“Went out of town for 10 days, and left three cats, one that needed special attention. Found Robin on Rover, she came over for a visit prior to us leaving and was totally tuned in to what we needed. She took on the task of cleaning my senior's cat's toes 😖. I got daily pictures and a lengthy description of each visit. She also did me the extra favor of watering some of my plants! 100% trustworthy left my house nice and tidy, and three happy kitties. It makes me so happy to know that next time we go out of town I can count on her caring for my kitties like they were her own.”


“Shelly is the best. Great communication while I was away. I received many photos from her so I knew my two guys were in the best hands. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to have great fur baby care. Thank you Shelly”


“Nothing but good things to say about Charlie!! She took great care of my dogs while I was away. I will definitely ask her to do drop-in visits again when I leave town. Thank you, Charlie! I appreciate the care and attention that you gave my dogs. :)”

“Kelsey watched out frenchies for us over Christmas vacation. She was wonderful. Our dogs loved her. She kept us updated regularly & even took them for a walk. Will definitely use her again. Thanks so much Kelsey!”


“I can't brag on Elizabeth enough! We just love her and our dog Abby loves her too! From the beginning until the last day the the consistent communication and feedback, detail reports, precious photos, very professional. We will certainly be a customer of Rover next time we need your service and hopefully Elizabeth will be available. We may just schedule our next trip out of town around her schedule! Thank you Rover and thank you Elizabeth. You are the best!”


About: I have grown up around dogs. Specifically labs. I have my own lab. I’m used to the energy and love getting outside with them! I’m prior military so I’m responsible and will always communicate with you! I’m currently in between jobs so why not spend some time with furry friends! I’m available on weekends as well as evenings during the week. I’m naturally a clean person and can’t stand when things are dirty. I’m used to the shedding and the mess that dogs make. Will keep your place tidy and make sure you’re dog is clean!

About: With over 10 years of experience helping people care for their dogs in Austin Texas, I now offer loving in home dog care in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. I bring calm, grounded energy from my yoga background and treat every dog like family. I’ve worked with senior dogs, shy pups, and everything in between always with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. I currently have a very open schedule as I focus on deepening my yoga and meditation practice to eventually offer online sessions. Spending time with animals brings me peace and joy they offer unconditional love without judgment, and I love giving that love right back. Being around dogs helps me stay present, grounded, and connected to what truly matters. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your care instructions closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications. I also create a calm atmosphere through my grounded energy and presence, thanks to my background in yoga and meditation. I treat every dog with kindness, patience, and genuine love as if they were my own.


“I couldn’t ask for a better babysitter! My Opal has bad anxiety and is very scared of new people, but Keely came over to meet her before I left on my trip and they became best friends! She gave Opal her daily meds and sent pictures and videos every visit - She’s great!!”


“We were so lucky to have MaKayla look after our Luna girl while we were away for Thanksgiving! MaKayla was responsive, attentive, and trustworthy. She sent me pictures of Luna on her visits and was always good to give me updates when she came by. It makes being away much easier when you feel your animals are being well treated and taken care of, and that’s how we felt with MaKayla!”


“Jessica was awesome! She was very responsive and went above and beyond for my fur baby. So glad we found her while visiting Destin! Would use her again next time”


“I couldn’t of asked for a better sitter than Ashley, she was the best! She truly took such great care of my dog Bambi & helped us out so much while we were away. So lovely to work with and I really appreciated all her updates & photos after each visit!”


About: I am an experienced veterinary professional and responsible pet owner who will always ensure that every animal under my care is happy and healthy. I have 6 years of professional experience working with animals. I currently work remote as a Veterinary Care Specialist where I work alongside doctors and am responsible for doing tasks such as reporting changes in a pet’s behavior and health, discussing patient cases with doctors and referring doctors, and assisting pet owners with understanding their pet’s status reports, medical records, discharge papers, and after-care needs. I also previously worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant where I was responsible for doing tasks such as confirming symptoms, reporting suspected diagnoses, performing CPR and first aid, checking vital signs, expressing anal glands, examining stool samples, clipping nails, cleaning ears, and administering a variety of different oral, topical, and injectable medications. Besides my professional experience, I have 16 years of personal experience caring for animals as I have had many pets throughout my life. I currently have 2 dogs (one dachshund mix and one black mouth cur mix,) 6 guinea pigs, and 1 tortoise. I also previously had a golden retriever, a shiba inu, a rabbit, a bearded dragon, 2 ferrets, and 4 hamsters. In addition to all of this, I have even fostered 16 rescue dogs, raised 2 working dogs, and dog-sat numerous family / friends dogs. I have much experience working with animals of different sizes, species, breeds, and personalities and would love to continue to increase this experience by caring for your pet when you are unavailable and or away. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to further discuss my qualifications and availability. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Availability for boarding and daycare: I will be able to provide pet-care 24/7. Availability for dog-walking and visits: I will be able to provide pet-care every 4 hours or less, depending on how close the family lives from me. Pets under my care: As a pet-parent, I know how scary it can be when your fur-baby is under the care of someone else and so I will always be sure that not only is your pet’s safety a priority of mine but also your peace of mind. I will do everything I can to ensure that your pet is safe and receives the best care for their mental health, emotional health, and physical health. I will also send you frequent updates of your pet and will be sure to answer you within a few minutes of when you message me about your pet. Pet-care at my home: My apartment complex is a gated community that includes fields of grass and safely constructed sidewalks for walking. It also has both a “beach” area where dogs can dig in the sand and a fenced-in dog park where they can run and play off-leash. My apartment itself is a two bedroom with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, balcony (which is safe for pets,) and 6 cameras installed to help with monitoring pets in-house. Pets visiting my home will be staying in my living room where they can play, free-roam, and lounge on my sofa-bed or dog bed, when supervised. For the nighttime and when I have to leave my home without the pet (which would be unlikely,) they will be in my gated-off kitchen and will have their very own large-sized dog bed, toys, food bowl, and water bowl. For the nighttime, pets can also sleep with me and my dogs in my bedroom if they need more company and or supervision. In addition to this, for exercise and relieving themselves, pets will be taken on walks and will have the ability to utilize my apartment complex’s dog park (when there are no other dogs present besides my own.) Pets can also take a trip to the beach with me for more fun, if approved by owner(s). Please also note that feedings will entirely depend on the instructions of the owner(s) and that for hydration, a water bowl will always be accessible to pets both in my home and on-the-go. Pet-care at your home: I will care for your pet in any way that is instructed of me in your home!

