“My puppy absolutely enjoyed her boarding, she cried on her way home when I picked her up. Susan and her kids took great care of my puppy. She sent pictures and updates multiple times daily. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Cristy is the best!! my little dog Mindy was very happy to stay with Cristy. I was especially pleased that Cristy sent me a couple of photos that showed how well Mindy was being cared for and loved. I am so thankful that I have become acquainted with the wonderful service that she provides. I know that at Mindy will be back as visitor.”
“Sasha was very caring for Dexter. She has so much love for animals and she’s awesome with communication and sending photos during the booking. Definitely using Sasha again she’s great!”
“MJ is such a a caring and wonderful person! She took great care of our sweet Mielo. She sent pics each day and made us feel at ease. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her next time we go out of town. Thank you for taking care of my baby!”
“Caroline kept Koda for a week and sent pictures and videos at least once a day. Koda takes a little while to adjust to a new environment, which means he didn’t eat at first. Caroline went to the store and bought him chicken to add to his food, which got him eating. Not only did Koda have a fenced in yard to run around, but they also went on walks. I would recommend Caroline and will book her in the future knowing Koda will be well taken care of.”
“This is our second time leaving our two dogs with Sam, and I can honestly say it’s such a relief to find someone I trust to care for them when I have to go out of town. We usually try to bring them with us, but sometimes that isn’t possible, and it eases a lot of stress knowing we have someone we trust to take care of them like Sam does. We will continue to book with her in the future. Our dogs are always at ease when they’re with her, and I can tell that she takes great care of them as if they were her own.”
“Luke was great with my dog Oscar and I received nice photos and a video of Oscar during this overnight stay. I knew Oscar was in good hands with Luke watching him. If I’m in the north Orlando area again for work I would definitely have Luke watch Oscar again if he’s available. Thank you Luke!”
“Andrea was so amazing. Not only did she make me feel at home when I brought my pupper over, she also fully described to me what the visit would be like and where Maizie would be. She sent me photos every day and her pups were so friendly with my girl. As an anxiously attached pet parent, Andrea made it so I could relax on my trip and knew Maizie would be okay. Thank you so much, 10/10 will be booking again”
“Karen watched my two miniature dachshunds for 5 days while we were away and made them feel comfortable and right at home! It was our first time using boarding services through Rover and were very happy with the experience and it really put my mind at ease knowing they were being well cared for and not locked in a cage all day. Thank you again Karen for taking care of our girls and keeping them happy and safe:)”
“So thankful for Christina and Oskar! They took great care of my baby Charley, gave us updates and sent pictures of how he was doing. They are very organized and detailed, making sure Charley had everything he needed and worked with him during his pickiness in eating.”
“Bama absolutely loves going to play with his friends. He comes home exhausted (which is a positive thing!). Other places we have taken him, he was stressed and anxious for days after he returned home. Not at this boarders! He gets so excited now when we ask him if he wants to play with his friends and runs to the car!”
“Mary is a wonderful pet sitter! I boarded my three dogs for 10 days with her & they were extremely well cared for. She has a very kind, gentle and friendly demeanor, lovely home and beautiful big backyard. All three dogs were happy, healthy, and very comfortable in their setting .I would highly recommend Mary!”
“Jen was so wonderful with communication and made it easy for me to add in an extra night. We can tell Snickers had the best time and is going back again later this week”
“Carmín was amazing! She is an excellent communicator and very responsive answering our questions and correspondence promptly. She kept us informed of how our pet was doing throughout her stay, and even sent us pictures that allowed for us to have peace of mind during our getaway. At pick up time, she had Zoey’s things ready and even had a checklist to make sure we left with everything we had dropped off. We appreciated every moment of our experience doing business with Carmin, from the initial contact, to the meet and greet time, and to the first visit to her home. The fact that she only accepts one family pet at a time gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Carmin, and will be using her again. Thank you, Carmin.”
