“As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous about leaving Mayer and Chewie, but Latisha completely blew us away! She is truly the sweetest girl and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. We received wonderful updates and could tell the boys were in the absolute best hands. Latisha treated Mayer and Chewie like her own, and we came home to two very happy, relaxed pets. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Latisha!”

“This was my first time using a dog sitter, and I was definitely a little nervous. One of my boys can be particularly cautious around strangers, but Toby warmed up to Angelo much faster than I expected. That immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the entire stay, Angelo was communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. He sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and it was obvious my boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Seeing them relaxed and enjoying themselves made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the care Angelo provided and the peace of mind he gave me while I was away. I have definitely found the right person for my fur kids, and I won’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was 10 years old—and caring for them has never felt like a job, it’s just who I am. Growing up, we loved our family dog so well that people used to joke they wanted to come back as our dog one day. My very first job at 12 was caring for a neighbor’s dog twice a day, and I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family ever since. I’m often told dogs naturally gravitate toward me—and honestly, I adore them right back (maybe a little more than people…haha). What truly sets me apart is my experience across all life stages: - Puppy support: I’m patient, consistent, and happy to reinforce basic training, routines, and positive behaviors. - Senior & special care: My first dog, Gunnar, was diagnosed with kidney disease as a puppy and given 7 years to live—he made it to 14.5. As he aged, he became deaf and blind, and I learned how to adapt, communicate, and care for him with compassion and attentiveness. - Emotional awareness: I’m very tuned in to dogs’ behavior and comfort levels, especially those who are anxious, shy, or extra attached to their humans. Today, I have a 7-year-old Schnauzer/Maltese cross named Louie, who is well-socialized, gentle, and up to date on all vaccinations. My home is calm, safe, and full of love—your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, you can expect: - A warm, welcoming environment - Plenty of attention, activity, and cuddles - Reliable communication and genuine care It would truly be an honor to be someone you trust with your dog. I will care for them the same way I care for my own—with patience, love, and attention to what makes them feel safe and happy. Pet care isn’t something I “fit in”—it is my routine. I’ve intentionally built my days around caring for dogs because it’s something I truly love. Your pup will get consistent attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m home often, so they won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone focused on their comfort and care. My husband and I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to feel comfortable and relaxed. We have a 15 lb Schnauzer/Maltese mix named Louie, so our home is already set up with dogs in mind. We’re on the third floor, but there is elevator access if needed, and we have great amenities for dogs—including nearby walking trails, a fenced dog park on the property, and even a dog wash station for convenience. In our home, your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles, while also respecting their usual routines and comfort levels. When caring for pets in your home, I’m very respectful of your space and will treat it with care and professionalism. I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific commands or training you use, so they experience as much consistency as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I aim to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for your pet while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something that genuinely makes me happy. I understand how important pets are because they’re family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, so they get the best possible experience. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and fully dedicated to your pet’s well-being. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’ve always been around animals. I plan my days so I have plenty of time for feeding, playtime, and attention, and I stay flexible for different needs. Spending time with pets is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I make each visit something your pet looks forward to! Whether it’s a drop-in or a walk, I stick to their routine while adding plenty of love, playtime, belly rubs, and treats (if allowed). I pay attention to their mood and energy so they feel comfortable and cared for every time. My goal is to keep them happy, relaxed, and feeling like they’re with someone they trust

“Katie is awesome! She took care of our two boys (cat and dog) while we were away. We loved seeing their little report cards! We could tell they were so comfortable with her and that she took great care of them. We would definitely book her again!”


About: Raised around pets and passionate about animal care. Experienced pet sitter and dog walker dedicated to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently out of work for the summer (elementary teacher), so I have plenty of time to spare to care for, play with, and give loads of pets to your furry family member! For my drop-in service, the first thing that you can expect me to do is get to know the pup that I will be taking care of for you (sniffs, gentleness, and patience). Once your pet is comfortable, I will stick to the routine you give me. Morning walks before breakfast? Bathroom break after dinner? I will do exactly that! Of course, I will spend some time playing with them and petting them, if they want me to, before leaving. I will never push your dog outside their comfort zone, and I will always respect their homes too.

About: I have been a life-long pet owner. I love hanging out with animals, getting to know their nature and offering them fun playtime and comfort. I am in freelance, so I make my own daily and weekly schedule most of the time. I am able to work around my other jobs to meet your pets when you need. After a calm greeting, I can easily follow any routine needed, whether that is taking a walk, playing with toys, or simply checking in on them. I always want to make sure they are receiving the care they need.
“Ashley was amazing. You can tell she is a huge animal lover and an even amazing sitter. I can’t say enough good things about her. It definitely kept me at peace during my trip knowing that Duke was being so well taken care of. Thank you again! And will be definitely rebook on our other trips.”

About: Hi there! I’m a former flight attendant who is currently enjoying some time at home! I’ve been caring for animals on and off for the past ten years, and I genuinely love every moment of it. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or playtime in the yard, I treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home, so when I’m available, I would absolutely love to help take care of your pet! I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, keep their space clean and comfortable, and give them plenty of attention and love throughout the day.

