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.

“We love Savannah!!! When you're a crazy dog mom like I am, finding someone you can trust to take good care of your baby, especially an 80 lb pittie baby, is more than difficult. We're so lucky we found Savannah! Someone that loves dogs as much as she does is most certainly a diamond in the "ruff". As an owner, it's important that my pup is getting walks when I have to work late or have a family emergency. No matter how late notice, Savannah is there, as long as her schedule allows of course. I couldn't be happier with my experience; she goes above and beyond when she doesn't have to. Whether it's taking Leo for a little longer of a walk, to taking him for a visit to quarterdeck, to following my training regimen of giving a treat whenever Leo walks passed a dog to improve socialization, she can be trusted to give Leo an enjoyable time. I'm sure there are many other great walkers on Rover, but Leo and I feel more than fortunate to have the BEST walker. Thank you for all you do, Savannah! Love, Leo and his Human ?”


“Alexander was punctual and communicative for our last minute hour walk for Sal. He was patient in letting Sal feel him out before taking him out. Thank you very much!”


“This was our first experience with Rover and every reservation about seeking care for our pets from someone other than a trusted family/ friend was put at ease by Lauren. She was absolutely wonderful! We needed someone last minute for the Fourth of July week to care for our two dogs and she responded to our request so quickly, excited and willing to care for our boys. She instantly clicked with our dogs and she handled absolutely every obstacle while we were away. Lauren updated us with all the happenings of her drop ins and we loved the videos / pictures of our dogs enjoying theirselves! She absolutely made up for all the love they were missing out on while we were gone. Lauren definitely exceeded our expectations and I am so thankful! If you want someone trustworthy and able to handle all the dog silliness while you have a little get away we highly recommend her!”

About: I am 58 years old and have had pets since I was 5 - I grew up on a farm raising dairy cows, horses, dogs and cats. Most recently, I have dedicated my animal loving skills to the 4H Youth Dog Project, running the Florida State Fair Youth Dog Show for 20 years and training our youth and dogs through day camps, week long camps, and local weekly training. Over the years our house has kept many family friend's pets for weekends or weeks as needed. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter training obedience and manners class for newly adopted pets and owners. Now that our kids are grown, I have decided to work part time as a pet sitter so that you can enjoy your vacation or trip without any worry as to the loving care your family pet(s) will receive. I am self employed working part time from home, so my schedule is flexible, whether sitting for your pet in my home, your home, or just daily care. I have a fenced in side yard at my home for off leash potty time, and a nice neighborhood to walk in for exercise as needed.

James H.
“James himself is a mechanical engineer, he is very reliable and we have found him to be beyond trust worthy. If you are like me leaving your dog(s) with a stranger can be stressful, however after you meet James he will put you at ease, you will know he will treat your pets like his own. James grew up with dogs, he recently rescued a 2 year old PitBull named Luna. James frequently watches our two dogs a 14 year old Bichon and a 2 year old Morkie. The dogs absolutely love having him watch them, he walks and plays with them frequently. He can provide pictures and shot video clips as well so you can see they are in good hands. James is good with any age or size dog. If your dog takes medications and you are concerned, don't be, James can handle that as well, his dog Luna requires medications on daily basis so he is very familiar with the process. Lastly if you are looking to have him stay at your home and keep an eye it as well as your dog(s), you can be sure he will do a great job. James often stays at our home with the dogs for extended periods of time and we have never had an issue. For us it was more peace of mind knowing the dogs would be in their own home and well cared for. Look no further you have found the right person for the job.”
