“Destiny was absolutely fantastic and took great care of my doggie and even my ferret for 7 whole days! She was consistently in contact with me and went above and beyond while also meeting my unique circumstances with doing house showings while trying to sell my house. Definitely book with her, she’s the best!!”



“We used Monica for a 5 night 6 day house sitting for Buco and she was beyond great!! We had to find a sitter last minute and Monica was great at meeting us promptly for meet and greets. She updated us daily with pics and our boy always looked happy and comfortable. When we arrived home from the week she had left the house better than when we left it. Buco was happy to see us. I feel Monica treated our baby like one of her own and that relaxed both us and Buco. We will definitely be recommending and using Monica's services again very soon!!!”


“Jessalyn is amazing! She worked with us when we needed to extend our trip and went above and beyond with our apartment and our dog. Beanie was so calm and content when we got back!! Thank you!!!”


“Sheila did a great job taking care of my dog! She did two meet and greats to ensure my dog was familiar with her. She walked him multiple times per day. She sent me several pictures and updates during her stay. The house was left clean. We will use Sheila again in the future.”



“Lux was an amazing house and pet sitter for us!!! He sent photos and updates every day and knowing he was in our home put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely ask him to stay here again in the future.”


About: My name is Kristen and I am 35 years old. I would like to offer to you my dog services to you, which would include watching your dog, walking, running, feeding and making sure they have plenty of exercise!! I have a true love for animals and love working with them. I have much experience with different breeds of dogs and would like to meet your friend!! I also will offer pick up and drop off to better serve you. About this sitter: I love working with people and their pets!! I am able to walk, run, and play with your dogs whenever you need me! I care for pets by greeting them and playing with them, taking them on runs or walks, giving them extra affection and attention and treats!

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean could not have been more professional. He was highly communicative, sent pictures, and took care of my pets and my home in a very respectful way. Will definitely book him again.”


“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always ended up having dogs that are in some cases special needs. I truly love to be around animals because their happiness is so pure. I am a nurse by day and an animal cuddler by night. I am able to give medication’s. I work on basic commands. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior. If there is something specific that needs to be taken care of while taking care of your loved one, I will definitely work something out. I am currently taking a vacation between my travel contract for nursing and will be available throughout the day. If there is a specific time or day that works best for you, I will try to make it as easy on you as possible. I typically will have the animal on a leash if there is not a fenced in backyard. Of course, depending on the situation I will allow the owner to guide me on how they prefer to have the animal leashed and will take the precautions necessary to keep them safe.

“Skye was amazing! This was my first time using this app so I was not sure what to expect. Skye preceded all my expectations! She took care of my pups like they were her own. She gave one their meds on time every day. She walked them. She played with them. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos to let me know they were well cared for and enjoying their time!! We will definitely be using her again!”


“Annabeth is amazing! She watched 4 of our pets while we were gone on vacation to St. Augustine. She sent pictures of the pets and had great communication skills. She was very polite and gave us great feedback when we asked about how the stay was because this was our first time using Rover. We have already offered her a 2nd job for the winter if she is available because she did so great. This is the person that you want watching your pets! She put us at ease and we felt that our pets and house were in good hands.”


“Just about the most perfect and amazing experience I could have asked for! My husband and I needed a sitter last minute because ours didn't work out and my cat had just had major eye surgery so I was very nervous leaving him - plus my little Yorkie is not exactly friendly to everyone :-) But it shouldn't have worried my doggie ended up sleeping with Anna and my cat was very very happy and safe. There's nothing like the feeling of being able to trust your house / pet sitter so that you can actually relax on vacation. Thank you 1000 times Anna!”


About: As a dog-momma to two pups, I know how frustrating and scary it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your dog while you're away. There's peace of mind in knowing that your dog is at home, in familiar surroundings, and being well taken care off. I'm happy to provide drop-in visits for your pups, making sure they get all the belly-rubs they need until you get back! I also provide daily walks, so your pups have time to get oustide, explore, and use up some excess energy! I am experienced with puppies and large-breed dogs, and am available routinely during the early mornings and evenings on weekdays, and all-day on weekends. Daytime weekday availability is flexible, but needs to be scheduled in advance. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life. I take care of dogs while working a full-time job, and I regularly adjust my daily schedule around the needs of my pets. Whether it's early morning walks, feeding times, or play sessions, I make sure their care is a priority and naturally integrated into my routine. I willll take care of pets in the comfort of your home by following your instructions closely, maintaining their routine, and providing love and attention.

“Dog mom to dog mom or dad , Hanna put my mind at ease while away on vacation. She was super accommodating to our three dogs having free roam of the yard with no fence . She sent updates and pictures . I didn’t have to stress about the pups i knew they were in great hands.”


“Catherine was fantastic. She came over and met Capone twice, before staying with him. She took great care of Capone and was respectful of our home. Highly recommend her and I will definitely be using her again, when I need someone”


About: I fall in love with every pet! Discovering and suiting different characters and needs of pets brings me joy and satisfaction. I improve my skills every day. Petting and playful time are as important to me as checking on pets health. Making sure that pets and their home are safe and in good condition is a must. I always make notes to have complete information about all pets and their surroundings. I have experiences with different dog breeds from Chihuahua to Great Dane, ages from puppies to very old dogs, health issues as blindness, deafness or limited motion and other problems as intolerance or fearfulness. I also love taking care of cats and enjoy every minute of playing with them and rubbing their smooth fur.

“We highly recommend Jitka! Our dog loves her and it gives us peace of mind to know that he is in caring hands. We have an elderly dog who has gotten a bit frail and Jitka gives him lots of TLC. We always get a little note about the visit. Jitka is reliable, a great communicator, and so sweet to our furbaby. We are happy to have found her!”