“First time ever leaving my girl with someone other than family and could not have been more satisfied with the care Millie provided. To say Frankie was spoiled is an understatement! Most definitely will use Millie again!!”
“Sarah took in my 3 dogs for 2 nights. I’m really grateful that she did. It’s difficult to get time away when you have 3 dogs at home. I’m glad that she can provide this service for us and the dogs had lots of playtime. Thanks, Sarah!”
“Denys was available on short notice after previous sitter arrangements fell through. They were super easy to communicate with and took excellent care of my dog, Rusty. I look forward to using their services again!”

“Billy is THE BEST EVER!! Highly recommended! Will continue to have him walk my furbaby he takes really good care of my Boomer and communicates so well! He Goes out of his way! 10/10!!! Thanks so very much Billy!”
“Amanda was so great with our two cats! She was great (and a trooper!) with cleaning their litter boxes, refreshing their water bowls, and was so kind to also bring in our mail. She was always quick to respond to any requests or questions I had and was so good with our little ones. Having her come out to meet the cats beforehand was also very nice. I highly recommend Amanda if you need her to check in on your cat(s) while you're away.”
“Linda is very thoughtful and very good with our pets. She really cares and always goes the extra mile to make sure our pets are cared for when we’re gone. Linda even keeps an eye on the house while we’re gone and helps out with things while we’re away. Thanks for all the pictures of our pets and all of your hard work! Linda is the best!”
“Jenna was so patient with our kitties. They can both be shy and she did great making them comfortable around her. Jenna goes above & beyond by cleaning up after our messy girls. Truly appreciate Jenna and will be booking again soon!”
“Zach did a wonderful job with my anti-social spicy cat. Usually when I have a sitter watch her she comes running to the door screaming when I get home because she had felt so lonely when we were gone. Even though she didn't want pet, she appreciated Zach hanging out with her. Zach kept us updated with photos and went above and beyond asking detailed questions about preferences through out the entire experience. 10/10 would recommend for your pet sitting needs.”
“Jackalyn was a fantastic sitter for our two fur babies she was available last minute and gave me such peace of mind watching our kitties! Would highly recommend her and will definitely book again in the future when needed!”
“Extremely caring and considerate to the fur babies, she treats them like they’re her own. I felt very confident and relieved that my kitty had Carli to rely on while I was away, I could relax knowing that she’d be well taken care of. Thank you Carli!!”
“It was a great relief knowing that Bella would be checked daily while I was away and Orly did an awesome job of not only making sure her litter was scooped, she had food and water but also interacting with her and sending me updates and pics daily.”
About: I am a lover to all pets, but especially big dogs. Some people are scared of them, but I think that they’re the biggest babies ever. I’ve had one of my own so I know from personal experience. I’ve handled pets from the tiniest to the biggest so I love them all. I currently work full-time. But I’m a very flexible person and I have no problem with early mornings or late afternoons. I’m honestly OK with any time upon discussion. Just reach out! I care for pets in their own environment so they stay comfortable and stress-free. I follow their daily routine, give plenty of attention, go for walks or play sessions, and make sure they’re fed and happy. I also keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away.
“Lori and her daughter took care of our 15 year old cat and we were extremely impressed. They spent quality time giving Lola attention and went above and beyond. They communicated quickly and really put us at ease leaving our girl. We are really lucky that we found Lori!”
“Debbie was an absolute delight from start to finish. Constantly in communication with us she made me comfortable leaving my fur baby with her despite being so nervous. Also went above and beyond to meeting us outside her scheduled time. I have no doubt she'll do the same for you.”
“Gina is such a wonderful person. She is absolutely great with my cat. Gina is so kind and caring for her. She is very reliable and Luna is always excited to see her! There is no one I would trust more with my furry baby than Gina.”
