“Kiara was terrific with our dog. We were nervous leaving him for the first time but Kiara took excellent care of him, making sure he had food and water, taking him out, and playing with him each time she came over. We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”

“We can't thank Gisselle enough! She saved us last minute when we needed a couple drop-in visits for bear. She was communicative, incredibly reliable, and gave our pup so much love and attention while I was gone. We are so grateful for her flexibility and care, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve had 11 dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been lucky enough to raise every one of them from just days or weeks old until they reached old age. I spoiled them endlessly, but I also made sure they were well-trained, social, and comfortable around other animals, dogs, babies, and people. Growing up, my family somehow became the family that animals could count on. I’ve lost count of how many animals we’ve rescued, fostered, nurtured, and helped find loving homes for. We’ve rescued everything from a bag of kittens my mom found in a dumpster at her job, to an abandoned iguana left at our house, to a one-eared dog who literally ran up to our car while we were stopped at a red light. I know it sounds like something out of a movie, but I promise it’s all true! 😂❤️ To me, dogs and pets aren’t simply animals—they’re part of us and part of our souls. They are family members who deserve patience, respect, love, attention, and proper care. They’re incredibly pure, innocent, intelligent, funny, and full of personality, and I genuinely love taking the time to understand what makes each animal special. 🐾❤️ I’m fortunate to be able to make my own hours and choose which days I work, which means I often have more days off than someone with a traditional schedule. If I have a pet-walking booking, I can easily adjust my work schedule around it by moving my workday to another day or starting earlier or later. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and available for pets while still maintaining my full-time career. I love that I can use my extra time to give pets the attention, exercise, fresh air, and companionship they deserve. I do travel occasionally, usually about once a month or every couple of months, but I always plan ahead and will let pet parents know in advance and block off any dates I’ll be out of town. I believe every pet and every breed is different, so I care for them based on their individual personality, needs, age, and health. When I had my English Bulldog, he preferred a slower, more laid-back lifestyle. Because of his build, exercise was important, but we kept our walks slow and comfortable, and he was usually very quick when it came to using the bathroom. I currently have a 9-month-old miniature Dachshund who is the complete opposite! He loves sniffing absolutely everything, so our walks tend to be much longer. I never rush him when he’s using the bathroom or exploring because I believe walks should be enjoyable, not something a dog has to hurry through. Because we live in Florida, I’m also very mindful of the heat and strong sun and bring an umbrella for extra shade when needed. He is definitely a very spoiled baby! 😂 He has beds and blankets throughout almost every room of the house, plenty of toys, and lots of space to safely roam and play. Because Dachshunds can be prone to spinal issues, I don’t let him use stairs and carry him up and down whenever needed. He gets monthly de-shedding and grooming, dental treats, coat oils, regular checkups, and of course, an unreasonable amount of hugs and cuddles. ❤️ Overall, I believe pets deserve individualized care, patience, comfort, enrichment, and lots of love. I try to care for every animal the same way I would want someone to care for my own spoiled baby.

About: I am a responsible, patient, and animal-loving person. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, understanding that each has its own unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to respect a cat's space and time so they feel comfortable and safe, ensuring their litter box is kept clean, their food is served fresh on time, and they receive attention or playtime according to their energy level. Your pet will be in loving and fully protected hands while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule and full availability to care for your pets. I can walk them, make house calls, and attend to their needs at times that suit you, perfectly adapting to your dog or cat's daily routine. I maintain a completely clean, safe, and hazard-free environment both at home and during walks. I keep in constant communication by sending photos and updates to owners, I follow all instructions to the letter, and I never remove the leash while walking to ensure maximum safety.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I have worked with large breeds like Great Danes and Golden Doodles to small ones like Chihuahuas. I am ready to care for your dog like it was my own! I am currently available after 2 pm on Thursday and Fridays. Saturday and Sunday have open availability. I am NOT available Monday, Wednesday, nor Friday. I am comfortable with cameras being using during my service and I am open to discussing other safety measures to ensure a pet’s safety at the owners request.

“Jessica is a dynamo who speaks canine. She visited my home early to meet my pup and see our setup days in advance. Immediately, she bonded with my high-energy pooch. The dog listened to Jessica's commands and displayed a reassuring level of comfortably. After the visit, I received seven photos, putting me at ease and displaying that Jessica was the right choice. I will use her again and again.”

