“Dayana saved me by accepting a very last minute booking. She was so understanding and really worked with me to make sure my two fur babies went outside to use the bathroom and got fed. 10/10 would definitely book with her again!!”


“Simply the best! Mayte goes above and beyond to make sure our fur baby is happy and taken care of. Always provides detailed updates, pictures at every drop in and videos of our pup having fun. Can't recommend her enough”


“I am so grateful. Elisa was so patient, kind, and considerate. My dog is 105 and wasn’t doing well with his family being gone. Elisa brought us some peace of mind with her patience and kindness for boo boo. She made sure he was comfortable, and helped relieve some of his stress. I will definitely rebook with her. Thank you again for everything you have done for boo boo.”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my patient, attentive care style. I’ve had and babysat several dogs over the years, so I understand the unique personalities and needs each pup can have. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who need a little extra love and gentle handling. I treat every dog like family—whether we’re going on a walk, having playtime, or just relaxing together. You can count on me for dependable, loving care and consistent communication while you're away. As a private contractor, I have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which makes pet care a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether it's a morning check-in, mid-day play session, or evening cuddle time, I can easily work around each pet’s needs and schedule. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable, personalized care without ever feeling rushed. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or overnight stay, I’m all about creating a calm, caring experience for your pet.

Treating every animal as if they were my own, I am attentive to their needs and behaviors, allowing me to quickly identify any unusual signs or issues. My genuine love for animals drives me to provide not just care, but a nurturing environment where pets feel secure and happy. Your peace of mind is my priority while your pets are in my care!

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, bathe, and feed their pets on numerous occasions. I am a college student attending Florida State University and am down for the holidays to spend time with family. I am available almost anytime. In my clients home my goal is to give them and their best friend a paw-sitive experience. Walks, fetch in the yard, food, lots and lots of pets and reassurance that he/she is a good boy/girl and of course treats (I promise not to give too many treats!).

“April did an amazing job watching our dog while we were gone for a week. She kept us updated and informed with any concerns she had! We would definitely recommend her to others and use her again. Thank you April !”


“Lee was great! He came over a few days before his visit to meet my dogs. Lee was very patient with Axel, who gets a little weird with strangers. Lee kept me updated after every visit and sent pictures too. I will most definitely book again with Lee. You can tell he is very comfortable around all animals.”


About: I have a very pet friendly home and although I own plenty of my own pets it’s perfectly organized mess (I mean routine) . There is always someone home between myself, my girlfriend or my adult children. My dogs are use to all my rescues and all the family dog sitting we always agree to. It’s community living at its best over here. I’m joining Rover simply because it only makes sense to make some side money from something we already do. I keep all my pets inside and I let them go out often to the backyard. The backyard has plenty of shade on the back porch deck, I have gravel area and grassy area too. We do have a pool so if your pet can’t swim that’s something I need to know. Your four legged family will be family to us too. I’m a realtor and the only thing I do daily in the morning is a workout. I work from home mostly and I care for my own pets. For the most part there is always someone home and this house revolves around our pets. I have a fenced yard at home and can accommodate both inside and out or a crate as well as I have plenty of space at home. Il

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I’ve always had a heart and passion for animals of every kind. I pride myself on being reliable, compassionate, and attentive, ensuring that every pet in my care feels loved and secure. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or simply offering companionship, I approach every task with the utmost responsibility and affection. Your furry friend will be in experienced, caring hands! I currently work full time. About 3 days a week I am out and return home around lunchtime where I work the remainder of the day. Some days I have to pick my children up from school which takes about 30 minutes. I usually bring my dog along for the ride, so if your fur baby like car rides I’m happy to bring along as well. I have a fenced yard and a furry baby to keep your pet company. I also have three daughters who are animal lovers as well and will offer lots of cuddles and play time as well. If you prefer to crate your dog I have plenty of space inside my home for that as well.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I have hands-on experience in managing all aspects of dog care, from feeding and exercising to ensuring their emotional well-being. I will send plenty of photos and keep you updated, so you can rest assured that your furry friend is having a wonderful time. I will do my best to ensure your fur baby feels at home while you are away! I offer full-time boarding, available on both weekdays and weekends, as I am a homemaker with flexible availability. I can walk them around the neighborhood if you are comfortable with it and/or play inside our house and fenced backyard. I can offer breaks whenever they need to or adjust my schedule to their daily routine. Every dog is treated like part of the family, whether it's through daily walks, exercise or simply a warm, loving environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. Our big fenced backyard offers plenty of space for your dog to run, play and enjoy fresh air in complete safety. Inside, we have a fenced staircase to prevent injuries while they play inside.

Maria A.
“Testimonial for Maria F. Acosta – The Best Pet Sitter Ever! I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria F. Acosta and the care she provided for my dog, Mickey. From the moment they met, it was clear that Maria has a natural gift with animals. She treated Mickey like he was her own—showering him with love, attention, and the same level of care I would give myself. While I was away, I had total peace of mind knowing Mickey was in Maria’s hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which truly made all the difference. Not only did she make sure Mickey was well-fed, walked, and played with—she made sure he felt loved. Even now, every time Mickey hears her name or sees her, his tail wags like crazy—he absolutely adores her and remembers her fondly. That kind of bond doesn’t just happen with anyone. Maria is a rare find—trustworthy, compassionate, and completely devoted to the animals she cares for. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Maria is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mickey. Thank you, Maria, for being the amazing person you are! — Maury”

“Fantastic Pet Sitter – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of hiring Melina to take care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we met, Melina showed a genuine love for animals and made my dog feel at ease. Throughout the stay, she was incredibly attentive, providing plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles. My dog loves being around children and other dogs, and Melina ensured she had the best time interacting with both, organizing playdates and keeping her active. Communication was excellent; Melina sent regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my furry friend was having a great time. When I returned home, my dog was happy and relaxed, showing no signs of stress. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs.
