About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, I will take them on nice walks, out for adventures to other areas outside of the house of any choosing and with give them baths. I’m a part-time worker so I’ll be able to spend more time with the cute and loving animals in between both cats and dogs. Both can be a pet that I”ll help out in need. I’ll take care of all cats and dogs like they are my own, I will always trust in my instincts on whether or not they want to go for a walk in the park or stay in and cuddle.
About: Since I am not working, I have plenty of availability and am happy to save you from going out in the heat and take your pups on as long of walks as they want. I’ll even take them to the beach to run around and play if you want or the dog park! I am currently in St. Augustine visiting my folks for a month, and I’ve lived here on-and-off for over 10 years so know the area well. I am a very active fitness and yoga instructor so love taking long dog walks, playing with pups, and appreciate the all the cuddles. My own dog is an anxious girl so I have plenty of experience with and compassion for that kind of dog. I grew up with dogs, and have cared for many others so would be thrilled to treat your dog with the same love and compassion as my own :) I am new to Rover since I opened the account in 2018, but life got in the way so I am only back on it now, hence the lack of reviews. I have done a lot of dog-sitting outside of Rover though so am happy to provide more references if needed! I am not working right now, so have plenty of time and availability to care for your dog! I am free anytime after 10am and am happy to do late night walks as well. I am happy to come over to your home to help care for your dog or let them out. I will also spend as much time as needed playing with your dog or cuddling. I have a dog who is tentative about going into her crate so, will be glad to use the same patience with yours if needed.
“Christine was awesome with our dog, Kenji. I booked her a bit last minute and she was so accommodating with stopping by for a meet and greet preset quickly. She came and walked her and played with our cat while Kenji ate her food. Highly recommend her.😊”
About: I have worked as an office coordinator in a veterinary clinic when I was younger and have always had a extreme LOVE for animals. We have always had pets in our family and would love to show some love to yours, while bringing you peace of mind. I am not currently working, so very flexible when it comes to schedules. I can do a last minute pop in, if need be. Happy to help out in what ever manner you might need. We live in a townhouse, so if your fur baby is here, I will have them on a leash at all times. I love walking, so if they need lots of excersize, that is what I would do with them. We do have a dog and a cat in our home.
About: As the daughter of veterinarian I've spent my entire life growing up with animals. I have also spent a few summers working at a kennel with many different dogs and cats. I work as a dietitian but am currently in between jobs and have a flexible schedule. I am available to take your pups for a walk or come watch your cats most days of the week. I am open to boarding cats in my home. I unfortunately cannot board any pups in my home but would be happy to house sit and watch your animals and get them out for a walk while you're away/ working.
About: I have 10 years of experience as a Vet Tech and am currently in Venice. Spending my early childhood years learning animal husbandry with my family’s many beloved rescued Rottweilers easily solidified my passion for exceptional pet care! As a trained veterinary technician, animals have always been part of my routine, between morning walks, feedings, medication schedules, or simply spending quality time. I find comfort and purpose in caring for animals, and I plan my days around their needs so they feel calm, loved, and secure. I respect each pet’s unique preferences and routine. I keep a calm, clean environment, offer consistent feeding, hydration, and medication when needed, and ensure they get plenty of affection and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep the pet’s world familiar and stress-free.
About: I have had animals of my own since I was 8 and have loved them all. Fur babies are so important and become part of the family. I have also been a volunteer with the Cincinnati animal shelter for the past 3 years so I am knowledgable with training and behavior issues. I have had dogs, cats, snakes and hamsters so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am a remote employee so I can make almost anything work! I do some outside of work activities & bartend 2 nights a week, but my schedule is very flexible. I do live in an apartment, but there is an outside area for dogs that they can play in. I am also close to parks if they have lots of energy! If there are cats I have some things here they can play with. I also am not opposed to some couch cuddles while I read!
About: Highly reliable I offer plenty of love and affection for your dog with undivided attention and personal care. I have always owned dogs and know first hand how to care for them. My open schedule allows me to keep your pets routine. I’m retired and looking to help take care of your dog. I do not have a dog of my own right now which makes boarding in my home flexible. Daily walks are also flexible in my schedule. I have a first floor condo with lanai in a pet friendly community. There is also a dog park in walking distance. I am also available to come to your home for daily walks and feeding/walking.

I am available for dog-walks and drop-ins. I am flexible and reliable. I always like to make sure I familiarize myself with your dogs surroundings and his/her home.

I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends.

Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Nokomis. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
