“This is the second time our Luna has stayed here, and she was well taken care of. She was so excited to see Signe when we dropped her off. We got plenty of pictures of Luna playing in the yard and relaxing. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.”
“Moving is always hard, which makes finding an amazing sitter such a true blessing. So grateful to have found Katelyn she's awesome with our sweet boy Titus!! She spoils him and make sure he eats how sometimes he is very picky!! Thank you for taking great care of our boy we really appreciate you!! See you soon!! ❤️”
“Peggy was great again! This was our second stay with Peggy and she is awesome. My Lottie is an older cat with diabetes and is not the easiest to care for. Peggy just has a way of making Lottie feel at home which makes my time away more relaxed. Thank you, Peggy!”
“The night before I was to drop Thor off at a sitter, they had to cancel, so I was scrambling to find a new person to board him for two nights and Andrea agreed right away. She was amazing with him! She even offered to work on some training with him while he was there. Thor loved the yard and all the other dogs there to run around with. Andrea sent pictures and videos of him the whole time, which I really appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and Thor will definitely be back!”
“This was a short notice and quick stay for our Kiba but Madison made him feel very welcome! She sent pictures and they went on walks to get some of his energy out before bedtime! She was great taking care of our boy”
“Ashley is personable & great with our Lily. We usually don’t have her stay over on first visit but was very accommodating and great on last minute notice with situation. Ashley has an adorable little boy and great! Will highly recommend & will use again !! Thank you !!”
“My Binx girl had such a great time and I will definitely be boarding again when I’m in the area! Thank you so much for treating my dog like your own for a few days, I have no doubts she was well loved 🥰”
“Had a wonderful experience with Tim and Mariah! Their home was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, which made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They were attentive, providing updates and photos of my dog showing it felt right at home, and she looked so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I highly recommend Tim and Mariah to anyone looking for a warm and caring environment for their pet.”
“Nicole has been amazing with our dog, she was really nice since the moment I contacted her. She gave us lots of updates during the long weekend and some pictures. We’ll definitely contact with her again whenever we need someone to take care of our Ky”
“I can’t say enough great things about Chandler! Leaving my little man while traveling for a business trip was stressful, but Chandler immediately put my mind at ease. His genuine care, communication and attention made me feel completely confident that my dog was in the best hands. It’s clear he truly loves animals and treats them like family. I was able to focus on my work knowing my pup was safe, happy and well cared for. I’m incredibly grateful for the peace of mind he provided and would highly recommend Chandler to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Kyle and Laura pour all their attention into our fur kids. They take them for daily walks and play with them outside daily. They truly care for them as their own. They will always be our first choice when we need someone to take care of them.”
“Linda was super hospitable as always. Rosie had the best time and enjoyed the play time with other pups. I appreciate Linda’s flexibility and willingness to make schedule adjustments. Look forward to our next trip.”
“Laura was an excellent host for our high energy border collie and will definitely be going back to her when we need a sitter. She went above and beyond keeping our baby happy by sending frequent updates, pictures, and addressing all his needs. I couldn't be happier with her house and yard which offered a very safe and roomy environment to both run around and relax in. Thanks for being awesome, Laura!”
“Jeily has been amazing with our Pup! We were recently unsure about our travel plans returning from Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. Jeily assured us our Pup was taken care of, and adjusted our time. After experiencing massive devastation, the one item we didn't have to worry about was our dog.”
“This was my first time using Rover and was a little nervous about leaving our girls with someone we didn’t know. We’ve always boarded our two dogs(13yo and 4 yo) with our vet. Candace made the entire experience amazing. Instantly, I felt comfortable and at ease upon the first time our two dogs and I met her during the meet and greet. She took excellent care of our girls during the 11 day stay with her. She voluntarily sent several photos of them and reported in on how they were doing throughout the time she kept them. She was very accommodating with scheduling the drop off/pick up times and with administrating meds to them. She is our new permanent dog sitter when we travel. Highly recommend Candace!”
“I rarely need a pupsitter, and have a difficult time feeling comfortable with leaving our old girl, Cherry, with someone that she's not familiar with. Gabriella welcomed my husband, Cherry, and me into her home a couple of weeks before the scheduled stay and was so patient with us and open to learning about Cherry. For the actual pupsitting (Saturday/Sunday/Monday), the drop-off was seamless and communication throughout Cherry's stay was fantastic! I received many pupdates with videos and pictures. Our girl was treated like one of the family there, which we really appreciate. I recommend Gabriella (and family) for a top-notch loving environment for boarding. We will definitely reach out to her for any future boarding needs.”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs during Memorial Day weekend! From the very beginning, she was flexible, kind, and communicative. We met for a meet and greet beforehand, which gave us great peace of mind, and it was immediately clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. One of the biggest highlights for us was her large fenced backyard, which made us feel comfortable knowing our puppies had a safe space to play and explore. Ariel carefully followed all care instructions, asked questions whenever needed, and kept us updated throughout the stay with adorable pictures and messages, which we truly appreciated. Our dogs looked happy, comfortable, and loved and as a bonus, she even allows the pups on the furniture, which made them feel right at home! Ariel is sweet, attentive, and clearly experienced caring for both small and large dogs. We are so grateful for the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel has been a such a wonderful help with Luna. I can tell she is enjoying her time, and he helped me out with extending her stay due to airport delays. I will use Daniel whenever I need care for Luna. Thank you for everything.”

