“Emily was awesome she took care of my 3 pups for the weekend while I was attending a wedding out of town she took great care of them sending me updates and pictures I will definitely be using her service again in the future Thank you Emily”

“Lydia was excellent! Attentive, courteous, respectful and took amazing care of our two pups and outdoor cat! She stayed at our home, took great care and respect of the space, and kept in communication as needed. The dogs loved her and we look forward to being able to use her again!”

About: I have 4 years of professional experience caring for dogs at two dog daycares. I worked as a Doggy Daycare Attendant at Lucky Dog Pet Lodge, where I often independently cared for 60+ dogs at a time, monitored their behavior, kept them safe, and provided feedings, bathing, cleaning, enrichment, and daily care. I also worked as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Shift Lead at Doggie Doo’s Spa & Retreat, where I helped oversee daily daycare operations, prepared meals, administered medications and insulin injections, monitored pets’ health and behavior, and helped with bathing, and general care. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, affection, and lots of conversation! I talk to them, get to know their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. My own Yorkie, Coco, is my world, and I would give every pet in my care that same love and attention. I recently moved to Fort Myers, Florida, with just myself and my nine-year-old Yorkie, Coco. I am currently staying with a friend who actually owns Coco’s mom, Chloe, and she also has two Dachshunds and two cats of her own, so I’m surrounded by animals every day! I knew Rover would be an absolutely amazing fit for me because I have so much experience caring for dogs. I have worked at two separate doggy daycares, including experience as a shift lead, and I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have plenty of time to dedicate to helping pet owners care for their beloved pets, as pet sitting will be my primary job at this time. This gives me the flexibility to be there when families need me and to give each pet the individual attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I would love the opportunity to become someone you can trust and rely on to care for your furry family members just as I would care for my own. ❤️🐾 I care very deeply about all of the pets in my home, and I truly believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and included. My Yorkie, Coco, is nine years old and takes medication in the morning and at bedtime. I also make sure her food is softened to a mushy, baby-food-like consistency so she can swallow it properly. Her birth mom, Chloe, also sleeps with us, and whenever Coco gets her morning medication, Chloe gets a little piece of a pill pocket too—just so she doesn’t feel left out! ❤️ In the morning, I also check on the two Dachshunds, who are both boys. I let them out of their kennel, pick up any poop, clean up any accidents, change their potty pads, make sure they have plenty of fresh water, and get them ready to come out and play. The two cats have their own set feeding schedule, with their food dispensing automatically at the appropriate times. My friend’s dogs also eat once a day at bedtime, while Coco eats breakfast and dinner. At 8:30 PM, Coco gets her bedtime snack along with her nighttime medication, and all of the dogs get a bedtime snack so everyone feels included. Around 10:00–10:30 PM, it’s bedtime for me, Coco, and Chloe, who both sleep with me. The pups also get a little midnight snack—just a couple of pieces of a pill pocket—and Coco gets another potty break outside. Throughout the day, she gets plenty of opportunities to go outside, while the other three dogs use potty pads indoors. The cats are wonderful about using their litter boxes, and of course, they get treats too—cat treats, not dog treats! 🐱❤️ I also love creating a calm and relaxing environment for the animals. We listen to instrumental lullabies in the morning to help everyone have a peaceful start to the day, and lullabies play throughout the night at bedtime. During the day, there is plenty of playtime, singing, dancing, cuddling, and of course, lots of talking! One of my favorite things is talking to the animals as if they can actually answer me. I’ll ask them if they remember where I put something, and for just a split second, I genuinely expect them to verbally answer me. Then we giggle about it! 😂🐾 That’s just who I am. I talk to the dogs and cats all day long like they’re little humans, and I love when they communicate with me in their own special ways. I’m also currently helping train my friend’s dogs, and they are doing really well! They have been learning commands such as sit and stay, and I even taught them how to dance for a treat. We’re also working on shaking paws and lying down. They’re learning slowly but surely, and I’m so proud of the progress they’re making! When your pets are in my care, I want them to feel like they are part of the family—not simply being watched, but genuinely loved, cared for, talked to, played with, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. 🐶🐱❤️

“Tracy was amazing as always. Our Cali girl thinks she is part of the family.”

