“I was overall happy with the care Mary gave to my pet. She knows everything about cats whether they’re big or small. I was updated by her and gave me photos and videos. My cat enjoyed his time at her home and it was like a vacation for him. I will for sure come back for her whenever I need a cat sitter.”


“I cannot recommend Maisa highly enough! She boarded my pomsky, Romeo, for four days and she provided best-in-class service from start to finish. Her communication was above and beyond—she sent a milllion photos and videos, keeping me updated from sunrise to sunset. I never once had to wonder how Romeo was doing; I could see how happy and comfortable he was every step of the way. Additionally, Romeo absolutely adored Maisa's two dogs. They played well together and by all accounts there were no issues integrating Romeo into her home. It was clear she genuinely cared about Romeo and treated him like one of her own. Her attention to detail, warmth, and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I know he had a great time playing with her two dogs! If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”


“Johanne is an amazing sitter! I have no words to express how great she is. She is extremely loving and responsible! She sent me plenty of pictures and videos while I was on vacation, and it felt like I was with my doggy all day! He had a blast with her and her dog, and when I picked him up, I saw how much he loved and appreciated her! I will definitely be booking with Johanne again! She is the absolute best sitter for your pup!”


“Nicole looked after our two dogs for a four days. They were well taken care of and she sent pictures and a video to keep us updated. I would highly recommend Nicole.”


“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! So grateful that she opened her home to my mini goldendoodle. I left for a whole week and was so nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time but her daily updates especially with videos of her boys playing with my pup brought me so much peace and joy while away. I will 100% re-book with Elizabeth in the future.”


“Marley had another great stay with Antonio! This is her second time staying with him and when she saw him she put her paws on his shoulders and gave him kisses :) She’s not a huge people-dog so this was an excellent sign that she loves and feels comfortable with him! She came home happy and relaxed. Marley is our world and we feel so lucky to know that she has a safe place to stay when we are away and has someone like Antonio to look after her and give her lots of treats and attention! Thank you again Antonio!”


“Kristina is AMAZING. Great correspondence, wonderful care. Your pet is in totally great hands with her. We will be using her the next time we are in South Florida. Ben and Jerry loved her.”


“Heather made our trip away from home so much easier!! She was super responsive, sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. We were happy and comfortable working with her. We finally found someone we can trust with Capri :)”


“Fantastic dog watcher! Jose sent us pictures the whole time of all the fun things he did with our doggy Luna while watching her. Fantastic communication from Jose and was able to accommodate a last minute pickup time change. Thanks Jose!”


About: I'm a dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups. For the past 5 years, I've been a dedicated foster parent for South Florida Dachshund Rescue, welcoming over 20+ adorable pups into my loving home! Currently, my sweet dachshund, Luna (age 10!), keeps me company, and I previously had a Jack Russell who lived a happy life to 17. Being around dogs my whole life has given me a deep understanding of their needs. I can tailor walks to your dog's energy level and personality, ensuring they get the exercise and playtime they deserve. Whether your pup is a playful dachshund or a spunky Jack Russell, I'll treat them like my own – with love, patience, and respect. I taken care of dogs of all ages and have learned the patience of gaining a dogs trust with love and affection. I am self employed and have lots of free time through out my days all week Monday thru Sunday to cater all your pet care needs. My Luna is potty trained and moves around the house as she pleases. Our apartment offers tons of space and is a very peaceful and welcoming environment for any dog.

“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! This was our first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Rebecca was incredibly sweet and caring — my dog Hera felt right at home with her and her lovely dog Lemon. Hera was walked, fed, loved, and even given her medication with care and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Becca again!”


“Kathye was awesome!!! My pup loved his stay with her so much he cried when she left him. Thank you so much Kathye!! Will definitely use Kathye’s services again. :)”


“Anastasiia and Vadim did amazing. I have a dog that is very anxious, and hard to approach. They have been very patient with her, and I saw in the (many many) pictures and video's that they send that she was starting to feel more comfortable. I would feel great leaving my dog with them again!”


“Christy and Ben were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I needed a dog sitter last minute and they were fantastic in communication and extremely accommodating. My dog Philly fell in love with them. They looked after her like she was their own and sent loads of pics and videos and messages whilst Philly stayed with them. I will 100% be using them in future 🙏🏼 Thanks Christy and Ben”


“I was Patrick & Meredith first experience on Rover. It was going really well and unfortunately... No fault of the H's a dog attacked my dog (they had taken all precautions but the aggressive dog owners hadn't). They sprung into action and took him to my listed vet (who is way out of their way). They called me immediately and helped manage the cost side by insulating me from the aggressive dog owner (they did all the difficult things). They couldn't have handled it better and on top of that Eli is beyond excited when he knows he's going on vacation to their house. I've had trouble feeling sitters have integrity and or transparency (wasn't ever sure if previous sitters would hide things from me or even mistreat Eli) Patrick and Meredith have both integrity and transparency. Eli will only be staying with them so... Don't tell everyone or they'll be too busy :) Feel fortunate that I found them. I couldn't recommend them any more highly. No exaggeration, they truly treat your dog as an extension of their family and when I'm traveling they remove any worry I'd typically have for his well-being which is very comforting. Thanks as always!”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

“Raquel was so wonderful!! I got constant updates and pictures and my pup had the best time. Highly recommend and I will definitely be booking again in the future!”


“I highly recommend Nika & Armando for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! They took such great care of Myla, making sure she was well-loved and entertained. Having their own two dogs was a huge plus, as it gave Myla plenty of playtime and companionship. We especially appreciated them taking her to the park to run around and burn off energy—she came home happy and tired!”
