“Jessica and her family were life savers… they took care of my boy when I needed it the most. 10/10 definitely booking her again in the future and highly recommend for your fur babies!”
“Amy was amazing with Peanut! You can definitely tell she's very loving towards our furfriends. We had 0 worry during Peanut's stay because we knew she was in great care with Amy. Will 100% recommend :)”
“Melissa is meticulous at updating with pictures and notes while watching our dogs. She really spoiled them lol with treats, walks and belly rubs. Will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had to help take care of dogs my entire life… Growing up, our family always had larger breeds of dogs which taken care of was part of my responsibilities in my adult life. I have had my own dogs… I currently do not have any dogs though. I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I have flexibility to come home during the day. and I am finished each day by 2:30 I live in an apartment under a house with a very large yard, but not fenced in… My landlord‘s upstairs do have a big Doberman, but he is super friendly. I can only accommodate pet friendly dogs at my home.
“Jaime is an angel! She took great care of my senior Yorkie Tank (13 YO). Although my request was last minute it went through seamlessly and later she was able to extent his stay with no problem. Her vet tech experience was incredibly important for my baby’s medical condition. She also trimmed his nails for me. I asked for numerous updates which Jamie provided through text, photos and videos. She even went to pick up his wet food when he didn’t eat the dry food I provided. She lives on a yacht and has an excellent setup for fur babies. Now I brag to everyone how my baby boy spent his summer vacation on a yacht 😂.”
“Victoria was excellent, my boys are very spoiled and sensitive but she kept them happy and entertained all the time, I could tell they had a good time when I picked them up. She kept me updated about them and sent pictures all the time. I will definitely leave them with her when I'm in key west again.”
“Very very good! My dogs are hard to attach to new people but they both had no issues with both Brendan and Gaby. Both sitters were very patient, kind, and sweet to by dogs and my dogs seemed to love them. They walked, played, and got along well with their sweet doogie. Beautiful place not all the way into Key West, it was very easy to get to. Would definitely use Gaby and Brendon again. They are hands on with the dogs, both work from home so the dogs always have company. Super Sitter!!!!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I was extremely nervous but had no other option. Upon meeting Elizabeth for the first time, it put my mind at ease that our Penny (a 9 year old Boxer) would be well taken care of. Elizabeth was prompt with her responses. Through out Penny’s stay she sent us pictures, which we appreciated. I will definitely use her when we are in Key West again. I highly recommend her to anyone inquiring about her services. Thank you Elizabeth and River.com!”
“Belinda was great! She was able to watch Teddy for us last minute, and was quick to respond. She kept us informed on how Teddy was doing, and made sure to send photos to let us know he was having a good time.”
“I don’t have the words that truly and accurately convey how great Betsy is. I joke that Reagan and I have separation anxiety from each other, but honestly, leaving him when I travel is just so hard on me. Well, Betsy has put my mind & anxiety at ease! She is incredibly sweet and patient with my rescue, and in turn he trusts her immensely and is beyond comfortable when he is left with her. Her home is his home. She sends about a billion photos, and I never found myself thinking “Gee I wish I knew what Reagan was doing right now.” because of her great communication, which is great because most of the time when I’m out of town, I'm thinking of Reagan. His comfort and happiness is the most important thing to her when he is there, and finding someone that loves him as much as I do is something that I can’t put a price on. If you haven’t booked with Betsy, you’re missing out.”
About: I love dogs! I'll love on them, take them hiking, run with them, etc. I have been caring for dogs, mine and others, for over 15 years, from Jack Russels to Great Danes! This includes, long term and daily visits, helping train and giving medicines. I grew up with family pets and always had several of my own at one time. My own sweet dog is 15 years old and still going strong and I also have an adventurous little cat. Fun fact: They are both international travelers and have been to 6 other countries and traveled more than half of the United States and lived on a sailboat for over 5 years with me. I have open availability for visits and walks for dogs of all ages and sizes. I am great at training puppies and caring for seniors. I love to stay active and outdoors so taking your pups with me is a fun way to spend time doing just that!
About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!
“Christy took care of my dog, Lady, over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent me plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lady looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. The communication was great, and I truly felt that Lady was in loving hands. I’m very pleased with the service and would absolutely recommend Christy to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!”
About: From as early as I can remember, dogs have been at the heart of my life. I believe every moment with them matters. Hi, I’m Shay. I’ve lived in key west 10 years and have lots of pet experience! Find me on Instagram - shewolfcanineservices Fun fact about me: I am currently studying dog behavior and psychology and moving towards becoming a certified dog trainer! I focus on creating walks that are both physically stimulating and mentally engaging, tailored to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and needs. I make sure each walk is a safe and positive experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in every interaction. For me, dogs are more than pets—they’re companions, teachers, and a source of endless joy. Being able to support their well-being is not just my work, but my passion. My schedule is flexible and does change often. However, Sometimes I get called into work so if I am watching your dog, you have to be okay with me leaving my house and allow me to work my other job. Though this does not happen often. If it does I will let you know. As I do with my own dog, I come back after work, let him out and give him love and attention. That’s what your dog will get from me as well. If I am gone too long, my boyfriend would is just as dependable as I am will let the dogs out and feed them. He helps if I need help, but I rarely ever need help. I have 3 different size crates at my place (small, medium, large) so if I need to crate your dog before I leave my house, let me know. I will care for your pup as directed and will provide a peaceful environment for them as well as playtime, nap time, and keeping a consistent schedule. I will provide stimulation as needed based on the dogs energy levels.

