About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.

About: I grew up in Michigan always being around animals of all kinds. I was a part of 4-H for 12 years and have owned and taken care of horses since I was practically 5 years old competing in various equine competitions. My family always had indoor-outdoor cats that I loved dearly and my grandma owned a farm that I helped run. I have dog sat for several neighbors throughout my life since I was never fortunate enough to have one of my own. Luckily now I am an aunt to my brother's dog Odin who I have cared for. Today I reside in Florida with my furry friend Kaiah who is a beautiful long-haired cat that is very outgoing and spoiled. She loves car rides and goes everywhere with me. She even has a special bowl for her favorite treats. The reason why I made a rover is because I know what it is like to worry about the care of my pets while I am away! It breaks my heart that I could not bring my horse with me to Florida however I know my mom loves him and that he is getting the attention he needs. I want to be a motherly figure in your pet's life and provide comfort and quality time while also making sure they have been cleaned up after. Dogs, Cats, and Horses are my specialty. I enjoy fitness and spending time outdoors so if you are looking for someone to stop by and walk your dog, or play with your cat or exercise, brush and feed your horse please do not hesitate to contact me. I currently have a relaxed full time job where I can work from the comfort of my home, in my office, or anywhere with WIFI. I travel occasionally for work but am flexible if booked in advance. I think cleanliness is important! no one wants to come home to a stinky litter box and or a pile of poop. I think its important to make sure that dogs are being walked until they have went to the bathroom and that litter boxes are being cleaned out daily. Secondly, I think its important to make sure water is fresh and food is provided on a schedule or in my case the cat food bowl is always full (I let my cat eat whenever she is hungry and she is very healthy). Lastly and most importantly no matter what animal it is they need play time and attention weather it be a walk or a playing fetch at the park or playing with your cats favorite wand toy. Cleanliness Nutrition and Love !

About: Hey there! I am a Rover veteran, who took a break for a couple years to start my career and human family, but I am back and so happy to be! I am a proud dog momma of a 2 Australian Shepherds. I have had cat and dogs in my life for over 20 years. My pups are always pampered and treated like family. My perfect day is spent outside walking with my pups and ending the day with couch snuggles. We are a very active household. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes. From 5-130 pounds. I also have personal experience in taking care of multiple dogs — I used to be an owner of 3 dogs on my own! I can assure you, you’re sweet pup or kitty will be treated like the prince or princess they are and get lots of love and walks! I am currently a stay at home mom to one baby girl, so I have plenty of time to provide Rover services to meet you and your fur baby’s needs. Additionally, much of my day revolves around giving my own pups all the activity and love they deserve and will be sure to give that to yours as well! Before booking a service with me, I am always happy to meet in person first and make sure I am a good match for your fur baby. If I am providing services in your home, my goal is to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible and give them as much love and attention as they deserve while their parent is away. I will happily follow your typical routine you have set for them while you are away!
“Jose and Alexis are AMAZING. If I could give 10 stars I would. This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit, I was very hesitant to let strangers into my house and more importantly let them be alone with my dog who is a very shy and timid rescue. I expected the worst. Boy oh boy was I wrong. Jose and Alexis were BEYOND accommodating. The first day they came over to start a walk, my dog was terrified and wouldn't approach or leave with them. Jose and Alexis were so communicative about the situation and sat at home for 90+ minutes doing everything they could to get Layla comfortable with them. It worked, above and beyond. The next 2 days, they came by and everything went very smoothly. Lots of pics, videos and communication, before, during and after their walks/runs. It's hard to articulate how great this experience was and we will be enlisting Jose and Alexis' services moving forward for any and all things pet care related. I trust them completely and give them my highest recommendation.”

“Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.
About: With a year of professional experience at a doggy daycare and a lifetime of caring for senior dogs, I bring both skill and heart to every pup I meet. Whether it's administering special care or just making sure your dog feels safe and loved, I treat every furry guest like family. Pet care is part of my daily rhythm, When i’m watching a dog, I start my day with a walk or playtime to keep pups active and happy. Throughout the day, I’m attentive to their needs, whether it’s feeding, medication, or just cuddles. Caring for dogs is more than a job; it’s a rewarding routine that brings joy and purpose every day! In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and loved. I follow each dog’s routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, ensuring they get plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. Whether at my place or theirs, I prioritize safety, comfort, and plenty of affection to make every pet feel at home
About: I've taken care of dogs for the last eight years, including puppies and energetic dogs. I've got lots of toys, treats, and time to give your best friend :) and honestly I love dogs so much I would do this just for the joy of seeing dogs. I'm free all day every day! I just graduated, so my summer break is devoted completely to taking care of your pup. I'm flexible with super early or very late pick ups or drop offs, and I don't mind doing walks or drop ins at any hour! I usually play a lot with the pup, or take it on a walk. I love a good cuddle session, or even just hanging out together on the couch. Personally I feed my dog every morning and evening, and provide plenty of time in our fenced-in backyard to explore and run.
“Daelia took such good care of my baby! She was communicative, followed instructions, and sent photos. She even took care of her in the days following her spay surgery. Thank you again!”

