“So kind and a great communicator. Thank you for caring for Bonnie Bella with love. We look forward to seeing you in the future as our entrusted partner when my family and I are away.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter during my destination wedding! She took such amazing care of my dog, making sure she was always happy and entertained. She sent me constant photos and updates, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear how much she cared for my dog, and I could tell they had so much fun together. I’m so grateful for her kindness and the love she showed my furry friend! Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy with the care they give our dog we feel that he is safe and well cared for our Hank is a happy dog when he goes there and when we pick him up I highly recommend them to care for your pet”
“We recently left our dog, Riley, with Christy for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Christy provided excellent communication, keeping us updated on Riley's well-being throughout her stay. During the week, Riley experienced a bit of an upset stomach, and Christy promptly informed us. She also suggested helpful remedies, like adding pumpkin puree to Riley's meals, which made a significant difference. It’s clear that Christy truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Riley seemed happy and well-adjusted when we picked her up, and it was comforting to know she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Christy again for her dog-sitting services. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah and her family were amazing and took such great care of Jackson! Great communication from start to finish. We got plenty of updates and photos througout our 2 week trip and we could tell Jackson really enjoyed his stay there. Jackson was happy to see us but I could tell he was going to miss staying there too. Thank you again Sarah, Jackson will definitely be back for our next trip!”
“Thanks Sam for taking great care of my dog Cinder. You gave her a comfortable and safe home. Cinder looked so relaxed and happy from all the photos you sent me everyday. Your updates gave me the peace of mind that she was well cared for while I was traveling.”
About: Hi, I am Tammy… I recently lost our beloved Great Dane, Blue after 7 wonderful years together. While our home feels a little too quiet right now, our love for animals hasn’t changed. I am opening our hearts and home on Rover to give other pets the same dedicated, high-quality care, comfort, and affection we gave our own. I have long backgrounds (30+ years) of dog ownership. I have attended many training courses (e.g., Sit Means Sit) and have full comprehension for the theory and application of training principles. I live in a child-free and pet-free home - your dog would would be my sole guest. My home is completely tiled on the first floor and accident proof. My home is fully dog-proofed for safety, quiet, and secure. My backyard is ample and unfenced, so we would provide regular, leashed access outside for potty breaks and walks as desired/appropriate. Dogs can expect to spend most time inside in the air-conditioning with access to the outdoors as needed/desired. I are not a farm, etc., where your pet would be primarily outside. I live in a wonderful, quiet, gated community. Several of my previous pets had special needs, requirements, etc., so I fully understand how critical those needs are. Whether your pup is an energetic fetch enthusiast, a senior dog who prefers slow strolls and cozy naps, or a dog with food allergies or specific dietary concerns, we follow your routine to the letter—including strict feeding and medication schedules. I would love to meet you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet so I can ensure we’re the perfect fit for your dog's needs. I am available for long weekends only at this point - Friday through Sunday. If needed drop off also available Thursday evenings after 7pm. Pet care during this time would be my 100% focus. We have a large 2-story home in a safe, quiet, gated community. Our previous dog (Blue, the Great Dane) had severe allergies and strict dietary restrictions, so our home is dog-proofed, our yard is well-manicured to minimize allergens tracked inside, and the entire first floor is tiled in case of accidents. We are child and pet free - your pet would be our sole guest and 100% focus.

“These are so great I would recommend them if you are in the area let this be your first choice they have a baby and still had time to accommodate my Codie I felt at ease attending my sister’s funeral because I knew my dog was in good hands this will be my dog’s new sitter whenever I need someone I like them so much I returned early for pick up and they said he could finish out his time and I could go home and change clothes first book with them you won’t regret it.”
“Julieth and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They took great care of him, provided plenty of updates and photos, and were accommodating with our pick up time. We will definitely board with them again in the future!”
“Susana took excellent care of my dog. She kept me updated on my puppy activities with pictures and videos. I know my puppy was comfortable because he ate his food and was content lying down. I will definitely use Susana in the future.”

“Linda took care of Charlie and Gus for 12 days. When we picked them up they were healthy and happy! She kept us informed and sent pictures and we will definitely book again. Thanks Linda! Great job!”
“Amber was amazing! She took excellent care of Scrappy and kept us updated with frequent photos and messages throughout the week. As a first-time dog mom leaving my pup with someone new, she made me feel completely at ease. Scrappy stayed with her for a full week and came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend her services, Scrappy will 100% be back! 🐾💛”
“My dog had a great time with Karla and Victor! They provided pictures and reports from his stay, and he enjoyed the walks and backyard time. Enjoyed our vacation knowing he was enjoying himself too. :)”

“Matt and Jamie took excellent care of our very particular little men. They went above and beyond and were proactive about informing us of any changes in and around the house or concerns that they noticed during their daily visits. We got great pictures and lots of comments about our boys’ behavior every day. Would absolutely book with again.”

