Briana is very responsible and accommodating. She responded quickly and was willing to work with me and my dogs. One of my dogs is very nervous around strangers but she’s been super patient with him and I could tell he’s warming up to her. I would definitely recommend Briana.

Ashley was awesome. She was very clear with her availability and very punctual for the scheduled walks while we were away. She's full of energy and that's what my lab needed. We will be definitely using her services again in the near future. I like that we received pictures and also showed the trail, length and time of the walks through the app. We highly recommend Ashley!

About: I have always been an animal lover, and have been watching pets for family and friends for about 5 years. I am available for both in and out of home services, and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I currently have one cat, but when I pet sit, it's generally pups! I'm familiar and comfortable with any size and breed, as well as accommodating to any special dietary or medication needs. I am currently a commuter student at the University of South Florida, so my schedule is very open! I have full availability Friday-Sunday, have class from 3:30 pm-6:15 pm Monday/Wednesday, and have class from 2:00 pm-4:45 pm Tuesday/Thursday. Maintaining open and frequent communication with pet parents is top priority for me! If a client desires frequent updates or photos of their fur babies I will be more than happy to provide them. I also follow feeding and medication regimens very strictly. Additionally, pets will get outside time as much as possible, and cats will get their litterboxes cleaned routinely. Of course, everybody will also get lots of love, pets and belly rubs! In terms of overnight stays, I do everything in my power to leave the home exactly as it was when I arrived. I also have no problem doing some light cleaning if requested!

About: I’m patient and attentive when it comes to animals and their individual needs. I’m physically capable of engaging in any animal-related activities, and I stay observant to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also adapt easily to each animal’s personality and preferences. As a college student without a current job, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day and week to care for pets. This fits well into my routine and gives me the opportunity to focus fully on their needs. I provide a safe, loving environment, follow routines closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. We currently have our own dog park on SniffSpot. We love meeting all the different dog friends! I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and sticking to training routines, whether it’s crate training a puppy or assisting with mobility support for an older dog. Beyond basic care, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I always go the extra mile to make sure their routines are followed and their personalities are embraced. I work from home and my daughter is homeschooled so we are available to make your pets feel welcomed & have lots of fun! We would love the opportunity to care for your pups! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their routine. In your home: I make sure your pet stays in their familiar environment, following their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of companionship and send regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space as if it were my own. In my home: I create a welcoming, stress-free space that’s pet-friendly and secure. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure each one gets lots of individual attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and provide lots of play, cuddle time, and outdoor breaks. We have a fenced in yard with acres to run! My home is a calm, loving place where your pet will feel safe and cared for.

About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!

About: As a compassionate person, care for animals has always been a calling for me. From puppies to senior care, compassion drives my heart and leads my care. I currently am a working artist, part-time so I have plenty of time to play with kitties, feed and scoop litter, and overall help the cats have a great day! Cats are my personal favorite so I would be more than happy to help you out with yours! Dogs are my second favorite, and provide me opportunities to leave the house and enjoy nature! Safety is a first concern at any location, I feel cats are more comfortable in their own environment so I would be more than happy to priced location services or even a camera for you to see your fur baby.

About: I began pet sitting as a teenager, and have had dogs and cats around me my whole life! I treat every pet as if they are my own, and love getting to know their little Goldilocks personalities! These days, I help out when I can, whether that's house sitting for family (and there's a pig involved!) or for my buddies' pets. I can promise your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and making sure they are safe and comfortable! Endless love for the ones afraid of thunder! I'm currently available from Tuesdays to Saturdays at any time! I will be beginning school at Valencia College this fall, and hoping to keep loving on pets! Will post a detailed schedule once classes are closer to beginning. I will always follow any instruction given to me, whether that is sticking to feeding schedules, managing medications, or leash rules. I want your pet to feel calm and comfortable, even when you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages to ensure your baby is having a good time!

