“Tomi is amazing! She has been walking our dog at lunch time for the last couple of months and it has been a great experience. Great communication, reliable and goes above and beyond. Thanks Tomi!”

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.
“Nicole was so attentive to my boys! They looked so happy going on walks with her (she sent great pics)!!! Very communicative and I was comforted that my boys were in good hands!”

“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: 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.
“Caitlin is wonderful! So sweet! Absolutely loved Macimus, and Macimus loved her. I highly recommend and will definitely be using again! Thank you so much!”

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.

“She was very sweet and I could tell sancho was well taken care of. Communication was thorough and clear, very easy to work with. I will definitely re book her when I am back in the area!!”

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!
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.
“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.”


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.
“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.
“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.”

River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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!
