About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with them since I was five gave me the chance to learn firsthand how to care for different breeds with all kinds of personalities and needs. Somewhere along the way, taking care of dogs just became second nature to me. I’m currently a college student at the University of North Florida, and even with a busy schedule, I always make time for the dogs in my life. I am also in Delta Gamma sorority and I love doing volunteer work I go to the human society a lot with my sorority. My first pup was a super energetic Jack Russell who kept me on my toes and showed me the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation. Later on, I got experience with bigger breeds like a Great Dane and an English Bull Mastiff—both gentle giants that taught me patience and how to handle mobility and health concerns with care. I’ve also looked after a smart and active Brittany Spaniel mix, a trio of fun-loving Labradors, and now my two mini Goldendoodles who are all about snuggles, grooming, and consistency. Each dog has taught me something different, and I’ve really come to appreciate how important it is to adjust care based on their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog who moves a little slower, I’m confident in my ability to provide the kind of attention and care they deserve. I love being active, I’m super dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—which is why I think I’d be a great fit for Rover dog walking. I’m all about keeping dogs happy, safe, and feeling loved, and giving pet parents peace of mind while I do it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I prioritize providing consistent, quality care. I schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins around my other responsibilities while still being a college student at UNF, ensuring each pet receives the attention they deserve. I’m flexible and adaptable, making it easy to accommodate different schedules and pet needs. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, using secure leashes, and being attentive during walks. I ensure a clean, comfortable environment, respecting clients’ homes while providing care. I communicate regularly with pet owners, offering updates for peace of mind and building trust through reliable, compassionate service.

“Kristin was able to come walk my dog very last minute for me! I work 12 hour shifts and my roommate last minute wasn’t able to be home to take my dog out. I sent Kristin a message the night before and she instantly replied saying she was able to. This helped me so much, will definitely use her services again!”


“Haleigh provided lots of pictures throughout their walks and playtime which we appreciated! She was very easy to work with and our pup enjoyed being able to stretch her legs while we were at work. Thanks!!”



“Shakil is very personable and accommodating. He was able to walk our dog at the last minute and came the night before to meet her. Looking forward to booking him again in the future!”


“Ashley did a great job with my dog. She has great communication. She sent several pictures to me, and my dog looked very happy. Ashley is also very prompt. I will definitely have her walk my dog again.”


“Deb is awesome! She’s a lifesaver for working long hours and makes sure my dogs get their legs stretched and good potty break so I don’t have to worry about them all day. Also greatly appreciate that she always picks up any stuff they’ve gotten into during the day and puts it away. Never expected that so it’s greatly appreciated. Also always checks the water bowls and my dogs seem happy to see her!”


“Reliable and loving pup sitter. My pups fell in love with Lindsey instantly! Will definitely be using Lindsey's services during my next work trip! Loved the pics!!”



“Iva was great! She came to my apartment to let cookie out/walk her during my long hours at work. She sent lots of pictures during the walk. Cookie had a great time!”


About: When you board with us, your pet gets more than a place to stay, your pet gets a family to be a part of. We are a family of 6 humans, 1 dog, and 6 chickens. Your pet will have plenty of playmates! I am a single mother who works from home. I drop off and pick up my kids from school, and run the occasional errand, but usually I am home. I enjoy an evening walk with my chocolate lab and would love your pet to join us. I have a fully fenced, large backyard. I also have two extra crates if your dog is crate-trained and feels more comfortable sleeping in a crate. Pets being on furniture is discouraged, but rarely enforced. I have an SUV and am willing to transport pets if needed.

“Hannah is amazing we loved hearing how the boys are and she took care of them just like they were her own we will definitely be using the service again and definitely be using Hannah in the future”


About: I love to make sure animals feel comfortable in their environment and feel nurtured as well as loved. Making sure they feel safe is the most important part of it all. The reason I love to pet sit is to give comfort to the pet and parent that their animal is receiving almost the same love they would from their own mom and dad away from a boarding facility and in a warm environment with lots of love and snuggles. I don’t like to think of a fur baby being locked away and scared so that’s where I come into play, to make sure they feel safe and secure and have a play buddy I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule, so I am normally home or available to help when needed. I am able to accommodate whatever needs come up. I can take the dog for a walk as well as we have a fenced in dog park and a place for dogs to play. The dog would never leave my site. For cats, I would ensure they are safe, and do not get out of the house, they have all needs met and are comfortable whether hiding or playing.

“Machalia was great. Quick responses and arrived when she said she would. Took lots of photos and made sure my pup had everything he needed prior to leaving. Would recommend/use again.”


About: I’ve been taking care of family pets, neighbors, and friend’s pets for around 9 years. People have trusted me with dogs and cats, all ages and sizes. In the recent years, I used to foster dogs of all ages, some for 2 weeks at a time and others for many weeks. I love animals, and this is a great way to help when I can. I can walk your pet, sit with them, play with them, feed them, or if you’re out of town for a few days I am happy to make sure they are as happy as can be until you return. Whatever you need, I am here to help! I am happy to come to your home. I have a dog, but no fenced in yard. I will not bring her unless you specifically request me to.

“Ashley has been an absolute gem for my pup, Orville! Her kindness and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. She is prompt, reliable, and goes the extra mile to ensure Orville is happy and well cared for. I appreciate her thoughtful updates and the way she treats Orville like her own. If you're looking for a dog walker who is both compassionate and dependable, Ashley is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!”


About: I started taking care of cats at the age 15 as I had a cat of my own 🤍 during that time by 19 I got my very first/only dog I’ve had she was a Siberian husky with beautiful blue eyes ! I then started off walking my neighbors dog , eventually I started telling family members that had pets , if they were ever out of town and needed someone too take care of them I would do it :). I then came across another app like rover :) and started to do it professionally. I took a break for sometime after having my son 😊 but I am now back and excited to work with little furry friends once again 🤍😊☀️🐶🐾 I’m currently a part-time worker , so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of our flurry friends🐶☀️🐾. I’m available for boarding , sitting , & daycare 😊 I will ensure they are well feed & hydrated, that they had there potty/exercise time , I will give them love and lots of attention as well🤍
