About: Hi there! I'm a passionate dog lover and devoted pet care-taker with a special place in my heart for high-energy breeds! As a proud owner of a 6 yr old Cattle Dog mix, I understand the joy, (and challenge) of keeping these active pups mentally stimulated, and properly exercised! I bring that same level of patience, care, and enthusiasm with every dog I walk. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities- I'm attentive to their needs, tuned into their body language, and commited to making each walk a positive, fun, and nurturing experience. Whether your pup enjoys long adventures or gentle strolls, i'm here to give them the care and attention they deserve. I have experience with positive reinforcement training, along with basic commands. I have an open schedule as of now! Morning, afternoon, or evening. I can help whenever is needed:) I am in between careers at the moment and have dedicated my time to starting my own business. My dog is my number 1 in my life, so giving her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation is my daily goal. This typically looks like 3 walks a day, car rides, frisbee or fetch, and/ or a nature walk. We also will run together, which she loves. To me, a dog is family. I will care for your pet as if they are my own. They deserve the unconditional love and compassion that they show us.

About: Whether you reside in Central Florida year-round or are here for the weekend, I'd love to hang with any pets looking for a comfortable, fun, and safe environment while their owners are away. We have two Australian Labradoodles in our home who make great play buddies. In the event you need to leave town for a few days, are seeking a quiet dinner alone or time to play tourist, or simply need extra assistance during a busy season, I am happy to provide a loving and safe environment, ensuring your pet feels taken care of while away from you. Having two dogs myself, I understand the worry of leaving your furry buddy behind, and I can assure you they would be in great hands. I am a well-educated individual who keeps a clean and smoke-free home. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. As a stay-at-home mom, I am around all day during the week and weekends. Working your pet's schedule or needs into our schedule is simple. We have two young children in our home so it’s important your pet is friendly with little ones too! I have two dogs (labradoodles) who will be your pet's companion if he or she is coming to stay with us at our home. We have a fenced backyard, in addition to a community dog park, and plenty of space for walks and exercise. Whether your dog prefers the couch, human bed, or floor, we are happy to accommodate all requests.

“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”

About: I’m interested in this position because pets have a soft spot in my heart. I grew up with two dogs and four cats. We sometimes let in strays as well. I was the one responsible for feeding my pets and cleaning up the litter box. My own canine family started when I was 18. I have experience with dogs with diabetes, orthopedic reconstruction and chronic systemic arthritis. I am confident that I can care for and love on your pet while you’re away so you have few concerns about your loved one. I have a very flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom of teenagers. I have the ability to care for your pet based on your schedule and needs. I offer care in the client’s home. I will follow the instructions the client tells me. My own dog has such a schedule and routine of when to go out vs eating so I completely understand the need for routine. I will always make sure safety comes first. If there isn’t a fence then I would prefer to have the pet on a leash. I would never want a pet getting loose and running off.

“Haleigh was a great dog sitter, very knowledgable. She determined Lissy was not feeling that great with her and we agreed to cancel two out of the three days we contracted for. Haleigh took care of it with Rover. Aapreciated her honesty and professionalism. Recommend her to anyone needing help with their pets…”

“Rachelle was so responsive and made me feel so comfortable! It is my first time ever using Rover & I’m glad that she was available. Definitely will be using her services again! Highly recommend!”

“Kylee took excellent care of our dog Lady and cat Scamp. She sent us pics of Lady doing her happy dance post walk and let us know each time she was arriving and departing. I would book Kylee's services again in a heartbeat.”

About: I've always been surrounded by dogs (especially German Shepherds)! Between walking neighbors' dogs, pet sitting, and having my own, I have built experience in taking care of them. I have also worked at a Dog Daycare where I supervised groups of over 50 dogs. My dad was a K9 handler, so I grew up knowing how to train and care for dogs. I am also an undergrad student on the Pre-Veterinary track with lots of volunteer hours toward clinic work! I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to take your pets on long and fun walks! My schedule varies but will be quick to respond back regarding questions about dates and times. With walks around the neighborhood, your pets will be treated just like my own! Please let me know if there are any special requests or occomodations needed for your dog :)

About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 2 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior and am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a dog training/boarding facility so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds :) I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at John K9. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If you’re animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Four people live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, as well as growing up with my own bunch. I frequently take care of dogs when needed! I am able to stay overnight and take care of pets as well as frequently stopping in throughout my day to day and checking in on them! I make sure to keep track of the pets and make them feel as comfortable as possible while missing their owners! I make sure to play and cuddle as much as I can.

“Very helpful, took wonderful care of my pups!”

About: Hello! My name is Mikayla. I’ve been pet sitting for Rover for several years now. I have had lots of experience owning my own animals since I was a child. Growing up on a farm gave me the opportunity to care for horses, cows, dogs, cats, rabbits, and many other animals! I am a teacher, so I will be teaching during the school day. I am available to be at your house before and after school, as well as overnight! I’m not currently taking pets into my own home. When I come to your home, I maintain your schedule and training routines that your pet is accustomed to.

Everything from puppies to senior dogs, police k-9's, reactive dogs, cats, strays, lost animals for the night, turtles, hamsters, hedgehogs, and everything in between! I don't discriminate when it comes to my love for animals. I recently moved to Lakeland to pursue my master's in social work, and my childhood / school years dog (Kodak) lives with my dad in Wisconsin.

Other than that, I have a roommate who desperately misses her pets back home in NC and also wants to share the love !

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets.

I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
