About: I’ve had pets since I was little, from cats and dogs to birds and chinchillas. I’ve always loved being around pets and have my little fur baby Ellie at home. I work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to drop by for visits during the day or take your little fur baby on a walk. My own fur baby is my life, so I’ll make sure to treat yours the same. On walks I’ll take precautions to avoid getting to close to other dogs incase they aren’t friendly, and I’ll make sure to be extra careful entering and leaving homes, as my own cat likes to try to escape and I know how quick and sneaky some can be.
About: I have a sphinx cat of my own and enjoy spending time with animals. I enjoy playing, learning and just spending time with animals daily. I currently work fully remote from home so I have a flexible schedule to ensure that your animals are well taken care of each day. I am attentive, detail oriented and truth worthy. I take my time to learn the best habits for any pet I am taking care of.
“I needed a last minute dog walker and luckily Nina was available. She did cancel one of the two days due to a family emergency but that’s okay, things happen! She communicated with me the entire time and took great care of my dog (including carrying her when she didn’t want to walk anymore). Would recommend! She even played with her after!”
About: I've taken care of many older dogs and I have a great walkable area for dogs around me, as well as a lake. I have two cats but in the future I'd love to have an Australian Shepard. I am a freelance graphic designer that remotely. So, I have a very flexible schedule that I can accommodate to most situations and am happy to adjust. I clean regularly because of my two cats and have a great outside walking area made for dog walking. a very large portion of the community at my apartment complex has pets.
About: I am from Oklahoma and I recently moved to Orlando to start a PhD program in Integrative Biology at the University of Central Florida. I just graduated with my BS in Zoology with Honors from Oklahoma State University where I spent lots of time working with students with learning disabilities, working as a student ambassador for the Pre-Preprofessional Health and Law Support Services, and interacted with undergraduate research in a range of contexts. I love animals so much, I decided to make a career out of it! I have my own cat named SodaPop who is my entire world and my partner who is currently on Deployment for the Air Force. I’ve had an exponential amount of animals through fostering. I have worked in a Vet’s office and can care for special needs pets. I was a Kennel technician trained as a Veterinary Technician so I’ve cleaned up and generally cared for animals and moved up to administering medications. I have a reliable vehicle and tons of free time during the weeks that I am not traveling! I am more than willing to be flexible with your needs whether that be dates, specific animal needs, or even pricing. My goal is to make you feel comfortable with your pet in my care! I am a graduate student and a teaching assistant with a mostly open schedule throughout the week. Flexibility is my top priority for both your schedule and my schedule. I am always more than happy to discuss I can best meet your needs! I personally like to treat my pets as family. They sleep with me, sometimes getting my food, and they get to go everywhere with me. Of course, I am more than willing to follow any general rules and routines you have with your pets that may not align with my own. I find that following a normal routine almost always helps reduce anxiety while you are away.
“Andrew was so amazing and caring with my little Flynn! He’s still a puppy so he required lots of patience which Andrew provided! I am so thankful I have someone I can trust to take care of Flynn for me, will be using again in the future! Thanks Andrew!! ?”
About: All my life I grew up with dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 14. I think it is important to consider each animal's individual personality and preferences when you are taking care of them. I have experiences from puppies to senior. I can help with walks, feed, bathe or just spend time with your pets. I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your sweet baby! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I'm there! I am available to take care of your pets during the week and on weekends, at the time you need for as long as you need. I can take them for a walk, I can bathe them, I can play with them until they use up all their energy, feed them, etc.
About: Loving, attentive pet care from a life long animal lover From shelter pups to high-end breeds, I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all kinds. Cats, dogs, and everything in between. I treat every pet with deep respect, patience, and genuine affection. When your pet is in my care, they’ll be loved and looked after like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or a calming routine while you’re away, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and adored at all times. I’m extremely flexible during 8am-9pm hours. I’m able to make accommodations for early mornings upon request, ideally with 24 hour notice. I’m available past 9pm as well depending on the needs of the pet. I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience fostering both cats and dogs, from high energy puppies to shy rescues. Animals tend to bond with me quickly, I respect their space while offering all the love and attention they crave. Whether your pet wants a 10 minute belly rub or simply quiet companionship, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m attentive, cautious, and always tuned into their body language to keep them happy, safe, and relaxed. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority.

MARIE M.
“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Marie Miller as a dog walker, pet sitter, and trusted caretaker. Marie has looked after our beloved dog, Mozzie, both for daily walks and extended overnight stays, and I can say without hesitation that she is truly exceptional. We first met Marie when she worked at our local doggie daycare in Boston, and it was clear from day one that she has a natural gift with animals. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and caring — and above all, extremely trustworthy. Mozzie instantly latched onto Marie and rarely left her side. The bond they formed was something special; they quickly became the best of friends. Marie’s attentiveness went far beyond the basics. She would send us regular pictures and videos, capturing sweet and often hilarious moments between them. Seeing Mozzie so happy and comfortable in her care gave us an enormous sense of peace, especially when we were away for extended periods. Marie spent numerous weekends — including holidays — at our home to watch Mozzie, and she was not only a fantastic caretaker for him but also a wonderful houseguest. She treated our home and our dog with the utmost respect and love. Knowing Mozzie was in Marie’s care allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our time away. We never once worried, because we knew he was in the best possible hands. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her — Marie is compassionate, reliable, and genuinely devoted to the animals she cares for. I emphatically recommend Marie to anyone in need of a dog walker or pet sitter. Any pet would be lucky to have her in their life, and any owner will find tremendous comfort knowing their furry family member is being cared for by someone as exceptional as Marie.”

“I can’t recommend Shaleigh enough! She goes above and beyond every time she watches my cat - spending extra time with her, giving her lots of love, and sending the absolute cutest photos. It’s such a relief knowing my kitty is in good hands and spoiled rotten while I’m away from home!”
Rio Grande Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! Kelsey was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog. Every update came with photos and a thoughtful note, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelsey again. Highly recommend!
Savannah was a lifesaver. She came last minute when I was sick and took care of my boy for me. She provided pictures and gave me a pupdate. I don’t know what I would do if she didn’t help me. She offered to make sure he was fed too. But I was able to take care of that. So thankful for her.
Alexa was amazing! I requested services last minute and she was able to accommodate my request. She was super attentive and you can tell she loves animals. She was on time and was able to get my dogs on their normal routine. Alexa made me feel so relaxed and happy when I was away knowing that my baby was in great hands.
Morgan was incredibly attentive with my dog. She was careful with the instructions I provided and followed the schedule perfectly. Scott loved staying with her and felt very comfortable; he even asked for cuddles and played a lot with her. I highly recommend her to everyone!