“Sarah was GREAT! She is very quick to respond, helped us adjust our visits, and took great care of our Rosie! She even helped trouble shoot our auto feeder. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have always loved caring for animals. I had a French Bulldog for about 7 years, which gave me plenty of experience with the day-to-day care, attention, and companionship dogs need. I also currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past 2 years. I’m comfortable with different personalities and love getting to know each pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside and staying active. I’m able to make time for walks throughout the week and can work with different schedules and routines. I also enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than just another task. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. Before heading out for a walk, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and have everything they need. During walks, I’ll keep a close eye on them, use the leash and equipment you provide, and make sure they’re safe and happy. I’ll also treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Sasha was wonderful with my puppy and so kind and understanding throughout the entire day. My puppy can sometimes be a handful and requires a lot of attention, and she ended up having an accident in her house even after a walk, which I felt terrible about. Sasha handled it with patience and was incredibly considerate about it, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and easy to work with, responsive, and great at communication. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was being cared for by someone patient, accommodating, and genuinely good with dogs. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Brittany was a quick to respond to my questions and was very accommodating on my last-minute request. Once I met her, I felt relieved I had decided to bring my Chico along and leave him with her for the day while I went to an appointment. He was obviously in good hands.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Mia! She is highly communicative, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mia had an incredible day and came home happy and tired—which, as every dog owner knows, means she had a great time! Sarah also went above and beyond by accepting not one, but TWO last-minute bookings for me, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that Sarah genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mia was so comfortable and happy with her. We’re both very happy customers, and Mia is already excited to go back tomorrow! 🐾🐾🐾 Thank you, Sarah! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional Rover sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also worked in a dog kennel where I helped manage and care for 25+ dogs, which taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and handle different energy levels and personalities. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to follow their routine and give them the attention they need. I take pet care seriously and always aim to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My daily routine is super pet-friendly—I do all my homework from home, so your pet will have company and attention throughout the day. I also work out in my garage, which means I’m never far away and can easily take breaks for playtime, walks, or cuddles. I’m homebody at heart, so your furry friend will always have someone around to keep them happy, safe, and loved. In my home, I treat pets like family—giving them a cozy, calm space where they feel safe and loved. I keep a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles, and I always follow any special instructions you provide. When I’m in your home, I care for your pet the same way I would my own—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their favorite walking route, or giving belly rubs just the way they like them, I make sure they feel right at home.
“I made a last minute decision to have my pup go to doggy day care for the week while my other two dogs recovered from surgeries. Denys responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate our times which I really didn't think anyone would do. She is a great person and my dog loves her and her whole family. My pup came home happy and tired every evening and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Denys did a great job keeping up with Furia's potty training, I think she may have actually gotten my pup to be better about going outside. I never worried about my dog and any time I did text I got a quick response with plenty of updates. I really enjoyed chatting with Denys, she is so sweet and I can tell she really loves what she does. I would absolutely recommend having her watch your pet, I know my pup had no shortage of attention over there and I really like that.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Charlie. He was calm when I arrived to pick him up. Rachel reported that he ate his dinner with no problem and didn't bark once. Setting up the appointment was easy as was communication. Rachel provided a calm, safe, orderly environment for Charlie to relax and feel at home. And that helped me to relax, knowing he was well taken care of.”
