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

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.

“Susana was such a life saver, we were on vacation and needed help with one of our cats who needs daily medication. Despite being on a cruise she was so easy to communicate with and even coordinated with my friend who was house sitting for us. I would 10000% recommend Susana!”

“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: 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.

“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.”

“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’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a little girl, I have one cat name Apolo he is nine months and super sweet I also pet sit my family friends dogs in the mean time I also go to college to get my associate in Paralegal studies. I’m currently working a part-time job and only go to college on Monday and Tuesday in the morning so I have a lot of time available to work with your pets! I have a backyard super big although I don’t have a fence but I have enough space in my home to care for your pets!

“Joshua was excellent. Incredibly respectful and friendly with the cats and I would trust him again. Highly recommended!”

“Leslie is a thoughtful and caring pet sitter. Communicates really well! Takes plenty of pictures of our 4 legged babies when ever she takes care of them. We were leaving for a 4th of July getaway and couldn’t bring our pets unfortunately. Leslie immediately asked how our pets do with fireworks and wondered if we had anything to help them be calm during that stressful time for a pet. Even gave recommendations for over the counter products. Something we honestly didn’t even think about. We have Leslie book in a couple weeks during our 10 day vacation and have piece of mind that our pets will not only be fed but also loved while we are gone. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”

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!

About: What sets me apart is my natural ability to connect with animals and truly understand their needs. Growing up with dogs taught me how to read their behavior, build trust quickly, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. As a psychology major, I bring an added level of patience, awareness, and attentiveness to every pet I care for. I’m especially mindful of each animal’s unique personality, whether that means giving extra energy and structure to puppies or providing gentle, attentive care to senior pets who need a slower pace and more comfort. I have experience with basic puppy routines like reinforcing potty training, maintaining consistency, and encouraging positive behaviors. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with their specific needs, including slower walks, medication reminders, and extra affection. Above all, I treat every pet like my own—providing reliable, loving, and attentive care so you can feel confident they’re in the best hands. I work a as a driving school administrator and my schedule is the same every week. Mon-Fri I get off at 2pm which allows for me to provide my pet sitting services after without any restrictions. For the weekends, I am free all day Saturday after 12pm and all day Sunday :) I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service you choose, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they get plenty of supervised playtime, exercise, and rest, while maintaining any routines or instructions you provide. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs at all times to ensure they are comfortable and happy. At home I have a big backyard from which they can take advantage to have fun at a supervised area of their own !! I am also a big fan of updates for the parents can feel at ease :) No matter the setting, my goal is always to provide dependable, loving, and personalized care so your pet feels right at home.

“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: 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.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🙌”

About: I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life so I am used to constantly being around them. I have had my yellow lab for 7 years and my golden retriever for 3 years now. They both require separate types of attention and I’m always ready to provide whatever they need. No animal is too old or young for me! I am currently transitioning to a new job so I am free most of the day to provide your animal with whatever special care they require. I will be asking many questions about your dogs environment and routines. Your pet deserves to feel as comfortable and safe as they would with their parents home.
