“Devona is simply the best! She goes out of her way to do all the extras. Devona is thorough, kind, attentive, and is a great communicator. One of the best feelings while you’re away is having peace of mind, and we always have that when Devona is helping. Thank you Devona!”

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.

“Mariah is amazing and so attentive to detail! My pup can be nervous and shy with unfamiliar people, but Mariah did a great job helping her warm up to her. She is very responsive and great to work with 💜”

About: I grew up in a pet family and I always had a way of forming special bonds with them. I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and snakes. All creatures are special and unique and deserve care specific to them. I have pretty open availability! I am a barista, and my schedule is really flexible! I typically only work 6 hours a day, so I’m sure I can fit your needs! My pets at home are welcome to free roam. But every situation is different and you understand what your pet needs better than I will. I’ve always been great with direction so tell me what to needs to be done and it will be.

“Hope did a great job taking care of Milo when I was out of town, she stayed at my house to watch him overnight. Milo is a senior dog and she handled his care/needs very well.”

“Colleen was wonderful with our cats while we were away for the weekend! She communicated really well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she left our house spotless. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”

“Xanadu is the literal BEST! 10/10 would recommend. She stayed at our place while we flew out for a weekend wedding trip and was extremely flexible when things went awry as hurricane Ian approached. Our trip was canceled and then back on and she came in clutch. Lots of pics and pets for our pup and floof, our minds and hearts were at ease knowing she was here.”

Ashley H.

“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Makenzy! She did an amazing job caring for our two large dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She kept us posted with updates and pictures, and all our animals loved her. She will definitely be our go to person for any future pet-sitting needs!”

About: I have five dogs myself. They’re all well trained and friendly with other animals! I live on a large farm with plenty of space for dogs to run. I trained two of my dogs a few tricks each as well as potty trained them I work about four hours a day outside of my home. I always take care of my dogs before and after work. I have family let them out to pee and eat while I’m at work. I spend the evenings playing indoor with them My dogs have a large kennel inside that they sleep in at night. I have hosted dogs before and they sleep in my garage. It’s a warm area year round and if not then they will sleep inside in a separate kennel. I have orchards next to my house so your dogs will be taken on walks throughout them! Two of my dogs spend most of the day outside (depending on the weather).

“She was an absolute professional and experienced dog sitter and was able to accommodate everything that we needed.If i'm ever back in this area, I will definitely use her again. My dog absolutely loved her, and got along with her right away. ❤️”

“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.”

About: Serving Lake Nona / East Orlando area / Downtown Orlando / Winter park / St. Cloud / Kissimmee Hello Pet Parents! My name is Elisa, and I’m a pre-vet biology student with a lifelong passion for animals and their care. Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved spending time with animals and began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, which gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, caring for animals has become more than just a hobby for me, it’s something I truly love and hope to turn into my lifelong career. I also come from an equestrian background, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. Working around horses taught me how important trust and gentle care are, and I carry that same mindset into every pet I care for. A little bit about me, I have my own dog named Wrangler! He’s a very active, high-energy dog, so I’m very comfortable with energetic personalities, long walks, enrichment, and keeping dogs engaged both physically and mentally. We go on 3-mile walks and hikes daily, so whether your dog loves being active or prefers a slower, calmer pace, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I also understand reactive dogs, as my own dog has had reactivity challenges in the past, so I always approach pets with patience, awareness, and compassion. I also have 2 birds that I’ve had since I was just 9 years old! Having two birds of my own has given me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and boundaries. I understand that some birds can be bitey, nervous, or uncomfortable around new people, and I know how important it is to respect their space and build trust rather than forcing interaction. For shy or less social birds, I am comfortable stopping by to provide fresh food and water, clean their area, offer enrichment, and make sure they are safe and comfortable while respecting their boundaries. As a future equine veterinarian, animal health and safety are extremely important to me. I’m comfortable administering medications and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and at home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets P.S: Expect TONS of fun photos! My Pet Care Schedule * I’m available most early mornings early-late afternoons, which works well for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. *I work part-time too! So make sure to consult with me so we can work around my schedule. I am free early mornings and late afternoons during those days. * I avoid scheduling walks between 11 AM– 3PM, especially in hot weather, to keep dogs safe from peak heat. * I’m flexible outside of those times and happy to work with each pet’s routine and needs. For example : 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, play, mental enrichment and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy + and comfortable while you're away. How I Care for Pets During House Drop-Ins & Dog Walking * I treat your home with respect, keeping everything clean, organized, and just as you left it, while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. * I follow your pet’s normal routine. walks, meals, potty breaks, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. * I love incorporating enrichment into my visits, so I often bring a sniff mat and tailor activities to what your dog enjoys most. I pay attention to their personality and preferences so each visit feels engaging and meaningful for them. * I make an effort to really get to know your dog what they like, what motivates them, and what helps them feel happiest so I can adjust my care to fit them, not just a routine. * Treats and rewards are always personalized based on what your dog enjoys (because every good pup has opinions, and I respect them). * I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether they prefer a calm sniff and stroll or a more active outing. * My goal is to make each visit feel positive, enriching, and comforting for your pet, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re genuinely cared for.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have always had pets of my own, including dogs and cats, and I also worked at a veterinary office for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals. I worked directly with them, assisted with walks, and helped provide care for pets recovering after surgery. This experience taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and will always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. 🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to give them the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I plan my schedule carefully so I can be dependable and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m especially interested in helping families who need pet care during evenings, weekends, and other times that fit my availability. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for even when you can’t be there. I care for my own dogs and cats with lots of TLC, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and everything they need to be happy and comfortable. I pay attention to their routines, feeding schedules, behavior, and individual personalities because I know every pet has different needs. My two years of veterinary office experience also gave me hands-on experience working with animals, including taking dogs on walks and helping care for pets after surgery. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions carefully, monitor pets for changes in behavior, and provide a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d want someone to give my own fur babies. 🐶🐱💕

“Ava is fantastic! She sat our house and Cane Corso (no easy feat as he can be very intimidating for most people). She gave us daily pics of our babies while we were away and we came home to a very happy dog and cat. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone. She is very responsible and someone you can trust.”
