“Montana was awesome with my dogs! I have one pup who is a little shy and she actually got her to come out of the kennel. I definitely recommend her for taking care of your puppers!”


“Brittany is excellent with our energetic cat and dog. She has a true passion for caring for animals and a calm demeanor. She is very in tune with each individual pet and treat them like her own. We are happy to have found a reliable sitter to do drop in visits.. Thank you Brittany!”


“This is mine & my husband’s first time using rover & Jennifer was so great to our London. London is a sweet girl & she gets very nervous when her family leaves her but she soon warmed up to Jennifer. She was so great, she sent pictures, videos & updates on how London was doing & showed that they played together. Highly recommend!”


About: I spend my free time volunteering at a local dog rescue. I am a born & raised Midwesterner who is a true "Dog Mom." I am a retired teacher who has lived in SW Florida for four years now. I have embraced the Florida lifestyle even taking my dog out in a "doggy stroller!" I have been trusted to watch and care for friends' dogs and cats for days at a time or even weeks while they've gone on vacation. I love their pets like my own. I am picky about who watches my own dog, so I would like any pet owner to know that their little furball is in good hands while they're away. I work part-time so I have flexibility during the week. I am also available on weekends. I'm willing to discuss any specific time needs with pet owners as well. I am a self-described "early bird" which allows me to walk dogs when the weather is cooler. My dogs have always had full run of the house except when I'm away and then they are put into a crate (mostly for their own protection so they're not eating or chewing on items they shouldn't!) or trying to jump on or off furniture. My dogs have always been treated extremely well. When I wake up early in the morning, my dog goes out first thing, gets a treat, then gets fed breakfast. We usually do a small walk. I take into account the age and wellness of the dog. I had an elderly dog who used to walk two miles every day, but then he slowed down a lot, so I adjusted his walk distances. I also adjust to the Florida heat! No walks during the hottest hours! I like to get out early and walk. Speaking of walking or playing - my favorite motto is: A tired dog is a happy dog!

“First time using rover and of course I was so nervous but omg Brittany was amazing! She cared for our fur babies so well. She kept me updated and sent me pictures. She was so flexible easy to work with. You’re in great hands with Brittany.”


“Ash was fantastic! She was so great at our meet n greet and I just knew she would be perfect for our dog Tucker! She was punctual and very communicative. She even asked for our dog brush to give Tucker a little extra love. Will definitely use Ash again!! So happy we found her!”


About: Over the past 4 years, I’ve helped take care of a family member’s dog (golden retriever) which included house sitting, daily walks, playing fetch, vet visits and grooming appointments. I recently retired and have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for a flexible, part-time opportunity where I can enjoys walks with a buddy and cuddles from a fur-baby. I would care for pets in your home as I have 3 cats in my home. My focus would be on your special pets and ensuring I follow your requests for caring for them.


“Shelley was incredibly helpful and took excellent care of our furry family members. She was very easy to get a hold of and responsive to messages and coordination. I would recommend her to anyone”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a baby. My family has always had a dog in the home. We have had a Boarder Collie, German Shepherds, Labs and mixed pups. I have always been very loving with my pets and have always trained them to not be loud except in dangerous situations. I love to just spend time, walk, and play catch with dogs. Right now we are super busy with sports and school but I stay at home so I’m available most of the time. I am available during the weekends and will be able to have a dog at our home or can come to your home. Whatever makes your dog happiest! I have a huge fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around and play. I do spray for bugs and ants so that isn’t an issue. I do have lizards that our puppies love to chase. I do have a pond in our backyard but we have a fence. The dogs like to watch the birds and bunnies. I do pick up doggy duties right after so don’t worry about your buddy trying to eat others. I know some dogs do that. YUCK! I do have older children that love all pets, however I will always be 100% responsible your pets.

“Rachael did well with my shy Lilikoi. She came out and didn't hide the entire time I was gone which she has been known to do. She looked more comfortable during her times alone between visits, playing and zooming around when normally she just pouts under the bed that I am gone.”


“Tom is my hero! He came in last minute and took care of everything perfectly. His communication is great, he is so friendly to my cats, and he is just an awesome person. Thank you Tom!!”
