“Alley is by far the best Rover walker I have had. She is attentive, detailed and truly cares for my dog Oliver. She is very dependable and I trust her with the care of my pup. I highly recommend her services!”


“Jessica has been absolutely amazing with our pup! As soon as my husband and I met her, we felt extremely comfortable knowing Miller would be in great hands! The updates are amazing as well, miller always looks worn out and happy! So happy we found you! 🤍”



“Jenny has been an absolute lifesaver. She's incredibly flexible, responds quickly, and has been wonderful with Lola! We get pictures with each visit, and she goes above and beyond to acknowledge and meet Lola's age limitations with the brutal FL heat. I would recommend her with zero hesitation!”


About: I’ve always been around animals. I grew up on a rescue farm so I’m very familiar with animals needing medical attention and lots of love! I have 2 big dogs and 4 cats whom I love very much. I’m great with puppy’s who are going through potty training, and cleaning up their messes. I’m also good with senior dogs and cats who need medication, messages, and calm environments. I’m almost positive I could take care of a wild animal if need be! I have plenty of time to take care of any animal you need! I can do drop by’s or I can spend the night to give you peace of mind, and your animal extra love! My dogs are kennel trained, but my boyfriend is ussually home with them while I’m not, they are always going on trips with us and love their walks. I know it’s stressful to leave your animals with someone you don’t know well, but I can assure you they would be in great care with me! I can go on lots of walks with them, play with them, and give them any medical attention they may need!

About: Hello, I am still pretty young and have all the energy your pet may need! I absolutely love dogs of all kind and looking forward to helping your fur baby's! I love being active and outside so I'm not bothered by taking them for some exercise. Have the strength to hold heavier dogs as long as they're not giant! I have grown up with dogs my whole life so I am very familiar with the ways of animals and how love and affection is the most important thing they need! I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have through text/email. I work every couple days at night so I am free most days unless noted under availability of otherwise situation that will succumb my day. I have experience getting more difficult dogs onto leashes and try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I have also worked with abused animals before and know how big trust can be for them so I can be as patient as your pup needs.

About: Hi there! My name is Aubrey and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a heart full of affection and a soft spot for wagging tails. Whether it’s energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I treat every dog like family—with kindness, love, and patience! I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime in the yard, medication, or anything I’m here to help. As a devoted dog mom to my own playful pup, pet care is already a big (and joyful!) part of my daily routine. I currently work three days a week at a hospital, which gives me plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for my dog and for other dogs of course. On my days off, my schedule is wide open for walks, playtime, drop-in visits. I know how important consistency and attention are for dogs, so I make sure every dog I watch gets lots of love, activity, and personalized care. Because I’m already in “dog mode” every day—feeding, walking, playing, training—I’m well-prepared and excited to include your dog in that loving routine. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and I always stick as closely as possible to what your pet is used to. There’s plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the time is spent with them—especially since I only work 3 days a week and am home most of the time. I’d be more than happy to do a daily visit for your dog!

“Alyssa did a great job caring for our pets while we were out of town. It usually takes a bit before my dog is as friendly with anyone as she was with Alyssa almost immediately so that helped us feel secure with us. This is the first time I’ve ever had a pet sitter of any kind other than family so I was nervous to trust anyone with a key to my place (not trying to get robbed, ya know) but Alyssa was great and respectful of our home. Thank you again!!”

Matlacha dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan went above and beyond today with our Boo and Olive. She came over in the morning and spent abundant time with them and then again in the afternoon. It was just what we needed--not having to worry about them while we were dealing with an all-day appointment. We could tell from the photos that they were relaxed and enjoyed Megan's company. (She may have lavished more attention on them than we do!) When we arrived home, they showed none of the signs of stress or anxiety they usually display when left alone for just a couple of hours. Communication was excellent and, fortunately, Megan was flexible and adjusted the times because of a change of plan. Finally, it's important to note that Megan did come over ahead for a short 'meet and greet' session. She took notes, listened carefully and asked pertinent questions. I knew then that she would be well-prepared and kind to our beloved pets.
