Perfect for high energy dogs - Dismal Key
About: I’ve had 3 dogs since the 90’s. My vizslas both lived to be 14 and my beagle lived to be 18. Best years of my life I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. My home or yours. Overnights are my specialty. FaceTiming with your baby anytime you are feeling the need I have a fenced in yard and a pool if your baby enjoys swimming in a separate outdoor area that is enclosed. Supervised of course. I don’t have any pets at this time. I will watch yours exclusively
“Michele and Leo were phenomenal. I am in town visiting and luckily found this magical place to leave my baby. Harley loved playing with her new friend April (another yorkie). Michele sent multiple photos of my dog relaxing and taking over her home for the delay. I am forever grateful for this positive experience. Thanks Michele! We will have to come visit again soon.”
About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and cats my entire life. I’m patient and loving and if your dog or cat needs a comforting place to stay, I’m your girl. I allow pets on furniture and to cuddle in bed. I have two Cavalier King Charles who are friendly and playful to keep them company. Accidents happen and if they do I will handle it with a gentle approach if your dog is a puppy or a senior. I am not working during the summer so my days consist mostly of cuddling in the couch with my pets, home workouts and walks with my dogs. I walk my dogs on leashes on the sidewalk and occasionally take them to the dog park. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am careful when I open my doors and ensure that each dog is leashed before opening the door to go outside for a walk.
About: The well-being and happiness of animals are my priority, as it is something I truly enjoy. I am committed to providing responsible and attentive care, adapting to the needs of each pet. Whether during walks, playtime, or moments of companionship, I offer a safe, calm environment full of dedication. 🐾💙I have always been surrounded by pets in my family for a long time. Currently, I don’t have any pets because I plan to travel a lot next year, but in my heart, I still feel the need to care for or be accompanied by a little furry friend. 🐾💛 If there are any needs for your pet, don't hesitate to let me know, I am open to any requests all to ensure a happy and safe stay... I currently have a part-time job that varies a lot from week to week, so sometimes I have quite a few free days when I’m at home with my computer. I usually adapt well to each client’s needs, so the daily routine whether it’s just walks, daytime pet sitting, or in-home care varies depending on each owner’s requests. 🐾
“Irisbel was amazing with my dog! Everything was perfect from start to finish, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Great communication, very caring, and professional. I’m extremely happy with the experience and highly recommend her. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time!”
“This is the second time that I used Laura. My dog was really excited to see her again! He gets lots of attention from her kids that love playing with him. I trust her completely to watch my pup and will continue to use her.”
“Max had a wonderful time with Renee and Toby. You can tell that Renee is a pet lovers. She is a very loving and caring person, Renee took Max on daily walks (which he loves) and she sent me many messages and pictures (which I loved). I would definitely recommend Renee to others. I found a great sitter and Max made a new friend (Toby).”
About: I've been an animal lover and a pet owner for many years - started with my cat Sophie, then fourteen years with my Yorkie, "Little Squishy Guy", through all the puppy antics, vet runs, and lazy couch days...until he passed last summer. Now I dog sit for friends and neighbors: walks, treats, cuddles. Yours gets that same warm care. I can only host dogs under 40 lbs. I'm retired and mostly home, so I'm flexible - your pet can get walks, feeds, or playtime whenever you need. I'm here most days, so no rushed schedules or surprises - your dog gets steady attention. Mornings are good for walks or breakfast, afternoons for play or rest, evenings for quiet time. Late drop-off? Early pickup? No problem. I'm not leaving. I board pets right here at my house - daytime or overnight. It's quiet, clean, secure: we hang out on the lanai, soaking up beautiful weather, fresh grass underfoot, and the beautiful water view. No loud noises or strangers - just calm space for walks, meals, potty breaks, or chilling together. I live alone and retired, so I'm gonna be hanging out with your dog all day. Your pup gets one-on-one attention.
“Im so happy I found Marijana to take care of my little boy. She is so good and nice to them. I know my baby was really happy staying with her. She kept me updated about how my boy was doing. Totally recommend her. And when I need someone to take care of my boy I will definitely go with her. 🙏💙”
“I am what most would call an “over-protective mother” when it comes to my fur baby. Finding someone to take care of her when I can’t was a daunting task until meeting Ms. Pamela. During our meet and greet, I was stunned when Pippa snuggled up to her as though they’d been friends forever (and that never happens with anyone)! At that point, I knew that Pamela had a true heart for the animals, and I was sold immediately. If you are a picky pup mom like me, I highly recommend you book Ms. Pamela! Pippa and I give her a 12/10 tail wags!!”
