“I have just had by far my best experience with Rover. I had a last minute trip and Marianne went above and beyond in caring for my kitties. She is amazing. I had absolutely nothing to worry about while I was gone. She didnt cut any corners and gave very thorough updates throughout the time I was gone. When I came home the kitties were stress free too, I could really tell she spent time putting them at ease. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”


“Thank you again Aileen for taking care of my Harlow! 🤗”



“We just moved to Fort Lauderdale and thankfully found Lisa to watch over our two kitties while we’re away. Lisa is extremely attentive to not just our kitties needs but our needs as well. She is quick to respond to my messages, and always updates us with many photos of how they’re doing. She kept our place immaculate and even went as far as taking out our trash and doing some dishes! One of our kitties is extremely shy around new people, but he already took to her after just a couple visits. I highly recommend Lisa to take care of your furry babies, they will be in good hands!”


“Very communicative and took a lot of pics and sent updates!”


“Cheryl did a great job caring for our cats. She sent tons of pictures, and they were well cared for while we were out of town”


“Shannon was awesome Great communication -it was the first time we have left the dogs like this and I was a little nervous but starting with the first visit she put my mind at ease. Sending pictures and detailed everything the dogs were doing. The lasts day she even had to get creative since one of the dogs found a hole in the fence. She immediately let us know and did her best to block the escape route! Highly recommend Shannon!”


“Ted was incredible!! We were nervous about finding someone who could handle our 3 month old puppy’s energy level and constant need to supervise and Ted handled him better than we can! He even gave us some tips to help manage his crazy spurts and they work wonders. He provided constant updates and pictures and Mako absolutely loved him. We came home to a very happy, sleepy puppy.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including a German Shepherd, Husky, Pitbull, Cocker Spaniel, and a Beagle. My pet care journey began in Texas, and continued after I moved to Florida, where I’ve regularly sat for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s going on walks, providing enrichment, or simply giving belly rubs and love, I always make sure every dog feels safe and cared for. I’m comfortable with strong breeds, energetic pups, and senior pets alike. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6–11 AM and 3–10 PM. If you’re planning in advance, feel free to reach out about other days or times — I’ll do my best to accommodate! Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve cared for senior dogs who required medication multiple times a day, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, and going on long walks — I take my own German Shepherd on a 4-mile walk every day! Your dog will be treated like family, and their comfort and happiness will always come first.

“Laura was amazing with my kitty. It was her first experience with a sitter and she was A+!”


About: Besides having raised and cared for my own cats and dogs, I worked in a kennel for years. I walked, feed, cleaned and played with our animal guests. From bottle feedings to administering medications, there is not much that I have not experienced and enjoyed doing while engaged with my own and other people's pets. I dispense my own pet care routines in the morning, midday and evening hours daily. A client's pet care routine will be carried out according to their preference. Any reasonable special needs will be considered and can be discussed. I have two indoor adult cats in my large apartment. One is very active, curious and social and he needs playtime every day. The other one is less active, less social and aloof. Nonetheless, both kitties look forward to their brushing times every day. Once they are satisfied they go to their favorite areas to cat nap or sunbathe near the window and watch birds, squirrels and the busy waterway out back. When pet sitting in a client's home, they can expect that the same attention will be given to their pets, so please be sure to point out their favorite toys, brushes and lounging and hiding spots in the home.

About: I’ve raised my own pets since childhood. I’m experiencing with caring for 13+ dogs at a time.

About: I have over 12 years of experience and live right by the beach in Lauderdale by the Sea so your dog(s) would be in great hands with me - getting lots of play time at the beach. I am a reliable, organized, and patient dog walker/sitter who loves dogs and works great with all dog sizes and ages.

I will follow all of your house rules to ensure the best safety and comfort for you and your dog, and I will respect all of the house boundaries.

About: With 29 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets began in childhood with cats and has grown even deeper as a devoted dog (and cat) mom for the past 10 years. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, believing that every pet deserves kindness, patience, and genuine affection. My approach is rooted in compassion and extreme attention to detail-I notice the little things that make each animal unique and ensure their needs are always met. Whether it’s a playful kitten or a loyal pup, I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel truly cared for. Your furry family members will always be in gentle, attentive hands with me. I am currently available at your request Monday - Friday and most weekends. For any special accommodations / timing - I’m happy to make myself available! I am happy to come to your home and follow any detailed care/instructions needed for your fur babies to be happy and healthy! My philosophy is to care for your pet as you would so that you can relax and trust that they are happy in your absence :)

“Jenny was so amazing with Bella!! They instantly created a bond and I am so grateful for her sweet attentive care to my kitty! She was very punctual and took such great care of my place on every visit. I loved how much Jenny would have little conversations with Bella, because my car is a talker! Jenny went above and beyond to make sure that Bella had had adequate feeding time, play time, and gave her lots of delicious treats :) I got the cutest photos, videos and updates daily for the 2 weeks I was away. My mind was completely at ease knowing Jenny would be coming daily for Bella. I truly appreciate the animal lover that she is and I will definitely rebook her! I highly recommend Jennifer to take care of your pet while you’re away❤️”


About: I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.
