About: Taking care of fur babies has been a passion of mine since a very young age. I used to pretend to be the neighborhood dog trainer at the age of like 7! I’m no dog trainer, but I’m definitely able to love and care for your fur babies like they deserve. I work a full time job, however the hours are pretty flexible. I’m typically off Fridays and Saturday's, so I’m available anytime. Sunday-Thursday it varies but I’m typically available in the morning to 4pm :) I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very far much. I’m a great communicator and will keep in contact and provide pictures through out the experience. If your pet is happy, then I am too!
“This was our first, successful booking with Rover and Brad was awesome. He was on time and our dogs liked him from the start. We hope to have Brad again in the future. Highly recommend him!”
“Madeline was the best dog sitter we could ask for! She was thorough, attentive and so kind! She came to meet the dogs the day prior, gave us updates the entire time, and left our home spotless and a sweet note with some Polaroids of their weekend together. Madeline was with our pups over 4th of July and stayed home with them to make sure they were comfortable, I would 100% use her again!”
About: Hi everyone! I have grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life. In fact, at my childhood home, we had seven cats at one time- even though my dad is allergic! Since moving to Winter Haven, I have missed having a furry friend around and well, that’s why I am on Rover! I currently work full time but not a traditional 9-5 because I am a pilot- which means I am only not home when I am flying! If I am unable to fulfill a request because of my travel schedule, I will be sure to let you know I am unavailable. At my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but it is a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. My roommates currently have one dog and one cat but if your pet doesn’t get along with other animals, I can keep them separate. Just let me know!
“Kathy kept our 2 dogs for the day during our visit to LEGOLAND. She is a very nice person and her house is so warming. She is obviously an experienced dog keeper. Sent us pics during the day of the dogs which was very appreciated. We spent our day with no stress. Thank you !”
About: We are in a senior community that only allows up to medium dogs. We have had dogs for over 20 years but currently don't have a dog of our own and love to have dog guests. We would love to have sleepovers to get our fix of licks and wags! Your fur baby would have run of our house (furniture included) and will be walked multiple times a day. I work Monday through Friday, but my husband is home all day. Other than occasional trips to the store or out to eat, our fur guests are not left home alone. We only take one family at a time, up to two dogs. We would love to be grandparents to your fur children! My husband is home all day and loves having a dog companion to share his day. Walks around the neighborhood and watching TV are a typical day. All dogs in the community must be leashed and everyone is courteous. If your dog would is shy or anxious, we can walk in our backyard. If outgoing, we can visit the neighbors.
About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.

About: Hi! My name is Monica Martinez, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years. I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and Alabais, as well as mixed breeds. I currently share my home with two loving pups—Luna, a playful and energetic Husky, and Sol, a gentle Golden Retriever with a heart of gold. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, from the high-energy requirements of working dogs to the calm reassurance older dogs might need. Whether it's playtime, long walks, administering medications, or simply offering love and companionship, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each dog. Your fur baby will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment—just like family! I work from Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays off. I walk them every afternoon and spent time with them in the afternoon they are part of my daily routine. I will always ask for a cage because I have another 2 dogs at home. I play with them and also I have a big house for me and the dogs.
“Awesome experience. My kitty Waffles is a shy, scared kitty around new people and has taken him days to interact with new people. Brittany got Waffles to interacts with her within a day and even seemed to be playful with her. I highly recommend Brittany and i will be using her again when i have the need.”
“Evan was fantastic with our 4 high maintenance "children". This was our first time using her and we did just a short 2 night trial before doing our longer trip Later this month. She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures and left our house in great condition. We will definitely secure her for our future dates and many more!”
About: Besides having owned pets, I have worked with 2 shelters to foster long stay animals. I also enjoy watching McCann and Zak George dog training videos. My friends often ask me to care for their feline and canine babies while they are on vacation. I have experienced the peace of mind of leaving my pets with a great caregiver, and so I appreciate how important it is to provide you with this confidence. During the week, I am primarily available in the evenings between 5-8 pm. On weekends, early morning between 6-9 am, mid to late afternoons and evenings between 1-3 pm, and 7-8 pm are good times. First of all, I'll ask about your pet care rountine and preferences. This way I can stick to your pets typical routine as much as possible. Then I will feed and exercse according to your stipulations. Of course, I will engage your pet with play, belly rubs and ear stratches according to their liking.

About: I have had a boxer and a bullmastiff, but I have experience working with yellow labs, golden retrievers, as well smaller dogs. I also had a cat that I cared for and help take care of my roommates cat when I am away at school. In high school I took a course that taught me how to properly care for and handle chinchillas, rats, gerbils, ferrets, rabbits, and other small pets. I have watched my sister’s, cousin’s, and aunt’s dogs on several occasions and would be happy to work on different tricks and skills with puppies and kittens. My top priority will be making sure your pet is safe and entertained! I am a substitute teacher and am going to have a lot of extra time on my hands when school gets out at the end of May. I don’t have a pet myself and would love to help make pet care easier for people who need it! I love spending time with animals and will happily play fetch or tug of war for as long as your dog is would like, or any game your pet loves.

“I've known Cait for 6 or 7 years now, and nobody I know cares more for their pets. Everyone loves and cares for their pets, but she has always went above and beyond providing extra time, toys, and treats for all her furry friends.

Her communication skills are exceptional. She has always kept me updated with constant messages and photos, making me feel reassured about Momo's well-being and allowing me to enjoy my time away without worry.Her honesty and trustworthiness stand out. I've always been impressed with Melissa's integrity in every aspect of her life, and these qualities shine through in her pet sitting as well.
