“Lorena and family did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats; Nala and Simba. I know that the cats were shown a lot of love and they were well fed and cared for during our week away. Both cats were very content with their temporary home and it was obvious that they loved Lorena because they wanted to sleep on her bed to be near her! Thank you Lorena, we really appreciate you opening your home to our furry friends!”

“Ania was amazing watching our pup, Tater, over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was so flexible with meet and greet schedules, pick-up and drop-off and quickly eased our anxieties about finding a sitter. She provided so many cute photos and thorough updates every day and made us feel like Tater was part of her family. She treated him like one of her own pets and spoiled him with the cuddles and attention he demands lol. Tater got along well with her two small dogs and her home is so cozy - so many spots for Tater to snuggle up and nap. Do not hesitate to book with Ania if you need a dog sitter!”
“Our dog Violet had such a great time with Anna and her family. Communication was excellent and she sent plenty of pictures to make us feel at ease. Her dogs and family treated Violet like their own you can see it by her poses and comfort in the pictures. Highly recommend and will be taking Violet back to Anna for any boarding or care needs.”

“Allyssa, her husband, and their puppy Ezzy were very friendly and took good care of Dreamsicle (cat) during the 8 night stay. Allyssa provided pictures & updates throughout the whole stay. They have a nice clean home & super sweet people. Will definitely have them sit for my cat again!! Highly recommend.”

“Gaby is amazing! She made sure my pup was comfortable, happy, cared for and loved on. He can be anxious or shy but she knew exactly how to get him out of his shell. She sends updates with pictures and videos and takes her job seriously, treating my pup like family. Rest assure when you book with Gaby your fur baby will be loved and taken excellent care of. I think my pup misses her and her family already!”
“I was so pleased with the care shown to my pittie baby. He was given all the attention and love I hoped for while I was gone. I would recommend Shailananishie, and thank her so much for looking after him.”

“Amanda is great! So kind and thoughtful, even asked if I wanted my plants watered while I was gone 😂. She was great with my cat Juju ❤️. Even washed the dishes after feeding her.”
“She saved a worried cat mom’s heart!! I hadn’t seen my girl cat on my camera while I was out of town, so thankfully Christina was able to help! She popped over, found her and eased my mind. So thankful and will 100% book again!”
“Emma has been an absolute angel of a sitter! Almond, who is usually very shy and timid, warmed up to her right away. Even playing and purring in her presence, which was so comforting to see while we were away. Miso, our other sweetheart, is a social butterfly and wasted no time cuddling and playing with Emma. We came home to two very well rested and happy kitties. Emma was very responsive and handled every request without any issues, which made our vacation even more relaxing. She truly went above and beyond for our girls and our home. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you so much for the wonderful care! ☺️”
“She was great with my dogs! She was always on time, took them for walks, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
“Stacey was wonderful and very reliable. She checked in on Monkey, made sure she had fresh food and water, sent photos, and even included an extra update when she noticed her sister nearby, which I appreciated. Her note written from Monkey’s point of view was so sweet and made me smile, for sure!!! She was on time, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with her again for Monkey, and the rest of my tribe!”
“Claudia has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Milo! She goes above and beyond every single time she cares for him. She doesn’t just make sure his basic needs are met—she truly loves on him as if he were her own. Claudia pays close attention to every detail, follows all of my instructions, and always makes me feel at ease knowing Milo is in such caring hands. The best part is seeing how excited Milo gets every time he sees her. That alone tells me how much he trusts and loves her. Thank you, Claudia, for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Your kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals mean more than you know. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter!”
“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”
“Nicole did a great job of communicating throughout the process. She was great with my dog, left a great report, was very accommodating and my dog enjoyed the visit. Definitely recommend”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a funeral. She gave us timely updates and made sure he was well taken care of. We definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future”

“We had a wonderful experience with Cassandra! This was Cookie’s first time staying with a sitter, and she made us feel completely at ease. She was very kind, communicative, and sent us several photo updates throughout the day. Cookie enjoyed walks, spent time with Cayenne, and came home happy and relaxed. We would absolutely trust Cassandra with Cookie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much!”