About: Over the past four years, I've gained extensive experience in caring for dogs. I've successfully rescued and trained Harley and temporarily fostered Snoop until finding him a loving home. It's rare for me to only have one dog in my household, as I'm often looking after a friend's dog when I'm not caring for a Rover dog. Harley and I thoroughly enjoy making new friends, especially when they're furry and four-legged. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to welcome new furry friends into my life. I am excited to offer my services for pet sitting, whether it's for dogs or cats. Your pets will receive all the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away. I can’t wait to connect with you and ensure that your pets have a fantastic experience. Let’s create some wonderful moments together—we'll have a great time! I have a spacious, fenced-in back patio that offers an inviting environment for dogs to move around freely and engage in playful activities. This area is perfect for them to stretch their legs, chase after toys, or simply relax in the sun. Additionally, there's a large fenced yard located nearby (you can check out the picture in the gallery), along with plenty of open green spaces that are ideal for enjoyable walks and playtime. I understand that each dog has its own preferences, whether they enjoy leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or prefer to stay close to home. I am committed to following your instructions and ensuring that your dog's needs are met. Under my attentive supervision, your furry friend will have the freedom to be active, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure environment. For overnight stays, your dog will be accommodated in my cozy second bedroom, which is thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable daybed, a play mat, soft blankets, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained (picture in gallery) If you need any additional items or specific arrangements to make your pup feel at home, please don't hesitate to ask—I have various supplies available to ensure a delightful stay for your furry companion.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, including training my own four dogs in potty training and basic obedience. Working from home half of the month allows me to provide constant care and attention. My patience and genuine love for animals ensure they receive the utmost care and companionship while under my watch. Whether it's puppies needing training or seniors requiring extra care, I'm equipped to handle various needs with dedication and expertise. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's woven into the fabric of my day because I adore my four furry friends. Every morning starts with wagging tails and wet noses, as I feed them, take them for walks, and shower them with cuddles. Throughout the day, there are endless games of fetch, belly rubs, and treats to keep their tails wagging and their hearts happy. Their well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. As a hybrid employee balancing work and pet care, I dedicate 40 hours a week to my job, but my furry friends are always a priority. Fortunately, I'm home every weekend and spend two full weeks each month at home, providing ample time for attentive care and companionship. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, your pets will receive the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. For boarding, your pet will become a part of our family, enjoying cozy accommodations, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention. During dog walks, your furry friend will explore the neighborhood, stretch their legs, and receive personalized care tailored to their needs. With in-home check-ins, your pet will receive visits filled with playtime, feeding, and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.

About: Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- I am also certified in pet first aid/ CPR. I’m currently taking a course to be a certified dog enrichment technician. On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I started out as a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. As of April 2024, I’m a certified professional dog trainer specializing in puppy training, obedience behaviors, tricks, and mild reactivity. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates”: Holiday Price Boarding $56/night Day Care $48 Drop In/Walk $30/$38 Puppy Price Boarding $60/night Day Care $45 Drop In $27 **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.** Dan and I are dog lovers with no kids and 3 obedient dogs. I'm usually home and Dan works out of our home so we make a great team taking care of all the pups here. We are flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services: Dog bath: $10 under 25 lbs and $15 for dogs 25-40 lbs Nail grind (small-med dogs): $15 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10

About: I have been around dogs large and small dogs my entire life. My father was a breeder so I’ve been handling pups from birth until old age. I am available full time and work from home. My house is dog friendly with a park one block away. I love to run so if your dog is a runner they will get plenty of exercise. If your dog has any special needs then I am more than willing to accommodate. Please let me meet your puppy, give you peace of mind, and cuddle them with lots of love. I work full time from home so my schedule is open most days! I always mark my calendar unavailable on days that I have other plans. I have a big park right behind my home and tons of walking space and grass. If you prefer your dog to be crated that is always possible.

About: Owning a variety of pets myself, I am capable of caring for a number of different pets! If left a list of instructions, I am not close-minded to new experiences. I currently have 1 dog, a hedgehog, and recently had one bearded dragon, and have had other pets in the past. I am extremely responsible, and will be available for daily walks, drop-ins, and overnights at the owner's. I am also comfortable teaching basic leash training with positive reinforcement. My other job occupies 8 hours of my day; however, I keep an excellent line of communication and can adjust to accommodate my clients. I am flexible with my services and payments (I accept cash, Venmo, or Apple Pay). Please connect for further questions! With my services, your fur-babies will be treated as family members to ensure their maximum comfort! It would be an honor to connect with you and get to love on your pets! I work in Costa Mesa Monday- Friday in the early mornings until 1pm. After work I am free to care for your pets! A typical afternoon for my dog includes a long walk around town, a nature park, and the beach. We have play time in the dog park where we burn out zoomies and work on obedience and performance skills. By night time my boys are ready for cuddles and their bedtime snack. Though this is my routine, I am very flexible and eager to adapt to the best routine for your pets while under my care! ◡̈ At the moment, I do NOT accept paw-cations (when a pup sleeps over in my home) because my dog is going through obedience/ reaction training. In no way will I risk the safety/ comfort of another family's pet during my services. During drop-ins and overnight stays, your pets will be loved as if they were my own! My personal fur-babies are treated as my "children"; this is behavior is a guarantee while I tend to others' pets as well. My intent is to replicate (as closely as possible) the owner's behavior, so that minimum stress is brought upon pets!

Michelle was an excellent dog sitter! We watched my Rottweiler, Sam while I was out of town for a weekend and she was great! She checked in with me consistently to let me know how everything was going. She also shared pictures with me. She is very friendly and lighthearted and her dog Mochi is a beautiful little puppy.

