About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who’s been around pets my entire life. I cared for my Labrador for 14 years, from the time I was 5 years old until he recently passed away. Through every stage of his life—from his energetic puppy years to caring for him as a senior—I learned how much patience, love, and trust mean when it comes to our pets. I’ve also pet sat for multiple neighbors with both dogs and cats, including large breeds, small breeds, puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, brushing, cleaning litter boxes, cleaning up accidents, administering oral and ear medications, and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered with WhiskerTown through PetSmart, where I helped care for adoptable cats and spent time socializing them while they waited to find their forever homes. One of my favorite parts of caring for animals is earning their trust. Every pet has their own personality, and I never want them to feel rushed or uncomfortable. I take my time, let them warm up at their own pace, and always want them to feel safe and loved. I truly believe animals are some of the purest companions we have, and it means so much to me when they begin to trust me. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I’d want for my own pets. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else, so I’ll always keep you updated with lots of photos, videos, and messages throughout every visit. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail or packages, and follow any special routines or instructions to help keep everything running smoothly while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of visits throughout the week. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I always make time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever routine they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I never force interactions and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to follow any care instructions you provide, whether that’s medications, feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, or other special routines. I also treat every home with the same respect I would my own and am happy to bring in mail, water plants, clean up accidents, and make sure everything is just as you left it. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

“Very punctual!”

“She arrived right on time, was friendly and professional, and took great care of our dog during his walk. We had a great experience and would happily book with her again!”

“Lindsey is so reliable! She has walked our babies about 5 times now. She arrives when she says she will, and walks them as much as she can in the time. They are happy and tired when she leaves. She is also great at communication and flexible when things come up. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have professional experience caring for many different animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also enjoy working with puppies and young dogs. My own dogs are trained and socialized. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has a unique routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, personalized care while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine while I complete my bachelor's degree online. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, drop-in visits, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. Because I study from home, I can be reliable, responsive, and accommodate a variety of scheduling needs throughout the week. Coming from a zoological and professional animal care background, I make every effort to ensure every interaction is safe, low stress, and positive for the animals in my care. I use positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behavior, while always respecting each pet's individual personality and comfort level. Whether I'm taking your dog on a walk or stopping by for a visit, I'll follow your care instructions closely, and prioritize your pet's well-being.

About: I’ve become very comfortable with giving stern yet loving commands and guidance to a variety of breeds to ensure safety, well-being, and fun times all around! I am currently a UCF Nursing student and live in Lake Nona during the semester and in Gainesville on holiday breaks. My availability depends on my class schedule - which changes each semester. I manage my time to ensure timely play time, bathroom breaks, and feeding times for your fur baby when needed. I love to snuggle and play with animals of all kind! I think it’s fun to observe their personality type and tailor my behavior to suit their needs and desires. I also enjoy taking pictures and videos of animals (I’m building an Instagram to house all the memories) and am very communicative with updates (typically at least once a day but I am happy to be flexible is you want more or less frequent updates). I do my best to adhere to the routine and schedule they are used to to make them feel as comfortable as possible

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I dedicate as much time as possible with my babies. We have so little time with them and we are all they have. I will always spoil and love my pets with everything I have. I work full time at a theme park but have organized my schedule to optimize my time home. I can also adapt and change schedule throughout the seasons. I have protected my home to keep dogs downstairs so there is a separation between the levels of the house. Their toys and spaces are sanitized especially when brining a new puppy home in summer 2025. I keep up with house care to combat the fur and love a cuddle puddle on our massive couch. All food is inaccessible and have options to let them play in areas around the house inside and out.

“Communication with Amanda was so easy and flawless, she is very accommodating, listens to your needs and puts your dogs well being first. Nico had fun with her! We definitely recommend her and we will keep using her services”

“Liliana was a lifesaver and my dog’s new best friend! I could tell from the moment I met her she has a place in her heart for animals. She is very responsible and trustworthy, and would respond quickly both while on the walk and before or after. We hope she’ll come back to see our Ragnar again!”

