About: As a devoted pet sitter, I bring enthusiasm, care, and reliability to every pet | look after. I understand that each dog/cat/pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship and love. With a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine passion for pets, I ensure your friend feels happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away. Your pet's comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home and I have exceptional flexibility for pet sitting, house sitting and dog walking services. I can easily adapt to your pet's specific schedule, whether they need midday walks, morning care, or evening cuddles. My work setup enables me to provide consistent attention and timely care, ensuring your furry friend feels loved and secure throughout the day. I'm available to accommodate last-minute changes or special requests, making your pet's happiness and well-being my priority. I currently do not offer pet sitting in my home. I'm happy to provide care in your home or offer other services such as drop-in visits and dog walking, depending on your needs.
“We are so happy we found Caitlin to take care of our pets! This is the second time she has been our pet sitter and she has been amazing!! Communication is great and she goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are comfortable when we are not home. 100% recommend her :)”

“Zachary was amazing! Our dog loved him instantly and he was so patient with her. He kept us updated with photos. He dropped in on our dog multiple times during an impending hurricane - I would have understood if he’d canceled under the circumstances. I would absolutely use Zachary’s services again.”

“Excellent care and attention! Nastasia is very loving and caring with my Chihuahua Rasta- and I absolutely love getting all the photo and video updates! I can tell my puppy is happy to have her come hang out with her!”

“Courtney did a great job caring for my cats . She made sure they got attention and plenty if scratches. Plus she was geat about cleaning up after my senior kitty who had some accidents. Thank you Courtney!”


About: As my day job requires me to go to customers homes, I see lots of dogs everyday. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. While I don’t currently have dogs of my own due to space, I love visiting my friends who do and love meeting all the four legged friends in customers homes! I am a plumber so I work M-F every week. Although I don’t have a set time I’m off work each day, it usually ends up being between 4-5 pm. No matter what I will make it a priority to get to your babies! I am also free on weekends! I always keep a cat carrier in my car just in case of emergency and my suv provides ample space for larger dogs for emergencies or walks at the park or elsewhere. I always try and make animals comfortable around me by reading body language and following any boundaries they set.

About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I learn their quirks, stick to their exact routine, and keep you updated with photos so you’re never left wondering. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, you come home to a calm, happy pup who had a great day. As a cat owner, I fit care into my day in small, easy chunks. My mornings are 10-15 minutes to feed, refresh water, and scoop the litter while my coffee brews. Evenings take about 15-20 minutes for dinner, a second scoop, and playtime — my cat is most active at dusk, so a quick wand-toy session helps her settle for the night. Weekly tasks like deep-cleaning the box or brushing take me 30 minutes total. Once I tied it to habits I already had, it became routine and keeps my cat calm and happy. I care for my pets by keeping their routine simple and consistent. Mornings are food, fresh water, and quick clean-up. Evenings are dinner, play or walks, and checking that everyone’s settled. I stick to their schedules, handle meds when needed, and stay on top of vet care so they stay healthy and happy.
About: I grew up as an animal girl, we always had at least one dog at a time. I watched our neighbors dogs and farm animals growing up My work days are short and my schedule is flexible. Dogs are free to roam when I’m gone if trained or I’m happy to crate them if needed. Let me know where they sleep and I’m happy to arrange. My home is fully pet-friendly with trash in a closet and nothing reachable for them to get into. Nothing toxic in the house and all furniture is pet-friendly. I also live right next to a trail for long walks off the hot pavement.
About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs before through volunteering for a dog and cat shelter. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day. I am available during the summer because I am not working much. I will take care of your dogs like they are your kids. I am comfortable taking care of dogs. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I will make sure dogs and their owners feel exceptional and well taken care of after I work with them, I am interested in getting to know you and have me get to know your dogs. It's important to have someone to give attention at all times
“Stephanni was amazing! First time using the Rover app services and first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family member and Stephanni made the whole process very comforting and reassuring. She is very suite and she was very caring to our dog. I will be rebooking her again next time we are out of town. Thank you Stephanni!!! You were wonderful! 🫶🏻”
About: With over 18 years of dedicated house and pet sitting experience, I provide high-quality care that gives you complete peace of mind while you are away. My clients frequently note that I leave their homes even cleaner and tidier than I found them. Because I work remotely, your pets will enjoy consistent, full-time company throughout the day. I choose not to have pets of my own so that I can remain fully flexible and available for your needs. Whether your pets love active playtime or cuddling on the sofa (house rules permitting!), they will receive abundant attention and affection. Since I work remotely, I can take as many breaks as needed to feed, walk or play with your pet. I don't have any obligations at home that would prevent me from being available and attentive to your pet. I take care of pets in their home, as I think it's less stressful for them than going to a strange, new place. Whether it is just walks and play visits or I'm staying overnight, I spend lots of time interacting with them.
“Emily was super attentive to my little guy! She was receptive to me and any last minute instructions I may have thought up. She took pictures, tracked his walk, and I even noticed she cleaned up to fuzz mess he left in his crate before she left her visit. (Joey likes to tear up his bed sometimes resulting in bed fuzz everywhere!!)”
“I would highly recommend Julia for your doggy’s care. She took such good care of our senior dog during her drop in visit. She was very confident in administering his meds too. He had a bond with her right away! We will be having her back when the time arises!”
About: I am experienced with breeds of all sizes. I have owned and cared for several large breeds myself, and I know how to handle them with confidence and respect. I am patient and gentle with all animals, but I especially enjoy working with rescue pups. I know how to give them the exercise and attention they need, understand that sometimes rescues need extra patience, and I am always up for a good game of fetch or tug-of-war. I am available 24/7, so I can always be there for your pet when you need me. I have excellent communication skills, so I will keep you updated on your pet's progress and let you know if there are any concerns. I am confident that I can provide your pup with the love, attention, and care they deserve. If you are looking for a pet sitter or walker who is experienced with breeds (both large and small) while being committed to providing the highest level of care, I would be honored to be your choice. My schedule is flexible - I have multiple days off per week (healthcare hours) and I can be available to care for your fur-babies anytime! Currently located in the Miami, FL area. I believe that providing quality pet care is important, and I take my responsibility seriously. I do am always happy to answer any questions or concerns that my clients may have.
Sand Key pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nycol took care of my cats for two weeks over the holidays, and it was such a relief knowing they were in great hands. She checked in consistently, made sure they got their meds, and truly cared for them. I was completely worry-free and will always trust her with my babies!

Hailey took such great care of my cat. Though I'm not planning anymore trips right away, i will definitely rebook her. I highly recommend her! My cat is super shy with new people, but with Hailey, they were fast friends and my kitty absolutely loved her. I'm so thankful that I found her.