“Stephanie has done a fantastic job watching our cat Opal and keeping an eye on our house. We have booked her at least three time so far and plan to do so every time we travel. She has excellent communication, is very flexible, and truly loves caring for animals. I give her my very highest recommendation. She's a true gem and wonderful pet sitter!”
“It was our first time leaving our cats, so we were naturally a little nervous. Laurie was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were well cared for, and they came home happy and relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Laurie again. Highly recommend!”

“Caralin was absolutely excellent taking care of our pets while we were away on vacation. My girlfriend and I are overprotective pet parents and have trouble leaving our loved ones home while away; Caralin went over above and beyond with her care of them and truly impressed us with the care and love she showed to our pets.

“Lilliana is great. She is knowledgeable and patient. Our dog is very energetic. She's given us some good training tips, also. We're visiting from out of town and we've used her three times. She sends pictures and texts throughout his visit to keep us up on what he's up to.”

“Candace and Larry took wonderful care of my dog Roger during his daycare stay. They sent lots of updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated and made me feel very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. They were both very kind and friendly, and it was clear that Roger was well cared for and happy while he was there. I would highly recommend Candace and Larry to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m a mom and a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I truly have a heart for dogs and believe they deserve a safe, loving, and fun environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending time playing with them, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, patience, and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Someone will always be home with your pet- either myself or my husband. We are flexible with drop off, but the latest time for pick up that we allow is 9pm unless arranged beforehand. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore, as well as a covered patio where they can relax and enjoy the fresh air. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I'll do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and following their usual routine.
“So glad I found Douglania! Just moved here and needed a new daycare for my dog and she has made my dog so happy and comfortable! And has eased my mind while I’m at work. She is now my weekly go to!”

I’m currently working as a dispatcher part time. I can stay with pets or can bring them home with me. We can walk 3 times a day and i can stay with them overnight too.

About: Hi! I’m Victoria, a local Sanford dog sitter and proud dog mom to Leo, my toy schnauzer. I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family—not just pets. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. I work remotely, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day. Whether they’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor breaks, playtime, cuddles, and individualized attention. I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low to create a calm, low-stress environment where every dog receives the care they deserve. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a walk and immediately after can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.
About: I pet sit small to medium dogs in my home and yours if needed. I walk, exercise and play with them. Spend quality time with them. I do not cat sit in my home. I will go to your home and look after your cat. Litter change, feed and spend time with pet. As I mentioned, I do not sit cats in my house but I will visit your home and care for your cat in their environment.
About: **New clients, please read below!** I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have a 14 year old Shih Tzu of my own that I have cared for since I was a teen. I frequently dog sit for family & friends and I have experience with all kinds of breeds. In the past, I have cared for small and large breeds as well as senior dogs & puppies! A dog’s safety and well-being is my number one priority. New Clients: I cannot accept same day requests as I require a meet & greet prior to booking! I currently work from home Monday through Friday. Due to my work schedule, the following is how I currently accept bookings; Drop-ins/walks: Midday or evenings (after 5pm) for weekdays. Weekends can be anytime. Boarding/day care: anytime, given that I’m available. I can be flexible, so if you need extra accommodations I can definitely work with you. A meet & greet will be required for any new clients to make sure we’re a good fit! I live in a pet friendly apartment in a gated community. There is a vast grassy area behind my building and I have a screened in balcony that is loved by many pups. I make sure to keep all pets within my view at all times. I can assure that your pet will always be safe & gets plenty of love and affection from me :)
About: My love for animals started when i was a little girl. I grew up on a farm that had multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it. I am open to any kind of dogs or cats, no matter the age or size. I am willing to work around my schedule to accommodate you in any way possible. My care for pets grows more and more each day. I can understand how hard it can be to find someone you can rely on to tend to your pets needs and wants. Not only are they pets, they’re also considered family. Their needs will be tended to if i’m given the opportunity to do so.
About: Paws & Claws Pet Care of Lake Mary I am mom to an adorable 18lb pup who I raised using the positive reinforcement method. In addition, I've always had pets since I was young. On most days I am currently available for drop-in visits from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm Monday to Friday. On Saturday and Sunday I have more flexibility. In June 2026 my schedule changes to Thursday and Sunday with open flexibility and 9:30 am to 10:00 am on Monday to Wednesday and Friday to Saturday. Safety is a priority for me. For boarding, dogs must have updated vaccines, be clean, and free of fleas, worms, mites, etc. During boarding with more than one dog, I always make sure that the new dog gets along well with the other dogs before the pet parent leaves. It’s best to know your dog’s personality. If your dog shows signs that they do not respect other pets boundaries even during play then group boarding may not be the best fit. For everyone's safety, health, and happiness, if the dog does not get along then the pet parent may need to make back up arrangements. For best practices, parents should always have a back up option in case things don't work out or if there is an emergency. To prevent the risk of dogs not getting along, the pet parent can offer to buyout the sitter at their full capacity. Other best practices to consider: For pups who are sensitive to minor sounds, it may be best to book them with a sitter who lives in a house versus an apartment. For dogs who are prone to potty accidents or excessive drooling, it may be best to book them in a home that has wood floors versus full carpeting. Pups who don't like to share attention would match best with sitters who except one dog at a time. Pets who have extremely high energy may be happiest with sitters who have a fenced in yard for them to run around freely.
“Would definitely leave Meeko with Juan again, he sent videos throughout the day and was very accommodating to my schedule, also you cant beat the yard space that he’s got so that doggos can play freely 🙂”
“Sasha was wonderful with my puppy and so kind and understanding throughout the entire day. My puppy can sometimes be a handful and requires a lot of attention, and she ended up having an accident in her house even after a walk, which I felt terrible about. Sasha handled it with patience and was incredibly considerate about it, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and easy to work with, responsive, and great at communication. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was being cared for by someone patient, accommodating, and genuinely good with dogs. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also worked in a dog kennel where I helped manage and care for 25+ dogs, which taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and handle different energy levels and personalities. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to follow their routine and give them the attention they need. I take pet care seriously and always aim to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My daily routine is super pet-friendly—I do all my homework from home, so your pet will have company and attention throughout the day. I also work out in my garage, which means I’m never far away and can easily take breaks for playtime, walks, or cuddles. I’m homebody at heart, so your furry friend will always have someone around to keep them happy, safe, and loved. In my home, I treat pets like family—giving them a cozy, calm space where they feel safe and loved. I keep a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles, and I always follow any special instructions you provide. When I’m in your home, I care for your pet the same way I would my own—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their favorite walking route, or giving belly rubs just the way they like them, I make sure they feel right at home.

