About: I have had dogs growing up my whole life and always baby sit neighbors, friends, family, dogs. I don’t own a dog myself so your dog will get all my love and attention while i babysit them! i work from home so you’re pet will never be alone. they will always get attention and walks throughout the day (or a bunch of naps if they want) i like to use the phrase “mi casa es to casa”. dogs are allowed on all furniture and will not be permitted to a certain area. as long as they’re well behaved and potty trained they can roam as they please :)

We had a wonderful experience with our house and pet sitter from Papi House by Sat by Rose. From the beginning, communication was great and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our home and dog in her care. Our pet was well loved, happy, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. The house was also kept clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of so well. We would absolutely trust Rose again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Isabel was an absolute delight! I was a little nervous booking with someone new, but the moment she came over to meet our dogs, I felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention—when we got home, they were relaxed and happy, so I knew they’d been well cared for. She will be my first call the next time I need someone to watch my boys.

I’m experienced with administering medications, senior dogs, puppies, anxiety-prone pups, and following detailed routines for feeding, walks, and special needs. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to match their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I tailor my care to fit them.

We were so pleased with our first Rover experience. Daniela and Mari stayed at our house for a week to take care of our Daisy May. They were excellent and so loving to Daisy. Being nervous pet parents, leaving our dog for the first time, they gave us constant updates which showed Daisy was in great hands. We cannot wait to use them again and would absolutely recommend. Thank you!!

Larissa was able to help us out after our coverage for our fur kiddos fell through and we definitely intend to book with her again! Larissa is so kind and caring. Both my kiddos loved her as soon as they met her and that’s actually rare for my cat! Larissa provided several updates daily and adhered to the instructions we left for her. She left our home spotless! She even left a sweet thank you note with Polaroids of our kiddos inside. Normally when we get home, our kiddos tend to be skittish after having someone else stay with them but my girls were so at ease and happy. Thank you for loving on Riley and Sierra as if they were your own!

About: I have had dogs as pets my entire life. In high school, I began pet sitting for my neighbors and friends. After an accident, one of my dogs became paralyzed; I learned how to care for dogs with all types of needs. I am currently a college student at the University of Florida who is back home for summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will be able to care for your pet however you desire. Whether this be playing with a dog outside or ensuring they are in their crate, your need will be met.

Ariela is Fantastic - took great care of my dogs! I have a mean 15 yo chihuahua/jerk mix and a delightful 6 yo shih tzu. Both get medicine and it’s nerve wracking finding someone when you are new in town. She was able to dose and feed them everyday, sent me a lot of photos, and checked in repeatedly. Her care and competency allowed me to leave with confidence and to enjoy my trip without worrying. She did great with my challenging dog, which was such a win. Ariela also cleaned up as she left, cleaning stuff and stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the laundry.Thoughtful person - Highly recommend!

Fabi’s communication and attention to detail is top tier as her previous work experience has given her the proper tools to provide excellent service. Fabi also left my house in order and gifted me a beautiful picture of Xena and treats, which meant the world to me. There is no doubt that I will rebook Fabi again in the future.

Deniro was great from start to finish. During our meet and greet, he had a nice, positive energy, and I could tell right away he was a responsible young man. My dog can be a bit of a handful, she’s injured, full of energy, can’t go on walks, and doesn’t like being alone. She also needs daily medication. Deniro managed all of that beautifully. His communication was excellent, and he sent me thoughtful updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I never had a single concern while I was away. I highly recommend him and would absolutely have him watch my dog again!