About: Your pet is family when they stay with us, their Home Away From Home! My family and I are located in the Mandarin neighborhood in Longwood and our multi-generational home is the perfect spot for your pet to stay while you are away! You can be sure that they will receive excellent care, attention and love! I have over 20 years of pet sitting and pet care experience and feel a special connection with dogs. I grew up in a household of multiple pets where dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, mice and hamsters were all part of our family. I worked in the veterinary field for 6 years (2 of those in emergency care) and I am well educated in pet care and animal behavior. My husband and daughter also enjoy caring for out pet guests and will help give them extra love and play time. About this sitter: I am Carina, and my husband and I relocated from Seattle, Washington in 2018, where we ran a very successful pet sitting business. As a stay at home mom who homeschools, my daughter, husband and I care for and love on all the pups who come to stay, as if they were our own. We share our house with my parents, who are also animal lovers and help out with care and give love, pets and treats freely. It's like having doggy grandparents who love to spoil! Why I love dog sitting I have a deep LOVE for dogs and I love that pet sitting allows me to "try out" different breeds and get to know the different personalities that each dog has. I am sure this comes from my mom, who used to rescue animals from the shelter and at one time we owned 12 dogs and 14 cats. We lived in a farmhouse with land...so there was plenty of room. Our daughter has been helping pet sit since she was 2 (she started as a doggy snuggler) and has a deep love for dogs. She is a great assistant and takes pride in helping us care for and love on all the pups that come to stay. Meet my pets Our family shares the house with Jazz, Ozzie, Liberty, and a couple of cats who tolerate the pups. Our dogs LOVE other dogs (and people) and are happy to have friends come stay and play. Jazz is a boarder collie who is very energetic and friendly and loves other dogs. He has so much energy, that he can sometimes be overwhelming at first. However, he is well trained, loves to please and will do anything for a treat. He LOVES to run in the yard with new friends and is very fast. Ozzie is an English golden retriever who cannot resist a snuggle. He is very friendly with other dogs and people and while he likes to run and play, he isn't a fan of the heat. You will find him inside the a/c snoozing on the tile or trying to be a lap dog! He loves to snuggle with his new puppy, Liberty. Liberty joined our family this past November, 2025. She is a mini-dachshund and LOVES to play with other pups. She has two, very large, big brothers and so naturally, she thinks she is a big dog and runs around playing with the rest of the pack. Bella & Sox are our cats who get along with dogs, but they go ninja when we have doggy visitors. About my yard Dogs love our large fenced back yard as it is the perfect place to run, play and explore. We have a dog door that leads from our family room to the enclosed patio and fenced in pool, and another door that leads out into the yard. We try to teach every pup how to use the dog doors, however, since we are home 85% of the time, someone is usually around to let the dogs out at lease every 2 hours or less. When your pet stays with us, they are our focus! As a stay at home mom who homeschools, I am lucky to be home 85% of the time with my daughter, our pets and our guests. My husband also has a flexible schedule and works from home part time and loves to spend time out back playing with the dogs. My parents also have very flexible schedules and are often home when we are out. I would say that someone is home 90% of the time with the dogs. Our home is very pet friendly and a doggy dream come true. Our couches are covered for protection and we allow pets on the furniture (if ok'd by you!) and we have lots of comfy dog beds and blankets to share. Retractable fences have been installed so that we can keeps pets safe by keeping them out of the kitchen during cooking and meal times and away from the front door so we don't have any escapees. The back yard is fully fenced with lots of room to run, explore and play and we allow pups to swim in our fenced in pool during the hot summer months or play in a doggy splash pad. We make sure to ALWAYS feed all animals separately in closed off areas to avoid any altercations and we give lots of hugs. I do discourage bringing toys as it often causes fights. We have balls to share!
“Carmin was a superb Doggy Day Care host. I can see why she's booked all the time! Aside from the dogs enjoying themselves, she's a great communicator—always prompt in returning messages, and sending lots of photos, as well. We hope to see her again—if she has an open date!”

As a licensed massage therapist, Gypsy enjoys snuggling and rubbing the furry bellies. Keith enjoys daily exercise with your fur babies by playing chase, hide-n-seek and daily walks through our shady neighborhood. We feel every fur baby deserves a vacation full of TLC & FUN! I work from home and can provide 24/7 care for your fur babies. We enjoy providing a safe haven full of fun activities, lots of belly rubs and TLC. We have a large fenced in backyard for them to explore and play with their new friends they make as we help teach them social skills. Never a dull moment at our retreat. They are never left unsupervised. We believe your fur babies, deserve fun, safe and loving vacations too. Please contact us to schedule a meet and greet to prepare for future vacations.