About: Horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, spiders, snakes, I LOVE all animals! I grew up with 2 Rottweilers training them and teaching them basic commands. I have no fear of animals and can accommodate any fur friend with any niches! I’m a full time student and looking for a side hustle while I’m in school, I thought of no better job than working with pets!

About: Hi! My name is Esmeralda, and I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers to Pit Bulls and everything in between, I've had the privilege of raising and caring for dogs throughout every stage of life. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality and needs. Before joining Rover, I regularly provided dog sitting and drop-in visits for family members and members of my church community while living in Puerto Rico. Those and my personal experiences taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. What sets me apart is that I don't believe in "just watching" your pet—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and give them the attention they deserve, whether that's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a dog mom myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free experience, with regular updates and plenty of love every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work a part-time remote job, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. As a dog owner myself, I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets receive lots of love and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. •Daily Pet Care Schedule 8:00 AM – Morning Routine Morning potty break/walk Fresh water refill Breakfast feeding Morning playtime and attention 12:00 PM – Midday Check-In Potty break Short walk or play session Fresh water check Extra attention and companionship 4:00 PM – Afternoon Activity Walk or outdoor time Playtime and enrichment activities Check on comfort and needs 6:00 PM – Dinner Time Evening meal Fresh water refill Relaxation and affection 8:00–9:00 PM – Evening Routine Final potty break/walk Calm playtime or cuddles Ensure pets are comfortable before bedtime I understand every pet has their own routine, so I’m always happy to adjust feeding, walking, and care schedules based on each owner’s instructions and their pet’s individual needs. In my client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable staying in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while keeping owners updated,whether thats through videos or pictures, so they have peace of mind and show how their pets well being. Every pet is treated like family and cared for with the same love and patience I give my own. House Sitting 🐾 ***Please note that my dog, Frida, will accompany me during house-sitting stays. Because she is part of my daily routine, she will be with me throughout the stay. By booking house sitting with me, you acknowledge and agree to Frida being present in your home. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, comfort level, and any concerns during our required meet & greet before accepting the booking.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments since I was 11 years old. I have worked with professional dog trainers for all 3 of my dogs, and believe in positive reinforcements. I have been trusted to care for the pets of my friends, family, and neighbors and have even been known to become the pet’s new favorite human after my time with them! I am very accommodating and will try my best to go above and beyond to give you and your furry family! I’m currently working full-time but on the weekend I am available from 8:30am -10pm, so I have plenty of time to play and spend time with your pet! I’m also really flexible and can work in walks or drop-ins from 5:45- 10pm Monday through Friday! I live in a gated community that has a fenced in dog park so your pet will stay safe while still having the freedom of running around and stretching their legs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, I really love helping people and that’s why I am a teacher and why I want to care for people’s pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl. My family used to run a pitbull rescue in Tennessee so I’m very familiar with all bully breeds. I have 2 french bulldogs, one being special needs. I am very patient with all pups and acknowledge that they each have their own personality and preferences. I strive to make a safe and comfortable environment for each baby I meet and I treat them with the same attention and care as I do my own. I am available Monday through Friday before 8am or after 6pm. Saturday and Sundays I am available all day. I do accept special requests as my husband is a stay at home dog- dad and is fully available 7 days a week. I treat every pet as my own and give them endless cuddles, kisses, and reassurance that their mommies and daddies will come back for them.

About: Hello fellow pet owners!! I’m an English adjunct instructor who balances time between work and home, which allows me to provide structured, attentive care for pets in a calm and safe environment. When your pet is with me, their comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. My home is well-suited for dogs and designed with safety in mind: • Fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor play • Doggie door for easy potty breaks • Pool (always monitored with safety as the priority) • Cameras in common areas for added peace of mind I carefully plan my schedule so pets are never left for long periods, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest while I’m home. I’m very mindful of each dog’s individual needs—whether they’re active, shy, older, or just enjoy lounging nearby. You can expect regular updates and photos, clear communication, and care that treats your pet like part of the family. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, and caring home where your dog will be loved and well-looked-after, I’d be happy to chat and set up a meet-and-greet! I currently teach college classes, so I’m free in the afternoons from 2 PM or on Fridays and the weekends at any time! I love going for fun walks with my fur baby, so I’ll treat yours just the same! My first priority when walking a pet is ensuring that they are safe. I let them explore and have a few toys that they can play with as well! We have a doggy door, so once they are comfortable with using it, they can explore the backyard at any time. We have a camera in the backyard to ensure safety, but they will usually be supervised by me if it’s during the day.
