“Came back from my trip and our Shiba seemed actually sad (in his way) that Kenya was leaving. We were noting how much he’s grown accustomed to having Kenya around. They definitely have a bond.”
“Hailey was great for our dachshunds, readily available and house sitting while we had a weekend away. She kept us closely updated and kept the house very clean. She even sent us photos of the dogs!”


“Mariia was absolutely amazing with lotus and coco. Thanks to her I was finally able to enjoy a vacation worry and stress free. I’ve used Rover once in the past and had an awful experience with two different people canceling on me a day and two days before my trip and then the sitter that finally agreed to watch them, canceling on me after I left for my trip. My dogs can be super crazy at first and need some time getting used to someone new. Mariia came over once to meet them for a bit and then came over early the day I was leaving to spend some time with them before I left and that really helped my dogs get comfortable with her. I definitely over worry any time I’m away from my dogs and stress about whether they’re being good, but she stayed in contact with me every day sending messages and photos and it really helped me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dogs. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone that I can rely on to watch them when I go on vacation. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Devona did a great job watching our 2 dogs. She sent us pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. She also came prior to meet the dogs in advance. We would definitely use her again.”

“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”

“Marie took such good care of Genevieve while I was out of town! She stayed overnight with her, brushed her, and made sure she was well fed and played with. I was very grateful to not have to worry about Genevieve while I was away, knowing Marie was with her and keeping her company. I returned home to a very clean apartment and a happy cat. Communication was always easy and Marie sent pictures the entire time. Thank you for everything, Marie! It was so great to meet you!”

“This was my first time using Rover for my 4 dogs and Colleen was amazing! She had great communication through the entire stay and I felt like my dogs were in great hands. I was not worried for a minute while they were in her care. I will definitely be rebooking Colleen in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since 2014. I can handle picky eaters, special diets, and dogs that need lots of attention. I have a dachshund and a chow mix, and I would love to spoil your dogs like I spoil mine! I am a Scare Actor for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I am available during the day before and after my shifts, which should be around 8 hours. I am able to give your dog treats, play time, and crate them if needed. I always make sure water bowls are full, especially in the heat.
“So incredibly friendly and helpful! Marina stayed for a few hours with our extremely separation-anxious dog in our new apartment so we could go get some furniture. It felt like a silly request, but just having her there with Mable made a world of difference and by the time Marina left, Mable was sad to see her go. Marina sent us multiple adorable pictures of our dog while we were out and updated us regularly on what was going on, which was really nice for us as first-time users of any dog-sitting service. She was also extremely thorough in making sure she knew everything our dog needed before we left. We'll definitely be asking her back, thanks so much for everything!”
About: Hands on experience caring for animals I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of animals from large to small. I am retired and I do Uber on the side. I have very flexible hours and I’m available from dog walking, spending time with your animals to staying with them in your home to house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs that they may have. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, quiet, companionship, medication or extra patience, I provide loving a attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pets is to feel completely comfortable, knowing they’re in experienced, caring and trustworthy hands.
“Deborah did a fantastic job watching buddy. She kept us informed daily and even sent us photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. we will use her for sure going forward, thank you again Deborah”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Cane Corsos, and many others. My love for animals goes far beyond simply caring for them—they truly become family. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will be treated with patience, compassion, and plenty of love every step of the way Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which allows me plenty of time each day to provide attentive care before and after work. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love and attention they deserve. On the weekends, I’m completely off, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and spend quality time with them. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In my client’s home, I strive to keep your pet on their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed and with instructions), and plenty of affection. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while I’m there. To give you peace of mind, I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs.
“Kiri watched our dogs in our home and she did a great job. She was on time, took the time for our sometimes timid dogs to get comfortable and she sent lots of pictures. Our boys seemed happy when we came home!”

“Dwight is extremely accommodating and friendly. He goes above and beyond to take care of our dog, Keaton. We know Keaton will be in amazing hands when Dwight is taking care of him. We hope to have Dwight care for Keaton for more vacations and long days of ours in the future!”

“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”


About: Loved all animals for a very long time. I have enjoyed caring for family pets and have loved every second of it. Now I’m ready to treat your pet like another family member! Currently working part-time and a UCF student. I love animals and always have! One fun fact is a lot of owners that say their animals aren’t usually nice to new faces, their pet has liked me automatically I respect your extra member of the family and am eager to help out any way I can. I follow clear instructions even if some may believe it’s “too much” I don’t.
“Danny did an amazing job watching our crew. We have three dogs, one being a puppy, and he had no problem dealing with our chaotic house. He even sent daily pictures so we could see everyone while we were gone. We will definitely be using him again.”

“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”

She was fabulous and very responsive to our requests. We received wonderful photos and amazing care of our cat and dog while we were gone. Came back to a clean house and happy animals and loved the incredibly thorough details that we received while gone. Thank you for being so easy to work with! It’s always a relief knowing your babies are in good hands.

Marie is amazing, a complete Godsend. I have an extremely hard time leaving my dogs but she made it so easy for me to take my family away on vacation. I got constant updates and the dogs adored her. I’m looking forward to more family vacations knowing Marie is in our lives now 🙏. We appreciate her so much.

Oh my gosh! I feel so very fortunate to have found Mariia. Miyah took right to her first meet up, like she’d already known her. Mariia is so attentive and detail oriented, she follows exactly every instruction, (even tho Miyah didn’t!). She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and stayed in touch with me as we worked through the schedule and her first stay with us. So thankful and very highly recommend!

Jennifer was such a great sitter for our dog! We unfortunately had a last minute cancellation with a previously scheduled sitter, and Jennifer responded immediately to our request. She came same day for a meet and greet with our dog, and was able to start sitting the next day. She was very helpful, and took great care while we were away. 10/10 would recommend her and use her again the next time we go away.

Logan was GREAT! He provided good communication with frequent updates and was super friendly. Most importantly, Scrappy loved him! Scrappy appreciates the company of people and Logan truly gave him that. Thank you for the service and keeping Scrappy good company.

I am thankful and grateful to Katarina. She stayed overnight with my three dogs for the weekend. She was reliable communicated well and sent pictures throught her stay. My dogs can be a handful but were relaxed and comfortable with her. Would recommend her and look forward to using her again.

Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!
