I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

“We appreciate her being extremely understanding! We also appreciate her being available on short notice. Gizmo loved his walks with her and always came back home happy and tired! She’s very sweet and we will definitely book with her again.”

“Poliana was wonderful ? ??! I hired her to walk my 8 month 70 pound yellow lab twice daily for three consecutive days while his regular dog walker was out. We did a FaceTime meeting which allowed me to see her care of her current animals and allowed me to review the particulars of my home and dog. I was honest with Poliana in that my dog was very much still a puppy and that despite doing two months of one on one doggy training pulling on the leash was something his regular dog walker complained about still to the point I was actively reaching out to his dog trainer to help remediate. Poliana advised me she would be able to work with my dog and work with him she did ?. I advised her I walk him on the left usually with no criss crossing allowed unless he is given the cue to stop etc and that I usually shorten up the leash in my hand to do so. She did the exact same! She actually mentioned she didn’t find he pulled excessively with her which I believe is more of a kudos to her experience with dogs and command of the situation each time she walked him. I was actually cringing at the thought of another dog walker complaining about my puppy who despite two months of very expensive one on one obedience training with a behavioralist is still a puppy ?. A 70 lb one at that! She did amazing and always filled his water bowls with fresh water too. I was a little nervous allowing a stranger into my home alone but Poliana was very trustworthy and I am very grateful for that also. I am so thankful she did such a wonderful job walking my son (my puppy! ???) and putting me at ease he was in kind, competent and able hands ?. Thanks again Poliana!!! 5 stars!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ???. IA and Antonio the Yellow Lab ???”

About: I have a background in dog walking, caring for dogs and all of their needs. Keeping energetic dog entertained, and making sure your little buddie gets whatever they need. I have experience taking care of senior dogs that require a little extra love and attention, as well as younger dog who have energy to burn. My mom is a veterinary nurse and I work as at an ER vet so taking care of animals has become second nature for me. As an owner of two dogs and a cat, I will care for your four legged family members as if it were my own. From bell rubs and playing fetch to long walks around the neighborhood I insure you, your dog will be well taken care of . When I'm not working at ER vet I work at I love to either come home and cuddle with my dogs or find a new place to explore with them. My dogs and other pets have become part of my daily life and I wouldn't change have it any other way. I will make sure that your fur babies have the best time while I'm caring for them and have no problem giving them any meds they may need or making sure they are put back in there crate (if they have one).

“Stacie walked Nell for the first time, and we couldn’t be happier! She was kind, reliable and gave our dog so much affection—plus great pics. Thanks, Stacie!”

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, a TRUE animal lover. For the past 7 years, I’ve enjoyed caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and species. Dogs, cats, bunnies, birds…you name it! I open my heart & home to animals in need through volunteer fostering, primarily caring for cats and kittens with medical needs. Full-time pet sitting has allowed me to continue doing what I love most: giving animals the care, attention, and love they deserve. Have a unique pet, or a pet with unique needs? I have extensive experience administering medication, including insulin injections, and I'm happy to meet anxious or nervous pets wherever they're at. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I'd love nothing more than to become a trusted member of your pet's pack! Pet sitting is my full-time job! I'm flexible, and can typically make a wide variety of days and times work. Just let me know what your animal needs, and I will always do my best to accommodate! I understand some animals may need time to warm up to me! I always follow my client's instructions, and promise to take meticulous care of your fur babies. I am detail-oriented by nature!

About: I've shared my life with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I've learned that the best pet care starts with understanding the individual animal. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace, I'm comfortable adapting to their unique needs and routines. My experience includes puppy training, housebreaking, basic obedience, administering medications, managing special diets, and caring for aging dogs. I've also had the pleasure of doing therapy work with two of my own dogs, including my Australian Labradoodle, Lily. Those experiences taught me a great deal about patience, attentiveness, and the remarkable bond we share with our animals. I'm naturally affectionate and nurturing, but also calm, observant, and respectful of each dog's personality. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm visiting yours, you can expect thoughtful, dependable care and open communication. Being semi-retired gives me the flexibility to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I spend much of my time at home with my own pets, so I'm accustomed to planning my days around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. My schedule allows me to provide a comfortable, attentive environment for dogs boarding in my home, with only occasional short outings for errands and family commitments. I also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own familiar surroundings. I value consistency and communication and make every effort to accommodate each pet's established routine while balancing my regular family commitments. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my approach centers on their individual needs, established routines, and comfort. **In My Home (Dog Boarding):** I keep my boarding capacity small, welcoming no more than two guest dogs at a time so each receives plenty of personal attention. My fully fenced backyard provides space for supervised play and outdoor time. My two Australian Labradoodles, Lily and Blossom, are part of our household, and introductions are handled thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I maintain separate spaces when needed and follow each guest's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and care instructions. I spend much of my day at home, with occasional short outings for family commitments. **In Your Home (Drop-In Visits):** I respect the routines and environment your pets are accustomed to. Visits include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications when needed, and playtime or companionship suited to each pet's personality. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being and will communicate any concerns. With either service, you can expect regular updates, photos, and thoughtful, dependable care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in capable, caring hands.

