“Megan is everything you’re looking for in someone to watch your furmily. I needed to book last minute because of a family emergency and was hesitant to use Rover for the first time and have someone enter my home while I was away. I didn’t know how the app worked so much or how the process went with booking someone and giving them instructions on how I would like my 2 doggos watched when I was away. Since I was leaving the next morning, Megan met with me same day and we were able to discuss the booking and do a meet and greet with my dogs. During the time off island I ended up needing to extend my trip and Megan was able to adjust and make sure they were still taken care of. She provided thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, asked questions if needed, and answered any questions I had as well on how they were doing. She took care of my babies like they were her own and I am forever grateful to her for allowing my mind to rest when it came to worrying if my dogs were ok while I was gone. I will keep coming back as long as our schedules permit 🫶”

About: Hi I’m a college student who loves animals and especially dogs. I grew up with dogs and I actually have my own pup named Shelby! She is a gorgeous mixed who I adopted from the pound. We love to spend time playing and training together! It helps keep us both stimulated ☺️. Me and my cat Greyson love to cuddle and he loves to play tag with his sister sometimes! I have been pet sitting since the age 10 and I have dealt with small , big, young and the old dogs. I’m able to make connections with any type of dog. I have dealt with dogs with special diets and needs. I love all dogs equally and would love to get to know your babies each. I do have doggy treats and toys but I would love to have any future friends bring their own. I also have experience working for a doggie day camp named pet paradise where I was taught and trained to understand dog and cat behavior so trust that your furry friends are in the best care! I currently have an open schedule and am home most days so I have complete flexibility to spend time and play with your furry friends! I have a one active friendly dog who loves to play and chase so if you are comfortable she is looking for a play date! I love to go on long walks and trips for treats! For my cats it depends on there comfortable level but for mines we do tons of chase play and cuddles!
“Brooke is the best for providing the care and love to your animals when you can’t be there. She sends notes and pictures of activities and time spent with your pets. Honest and dependable- I would recommend her for anyone that needs long term ( in my case) pet care to give your pets the opportunity to know her. She is loving and knowledgeable- you will know your pets will be taken care of.”

“Madeline was amazing! She was gracious enough to come meet my 2 dogs before sitting them and was so kind and loving with them that I trusted her immediately. She took excellent care of my house and the dogs while we were away. We already have another weekend booked with her!”

“Megan stayed overnight with my two older dogs, one who is very nervous around new people. She was very patient when she met Maggie and it did not take long for her to calm down. The dogs were happy and my home was clean and tidy when I got home. Megan was very professional and I would definitely recommend her!”

“We had to find a dog sitter on very short notice, and she was amazing. She was flexible, communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took great care of our dogs while staying at our home. With everything we had going on, it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Samantha definitely went above and beyond to care for our dogs over the weekend. We never had to worry how they were doing or if they were being taken care of. She was so accommodating. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
About: I've had/ cared for dogs my whole life and used to walk and care for dogs in my old neighborhood. There's no breed too big or small for my taste :) I have been pet sitting for a while and love it I currently have a lot of open availability and I am very flexible with my current schedule. I can always find the time for my furry little friends. I am a high energy person so I'm great at tiring out especially energetic pals to make sure everything is in one piece when you get home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, I have a family dog named Tin-Tin. I also have two bunnies of my own which I’ve raised for 5 years now, and chickens! I’m currently working part time at the moment, I am usually free/available later in the days and free all day on the weekends! I would be able to pet sit at your house, making sure to keep an eye on your furbaby, and catering to their needs. I would ask in advance the do’s and don’t’s and also be respectful of your space.
About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 120 pounds, and love each and every one of them. I also am able to take care of puppies and kittens. The youngest kitten i’ve taken care was orphaned at birth. I am currently a student at Georgia Southern, but I only go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with an 4 hour break in the middle of the day. I am to do just about anything to keep your pet as happy and safe as can be. I can administer medication, take them on walks, play for countless hours, and anything else you could think of.
About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, like most people. However, I have learned to be patient with them yet stern. I used to pet sit all over my neighborhood because they all knew me as the dog whisperer. I take care of their needs while their owners are busy with work or are enjoying a much needed vacation. During the summer I do not work since I am a teacher and I know many families like to go out of town to enjoy their time. That is why I do not mind opening my time and home to other pets so the owners do not have to worry about their pets while they are away. I have a fenced in yard that dogs can run around in. There is even a dog park a mile from my house if the owner wants them to have more freedom. If for some reason, other pets do not get along with my cat, I have plenty of bedrooms and I would rotate the animals being able to roam the house.

About: I’ve grew up with dogs, cats, birds.. you name it. I love all animals! That’s why this app is a perfect side job for me. 😊 (I also have also volunteered at an animal shelter for a bit when I was in high school). When I was younger me and my family raised German Sheppards and I would help out with taking care of them and getting them wormed, bathed, etc. I am currently only doing door dash right now, and occasionally taking care of my grandmother who is battling cancer, so I have a lot of down time! I can follow any special instructions you may have for me about your pet. 😊 I will make sure they are crated if need be, or if they have a special diet, I will make sure they get that!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, I also have trained many puppies and older dogs in different ways! Ask for more information! :) I work during the day although after work and before work I am more than happy to check in on your pet! Even include walks! I care for pets in homes with care as the owner would! Treats, Long Walks, Training on basic tasks, hygiene maintenance and time to relax
About: I babysat my brothers puppies for a while and house sat. They were a Australian shepherd and a husky. My parents have a chihuahua mix that I helped take care of. I currently have a Keeshond that I rescued that lives with my partner. The black dog is the puppy my mom and I took in over the winter break and found her a loving home I am available everyday during the week but not available on weekends. If weekends are needed contact me and I can try to make something work. My apartment has a yard for dogs to wonder and be free. If I find that the dog does not have enough room I will take them to a park 3 minutes from my apartment

About: I help my neighbors walk and bath teaching them tricks. I also puppy train to use the bathroom. I have helped out with food aggressive dog. I do not live in Lakeland Florida I live in Denton Texas. I am a full time dog sitter, I am also a full time mother I just had a newborn about a month ago. Dog walk is my passion I treat everyone like they treat me. Like family. I don't disrespect anyone homes and I would hope they wouldn't disrespect my home too. Thank you
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, whether that being pets growing up or my dad taking me to the farm. I’ve been working at Cindy Lou’s Do’s for 3+ years now and I do weekend boarding every weekend for dogs, cats and even pigs every so blue moon. My compassionate and fun personality will ensure the best care for your pet. I work part time at 2 jobs currently and i’m a college student but im always home and have breaks in between classes and things. my work schedule during the week is either 7am-12pm or 12pm-5pm. On weekends I also do dog boarding and the times I go in to walk and check on the dogs are 8,12 and 5 so most weekends i’m free to stay for boarding as long as i’m able to leave in between. I live in a gated neighborhood with one dog and 3 cats occasionally when the one outside wants to come in. They are all friendly and get along well with other pets. Pets to me are like children and need to be watched at all times and basically coddled, that is no problem for me whatsoever. quite frankly i enjoy it.
