She really made sure my dog Maverick was having his own little vacation. I will definitely be using her in the future and highly recommend her services. Thank you Vasti!”

“The reason why I give Linda a 5 star rating is because of these five main things: 1. The initial introduction and meeting with me and my dog at her home was extremely pleasant. Also, drop off and pick up was smooth. 2. Her home and area she lives in is very clean, quiet, and dog friendly. 3. Linda clearly has tons of pet care experience and loves pets. For example, she slept with our dog all night. 4. Our dog is older and needs special food and medicine, and Linda easily handled that. 5. Linda would send pictures often so we could see what our dog is doing. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Linda and will continue to book with her.”

About: I have years of experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful kittens to shy or senior cats. I understand feline behavior and make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Feeding, litter changes, playtime, and plenty of affection are always part of the routine.

“Kelli was great! I already have her booked for my next two trips to keep my cats fat, dumb and happy. Seriously, she was thorough and left great feedback and photos daily.”

About: I have raised dogs all my life. I also have years of experience with cats, reptiles, and rabbits. I have potty trained many dogs and I’ve even taught my furry friends a few party tricks. Come and see! I work full-time as a school teacher. I am home on Saturdays and Sundays (aside from church) every week. Weekends are the best times to book boarding appointments with me. I am also available during major holidays. I have a fenced-in backyard. I have two small dogs (under 15 pounds) and cats. I can separate my cats from your pet during the day if needed (as I have a furnished garage that they chill in). I also have a work sink where I can give animals under 20 lbs. baths. I live in a suburban environment in Dunedin, FL and I have extra medium-sized crates.
“Brooke and Cody were fantastic with my cats while I was away on vacation. My cats were well-cared for and the picture updates after each visit gave me peace of mind that my boys were doing okay while I was away. I will definitely use Brooke and Cody again the next time I go out of town!”


About: Ive been taking care of kitties since I was 10 years old, I understand the want for you baby's to be safe and well cared for. I have volunteered at animal hospitals, shelters and rescues since I was 14 and I truly have a love and passion for taking care of the furry creatures of the world.
“Lisa was amazing! This was my first time using this app and it far exceeded my expectations. Lisa sent us daily pictures and updates that made missing our kitty so much easier 💚 I felt like my cat was in the absolute best care possible and we are so grateful to Lisa. I can't recommend her enough! We will certainly use her again the next time we leave town. Thank you Lisa!!”

About: Being around animals is truly a passion for me. I have a special place in my heart for animals and would have more of my own if I could. I have dog sat and walked several area families. I always appreciate knowing if any dog/cat needs special attention of any kind. It is helpful for both of us. I believe animals should be a part of one's family and I treat them all as family. I have a good size grassy fenced in yard to host your dog for the day or week. My schedule is flexible which allows me to be home certain days to accommodate your pet in my home or yours. I’m open to caring for a variety of animals with proper instructions. I am capable of handling more than one dog or cat. If you need a specific routine to check on your dog or cat please just let me know and I will do my best to accommodate those needs. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have for a safe and enjoyable visit in my home or yours! My yard is spacious and safe for all dogs. Please indicate if you have a dog that you prefer to play and exercise in the yard or if you would like me to take them around the neighborhood for a nice walk for exercise.
“We've had a great experience with JD and Magda! They've treated Gus like he was their own and made him (and us) safe. They are quick to respond with any communication and try their best to be accommodating. Also their two dogs are super friendly and Gus loves having them to play with.”

“Jennifer was communicative with caring for our baby Luna. I can tell she and Olive had a great day playing together! We definitely recommend! Your pup will be in great hands with Jennifer.”

“Marissa was amazing! We needed dog sitting for a day, she responded right away with availability. The whole time she had our dog, we were getting updates and photos. When we picked our dog up, he wasn’t ready to leave! We will certainly be using her again”

“As someone knew to the city and state with a new puppy to boot along with another dog, I was nervous about last minute accommodations. I have found a second home for my Gertie! Coming from an apartment environment, she has a whole yard to run and play in and the hosts are exceptionally great and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them to anyone. If there are more stars, I would give them to them. I am looking no more for anyone else. Trust me you will be happy and so will your babies.”

She arrived right on time, took plenty of pictures and even worked with my puppy on eating with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Valarie for your next dog walking/sitting needs! Thank you, Valarie, for taking such great care of Sperry, Bear and Buc! 😊”


“Jordyn has been walking Murphy for a few weeks now, and she has been amazing! Murphy is happy when I get home and I get reports of each walk! I love that she is very communicative and updates me timely as things comes up.”

“We contacted David to help with our dog, Bella Mae, for a couple days last week as I had minor surgery and could not walk her. David was nice enough to stop by prior to scheduled time and meet us and Bella. He is a fine young man who clearly loves animals and was great with Bella Mae.”

“Mia has been such a dependable and caring walker for both my boys! I trust her completely with both of my dogs! Thank you Mia for being such a great dog walker for our family!”

About: Ive been taking care of cats & dogs since I was 10 years old, I understand the want for you baby's to be safe and well cared for. I have volunteered at animal hospitals, shelters and rescues since I was 14 and I truly have a love and passion for taking care of the furry creatures of the world. I am currently working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your baby. I have every Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I only work 4-6 hours at time. I unfortunately cannot board your animal at my house but I am more than willing to come to your house to take care of your pets. :)
“Jessica has been an absolute blessing! Blue (our dog) loves Jessica and waits patiently for her arrival each day. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will walk rain or shine. Unfortunately Blue doesn’t do the rain, Lol!!”