About: I have grown up with at least 2 dogs my whole life and I love the bond that can come with an animal. I have walked and pet sit many times. I also volunteer at the animal shelter whenever I can! I would love to help watch over or walk your dog! I am currently working part time and have a pretty open schedule and availability. Just contact me about scheduling and we can work it out! I can pretty much help with whatever the animal needs. I know everyone has different styles on how they take care of their animals, so that’s something that we can discuss!

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have been watching other people's animals for the last 5 years. I've had lots of experience giving dogs medicine as well. I'm available to take your dogs on walks, play extra inside, or just give them some lovies while they're comfy on the couch! I'm new to Rover but excited to get the chance to be a part of your babies day!! I'm a pet owner myself so I understand leaving your baby in the care of another person is scary. If there's anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable please let me know! Thank you for trusting me with their care☺️ I'm off Friday - Sunday so I'll be able to be home all day. Everyone is different but, if your cat/dog likes to play and run around we can go on walks and have some extra playtime, and if they need a little less movement I'll always be there to give them some extra love and let them get comfy! I'm super excited to get to know your baby and help them feel welcomed into my home :) I live in an apartment and have lots of space for them to play inside, but there is also a dog park in the complex that I'd be happy to take them to. There's also lots of walking areas if your pup enjoys going on long walks :) if you prefer, I also have a park not too far that we can drive down to and take walks there as well! I do have a dog and two cats, they're very well behaved and good with other animals, but I also have a separate space for them if your baby prefers to have their own!!

About: I got my first dog for my first birthday, and haven’t looked back since! I am the designated “pet sitter”’for all of my family and friends, and can’t imagine a life without fur babies! I currently have two dogs (a yellow lab and a golden doodle), and two cats. We have a fenced backyard, and a field beyond the fence where we love to run our dogs in the evenings, and when the weather is cooler. I currently work Monday - Friday; 8-4. I have a flexible schedule, and can work from home. My office is 15 minutes from my house, so I can always pop in for a mid-day potty break :) I have a fenced yard with two fur babies of my own! They are friendly to both humans and other animals. They love having friends over to play!

“Michael was wonderful. Our Peaches was always excited to see him and came back happy and tired. He was timely, pleasant and kind. Thank you Michael”

“Sarah was incredibly accommodating, adjusting her schedule for a last-minute booking to walk Alexander. She always maintains a positive attitude, sending me photos throughout the walk and going the extra mile by leaving the house clean for me. Thank you Sarah!”

“I appreciate very much your care for my baby. My Mini-Schnauzer looks very happy since all his needs were met. Amanda is very sweet with dogs and understand them very well.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home where we always had a dog, and as soon as I graduated from college and was living on my own, I welcomed a pup of my own into my life. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Oliver, my sweet little Maltese-poodle mix, who has been part of our family for the past year. I understand that our dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family! I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is being cared for by someone who is loving, responsible, and attentive. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own dog. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I’m a full-time professional and a dedicated dog mom, so caring for dogs is already a natural part of my daily routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure pups get plenty of attention and exercise. I’m looking forward to incorporating dog walking and pet care into my schedule during evenings, weekends, and other times when I’m available. I value being dependable and will only accept bookings when I know I can give your pup the time, attention, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! As a dog mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing, or spending time together at home, I’ll always prioritize their safety and well-being. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to instructions, and committed to keeping you informed with updates and photos. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pup is being cared for with the same love and attention I give my own!

About: Since I was born I've been around dogs of all kinds whether they were my own, a family members, my friends and even neighbours. If I was to young to dog sit I would go with my grandma instead. I'm in the midst of resigning from my current job and will be available all hours of the day on weekdays for the time being. A firm believer of gentle parenting. Whenever I let dogs out I always watch or stay outside with them just in case and I try my best to give all dogs the good life they deserve, filled with love and fun.

“Taylor was amazing and caring for our dog. While we were away our apartment AC went out and she took great care of our dog while we sorted out the repairs.”

About: I’ve taken care of my pets my whole life, including my cat Gracie Lou, chow sharpie mix Sunshine and my ball python Klaus for the past eight years. I’ve fostered kittens, volunteered at the animal shelter and pet sit for friends cats growing up. I love animals and I’m happy to care for them! Everyday I make sure my three pets have clean water and food (except the ball python they only eat once a month) I play with my cat and dog every day. I work Friday & Saturday at 6PM but other than that I have full availability. I would make sure they get clean water, food and play time as those are essential. I love to take dogs on walks as many times are needed. I’d make sure that the kitty litter box is clean.
