“We had such a great experience with Lexus! She stayed at our home for several days to care for our two dogs while we were on vacation & we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept the house tidy, gave us frequent updates with pictures, and her warm personality really shined the minute our dogs met her. They liked her right away and were completely comfortable around her. 💕 We’ll be recommending her to our friends who need sitters & we will definitely call her again the next time we need a sitter! 10/10!”
“Hailey was so sweet and attentive with my cat and I could tell from the photo update that where sent that my little girl was content and having fun. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Per her usual exceptional self, Kenya went above and beyond for our senior Shiba Inu. Sadly, we had to help Whitey transition over the rainbow two days later. When we told Kenya the news, she was so thoughtful and reminisced how much she liked sitting for our almost 17 year old boy. Knowing that she appreciated sitting with him for his last week brought us a lot of comfort too. While we have decided to hold off on getting a new dog for a while, we want to spread the word that Kenya is one of the most caring, attentive, genuine, professional sitters in Orlando. We highly recommend Kenya for anyone looking for a sitter. Five Stars!”
“Alyssa is a great dogsitter! She housesat to take care of my dog and really took care of her and my home as if it were her own. Would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“Oh my gosh! Where do I begin! Kiri is seriously the best! Anyone looking for a trustworthy individual to watch their fur babies, she is the one to call ❤️ She updated me when she could about the dogs and sent pics/videos to let me know they were well taken care of. She also went above and beyond by cleaning after herself and washing her dishes and vacuuming before she left! I didn’t even ask her to do it! Kiri is 100% a true rover employee and I will always try and have her every time now! Thanks girl!”
“Susan took great care of our home and pups! Great communication throughout her stay and you can tell she really cares for the babies she’s watching. We will be using her again!”
“Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time. Traveling with the comfort, knowing that my pup was taken care of meant everything to me. Thank you, Marie!!”
“Extremely pleased with their work! Laiana and Del communicated and sent lots of pictures and videos. We were able to enjoy our time away from home knowing Bingo was in the best hands and home!”
“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”
“I can't sing praises enough for Michael. We typically make arrangements for dogsitting well in advance. This time, one of our sons was house/dogsitting. He had to be taken to the hospital, had emergency surgery, and is still hospitalized. Our other son and his family work full-time and couldn't stay at night. I made arrangements with Michael from a cruise ship in the Eastern Caribbean, which meant we couldn't do a meet and greet ahead of time. Our other son met up with Michael to introduce him to the dogs. Michael took great care of our dogs and our home while we were gone. He was very communicative. It's good to know we have an excellent option for care next time we're going away. Looking forward to actually meeting him in person next time. I highly recommend him if you're looking for someone to care for your furry family members. Thanks again, Michael.”
“Dwight is extremely accommodating and friendly. He goes above and beyond to take care of our dog, Keaton. We know Keaton will be in amazing hands when Dwight is taking care of him. We hope to have Dwight care for Keaton for more vacations and long days of ours in the future!”
“We are absolutely delighted with Maria! We left our beloved dog, Ami, with her for two days while we were at an amusement park. I was extremely worried, as I had never trusted Ami with someone new before, but Maria immediately found a way to connect with our girl. Maria is a very sweet, kind, and responsible sitter. She was always communicative and regularly sent us photo updates of how they were spending their time. This truly helped put my mind at ease! Ami didn't just get along with Maria—she was literally showering her with kisses! This is the best sign that our dog felt comfortable and secure. We will definitely be booking Maria again and recommend her to everyone!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and love being around them! I have experience with dogs of all ages from newly born to elderly and well as small dogs and big dogs. I am great with playing with and walking high energy dogs or chilling out and comforting low energy dogs. I also have experience with multiple cats from young to older. I have a part time job at night so I can spend most of the day with your pets. I truly love being around animals and would love to help with any pet needs you have! I have a part time job. My schedule changes weekly but my shifts start early morning and can swing by after shift to let pets out! I am pretty flexible since my schedule changes weekly. I treat every animal like my own making sure they are loved and cared for in a time that can be stressful for some. I make sure to follow instructions of crating if needed or keeping to the animals typical schedule to easy nerves and anxiety while away from owners.
“Danny did an amazing job watching our crew. We have three dogs, one being a puppy, and he had no problem dealing with our chaotic house. He even sent daily pictures so we could see everyone while we were gone. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of our Doberman Max. We were in an Airbnb located in Orlando and she was able to take care of my boy. Also, we arrange an extra time and was late night and she was fine with it. Do not hesitate to contact her to take care of your four legged friends. :)”
“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”
About: Home Full-Time – Calm, Cozy Stay With over a decade of pet experience, I treat every dog and cat like my own. I work from home full-time in Lake Ivanhoe, where pets enjoy a calm space, daily walks on red brick streets, and a securely fenced yard. I send daily photo updates and stay in close touch, so you always feel connected. I specialize in one-family bookings, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. Your pet will feel safe, loved, and right at home here. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I work from home, so I’m around for regular walks, playtime, and care. Living in Lake Ivanhoe means your pet enjoys peaceful strolls along the red brick roads, nearby parks, and quiet neighborhoods. It’s a calm, safe environment perfect for both cats and dogs to feel at home. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I work from home full-time, so pets are rarely left alone. My fenced-in yard allows for secure outdoor time, and I take dogs on daily walks through the peaceful, red brick streets and parks of Lake Ivanhoe. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding to play to any special instructions — and I’m especially mindful of creating a stress-free space, especially since I also have a young daughter at home. Only non-aggressive pets are accepted for everyone’s safety.
“Laura saved the day for us! She wasn’t supposed to come until later in the day, but with the winds from the tropical storm from Hurricane Ian, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my babies for a few hours alone. And Laura totally responded and showed up hours before, so that I could leave for my trip with ease on my mind. The babies had a great time and were loved, held and cuddled plenty. Thank you, so much Laura!!!”

This is the second time Tanya has taken care of my dogs, and I couldn’t be happier! She makes me feel so comfortable every time . my dogs absolutely love her, and i do too. I’m so glad I found her here in Orlando. It’s such a relief to be able to travel and not worry, knowing my pups are being spoiled, happy, and well cared for.
Dwight did a great job taking care of my two corgis! It was super last minute at a hotel, I was going to be busy with other stuff. He came in clutch. He followed direction perfectly and updated me on everything ! Gave them lots of attention and walks too. Will definitely use him again if need be and I’m in the Orlando area.
Hailey was great! This was our first time using a dog sitter as well as the first time having someone stay in our home that wasn’t a friend or family member to help out. She made us feel comfortable with both our dog and our home in her hands. Great communication and it was obvious our dog had a great experience as well. We are lucky to already have her booked for a future trip :) thank you Hailey!
This is the third time that Michael has watched our dogs, and he is always very responsive and takes great care of our dogs and our home. This time in particular, Michael was extremely understanding as our travel plans changed last minute due to canceled flights, and his flexibility saved our weekend.
Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time.

We had a wonderful experience with Kaia! She was very attentive and loving to our dogs and communicated with us often! It is evident that she takes the responsibility we entrust in her seriously, and her love for our animals shined through the pictures she sent! Highly recommend!
Tyler is such a lovely person, our pup Titan ran up to her and liked her right away which is so rare. We did a meet and greet prior to her house sitting which definitely helped the process go smoothly. She kept us updated throughout the day and night with photos while we were gone which made us feel reassured that Titan was in great hands. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