“Lindsay was very professional and was very good at looking after our kitties while we were gone. She provided regular photos and written updates and got our kitties to trust and spend time with her in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend her without any reservations. She also alerted us when a tree fell in our yard. She is the best!”
“Alyssa did an awesome job. I had never had to hire a sitter I didn’t know, and I felt nervous about it. She cared for my kitties for a week while I was out of the country. She sent updates with pics regularly and left my home impeccable. I hope she will house and pet sit for me again in the future.”
About: I have lived in the keys for over 12 years and have helped many residents find dogs to adopt and have helped with training and exercising dogs.

Let's discuss what I can do to assist you and your furry friends in living your best balanced life together. I work from home so I can easily take a break to let your dog out or take him for a run or walk. I can even take him to a sandbar or a paddle board ride. Dogs for boarding or day care in my home will be based on a case by case basis. I will come to your house as many times as needed to care for your pets. Dogs that come to my house will be exercised in whatever way they need, I have a fenced yard. I prefer to have over night dogs crated...but any over night dogs will be screened prior to make sure it's a good fit.

I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me. I’m extremely responsible and cautious while walking and playing. I’m a bartender so most days I’m free and would love to spend the off time walking and caring for animals. Exercise for both of us. I am extremely responsible and reliable. Always courteous and respectful. I would care for any animal as if it were my own, and treat them and my surroundings with the upmost respect.
About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.

About: I house sat for multiple neighbors when I was in high school. Since then I have house sat or helped friends with their pets through out the years. These jobs were always just as favors, but they would return to me for the job they needed. I come from a family with lots of animals. We always had dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses growing up. All for pets and I love them all! ☺️ I work from home part time. Thus my hours for this job are very flexible. I would prefer to work mid day between 10:00-2:00 MTWF I can not accommodate in home services. Due to roommate’s dog sometimes having an issue with other animals and sometimes not having an issue with other animals. Thus I can not risk there being an issue with your animal.

“Lisette truly saved our vacation! We found ourselves in a tough spot when our sweet elderly dog became too anxious to stay alone in our rental. With almost no notice, Lisette stepped in with warmth and calm reassurance, welcoming our pup like family. She was patient, gentle, and incredibly attentive — sending us updates that let us relax and enjoy our trip knowing our girl was safe and loved. It’s rare to meet someone so caring and trustworthy at the last minute, but Lisette exceeded every expectation. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness and the peace of mind she gave us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves and understands dogs!”
“BELINDA WAS AMAZING! We can’t express our gratitude towards her and her care enough. We needed a last minute accommodation for our pitbull baby and found Belinda on rover during our Key West stay. She was quick to respond, and from the moment we met her we LOVED her energy. She sent us pictures throughout the day and brought so much peace of mind. From all the pictures we could tell our fur baby was so so happy and comfortable. Belinda was just so sweet & we will definitely be contacting her for our key west stays! You’re baby will be in the best hands”
“Kate and her family cared for our two dogs while we went Whitewater rafting for the day. We were traveling with our whole family, and it was nice to know they were cared for while we enjoyed a little fun on our vacation. We were fortunate to find Kate on Rover while we were visiting the Jackson area.”