“This was our first time using Rover. We enjoyed getting to meet Dawn and appreciated her helping me with questions I had about using the service. She also did a great job with the kitties. She was dependable, made sure their needs were met, and took time to interact with them. One of our cats is very shy and timid but did eventually warm up to her which was great. We would definitely use her again.”
“First time using Rover and was not disappointed. Brendelle is kind and thorough as a pet sitter. She is an effective communicator and kept me updated on my kitties throughout our trip.

About: I adore pups of all shapes and sizes. I have extensive experience with all types of breed from minis to giant breeds as well as all ages from literally days old to seniors in their late teens In addition to dogs I also have experience with cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, goats and horses. I spent 18 months running a barn, taking care of 17 horses and the farm cats. In addition to my own pets at the time- two rabbits and a rescue cat. Since moving back to Florida I have managed to acquire more rescue cats I also have extensive first aid knowledge and am capable of giving oral or topical medications as well as intramuscular injections I now work in a vet’s office My current work schedule is 7:45am-6pm Monday- Wednesday & Friday. I also work 7:45am-12:30pm every other Saturday. So unfortunately my time during the week is limited and my availability would be best suited to older, lower energy dogs I unfortunately can not have any animals at my home. However, I find that staying in a more familiar environment is often less stressful for the animals. I treat every animal I care for as if they are my own- always following feeding instructions to the letter, ensuring constant access to fresh water, facilitating adequate and suitable play/exercise, as well as giving lots of snuggles. I have medical training and can assess injuries and treat minor wounds as well as stabilize for transportation if needed
About: Hello! My name is Patricia, and I love animals of all kinds. I’ve always had dogs ever since I could remember and have had them over 30 years during my adult life. I’ve had and taken care of chihuahuas, bull mastiffs, Jack Russell terriers, German Shepherds, an American Bull dog and the good ole “Heinz 57 dogs”! I’ve also owned a beautiful rainbow Brazilian Boa and a few cats. I feel pets are very much part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. My work schedule allows me free time during the week days to walk and care for your cherished furry kids. I can also provide care in the evenings and overnight, if needed. I’m passionate about providing the best care and will prioritize the safety and well-being of your cherished pets. I will follow your instructions as well as ensure your pets are provided the best care and attention. I prefer to care for up to only 2 pets at a time so I may provide them the love, care, and attention they deserve.

“Our usual pet sitter was away, and Ashley saved our trip! She was super responsive, helpful, and went above our expectations, especially when it came to getting our BB medicated on time! We also had one of our outside babies get rescued while we were gone, and Ashley checked in to make sure the poor baby was okay! With the time change for Daylight Saving, our time stamps were alllllll over the place, and Ashley helped ease all my worries. We would love for Ashley to come back to check in on our boys”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need training reinforcement to senior pets who require patience and gentle handling. As a veteran, I bring reliability, attention to detail, and calm leadership that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, supporting senior dogs with mobility challenges, and keeping up with energetic pups who need exercise and structure. What sets me apart is consistency—you can count on me to be on time, communicate clearly, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days so I’m available for morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening care. I'm home constantly, which allows me to focus on the needs of each pet. Whether it’s regular daily walks, weekend sitting, or last-minute bookings, I ensure pets receive consistent attention and care when their families are unable to be there. Safety and trust come first in every home I step into. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to ensure pets stay safe. I provide plenty of positive attention, consistent communication with updates and photos, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure. My goal is to give every family peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own.

