”


“We couldn't have been happier with Abby's care for our dog. As other reviews have mentioned, she was not only incredibly loving and attentive to our dog, she also did an amazing job of keeping us informed of how our dog was doing. We have an older Doberman that has lived with us her entire life, in the same house, and sometimes requires a little more attention and care (meds, e.g.) so we were a little nervous about leaving her somewhere else for a few days but that nervousness was completely unwarranted. She really did treat our dog as if she was her own. We couldn't imagine leaving our dog with anyone other than Abby going forward and obviously we highly recommend using her to anyone else looking for a a reliable, loving pet sitter.”


“Samantha and her bf Skylar were exactly what I needed when I first moved to Orlando in helping with my new work schedule on the road. Their pets took to Lexi like one of their own and through the multiple pictures I received seemed very happy!”


About: Since I was a little I have always loved animals. I have worked at a veterinarian hospital so I am familiar with medical needs for pets. I have spent countless hours volunteering at animal shelters and rescue groups. I have fostered pets from newborn to senior and even special needs. I am fully qualified to care for your fur baby. I’m currently working from home and available to take on a little more responsibility, so I figured why not have fun while doing it :) I have a 10 yr old Chihuahua. Animals are allowed to roam free in the house as long as they’re potty trained. I have a nice large fenced in backyard for them to run and play.

“Christopher came through for us kind of last minute, and he took great care of my boys! They really liked him and seemed to do well! We'll definitely be using his pet-sitting services again!”


About: With over 10 years of experience, I’ve loved helping neighbors, friends, and family with pet care. My competitive horseback riding background (hunter equitation) equips me to give medication and read pet cues. I’m happy to provide caring, personalized pet care in my home. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available 24/7, allowing pet care to fit into my schedule. Being home all day allows me to provide frequent potty breaks for your pet’s comfort and ample playtime to keep them content. I maintain close supervision to address any needs, ensuring each client receives attentive care. I provide loving care for dogs in my home or yours, tailored to the service. I can crate dogs if needed and administer medication. Due to severe cat allergies in my family, I can’t board cats but can provide drop-in visits for them. In my home, I ensure a safe, secure environment with close supervision for dogs.

“Kristin was amazing!! She watched our dog, and sent us lots of videos and pictures when we were gone. She has a big backyard for your dogs to run around in, and she has dogs that were friends with my dog! I used to be stressed about finding somewhere for my dog to stay when we went out of town, but Kristin made the experience totally stress free. She is amazing!”


“This was my first time using Rover. Elizabeth stood out above others I interviewed, and the experience got even better from there. Her love for dogs shows in all she did to help reserve and complete my Gypsy’s stay. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures, helping to erase my anxiety about leaving my dog for a long weekend. A well deserved, 5-star rating for treating my Gypsy as one of her own and providing an outstanding home for her while I was away. Her own dogs are very well behaved, helping to get my miniature schnauzer over her apprehensions with larger breeds. I will definitely seek out Elizabeth for future sitting needs.”


“My 9 weeks puppy looks happy and have fun time with Justo. He’s very gentle and sweet. I think my puppy already miss Justo’s dogs. Highly recommend 😎🥰”


“Ellie absolutely LOVED her stay with Annie! Annie and her husband are so kind and obviously have a heart for animals. I never doubted for a second that Ellie was in good hands with them :)”


“I keep forgetting to leave a review, but Susan and her family have really set a new bar for me on what to expect for a Rover stay. She takes care of my doggo like her own, writes down and records all her preferences and needs, and is very flexible. Won't leave my dog with anyone else if I can help it!”


“Ana, her house and yard were all perfect for our needy dog, Scooby. After meeting her and her two pups, I was totally at ease leaving him in her caring hands. She sent me updates and pictures regularly and he was obviously happy and content even though he had always had a sitter come to our house. I will definitely use her exclusively in the future and try to schedule future trips when she is available.”


About: Hi! I would love to take care of your dog as my own! I’ve loved animals at a very young age and I’ve had plenty of experience with small puppies/adult dogs. I’m a full time SAHW, I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your fur baby. 🫶🏽 I speak Spanish, I pet sit dogs that speak Spanish as well! (Hablo español, también cuido animalitos/perritos que solo hablan español!) I have plenty of space and fenced back yard! I also have plenty of indoor space. The area I live in is very secluded/safe. I have plenty of outdoor/running space. I also have a big community with available dog walks.

“When we needed to board our dog, the decision was easy - Angela. Our dog is 15 years old and needs 3 daily meds. Angela handled this easily. If you want pictures of your dog, she is your sitter. There is no doubt that we will use Angela again.”


“Catrina and Corey were so wonderful with taking in my dog for a last minute boarding. Both myself and my dog were pretty nervous for his first time staying over at someone’s home but they were so wonderful with him and helped keep me at ease with their constant updates and pictures. I would definitely use them again!”



“Our Gus had an amazing time with Lori. She kept us informed of Gus’s status and sent pictures as well as videos showing him playing. It helped us know that he was having fun and being well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her for other dog owners and we will be utilizing her for future trips. Thank you, Lori!!! Gus and his family”