About: I pet sit small to medium dogs in my home and yours if needed. I walk, exercise and play with them. Spend quality time with them. I do not cat sit in my home. I will go to your home and look after your cat. Litter change, feed and spend time with pet. As I mentioned, I do not sit cats in my house but I will visit your home and care for your cat in their environment.
“Kristina was very flexible with our evolving schedule! Our golden retriever had a great time swimming in the pool and playing with dog! Will definitely book again!”
About: **New clients, please read below!** I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have a 14 year old Shih Tzu of my own that I have cared for since I was a teen. I frequently dog sit for family & friends and I have experience with all kinds of breeds. In the past, I have cared for small and large breeds as well as senior dogs & puppies! A dog’s safety and well-being is my number one priority. New Clients: I cannot accept same day requests as I require a meet & greet prior to booking! I currently work from home Monday through Friday. Due to my work schedule, the following is how I currently accept bookings; Drop-ins/walks: Midday or evenings (after 5pm) for weekdays. Weekends can be anytime. Boarding/day care: anytime, given that I’m available. I can be flexible, so if you need extra accommodations I can definitely work with you. A meet & greet will be required for any new clients to make sure we’re a good fit! I live in a pet friendly apartment in a gated community. There is a vast grassy area behind my building and I have a screened in balcony that is loved by many pups. I make sure to keep all pets within my view at all times. I can assure that your pet will always be safe & gets plenty of love and affection from me :)
About: Paws & Claws Pet Care of Lake Mary I am mom to an adorable 18lb pup who I raised using the positive reinforcement method. In addition, I've always had pets since I was young. On most days I am currently available for drop-in visits from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm Monday to Friday. On Saturday and Sunday I have more flexibility. In June 2026 my schedule changes to Thursday and Sunday with open flexibility and 9:30 am to 10:00 am on Monday to Wednesday and Friday to Saturday. Safety is a priority for me. For boarding, dogs must have updated vaccines, be clean, and free of fleas, worms, mites, etc. During boarding with more than one dog, I always make sure that the new dog gets along well with the other dogs before the pet parent leaves. It’s best to know your dog’s personality. If your dog shows signs that they do not respect other pets boundaries even during play then group boarding may not be the best fit. For everyone's safety, health, and happiness, if the dog does not get along then the pet parent may need to make back up arrangements. For best practices, parents should always have a back up option in case things don't work out or if there is an emergency. To prevent the risk of dogs not getting along, the pet parent can offer to buyout the sitter at their full capacity. Other best practices to consider: For pups who are sensitive to minor sounds, it may be best to book them with a sitter who lives in a house versus an apartment. For dogs who are prone to potty accidents or excessive drooling, it may be best to book them in a home that has wood floors versus full carpeting. Pups who don't like to share attention would match best with sitters who except one dog at a time. Pets who have extremely high energy may be happiest with sitters who have a fenced in yard for them to run around freely.
“My wonderful, little 10-year-old Maltese came to us 2 years ago. While being lovable, quiet, happy, he also had panic attacks. He is much better now, but occasionally one does slip in with loud noises or new situations. This year, we decided to try leaving him with sitters. I share the panic information and give them information on how to handle a situation. With Debra, after the first sitting, he was calm and not in panic when I picked him up. And after the second sitting, he came bouncing up to me quite happy. This is quite an improvement for him. I’m not sure what Debra’s technique is, but her calm nature means she is the sitter I will use.”

About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
“With last minute vacation, we found Jackalyn and we love her and Chubbs adores her. Jackalyn is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves dogs. It's comforting to know that Chubbs is cared for like one of their own. The updates, photos, and attention to his needs give us complete peace of mind. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to care for your furry family member, I highly recommend them. Chubbs absolutely adores his walks, and we are so grateful for the wonderful service”
“Athena is wonderful! My dog usually doesn’t take to people very quickly… But he did with her! She communicates really well and updates me with pictures every time she is with Bowie! Strongly recommend! Will use her again.”