I understand the importance of safety, patience, routines, communication, and treating every pet like family.

We have 6 acres of land where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air, while leash walks are always welcome and fun as well. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. As an RN, safety, cleanliness, communication, and attention to detail are extremely important to me, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.
“This was our first time using Rover & Sami was great with Bridget! She took the extra time to update me multiple times on how she was doing during her visit and sending photos. Bridget got a walk and enjoyed her time visiting with her new friends. I would highly recommend using Sami if you are considering it!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have always been the one to call to babysit my friends, family and neighborhood dogs and cats. I currently have a chocolate lab named Daisy and a Rescue lab mix named Buddy! I’ve been trusted to take care of all types of dogs and their needs. I’ve had the opportunity to care for an elderly blind boxer for a few years which required around the clock care. Making sure she was able to navigate through her home safely . I’m very comfortable with giving my undivided attention to any dog and their specific needs. I’m comfortable with taking dogs on long walks, playing with them to get their energy out, and giving any required medications I have just recently moved to Florida due to my husband’s job.

So in the meantime when not searching for a job, I have plenty of time to take your dog(s) on walks and give them all the attention they need. I am free anytime of the day to take your dog on walks and or go visit and love on them while you are away. If your dog is staying overnight with me I have a 4 year old chocolate lab named Daisy, who is very playful and friendly. Daisy loves to play with other dogs. So your dog will not only get walk time, but have plenty of play time. Our yard is fenced in but I am always outside watching the dogs play.

About: I’ve grown up with animas from geckos and rats to horses and pigs. With this knowledge and love for animals I am a looking to become a reliable sitter for some amazing furry family. I have proven experience providing care for different animal species and a willingness to learn as I go. I’m offering routine or on call care in my home or yours. Currently waiting for college to start in the fall and have open availability and flexibility to care for your pets.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was young, babysitting pets often and a professional dog walker with a company called “fetch” in Maryland. I also worked in a veterinary practice in Maryland and have experience with elderly and sick cats and dogs. I currently have no pets, so have an empty nest and we are looking for some company! I work from home full-time so I am available for walks and giving affection to pets at all hours of the day. My husband Also works from home and loves pets, particularly cats. We are a young active couple new to Florida!– walks and running are a regular occurrence for us. We do not have children so we have lots of time and energy to give to a pet! We recently had to put our cat down after 19 years and have found the house too empty! We have a very large home and a very large yard that is clean and safe. None of our neighbors have dogs and your pet would be able to go outside with us for walks on a leash or in the backyard. We have space for a crate in the home and lots of space for pet beds. We do not have any pets at home so can accommodate boarding any type of pet.
“Mariah & Tim were wonderful. Very open in the meet and greet. Rosie seemed comfortable and came home happy and tired. Mariah’s communication was terrific, providing text updates and photos”
“Wonderful place for our pup. Ladeana was able to take our Eeve short notice for a day while we were on vacation here and she was amazing with Eeve. Can’t wait to rebook her when we are in town again!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! Growing up, we had just about every kind of creature you can think of. Outside of my own miniature zoo, I’ve fostered both dog and cats over the last 10 years for various rescues. I’m currently a full time online college student at UWF so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home most of the day outside of my kids school pick up and drop off’s. My pets are a huge part of my family and being a military family, I understand the need to trust who’s taking care of them. I will happily send as many updates and pictures as you want! Our home is on 2.5 acres with a sizable section fenced in plus a trail through the rest of the property for leash walking. Dogs are never outside without supervision for both mine and your peace of mind. All of our dogs are very people and dog friendly. They are all also crate trained so if there’s a need for me to leave the house they can be put up. We have a spare room and a climate controlled garage if your furry friend needs a break or some space but there’s plenty of space in the living room for everyone to hang out.