Charlotte N.

“It’s my second experience with Rover and by far the best one! Melissa was great! My gradma(who doesn’t speak English) was home let me know she was very nice, friend and Piper was very happy with her! Thank you so much!!”

“I have a one year-old pitbull named Lucky. An I broke my arm, so I cannot take him for walks. Shendel has stepped in and done an amazing job. Lucky absolutely loves her and always’s welcomes her with a smile. She does 4 walks a week and is always early. I can not say enough good things about her.”

About: I’ve grown up around large and rowdy dogs such as boxers and pit mixes. I have experience watching 6 dogs at once and cleaning more accidents than I can count. Even with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages and needs I can assure you I will be nothing less than thorough. My skills include crate/potty training, basic commands, restraint during walks, and recall. I love puppies and senior dogs so extra attention or specified care is never a deterrent. When it comes to pets i’m never afraid of challenge and celebrate the things that make them special! Currently unemployed and attending morning classes only. If you are located far from me, I am more than happy to stay at your home with them and ensure they are well taken cared of. I will be updating my calendar as summer comes and vacations are planned. As I live with my family and a cat, boarding at my home is sadly not an option. I am more than happy to drive to your home at anytime.

About: We love the furry companions! We have the time, the patience and the resources to get them a memorable experience while the pet parents are away. Boarding for small and medium dogs is my specialty but I am surely ready to service them sitting or walking. I certainly learn from these amazing friends everyday! ---- Amo a estos acompañantes peludos! Tengo el tiempo, la paciencia y los recursos para darles una experiencia memorable, mientras sus dueños estan fuera. Boarding para perros pequeños y medianos es mi especialidad, pero estoy lista para hacer Sitting y también sacarlos a caminar (Walking). Ciertamente, aprendo de estos sorprendes amigos todos los dias! I'm working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with the pups! I have availability for boarding, sitting or walking your dogs with dedication. I am also very good at reporting with good pics! At home they will be safe, clean and active. There are pretty good trails inside my condo to walk them safe and in contact with nature. I am also trained in First Aid & Pet CPR

About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. Since 2010, my Pomeranian Bella has been by my side, and we’ve truly grown up together. She turns 16 this October, so I have extensive experience caring for a senior dog and understanding their changing needs. I also have a 2.6-year-old cat, Coco, who has had three litters, giving me hands-on experience caring for mother cats and raising young kittens. I grew up with cats as well, so I’m very comfortable understanding feline behavior, personalities, and needs. I’m especially confident with cats and small to medium-sized dogs. I genuinely love walking, and taking dogs for walks makes me happy because I get to keep them active, engaged, and happy while enjoying the outdoors myself. I’ll treat your pet with patience, love, and the same care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can accommodate feeding, playtime, check-ins, and other care based on your pet’s normal routine Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, routines, and special requests. I keep their environment clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and always respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and patience I give my own.

About: I have been lucky to have pets my whole life. Growing up I helped take care of my 3 dogs and cat. Each animal in my life have contributed to my ability and understanding of what it takes to care for every animal. I work part-time with special needs children and in my Master’s program, making my schedule somewhat flexible. Between studying, I am able to help provide quality care to your fur baby. I will comply with any/all rules implemented from all owners for their fur babies, including feeding routine, walk times and specific desires to make all animals feel comfortable and structured.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even turtles since I was 10 years old! I love anything that has to do with animals and I value their needs greatly. Love providing snuggles all the time but also aware some animals require their alone time. i’m currently in nursing school so I’m not available on Tuesdays as I work at the hospital. Other than that, I just have class for some of the day, but I will be able to accommodate the animals needs! I always ensure that the environment the animal is in is clean so that no hazards can be presented. I also at my home have a big fenced in backyard for them to run around freely and if it's a cat being taken care of there are plenty of climbing spaces :)
