“Great communication and very nice. Carilyn was very responsive and always answered my call with any questions I had. I love receiving pictures from his stay. Cinco had a great time!”
“Lena was such a pleasure. She treated Corvo with such care and love. I was very nervous since this was his first time being away from me but I immediately felt better seeing pictures and video of him while I was away. I would recommend Lena and would book her again!”
“We absolutely LOVED Daijah. She is so sweet and caring and Dolly had such a good time with her. She didn’t want to leave her!! She took such good care of my pup and I can’t recommend her enough. I’ll definitely be using her whenever I’m in Orlando :)”
“Wilfredo was extremely professional and provided our Senior Dog excellent care. From the first meeting “Get to know each other” to the actual dog sitting time Wilfredo gave us the best assurance we were leaving Dory in the best hands. Even when I had a returning flight delay, he worked with me to meet up later on with no issues. Thank you Wilfredo! We 100% look forward to the next time.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life, and I can’t imagine a home without them. Your fur babies will be treated like my own – with Love, Patience, and Plenty of Attention. I had the flexibility to accommodate the individual needs of each pet in my care, ensuring their routines and well-being remain a priority. I’m currently not caring for pets in my home. But, I’m happy to make adjustments when necessary to provide consistent and attentive care that works for everyone. Keeping pets comfortable, and in their normal routine is important to me. I will follow their usual schedule, talk to them throughout my visit, give plenty of love, and provide reassurance. When appropriate, I may leave calming music after I leave.
“Lisa as once again amazing with our dogs. Always professional, kind, attentive and caring. Lisa watched our two dogs for 9-days! We will continue to hire Lisa if she’ll have us. 😁 Thank you so much.”

Because I manage my own schedule, your pet becomes a seamless, prioritized part of my daily routine—never an afterthought. As a certified dog trainer working from home, sharing our lives with animals is an absolute must for my family and me. My entire day is structured to create a safe, trusted environment where your pet is our absolute priority. Because I manage my own business, my early-morning routine is completely flexible. I can easily accommodate early drop-ins right before or after I walk my own dogs, seamlessly weaving positive reinforcement training into our time together to improve behavior. To guarantee total peace of mind, a Meet & Greet is a must for all new clients. This gives us a chance to build real trust, ensures you feel entirely comfortable, and allows me to gather the critical details needed to protect and care for your pet exactly the way you prefer. Think of my service as a Bespoke Concierge for Pets and Pet Parents. I custom-design every walk and drop-in visit around your pet's specific safety and behavioral needs: Tailored Walking Plans: Before we head out, I look closely at your dog's leash habits. Knowing if they are friendly or reactive, hyper-energetic or easily tired, or dealing with specific environmental triggers allows me to manage risks and keep them entirely safe. Secure Drop-In Care: For home visits, I track everything from precise food, water, and medication schedules to their favorite toys. I also proactively verify if your pet is a stealthy escape artist so I can secure the environment.

About: I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe they deserve care that’s tailored to them. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I want you to have complete peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and lots of affection. My goal is for your pet to feel happy and secure, and for you to return home knowing they received the same love and attention they get from you. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to rather than just fitting into my day. My flexibility also allows me to provide consistent care, regular exercise, and plenty of updates, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. At my home, pets will have a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention and affection. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. They’ll never be left outside unattended, and I’ll always make sure they’re secure and comfortable.
“Sue was absolutely amazing when watching my dogs. She really enjoys having dogs around. I know they had an amazing time. She is very patient with them and gives them plenty of cuddles. I am so happy I found her on Rover and she will be watching my dogs for future trips.”
“Laura is truly a star sitter! Our Pitweiler can sometimes be a handful, and we were a little nervous using Rover for the first time to find a sitter. Laura knew just how to handle her; kept her entertained, supervised, and loved all at the same time; and provided frequent updates and pictures showing such how much fun our girl was having and how loved she was. If you're a little uneasy about having someone new watch your fur baby, rest assured that Laura is the real deal and that your pet will be in very capable, loving hands. We will definitely use Laura again whenever the need arises.”
“Thank you Gloria for taking care of Dante and the great care you took with him, more than pleased with your service. We will definitely use your excellent service again, thank you again for making Dante feel like part of your family.🐾💙”
“Hannah watched my dog, Cosmo, while I was away on vacation for 5 days and 4 nights after a meet and greet a few days prior. Hannah is very easy to communicate with. I received pictures within 2 hours of dropping Cosmo off. He was all smiles and snuggles. I received regular updates after that and got all good reports. Cosmo has his quirks so I was excited to hear that Hannah was bringing out the best in him. Thank you Hannah for taking such great care of Cosmo!”

What an amazing experience from start to finish! John and his family welcomed our sweet boy in and made him feel like one of the family! He was quick to respond and send photos as well; we felt safe knowing Moose was well loved and taken care of! We will definitely ask John and his family to watch Moose again in the future! What a pleasure!
Chella is definitely going to be my new go to for my boys! I’m always anxious finding a sitter for my large dog because he can be a handful but Chella was wonderful and so reassuring. She kept me updated on how they were doing and in every picture she sent my boys looked right at home.
We couldn’t be happier with Jean as our dog sitter! We are repeat customers, and every time we book, the experience is consistently excellent. Lola is always well cared for, happy, and comfortable, and we truly appreciate Jean’s reliability, great communication, and genuine love for animals. It’s such a relief knowing Lola is in safe and caring hands whenever we’re away. Highly recommend Jeanand his family —we’ll definitely continue booking with him!
