“Alexis was above and beyond! She was extremely communicative and didn’t hesitate to ask amazing questions of how to care better for our pets! I recommend her with complete confidence that you will be pleased.”


“Lisa is the dog whisperer. She is so caring for your pet and actively involved with your dog. Or any pet she will watch for you! Absolutely recommend Lisa for all your needs!!”


“Jo is absolutely fantastic! We were nervous, since we’ve never used Rover before, but Jo sent us regular updates and pictures and it was clear our dogs were in great hands. She came over to meet the dogs before we left, and when we got back our dogs were happy and stress-free! I promise you will not regret booking Jo for your next trip!”


“This is my first time using Rover and Amber; I will never put my dog in any boarding/pet hotel/ doggy daycare again!! Amber did such a wonderful job with Milo, he got personal attention, long walks and kept his schedule all in his own home. When we boarded him, it would take a couple of days just to get “Milo” back to his normal self, but when we got back today he was his normal self thanks to Amber’s excellent care. Amber also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping everything neat and clean, including laundering the bath towels and bedding used while staying here. Any apprehension we initially had using Rover for the first time has been put to rest, and Amber is a great choice to care for your pet and your home!!”



“Gislene was wonderful. She did an extended initial meet and greet with Bubba so he felt comfortable. When I ended up coming home a day later she extended her stay. Bubba and Gracie loved her!”


About: I’ve always had pets in my life growing up, since losing my 11 year old pittie to cancer, my heart is not ready for another pet. So I would to share my love for animals with other peoples fur babies. It helps them and me. I’m currently working full time 9-5 weekdays in Miramar Beach but live in Fort Walton Beach. So before and after work and anytime on the weekends. I will not over step my boundaries, whatever the client needs are is exactly what I will do. Written instructions are always helpful. I take pet care very seriously, just like I would for my own pet.

“Jacob was amazing with Pua! I would say he went above and beyond in taking care of her and making sure that she had everything she needed. He was very attentive to her needs and was easily accessible.”


About: Hey there! I am such an animal lover it’s crazy. I’ve been in the veterinary field for almost 10 years now. I am very attentive and alert to any abnormal issues or concerns regarding your fur babies! The amazing thing about me watching your babies is that if there is any issue, I am able to assist and bring them to my work and do a work up on them. I work full time at a veterinary hospital. I am available mornings and anytime after 6 during the week. I do not work weekends so I am able to tend to them all weekend as needed. I have two fur babies that love cats and new dogs around. I do prefer being in their environment only because I tend to see more stress or lethargy when they are taken out of their comfort zone.

“Nicole was an amazing sitter! Not only did she communicate great but she sent me cute videos of my pup with updates. Took him on walks and gave him all the attention he deserves. I highly recommend!”


About: Hello My Name is Karycelis! I have been taking care of dogs all my life and I'm happy I can get the opportunity to be a "nannie" for them and enjoy them for a couple days or the time needed. I'm a responsible person, clean, loving and respectful. I love playing with dogs I'm very dedicated and will follow every instruction. Love cuddling with them and give them the love they need while the dog mom's or dad's are gone. If you have any question, feel free to ask. It will be a pleasure to be a nannie and take care of them as well! Thank you! My work and my schedule is very flexible, i always try to make sure i have time for them and also make sure they are in a good place. I take them outside as much as possible and always follow the owners rules or specifications they have, i just want them to feel comfortable

“Daisy did a terrific job with our 2 girls. She gave them so much attention. She sent updates and pictures everyday. She even called when she noticed Pepper was having problems with her ears. And took her to the Vet for us. We highly recommend Darsy. We will definitely use her again. If we could we would give her 10 stars!”


“Laura was a fabulous sitter. She was great with communication, and most importantly took care wonderful care of my pups! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing services and will be a repeat customer in the future!”


About: Lifelong pet lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs. Skilled in administering medications (pill and liquid forms) and currently fostering through PAWS. Dedicated to treating every furry companion with the same love and care as my own. I currently work part time. I am available throughout the day for any needs your pets may have. Walks can be arranged either morning or evening for pets comfort. I like to know your pets routine (feeding/exercise/play/sleep) so we can maintain their schedule. Generally wont do walks midday due to heat but can do play sessions outside.

“My husband and I went to Paris for a week and looked for some help with our two dogs, one 11 with back leg issues and a 2 year old pup full of energy. We matched with Taelor and set up time to meet her and Nilla (beautiful retriever). She arrived on time and everyone hit it off from the get go. Taelor moved in the day we left and stayed with our dogs for the full week looking after our dogs and sitting our home which was a huge relief for us. From day one Taelor communicated with us and sent photos of walks, play time, and some meal time updates. It was such a boost for us 5000 miles away to know our dogs were being treated with such love. By the mid point of the trip we were sharing some of Paris with Taelor as she shared photos from home. I cannot stress enough how incredibly communicative she was everyday. We got home to a pair of dogs super happy to see us but well looked after. The dishes and bedding were all washed (not requested) and the house was in perfect shape. We have already booked Taelor for a future trip and I cannot recommend her more strongly. Her rates are more than fair for the service she provides. It is like having a family member look after your pets. She is quite frankly the best. Thanks Taelor”


“By far the best experience I’ve ever had in a sitter! I was so nervous having to find a sitter but then after meeting Andrea and seeing how great she was with my kitty I was immediately put to ease. I would recommend her over and over! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her!”


About: We absolutely love caring for dogs and treat them like family just like we do with our own two sweet pups (🐶🐶). Your dog will be in loving hands, spoiled with attention, belly rubs, and plenty of playtime! Since I work from home full-time, I’m available every day to give your dog the care and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s active play, calm snuggles, or keeping up with their routine, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and happy to work with your schedule and preferences because I know how important it is to make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 💕 Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine and something we truly enjoy. I have the flexibility to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just some snuggles and companionship. I love incorporating pets into my schedule; they bring joy and structure to my day. Making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved is always a top priority for me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. At home, pets are treated like part of the family lots of cuddles, playtime, regular walks, and a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have a cozy space, fresh water, and follow any specific instructions or feeding schedules. When I’m in a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to minimize anxiety while they’re away. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean, and ensure the pets receive all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. Communication is also important to me. I always provide updates photos, and videos, so fur parents have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Pebbles and Adam loved their time with Cheryl. Cheryl was very polite, respectful, and did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again the next time we go out of town.”


About: I Have taken care of pets all my life. My family and friends have always been surrounded by their presence. I enjoy taking care of them and giving them all the love that they deserve. I know all pets have different personalities, some are more playful, some are more peaceful. Some trust more than others. Whatever the case is, I am patient to get to know them and understand their needs. I am very blessed to have my wife next to me always loving the pets that surround us. We have pet sitter many times together and is just a bunch of love around. We love that! It makes us more happy than we already are! One day even our future babies will enjoy that with us too! I am currently only attending college online so I have plenty of availability. I have time throughout the week and sometimes the weekends too. I will always try to work it out. Plus my wife is always there for me, so she can always take the times that I cannot. I do not have any pets so if I was to receive pets in my home they do not have to worry about other pets. That way they are more comfortable!
