“Heidi was amazing! She came on short notice. Extremely professional and took great pictures and videos. Would trust her again with our animals and would highly recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Malia has been absolutely amazing. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she’s looking after. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I always felt confident knowing Bubbles was in good hands. She pays attention to the little details, follows instructions well, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Billie is absolutely amazing! It was so comforting knowing that Billie would be there for them when I was unable to. Billie always sent photos and videos of her visits and ALL of my babies looked happy and loved! Billie definitely goes the extra mile, not only for my babies but to bring peace of mind to myself!! I will definitely call on her any time I need assistance!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was young, watching all the pets in my neighborhood starting at 10 years old. I have over 100 volunteer hours at vet rescue clinic. I have 1 senior dog that I understand the care that comes along with that and the need of wanting to leave them in good hands when you aren’t home. I also have another younger high energy dog that comes with the need of many walks, paddleboard rides, and playtime to get all their energy out. Big dogs are not a problem as also I grew up with a mastiff. I am currently a university student, so I have plenty of free time when I am not in class. Most of my free time is in the afternoon or weekends. Just message me what works best for you and I am sure I will have time to accommodate that. When caring for your animals at your home I will treat them as they are my own pets. I want to be sure to match their routine so they will be comfortable at all times. Fresh water will always be available, along with tons of love and affection. I will be sure to keep you update as well with photos and text messages so you know your dog is happy while you are not there. My goal is to provide not just basic care, but exceptional care making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved until you return home.
About: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, along with 8 years of dedicated pet sitting. I currently work at a dog park and dog daycare, where I supervise group play, handle different temperaments, and ensure a safe, structured environment. I’ve cared for everything from extra large breeds to small dogs, including puppies and seniors. I also have experience with rehomed dogs and understand they may need extra patience and consistency. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training, and maintaining routines to keep dogs happy and well-balanced. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently work part-time at a dog park and dog daycare, where I spend my time caring for and supervising dogs of all sizes and energy levels. This has made me very comfortable with structured schedules, feeding times, walks, and consistent care. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet sitting, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays when needed. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and routine they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to behavior and surroundings, making sure pets are always secure on walks, properly supervised, and never put in unsafe situations. With my experience working at a dog park and dog daycare, I’m confident in reading body language and handling different temperaments calmly and safely. I treat every home with respect—keeping things clean, organized, and just as you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've had pets in the past and I have been a pet sitter for a friend multiple times when she went on vacation. I cared for her two dogs which included: walking them everyday, potty breaks as needed, feeding, administering meds, and showered them with love. I am an educator. During the summer I have more availability to care for your fur baby. During the school year, I will be available on most weekends/evenings and during breaks, I will be more available. I have had pets in the past and am currently seeking a small dog for myself. I will provide attention, go for walks, feeding/water, provide meds when needed, and lots of love.
“Katie was punctual and professional in walking our Maxie Pie and we are grateful to her for our not having to worry about Max’s potty breaks. Many thanks Katie. We’ll call on you again.”
About: Hey I’m Camila! One that set apart from other siters is that I grew up on farm rising animals so taking care of animals have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Being around different types of animals made me comfortable with all types of pet personalities and temperatures. After moving to Florida I started volunteering at the humane society where I got in depth training on cats and dogs behavior and how to properly handle and care for them. Well right in college so I don’t have a set schedule or a job so I’m basically home all day except for Wednesdays and Thursdays that because I have class in the afternoon. I care for any animals as if they were my own by making sure there happy, comfortable and loved. I followed all instructions to a T because I understand the importance of why the instructions are there in the first place and how important routines are to pets!
About: I believe they will see that I will care for their dogs as I do my own. My boy "Jax" in the picture, he took his last run on 12-17-2023. Miss him dearly. RIP My angel! I grew up with Poms and went on to the large breeds once I was on my own. Germans shepherds, Newfoundland, English Mastiffs, Afghan Hound and a Great Dane. I am a dog and animal lover PERIOD. I really should have been a vet, vet tech or maybe even a zoologist! But I'm happy just to spend time with the dogs. I have house broken and trained all my dogs personally to basic commands and even some tricks. Some dogs are verbal and some are visual. Not all dogs are the same! That's why I LOVE them SO much!! ~ Reba I own a small Swimming Pool Service Company and have for 20 years. I no longer work in the field I occasionally go troubleshooting jobs or meet with new clients. So I'm semi-retired and home quite a bit I don't really go much of anywhere. I have a fenced-in yard, bordered by bamboo and lots of sniffing/hunting areas. However, they are never left unattended. I'm always outside with them. There is also a pool for the swimmers and a grassy area for just for playing.
About: Hey everyone! My name is Kelsey and I live in Stuart, I have been dog sitting for the past 4 years now with Rover. I've had dogs since I was a kid, sat for others and fostered for a few weeks as well. I have experience with all age ranges of dogs, including giving medications to senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra care. Looking forward to gaining regular or one time clients! For boarding in my home, I do have a small Jack Russell Terrier named Snickers, he is a very sweet boy but would need to be introduced to your pet prior to a booking. I work part-time at a golf course, shifts are typically 6-8 hours and out early. I work 3-4 shifts a week, aside from that I'll be home with your pet or available for morning/evening drop ins! I do prefer to meet the dog and owner prior to first drop in or walk just to get a better feel for what the dog will require.

About: There’s nothing a little of my love and patience can’t handle. Everyone’s pets are different and have different needs. Maybe you have an escape artist, your pups love to talk, or perhaps you are still potty training. If your pet has special needs, I’m here for you! If you are a new pet owner, I’m here for you! I have experience with luxury property management, farm sitting, pet sitting, and green cleaning. I always send pictures so you can see how your buddies are getting along and receive timely updates on how our day/night is going. I consider your pets, property, and neighborly relations my first priority. I love animals more than I can say. I’ve been dog sitting for 13 years, but just set up my profile on Rover. I have my own dog, Booker, and I watch your pets to fund his pricey allergy medication! I love talking with pawrents about their experiences, funny stories, and products they love! I get along with all animal lovers. One thing always remains the same when I’m with your pets, lots of love and tender care. Needless to say, there is nothing more rewarding than gaining the trust and affection of a pet in such a short amount of time. I‘m happy to accommodate you this season. I have a very flexible remote work schedule. I’m here for your timing and needs, but prefer not to be in traffic at rush hour. I can care for pets in your home and I am not at all concerned about how clean your house is. I am just there to watch your pets!
About: I can provide daily walks and also stay in your home if needed. Please reach out with any questions. It's important to find the right person to care for your dogs.

Rio dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tiffany was wonderful with our fur baby! She was very accommodating, punctual, and our dog loved her. She kept us posted on their walks. How far they walked, where they walked, and what he accomplished. She also sent a picture of the dog at the end of the walks. We would highly recommend Tiffany, and will be requesting her to take care of our dog in the future!
