“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

“Sammy is awesome! She took care of my small pup wonderfully. We picked our dog late due to some unexpected delay at Rocky Mountain, but Sammy kindly understood us. Thank you! Also Ohsam loved playing with Sammy's pup!”


“Highly recommend Brandon! He was quick to respond and Django said he was really cool to hang out with 😃. Took him for a long walk and sent me a picture of him, too. We will absolutely contact Brandon for future visits.”


About: Most people teach dogs tricks. I help dogs find peace. I specialize in grounding high-energy, anxious, or shelter-raised dogs into calm, balanced companions. With a quiet home, a spacious yard, and structured daily walks, I create the conditions dogs need to reset their nervous systems. Whether your dog is easygoing or a handful, I meet them where they are — and lead them where they need to go. I’m not just a dog-sitter — I’m a calm, structured presence. I got my start fostering dogs from the shelter. Following the teachings of Caesar Milan, I was astounded how quickly wound up, hyper dogs can learn to let go and feel safe. Dogs don’t just stay with me; they reset with me. I understand how to lead, not just entertain. Whether it’s leash manners, excessive barking, or anxious pacing, I address the root of the behavior by giving dogs the one thing they crave most: leadership. When they leave my home, they’re calmer, more confident, and more connected. My home is safe, secure, and peaceful. Dogs are kept in a calm state here, with clear boundaries and zero chaos. The backyard is large and fully enclosed with a high 6-foot fence — plenty of room to roam, sniff, and reset. Inside the home, the energy is stable and quiet. No kids, no clutter, no overstimulation. Just a grounded environment where your dog can relax, decompress, and feel safe at all times.

“Jessica’s the best! I drop my dog off twice a week for 12 hours at a time and he always gets so excited to go. She takes him on trails sometimes, but he’s also just so happy being at her house with her and her dogs. They play a lot! I also love the cute pictures and videos she se sends throughout the day!”


“Krystal and her family are amazing, Tommy loved her and her kids and got excited to see her. I would 100% recommend her and I will be contacting her when we come back to visit Tampa!”


About: This girl. I'm that person at your party that spends the whole night playing with your dog instead of socializing. And while it doesn't win me friends, it makes me a great dog sitter for your pup. I've got two little guys of my own, Chachi and Mac. I love rescues (and really all dogs tbh) and both my husband and I work from home so we spend a lot of time together. I believe that as much as dogs need food, water, and bathroom breaks, they need attention and love, as well. So, that means I'll be making sure your pets meet their maslow's hierarchy of dog needs. And if those needs include a lot of pets, playing, and occasional treats--I'm your man. I work from home and make my own hours so am available to work around your schedule. Please provide as much advance notice as possible and account for proximity when booking. While I have a fenced backyard, it isn't very large. I don't recommend large excitable dogs that need a lot of outdoor space to stay here. Additionally, as stated before, I have two small dogs. All dogs staying my house MUST BE FRIENDLY.

“Thank you so much Brent & David for taking care of Flaco! Your love and caring for Flaco was exceptional; he was very happy when we picked him up every night.”


About: Senior care, kittens/puppies, special needs. I have had animals all my life and connect with them on a different level. I often hear people say that their dog or cat doesn’t like people when they like me. I’m flattered and appreciative of their trust. I understand what that takes & I return it with love. I am a corporate professional, currently going back to school, pursuing my dream of getting a degree in Interior Design. My classes are virtual which gives me a lot if flexibility. I spend my time with my 2 cats and dog while studying. I care for my fur babies like they are my children, because they literally are my kids. I have had several special needs pets, and know how to handle challenging situations. I love to meet new people and their pets. I often find myself stopping to say hello to a random stranger, bonding over their fur baby. It’s the constant connection in my life.

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver and walker!? With me your dog baby will receive attention through dog walks, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. In the past I have traveled in the city with dogs doing activities such as bike riding and long distance walking. The Services I do provide are feeding, exercise walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.