“Just wonderful! Ivy will literally play fetch until she croaks and unfortunately some people find it annoying when she keeps tossing her toys at them, but Stephanie said her kids absolutely loved playing fetch with her 🩷 when I picked her up, she fell asleep in the car on our 15 minute drive home which means she got all of her energy out which I’m thankful for! Will schedule again in the future 🥰”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly love and take pride in. I regularly care for multiple dogs and understand the importance of keeping each pet safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I carefully follow every pet parent’s instructions,( I ask that you provide a written copy with there stuff upon drop off) We provide plenty of attention and playtime, and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because they are never alone, someone is always home and available to give each pet plenty of attention. I plan my days around feeding, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and each pet’s individual needs, so they always receive dependable care and lots of love. Meet and greets are limited to 15 minutes. Please arrive on time for all meet and greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups, as frequent late arrivals affect my schedule. Late arrivals may need to be shortened or rescheduled. Thank you for understanding! We are extremely flexible and will work with you. We just ask that you understand we make our pet visitors as comfortable as we can, and some pet visitors dont do well with meet and greets. (We dont want pet visitors that are staying feeling overwhelmed.)During meet and greets we will put all pet visitors away in separate bedrooms to insure they all stay safe. As safety is our TOP priority. We thank you for understanding 🙏 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and use dog gates when needed to keep everyone safe and comfortable. We do use crates for bedtime to insure the safety of all pet visitors. We do watch some without crates. And use gates to keep all safe throughout the night.
“Before I could even call to check on my fur baby, BJ sent videos & pictures of her & it made me feel so at ease. I really appreciated the last minute support for her & highly recommend!”
“This was our first use of the Rover program. We were extremely happy with the care given, the caretaker’s professionalism, and the cleanliness of the home/backyard facilities. Jody was very personable, easy to communicate with both by phone and text, and very loving with Tater. We would rebook with her without hesitation and would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking worry-free, loving care for their pets.”
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of every kind – including dogs that lack training. I love giving furry friends my undivided attention through many walks/outdoor activities and cuddles! I currently work from home full-time, giving me plenty of time to care for your pet. I go on walks regularly throughout my day and if I leave my home, I always return within 2 hours. Your fur baby will rarely be left alone. I recently adopted Kira, a German Shepard mix (about 35lbs), who does great with other dogs. I live in an apartment complex that has plenty of room to safely play (on a lease) and a fenced-in dog park.
About: I’ve been caring for my own cat since he was just 4 weeks old, and he’s now 3 years old. Raising him from such a young age has given me firsthand experience with every stage of a cat’s life; from bottle-feeding and socialization to establishing routines, monitoring his health, and understanding his unique personality and behaviors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, administering basic care, and recognizing when something seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every pet has a different personality, whether they’re playful and outgoing or shy and reserved. My goal is to make each pet feel as relaxed, loved, and cared for as possible while their family is away, giving owners peace of mind that their furry friend is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because either my husband or I are almost always home. This allows us to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular feeding throughout the day. The only time we’re both away is on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Outside of those hours, someone is home to make sure your pet receives the care, supervision, and affection they deserve. We enjoy maintaining a consistent routine so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from their owner. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervised care throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a nearby dog park, and I’m happy to take dogs on regular walks to ensure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. I also have a friendly 3-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. If a pet prefers their own space or an owner requests it, I’m able to keep pets separated as needed. I’m also happy to crate pets if that’s part of their normal routine or allow them to roam freely if they’re crate-free at home.

She’s an anxious older dog but chills right out with Royce at her side, and always comes come exhausted from playing with him. ❤️ Melissa is super communicative and kind, the dogs spend lots of time outside and get lots of love. Finding a good place for Freya to stay has given us so much comfort and freedom!”
“Excelente servicio, ya en 2 ocasiones Nixi me lo a cuidado y siempre quedo super contenta con sus atenciones, una de las cosas que siempre me preocupa cuando lo dejo con alguien es que deje de comer, pero con Nixi eso no pasa al contrario creo que viene con libras demas :) y sobre todo Romeo siempre lo encuentro feliz. Súper contenta con sus servicios.”

