We are so glad we booked Marianne to watch our babies for 5 days. This was our first time ever leaving our babies home and couldn’t bear the thought of boarding them, so here we are. Marianne was punctual, kind, funny and did a wonderful job all around. She will be our first and best only choice in the future :)

Sandy was amazing! When I first contacted her, I needed a last minute sitter. I had never used a sitter or Rover before. She responded promptly and offered to do a meet & greet, working with my schedule before I left town. For each check-in, she provided detailed reports and pictures of each of our kitties. She went above and beyond when one of our cats had to be picked up from our nearby vet. I felt so much better on vacation knowing our kitties were in amazing hands. We will absolutely use her services again!

About: My passion for dogs goes far beyond simply walking them—it has been a significant part of both my personal and professional life for many years. As the owner of Dog Activity World, a successful dog daycare and boarding facility, I was responsible for the daily care, safety, and well-being of countless dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Operating a daycare and boarding business taught me how to understand canine behavior, manage group dynamics, recognize signs of stress or illness, and provide individualized care based on each dog's unique needs. Whether working with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs, or highly social dogs, I learned that every dog deserves patience, attention, and genuine affection. What sets me apart is the depth of my hands-on experience. I have cared for dogs not just for an hour at a time, but around the clock, ensuring they were safe, exercised, happy, and loved while their families were away. I understand the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. Today, I bring that same level of professionalism, reliability, and compassion to every walk and visit. My goal is not only to provide exercise but also to give each dog positive interaction, mental stimulation, and personalized attention while giving owners complete confidence that their beloved family member is in experienced and caring hands. I am available during the week and some weekends. I can handle all sorts of medicine and injections if needed. I am also Pet CPR certified. Your dog’s safety and care is what I value most. I try and look at the world through dog’s eyes and what they need and want most. You’ll receive photos and reports after every visit. I am Pet CPR certified.

About: I have over five years of personal experience with cats and dogs. In my homeland, my daughter and I raised a wonderful cat whom she named Lucia, in honor of Lucifer 😀 Later on, I cared for a dog and a kitten. Currently, I live with a friendly dog named Luna, and we have a spiritual connection. I'm always surrounded by paws, these cuties make me happy, and we spend wonderful time together happily, safely, and comfortably! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I live with a dog. My flexible schedule allows me to easily fit drop-in visits into my morning, afternoon, or evening routines. When visiting your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow all owner instructions, keep doors locked, and ensure your pet is happy, fed, and safe before I leave.

About: I have over 12 years of dog sitting and walking experience across three cities, I’ve built lasting relationships with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sleepy seniors. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand each pup’s unique needs, quirks, and routines. You’ll never wonder how your dog is doing because I send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you can relax knowing they are happy, safe, and having a great time. I’m also well-versed in puppy routines from the puppy pad to crate training support. For dog sitting, I can take a maximum of 2 dogs at a time. I find that this allows me to give your dog(s) a more nurturing and safe environment and they get my full attention. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening strolls, and everything in between. Whether you need someone last minute or want to set up a recurring routine, I’ll do my best to make it work. I will follow all of your rules to ensure the best safety and comfort for you and your dog, and I will respect all of your boundaries.

About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling

About: Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup — Now With More Time to Give! Hi there! I’ve been on Rover since 2023, and now that I’m semi-retired, I’m excited to dedicate even more of my time to caring for dogs. Spending my days with pups is one of my greatest joys — whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I share my home with my friendly dog, Kyle, who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be treated like family here! Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged baby. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m semi-retired, I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to each dog I care for. My day usually includes morning and evening walks, regular playtime, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and any special routines or instructions a pet may have. Because I already care for my own dog, Kyle, I’m used to maintaining a consistent, calm, and pet-friendly environment. Adding another pup into the routine feels seamless — I truly enjoy it, and I make sure each dog gets the care and engagement needed. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and rest. My dog, Kyle, is friendly and enjoys having company, so visiting pups always have a companion. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of affection, and make sure each dog has their own space if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, whether that involves walks, meals, medications, or special habits. I give them lots of attention, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. No matter the service, my goal is always the same: to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved. 🐾

About: I have been a kennel technician and an animal care specialist at animal control. I have numerous experience with cats and dogs. I have helped delivered puppies, took care of all animals for extended periods and have overnight dog sat for more than 2 weeks at a time. I am currently working but my hours are flexible and i am in nursing school full time so i am available as much as possible. I can fit your pet into my routine with no problem! I have a fenced yard and a dog at home. I will care for the animals in the clients home but not my own due to my dog not being so well with animals since he was abused very heavily before he came to me. Now he’s a spoiled baby!! I will follow a schedule with no problem and reassure my client with constant communication and understanding that their animal is being 100% loved and cared for.

Page was excellent! She was super communicative, handled everything like a pro, took AMAZING photos of my boy, and handled my OCD with the litter like we’ve known each other forever! I have literally not had a better experience with anyone on Rover. She stayed extra, loved Loki like her own, and was generally so so amazing. She helped my anxiety with leaving him for so long! Could not have been a better fit. Page is top notch and I will be booking with her for the foreseeable future, even some walks with Loki! Thank you again, Page!!!

I just returned from my trip and I’m hoping I am typing correctly here but I just wanted to say that Ashley was THE PERFECT sitter for my sweet boy cat. I was able to book her at the last minute and she not only came to my rescue but surpassed all my expectations for what one looks for in a cat sitter. She automatically sent me photos & a video, and asked all the right questions to help aid in taking care of Sachi. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service and I’m hoping to book her in the future. I loved her care & concern to details and to Sachi’s safety. Ashley was awesome.