About: With over 4 years of professional dog handling/training experience, I aim to keep your furry friend safe and happy! Before we get to my experience, I just want to mention that I am wheelchair bound, so I prefer to stick to walking smaller dogs unless they are well-mannered on a leash! The size of animal is not a concern if a walk is not a requirement! For drop ins, it would require a mostly accessible entrance into the home. I can do a single small step, but otherwise zero-entry would be the most ideal! I have worked alongside a dog trainer who also offers boarding services for the past 4 years, I have volunteered for many animal shelters, including Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando for 2 years, I have been training my own dogs for the past 14 years, including training my current service dog, and I have previously shadowed veterinarians in a clinic environment. I absolutely love both dogs and cats, and I can assure you that they will be in great hands! I truly can’t wait to get in touch with you and meet your fur baby!! I currently work a part-time job, but often get scheduled full-time hours. I usually work between the hours of 8 and 6:30, so I can do night checks on my work days. My guaranteed days off are Monday and Tuesday, and I could complete as many drop ins as needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy! I want to make sure that your baby stays comfortable, especially with a stranger coming into the home. I am very well versed on animal behaviour and body language, so I will never rush or force an interaction. I plan to follow the same schedule that you would as an owner, so that their schedule remains the same, even without a family member present. I will also make sure that the pet parents are staying updated with photos and messages throughout the day to maintain trust and communication!
“Janki did a great job doing daily visits to care for my two cats! She took lots of pictures and videos, so I knew they were getting the attention they needed. When there was some confusion about the medication she was giving them, she informed me right away to make sure everything was done correctly. She even swept the kitty litter on the floors so I did not return to a messy home! I was grateful and relieved that my fur babies were in good hands!”

“Livia was great! She was very willing to do a meet and greet since this was our first time with her. What we loved most is her communication throughout! We are definitely going to book Livia again for the next time we leave town.”

About: I have flexible work schedule and work from home, and I absolutely love pets! So I want to be able to provide your fur babies some company and exercise to relieve your busy schedule. As mentioned above, I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can work around your schedule. So we can make almost anything work. I live in a townhouse with no yard, but have a beautiful (gated) patio for your fur baby to bask in the sun and shade. My neighborhood is extremely safe and VERY pet friendly for walks.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and during my Army career I’ve also cared for pets for family and friends. Those experiences have made me dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I always pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication if needed, walking safety, and any behavior or personality differences. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while also giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
“Sarah Beth was so helpful and took fantastic care of our pups while we were away! She sent us frequent updates and worked with us to make sure our dogs were as comfortable as possible.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I recently entrusted our beloved bunny, Delux-Carrot, to Amanda’s care through Rover.com. And let me tell you, Amanda is not just a pet sitter; she’s a bunny whisperer! 🐾 Why Amanda Rocks: Bunny Bonding: Amanda went above and beyond by sitting with Delux-Carrot and having actual conversations with her. Yes, you read that right—she chatted with my rabbit! 🗣️ Not Just Business: While it wasn’t part of the service, Amanda genuinely cared about Delux-Carrot’s well-being. She made sure she felt loved and comfortable during our absence. Attention to Detail: Amanda noticed the little things—like Delux-Carrot’s favorite hiding spots and her affinity for cardboard boxes. She treated her like the Diva she is! Recommendation: I HIGHLY recommend Amanda to all pet parents out there. Whether you have a rabbit, a dog, or a parrot with a penchant for pirate jokes, Amanda’s got you covered. 🐾 Future Plans: Guess what? We’ve already booked Amanda for Delux-Carrot’s next vacation (yes, bunnies need vacations, too!). We can’t wait to see her bunny-whispering magic in action again. Thank you, Amanda, for being pawsitively amazing! 🙌”

Lake Nona Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous about leaving Mayer and Chewie, but Latisha completely blew us away! She is truly the sweetest girl and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. We received wonderful updates and could tell the boys were in the absolute best hands. Latisha treated Mayer and Chewie like her own, and we came home to two very happy, relaxed pets. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Latisha!

Ana was very communicative both before and during her visit. She asked great questions during her Meet and Greet that let me know she had taken the time to familiarize herself with our pets and review their care info. She made sure to treat them as her own pets, gave them extra love, and played with them. We look forward to using her services again soon!

Jenna was an absolute joy to have as my pet sitter for Emma. She is patient, a clear communicator and pays attention to detail. During our meet and greet, Jenna was patient and understood that cats take time to warm up to a new person. Luckily, Emma showed comfort with her presence and stayed out watching within a close distance. While I was away, Jenna was on time, communicated any changes, and even facilitated Facetime check-ins with Emma. During those checkins, I observed Emma showing elements of her personality that I only see. This behavior clearly indicated her high level of comfort with Jenna. Lastly, upon my return, Emma was happy and the house was in great order. Thank you Jenna for your patience, amazing care and going above and beyond. You are appreciated! 💜 Emma & Quin

I scheduled a drop in so that Jaclynne could meet Oscar in advance of an upcoming stay. She was very accommodating and came over the next afternoon. My quirky little dog warmed right up to her. I feel extremely comfortable leaving him and knowing that he will receive the best care from her while we are away.

Yuria is amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure Sushi was well taken care of & given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Yuria! She is so personable, reliable, caring, professional, & Sushi loved her! We appreciated the daily updates with pictures & videos. We are so glad we found her!

I booked Patricia for a drop-in visit with my dog Max, and she absolutely exceeded expectations. Right from the start, her calm, kind energy made Max feel at ease, no small feat with a dog who’s usually pretty shy around new people. She took the time to really connect with him, not just feed and walk him, but give him genuine attention and care. I could tell from the updates (and adorable photos!) that Max was completely relaxed and happy. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust to care for my dog like he’s her own. Patricia brings professionalism, warmth, and a real love for animals to everything she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, and if you’re looking for someone dependable and compassionate to look after your pet, look no further, you’ve found her.
