Dog Sitting Gardner

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I live in a house in Miami with a fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime and exercise. Pets in my care are treated like family — they get plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will never be left alone for long. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm senior dog, I always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and happy during their stay. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to give constant attention and care to your pets. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends, with flexible hours for drop-off and pick-up. My home is a safe and loving environment with a fenced yard for outdoor play. Pets are always supervised, and I keep the space clean and comfortable. I can provide crate time if needed and ensure every dog gets the right balance of fun, rest, and affection. Your pup will feel at home from the moment they arrive!

“It’s so simple to see that Sandra is the best sitter for our dog. She adores her like she is her own. I highly recommend booking with her!”

About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.

“Awesome help and great care for our pups!”

“Elisa was flexible and fabulous with our old man.”

About: Hi, my name is Kathleen, and I am an experienced pet care handler. I have cared for dogs and cats of all various sizes and behaviors. A few examples of dogs I've worked with are corgis, pitbulls, and great pyrenees. I can handle most breeds and have worked with shy dogs, protective dogs, and highly energetic dogs. For the last 3 years, I have also volunteered as a dog walker for an animal shelter. I feel comfortable around most types of dogs and cats, and I would love to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently have 2 cats of my own while living in KC for Grad school. I am mature, energetic, reliable, dependable, and, most importantly, sensitive to the unique needs of our furry babies. I'm currently in grad school and looking to fit this into my schedule. I'm available most mornings, 6 am to 8 am, and in the afternoon, after 4:30 pm for dog walking. I do have lunch breaks where I can do a drop-in and check on your furry baby. I am available weekends for walking, drop-in, or house sitting. I want to assure animals in my care will feel comfortable, loved, and safe. During visits and/or walks, I will always have my attention focused on your pet and will immediately remove them from any dangerous situation right away. I want them to be happy going on walks and getting to spend time out in nature.

About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my life. I grew up around farm animals and have owned and cared for dogs ranging in size from a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane. I also raised a puppy through the Leader Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising program in Michigan and have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at two veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages and needs. I especially love learning about canine behavior and training and am always reading and continuing to learn. I’m currently working with my daughter as she learns about showing dogs with the goal of becoming an AKC Junior Handler. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine, and I prioritize safety, communication and making pets feel comfortable while their people are away. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during every visit. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, making me a great fit for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, playtime or companionship while their owners are at work or away. I also offer evening and weekend availability when my schedule allows and am happy to discuss recurring weekly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s normal routine, temperament, handling preferences and any special instructions before providing care. During visits, I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and other potential safety concerns and will always follow your care instructions closely. My previous experience working as a veterinary assistant has made me particularly observant of changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and will treat your home, privacy and belongings with respect. I provide dependable communication and am happy to send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.

About: Empathy and enthusiasm. Well-versed in law enforcement, military, and civilian canine care. All breeds, all sizes. I'm here for you and your beloved family members. I am available morning, afternoon, evening, or weekends to assist our furry friends. From basic exercise to comfort sessions, I'm here to assist your dog's needs. On leash outside or playful in residence. My skills and experience are unparalleled. Your needs are my utmost priorities. I provide concierge level service to all canine breeds.

About: We have a big fenced in backyard for lots of room for dogs to roam and explore. We live in a small cul de sac and quiet neighborhood where walks would be enjoyable. We have had several pets we have raised from young to old. We have taught basics of sit, lay, shake, and stay. I work from home and have the availability to play with your dog, give lots of snuggles, and let them have time outdoors and playtime with other dogs. I work from home and have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, and a gecko (gecko doesn’t really come around other fur babies). My dogs are social and love to play with others. With our big fenced in backyard the dogs will have lots of room to run around and play. If your dog needs to be kenneled we can accommodate that.

About: I worked at a vet clinic for two years. I have always loved all animals in all shapes and sizes from tiny babies to senior animals! I am a full time student with a full time job but I have lots of free time when I am not busy with them. Over this summer I will be fully open and am completely flexible! I will keep your fur babies always in an eye view when playing outside and on leash if necessary. I will make sure they do not get into anything they aren’t supposed to at your home as well. I will care for your pet like you were never gone, they will never even notice you left!

“Kaitlyn is so reliable and we are so thankful to have her for these quick drop in visits when we are gone for a long evening. She makes sure our pups do their business and get a bit of love while we are away. She gives us so much piece of mind to enjoy our evening. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

