About: I raised 3 daughters and they turned out OK! Your pets will be fine! I’m a retired snowbird living part of the year in Bradenton! Retired school counselor actually, so no pet can be as challenging as my students! As for pet experience, I’ve had 2 golden retrievers and bred them to for a total of 25 puppies. Add to that lots of cats, 3 horses and a goldfish or two, but now have an empty nest! Let me get my fix on your fur baby and know you’ll have piece of mind knowing they will be loved and cared for! I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs so I am ready to meet you and your fur baby! Ready-set-go! Woof! I work very part time so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am willing to travel to your location to provide care for your pet. I prefer to take care of your pets in your home or neighborhood. My winter home is currently in an RV park that restricts animals.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.

So fortunate to have found Erica! She is clearly a dog lover and we knew our Lila was in good hands the minute we met her. If the need arises we'll reach Erica's way without hesitation.

Thank you, Chris! Chris was professional, on time, friendly and even took the chuck-it out for my babies as requested! My dogs were definitely tired when they came back from their play/walk and we will definitely be calling him again!

About: I have experience working with elderly and sick dogs so I am used to administering medicine. I had two dogs before I moved out of my parents a teacup chihuahua and a mutt named buddy. Felipe is 13 and buddy is 6. I have experience working at a dog shelter in San Diego California when I was 13-14. I am open to all breeds and all sizes. Both of my dogs were from the spca so I’m used to untrained pups. I will treat your dog like they are my own. Trips to the dog park regularly if boarding and regular walks and attention. I am a piercer at a tattoo shop and my partner is a tattoo artist, we have revolving schedules. Usually the pup would only be left alone 1-2 hours at a time, when i go to work and he comes home right after i leave. We are both animal lovers so being on rover is a nice way from preventing us from getting our own dog. I do stay in apartment but we make sure to go on regular walks around the neighborhood. There is a small fenced in area i like to take them too as well.

Alexa is an awesome walker. She’s willing to come at a moment’s notice, and is always happy to drop by for a walk. She likes to play with my pup a bit afterwards too, to fully wear her out while I’m at work. She is my trusted go-to walker.

I really can’t say enough great things about Adela. My puppy Olive is my whole entire heart and I was initially very nervous to trust someone with her in any capacity. However, from my first interaction with Adela, I was immediately put at ease. She is incredibly kind, professional, reliable and not to mention Olive adores her. Can not recommend her more!

About: If you have a puppy or a dog that needs a little extra help getting down the basics of sit, wait, leave it, come, or has trouble walking on the leash; i am your doggy savior! I do all my walks using the lose leash method, meaning the dog is more in "heel" then pulling or trailing behind. I love walking on hiking paths and trails as well as city and community walks. I always bring treats, water, and poop bags on my walks! I have an Australian labradoodle, Kingsley who is my service dog and loves other dogs! If you're interested in socializing your pup can have a playdate, he is a great friend. I can fully handle dogs of all sizes and ages and will follow all instructions left by you. I am trustworthy, reliable, and time and have a car, so I will be able to get to you, no problem. I work from home and love animals! Happy to play, train, and walk dogs. I have been pet sitting for 11 years and am very honest and loyal. I care for pets in clients home, walk, playtime, and offer puppy training. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with animal and supporting families. Please reach out if this seems to be a good fit :)

About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!

About: Hi! I’m 22 years old, happily married, and a devoted dog lover living in Lakewood Ranch. My two pups, Apollo and Zora, are my best friends, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, updates, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of my daily life! As a work-from-home professional, I’m able to be around pets throughout the day and easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and lots of attention into my routine. I have two dogs of my own, Apollo and Zora, so caring for pets is already second nature to me. Whether it’s sticking to a specific schedule or providing extra cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾💕 I care for pets by focusing on consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Bernadette. I am a 23 year old college student. Growing up, (even though my parents didn't appreciate it) I was the girl who would always bring home strays. I would either some how persuade my parents to keep the dog I found or would help place the dog into a nice loving home. Ever since I could remember, my family would have several dogs at a time... So now caring for them is second nature. When I first started attending college I would always find myself puppysitting/dogsitting for several of my friends whenever they went out of town for few days. Then, when I heard about this app, I thought what better way to utilize and expand on my care for animals! To me dogs aren't just pets, they are family. I am a fellow dog lover and would love to take care of your fur babies. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to inquire further. Thank you and I look forward to taking care of your best friend!

About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.

About: Hi! My name is Camryn and I'm 24 years old. I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and creating a peaceful home environment. I recently graduated and am coming back for summer break after playing professional volleyball in Europe. I’m disciplined, reliable, and used to maintaining routines — which I know is especially important when it comes to pets feeling safe and comfortable. I'm also very respectful of other people's homes. I keep spaces clean, organized, and well cared for, and I approach house sitting with the mindset that I'm looking after something important to someone else, because I know how much trust that takes. l'd love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and make sure everything runs smoothly while you're gone. I love house and pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My schedule is super flexible and I also enjoy having a routine and spending time in new places in a more local, relaxed way, it's a great fit for my personality. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions (like medication or special diets).
