About: I have taken care of multiple animals the past 40 years. I have a passion for dogs and cats. They are such amazing creatures. Will love them like they are my own! Your animal will be cared for quite frequently. I do work full time, but my husband does not. Allowing for multiple potty breaks and snuggle time during the day and night. Pets will be cared for like they are my OWN. I have a passion for animals and quite honestly enjoy having multiple pets in the house at any given time frame.
“So glad we found Julia! She and Patrick are so kind, and from the moment our dog met them, he was 100% comfortable! It was reassuring to know he was in good hands and well cared for while we were away.”
“Jackie was in time for our meet and greet, was attentive to what I was telling her were the needs of my fur baby and she seemed to love my girl and want to get to know her right off the bat. She was also willing to work with my scheduling needs which is very important to me. I booked a full week of walks with her with plans to continue on in the future. I’m looking forward to working with Jackie.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
About: I have grown up with 3 dogs at a time, basically my whole life. I now have a 3-year-old golden retriever that I love dearly, and I would love to assist with any of your needs to keep your doggo happy, loved, and cared for as you are away! You can count on me for frequent and direct communication alongside Video/FaceTime updates! I am currently working part-time, so specific time slots during the week will absolutely work; weekends are often very open for any needs you may have. I prioritize safety, predictability, and a calm environment! In clients’ homes, I follow instructions exactly—feeding, walks, medications, and house rules are not improvised. Doors, gates, and leashes are double-checked, and pets are never rushed or forced into situations that make them uncomfortable. I maintain clear and proactive communication, sending regular updates and photos to ensure owners know their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for. My goal is simple: low stress for the pet, high confidence for the owner.
About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes by supervising play, walking, and bathing them! I’ve also been dog walking and pet sitting for the past 5 years. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, and I focus on keeping every pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I stand out for my reliability, attention to detail, and the extra effort I put into learning each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also live an active lifestyle, so I enjoy staying active with dogs through regular walks and exercise, making it easy to keep them happy, engaged, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s routine, whether in my home or my client’s. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.
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! 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: Owned and taken care of animals since I was little. Cats, dogs, other mammals/reptiles. Great with dogs no matter the energy or temperament, I can get them to feel comfortable. Besides caring for my son after school and summer camps, I have free time most of the day to do any checks or walks as long as it's not overnight/late night. I can care for them with provided toys/food/area or I am capable of taking them on walks if they need time out farther from the house. I know older dogs may not want to play fetch but still need to walk around the block a bit. Also cleaning if the owner has the area and supplies is no issue, I love giving dogs a bath.
About: Hi, I’m Catherine, a lifelong dog lover based in East Port Saint Lucie! I grew up surrounded by dogs and truly believe they make life brighter and more joyful. Not long ago, I said goodbye to my beloved Shi Tzu, with whom I shared countless long, adventurous walks—so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet care for pups of all sizes (0–101+ lbs). Walks can be tailored to your dog’s needs, from quick potty breaks to fun, energetic strolls of 20–45 minutes. I’m also happy to provide plenty of playtime, belly rubs, fresh water, and updates to keep you connected while you’re away. Since I currently work from home, I’m flexible and can accommodate early morning, midday, or evening walks. Weekends are completely open, so your pet will get the attention they deserve. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or a seasoned adventurer, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work from home, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pets. I’m available for early morning, midday, or evening walks during the week, as well as full availability on weekends. My experience walking my adventurous Shi Tzu taught me to tailor walks to each dog’s needs—typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I will treat your space and your pet with care and respect. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and preferences to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where your dog’s needs and habits are fully catered to. I take safe, scenic routes for walks, avoid busy streets, and ensure every outing and visit is tailored to your pet’s well-being and happiness.
About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs—including having a Husky and two Yorkshire Terriers of my own—I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages, including both young and senior pets, and I know how important it is to tailor care to each individual animal. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise and high-energy play or simply calm companionship and reassurance, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. As a sitter, I am reliable, punctual, attentive, and compassionate. I prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being and physical safety while maintaining a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. I also understand the importance of following routines, respecting instructions, and keeping owners informed while they are away. In an emergency, I remain calm, assess the situation carefully, contact the owner promptly, and prioritize veterinary care when necessary. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furry family member and giving them the care and companionship they deserve! I’m a full-time online student working toward my bachelor’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule compared to a traditional in-person student. I can easily plan my schoolwork around pet care and make sure I have dedicated time for each pet. As long as I have time to complete my homework either before or during a pet stay, I’m happy to spend extended periods with your pet. This flexibility makes me a great fit for overnight stays and house sitting, especially for owners who prefer having someone stay in their home with their pet. I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly while still being present, attentive, and available for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to provide companionship and care while also maintaining my school responsibilities, making overnight and longer stays especially convenient for me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow the routines and instructions their owner has provided. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet comfortable by maintaining their normal feeding, playtime, bathroom, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For overnight stays and house sitting, I’m happy to spend extended periods in the home so pets have companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. Since I’m a full-time online student, I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly from the client’s home while still being present and attentive to their pet. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since childhood. Growing up, my family always had at least one cat and one dog in the home and my siblings and I were responsible for caring for these animals. I have always had some sort of pet since then.

I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel fully at ease while they’re away. I work from home full-time as a software engineer, so I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and attention. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rio
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!
First time for Hannah giving my 2 Labs a mid-day walk. Was lucky enough to get her on short notice and she easily accomodated/controlled the younger ones need for attention....Based on my exerience with about 12 different walkers from rover over the last 2 years, I would highly recommend.
My dog walker has been fantastic — always punctual, reliable, and caring. Samson loves his walks and comes home happy and relaxed every time. Communication is great, and I get detailed updates with photos after each walk. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker.