About: Hello! My name is Lucy, and I’m so excited to welcome your pup into my home! I have over 12 years of experience working in the pet care industry, including roles at two dog daycares, a veterinary hospital, and a puppy store. Through these experiences, I have gained extensive knowledge of canine behavior, health, enrichment, and providing individualized care for dogs with different needs. I am Dog First Aid Certified and Dog CPR Certified, with experience in medication administration, senior pet care, and animal hospice support. While I now work from home as a social worker, I continue my passion for caring for animals by running my in-home boarding business through Rover. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and a comfortable routine for the dogs in my care. I treat every pup like they are part of my family and strive to create a safe, loving, and enriching home environment where they can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to meet your pup, learn about their personality and routines, and provide them with the care, patience, and love they deserve! Welcome to Chip’s Dog House! My boarding business is dedicated to my sweet beagle, Chip, who tragically passed away from cancer in 2024 at just 8 years old. He inspired me to create a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home for other dogs. I provide a structured, safe, and fun in-home boarding experience for dogs in my care. My home operates more like a small, personalized daycare rather than traditional boarding, with a maximum of 8 dogs per day so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Throughout the day, dogs follow a consistent routine that includes frequent outdoor play, enrichment, social time, and scheduled quiet time indoors to rest and recharge. I believe dogs do best with a balance of activity and downtime, so I provide opportunities for them to play, relax, and feel comfortable in a home environment. For meals, all dogs are fed separately to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable during feeding times. Owners only need to provide their dog’s food — I provide everything else, including bowls, toys, blankets, bedding, and other supplies needed for their stay. When I need to leave the home for errands, meetings, appointments, or my daughter’s activities, dogs relax in our designated boarding room. This space is set up specifically for boarding and includes comfortable beds, blankets, toys, and fresh water so dogs have a safe and cozy place to rest while I am away. Cleanliness and safety are a top priority. Between each stay, all areas are sanitized, bedding is washed, bowls are cleaned, and supplies are refreshed to provide a clean environment for every dog. I am home most of the day with my 3 year old daughter, which allows me to provide frequent supervision and interaction. While I do leave the house for necessary activities, I maintain a structured routine so your dog has a safe, predictable, and comfortable experience. Boarding Requirements Must be fully potty trained Must have no history of property damage Must be spayed or neutered Must be dog-friendly Must be up to date on vaccinations Must be free of fleas, ticks, and contagious illnesses No history of aggression toward people or other animals Pick-Up & Drop-Off Pick-up and drop-off hours are 8:00 AM–9:00 PM All pick-up and drop-off times must be communicated and agreed upon in advance Please do not arrive outside of your scheduled time without prior communication

About: Hey! I’m Alissa, and I’ve spent over 4 years loving on animals through doggy daycares, a humane society, and now as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities— from bouncy puppies to sweet senior pets who just need a little extra TLC. I’m especially experienced with older pets and those with medical needs, and I always take a gentle, low-stress approach to make sure they feel safe and comfy. Got a shy or nervous pup? No worries—I’m super patient and all about building trust at their pace. I also enjoy helping young dogs learn the basics (like sit, stay, shake, and lie down), and I can even trim nails for those who are chill with it! Whether your pet is playful, sensitive, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own and do my best to keep them happy while you're away. I currently work at an animal hospital 4 days a week (Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and alternating weekends) until around 5:30 PM. ✅ Available: Tuesday – Open availability Evenings after 7:00 PM-9:00 PM on workdays Midday weekends – typically free between morning/evening shifts Let me know your pet's routine, and I’ll do my best to fit them in with the care they deserve! When I care for pets in their own home, I try to keep things as normal, safe, and comfy as possible—like you never even left! I take the time to get to know your pet’s unique quirks, routines, and favorites so they feel totally at ease with me. I stick closely to your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, meds, walk times, or just knowing which toy is the real favorite. For seniors, shy pets, or those with anxiety, I use a calm approach and let them take the lead so they feel safe and respected. I’m totally cool with alarms, crates, and all the little home details, and I always treat your space with care. You’ll get regular updates and cute photos from me so you know everything’s going great. I hope to make every animal feel relaxed, happy, and most of all loved.

About: I have a very flexible schedule so I can take care of your pets almost anytime. I love going on hikes and would love to take your dog or dogs with me. I have lots of experience with large high energy dogs and would be happy to help them burn that energy by taking them on walk, jog, or to swim at the lake/river. I also have experience caring for cats, small animals, and reptiles. Im happy to stay in your home with your pets so they are not lonely or to just drop in. I have basic dog training skills and would love to teach your pet a few tricks(sit, shake, stay, lay, etc) or help them walk on leash politely. Im also happy to help with potty training puppies.

About: I've lived with animals nearly my entire life, and I've looked after pets for friends and family since I was young. In addition to feeding and basic care, I've dealt with elderly, special needs, and temperamental pets. I'm currently writing my doctoral dissertation for my degree at KU, so my summer is very open and flexible until I find more permanent work. I always attempt to forge a trusting friendship with any animal that I care for, frequently using their name and talking to them calmly. For my own cats, I do my best to clean their litterboxes and food areas frequently (when they aren't demanding pets and scritches, that is).

“Alejandra did an amazing job looking after our two kitties! It can be very difficult to find a sitter that you trust to look after your babies and she proved to be very trustworthy and attentive. We will book again! 💕”

“Nico is truly a pet whisperer. She has such a gentle, intuitive way with animals, and my senior dog, Pen Pen, absolutely adores her. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and takes the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She’s also incredibly respectful of my home and consistently goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Knowing Pen Pen is with someone so attentive and compassionate gives me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Nico to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and thoughtful care for their pets—especially senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention.”

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

About: Hello! I’m Sarah! I’m an animal lover and have experience with pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes! I think the most important part of caring for any pet is getting to know them! I would love to meet for your furry friend! Pet care is such a huge part of my life. Between my zoo of animals and the ones I get to meet through rover it is a full time job. I have never had a job I loved more! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very much! All of them are spoiled rotten. My cats are indoor and my pitbull-dachshund mix comes and goes inside/outside as he pleases! Every pet is different and every household operates differently, so I am willing and ready to care for your pet however you may prefer!

About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid in the field/remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.