“I was so relieved to find Carlos and Claudia’s doggy daycare and boarding services at their home. It was the first time my 2 y/o Shiba Inu ever boarded away from me. She is a timid girl around new people, but very happy to play with dogs when at a community dog park. She kept a constant happy face outdoors in an amazingly designed fenced backyard developed by Carlos & Claudia for our furry kids, dog friends and people playmates. As a retired pediatrician, I could sense how much Carlos & Claudia loved dogs and how well-informed they are in relating to dogs and in taking care of them in a clean, happy and healthy environment where our furry kids surely thrive.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 15 years. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and pets with medical or behavioral needs. I currently work at a pet supply store, where I continue learning about pet nutrition, enrichment, training, and wellness. Outside of work, I’ve spent the past several years involved with rescue animals, giving me experience with dogs of many different temperaments and backgrounds. My own pets have taught me just as much. I previously cared for my beloved senior cat through kidney disease, arthritis, and dementia, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring changes in health, and providing compassionate senior and hospice-style care. I’ve also successfully managed dogs with fear-based aggression, giving me a strong understanding of canine body language, positive reinforcement, and how to safely build trust with anxious or reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking partner, medication, extra patience, enrichment, or simply a calm and dependable companion while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I currently work flexible part-time hours at a pet supply store and am also an online student, which gives me a schedule that is easy to work around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or medication on a consistent schedule, I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. I believe pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to keep their schedule as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet villa in Naples with my friendly rescue dog and three indoor cats. Every pet is introduced thoughtfully and separated when appropriate, ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m experienced caring for senior pets, rescues, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs. Having cared for my own cat through kidney disease, arthritis, and dementia, and having worked extensively with rescue dogs and fear-based behaviors, I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and following each pet’s individual routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like one of my own.
About: A dog lover for as long as I can remember, I currently own one young pup after recently losing my two senior girls. I know how daunting it can be to imagine leaving your beloved animal with anyone other than you. The anxiety and stress that comes with making sure your dog is safe and cared for while you’re not able to is no joke, and I take the honor very seriously. I volunteered at the humane society as a canine coach for over 5 years and assisted with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperament, and need. I am experienced in senior dogs, and giving medication if needed. My oldest girl was a diabetic and I adhered strictly to her schedule and dosages. I will respect all of the directions and wishes of care for your furry friend as if they were my own. Dogs know dog people, and dogs are my people! I am an entrepreneur at heart. I own 2 small businesses, one of which is my sourdough bakery I run out of my home, but I am single with no children and big goals so I thought I’d merge my love of animals with the possibility to make some extra money. I work mostly from home, with only my regular weekly dog walks which don’t last longer than 3 hours so I am always able to get home every few hours. I am a true homebody and enjoy spending my free time relaxing at home with my dogs. If I am watching the animals in my home, I have several areas in my home that can be separated if need be. My puppy is put in a gated area whenever I am not home. Depending on the care instructions for your pet, I have various crates, gated areas, or if they are able to be out free while I’m away they will be (as long as everyone gets along and they aren’t damaging my property). I have a small fenced yard for quick potty breaks and a quiet safe neighborhood we walk daily. If your animal is staying in your home, I will follow the directions specific to care in your home as you tell me.
About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. With 10+ years of pet care experience, I’ve been caring for pets in my own home for many years and truly treat every animal as if they were my own. I offer a calm, loving environment with a separate, dedicated pet space designed to give your pet a safe and comfortable place to relax whenever they’re not spending time with me. Each pet is provided with their own bed and blanket, along with fresh water available 24/7, so they always feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide variety of breeds and ages, including young puppies and senior dogs. My goal is to always tailor care to each pet’s individual needs. My fully fenced yard and backyard (1+ acres!) provide plenty of opportunities for safe play, exercise, and fresh air throughout the day. For bedtime and rest, all pets staying in my home sleep in their private 8x4x6 kennel, ensuring comfort, security, and personal space. When I’m not directly with them, pets are video monitored by me 24/7, giving you added peace of mind while you’re away. I strive to create a loving, structured, and stress-free environment so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into my home! 🐾💕 I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to spend most of my time at home with your pets, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked here. During the short periods when I need to step away, dogs are safely secured in their private 8x4x6 video-monitored kennels, each set up with a cozy bed, soft blanket, toys, and fresh water to ensure comfort and peace of mind. I’m available for boarding every day, including weekends, making it easy to plan trips or getaways knowing your pet is in a safe, loving, and well-supervised environment. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’ve created a calm, structured, and loving home environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and truly cared for. My home is thoughtfully set up with a separate, dedicated pet space designed for comfort and safety. While boarding with me, pets are allowed to freely roam my home with little-to-no restrictions and constant supervision. During any brief times I’m away, they are securely settled in their private 8x4x6 kennels, complete with a cozy bed, blanket, toys, and fresh water. Moments of rest and bedtime will also take place in the same kennels. Any time pets are secured in their assigned kennels, they are video monitored by me 24/7, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. I take trust very seriously and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions closely. With experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention and patience. My fully fenced yard offers a safe, controlled space for playtime, exercise, and enrichment, allowing pets to burn energy while staying protected. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or enjoys quiet companionship, I work to create a positive, stress-free environment where they feel at home. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and treated like family while you’re away. 🐾💕
“I’m so happy I came across the Rover app. I needed a pet sitter for the long weekend and contacted Dana last minute. I saw that she was a Star Sitter and had several repeat customers which put me at ease. Dana made sure to send me pictures throughout the day which we really enjoyed seeing. We will definitely be contacting her for future dog sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

If I was staying in this area, she would be my only dog sitter!”

“Bri and PJ took such great care of our Titan! He got to play in their yard with a pool and was even taken on outings. I also loved that they have a big dog who Titan could play with. We received great photos and updates during his stay and we were never concerned about whether or not he was ok. That peace of mind really allowed us to enjoy our short but much-needed weekend trip! 10/10 recommend!”
