House Sitting Palmetto Bay

“I would definitely recommend Kaitlyn to anyone! She was a great dog sitter and did very well with Charlie. She has a natural, gentle way with dogs. She was prompt, personable and professional. I would absolutely hire her again and so should you! !”

“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”

“Great girl- she made me feel very comfortable and was very personable. She stayed at our home with our dog and sent pictures and videos of our girl. Alize was flexible too as we had a flight delay and she covered some additional unexpected hours. Will be using her routinely. Thanks, Alize!”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.

About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!

About: I have been around dogs all my life, have two of my own Vizslas, so I know the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I've also dog-sat for other families through the Nextdoor app (including overnight dog sitting) on top of my own dogs. I treat every dog like they are mine and always put their safety, comfort and routine first. Reliable, communicative and dedicated to making pets and their owners comfortable. My summer schedule is very flexible and I am available most weekdays between 8:00 and 5:00. I can also do weekend morning visits and evening visits/overnights with 24 hour notice. I will be heading off to college this fall and am excited to spend this summer providing your pets with reliable consistent care! I always put the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine first. There is plenty of room for pets to stretch out and play in my home, including a fully fenced yard for outdoor time when supervised. I ensure they have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I really follow instructions carefully when caring for pets in a client’s home. This helps keep them on their regular routine and keeps them feeling safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I also keep owners in the loop with regular updates and photos so they can relax while they are away.

“Karla was absolutely wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last-minute house-sitting request, which I truly appreciated. My pup wasn’t feeling well at the time, and Karla went above and beyond—carefully administering medication and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. I came home to happy, healthy pups and a well-kept home, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Karla to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter!”

About: I have been around animals all my life. I grew up in a home where animals are treated like family. You have to show them TLC. I currently have five dogs and five cats at home. The majority of them are rescues. I have rescued many animals and foster them until i find a home for them. I am great with any animal and know how to take care of them in any certain situation. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from the owner. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their environment clean and reducing stress during their owner's absence.

“Adriana was amazing. I found her at the last minute when the person I had to take care of my new rescued kitten bailed on me. Without hesitation, she was there to assist me and was very understanding about my nerves of leaving my 4 week kitten with a total stranger. She messaged me about my kitten and sent pictures so that I could be at ease. I unfortunately had to extend a day and without hesitation again, she was willing and able to do Rap for me. I could tell that she truly loved my kitten and took good care of her. At the return of my kitten I even got a surprise painting of her which I thought was super sweet. I would definitely recommend Adriana and when I need another sitter for my fur baby, I will definitely rebook with her. You can definitely tell that Adriana is a person that loves animals. Thank you Adriana fur being there and easing my nerves.”

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life and have a genuine love for all pets. While growing up in Peru, I rescued numerous abandoned dogs and cats, helping them recover by providing care, food, and lots of affection until they regained their health. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and paying close attention to the individual needs of each animal. Since moving to the United States, I have cared for two dogs and one cat, providing them with a life filled with love, comfort, and attention. My most recent dog had a disability and required daily medication, a special diet, and additional care. Through this experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, administering medications properly, and being attentive to any special needs a pet may have. I strive to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, caring, and highly observant of their physical and emotional needs. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, ensuring that they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, and daily routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and happy.

“Sloan is great! We feel lucky to have found her to take care of our two pups. Looking forward to booking again. Thanks again Sloan for your extra care this week. We all appreciate you!”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I understand that my client's pet is very precious. I am a responsible, attentive carer. I believe in making your pet's environmental change as comfortable, fun, safe, nurturing and active as possible. I take in/care for pets of most sizes and ages, and I don't like to have more than I owner's pets at a time, to ensure that things run safely and smoothly. I am flexible, accommodating, and I work from home, so I'm able to give your pet loads of attention. I have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue groups. Some of these dogs were special needs cases in terms of medical needs and anxiety issues. I have a safe, large enough garden. I can do pick up, drop off, overnight, daycare, walking, baths and special trips as required. I am available most holidays and weekends and in the week. I have a jack-russel/chihuahua mix of my own under 1 year who gets on well with other dogs. I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to play with and give loving attention to your pup's needs, including walks and play time. I have a fenced yard and plenty space to run around. The dogs will have regular inside and outside time. Walks are regular and as long and often as you choose. We are home to play and have loads of fun too. Your pet will feel loads of love and attention in this happy, friendly and fun environment.

“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”

“Mia was a phenomenal sitter for my two pups! We recently moved from Dallas to Miami, and I was nervous to leave them, but Mia was quick to step in and love on them. She sent photos and/or videos every day while I was away, which put my heart at ease. By the time I returned home, they were great friends! I will absolutely be partnering with Mia again!”

“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”

About: I have grown up walking dogs and have 2 cats at home. I love cats, dogs, and long walks. I know when they are hungry or thirsty, or when it is time to go to the bathroom. I don't mind cleaning up messes and will take responsibility for any accidents that the animal made. I am a college student at UF currently home for summer break. I am looking to work and will be available as much as I can. As a home sitter, I am respectful and will make sure to follow the rules and boundaries placed by the owner. You can tell me anything and I will make sure to listen and act accordingly.

“Natalia was a wonderful Dogsitter for our Boston Terrier! She arranged a meet and greet first and immediately asked all the right questions and we felt comfortable. She stayed in our home for 3 nights and we came home to a happy dog! We will definitely be using her again!”
