“Elizabeth was great with my dog! Kept me updated on how my girl was and very patient with her as my dog was a little nervous at first when she got there for her walk. I received a picture of my girl and even an update on my cat! I will definitely rebook for her to come see my dog for a walk!”

“Micah is always so helpful when we are out of town. She takes our sweet pup on daily walks and send lots of pictures. She always responds quickly and often on short notice. She really does make our life easier and makes being away less stressful knowing that our pup is in great hands!”

About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. I’m available early mornings, evenings and weekends. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming. I try my best to stick to routines already placed and will navigate to create a routine that fits both you as the owner and I as the pet sitter.

“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”

About: Grew up with dogs (dachshunds, German Shepard, mutts) . Have 3 grand dogs (Quinn & Archie, Jack Russells, Maggie tree hound), who I love spending time with back in Massachusetts. Unfortunately we recently lost Quinn due to age and illness. I know he is waiting at the Rainbow bridge for us along with Sasha, Truffles, Harry, Solo, Skippy, Maestra, Toi, Chichi, Heathcliff and the other birds, turtle, goldfish that I loved in the past. I miss being with them and would love to spend time with dogs again. For past 24 years have been mother to several cats who are my furry children. I understand that dogs are not just our pets, but family members that you love like children. I am also available for cat sitting, including feeding, brushing, playing, cleaning litter boxes.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.
About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.
“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent time volunteering at dog shelters, which has helped me understand and connect even more deeply with our furry best friends. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves playtime, or prefers snuggles and a calm walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs! I’m reliable, gentle, and truly passionate about what I do. I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐶💖 I’m home all day, everyday since I study from home. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, and it fits perfectly into my routine. I have two super friendly Shih Tzus. They love meeting new furry friends and are great at keeping other dogs company! But if your pup prefers their own space, no worries I can easily keep them separated to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s requested by the owner. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, trips to the park, or just some relaxing cuddle time. My home is full of love, and your fur baby will be treated like part of the family!

I can feed, play, and protect your pup while you’re gone! I’m a full time student at Valencia College East Campus and am involved in clubs on campus with University of Central Florida, but most of my classes are online and I have plenty of free time to come let your dog out very often!!

My roommates and I currently have no other pets so your puppy will get lots of love and attention!

Tigertown dog parents share their Rover experiences
She’s a phenomenal and very trustworthy dog walker. I just moved to the area and was nervous to find someone that could check on Letty multiple times a week, and sometimes last last minute. Ruth has been amazing and has been very trustworthy. She always sends me pics from their walk. Letty also loves her and is super excited to see her everyday!

Clearly my gaggle of animals love Sydney. :) I appreciate the pictures of my big boy on his walk and looking entirely too happy 🤣 Definitely will recommend Sydney to my neighbors and family and look forward to having her in our lives to help take care of the babies. ❤️ Thank you, Sydney!

Taylor is an absolute gem! Leaving my dog, MacKenzie, fir the second time with her, while I was out of town used to be a major source of stress, but Taylor completely changed that. From our very first meeting, her warm, friendly demeanor put me at ease. It was clear she genuinely loves animals, and MacKenzie took to her immediately. What truly sets Taylor apart is her exceptional responsibility and care. She didn't just walk MacKenzie; she truly cared for her. I received regular updates, complete with adorable photos and videos, which not only reassured me but also brightened my day. She followed all my instructions meticulously, which I really appreciate. Beyond the basics, Taylor went above and beyond, even brought in packages we received. It's clear that she treats every dog in her care as if they were her own. Thanks to Taylor, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that MacKenzie was in the best possible hands. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional dog walker. She's not just a dog walker; she's a dog lover, and that makes all the difference. I will absolutely be using her services again, and again!
