About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.

“We were very happy with the care Jhanayra provided! She was very reliable, arriving on time every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were on their regular feeding schedule. Jhanayra sent updates, and it was clear our cats were loved. We will be reaching out next time we are away.”

“Autumn was super helpful for both of our pups with letting them out and giving them some company. Hazel and Willow seemed to enjoy her visits and we highly recommend Autumn’s services.”


About: I’ve had experience with many animals, including cats that are older and younger, small dogs, big dogs and had a husky of my own. I also do take care of many reptiles so I know how tedious instructions may be for food or care. I have a great communication skills to let you know anything during the process and as a service worker my goal is always to have the best expectations for you and to meet them. I am currently an online FIU student studying biology to become a zoologist and I have a very open schedule and just looking to have fun with cutest fur babies! I have a very big home open to all animals. I also have a big fenced yard to keep all animals safe. Asking for routines regarding their bathroom schedule feeding schedule and special instructions are always appreciated. Would love to keep them comfortable and on track when they return back home with you!
“Valerie did a great job checking in on my two cats. Was very responsiveness in communication and provided updates each visit. She made my absence easier for both me and them.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of different dogs ranging from size, breed and personality. It brings me great joy spending time with dogs making it a pleasure to take care of them. I’m currently working part time, so I have typically all of the early afternoon till night time to spend time with your pup! This can be during the week or on weekends too. I provide lots of playtime and engagement at the clients home depending on the needs of the dog. I am very attentive of them ensuring their safety and happiness.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 30 years and I have a huge heart for dogs. We have always owned dogs and they are a part of our family. I have wide range of experience; from raising/house training puppies to specialized diets and administering medications to elderly/sick dogs. I used to be in the education field but am now home and looking to help with animals since they are something I’m truly passionate about. Our pets live in our home, sleep in our beds and are part of our family. We feed our dog twice a day, he eats a combination of dry and fresh food. We walk him daily and let him out multiple times a day, as needed. Our cat eats dry food but we also feed her soft food twice a day and clean her litter box daily. We spend a lot of time with our pets, playing, cuddling and making sure they feel loved.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for many years now. I used to clean houses and sometimes they would incorporate dogs/cats in them. They are the sweetest critters in the planet I’m currently a student and I work part-time but i will never hesitate to take my dog on a walk to the park or just a little play time. I am always home and in a five person household, i am the one that feeds both pets and walks the dog. I live in an apartment but I am very attentive to my pets. I own a cat and a dog, both are collared and dog is leashed at all times.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around animals my whole life. Since 2023, I've volunteered at the Doral Pet Adoption and Protection Center, where I walk dogs, feed and groom animals, clean kennels, and give animals the love they deserve. Working at a shelter means I've dealt with all kinds of animals of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, so I'm comfortable handling pretty much any situation. I also care for cats regularly and know that they require just as much attention as dogs, just on their own terms. I genuinely love what I do, and rest assured that your pet will be well taken care of. I'm currently doing online school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am generally available most days of the week. If something comes up that affects my availability, I'll always give you a heads up in advance so you're never caught off guard. Since I come to your home rather than board pets at mine, your pet stays in their own space where they're most comfortable. I'll follow your routines, keep everything secure, and check in with you regularly.

“We haven’t used anyone else because Maria has been more than wonderful. She is very communicative, responsible, courteous, and truly an animal lover. I can only dream that anyone else will be this amazing with us and our babies. Thank you Maria 🫶”

“Ricardo and Carlos were fantastic! They dropped in to check on my cat and were incredibly timely and reliable throughout. I really appreciated their attention to detail and the care they showed—my cat was clearly comfortable and well looked after. It’s not easy to find people you can fully trust with your pet, but I absolutely do with Ricardo and Carlos. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and thoughtful sitters!”

She was very caring, and sent pictures on a regular basis to ensure me that my dog was in good hands. She played with my dog. She answered all of my calls and gave me regular feedback as to as to my dog’s condition. I highly recommend her.”

About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life and have been caring for family and friends' pets since high school. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. I'm especially good with nervous or anxious pets and take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur-babies, so I follow routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions you provide.

You can also count on regular photo updates and communication, so you'll always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine.

I'm also available on weekends and enjoy spending that time getting outside, going on walks, playing, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk after work hours, or care while you're away for the weekend, I'm happy to help! I treat every pet like part of my family. In my home, they get plenty of love, playtime, and safe access to the yard, with routines like meals, walks, and rest followed closely. I make sure nervous or shy pets feel calm and comfortable, and I’m always nearby to supervise and give extra affection when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully, keep your space tidy, and provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved.

University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Priscilla accommodated a last-minute request, which we were incredibly appreciative of. Our Casper was so well taken care of she was extremely punctual, attentive to his needs, and so loving and patient with him. She spent quality time with him, and you could truly tell he enjoyed her company. We greatly appreciated the care she provided, as well as how respectful she was of our home. She was very responsive throughout the entire experience and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She was amazing, and we highly recommend her! We are thankful we found her!

Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!