“Regina is an amazing dog sitter and person . I got picture’s and updates from her though out the day of my two puppies. They were happy and well taken care of. My house was spotless just the way I left it. Amazing job thank you Regina.😊”

Katie C.

“Victoria is fabulous! Our english bulldog adored her time with her and my husband and I felt like we had to step up our game a bit after returning home! That’s how intentional she was with our sweet baby. I did not worry about her once and we have never left her longer than a couple days. It was a joy seeing all the photos and hearing about how the day went. Victoria follows through, she is kind and loving, and communicates so efficiently!!”

About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.

“Mia was enthusiastic and gave our dogs all the love and attention they crave. She kept me informed if anything seemed off, and we came home to a tidy house and happy pups. We'd love to use her services again!”

“Terri is the best! We’ve never left our dog overnight with anyone before and Terri alleviated all of our worries. She was very communicative and understanding. I will 100% be rebooking with her!!”

“Angelina was great. She took good care of our dog as well as our house. Our flight was delayed overnight so she changed her plans and returned last minute. We’ll call on her again as needed.”

Martha R.

“Aaniya was an incredible dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our three dogs and kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is such a kind and thoughtful person—even going out of her way to buy more treats when we ran out. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, I highly recommend Aaniya!”

Hannah R.

“Melissa was fantastic with my dogs. She made a few visits to make sure they knew her. She genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort to know that my pups were getting such special care while we were away.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since birth! 🐾 I grew up with at least two cats and two dogs at all times, and I volunteered and fostered dogs at a shelter for eight months while living in Mexico. As a passionate world traveler, I’ve also had the opportunity to meet incredible animals, from kangaroo and koala to luwak and stingray! I truly love all animals and believe pets deserve the same love, patience, and care we give our family. ❤️ I’d love to make your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work as a part-time flight attendant, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting! I’m unable to have pets of my own at the moment, so I’d love the opportunity to give your furry friends extra love and attention while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home! Whether your pet wants cuddles, playtime, or simply someone nearby, I’ll respect their personality and boundaries. I’m tidy, responsible, and respectful of your space, and I’ll follow your pet’s routines while giving them all the love and attention they need.

About: I love animals of all kinds and know they’re apart of the family for many. While you’re at work or out and about, who’s to watch the little fur babies? I’ve had personal work with dogs for about 12 years now, both with my own pets and that of family friends’ pets. I’ve worked with cats for about 6 years. I know each animal has their own individual personality and temperament and may require patience, of which I have plenty :). I don’t mind walking pets and or staying in and playing/watching them as needed. Just tell me you and your pets requirements and I’m the girl for the job. Hire me and I can guarantee I’ll provide plenty of play, attention, belly rubs, and of course love to your pets. Hi! I'm Alex. I am a college student currently minoring in psychology. I am very motivated to enhance my understanding of other people and their communication styles, and because I have found cultural exchanges to be some of the most rewarding experiences in my life, I believe that getting to observe other people's homes and lifestyles while pet sitting would be a very insightful encounter. I love to go for long walks no matter what weather, I love nature probably as much as your pet does. In my free time when I wouldn't be caring for your fur babies, and I am a considerably clean individual who has a tendency to clean and organize when she gets bored.

About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!

“Sabrina saved the day for us when the rover we had scheduled cancelled after we were already on the road for our trip. She was already booked but found a solution for us and had her mom help care for our pups. They both did an amazing job and put us at ease! I work from home so my dogs are spoiled with attention and they assured us they would do the same for them! Will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: grew up with dogs and have over 7 years of experience walking and caring for them. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I currently work hybrid with the ability to work from home throughout the week. I am required to go into the office on Thursdays but can work around my schedule to care for your animals. I care for pets in their own home, as my roommate has a dog who gets anxious around other animals. I’m very clean, respectful, and will treat your home as if it were my own. You can feel confident knowing your pet and space are in good hands.