About: I've always felt more comfortable with animals rather than people. I've worked with horses off and on for years. I like dogs more than most people. I feel comfortable around dogs that many people are afraid of. I take a cautious approach to dogs and let them get comfortable with me before petting them. I enjoy letting cats be themselves and slowly come out of their shell. I'd like to think I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable around me. I'm eager to help you with your pets. Monday through Friday, I'm available from 4pm until midnight. On Saturdays and Sundays, I'm available from 7am until midnight. I love to take dogs for walks. I take my dog for a walk every day to my apartment's dog run where we play for at least 30 minutes. If your dog is staying overnight with me, I can make sure to take your dog to the dog run when it's cooler, right before sunset. I can watch cats in my apartment, too.
“Pam was very accommodating and replied quickly to my messages. I would definitely ask for her service again. She was very friendly and professional, while still being comfortable around.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and am confident handling a variety of needs. I can also provide medication administration and care for pets with special or medical requirements. I currently work from home so I’m available most days. I have 2 mixed labs myself. I like taking breaks and going on walks with my dogs. I am available for drop ins, house sitting, boarding, or walking! I am in an apartment that has a dog park that I take my dogs to daily. I have multiple leashes and may walk or take care of your dogs separately if needed!
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have always loved caring for animals. I had a French Bulldog for about 7 years, which gave me plenty of experience with the day-to-day care, attention, and companionship dogs need.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside and staying active. I’m able to make time for walks throughout the week and can work with different schedules and routines.

About: Our family has over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.
About: I’ve had fur babies for as long as I’ve been alive ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large pitties. I love all animals, but have the most experience with dogs. I’m a sucker for a good cuddle or kisses, as I’m sure you can tell from my pictures! I’m available for drop in visits and dog walking visits and would love to have some fun with your pet :) I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday, but am available on those nights if needed for drop-in visits and at anytime on Fridays and the weekend. I’ll treat your fur baby as if it were my own and provide the love and care they deserve and more! If your pet is anything like mine, they aren’t always comfortable with strangers so I understand the importance of working at their pace and making sure we build trust.
About: I am a lover to all pets, but especially big dogs. Some people are scared of them, but I think that they’re the biggest babies ever. I’ve had one of my own so I know from personal experience. I’ve handled pets from the tiniest to the biggest so I love them all. I currently work full-time. But I’m a very flexible person and I have no problem with early mornings or late afternoons. I’m honestly OK with any time upon discussion. Just reach out! I care for pets in their own environment so they stay comfortable and stress-free. I follow their daily routine, give plenty of attention, go for walks or play sessions, and make sure they’re fed and happy. I also keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of pets my whole life, including giving meds, changing diapers for those in heat, taken care of pets is cathartic for me and I love them. I'm a retired law enforcement professional looking to help make a difference for families knowing their pets are well-cared for and loved while their parents are away. Since retired, I have all the time in the world to do something more fun! I will do whatever your pet may need and want. I'm patient and kind, and know the feeling when having to drop fur babies off at someone house. I want to make sure to earn your confidence! Whatever instructions are given, I will provide exactly. I also try to play with them, walk them, ensure they feel safe. I have a safe non-smoking home with a great lanai to look at the conservation areas, and make sure there are no impediments to their safety and happiness.
About: I grew up around family pets and love them a lot. I have had cats for about 10 years now and even fostered some from the shelter. And I have helped take care of family and friends dogs, including walking some around my neighborhood. I am also Red Cross certified in dog and cat first aid. I just graduated college and work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to check in or walk dogs as needed. This also gives me a sense of purpose within my days I will treat your pets as my own! I am able to take care of your pets (cats and dogs) as they need it. I can walk dogs, give them food and water, play, cuddle, and anything else they might need while you are gone.

