About: Taking care of pets fills my heart with joy. I'm really aware of the owner's preference of care for their pets and go above and beyond to deliver what they expect from a caring and professional sitter to provide their peace of mind. I'm a full time office manager that can spend early mornings 7am- 8:30am with your fur babies, 12:30pm-2:30pm for lunch breaks and after 6:30pm on week days. Weekends can be consulted. I look forward on making your pet feel as happy as they can be while following your care instructions through and meeting your expectations and providing you peace of mind.

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.

About: Not only am I a parent to 2 dogs and 2 cats, but a lover and champion for the rights of all animals. Big or small, I enjoy learning different personalities and winning over the stubborn ones. I implement training from my own fur kid’s trainer when necessary, enjoy nature walks and fresh air time and my favorite, conversations and giving rubs. My 13 year old Border Terrier mix has the occasional skin allergy, for which I give him medication, so I am also able to do so for yours, if needed. I know how it can feel to be away from your fur baby, therefore, take that into account, as I want for my girls and boys when I travel. They are in good, happy, responsible, caring hands. Feel this in later but has to be 18 words or more needed. So I am writing more words for now. And then we shall see. Feel this in later but has to be 18 words or more needed.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and cats, too! I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years. I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, which demonstrates my preparedness to handle pet emergencies. This includes CPR for dogs and cats, wound care, and behavioral signs. I am skilled in administering medications, including insulin. I treat every pet like family. You can expect lots of love, playtime, and dependable care while you’re away! The summer for my industry is slow and pet sitting with rover would be fun and also fill my weekly schedule. For Overnight house sitting, it starts at 6pm and ends at 9am. Feel free to request, even if it’s last minute or same day! I treat every pet with respect when I first meet them. I always make sure to read their body language and let them get to know me first. I love to play and give your pet lots of attention. I always make sure to follow their routine. I also give regular updates with photos or videos!

Elisha did a fantastic job. We were traveling in our camper. She had to make complex arrangements, coordinating with the RV park office to pick up and drop off the key. She handled it all without any complaints like a true professional. If you are ever traveling in the Ft. Lauderdale area (or live there) and need a reliable dog walker, please book Elisha.

Nicole was prompt, efficient and handled the tasks professionally with care. Our dog Valentino was always happy to see her. Our cat Sohji, who never comes out for guests surprisingly showed up for a cameo pic! This is an indication that even Shoji was comfortable with her presence and care. We recommend Nicole as a competent and caring pet specialist. Nicole will always be our pet care specialist when needed.

About: I am truly passionate about caring for pets and animals have always been a big part of my life. I live with my parents, who also love animals and are very supportive, which creates a calm, pet friendly environment. What sets me apart is my gentle, patient personality and the way I treat every pet like family. I am attentive, responsible, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow routines and instructions, give plenty of affection, and make sure pet parents feel confident with regular updates and clear communication. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. With advance notice, I’m very flexible and able to care for pets during the day, in the evenings, and overnight when needed. I always make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and care. I make sure they feel secure, relaxed, and at home at all times.

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!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a River Oaks dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in River Oaks.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
