“Anna is the kindest person I ever met. She truly loves animals. We’ve never left our dog in eight years with anybody and my husband was so comfortable leaving our dog Skye with Anna for the weekend. She sent us lovely pictures of her just relaxing and she looks so content being with Anna. I highly highly recommend her if you’re leaving your little fur baby she spent the whole four days at my house with her and she was wonderful.”

“Daniel is amazing with all our pets (2dogs - one very senior - and one cat). Everything was perfect. He provided videos and pictures and kept us informed us of all the animals comings and goings. Can't recommend enough!!!”

About: I have four years of professional experience working with dogs, including three years as a kennel handler and one year training service dogs. My experience includes daily kennel care and handling, canine behavior management, obedience training, and service-dog preparation. I am comfortable working with dogs of varying breeds, temperaments, and training needs. I currently have flexible, 24/7 availability while I work from home and complete additional certifications. This allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day, including overnight stays and extended care when needed. I'm happy to work with your dog's individual routine and schedule. If your dog stays in my home, they'll have plenty of space to enjoy on my 2-acre property, as well as company throughout their stay. I have roommates and another dog in the home, so your dog would have the opportunity to have companionship, provided they are comfortable around other people and dogs. For in-home care at your home, I'm happy to provide whatever care your dog needs. I can follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, training, and general companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

“Kaiya was awesome! My puppy loved her & she was so good to take the extra time to stay with him for the few hours as he's still not accustomed to being alone for that long.”

“Cara was wonderful from the first meet and greet and throughout her stay. She accommodated changes due to the passing of our one dog and comforting Luna during her transition to being a single dog. Luna had tummy issues and Cara stayed with her and gave her medication. I would absolutely use Cara again.”

“This is our 2nd time using Ana and she is just absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough great things about her. Our little guy loves her so much and she takes such great care of him while we are away. She sends lots of pics and updates and we are never worried being away when he’s in Ana’s care. She gives meds as needed, feeds accordingly, takes our senior pup out many times a day to potty as this is needed for a senior dog, defrosts and measures out his frozen fresh food and monitors his water intake. Senior dogs just need so much more attentive care. She is so sweet and flexible, we had a delayed flight and didn’t get home until 3am and Ana graciously stayed and was happy to accommodate us and stayed with our baby until we got home. She is quick to respond and just a really kind person. Leaving your baby in the care of someone else is always very scary so we are thankful beyond’s words to Ana. Thank you Ana from the bottom of our hearts!!”

“Ryker house sat for us when went back to the UK. He looked after our three dogs 2 beagles Benji & Cooper and our CaviPooChon BoBo. All three are very friendly but Cooper is super mischievous. Ryker caught our eye because he's volunteered at the Wolf Sanctuary & Humane Society, he also did an internship at a veterinary hospital. From our first meeting Ryker inspired confidence in us and his rapport with dogs was very evident. During his stay he took everything in his stride and wasn’t phased by anything. Cooper locked him out of the house. (Coops can open & shut doors), Benji became ill with an upset stomach, there were more hurdles but what ever the hurdle Ryker dealt with it in an assured and calm manner. He gave us updates each day, we hadn’t asked for daily updates but we were pleased that he sent them. We have used dog sitters before and by a massive margin Ryker has been the best yet!! We were blessed to have had him. Would I use him again 100% YES. Would I recommend Ryker 150% YES! His ambition is to become a Vet, and I, for one would not hesitate in using him when he qualifies.”

About: 🐾 August Availability! 🐾 I have lots of availability throughout August and am happy to accommodate weekday or weekend walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests! Starting August 31st: I will only be available on weekends, so if you’re looking for a regular weekend sitter or need help with a weekend trip, I’d love to meet you and your pup! Ideally, I prefer to meet you and your dog before the first walk or drop-in so we can go over everything and make sure everyone is comfortable. That said, I’m also happy to consider last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes, as well as senior dogs, including administering pills. I’ve been fortunate to care for and walk lots of wonderful dogs, as you can see on my profile! Please feel free to message me with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Use code RACHEL21574 for $40 off your first Rover booking with any sitter! I have a very flexible schedule throughout August and am happy to accommodate what works best for your family! Starting September 1st, my availability will be limited to weekends. I always try to maintain your dog’s typical routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away. When walking your dog, I generally avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people unless you specifically ask otherwise. For their safety and comfort, I also do not take dogs to dog parks unless you request it. If your dog prefers the backyard or you would rather they not go on walks, I am more than happy to let them enjoy some time outside in the yard instead!

“Jenn is wonderful and so great with our Roxi! Professional, kind, communicative and a lovely lady. We have already re-booked.”

“Leslie knows dogs, adjusting immediately to our skittish pup with all the blustery big barking, gently bringing him closer to give reassuring pats and cuddles. We appreciate her upbeat approach that speaks to our rescued lovey-dovey's needs, especially for flat-out running at the Dog Park. An excellent listener, Leslie asks the important questions about exercise and feeding habits that set our minds completely at ease. Thank you, Leslie!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs.From a young age, l've been passionate about providing love, attention, and proper care to furry friends. My daily work in veterinary medicine has further deepened my understanding of animal behavior. I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care and attention to your pet, whether it's administering medication or simply spending quality time together. My daily and weekly routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and compassion in pet care. As a pet sitter, l'll bring this same level of dedication and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away. I understand the importance of providing care to your pet while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I provide regular updates to clients via phone, email, or text, including photos and videos. I maintain open communication with clients to ensure their pets receive the best care possible.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a passion for providing them with the best care possible. I love all dog breeds and would be honored to provide my pet care skills to your precious pups! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available any day of the week for dog walking, daily check-in visits, or in-home dog sitting. I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I provide exceptional in-your-home care and will respect your home as if it is my own. This also allows your dog to remain in a location they are familiar and comfortable with and prevents them from becoming stressed or anxious while you’re away.

“Fabian was great, really spent time to get to know our pets before the stay. He was very professional, on time, and kept us up to date all the way through the boarding. Would recommend Fabian to everyone!”

“Bryce did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He gave helpful updates and was in constant contact. We would definitely use him again.”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.

“Danielle was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Bing and kept me updated throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy, well-loved pup. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet and house sitter.”

Paull

“Federica was great! She came down with a fever and took Erin to her house to better take care of her. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us during this time. Erin came home worn out and in good spirit from playing with Federica's dog. We would employ Federica again!”

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently a full time student at FGCU. However I only have closes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available any time when I don’t have class. I work part time at a babysitting company, however I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!”

“We have an almost 11 year old boxer who loves his family and his routine. Thanks to David we were actually able to take a vacation. David sent frequent updates and pictures of George and kept us informed how he was doing. When we got home George was calm and happy which is a big indicator for us that all went well. David came a few days before he was going to come stay to take George for a walk so George would be familiar with him, a really thoughtful and great idea. He stayed late on the last day to make sure that George had everything he needed since our flight wasn’t getting in till close to midnight David went above and beyond and we’re so excited that we found him. I would totally recommend him to anybody .”