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/geethk04148 Use this to get $20 off your first booking. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember — fostering puppies and kittens, helping them find loving forever homes, and caring for my own pets over the years. I grew up with a gentle Labrador who will always hold a special place in my heart, and I now have a spirited 6-month-old Miniature Pinscher mix rescue who keeps me on my toes and fills my days with joy. My experience ranges from raising playful puppies and kittens to caring for older dogs and cats, and I understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. I’ve even traveled multiple times with my own dog between Florida and other states, so I know how to keep pets comfortable and secure in different environments. While I’m new to Rover and don’t yet have reviews, I bring dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every job. If trusted with your pet, I’ll treat them like my own — ensuring they’re safe, happy, and cared for as if you never left. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. From regular walks and play sessions to cuddle breaks and feeding schedules, I can be there for your furry friend every step of the way. Their comfort and happiness will be part of my daily routine. I have a spacious yard where dogs can enjoy fresh air and playtime, safe for outdoor fun. For exercise, I can also take dogs on leashed walks around the neighborhood or to nearby pet-friendly areas. Inside my home, pets have a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I make sure fresh water is always available, follow their feeding schedule exactly, and give them lots of affection and attention. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent — from walks and play to feeding and medication (if needed). I make sure your pet feels loved and secure until you return. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll be treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Fort Florida
About: I am skilled in basic pet care, including exercising, sensory enrichment play time, feeding/watering, bathing/cleanliness, and administering medication. I have taken care of animals my entire life, including cats, dogs, and several types of exotic animals. I am currently working part time in Hospitality, so my availability is subject to inquiry. Most days and nights, I am available to board several animals. I am very flexible and receptive to your pets’ individual needs, and can accommodate most requests (bathroom break at a certain time, feeding schedule, med schedule, etc.) Please let me know if there is a special request and I will do my best to honor it. Your pet will be cared for like my own Mr. Winston! I treat pets like family members. I am a loving caregiver, as evidenced by my own care of my dog, Winston. Your animal will be cared for as if they were mine. If anything, they may even be spoiled a little during their stay!
About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
“Maricel was excellent with assisting my family and I on short notice with our two dogs. She showed great care with walking them and made great notes. Thank you again Maricel!”
About: I love dogs (as well as cats, lizards, and all kinds of animals)! Your best buddy will be well taken care of, pampered and loved while you're gone. I like playing with our quests and like walks with them. I currently have one cat. I have a nice size fenced in yard for quick pee breaks but we will most likely be taking them out for walks around the neighborhood often. I am usually available everyday of the week and are usually home most of the day. At times, with your permission, I would take your best buddy with us to local park walks, pet friendly restaurants, or local festivals. I’m semi retired and can take care of your pet almost anytime. I’m not usually gone from home long, but if I am I usually will take your pet with me I have a large fenced yard, with plenty of chances to run and play. I will be out in the yard wherever they are, so they are away safe in the backyard
“Athena is wonderful! My dog usually doesn’t take to people very quickly… But he did with her! She communicates really well and updates me with pictures every time she is with Bowie! Strongly recommend! Will use her again.”
About: All my life i’ve been surrounded by animals! I’ve grown up helping taking care of both dogs and cats. I have experience walking dogs, feeding both cats and dogs, picking up dog poop and cat litter, playing with both animals, as well as bathing dogs! I also give so much love to all animals! I have helped out family and friends in the past as well ! I currently work a part time job that takes place typically in the afternoon-night. My work schedule can change weekly so I plan on updating my schedule to take care of pets weekly as well! I will ensure to make time for all pets even with this work schedule! I will be most helpful in mornings but will also be there to provide service throughout the whole day. At home I have 5 dogs and 1 lovely cat! My cat typically stays upstairs while my dogs will be downstairs and get to roam around freely. I have a small patio with grass that is fenced that I let my dogs out in! I have some cages and many beds for pets to use! For taking care of a pet at your home, I will follow along with any pet instructions given. I will feed, let dogs out to potty or walk as needed. I’m happy to provide any other services you may need regarding your pets! I will of course dedicate time to playing with them!
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important pets are to families, so I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and willing to follow any special routines or instructions to keep your pet happy. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My daughter attends daycare during the day, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the day. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m patient, responsible, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and am confident handling a variety of needs. I can also provide medication administration and care for pets with special or medical requirements. I currently work from home so I’m available most days. I have 2 mixed labs myself. I like taking breaks and going on walks with my dogs. I am available for drop ins, house sitting, boarding, or walking! I am in an apartment that has a dog park that I take my dogs to daily. I have multiple leashes and may walk or take care of your dogs separately if needed!
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've cared for dogs through every stage of life—from helping with a senior Labrador to raising my two Golden Retrievers. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I specialize in dogs with high energy, anxiety and medication tracking. I'm an active dog lover who walks my dogs twice daily and enjoys taking them on runs. My dogs always come first, and I believe every pet deserves plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my dog-friendly home. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play, exercise, and explore while being supervised.