About: I'd be happy to help take care of your pet. I have lots of experience with many different types of animals. Request a service, and I'll see if I'm available. I can board your dog while you're at work, out of town, or if you just need a break from your dog for awhile. I'm available to walk dogs Tuesday-Thursday, most of the day, from 11am-sunset. I can usually board or house-sit dogs all week, just let me know when it would be. For now, I work from home, so I can take the dog out all throughout the day. I can board small or large dogs in my home. I can take boarded dogs walking and jogging. I have several very large dog crates for dogs.

“Alexis is the best! Hank looked forward to her visit/walk every morning and wagged with his full body when she arrived. She is reliable, a great communicator, and an obvious dog lover! Hank was happy and tired after his walk every time. She also sends the cutest pics. 😻”


About: Thoughtful, personalized pet care for owners who want more than just a sitter. I provide a calm, attentive experience—with the option of gentle, structured socialization for pets who thrive with companionship. Grounded in more than two decades of animal care experience. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter—someone who will truly engage, enrich, and nurture your pet while you’re away—I'm here for you and your furry friend! I offer a unique pet sitting experience that goes beyond basic care. When appropriate and beneficial, I bring along my own well-trained, friendly dogs to provide safe, structured socialization and companionship for your pet. This can be especially supportive for dogs who enjoy play, benefit from social interaction, or simply feel more at ease with a calm, pack-like presence. I’m very intentional about energy, boundaries, and compatibility. My dogs are mature, well-socialized, and attuned—and I carefully assess each situation to ensure it’s a positive, stress-free experience for everyone. If your pet prefers solo care, I always honor that fully. What you can expect: • Thoughtful, attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality • Enrichment through play, presence, and connection • A calm, grounded environment (not chaotic or overstimulating) • Regular picture and video updates so you feel at ease while you’re away • And a CLEAN HOUSE when you come home! Because who wants chores right after a vacation 😊 My approach is rooted in respect—for your pet’s unique temperament, your home, and your peace of mind. Whether your pet thrives with companionship or prefers one-on-one care, I meet them exactly where they are. I keep my schedule intentionally limited during house sits so I can be fully present and provide a higher level of care, consistency, and connection. My background in animal care spans more than two decades, including hands-on experience working at a zoo and a children’s museum, where I cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely at ease. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I like to begin with a meet-and-greet. This allows us to connect, talk through your pet’s needs and routines, and make sure it feels like a natural, comfortable fit—for you, me, and your pet. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit 🤍 I work from home on the weekdays, so I spend most of my time with the pets I stay with. Usually I'm up early, I enjoy a morning and afternoon walk, and a chill evening at home. I'm available for drop ins and dog walks any day of the week. Ask me about discounted visits when you refer a neighbor! I like taking the time for pets to know and feel completely comfortable around me. I use their treats, toys, and praise to build trust, and calm presence to meet shy pets. My approach with positive reinforcement training is to let animals know that I am listening to them, and give them opportunities to let me know what they are needing.

About: Sometimes, well most of the time, I love animals more than people. I cannot walk by one without petting or talking to it. I work from home and therefore have great flexibility and availability to give your animal the attention it needs while you are away... I adore giving hugs and kisses, and spoiling them as they deserve to be... I think of my doggies as my children and I would do the same for yours... my husband is a dog whisperer and has the biggest heart for animals, so your pet would be in great hands here. I have also previously worked at a veterinarians office for a few years, so that experience can come in handy in many ways if ever needed. I look forward to working with you in the future!

“Really great experience. I contacted Tina last minute to help watch Sammy and Bella. Tina helped with my elderly dog and gave her medication. She sent several updates and pictures. Tina was excellent and we appreciate her time and the love she gave to my girls.”

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”


“Ellen is great! Super conscience and thoughtful- she comes prepared with her own poop bags, a portable water bowl and bottled water for a break for the pups in this FL heat. Much appreciated. Ellen filled in while our regular walker was unavailable this past week and both my labs loved her and enjoyed their morning walks with her. I will definitely reach out to her again if I need a walker and highly recommend her to anyone.”
