About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family have come to me to help take care of their animals. I love all breeds and sizes! I am available every day to care for others pets! I can drop in, walk, and bathe all sizes of dogs and am willing to move my schedule around to help out! I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs and have been around and taking care of animals for the majority of my life. I also have experience with cats, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, and hamsters. My dog Max has some health issues so I’m experienced in administering medication.
About: 🐾 Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! With over 15 years of professional experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary care, I provide a safe, personalized home-away-from-home for every dog I welcome. Set on a peaceful one-acre property, my home offers plenty of room to explore, play, and relax while receiving individualized care in a calm, loving environment. I intentionally accept a limited number of dogs so each guest gets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. ⸻ Dedicated indoor boarding suite currently being built with spacious kennels and a secure outdoor play area for even more comfort and enrichment! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I schedule my day around the pets in my care to make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. I provide regular outdoor time, daily walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and lots of one-on-one interaction. My goal is to keep each pet’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can see how much fun their pets are having. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests provided by their owner. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervised playtime, daily walks, outdoor time, fresh water, treats (with owner approval), comfortable places to rest, and lots of love and attention. I maintain a clean, calm environment and only care for a limited number of pets at a time so each one gets personalized care. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also clean up accidents, scoop litter boxes if needed, bring in mail or packages, water plants upon request, and send photo and video updates after every visit so owners can have peace of mind. With over 15 years of experience, including working at a dog daycare, boarding facility, and veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, rescue animals, and pets with special needs or medications.
About: I've been taking care of dogs my whole life. At the moment, I have 3 dogs, a 7, 5, and 4 year old, all 60+ pounds. About 5 years ago I started taking care of the pets in my neighborhood when their parents go away. I am able to feed, walk, bathe and administer oral medications or supplements to them. I have experience caring for senior pups, young puppies, and dogs with seizure conditions, considering one of my pups at home takes medication for it. I understand how important it is for our babies to get exercise and would love to take care of them while you’re away. I am a freshman at the University of South florida so any time during the school year will I will not be available. But, I am home mid-May through Mid- August to watch your fur babies. I am currently a freshman in college at the University of South Florida. While I was still in high school, I would petsit on the weekends or during long holidays. Now that I am in college, i am unable to petsit during the college school year. But, I am out of school from mid- may until mid-august, and I am free for almost the entire summer. Whenever I visit, I pride myself on being clean. Washing their food bowls, refilling their water, and cleaning up the backyard or house when needed. I am happy to take your dog or pets for long or short walks or depending on their needs. If the dog is crated, I typically leave a light on for them, give them a treat, and I love to play calming music for them when I leave. I take pictures of all the pups I care for and will gladly send them to you.
“Amber did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and I came home to happy, relaxed cats. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Amber!”
“Laura did an amazing job! She was on time and sent pictures everyday. I was very happy and satisfied with her service and will definitely request her again in the future”
“Kim is amazing! She goes above and beyond. She went to the mailroom for get Spookys extra food and she even vacuumed up his litter area which I seriously appreciated. She always sends photos and makes me feel so much better about leaving my baby!”
“Gabriella was absolutely amazing with Archie! From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Archie adored her and looked forward to every single drop-in visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. Gabriella kept us updated, made sure Archie was happy and comfortable, and treated him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Archie!”
“Susan was exceptional. I would highly recommend her. She did daily drop in visits for my cat when I was on a 2 week vacation, took very good care of him and gave him his medication as directed. The daily report and pictures really helped me not to worry about him while away. She is also very quick to respond and very organized and efficient. Five stars +”
“Lara was super responsible and caring with my dog, Winter. She made sure I knew how Winter was doing after each visit and was available whenever I contacted her for any concern. I would definitely book her again in the future and would recommend her for your pets.”

“Megan was a fantastic sitter for my three cats. She was responsible, reliable, and affectionate with them. I felt completely at ease the whole time and would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“Lisa and Dakota took care of our cat while we were traveling, they did daily drop-in visits for feeding and cleaning of the litter box. We received a picture of Duchess which is very timid and we didn’t think she would show up. Lisa and Dakota are very professional and have a lot of experience with pets. We recommend Lisa and Dakota for boarding and drop In visits.”

I can’t say enough about Mariana. The peace of mind knowing that my Minnie is taken care of and plants were watered was priceless. I love her check-ins. The family loved seeing pics of the activities, walks and peanut butter bone. I would definitely rebook without a second thought.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southwest Ranches stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
