About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child—dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. Today, I’m the proud owner of three dogs and two cats, including senior pups I’ve raised since they were puppies (now 13 and 8 years old). This lifelong experience has taught me how to meet the needs of pets at every stage of life with patience, love, and responsibility. Desde pequeña he estado rodeada de mascotas; los perros y gatos siempre han sido parte de mi vida. Actualmente tengo tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo dos perritos mayores que crié desde cachorros (hoy tienen 13 y 8 años). Con los años he aprendido a cuidar a las mascotas en cada etapa de su vida, siempre con paciencia, cariño y responsabilidad. I work as a night-shift nurse, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets during the day. After a night of helping people, I find peace and joy spending time with animals—whether it’s walking dogs, feeding them, or simply giving them company. I care for my own three dogs and two cats, including seniors I’ve raised since they were puppies. Pet care is part of my everyday life, and I’d love to help you care for yours too. Trabajo como enfermera en el turno de noche, lo que me da la flexibilidad para cuidar mascotas durante el día. Después de una noche ayudando a personas, encuentro paz y alegría pasando tiempo con los animales, ya sea paseando perros, alimentándolos o simplemente haciéndoles compañía. Cuido de mis tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo perritos mayores que he criado desde cachorros. El cuidado de mascotas es parte de mi vida diaria, y me encantaría ayudarte a cuidar a las tuyas también. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting a client’s home or caring for pets in mine, I always create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets stay safe—whether on walks, during feedings, or while playing. I treat every pet like part of my own family, with respect for their space and your home. La seguridad y la confianza son mis prioridades. Ya sea que visite el hogar de un cliente o cuide mascotas en el mío, siempre creo un ambiente tranquilo y seguro donde las mascotas se sientan cómodas. Sigo todas las instrucciones con cuidado, mantengo las rutinas consistentes y me aseguro de que las mascotas estén seguras, ya sea durante los paseos, las comidas o el tiempo de juego. Trato a cada mascota como parte de mi familia, respetando su espacio y el de tu hogar.

“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”


About: As a young child in kindergarten , I told my mother I wanted to become a “dog catcher”. I have no idea what that is but I know I have always had a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own. I have always had dogs around me growing up so i have a lot of experience on caring for them. I work from home full time . My working days are M-W & then on Saturday. I’ll have plenty of time to watch your pets I have a fenced yard and I also have a little yorkie chihuahua mixed dog that lives with me and gets along well with other animals.

About: ✨A Pet Care Experience Rooted in Love & Trust✨ When you leave your dog with me, they’re not just watched—they’re deeply cared for, prayed over, and loved like family. I believe every animal is a creation of God, deserving of gentleness, safety, and joy. Whether it’s a peaceful nap, a playful walk, or a quiet cuddle, your pup will be surrounded by calm, loving presence. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs—this isn’t just a service; it’s a calling. As a dog mom to a senior pup myself, I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and consistent care. I’m confident in giving medications, supporting mobility, and reading subtle changes in behavior. I don’t just meet physical needs—I nurture the emotional and spiritual well-being of every dog in my care. I play worship music during rest time, keep a peaceful environment, and speak blessings over each furry guest. My goal is simple: that your dog would feel safe, loved, and completely at peace while you’re away. You can rest knowing that your best friend is being cared for with intention, compassion, and prayer. This is more than pet care-it's a ministry of love and peace. I offer flexible and dependable pet sitting services with a fully open schedule to accommodate your furry family members’ needs. Without current job constraints, I’m able to provide personalized care, medication administration, and attentive companionship for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether it’s regular visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My adaptable availability means I can tailor my support around your schedule and your pets’ routines, delivering peace of mind with professionalism and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I create a peaceful, grounded environment where animals feel secure and cared for, whether I’m stepping into their space or welcoming them into mine. With years of hands-on experience, especially with senior pets and those needing medication, I bring a calm, attentive presence that animals quickly respond to. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect, gentleness, and responsibility I give my own. My goal is to bring peace of mind—knowing your pets are not just safe, but genuinely cared for.

“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”


“Courtney was awesome! She stepped up when my original sitter canceled due to sickness. Courtney was amazing with my two dogs and they loved her. Very professional and loved my dogs as if they were her own. She's very courteous, on point, and amazing. Thank you so much!”


“Rae has done amazing with my pup Baxter. She always communicates with me and makes sure he’s taken care of. She makes sure he gets his exercise and brings over furry friends to play with him. Definitely recommend her!”


“Brooke was so great to work with and very kind to our cat! She checked on her over the holiday and visited with her 30 minutes each day. She sent a daily summary of the visit, cleaned the litter box and shared adorable photos of play time :) We knew our cat was in good hands while we were away. She went above and beyond and even helped us with our mail. I would absolutely recommend her services and plan to use her in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Colleen! :) I am very new to the Rover app experience but not to dog sitting! Whether it was a family or friends pups or my fellow coworkers, I’m happy to help! I love to spoil not only my dogs but yours as well! Bring on all the dog cuddles, kisses and tricks! I treat my babies more like human babies and would give the same amount of love to yours.

I work on Coronado Island M-F. I leave by 7:00am and arrive home no later than 4:30pm. Once home, the back door is wide open for the dogs to run free and have fun. My son and I spend our evenings outside with the dogs running around and playing fetch. I have a large fenced in back yard and two friendly silly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Bedtime is the best time because all dogs are welcome to sleep on the king size bed with me! Cuddles all night!!

Osceola Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!

Rachel was amazing with our animals! They were well taken care of and got to play while we were gone. I would recommend everyone ask Rachel to care for your fur babies!

Mariana is fabulous! Not only did she accommodate a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she loved on my pups and provided updates. They really enjoyed their belly rubs! She made sure to do a meet and greet and took some of their treats with them so they would feel comfortable on the 1st visit. I was initially worried because we have never left our pups in the care of someone we are not familiar with but Mariana took great care in asking what they needed and accommodating our schedule. We will definitely be a repeat client!

Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!

Juana is amazing!! She is so helpful and kind. I would recommend everyone have her watch your babies!

Caitlan was such a great sitter for our cat Kylo! All he technically needed was to be fed while we were gone but she stayed and loved on him and kept him company for a little while each drop in. I really appreciate that she communicated very well and was understanding when I accidentally booked a check in while I was still home. I recommend her 100%