Beyond basic care, I bring a spiritual and therapeutic approach, ensuring every pet feels safe, balanced, and nurtured. For me, being a pet sitter is not just about looking after pets — it’s about creating harmony, comfort, and genuine companionship.” I am currently working part-time And I am an artist. So I can organize my schedule for you as long as you let me know with days. ⸻ “I am a professional pet sitter and spiritual therapist with 9 years of experience in Pet Care.

I believe every animal deserves not only physical attention but also emotional balance, harmony, and compassion.” I have a guest bedroom I love clean spaces, so your baby will be safe and loved .
“We really felt comfortable leaving the girls all day with Ms. Rejane. She even sent picture of both girls allowing her to hold them. That I’m itself is an endorsement from the girls!”
“Elsa was so great with Lola,my 3 month old puppy, took her to the park played and played with her made her a little bed to sleep on and have her chew toys on and sent me pics and videos through out the day. Will use her again.”
“It’s not easy to leave your baby with a stranger. But the moment we met Sonja at a prearranged meet and greet location, she was a stranger no more. We could not have asked for a better experience. Biscuit was treated like family. Sonja sent us a collage of the highlights of Biscuit’s day with her new friends, Sonja’s own two pups and another guest. The best photo of all was Sonja and Biscuit on a pink flamingo float in her pool. Sonja is bubbly and pleasant, accommodating, and responsive. She obviously loves animals. You needn’t hesitate entrusting your precious pet(s) to her care. I only wish that she lived in Fort Myers so that Biscuit could visit with her regularly.”

“David was our very first Rover experience and we couldn’t be happier! He came two days prior in order to meet us and the dogs and was able to develop a quick rapport-not easily done for our two senior, cautious dogs! On the day of booking, we were going to be away from cell service (Dry Torugas) so we were somewhat nervous. David, and the dogs did great. He sent pictures and left notes. He is a warm, friendly, responsible dog-lover. Highly recommend when you are visiting the Florida Keys.”
About: I’m currently a pet mom of 2 awesome pups and also have multiple grand pups and cats! I grew up on a farm raising every kind of animal imaginable and have continued my love for all animals throughout my adult life. One of my current pups is deaf so I have experience with special needs and my daughter works at the local vet which offers me extra perks as well. I absolutely love all animals (probably more than humans😜) and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am self-employed and work from home so my schedule is super flexible. I can stay at your home for overnights or simply come visit your babies every couple of hours for walks, feeding and playtime. Depending on your pet (dog only), I can also bring them to my home for playtime with my pups. I am super attentive (maybe too attentive!) and very cautious when dealing with any animal. I understand they are your babies and safety is number one! If we visit my home, my dogs are super friendly sandbar dogs and I have a fenced yard for everyone to play.
“Dawn is very prompt. She’s consistent with the time of day that she comes. She’s a blessing since I work 10 hour days. It’s a relief to know she cares about him and looks after him so well”
“Fast response, meet and greet went really well and great communication both before and after the walks. Arrived on time, I am sure the dogs enjoyed their walks, got a couple treats after, full water bowls and they were supper happy when we got home. Thanks!!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.
About: I have always been a pup enthusiast, I grew up with a huge black lab, Luke. He was the best dog ever, I’d love to take him for walks and play! As an adult I have many dog friends, my sister has the most beautiful pit bull Sadie. I’ll go to her house when I’m in town and take the dog out, Sadie loves when I’m around!! My boyfriend’s parents have two massive Great Danes, we walk them and take care of them all the time. I just have a huge heart for all of our four legged friends. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me. I’m extremely responsible and cautious while walking and playing. I’m a bartender so most days I’m free and would love to spend the off time walking and caring for animals. Exercise for both of us. I am extremely responsible and reliable. Always courteous and respectful. I would care for any animal as if it were my own, and treat them and my surroundings with the upmost respect.
About: I house sat for multiple neighbors when I was in high school. Since then I have house sat or helped friends with their pets through out the years. These jobs were always just as favors, but they would return to me for the job they needed. I come from a family with lots of animals. We always had dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses growing up. All for pets and I love them all! ☺️ I work from home part time. Thus my hours for this job are very flexible. I would prefer to work mid day between 10:00-2:00 MTWF I can not accommodate in home services. Due to roommate’s dog sometimes having an issue with other animals and sometimes not having an issue with other animals. Thus I can not risk there being an issue with your animal.

