“Dennis was an amazing choice to watch my 4 month old puppy. He was able to keep him busy through walks and play, as well as love through lots of cuddles. He provided me plenty of photos and periodic updates about the pup. Can’t recommend him more! We will definitely make sure to bring Ace back to Dennis the next time he needs to be watched.”



“Brittany was amazing she arrived early to pick up Salvy and took amazing care of him. She sent me updates everyday and asked me about everything before she did anything. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs I definitely will be using her services again.”


“Amanda was wonderful with my Great Pyrenees! She went above and beyond! I let her know ahead of time that my dog doesn't typically eat when he's away from home so she used some easy tricks to make his food seem more appealing. All because she truly cared about his well-being. She's the sweetest and was very intentional with her care and attention. She sent tons of updates and pictures too.”


“I cannot recommend Julia enough! They took such amazing care of my pup while I was away, I felt completely at ease the entire time. I got regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and it was clear my dog was happy, safe, and in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”


“Kat did an awesome job watching our puppy overnight. We wanted to attend a tractor pull but knew it would be a late evening. A fellow full time RV couple recommended we try Rover the next time needed to be away from our dog. Kat had us come by a few days early to meet Bama and see how she interacted with her family and pets. Bama passed the test and spent the evening doing her favorite thing…a doggy slumber party. 🎈 Kat sent sweet pics of Bama with her dogs and update messages throughout her stay. We will definitely call Kat again when we need to be away for a good portion of the day or overnight while we are in Florida.”


“Thank you, Ashley and Rowan, for taking such good care of the girls. They are quite anxious, as you now know, and it made me very comfortable that they met you with tails wags and overall excitement rather than their normal skittish, unsure reaction to strangers. I appreciated the videos and photos, your kindness and your work with them while we were away - your communication is top tier and allowed me to be at peace knowing they were being loved in our absence. I know they will be happy to see you again :)”


About: I have successfully run an animal farm and currently volunteer at the animal shelter. I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. I will care for your pet as my own animals! I will care for your pet as my own and your pet will be my top priority! I have run my own business and am great at scheduling as well as communication. I do not have a fenced yard so at my home your pet will always be walked with a leash. If I am in your home I will ensure that I will follow your exact instructions.

“Kristin was awesome! She made us feel at ease while on our mini vacay knowing the doggies were in good hands ❤️ I would definitely recommend using her if you’re looking for someone to love on your babies, Kristin is the person for you! Our dogs were very happy and ready for a nap 😴 when we got them back.”


“Best experience ever! It is obvious Wilfredo has a special gift working with and caring for dogs. He has years of professional training experience, and it shows in the care he provided Pongo. It was nice to know my dog was safe, had personal attention and was well cared for. Pongo even came home with some new manners which I greatly appreciate! I highly recommend. Wilfredo for your doggy day care, and boarding needs.”


“Isabella was amazing. She took care of my two small dogs for six days. I got daily pictures, sometimes more. and they were so happy. She was quick to respond to messages. If I lived in the area I would be hiring her on the regular. Best dog sitter we have had.”


“Rebecca is an excellent dog sitter. She faithfully walked our older dog, sent lots of pictures and took great care of him. The boarding area of her home is neat and well-organized with thoughtfully placed gates to ensure the pets are safe and well-controlled. Will use her again!”


“Christian was the absolute best dog sitter. I knew when we met him he had quite the love for animals. Simon was in his care for 9 days. I was sent updates daily and the most wonderful pictures of my dog having too much fun. When I picked him up I knew he was so well cared for and had a great time interacting with Christian and his dogs. Will definitely recommend him and I will use Christian again.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes my whole life, from tiny pups to gentle giants, and have always had a passion for caring for them. I spent years volunteering at animal shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Becoming a sitter lets me combine my love for dogs with the joy of giving them the care they deserve. Plus, my mini dachshund would love some new playmates to hang out with! Working remotely allows me to dedicate my full attention and energy to your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I’m always there to meet their needs. My flexible schedule ensures they get all the love and care they deserve, just like my own mini dachshund! In my home, your pets will be treated like family. I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can play, relax, and feel at ease. From daily walks and playtime to cozy nap spots and plenty of cuddles, I ensure they’re happy and comfortable. I follow your care instructions closely so they feel right at home while you’re away.

“Fantastic care taker for my 17 year old dog while visiting friends at the Villages! My yorkie went right into the house and got comfortable - he does not do this at his regular kennel back home!!! Clean environment very very nice family!!!”


“Highly recommended! Daily pictures and updates. When we picked them up they (our pups) were not even that excited to see us since they were having so much fun. Will definitely leave them again with Andrew and fam! Thank you!”


“The dogs seemed to have a great time. They were happy and healthy when we picked them up. Korie has several acres for the dogs to run and play. Korie is very responsive and sent lots of pics and videos of the dogs which made me happy and comforted. We will definitely bring our babies back to Korie!”


“Elizabeth was great! I could tell how happy Casey was from the photo updates I would get. She was super understanding of Casey’s needs. Would let him stay again :)”