About: I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust when it comes to your sweet pups! I offer more than just a service; I provide a safe and loving home away from home for your fur babies. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest assured that your best friend will receive all the care and commitment they deserve. I’m here to help and let’s be honest—spoil them rotten! I’m a lead dental assistant for an amazing local dentist in Pensacola, Fl. We have great working hours: Monday-Thursday. My husband works from home and is available during the day to keep your pup/pups company. We make a great team ❤️ He loves the pups being here with us just as much as I do. I also have a pup cam that I use to check in on them if I ever need to step away for a short period of time. I spoil them rotten to be honest. All the love, all the hugs, kisses, and belly rubs. If your pup likes to walk—we will walk! I live near Spencer Field which has a great walking path around it, and I usually take the pups for a walk around it a few times a week if they are able. I also live very close to Benny Russell Park which has many paved trails—the pups love to go there! If your pup likes to relax—that’s what we will do. I cater to all the pups that stay with me.
About: Hey Y'all! I'm Jennifer a lifetime local mom of four and dog mom of an aussie pup., I've helped care for my mom's senior dog a pom named Tootsie for the last few years too! I'm mainly available for drop ins and limited to extended sitting and care to every other week because of my kids. I have mama vibes that the furbabies respond well to! I'm reliable and have a lot of energy and a flexible schedule. I'm centrally located in north/central milton but I'm in east Milton and north Pace regularly! I have a flexible schedule, I usually sub during the school year and do odd jobs. I have my own transportation as well. I love animals. I can check on pets, feed them, give them potty breaks and walk them. If they just need company I can provide that as well.
About: I’ve spent a lot of my life around animals, and taking care of them has always felt like second nature to me. I’m a warm, gentle person, and pets usually pick up on that pretty quickly—they relax around me, and I take that responsibility seriously. What really sets me apart from other pet caretakers is how much I genuinely enjoy the little things: learning each dog’s quirks, paying attention to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet with the same patience and kindness I give my own. I'm a college student with a really open schedule, so I'm available for walks most days. Just tell me what time works for your dog and I can usually make it happen. When I meet new pets, I let them come to me at their own pace so they can get comfortable. I'm patient and gentle, and I pay attention to their cues to make sure they feel safe.
About: My husband and I have been doing Rover for over three years now! We previously lived in NC. I’ve owned dogs/cats until old age and have been around animals my whole life. I have a 9 year old lab, and adopted a 8 year old pug through dog sitting on this app. And finally we joined the Frenchie gang as well. I love animals and would love to help with your needs. If you are in need of care and it says I am not available, just message me and I will see what I can do, my preferences on here I have set just to avoid driving certain distances (gas prices) but we could possibly work something out, don’t hesitate to reach out! Also, for safety purposes we do not take in intact males or in heat females because my boy Remi is also intact. We apologize for the inconvenience but safety for everyone comes first! I do prefer pick ups/drop offs/meet and greets for my husband to be present for safety purposes, so if I ask if times can be modified I apologize, it’s to accommodate to when he will be home! Our pups occupy their end of the house, yours can occupy the rest! Safety comes first for me so let me know your preferences. However you care for your pet in your home, if applicable I will do the same if needed. I understand dogs need routine to avoid stress. *PLEASE NOTE!!! If you have a male dog that is not neutered, he will be kept SEPARATE. In some cases or most cases we still possibly will decline the sit if it will be difficult to keep separate. I understand it is hard to find care because our male is also not neutered so I want to make it easier for people like us! So please understand that it is for both of the dog’s safety and peace.

I absolutely adore animals and love to make new friends. I don't currently have a job outside of doing this, so I have super flexible hours. I would love to take care of your baby anytime that I don't have prior engagements. I am very careful with pets in client's homes. I always take extra attention to make sure they're not in things they aren't supposed to be in, or doing things they aren't supposed to do. Their safety is my priority, number one. I love playing with fur babies, and taking them on fun, safe ventures outside to get some exercise in for them.
About: I adore pups of all shapes and sizes. I have extensive experience with all types of breed from minis to giant breeds as well as all ages from literally days old to seniors in their late teens In addition to dogs I also have experience with cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, goats and horses. I spent 18 months running a barn, taking care of 17 horses and the farm cats. In addition to my own pets at the time- two rabbits and a rescue cat. Since moving back to Florida I have managed to acquire more rescue cats I also have extensive first aid knowledge and am capable of giving oral or topical medications as well as intramuscular injections I now work in a vet’s office My current work schedule is 7:45am-6pm Monday- Wednesday & Friday. I also work 7:45am-12:30pm every other Saturday. So unfortunately my time during the week is limited and my availability would be best suited to older, lower energy dogs I unfortunately can not have any animals at my home. However, I find that staying in a more familiar environment is often less stressful for the animals. I treat every animal I care for as if they are my own- always following feeding instructions to the letter, ensuring constant access to fresh water, facilitating adequate and suitable play/exercise, as well as giving lots of snuggles. I have medical training and can assess injuries and treat minor wounds as well as stabilize for transportation if needed
“Kristi is amazing! I will definitely be asking her to sit for me again. She was extremely friendly and accommodating. My fur babies love her, and she gave me so much peace of mind.”