Jyana is a great choice to walk your dogs or just look after them. Her own dog is always beautifully maintained and well behaved, as well as spoiled and healthy. I trust her entirely with my difficult corgi who has reactivity towards dogs and men as well as typical corgi attitude problems. She also does very well with my cat and respects his boundaries but still loves up on him when he wants it. She is very responsible and reliable and has a great response time. She has had experience working at a vet and is studying animals. She is also very respectful and adaptable to any plans and communications.

I have known Cali for over 30 years. She has been a pet lover and pet owner for as long as I’ve known her. She’s a loving, caring and responsible caretaker. Her home is a pet sanctuary. She has cats, a bird and until recently had dogs. She has also cared for my animals, two cats and one dog when I’ve gone on vacation. I trust her completely with my animals and I know she will be a perfect fit for Rover. I recommend her highly.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. We currently have our own dog park on SniffSpot. We love meeting all the different dog friends! I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and sticking to training routines, whether it’s crate training a puppy or assisting with mobility support for an older dog. Beyond basic care, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I always go the extra mile to make sure their routines are followed and their personalities are embraced. I work from home and my daughter is homeschooled so we are available to make your pets feel welcomed & have lots of fun! We would love the opportunity to care for your pups! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their routine. In your home: I make sure your pet stays in their familiar environment, following their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of companionship and send regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space as if it were my own. In my home: I create a welcoming, stress-free space that’s pet-friendly and secure. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure each one gets lots of individual attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and provide lots of play, cuddle time, and outdoor breaks. We have a fenced in yard with acres to run! My home is a calm, loving place where your pet will feel safe and cared for.

About: I have been around dogs most of my life and truly enjoy their company. I love taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they stay active, happy, and mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m attentive to their individual needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication and helping them move around comfortably. I’m also patient with puppies and enjoy helping with basic training and reinforcing positive behavior. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with each pet and the peace of mind I provide to their owners through reliable, loving care. I currently work from home which gives me the flexibility to be available for early morning and in the afternoon. I can provide safe and reliable care for your furry family Your dog will be a top priority. I will always arrive on time and provide reliable service for your pet. A happy pet is a healthy pet.

If you're looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals from the heart — look no further. Kendra is kind, caring, and incredibly intuitive with every pet she meets. She just knows what they need, whether it's extra cuddles, a calm presence, or some playful energy. Our pets absolutely adore her. In fact, all we have to do is say her name and the tails start wagging instantly! It's like they know their favorite human is on the way. She spoils them in the best ways, making sure they’re safe, loved, and happy. Honestly, you can’t find a better person to care for your babies. She's not just a pet sitter — she's family!

I would Highly recommend Hailey to pet sit anyone's "fur babies". We have two large dogs and a pot-bellied indoor pig, Hailey was able to manage all three without any issues. She visited three times a day and spent plenty of time playing with each of them. It gave me peace of mind, knowing she was taking such good care of them.

About: Over the past four years, I've gained extensive experience in caring for dogs. I've successfully rescued and trained Harley and temporarily fostered Snoop until finding him a loving home. It's rare for me to only have one dog in my household, as I'm often looking after a friend's dog when I'm not caring for a Rover dog. Harley and I thoroughly enjoy making new friends, especially when they're furry and four-legged. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to welcome new furry friends into my life. I am excited to offer my services for pet sitting, whether it's for dogs or cats. Your pets will receive all the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away. I can’t wait to connect with you and ensure that your pets have a fantastic experience. Let’s create some wonderful moments together—we'll have a great time! I have a spacious, fenced-in back patio that offers an inviting environment for dogs to move around freely and engage in playful activities. This area is perfect for them to stretch their legs, chase after toys, or simply relax in the sun. Additionally, there's a large fenced yard located nearby (you can check out the picture in the gallery), along with plenty of open green spaces that are ideal for enjoyable walks and playtime. I understand that each dog has its own preferences, whether they enjoy leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or prefer to stay close to home. I am committed to following your instructions and ensuring that your dog's needs are met. Under my attentive supervision, your furry friend will have the freedom to be active, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure environment. For overnight stays, your dog will be accommodated in my cozy second bedroom, which is thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable daybed, a play mat, soft blankets, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained (picture in gallery) If you need any additional items or specific arrangements to make your pup feel at home, please don't hesitate to ask—I have various supplies available to ensure a delightful stay for your furry companion.

If you are looking for a dog loving caregiver for your dog vely is the girl for you. She is kind hearted and patient and may even teach your dog a new trick! She puppy sat my 8 week old puppy for few days while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. Despite the fact that he wasn't crate trained yet and had bad separation anxiety and cried all night she was patient with him and took amazing care of him, even helped us start out side potty training him. So I 10/10 recommend her for any type care for your dog.

Raelyn loves dogs! When we are out in public it is almost impossible for her to not stop and ask someone about their dog and if she can pet them. She spoils her dog royally and would do the same for any dog she could. You won’t regret considering her to care for your dog!!🐾
