“Audrey was super accommodating for my late notice booking and she was very patient/ communicative with my anxious girl. My building staff saw my dog around with Audrey, and they told me she looked so happy and comfortable 🙂”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years and have owned six of my own—ranging from tiny Shih Tzus to high-energy Belgian Malinois. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs up to 17 years old, including those with mobility issues. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m confident in my ability to provide the care, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m a bartender at night, which means I get to spend my days doing what I love most—hanging out with my puppies! I’m all about giving them attention, playtime, and care around the clock. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I treat every animal like my own. I stick to their routines, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’m big on communication, so I’ll always keep you updated with pics and how your pet is doing. Clean, cozy, and stress-free is the goal every time!
“Elisha did a fantastic job. We were traveling in our camper. She had to make complex arrangements, coordinating with the RV park office to pick up and drop off the key. She handled it all without any complaints like a true professional. If you are ever traveling in the Ft. Lauderdale area (or live there) and need a reliable dog walker, please book Elisha.”

About: (unfortunately due to my other job I am only available Saturday and Sunday -Fridays after 4pm) Hi my name is Kimberly and I'm passionate about providing exceptional care for your furry friends. With a background as a beginner pet trainer and experience working in dog daycares, I've had the joy of interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. From teaching basic obedience skills to managing group play sessions, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety when it comes to caring for pets. I'm dedicated to ensuring every pet in my care feels loved, happy, and well-cared for. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting your beloved companion and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. I make time for pet care by setting aside specific slots in my schedule. This could involve feeding, grooming, walks, and playtime, ensuring their needs are met consistently. In my home, I prioritize creating a pet-friendly environment with proper food, water, toys, and a comfortable resting area. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I follow their instructions diligently, ensuring the pet's routine and needs are met with care and attention.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family and friends for many years. I love being with animals and will do everything I can to make them comfortable and happy. I’m available for pet boarding daily all weekdays and weekends whenever I’m not at school. I’ll be sure to provide the best care that I can! I have a fenced yard and I live nearby the park so I can exercise and walk your dog however much they need. I also provide care for indoor cats and will keep them safe in my room until they’re confident that they can walk around. I give lots of treats, make sure all of their facilities are clean, and feed them as directed by the owner.
About: Hi there! 😸 I’ve been caring for animals in both professional and personal settings for years, and I’m excited to be offering pet sitting again. My background includes working as a veterinary technician, where I gained hands-on experience with animal health, medications, and handling pets with special needs. After that, I spent several years as a zookeeper, caring for everything from giraffes, rhinos, zebras to smaller hoofstock. It gave me a deep appreciation for animal behavior, patience, and safety. At home, I share my life with cats, reptiles, and fish, so I understand the unique care that different species need. I also used to pet sit regularly, and now that I’ve stepped away from full-time zookeeping I have full availability once again. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or extra attention for senior pets. I bring reliability, calm energy, and a trained eye to every animal in my care. Your pets will be treated like family, and you can relax knowing they’re with someone who’s comfortable with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and routines. 🦒🦏🦓🐈⬛🐕🦜🐢🐟 I care for my own cats, reptiles, and fish daily, so animal care is already part of my routine. With open availability now, I can easily fit in walks, visits, or overnights whenever needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That includes sticking to feeding schedules, giving walks or playtime, keeping litter boxes or habitats clean, and making sure they get plenty of attention. With my background as a veterinary technician and former zookeeper, I’m also experienced in giving medications, monitoring behavior, and noticing subtle changes in health or stress. Every visit is about making sure pets are happy and cared for just as they would be by their family.
About: I've been caring for dogs for some time now. My own personal four dogs, also worked with groups in large dog daycare for 5 years. Pet care is the main part of my daily life because I literally live for my dogs and work with others dogs. It's twenty-four hours In my home I like to spend time outside in my garden with my guys. I have a fenced in area that they can use to play or hangout. I like taking long walks, usually I'm up early to get them out before it's too hot. Two long walks, one in the early morning and the other in the evening,unless it's cool weather then there's another walk during the day. Just keep them stimulated and busy ,that keeps them safe. I like to let them get to know me and see that they're safe, sometimes that means I give them space until they approach me. Just play and show them love.

About: Hello.My name pronouncedNe-Ka. I am a lifelong-animal lover. I've had dogs my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my life. I recently lost my 16-year-old Chihuahua, and while my heart is still healing, I realized how much joy being around animals brings me. That's what inspired me to join Rover. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. In fact, my love for animals runs so deep that I've been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your furry friends with the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own. I am very flexible to meet the needs of your pet and make them my top priority while in my care. I allow pets to have whatever you permit them to have-treats, cuddles in the couch we’re just playtime at the park. With plenty of pictures and videos for you. I also have experience with cat sitting. I’m just a woman who loves animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, companionship while you're away, or extra love and attention, I'd be honored to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I prefer not to have any in home boarding at my home but in willing to come to yours. If you don’t see a calendar date just reach out to me. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs.

“I couldn't walk my dog because i had to leave my house in a rush, so, I needed someone to walk him, i looked at the app and I found Melissa, she was incredible awesome!, she was punctual, she followed all the instructions, my dog loved her as soon as he saw her, she was so sweet and reassuring and we felt comfortable with her as soon as we met her. I know she is a great walker because Bolt came back sooo tired 🤣🤣 and happy, and we're so grateful she gave him the exercise he needs! I am definitely trusting her again with my dog, Bolt. Thanks, Melissa!”

About: I have 5 dogs (3 miniature schnauzers, 1 giant schnauzer, and one small terrier mix). 2 of the 3 minis are senior dogs. Both of them were rescues and were traumatized. My 15 year old was rescued at 3 to 4 months because of the previous owner not wanting her anymore. My 11 year old was rescued at 7 years old from a severely abusive home. The other is a puppy, and the giant schnauzer is 2 years of age that were purchased from reputable breeders! My 1 year terrier was also abused and she came from the broward animal shelter. I also have a cat, and she’s 7 years old. I adopted her from the humane society and she’s the sweetest cat. I do have experience with traumatized animals, giving pills by mouth, brushing, brushing their teeth, cleaning their ears, and due to the amount of animals I have, I have a lot of patience! I also trained all of my dogs. I am not certified, but I did teach them basic tricks like sit, lay down, crate, and give me a paw. Besides that, I also have two bearded dragons. They are both in their own separate 4x2x2 enclosures. I am okay with feeding them bugs, as I do so twice to three times a week and greens for the rest of the days! I am a full time student, but I mostly stay at home due to online classes. I do pet care any chance I get due to having so many pets! Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable and as happy as can be. I can give them medicine if they need it, or brush their fur, brush their teeth, clean their ears, and whatever else! This is what I do with my pets at home, so I wouldn’t mind doing it for yours. I also am okay with walking dogs, playing with them, and maybe teaching a trick or two!
