About: I’ve always grown up with dogs but have been dog sitting for several years now. At home my family has two very high-energy dogs so I know what it takes to keep them occupied and exercised. We can have lots of play time if that’s what your dog enjoys or just hangout together around the house if that’s more their speed. You can guarantee on receiving updates and photos of your dog while away if all the fun things we are doing! We will do a long walk or run or playtime in the morning before it’s too hot out. Throughout the day we will have outside time and can do shorter walks or go on adventures together and in the evening another long walk or playtime! My schedule is super flexible. I follow your care instructions so the dog has the same rules and routines while you’re away. I want your dog to be comfortable and have fun while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
“Destiny was amazing with our dogs! We have 3 dogs which can be a handful at times but she took great care of them. Put my mind at ease day 1 of our trip. Highly recommend and will be booking again in future!”

“Sophia was so great with our Beau. She followed our instructions to a T, sent us updates on him a few times a day, and even let him convince her to take him on more walks than he usually gets 😂 it was so great to be on vacation and not have to worry that Beau was being taken care of with the same amount of love that we would. Beau loves her and so do we! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”

About: I have had 2 dogs in the household at all times since I was a baby and started dog sitting at 14. I have experience fostering dogs, boarding, training, walking and sitting. I have cared for dogs big and small, young and old and have loved them all. I am attentive to detail and give them the care they deserve. I am consistent with communication and will send updates/pictures throughout or as requested! I am currently working Wednesdays and have classes Tuesday-Friday. Friday is a very short day for me so besides one hour in the morning I am free. The best days for me are Saturday-Monday but my schedule is very flexible and I can work with you and what's best for your pups! I am a very active person so I take pups on long walks or runs (if they are up for it) multiple times a day. I am very attentive to their needs and they will always come first.
“Ruth was amazing! My poor baby had a seizure right before I left and she did an amazing job at keeping me updated on things. She goes above and beyond with things like taking notes if your dog needs meds or has special needs! Definitely recommend her!”

About: We will be taking many walks, trips to the beach, and dog park! Frequent potty breaks, fresh water throughout the day, healthy snacks, and lots of ❤️. I am a school teacher, so I'm off for the summer. I have late afternoons, evenings, and weekends availability year round. Flexible and will sit from your home or ours. Pets will have free run of the house. Will be leashed when walked in the yard, beach, and on walks. Will be allowed off leash at enclosed dog park with permission of owner.
“Just what I needed! I have two dogs, one of which is a senior requiring medications and more frequent attention in general. Tamara was great with both of my dogs and provided daily updates with photos. I have not needed or used an in house sitter before, but with my first meeting with Tamara, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely request her help again. Highly recommend!!”

“I could not have asked for better last-minute care for my stressed out pups, than Sayla. She was punctual, professional, adored my dogs and asked all the right questions, was super honest about everything going on. She went above and beyond —several visits beforehand and extra care once settled in—and you can tell she sincerely loves dogs and their welfare and making them comfortable is her top priority. I would recommend Sayla in a heartbeat!”

“Matt was an excellent sitter for our three dogs. He stayed at our home and was incredibly respectful, adaptive, and easy to work with throughout. He left the house spotless, and most importantly, our pups clearly enjoyed his company. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

“Mindy is the BEST!!! She went above and beyond; she cared for and loved my dog like her own, was great with communication, and accommodating. For the first time ever I came home to a happy, calm dog (not a frantic one) and a spotless clean home. Mindy truly made my vacation an actual vacation.”

“Jessica was very attentive with the dogs and detail oriented. She sent me updates of the pups and took great care of them. I would definitely hire her services in the future!”

“Great experience! The did what we agreed upon, when we came home our house was clean and tidy & was a relief that we came home to happy, well exercised & fed pups. We appreciate you!!!💕✨”

About: I’ve had a dog by my side since the day I was born. In fact, the only time in my entire life I haven't had a pup around was a single year during college, and that was one year too many. Dogs are a constant in my life, not just a hobby. I have a strong passion for working with disabled and special needs animals. Whether it's managing mobility issues, administering medication, or providing the extra patience required for physical or behavioral challenges, I’m fully committed to that level of care. I’m also very experienced with resource guarding and high energy breeds. I don’t just watch dogs; I work to understand their specific personality and needs so they feel safe and supported. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be truly present and attentive during the week. I am available Monday through Saturday for drop ins, dog walks, vet visits, conditioning sessions, dog transport, or love bombs. I am generally free to help out starting at 2:00 PM on weekdays and have much more open availability on Saturdays. I do not offer services on Sunday. I focus on high quality mobile care for your pups during the week. My priority is being entirely respectful of both your dog’s comfort and your home environment. I understand that every dog has a specific routine and safe space, and I make it a point to maintain that structure to keep stress levels low. You can count on me to be professional and meticulous with your property. I treat every home with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether we are out for a walk or hanging out inside, I focus on clear communication and safety so you have total peace of mind.
“Aramie was a perfect sitter for my clingy rambunctious girl! She took excellent care of her and the house, going above and beyond what I expected. I’m glad to have found my new dog sitter!”

“Benjamin is an amazing pet sitter for us. We have 3 dogs and a cat are around the house a lot. Our pets are very used to human companionship throughout the day and Benjamin was able to provide that. He took such good care of our animals, it seemed like we were barely missed. He is a true animal lover with a lot of experience. Thank you Benjamin!!!”

“Melissa is great! . She was very kind to my two cats , her professionalism is un matched. She was reliable , it was a last minute trip so I was so lucky she made sure she was free for us and she also send me pictures of my pets during the time she was with them . We will call her again for sure .”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and breeds. I have cared for many dogs and cats over 20 years. I would be honored to sit or care for your fur/fur-less babies! I am available Mon-Thurs without exceptions. Fri, Sat & Sun I can be available with my profession exceptions. Very flexible and open to your needs. I will come to your home to care for your pet in their comfort zone. No need to disturb their routine. Responsible, reliable and honored to care for your family member.
“Anne-Renee was a great communicator, and took great care of our injured boy while we had a night out. She kept us in the loop and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. I’d happily book her again.”

Over 2 pet parents in Melbourne Beach have booked house sitting
Melbourne Beach pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katie was great with Dunkin. I think he really loved the individual attention. I also think he really enjoyed his staycation. Katie kept us up to date every day and sent Dunkin pics. It is much easier to enjoy our mini vacations when I know Dunkin is well cared for. I would definitely use Katie again.

This is the first time we have used Jen for dog sitting and we were very pleased. She sent us photos of Dunkin throughout the week and he looked very relaxed. If she had any questions about Dunkin's care and/or the house, she reached out and texted me. Jen made this a very relaxing vacation.