“My puppy absolutely enjoyed her boarding, she cried on her way home when I picked her up. Susan and her kids took great care of my puppy. She sent pictures and updates multiple times daily. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Cristy is the best!! my little dog Mindy was very happy to stay with Cristy. I was especially pleased that Cristy sent me a couple of photos that showed how well Mindy was being cared for and loved. I am so thankful that I have become acquainted with the wonderful service that she provides. I know that at Mindy will be back as visitor.”
“This is our second time leaving our two dogs with Sam, and I can honestly say it’s such a relief to find someone I trust to care for them when I have to go out of town. We usually try to bring them with us, but sometimes that isn’t possible, and it eases a lot of stress knowing we have someone we trust to take care of them like Sam does. We will continue to book with her in the future. Our dogs are always at ease when they’re with her, and I can tell that she takes great care of them as if they were her own.”
“Luke was great with my dog Oscar and I received nice photos and a video of Oscar during this overnight stay. I knew Oscar was in good hands with Luke watching him. If I’m in the north Orlando area again for work I would definitely have Luke watch Oscar again if he’s available. Thank you Luke!”
“Andrea was so amazing. Not only did she make me feel at home when I brought my pupper over, she also fully described to me what the visit would be like and where Maizie would be. She sent me photos every day and her pups were so friendly with my girl. As an anxiously attached pet parent, Andrea made it so I could relax on my trip and knew Maizie would be okay. Thank you so much, 10/10 will be booking again”
“So thankful for Christina and Oskar! They took great care of my baby Charley, gave us updates and sent pictures of how he was doing. They are very organized and detailed, making sure Charley had everything he needed and worked with him during his pickiness in eating.”
“Bama absolutely loves going to play with his friends. He comes home exhausted (which is a positive thing!). Other places we have taken him, he was stressed and anxious for days after he returned home. Not at this boarders! He gets so excited now when we ask him if he wants to play with his friends and runs to the car!”
“Mary is a wonderful pet sitter! I boarded my three dogs for 10 days with her & they were extremely well cared for. She has a very kind, gentle and friendly demeanor, lovely home and beautiful big backyard. All three dogs were happy, healthy, and very comfortable in their setting .I would highly recommend Mary!”
“Carmín was amazing! She is an excellent communicator and very responsive answering our questions and correspondence promptly. She kept us informed of how our pet was doing throughout her stay, and even sent us pictures that allowed for us to have peace of mind during our getaway. At pick up time, she had Zoey’s things ready and even had a checklist to make sure we left with everything we had dropped off. We appreciated every moment of our experience doing business with Carmin, from the initial contact, to the meet and greet time, and to the first visit to her home. The fact that she only accepts one family pet at a time gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Carmin, and will be using her again. Thank you, Carmin.”
“Once again, Paddy had a "vacation" at Adriana's while we were out of town. He loves his stays there and I am totally comfortable with leaving him in her excellent care. She is a wonderful sitter and I recommend her unconditionally!”
“This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Brian was amazing. He sent me updates and pictures several times a day, and my pups looked very happy. The best part of Brian’s service is that he works from home so my pups were with him all day. It made me feel good knowing that my pups weren’t in a kennel all day like they would be in at the pet resort I used in the past. I highly recommend Brian. He’s the best!”
“I want to share a special thank you to Lisa. This past Spring, Lisa was able to take care of our pup Milo on short notice, when we had to travel to New Jersey twice for a family issue. She has made us feel as if we are part of her family. I knew that Milo was taken care of, so I could focus on my family. Milo loves her and her pups. She is the best!!”
“Karina was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my Bruno and sent photos and updates regularly during his stay. She is also a professional dog groomer so she is able to offer those additional services to clients. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“He responded quickly ! And took care of my dog the same day I requested. He kept me updated and him and his family kept my dog entertained the whole time! I definitely will be using his services again 😊”
“My cat Rocky loves going to Maria’s. She took him at the last minute. Maria is great with him. She sends pictures and updates all day. I highly recommend her and we are using her again next month”
