About: I’ve loved dogs and grown up with them my whole life. I raised and trained my family dog since she was a puppy and am her primary caretaker when I’m home. My neighbors, friends, and family have always been able to rely on me to take care of their pets in any way they need, including grooming, walking, feeding, and playing. I’m currently a full-time medical student at FAU, but my schedule varies day to day. For the most part, I would love to take care of your pet either in the mornings or afternoons. I love to go on walks outside, so I would be happy to take your pet for a walk or play with them. I will adhere to any rules regarding where your pets are allowed to go inside the home. I am used to ensuring that pets stay in or out of certain rooms, and am comfortable caring for dogs in homes with fenced yards.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their routine. I am reliable and truly passionate about creating a stress free experience for both vets and their owners. Pet care first perfectly into my daily routine because I am a full time mom ( grown kids) and home full time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. Mealtime, walks and play. I take time to learn their personalities and what comforts them.
“Robin was the best pet sitter I could have imagined. She helped us out of bind at the last minute and was very easy to communicate with. She made us feel very comfortable pictures and text about each visit. I highly recommend her.”
“I couldn't be happier with Raquel as a dog sitter! She was incredibly responsive, sending me regular updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Raquel went above and beyond by taking my dog on longer walks than I expected and making sure she got plenty of playtime. When I got home, I found the sweetest handwritten card from her. Such a thoughtful touch that really made my night coming home to! Raquel is wonderful with pets, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter <3”
“Estefania is the best! She’s been my go-to for all visits and walks for a while now, and she’s just as fabulous as the first booking! She takes my dog on her full mile walk and sends amazing pictures and updates!”
“Alexander was a life saver and breath of fresh air!! They helped me so much with my last minute booking and connected so great with my little crazy fur children! Thank you so much again!!”
About: I have a strong medical and scientific background, so I’m very comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, stress, or health, and responding appropriately. That means your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re being carefully cared for. I’m patient and adaptable with all types of dogs, from high-energy puppies who need structure and consistency, to senior dogs who require a calmer pace, medication support, and gentle handling. I follow routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, crate training, reinforcing basic commands, or maintaining your dog’s normal environment to reduce anxiety. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule around it to ensure consistency and reliability. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, or overnight care without rushing. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or in the client’s home. My priority is keeping things consistent, calm, and safe so your pet feels secure.

“Had a chance to meet Cherie ahead of her dog walking visit with Teddy. What a wonderful and engaging person that Teddy immediately was drawn to and gave 4 paws up!!!! He was sad when she left!!!”
About: I am a reliable, friendly and outgoing animal lover. I am a dog owner of a bubbly energetic lovable yorkie so I definetly have a lot of energy for your adorable doggies. I can be their best friend. I believe exercise is very important and will provide nice long walks daily. I possess a strong passion for all animals and believe they are our angels here on earth. I look forward to being your dogs best friend. I will make sure your dog will have a lot of fun. I feel extreme saddness when I see dogs sitting outside on someones porch or left in the backyard and the owners dont walk their pets. it gives me such happiness to be able to provide happiness to all dogs during our walks. They literally smile as you walk them.
“Mercedes was great! Super communicative and flexible, extra sweet to my dog & kept an eye on a little health issue he was having for me. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“She has been an amazing walker for my pup! She has worked on training exercises while walking with her and spoiling her with treats. My dog is obsessed with her and looks forward to seeing her every time. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
About: 10+ years of keeping dogs happy, tired, and well-fed. Big dogs, small dogs, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, I've handled them all. Your pup will be loved and well taken care of! I work from home, so your dog basically gets a full-time roommate. Walks, playtime, naps, we stay on a solid routine all day. Boredom is not on the schedule. Apartment life with a dog park downstairs, best of both worlds. Clean space, calm vibes, and your dog gets outdoor time whenever they want. They'll be living their best life until you're back.
Rio Vista dog parents share their Rover experiences
Valeria is amazing! We were nervous because our pup is just 3 months and is still weary of strangers, but Valeria’s energy is great and she greeted the pup first and made him feel comfortable and loved and he warmed right up to her. She is very nice and great with animals, 10/10 would recommend!
I highly recommend Aaron for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or pet sitter. They took wonderful care of my dog while I was on vacation, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. They were always punctual, attentive, and incredibly loving. It was clear that they genuinely care about animals, and my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. Their professionalism and kindness truly stood out. I would absolutely trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Absolutely love Jessica! I highly recommend to anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area looking for a loving family to care for their pets. Her and her daughter are fantastic with animals, and were gentle and kind towards my Macimus. I will definitely be using her again and recommend to everyone!
Genesis is great! I was nervous to do this but she is a life saver. Beso is my baby and thanks to her I was able to relax and enjoy. Thank you. It was my first time with her but I’d definitely try with her again. She was very present and communicative. 5 stars ⭐️
Ayelen is very kind. When first meeting my dog, she got on the floor and starting petting her and talking to her like I do! My dogs tail started wagging immediately. She arrived on time, sent pictures during my pups walk, asked informed questions, followed directions - you really can't ask for better! My dog came back tired, so I am really appreciative she got some exercise!