“Maria was a drop in sitter for our cat. She was exceptional, attentive and dependable. She was a great communicator through text and photos. We would highly recommend her and would definitely utilize her services again.”


About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My husband and I currently have two Golden Retrievers and we love them like they are our actual children. Throughout middle school, college and now marriage, I’ve dog sat just for fun! I truly do love any dog and I’m just grateful to spend time with them. I have dog sat a range of dogs from 2 lb Toy Poodles - 100 lb German Shepards. I would be honored to dog sit for you if you go out of town, need your dog walked, dog feed, let out to potty, etc. I’m also happy to water plants for you, pick up mail or take out trash, etc while dog sitting. I work remotely in finance so my schedule is very flexible. I can come early in the morning to let out your dog/walk before work, let them out during my lunch break and out again after I get off. I have a fenced in backyard and two very friendly Golden Retrievers. They love to make friends and play with other dogs. However, I prefer to do daily house calls where I go to your home and let your dog out 3-4 times per day to potty, walk, play, be feed, etc.

“Shelly is the best ❤️🐾 puppies are always happy to see her, she always loves on them and spoils them. It makes my heart happy knowing they are being cared for when I have to be away.”

About: Hello! I have been a pet owner and animal lover my entire life. Recently and "empty nester", I now have more free time to help care for your fur babies too! I have a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs and would love to ease your stress and worry while you're away. I am in top physical health, so running/walking your pups will be a joy for me. I also have experience house sitting and can help with small household chores such as gathering mail, watering plants/gardens and basic pool care services. You can rest assured that your home and pets will be cared for just as if they're mine. Trust me, relax and enjoy your time away with stress free confidence anytime.

Leidy D.
“Leidy was my loyal and trusted pet sitter for over five years. She handled all aspects of their care while I was traveling. There was never any issues and I was always confident that if something had come up, she would easily have been able to handle any situation. She was loving with my dogs and my cats as demonstrated when she was around the animals. She was very diligent with the Pet prescriptions and also let me know how my food supplies were doing. She was a terrific help to me and made traveling no problem since I was never worrying about my beloved pets.”

Gabrielle M.Star Sitter
“Gabrielle was the best neighbor to have as a dog parent! She was always my go-to person for when I need someone to dog sit. Her dogs are very dog-friendly and Gabrielle, herself, is very attentive and knowledgeable in animal care. My dog has really bad skin allergies and Gabrielle would ensure that he always got his ointment, fungal wipes, and medication at the designated time(s). She even helped me come up with a better diet for him (better than what VETS recommended) that has DRAMATICALLY improved his skin condition. I’m so grateful for her!”

“Maria was a drop in sitter for our cat. She was exceptional, attentive and dependable. She was a great communicator through text and photos. We would highly recommend her and would definitely utilize her services again.”


Chrissa J.
“I can count on less than 5 fingers the people I would trust to keep my dog. I have such high standards of keeping my fur child and not everyone can commit to that kind of care. Chrissa will keep your pet like it’s her own while in her care. Her own dogs are treated as family members rather than pets, to say they are spoiled is an understatement! She will give your dog the upmost love, attention and care. Whether you want to make sure your dog has a little exercise while you’re at work or the peace of mind knowing your furry family member is well taken care of while you’re on vacation, Chrissa goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, warmhearted and caring person for your fur baby, Chrissa is a Godsend!”

Julie W.
“Julie loves all animals. She has taken great care of our 12 year old Boston Terrier (Fiona). She has been a pet sitter for some of her clients (she's a travel agent) when they go on long trips. We now have a "granddog" Jax who is a lab/pit bull mix who stays with us when our son comes to town. He is a big sweet lap dog. We take them for walks and to the doggie parks regularly. I believe she would be a wonderful addition to your team ! Sincerely, Bill S.”
