“Susana was amazing, she was always eager to spend time with our cats, sent lots of updates, and went above and beyond! Highly recommend booking with her 😊”
“Austin took care of Gingi and has been the best cat sitter I could ask for. Always sending me pictures, not only checking on him, but playing with him and making him company. Made me feel so much better knowing Gingi was looked after by Austin and will definitely book him again next time we are out of town.”
“Maks was amazing!! As a Rover sitter myself, I’m pretty choosy but Maks communication was top notch! I would highly recommend her! Your beloved pet will be in good hands!!”
“Leslie is beyond amazing—words can’t fully capture how exceptional she is! This was my first experience using Rover, and I’ll definitely be using it again. I reached out to Leslie at the last minute after my puppy, Penny, was unable to stay at a boarding facility due to a contagious parasite she contracted shortly after I got her. As a new pet parent, I was overwhelmed and worried because of a work event I had to attend the next day. When I found Leslie’s profile, I immediately sensed she’d be great, but she exceeded all expectations! She provided outstanding care for Penny, ensured she received her medication, and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos. I wish I could give Leslie 10 stars—she is truly a lifesaver!”
“Jennifer was wonderful and did a fantastic job doing drop ins to check on my dog Tsuki. She kept me informed and always took pictures/gave good updates. I would definitely reach out in the future if I need dog help again - thank you so much!!”
“Stephany was great! She was able to come take our dog out last minute. We appreciate the updates that were given!”
“Lindsey was amazing! She stopped by and watched my cats for half an hour while I was out of town. She made sure they were fed and played with them!! She even cleaned their litter boxes. She also sent the cutest photos of them to me so I knew they were happy and okay while I was gone!! Will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“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!”
“Katie provided excellent care of our dog. She was always On-time and provided updates everyday and sends amazing pictures. Highly recommended and will definitely request for her services again in the future. Thank you Katie”
“Very reliable! Took great care of my cats.”
About: I grew up caring for and rescuing all types of animals from reptiles, rabbits, livestock, and of course cats and dogs! I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, temperaments, ages, and special needs. I have been a foster parent in the past for both cats and dogs. I have also been a participant for the "Hound Around Town" at the local animal shelter to give shelter dogs a break from the kennel for a few hours and to meet potential families in real world settings. Outside of Rover, I am a registered nurse who specialized in emergent/critical care. I am comfortable in emergencies, both human and animal alike. I specialize in human resuscitation, but I have also been trained and am comfortable with performing CPR on dogs. I am available for drop-ins, daily walks, and boarding within my home. I am comfortable with short and long walks, cleaning of messes and litter box changes, medication administrations, feedings, bathing and will provide photo updates as you wish for each visit. I am open to providing services for more exotic friends: rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and fish. Please message me to discuss further. I am currently taking a break from nursing care for personal reasons. This has allowed me to open my schedule to full availability for caring for your pets. I will be home on all available days posted. Boardings: - Feedings will be performed in the morning, typically between 06:00 am -08:00 am and in the evenings between 16:00 - 18:00, unless otherwise specified. Medication administration will also be performed according to Rx/veterinary instruction. Daycare hours: drop off between 07:00 am - 09:00 am. Pickup between 16:00 - 18:00. If you need differing hours for pickup/drop off, please message me and we can work on a timeframe that suits your needs. **Late Pickup From Daycare/Boarding** - Picking up late from boarding: if you are more than 2 hours late from picking up during a boarding stay, I will add an additional fee equal to the amount for a daycare stay. If pickup then extends past the daycare hours, I will add an additional boarding day until your pet is picked up. - Picking up late from daycare: if picking up more than one hour late, without proper notice, will incur an additional $10/hr fee. I am aware sometimes circumstances change, and I am more than happy to work with you on caring for your pet as needed, but I do expect proper communication to avoid the additional fee. You can rest assured that your fur babies will be treated the way I treat mine: with plenty of love, respect for space and boundaries, and attention to detail. Walk lengths will be dependent on animal's energy that day, weather conditions, and safety overall. I always carry a fanny pack that holds poop bags, treats, a collapsible bowl with water, pepper spray (for emergent use only), and whatever else you may request on my visits. Drop-ins will also include ensuring adequate water is available, food is provided (as needed) and accidents will be cleaned (or litter boxes changed). I will also provide quiet time post exercise to encourage calmness before my exit. If need be, I am also comfortable providing baths in the event things get a little messy in all the fun. I am comfortable providing back yard exercise and walks around neighborhoods. I will not take any animal in my care to the dog park for their safety.
“Alycia was great with Gemma. Took her for a walk and made sure she did her business. Would recommend.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was old enough to go into peoples homes without my parents. I’ve also owned a shih tzu, and now have a husky and a golden (both rescues) so I love them all no matter how big or small! I currently work at Disney so my schedule does fluctuate a bit, but it’s always only 8 hour shifts. And my days off are fridays and Saturdays so I’ve got plenty of time to love them on the weekends! I believe every pup is different and I’m willing to do whatever they need! If they need some socialization, I’ve got two pups ready to play and I know quite a few local pups public and private dog parks. With two big dogs, long walks are a norm for me!
“Melissa was an incredible pet sitter for our cat while we were on vacation. From beginning to end, she communicated thoroughly and took great care of our fur baby. We highly recommend her, and we’ll be using her services in the future. Thank you!”
About: I’m the kid who always wanted a dog and that really hasn’t changed. We have 2 pups at home, a dog & child friendly husky named Sophie and my mixed ball of black fluff Ridley. Growing up we had a Shih Tzu, Boston Terrier, Beagle/Lab, and Westie/Scottie and I adored each one of them for their unique personalities much like I look forward to getting to know your pet for their unique personality. I’ve been a dog dad for the last 8 years after I volunteered at an animal shelter in Miami and fell in love with Ridley. About three years ago, I got married and in addition to an amazing wife I also became a dog-dad to Sophie who comes from Big Dog Rescue Ranch. We all look forward to meeting your doggy companion! Living in a townhome we frequent a community dog park a block away which is along the way of our daily walks. I’m also a quick skip away from Boxi Park dog park and can happily walk your dog at Lakefront park just south of Lake Nona should you like. I currently work full-time helping magic happen. My goal is to make use of my open weekends taking care of your pet while you’re spending some quality time away from home. I have a nearby community dog park for dogs who prefer to not be in a busy area or can quickly drive over to a more popular dog park. I also have a large (30-70lbs) crate should you request to have your dog crate trained. Our dogs go out 3+ times a day and on 2 walks minimum.
About: I have experiences with small dogs to X-large dogs of my own and I don’t shy from any breed! Also used to additional care needs! I work part time and take classes online so my schedule is pretty flexible to mend around your babies schedule! I’m usually able to move my personal schedule around for any time planned for pet care! Every pet is different at home my dogs are used to a schedule and their norm. They do require extra attention with allergies and medicinal needs so I take extra care and time with that. I take my skills from my dogs and reflect the same amount of care and attention to yours!
“I can't recommend Deanice enough. She is absolutely amazing with our fir children. Very responsive and caring. You will not be disappointed in having her take care of your babies!”
