About: I've been with Rover since September 2017 and have taken care of many dogs, young and older. I have one sweet girl pom that is 11 years old. I do prefer dogs on the smaller side, less than 30 lbs. I'd be happy to provide updates, pictures etc. throughout the day or night to provide you with peace of mind. I know how important your furry pets are to you! I have no issues with giving medication, oral or otherwise. Let's set up a Meet and Greet to make sure we all get along with each other. Please contact me if you have any specific questions or concerns, I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup(s) or cat(s) too! Thanks so much for the consideration. Since I'm always home with our 8 year old you can be assured that your pet has someone around in case they're scared or need care. I let them out at least every 2 hours and keep a good eye on them while they're in the back yard! Rest assured them will be loved. I am home pretty much all day and night. No worries if your pet has separation anxiety or other. I'm always here to take good care of them! I do not work outside the home so I’m always here. Potty breaks are not a problem as I can walk them easily or just let them out behind our lanai. We love in a townhome in a gated community. There are plenty of pets around and I have a lot of experience caring for all types of dogs.

About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

“Great walker!”

“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”

About: Hi there! My name is Marycarmen, and I'm a dedicated student with a deep love for dogs. As I work towards my career, I’m seeking some extra income, and what better way than combining my passion for animals with a job I truly enjoy? In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I promise your pet will be in great hands. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve! Between my classes and studies, I set aside dedicated time each day to provide personalized care, whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, playing with them, or just being present to offer companionship. I have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely play, run, and explore. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and cozy downtime.

About: Growing up with cats and having dogs by my side for the last 25+ years, caring for animals has always been a part of my life. From energetic German Shepherds and loyal Labs to cuddly Maltese, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and pups with joint or hip issues, and I’m comfortable administering a wide range of medications (excluding IVs). I know how important it is to be gentle, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—especially when they require a little extra care. I used to travel often for work, so I personally understand the stress of leaving your beloved pet with someone new. That’s why I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I truly believe the bond between a pet and their person is sacred, and I treat that bond with the utmost respect. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’ll be there to care for them like they’re my own. I work standard hours Monday-Friday from 8-5 but I work from home so I’m able to stop in during the day. Early mornings, evenings and weekends I will be able to spend more time. I cater to the needs of the pet/owner. Each animal is different and each owner treats their pet differently. I only watch one owner/family’s pet at a time so the level of care your pet will receives is based on your standards.

“Kim is the best. She is always on time, reliable, and my dog loves her. She's been walking my dog daily for three months, and I don't have a single complaint. Thanks again Kim! :-)”

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”

About: I had my dog from 6 months old to 13 years. So I have experience with young dogs, including my friends and neighbor's puppies, as well as senior dog care with special diets and care needs. I am home from college so I have plenty of free time to give my full focus on the dogs (and cats). I also enjoy the physical exercise that sometimes comes with caring for dogs. I try to quickly learn a pet's schedule and behaviour and adapt to how they prefer to spend their time, while giving them a fulfilling time and activities and making sure the owner is satisfied.

About: I take the time to bond with each dog, earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved and understood. I adapt my approach to each dog’s personality, energy level and needs, whether it’s a playful pup who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants gentle companionship. I’m currently working part-time as a realtor so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my clients schedules and needs as directed with notice. I live in a condo with two kittens so I will most likely be sitting at the client’s home. I will care for the pets as directed by the client, providing them photos and details of my time with their pets.

About: I have loved caring for pets since I got my first family dog 17 years ago! For a couple years now, I have taken care of a range of both cats and dogs for friends, family, and even neighbors while they were away. Several have said they’ll never use another sitter again! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time during the week and weekends to make sure your pet is well taken care of and provided for! I am also available to spend nights at nearby homes. I am patient, adaptive, and love all the playtime and snuggles I can get from your pets. Your pets will always be well provided for with food, water, playtime-and most importantly I will always ensure their safety while you’re away!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

“Fabrice was so professional, kind and caring with our dog. She was so happy to see him come for the walks! I would highly recommend Fabrice.”

About: I have cared for animals for some time, with ages from 6 weeks to senior age. I love their energy and kisses, they fill my heart :) I work part time so I am flexible! I will have a lot of time to give your animals the most care and long snuggles. I always make sure your fur babies have plenty of time outside to run and play! I also enjoy running around and playing with them as well!

About: Hello everyone! I have extensive experience with animals and would love to work with yours. After working in a holistic pet supplies store I have gained more knowledge about animals. I work part time at a vet clinic helping animals. I am knowledgeable in food allergies, joint problems,amazing toys, yummy treats and ways to get excess energy out of your pups and cats. I have loved animals all my life and was taught from the young age of 8 how to take care of pets. I have 3 cats myself but I love dogs also! I am available all day Tues-We’d. I can send you pictures of your furry babies if you like updates. I can handle multiple animals as well. I am available all day Tuesday and Wednesday every week with at least an hours notice. These are the 2 days I have full day childcare. Taking care of and playing with animals is my dream job! Keeping an eye on animals is a must because they like to get into things they shouldn’t. The dog will be leashed all times outside of the home for their safety. Keeping doors and gates closed at all times is highly important so they do not wander off. I will be able to update you when you like and send pictures of your dog or cat. If any animal needs special care please let me know ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate.
