“Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Jessica was awesome and very reliable. She followed every instruction we left and never really needed extra guidance (which we wouldn’t have minded) but it was nice to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you so much again, will definitely use you again for any future trips.”
“Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.”
“Ashlei was great! She cared for our cat as much as she could for a full week. She didn't know she was up against the hide and seek champion. Still, professional and nice, she also cared for our fish. She was easy to work with and made sure to understand our needs and our cats'. Thank you! 🫶”
“We had another perfect experience with Kristen! This is the second time Kristen has taken care of our kitty, and we’re so happy we found her because she makes it so easy and worry-free. She is always reliable, communicative, and so considerate!”
“Sophia goes above and beyond in her caregiving! We were traveling to Disney for a few days and needed someone to care for our sweet senior dog Rosie. She is basically our baby and Sophia did absolutely everything we asked, plus more. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Rosie!”
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.
“Madison was great!!! I had a last second flight and she was very flexible for my needs. I’m guessing she was great to my dog because he’s 21 years old and still bouncing around as usual.”
“Haley was trustworthy, thorough, sweet, attentive and loving to my cats, timely and always kept in contact with me. I have already told her I would like to reserve her for a couple more trips. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Brian is the absolute best sitter on Rover! My doggies adore him and are always smiling and very well-fed each visit. He always updates me with messages and photos of my babies and is very responsive and attentive to their needs. Whenever I have to travel now, I have to first make sure that Brian is available to take care of my babies before making any reservations! He is a very flexible and responsible sitter and I’m always at ease whenever my doggies are eating and playing with Brian. Many thanks as always Brian and I’m sure my doggies are looking forward to seeing you again!”
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my babies. It brings such peace of mind knowing that my babies are being cared for so well while I am at work. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is SJ! I always wanted to find someone reliable, kind, gentle and understanding to watch my own girls when I needed to go out of town. So I decided to be that for others who may also need a lil help in the puppy department. Trusting someone with your fur babies is one of the hardest things... Let me help take that stress off of your shoulders. Leave a detailed message on how to care for your fur baby and I got you! I treat every animal as if it were a human. Dogs especially always find their way to me 😂 I'm basically Ms. Rachel , but for dogs 🤣 I can be available for drop in visits, or some in-home sitting, let me know what you need. No worries! For some reason my rates are all over the place on this app and there's no way for me to update them I keep it easy and the same for everyone. 20 per visit +10 for additional pets. Example: 1 dog + 3 visits = 60. 2 dogs + 3 visits = 90. Message me or text to book I'm a stay-at-home dog mom. I occasionally play music around Brevard county on weekends so I have plenty of extra time. My girls are set in their daily routines. I come and go throughout the day. I have a semi fenced yard (the rest is a natural barrier) our girls stay in the garden and don't ever leave the premises. It's a garden/dog park in our backyard. In your home, I would just need very clear directions on what your expectation is and I can follow that guideline with no problem :) My time is spent with your pet playing, feeding, walking, or just being there for some human interaction. I can clean up anything while I'm there for you. Just think of me as your assistant. Let me know what I can do to make your pet/day a little easier.

“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with 3 pups of my own who are back home in Philadelphia while I’m in medical school! My roommate of 4 years had a senior cat of her own, so I am well versed in the needs of both cats and dogs. :) I’m currently in medical school, so my days and nights are flexible! Dropping in on some furry friends or spending the night with them is something I’d love to be able to do when not studying :) I’ll treat your pets like my own! They’ll get all the hugs, kisses, and snuggles - whatever they need. Safety is my priority and they will be treated like family.

“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order!

This is the second time Alexandra has sit for Valentina! She is absolutely amazing! Responsible, reliable super sweet with our kitty. She asks questions and directions to provide the best care. She provides updates with pictures and keep communication open. We are very satisfied and grateful and feel comfortable and trust Valentina to her care while we are away. We hope we can always count with her services again 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.
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!)