About: I’ve had to help take care of dogs my entire life… Growing up, our family always had larger breeds of dogs which taken care of was part of my responsibilities in my adult life. I have had my own dogs… I currently do not have any dogs though. I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I have flexibility to come home during the day. and I am finished each day by 2:30 I live in an apartment under a house with a very large yard, but not fenced in… My landlord‘s upstairs do have a big Doberman, but he is super friendly. I can only accommodate pet friendly dogs at my home.
“Victoria was excellent, my boys are very spoiled and sensitive but she kept them happy and entertained all the time, I could tell they had a good time when I picked them up. She kept me updated about them and sent pictures all the time. I will definitely leave them with her when I'm in key west again.”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I was extremely nervous but had no other option. Upon meeting Elizabeth for the first time, it put my mind at ease that our Penny (a 9 year old Boxer) would be well taken care of. Elizabeth was prompt with her responses. Through out Penny’s stay she sent us pictures, which we appreciated. I will definitely use her when we are in Key West again. I highly recommend her to anyone inquiring about her services. Thank you Elizabeth and River.com!”
“Belinda was great! She was able to watch Teddy for us last minute, and was quick to respond. She kept us informed on how Teddy was doing, and made sure to send photos to let us know he was having a good time.”
About: I love dogs! I'll love on them, take them hiking, run with them, etc. I have been caring for dogs, mine and others, for over 15 years, from Jack Russels to Great Danes! This includes, long term and daily visits, helping train and giving medicines. I grew up with family pets and always had several of my own at one time. My own sweet dog is 15 years old and still going strong and I also have an adventurous little cat. Fun fact: They are both international travelers and have been to 6 other countries and traveled more than half of the United States and lived on a sailboat for over 5 years with me. I have open availability for visits and walks for dogs of all ages and sizes. I am great at training puppies and caring for seniors. I love to stay active and outdoors so taking your pups with me is a fun way to spend time doing just that!
About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!
About: From as early as I can remember, dogs have been at the heart of my life. I believe every moment with them matters. Hi, I’m Shay. I’ve lived in key west 10 years and have lots of pet experience! Find me on Instagram - shewolfcanineservices Fun fact about me: I am currently studying dog behavior and psychology and moving towards becoming a certified dog trainer! I focus on creating walks that are both physically stimulating and mentally engaging, tailored to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and needs. I make sure each walk is a safe and positive experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in every interaction. For me, dogs are more than pets—they’re companions, teachers, and a source of endless joy. Being able to support their well-being is not just my work, but my passion. My schedule is flexible and does change often. However, Sometimes I get called into work so if I am watching your dog, you have to be okay with me leaving my house and allow me to work my other job. Though this does not happen often. If it does I will let you know. As I do with my own dog, I come back after work, let him out and give him love and attention. That’s what your dog will get from me as well. If I am gone too long, my boyfriend would is just as dependable as I am will let the dogs out and feed them. He helps if I need help, but I rarely ever need help. I have 3 different size crates at my place (small, medium, large) so if I need to crate your dog before I leave my house, let me know. I will care for your pup as directed and will provide a peaceful environment for them as well as playtime, nap time, and keeping a consistent schedule. I will provide stimulation as needed based on the dogs energy levels.
“Donna and Gary were wonderful for our Belgium Malinois! They were very friendly and calmed our nerves by sending pictures and updates while they watched our pup. Knowing that our dog was in good hands while we toured key west was the cherry on top of our vacation!!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned a Husky, Lab, and Jack Russell Terrier, so I understand how different each breed's personality and needs can be. I'm comfortable administering medications, reinforcing basic training commands, and working with anxious or nervous dogs to help them feel safe. What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every dog I walk. I don't just provide a service – I build relationships and treat every pet like they're my own. I run my own business from home, so my schedule is flexible and pet care fits right into my day. I can offer morning walks, midday visits, or evening strolls depending on what your pup needs. I also live on base, so if you’re stationed there too, I’m able to get on base easily for walks, no extra coordination needed. Safety is my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings, watching for other animals, traffic, and potential hazards. I respect your home by following your specific instructions – whether that's wiping paws before coming inside, securing doors and gates, or maintaining your dog's routine exactly as you've outlined. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I'm reliable, respectful of your space and belongings, and always communicate clearly about how the walk went. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.
