About: Hi, I'm Taylor and I would love nothing more than to look after your pup! Nothing makes me happier than spending time with a sweet dog (or a few!). It is my pleasure to look after and care for your pets while you are away. I have a lot of availability to look after dogs and cats in your home and take care of them (and your house) while you are traveling. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. All of my free time will be devoted to spend with your animals! Thank you for considering me to take care of your four-legged friend and I can't wait to meet you! I have complete availability to look after your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and ability to spend time with your pets throughout the whole day and night. Active supervision is a huge part of what I do! I will make sure your pets are under a watchful eye, being properly exercised and fed, and of course getting all of the love and play time.

“Meredith is a dream come true pet sitter! She crossed the causeway for us and was even a few minutes early! She is by far the best pet sitter we’re ever had. Our dog is a spirited, old chiweenie and is petrified of us leaving her so she’s very difficult. Meredith has so much empathy and compassion that our dog warmed up to her quickly. Meredith took the time to cut up treats and hide them in Punky’s treat mat. She sat with punky and comforted her when we left. Punky is very happy and content. It is as if we never left her!!! We are amazed at the quality of Meredith’s character and the care she gave our dog. She sent pics and kept us posted. She is a true dog’s best friend and now ours! Thank you, Meredith. We are able to do things knowing punky will be greatly loved.”


8. Hannah R.

“Hannah was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my cat but she went above a beyond by getting my kitty food when she noticed we were running out. I will definitely rebook with her next time we are out of town.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, often having 4 or more in the house. My love for dogs turned into a career, and I have now trained professionally for 6 years. I have trained dogs of many different breeds and ages. I have two dogs of my own, a poodle and a Belgian malinois. I take my dogs everywhere, and love them like crazy. I promise to treat yours just the same! Thank you for your interest. I hope I get the chance to meet you and your doggo very soon! I work Monday - Friday 8-5pm, so I prefer mostly weekend pet care! However I am open to pet care after my work day. If you need more than weekends feel free to message me. We may be able to work something out! I have a jeep compass that can transport any sized dog if needed. I have walked/cared for many different breeds, and all different ages. I have access to two very clean dog parks if preferred, and an outside dog wash if wanted. Basically, Your wish is my command, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your fur baby is well taken care of!

“Dixan did a wonderful job watching all 7 of my animals! 3 dogs and 4 cats all felt right at home with her presence and attention. Thank you again :)”


11. Olivia L.

“Olivia was really great with Leo while we were out”


12. Michelle K.

“Michelle was wonderful! I knew when I met her the fur babies would love her. She sent pics, communicated, and loved on our babies while we were gone! We will be using her for some more drop ins and a longer overnight stay in July! Thank you again, Michelle!”


13. Natasha & Gaspare Jr. M.


“We have 3 dogs with all different personalities and their own little issues. A large 90lb mix with a lot of energy, a medium 40lb mix (14yrs old) with bad hips and completely attached to me, and a 25lb very finicky 13 year old mix. It’s very tricky to feed them as they all eat differently and one dog requires meds. We were so worried to leave them and rarely go anywhere because of worry. Natasha and Gaspare were absolutely wonderful. They came to our house 3 times a day for 5 days. Made sure everyone ate, played fetch, and got love- sent us plenty of updates and photos. One dog had an accident twice in the house- and they didn’t mind at all. Just the sweetest people. We were able to enjoy our trip. As soon as our dogs met them- they loved them. We love them too- thank you both for treating our babies so well!”


14. Sydney L.
About: Hi, I’m Sydney– Your Friendly Neighborhood Animal Lover! Animals have always been a part of my life—and caring for them comes naturally. From dogs and cats to reptiles, I’ve had hands-on experience with a variety of pets. I even attended a magnet school specializing in zoological and botanical studies, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and wellness. I currently share my home with a charismatic tuxedo cat named Bruce Wayne, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how much I love being around animals. Whether it’s belly rubs for dogs, enrichment time for curious kitties, or habitat checks for reptiles, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine compassion to every visit. I’m also attentive to special care instructions, medications, and unique personalities—because I know every pet is different. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, I'm here to help. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you're away! I am a college student home for the whole summer so I have a pretty free schedule that leaves lots of room for pet care. I can come over and do frequent check ins on your pet. I am easily adaptable to any sort of personalities, health problems, and/or modifications needed. As a dog walker, I can also take your canine friend on walks that match your standards. Overall, I know that every animal is different and has different needs and preferences that I am more than willing to adjust to.


15. Emma H.

“My cat is very shy and warmed up to Emma within the first day. I’ve hired her twice for Rover services and each time went perfectly without any problems. She gives updates every visit along with pictures. I definitely recommend her and would give 6 stars if possible!”


16. Natalie R.
“Natalie is a great dog mom to our too pups, Mya and Enzo. She is a real dog lover. Her dream is to open a doggy daycare of her own someday. Watching dogs is the perfect job for Natalie.”


17. Abigail K.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to an adorable Aussie! I’ve raised, trained, and housebroken two puppies (my own dog and a golden retriever puppy). I absolutely love puppies and providing them with a routine. You can rest assured your pup will be in a good home! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or dogs with special needs so please keep this in mind! I make pets priority. During the evenings, I will take your dog and my dog for a long walk in the neighborhood or on the beach. I live on Sanibel Island. I am able to bike or drive to your home to walk your dog! Please let me know how long you would like me to walk them, as it is very hot outside!


18. Beth R.

I also love hanging out with cats, I have one of my own, and I am really good at getting their energy out, or just cuddling up and giving them plenty of love! I am currently a graduate student so I am available at some point every day to take care of your pet. My schedule is very flexible so just let me know what works best for you!