About: I am a life-long animal lover and have always had several pets in my life at any given time. I have often cared for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family - from cats and dogs to chickens to reptiles - not to mention the occasional stray that has come home with me while their family was located. I am experienced with tasks from feeding to bathing to administering medications. I teach at the college level and have summers off. I love my time off but like the idea of pet care to stay busy and active. My summer schedule is wide open and ready to fill with walks, feedings, playtime, and whatever else your pets may need. I believe that maintaining a regular schedule of care for your pets is the most beneficial to their comfort and well-being. Therefore, I focus on following the schedule of feedings, medications, walks, and playtime that you lay out for me. I also place high importance on treating your home and pets as I would my own.
About: I’ve grown up with animas from geckos and rats to horses and pigs. With this knowledge and love for animals I am a looking to become a reliable sitter for some amazing furry family. I have proven experience providing care for different animal species and a willingness to learn as I go. I’m offering routine or on call care in my home or yours. Currently waiting for college to start in the fall and have open availability and flexibility to care for your pets. If looking to keep your pet at my home for an extended period notice would be appreciated. I own my home and have a wonderful German shepherd who is very friendly and happy as well as 3 kitties who are the sweetest and snuggliest ever. I live in a neighborhood with plenty of space for walks. I am comfortable with administering medication if needed and am flexible on the care requested of me.
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I have been alive. I am more doing this to help those with cats as I have a house full of them and have a hard time finding help for them than for my dog when going on vacation. I volunteer with an animal rescue and can administer shots as well as give meds to cats and dogs. I have 3 cats and 1 big dog and normally about 5 fosters that I work with. If you hire me for drop ins I will make sure to sit with your pets and give them lots of love or play whichever they need. I am active duty Navy for 17 years and counting, very caring and trustworthy.
About: I have helped take care of dogs since I was little, I've had dogs, cats, and ferrets growing up. I used to dog sit for my neighbors and family friends as well. I'm currently working as a Toddler Teacher in a daycare and I want to put my 2 week notice in and do dog walking as much as I can. I'm available on week days before 1pm for right now. I'm not available to bring pets into my home because my fence is broken and I dont think my cats would appreciate me bringing a strange dog in my house. While walking dogs, I always make sure they aren't over heating, they stay hydrated, and that the road or sidewalk isnt too hot for their paws. I will have my own bags with me to clean up after the dogs anytime they have to potty.

Jeily assured us our Pup was taken care of, and adjusted our time. After experiencing massive devastation, the one item we didn't have to worry about was our dog.”
“This was my first time using Rover and was a little nervous about leaving our girls with someone we didn’t know. We’ve always boarded our two dogs(13yo and 4 yo) with our vet. Candace made the entire experience amazing. Instantly, I felt comfortable and at ease upon the first time our two dogs and I met her during the meet and greet. She took excellent care of our girls during the 11 day stay with her. She voluntarily sent several photos of them and reported in on how they were doing throughout the time she kept them. She was very accommodating with scheduling the drop off/pick up times and with administrating meds to them. She is our new permanent dog sitter when we travel. Highly recommend Candace!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs during Memorial Day weekend! From the very beginning, she was flexible, kind, and communicative. We met for a meet and greet beforehand, which gave us great peace of mind, and it was immediately clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. One of the biggest highlights for us was her large fenced backyard, which made us feel comfortable knowing our puppies had a safe space to play and explore. Ariel carefully followed all care instructions, asked questions whenever needed, and kept us updated throughout the stay with adorable pictures and messages, which we truly appreciated. Our dogs looked happy, comfortable, and loved and as a bonus, she even allows the pups on the furniture, which made them feel right at home! Ariel is sweet, attentive, and clearly experienced caring for both small and large dogs. We are so grateful for the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel has been a such a wonderful help with Luna. I can tell she is enjoying her time, and he helped me out with extending her stay due to airport delays. I will use Daniel whenever I need care for Luna. Thank you for everything.”