About: I've taken care of every kind of dog over the years. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their fur babies and give them all the love while their owners are away. I'm currently working remote and looking for any reason to get my steps in, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your fur babies! I don't have any children or pets in my apartment currently. But have an amazing dog park, lots of walkable areas in my neighborhood, and even an outside dog bath!
About: 🐾 Your dog will be treated like family from the moment they arrive. I know how hard it is to leave your furry best friend with someone else, which is why I make it my mission to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel right at home. I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes, and I genuinely love every minute of it. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, exploring the yard, or getting plenty of belly rubs and attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member, send me a message and let’s see if we’re the perfect match! I work from home, which means your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Like any family, I occasionally step out for errands or appointments. If your dog experiences separation anxiety or isn’t comfortable being left alone for short periods, I kindly ask that you provide a crate or let me know their specific needs in advance so we can ensure they stay safe and comfortable while I’m away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I care for both dogs and cats, and I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. For dogs staying in my home, I provide frequent, structured potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Since I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs are taken on regular walks every 2–3 hours and again about 40 minutes after meals to keep them comfortable, active, and on a healthy routine. My home has an open-concept layout, and all pets remain safely on the downstairs level with a baby gate blocking access to the stairs, creating a secure environment where they can relax and play under supervision. For cats, I provide a calm, low-stress environment that respects their unique personalities and routines. Whether they’re playful or prefer their own space, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving them the attention they need on their terms. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet—and to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“This was Taffy's first time having a sitter. Tea and her family did a great job making Taffy feel at home. I was sent pictures of her day and how she was doing. They were so nice and caring. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friend.”
About: I truly do love Pets. I have had both Dogs and Cats since I was young and I think they bring such joy to life. I'm always the neighborhood Pet Sitter and I have watched 5 dogs at once for neighbors and I'm currently a Cat owner. I have even taking care of them as they cross over that Rainbow Bridge, it's sad but I believe they deserve every moment of love and care. I grew up on a Farm and I have always enjoyed our Animal Friends and I know how to care for them when they are happy and healthy and when they are happy but need special care. Our Pets are Family and I love all types of Cats and Dogs. If you're like me then you know they deserve the Best because they are the best. I also have experience in helping them heal from Injury. If they need 24/7 care I can provide that. I want nothing but the best for all Fur Babies. I'm home all the time so they will get plenty of attention Even if I have to run an errand someone is always at home. I have a Pet friendly home. I have a Cat that is very friendly and gets along with both Cats and Dogs. I also have a wonderful walking area. I give lots of attention and love.

“I can’t say enough about how happy we are that we chose Stacey!! We just moved to Florida one month ago and don’t know anybody around here and had a four-day vacation coming up. We needed to find somebody reliable and caring and whom we felt safe with to take care of our dog and cat. From the first meet and greet we knew we found the right person! Stacey is sweet and caring and reliable! She came every day, 3x a day to walk the dog and take care of him and our cat who can be weird with new people. But they both took to her quickly and she was really great with sending updates and photos which we loved! They were in great hands and I can’t recommend her enough! It’s money well spent and we will definitely be using her every time! Awesome job, thank you Stacey!!”
“Shayla has been absolutely amazing with my dog! I’ve had to make a few last-minute requests, and she has always been so accommodating and comes through for me every time. She’s reliable, caring, and very communicative, which I really appreciate. I love that she keeps me updated and sends pictures during the walks—it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is being well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby with. I highly recommend her.”
“The best dog walkers! They go beyond and above for my dog. Always sending me updates during my long hopsital shifts. They even give my dog baths and provide homemade organic treats my dog loves.”
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.

My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I care for both dogs and cats, and I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. For dogs staying in my home, I provide frequent, structured potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Since I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs are taken on regular walks every 2–3 hours and again about 40 minutes after meals to keep them comfortable, active, and on a healthy routine. My home has an open-concept layout, and all pets remain safely on the downstairs level with a baby gate blocking access to the stairs, creating a secure environment where they can relax and play under supervision. For cats, I provide a calm, low-stress environment that respects their unique personalities and routines. Whether they’re playful or prefer their own space, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving them the attention they need on their terms. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet—and to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

My last dog Gigi lived to 17 yrs. and had some Med. issues at the of life, so equiped to deal w/senior dogs as well.precious I am now retired so I have plenty of free time. Ruby has standing dates every Saturday @Dog Park, plus we go on walks and have play-time with her many toys.Your dogs will be welcome to join in as much, or as little as they like.

“We cannot say enough about how awesome Amanda is! She is so sweet!! She came twice a day to walk my mom's papillon for a good halfhour each time and little Courtney just loves Amanda! As I live out of town, finding Amanda to walk my mom's pupper was an absolute godsend!! As I'm the one with the River app, I had great peace of mind getting the daily updates that she was picking up and returning little Courtney and the daily pics were nice to get too! We will definitely rebook with Amanda anytime we need her because of the great care she took of Courtney.”

“I recently hired Nicole to take care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and understand their needs. Nicole is always punctual, reliable, and communicates regularly with updates and photos from their walks. My dog absolutely adores them and comes back happy and tired after each session, which speaks volumes about the care and attention given. The walks are tailored to my dog’s energy level, ensuring he gets the exercise he needs. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
“New to the area and I am VERY skeptical about strangers watching my dogs. Let me just say how thankful I am to have met Carolina! She has been such a life saver, and she spoils & treats my boy as if he is her own. She is Reliable, great at communicating, sends updates (photos) and overall a very sweet person. I will definitely continue to use her for all of my weekly walks/stays. Thank you for watching my Buddy ?❤️”
