About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.
About: I have taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a house full of 4 dogs and I was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with my furry family as well as other dogs in our community. I have experience in pet-sitting, neighborhood walking, bathing, boarding, and trick training. I am working part time (mostly in the evenings on weekdays), so I have plenty of time to play with and provide care for your furry friends! My schedule leaves me available on weekends, mornings and afternoons. I have experience crating dogs, administering medication, giving treats and commands, as well as handing dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable with any and all pups!

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a kid and have loved them for as long as I can remember. I have an adorable Italian Greyhound/Shar Pei mix who I adopted from Humane Society, have been trusted by friends and Rover members to care for their dogs, and have spent many hours volunteering at various shelters and rescues, most recently at Humane Society in Tampa Bay. I’m pursuing a degree in dog training, am preparing my pup to become a service animal, and have dedicated my life to working with animals. Dogs are my heart, and I’ll show yours as much love and affection as anyone can possibly offer. Warning: They will be spoiled! I am currently working full-time on Rover and have a flexible schedule. I'm ideally looking for long-term clients, but am open to your occasional needs as well. I live in an area that's ideal for long walks and is close to Hyde Park Village/Bayshore Boulevard, have access to a backyard for your pup to roam and play, and live in close proximity to various dog parks. I have a car and am available for walking, boarding, and home sitting needs.
About: I am well experienced will challenging or hard to understand animals. I grew up with animals of all types and ages on a farm. Helping with shy animals is also a gift!

I spent a lot of time as a housekeeper when I was in high school so I am familiar with being responsible in other peoples homes.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm the go-to for friends and family when looking for pet-care and I'm no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. I work freelance in Tampa, and live in Melbourne when I'm not working. When in Melbourne I can walk, house-sit, and play with your pet, however when I'm in Tampa, my time during the day is sparse. I can walk, house-sit, play with, and feed your pet. I love taking dogs to the dog park or the beach by my house. I'm more than happy to perform any chores you need for your pet.

About: I have a special place in my heart for all types of dogs (and cats)! For the past 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs from chihuahuas to corgis to english mastiffs, and many different dogs in between. While I watch dogs I like to give them a lot of attention by either walking them, taking them to a dog park, playing with them, or practicing their tricks! I love to give dogs the attention they deserve! I currently have the flexibility of working from home, which makes helping you care for your furry friend that much easier! Due to the seasonality of my work, I currently don't have pets of my own, so I am so much more excited to help you care for yours!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and farm animals since I was young! I currently own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. Perfect for those last minute occasions that pop up. Available whenever needed to take care of your fur baby! The health, wellbeing and safety of your animal is of my utmost concern. I’ll always have your dog on a leash outside (unless you have a fenced in yard) and monitor their reaction to the environment. If there’s anything “off” about your pet I’ll notify you ASAP.

“Amanda has watched my dog, Jeebie, on multiple occasions, and I cannot recommend her enough! Jeebie a seven-year-old who likes to act like she’s a big dog, but definitely has some issues with separation anxiety when I leave her with certain people.
