About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs, cats, and livestock and have experience as a vet tech. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! I work from home October through April so have plenty of time to drop in to care for your animals. I also enjoy walking so would love to have you baby tag along for that. Currently have three dogs that go on two walks a day and have outside play time. I would treat your fur baby like it was my own, and of course send you plenty of pictures/videos.

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have had both dogs and cats throughout the years. I currently have two dogs of my own that I care for every day, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that animals need. I’m experienced in caring for animals and have some experience with basic dog training. I’m no Cesar Millan, but I can certainly work with dogs on commands such as sit, stay, and other basic behaviors. I genuinely care about the comfort and well-being of animals. I even built an air-conditioned doghouse for my own pup because I wanted to make sure he had a comfortable place to relax in Florida’s heat. One of my greatest strengths is being able to recognize that animals depend on us to understand their needs, even though they can’t tell us what’s wrong. I try to put myself in their paws, pay attention to their behavior, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I live and work on my farm, which allows me to be readily available throughout the day to care for the precious fur babies entrusted to me. Because I’m right here on the property, I can provide regular attention, supervision, playtime, and care without the limitations of having to leave for an outside job. I have crates available if that’s what your dog is comfortable with, as well as air-conditioned doghouses and a large, securely fenced yard. I also have 10 acres of property where your dog can enjoy plenty of space to explore and roam with supervision. I have two friendly dogs of my own who would love having some new friends to play and spend time with. It’s truly a little doggy paradise! 🐾

“Our Aussie Doodle seemed to love being there. She played with their dog and she slept on the bed with their teen aged son. She took to these people like she had known them all her life. She even jumped up on the son's lap and our doodle just doesn't do that to people she doesn't know. I would definitely use this lady again to watch our dog.”

About: My lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals of many kinds. I bred our family poodle, assisted during the birth of her puppies, helped raise them, and placed them in loving homes with family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for guinea pigs, fish, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs of many breeds and sizes. I’ve even rescued baby birds and provided around-the-clock care until they were healthy enough to be released back into the wild. I’ve also helped several family members teach their dogs important skills, including potty training and coming when called. I had a dog by my side for most of my life until my beloved fur baby recently passed away. While I’m not ready to adopt another pet, I would love to responsibly fill that space in my heart by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care to other people’s pets. I currently work at my part-time job two days a week. Outside of that schedule, I’m very flexible and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet parent’s needs. I’m always happy to have a conversation about your pet's specific routine and schedule so we can create a care plan that works well for everyone. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which means your pet will be my priority and receive plenty of individual attention. Although I do not have a fenced-in backyard, dogs will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, and there is also have a dog park in my neighborhood that can be used with your permission. For cats, I can provide litter boxes and a peaceful environment where they can settle in comfortably. My home is clean, organized, and pet-proofed. I do not have children in the home, and potentially unsafe items are kept neatly put away. Pets are welcome on my furniture because I believe they are family—while they’re staying with me, my home is their home.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was small. From Pitbulls to Chihuahua, I make sure every pet feels content and happy at home. I'm currently available 24/7 for boarding overnight or daycare, no problem. Depending on the location, I am also able to house sit with your fur babies and provide daily walks within your neighborhood. I live in a peaceful neighborhood where I and many others can walk dogs without issue. I am very alert of feeding times and bathroom breaks. In another's home, I make sure to be respectful of boundaries and given instructions while I am caring for my client's fur babies.

About: I’ve spent nearly two decades around dogs — from working in pet resorts and vet offices, where I trained dogs and their owners using structured obedience, clear communication, and mutual respect. My background in working with dogs shaped a disciplined, no-nonsense approach that builds real trust between dogs and their people. Whether it’s a rowdy puppy or a dog with serious behavioral issues, I focus on building lasting confidence, not quick fixes. My schedule leaves solid blocks of time for pet care throughout the week, and I’m currently building out a dedicated training and kennel space at home. I’m available for boarding and daycare on weekends and weekday evenings, with flexibility for drop-offs, check-ins, and training sessions throughout the day I live on an acre of land near a reservoir, with a fenced area and a dedicated kennel and training space being built out inside my home. I own three well-socialized dogs of my own who are comfortable around visiting pups, so your dog will have company. I use crates when appropriate and closely supervise every interaction to keep all the dogs safe and comfortable.

About: My whole life surrounded by animals. Over the years, different types of dogs. I attended the vet magnet program in high school and completed my hours in a vet clinic. I currently have a dachshund, my boy is the sweetest. I would be doing pet care on my days off. Days that I’ll be free at home and able to take care and give love to your pet. I would take care and love your pet as if they were mine. I know dog are our baby’s and should be treated with much love and kindness. I will follow his/her routine as best I can so that he/she feels at home since being in a new place/environment is already hard on them.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication, patience, and natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I have experience caring for different breeds and sizes, and I also have basic puppy training skills, such as teaching them to go potty outside, walk on a leash, and follow simple commands using positive reinforcement. I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and mentally and physically stimulated. I also pay close attention to details, such as proper feeding, schedules, cleanliness, and any medical or special needs the pet may have. I am reliable, responsible, and take the well-being of every pet under my care very seriously. I have full availability throughout the week, so I can easily adjust my daily routine to take care of pets. I like to organize my time in a way that allows me to give them constant attention, making sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and affection. I’m a very responsible person and truly enjoy spending time with animals, so I have no problem adjusting my schedule to meet all their needs. My priority is to make sure they are well cared for, comfortable, I take care of pets in my home, where I have a large outdoor space, perfect for the dogs to enjoy a safe environment. However, they will also feel very calm inside the house, as I make sure they are comfortable and relaxed at all times. I offer constant attention, playtime, walks, and a clean environment both indoors and outdoors, so they are always well cared for and happy, no matter where they are.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their River Ranch home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your River Ranch.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your River Ranch sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