About: I will treat dogs like part of the family, I am free at home and I have time to engage with the dogs not only watching them. I can take them for long walks and provide love and care. I am doing it for love and not only for money, I can’t have my own dog for now so I want to enjoy them in my life as much as I can without a commitment for now. Be sure that your dog will be in safe hands and will not feel left alone. I prefer small to medium dogs because my apartment is not so big but enough space for one small or medium dog. I would love to take care of your dog, waiting!
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, over 50 years of walking, sitting, and spoiling pups of all shapes and sizes. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies because I treat every dog like my own. Your dog will be in warm, experienced hands and I can’t wait to meet them and hang out with them! Tell your dog I say hi! I’m currently available seven days a week with a fully flexible schedule. Whether you need an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or last minute coverage, I can make it work. Your dog’s routine is my priority! I come to your home so your dog stays comfortable in their own familiar environment. I respect your space, follow your routines, and keep you updated throughout every visit. Sleepovers are no problem; your pup will barely even know you’re gone!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even exotics ever since I was a child. My major in college was Biology and my first job out of college was a Zoo Keeper. I then became a dolphin trainer working and training several types of dolphins, river otters and pelicans. The past two years I have been a Vet Technician working at a large animal hospital. Animals are my passion in life so any chance I get to be around them, I will! I am currently a full time student again and also working four days a week. Any free time I get I enjoy getting outside or relaxing. I am mainly free on week nights and some days depending on class schedule. I will not be watching pets in my own home due to having a cat myself that gets stressed around other animals in his own space. I will watch other's pets at their home and follow their instructions as given.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, patient, and caring dog walker who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for my own Rottweiler mix, Luna, as well as two Labrador Retrievers. I’ve also helped care for family dogs, including Rocky, a Shih Tzu, and Linda, an energetic Golden Retriever puppy. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely walk, needs extra exercise, or simply needs a potty break during the day, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated with photos and messages after each walk, and treat your dog like one of my own. My goal is to make every walk enjoyable while giving you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week. I can often accommodate last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. Whether you’re at work, out for the day, or just need an extra hand, I’d love to help keep your dog active, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are secure and comfortable at all times. I also follow any routines, instructions, or preferences owners provide so pets feel safe and cared for.
“Adrianna is very awesome with my puppies. She is very attentive and responds quickly and is punctual. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!! Thank you!!”

“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”

About: We've had a dog in our home for most of my life. And so has many of our family and friends. So holidays and get togethers are always fun with all the fur babies running around. I had a 100 pound German Shepard so big dogs are no problem. He's made us very familiar with the vet office. From regular allergy meds to cut open paw pads that need daily cleaning and treatment, he's given us years of pet experience. I've owned dogs who live for long walks and dogs who prefer playing fetch in the yard instead. The cuddly ones to the stand off ish ones. Senior dogs who need assistance walking and extra health care too. I love all dogs and will pet any one I see... with permission of course! Love me some cats too! Currently have 3 cats, so the litter box is a familiar place for me. I'm also a master at cat play time! I work from home full time so I'm always able to give my pet or yours the attention they need when they need it. I'm available for afternoon drop ins to full days of sitting. I understand the peace of mind knowing someone is taking good care of my pet when I can't be home for them. I want to offer as little disruption to your pets routine as possible. Whatever your guidelines are for your pets needs I will strive to meet and exceed them so your pet stays happy and healthy!
“Joe is an outstanding pet sitter. We recommend him highly! Leaving our dogs Queso and Figgy in the care of a sitter is always a stressful experience. Not with Joe! Joe arrived to meet our dogs and instantly formed a connection with our French Bulldogs (and us). Joe embraced his duties as a pet sitter with tremendous enthusiasm and attention to detail. Joe made sure he was completely acquainted with all aspects of our pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and behavioral idiosyncrasies. Joe took special care to make us feel comfortable and confident that all was in good hands. Joe has a flexible schedule that fits well with duties as a pet sitter. Joe was able to time regular visits thoughout the morning, noon, and evening hours. For each visit Joe sent messages and photos which provided us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. When we returned home, all was in order and our boys were happy. Joe’s love of animals is apparent in every feature of the care he provides. Joe is one of those special people who takes the extra time to provide an abundance of love, affection, attention, and belly rubs to our best friends. If you can manage to book Joe, you will be very pleased and fortunate in your selection of a pet sitter!”

About: I work full-time from home, I love the outdoors, music, and dogs. I grew up having dogs and my boyfriend and I do have a dog together. He loves other dogs! He is very friendly and not aggressive at all. He enjoys having company! I can do weekdays and weekends. Our dog loves dog parks, I have no problem taking yours along with us! I do require the use of a crate for when there is no one home, it just ensures that both dogs are safe and not getting into any funny business - especially with one being in a new home. Also, please be transparent about your dog's energy levels. Since I do work from home, knowing your dogs typical temperament is extremely helpful to ensure I can properly care for your pup! Have no fear, your pup will be well taken care of! It fits pretty seamlessly. My son is at school most of the day and the flexibility in my schedule allows me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve! I rely heavily on the direction of the owner. I think it's best to keep the dogs schedule as similar to what they experience at home. Of course I use my own experience and judgement situationally, however, I have found consistency is best.
