Brenda was amazing with our cat Kota, even thou Kota did not put on her friendly face and come out for some loving and attention. Brenda kept her feed and even send photos of her hiding. I am new to the app and love the updates received after each visit. Definitely booking again with Brenda!

Beth is amazing! She was so wonderful with my puppy and followed every instruction I left for her, even writing things down and asking questions about what I'd like her to do in specific scenarios. She was super punctual, kind, and compassionate, and I am lucky to have met her! My dogs are my world, and they compete in several dog sports, which means I'm always a little anxious about leaving them with someone new- but I certainly didn't have to worry with Beth!

We are so grateful to Elizabeth for checking in on our chocolate lab , Marner! She was incredibly punctual, arriving right when she said she would, which gave us great peace of mind. The best part was her wonderful communication- she sent multiple videos and pics throughout her visit showing us Marner playing and getting plenty of pets. it was clear he was receiving tons of love and attention. We returned home to a very happy and relaxed pup. We will absolutely be booking Elizabeth again and cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you for Everything!

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.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to an adorable Aussie! I’ve raised and trained 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. I will take your dog for a long walk in the neighborhood. We can play in the backyard as well. If you prefer, I can take them to the beach as well! Just say the word! I live on Sanibel Island. I am happy to walk your dog in the neighborhood, play in the yard or pool, or even go for a beach walk! Your dog will get plenty of exercise and potty breaks!

Rebecca H. Was awesome with our puppy. She gave us great peace of mind about leaving our little family member behind for a couple of days. It was so nice to be able to leave our puppy in his own home. She sent pictures and updates every visit and very comfortable about having her in our home. We will use her again for sure!

About: Hi there! I’m 27 years old and have spent the last 12 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have two dogs of my own, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with: Daily walks and exercise routines In‑home sitting and overnight stays Drop‑ins for feeding, playtime, and check‑ins Puppies, seniors, and pets with special instructions Administering basic medications and following detailed care plans Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a quick check‑in, my goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable experience every time. I work full‑time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pet care. I’m available every morning before 8am, mid‑day during my lunch break, and in the evenings and nights. I’m also available 7 days a week, so whether you need early walks, drop‑ins, or evening/overnight care, I can reliably fit your pet into my routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all of their normal schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime habits, so everything feels consistent for them. I treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, washing bowls, tidying up after pets, and following any house rules you set. I give each pet plenty of attention based on their personality—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I’m comfortable handling special instructions like medications, senior care, puppy routines, or specific behavioral needs. I also send regular updates, photos, and quick check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I maintain their nighttime routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire time.

About: Hi! My name is Brooklyn, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention, love, and exercise they need to feel happy and safe. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet—they’re family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. As your Rover sitter, I provide reliable, loving care that follows your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Each day includes morning and evening walks or potty breaks, feeding as instructed, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority while in my care. I provide a calm, supervised home environment where pets are never left unattended during outdoor breaks, especially since there is no fenced yard. Dogs are always leashed for walks and potty breaks to ensure full safety and control. I maintain a clean, secure space with a structured routine to help pets feel relaxed and at home. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with attention, responsibility, and a safe environment at all times.

About: I have multiple years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have pet-sit for many friends before. I love taking dogs on long walks or going to the dog park, whatever you need me to do! 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! I have a ton of experience caring for pets and I am very understanding of any rules you would like me to implement with your pet. I will respect your space and ensure that your pet is happy and healthy when you return!

About: I stand out because I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s routine. I follow instructions exactly, send clear updates every visit, and make sure you always know how your pet is doing. I’m very active, so dogs get real walks and engagement — not just a quick loop. I have a calm, gentle energy that helps shy or anxious pets feel safe, and I’m patient with all personalities. I don’t overbook, I don’t cancel last‑minute, and I treat every home and pet with the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care is part of my daily afternoon routine. I work Monday–Friday and schedule my visits during the same time window each day, which keeps things consistent for the pets I care for. I’m active and outdoors every afternoon anyway, so walks, drop‑ins, and playtime fit naturally into my day. I don’t overbook myself, so your pet always gets my full attention, and I follow their routine exactly — meals, meds, walks, and quiet time. My schedule is steady, reliable, and built around giving pets calm, consistent care. I provide calm, consistent, safety‑focused care. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home clean, respect your space, and give clear updates so your pet feels secure.

About: Hello! I'm Nicole, and I'm 29 years old and living in my sunny hometown of Cape Coral with my 3 small fluffy dogs. I recently completed my masters degree at NYU with a thesis focusing on dog socialization. I've had pets since the day I was born - cats, dogs, fish, chickens, horses - you name it. I started before double digits caring for the neighbors pets when their owners were away on trips and still do to this day. I love all creatures that the world has given us, whether a lost neighborhood stray or the turtle on the side of the road (Yes, I am that person to stop and help it to the other side). Now taking my in-person pet sitting service digitally, I have learned to love and take care of pets in all aspects — from keeping them healthy and being by their side when sick or recovering. Everything from giving lots of love, keeping them well fed, being taken care of, and lots of playtime, walks, and especially cuddles — which are my specialty. My senior mini aussie has had double ACL repair surgery, and he was the bestest boy to learn how to care for a pet medically. I hope your pet can be a part of the love fest, too! I'm currently taking care of my parents' estate so I'm home 24/7. All my time is yours! Morning walks, evening walks, medicine schedules, drop-in visits, or socialization - anything your baby needs I can provide. At home, we have a fenced yard with doggy doors with full access to the outdoors. I always supervise their outdoor time since we have a pool. I can crate your dog any time if needed, or let them sleep in bed with me at night if they love that, too.

About: I am so loving! I have dog sat for puppies before. I have potty trained two at a time. I have a cat and have sat for 2 cats in the past. I’ll take real good care of your animals! I treat them like they are my own ❤️ I am currently working full time at a job. The schedule varies from week to week. I usually work 12 hour days with breaks in between people I go to. I am a CNA. I let my dog play on our lanai and in the pool. I let my cat on out on the lanai on cooler days. I take very good care of my animals and the animals I sit for!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.
