About: I’m not just a pet sitter, I’m pet lover. I’ve cared for my own dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and fish growing up. I’ve also cared for the pets of my family, friends, and neighbors. In high school I graduated from a veterinary technician program, and while I changed my career path, I still have the training and experience to care for animals no matter the age, personality, or needs. I can also administer medication, bathe and lightly groom your pets upon request. I work from home and my schedule allows plenty of flexibility to ensure my pets as well as yours will get the care they need. It’s not just about the pets. I understand how important it is for you to return to a tidy, safe, and secure environment after your travels. Rest assured, your house is in good hands with me. I’ll keep things are running smoothly, water your plants, collect your mail, and ensure your home remains a haven of tranquility.
“Amanda is an excellent pet care professional. She’s always on time and was very easy to set up care for my 4 month old puppy. She goes above and beyond, and clearly cares for animals. She was a vet tech and is currently studying to be a vet. Would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for someone who is friendly, trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable with pets.”

About: I have had 2 dogs in the household at all times since I was a baby and started dog sitting at 14. I have experience fostering dogs, boarding, training, walking and sitting. I have cared for dogs big and small, young and old and have loved them all. I am attentive to detail and give them the care they deserve. I am consistent with communication and will send updates/pictures throughout or as requested! I am currently working Wednesdays and have classes Tuesday-Friday. Friday is a very short day for me so besides one hour in the morning I am free. The best days for me are Saturday-Monday but my schedule is very flexible and I can work with you and what's best for your pups! I am a very active person so I take pups on long walks or runs (if they are up for it) multiple times a day. I am very attentive to their needs and they will always come first.
About: Growing up with pets my whole life, I have learned to care and love pets of all ages. From puppies/kittens to senior citizens of all sizes and breeds. My family are big animal lovers and would love to help you in your time of need. I am a stay at home mom. I am fully available to attend to your animals needs. Not only will helping you help me, but this will also help my kids learn responsibility when at home..mom will take care of the harder stuff 🙂 Please keep in mind I can take multiple (2-4) pets at a time. My home has beds for all pets. If needed, I can provide gated areas, unlimited water supply & stick to your pets everyday schedule. There is also unlimited love available for your pet.
“Olivia was great. I was extremely comfortable during our meet and greet. She was not in a rush to get in and out. My dogs were very comfortable around her and when she came for her first drop in I was totally comfortable and I appreciate the pictures. She let me know she was on her way, and when she left. I am a big fan of communication and Olivia was all over it. I am excited to fill her calendar.”


About: I have lived with both dogs and cats my entire life and would consider myself an expert on both. I have a lot of experience with tending to elderly dogs as well as dealing with some temperamental cats. I already dedicate time to taking care of my tabby cat. This involves feeding him, getting him lots of exercise, changing cat litter and more. I am able to help with whatever is necessary in caring for pets including feeding, changing water, playing, taking out to the bathroom, and even walks.
About: I’m active, patient, and reliable. I run regularly, enjoy long walks, and make sure high-energy dogs get proper exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages :) Pet care fits easily into my routine as a nursing student. I’m available early mornings and most afternoons after noon, making walks, runs, and check-ins easy to schedule. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I focus on safe walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention.
About: Howdy! I am a laid back dog lover who would love to hang out with some dogs after work. I have a dog of my own who is always up for friends or to relax at home. I currently work full time but could do evening walks or weekend drop-in every few hours. Sadly living in an apartment I can not have any animals staying with me. I do not plan to have dogs at my apartment at this time. I plan to explore dog walking and drop in until I can move into a house.
About: You could probably say I enjoy being around dogs more than most people. I consider dogs angels. I love to spoil them. My two girls are very spoiled. I have always had a dog. At one time I had 4 large dogs. I know what distress looks like and I know animal safeguarding. My husband and I have a deep bond with animals. We will care for your dog just as if they were ours. I’m a retired teacher and I love and truly understand dogs. I will love your pet as if he/she were my own. I’ve done all kinds of medications including kidney care involving injections and oral medicine. I have a fenced in yard and a safe place to walk dogs. I have two female Shitzus and they are very very friendly. I have had puppies, teenage dogs, and seniors. We only care for one families’ dog(s) at a time so they receive the care they deserve. We will send lots of pictures of your dog during our time with us and we will always follow your care instructions.
“Alexandra is awesome. Polite and respectful of our home and has a very caring demeanor. Harley loved the care and attention Alex provided over the weekend visits and we can’t wait to rebook with her. 5 star rating!! Thank you Alexandra!!”

About: Welcome to your friendly neighborhood doggie family! Our passion for animals has reached more than 5 years now, focusing on dogs since we’ve had our baby Mylo. We have skills in newborn puppies up to adult and some senior dogs. Also with different dog diets, medications, grooming, love and care. Basic training is also a skill we’ve been perfecting and growing on everyday! We work from home so we are very attentive and ready to give cuddles at all times! We live in a pet friendly community so our dog walks are very fun! We do walks 3-4 times a day and 2-3 feedings usually unless special attention is needed and always adjust and adapt our routine. We have our doggie section of the house where they rest and enjoy some chill time, at anytime they are free to come join us while we work as we are very lenient and flexible with our time. We also have play times where they can have snacks and toys to enjoy throughout the day so there’s never a dull moment in our days!
“This is my first time using Rover and Tom made it a great experience. He was an excellent communicator and took such good care of my fur baby. Casper seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time with Tom and definitely made a new friend. 😁 I'll definitely be referring to Tom again for any future visits or sitting. I absolutely recommend you do the same!”

“ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)”

About: I am currently available Monday - Friday 6pm-11pm. I have always been around dogs. I have one named Rocco and my parents have two, Chloe and Paco, they are pitties. I am currently available Monday - Friday 6 pm-11pm. I currently have a 12 yr old dog. He is an ESA dog. Hope to hear from you! I cannot board at the moment as I live in an apartment. They do not allow boarding. I can only do drop in visits and dog walking.
About: I have experience with over 10 dog breeds ranging from Chihuahua to a Great Dane. I specialize in working with guards dogs thanks to my pet friends at the farm. Attentive to dog behaviors and specific needs. All dogs are unique and I approach each dog differently. Your pets would be in a safe and nurturing environment. I am a college student. I have plenty of time to play with the pups over weekend. I am also available all evening Mon, Wed, and Fri. I like to spend an hour with the pet first, just to get to know its behavior. My highest priority is the pets' safety and mental security. I want the pet to feel at home. I also have a hobby of teaching dogs a random trick when pet sitting.
Palm Bay dog parents share their Rover experiences
On time, very friendly and very professional. Alex makes our Jax feel very comfortable when we are not at home. It is a great feeling knowing he is being taken care of by someone who cares. We will definitely be asking Alex to take of Jax many more times in the future.

My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.

Sophia was great with Tater our Bulldog. Highly recommended, if you are in need of a pet care/sitter. Sophia was super, she was on time, communicates very well, to include her arrival, her time spent caring for your pet with interactions and her departure. Thank you Sophia
