“Ruth did an incredible job, she watched our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks and she gave us peace of mind the entire trip! She sent lots of pictures for each visit, and really spent her time hanging out with our cats☺️ She took care of everything we asked and was so communicative the entire time. Would highly recommend to watch your fur babies!”

“Karli was a God send! She came over to met Melo before beginning services. She was at my home at the agreed upon times and stayed with him for the duration allotted. Karli provided updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again!”

“Alivia is beyond amazing! This was my first time having to leave the dogs alone overnight and she did such a great job of walking them, being there with them sending pics l, feeding them and most of I’ll giving me a piece of mind that they were ok. Thank you Alivia”

“Thank you SO much! We appreciate you!! She had an accident right before we left, I just wiped it up because we had to leave. 🥹 I think she had too many treats yesterday... we will call when we need you again if you two got along, looks like you did! 🥰”

“Christa is amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took wonderful care of our babies. We had a bad experience with local boarding, and wanted our kids to stay in the comfort of our home. Lots of treats and love around here. Our pets are old, so they do need special attention. Christa gave them that. Thank you so much!”

“Sami took care of everything I asked, sent great update pictures, and made sure to reach out to me to make sure we were on the same page about pet care needs for my cat. Would highly recommend Sami’s pet care services. Thank you!”

“Alexandria went above and beyond to check in, feed water, walk and clean up after my two dogs. I will definite will be try to use her again in the future whenever I can.”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid and still love to help out friends, family and neighbors when available and when needed. I currently work a standard 9-5 on weekdays so I’m available outside those hours during the week. I am also available most weekends! I’ll try to be as flexible as I can to fit into your routine! I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I walk my dog on a small loop but can take yours further for more exercise if needed.
“Heather has been a phenomenal caretaker. Going above and beyond to take care of my cat and even check in on my other pets despite it not being a requirement. From the moment of our meet and greet, Heather has asked questions so she could ensure my pets were at their at-most comfortability while we were away. She gave thorough reports and photos so we were always aware of how our pets were doing and anything abnormal she encountered. I feel good knowing that anytime I need to go out of town in the future, I can look to Heather to take care of my animals.”

“Sharon was excellent with our 5 month old golden retriever!! She followed all instructions I provided, and I could tell how happy our puppy was to spend time with her! Highly recommend Sharon!”

About: I have experience with many different types of pets like dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, bunnies, pigs & ferrets (just to name a few). I’ve had dogs my entire life and have two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare creating an understanding of dog behaviors. I strive to make every experience as comfortable and enjoyable for your fur babies! I have met so many dogs with different temperaments and needs to create a positive experience while in my care. I volunteer with the local shelter and take out foster dogs all the time and I love advocating for them too! I am so passionate about animal welfare and ensuring pet parents have someone they can trust to take care of their precious babies. I am currently a full time college student with full weekend availability but Monday-Thursday I am usually out of the house during the day 7-4:30 while Fridays I have a half day of classes, if this something that is okay with you. I will do my best to fit your needs. Please send me a message and we can work something out! I am a very patient person with animals and able to understand their body language to adjust based on their specific needs. I would love to keep your baby company with some hugs and kisses or respect their space in the same room! I have experience working with lots of different kinds of temperaments and can adjust my care based on makes you and your fur baby the most comfortable!
About: I've taken care of many dogs since I was young, and I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. I am very used to their quirkiness and different behaviors! I am very willing to work with many types of dogs regardless of breed, as I absolutely adore doggos! I am patient and caring, and open to slow introductions in case pets are skiddish or timid. Overall, I absolutely love being around dogs/puppies, and I am able to work with anybody! I am currently an employed college student on summer break, but I’d love to make time on the weekends or weekday evenings to walk your dogs! Because of how hot Florida can get, I’d be comfortable walking your dogs in the morning (6:30-10:00 am) or in the evening (5:00-8:30 pm) when it is still somewhat cool (I don’t want to risk your dog overheating). I will dedicate as much time as I can to take care of your animals. I can definitely make time for walks or drop-ins if needed, so there should be no issues with scheduling! I will make my schedule well-known to anybody who books with me! At my client's home, I will do anything they ask of me regarding their dog. I can crate, play with, and watch them closely if needed! I will be very attending towards your animal(s). While walking your dogs, I will make sure they don't overheat and walk a good amount. Regarding drop-in visits, I can make them as short or long as wanted! It can be a quick visit, or I can stay for a while to make sure they eat and play!
“Rebekah took great care of our two babies, Butters and Kramer. She provided constant updates for each of them individually and sent photos of both so I would know they are happy :)”

About: Growing up in a home full of animals and with my parents being veterinarians, I truly believe that our pets are not just pets, they are family. You can rest assured that with my experience caring for my own family's pets, shadowing at my parents' vet practice on my pre-vet path, and with my master's degree in animal behavior your four-legged family will be safe and comfortable under my care. I am currently in between work after finishing graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible to give your pets the care and attention they need. It’s easy to worry about our pets when they’re out of our sight. Under my care, you can rest easy knowing that with my knowledge of animal health and behavior from my education and shadowing experience at a veterinary practice, I keep a keen eye out for any health or behavioral issues which may be affecting the comfort of your pets.

“Jen was an excellent sitter for our two cats! She went above and beyond to care for them while we were away. We requested her help last-minute and she was happy to step in, which was such a relief. She gave us thorough updates daily and sent us lots of photos so we could feel connected. Highly recommend her services. Thank you, Jen!”

“Aimee watched our two kitties over Christmas break and she did an AMAZING job!! She was very flexible with her availability, she made sure our babies were loved and taken care of (and sent LOTS of photos), and she made sure everything was clean, refilled, and ready to go when we came home. 10/10 recommend!!”


“Hailey is reliable and professional and took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. Would highly recommend Hailey to take care of your pets!”

Park Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Deborah was absolutely fantastic! My cat is a new rescue and is incredibly shy and wary of people but Deborah took exceptional care of her and it was such a delight to hear about how my cat was coming out of her shell more and more! I was nervous about leaving as this is my first time being a cat mom but Deborah answered all of my questions and always communicated brilliantly. It was so lovey to be able to see photos everyday and get updates on how my cat was eating and getting on. I would highly recommend Deborah and will definitely be using her again for any future travel!

Karli was great with my pup, Beaudie! She provided updates and pictures at every check-in, which made me feel so comfortable being away from him. Beaudie looked like he had the best time with her and was very well cared for. I would highly recommend Karli to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies!

Grateful to have Mary as our sitter. This was our first time leaving our cat home, and we didn’t know what to expect. During our meet and greet, I can already tell that our baby will be in good hands, which put our anxious minds at ease. Our cat loved her and was always happy to see her. Highly recommend.

We will 100% be booking Amber in the future! She was extremely professional, left such detailed feedback, and was quick to respond to every message. She also had no issue administering oral or injectable medication. Thank you for taking such great care of our senior cats!💕

We really enjoyed having her watch our two dogs and elderly cat while we went out of town for Christmas. I was so nervous leaving my sick cat but she took great care of her and sent lots of pictures. She went above and beyond with our dogs and took them out on walks! We were very grateful for her help and will definitely choose her again!!