“Needed help with dog walking for the day while visiting family out of town. Stasia was friendly and responsive with getting everything set up. I received updates and pictures both times she walked our dog. I'll definitely use her services again when we're in town. Thanks Stasia!”
“Vanessa is amazing! Both my dogs absolutely love her and she is so responsive and caring with them. After their 1st daycare day with her the next day we started driving into the neighborhood and they got so excited because they knew they were going to see her. I’ll refer her to anyone who needs a dog sitter/walker.”
About: I have worked in a vet clinic setting that has allowed me to work with different types of animals of all ages. I have works from little dogs to big dogs to little cats to big cats. I always treat the animals like they’re one of us and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I always make time for my animals no matter the time I always work around and make sure everyone is happy. I’m open to work around my schedule in their schedule. The care that I give all animals does not change. I care for them all equally making sure they are all comfortable and they feel safe in their home either if it’s in my place or theirs.
About: I have had a dog myself since I was 10 and a cat since 15. Both were majority my responsibility. I have also pet sat for many friends and family with a multitude of different sized pets. Hi! I’m in town temporarily doing clinical placements and using Rover to help keep my bank account alive 😅 I’m reliable, easygoing, and take pride in doing a good job. Happy to help out while I’m here! I love all animals :) I can easily walk dogs, play with any animal, give them lots of love and pets, and provide great care for your babies. I will remain in constant contact with you and do everything the way you ask! I understand the importance of taking care of the fur babies , I’m here for what you need!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and shared responsibility for taking care of them with my siblings. I now have my own fuzzball - Miso (Brown tabby cat). I also frequently watch my close friends, neighbors, and family's pets while they’re out of town or just need a little 'me' time away from their energetic gremlins - always being sure to give them lots of love while their person is away. I have helped my closest friend train her Husky/German Shepard mix puppy do simple commands like: sit, stay, paw and most importantly potty training. I do have experience with younger animals so I can help out with training and I of course have loads of patience, experience, and love to care for senior pets too! I have always loved being around animals, they’re such pure creatures that we are soo undeserving of a lot of times! Feel free to shoot me a message to discuss times and availability. Weekends I am typically completely free unless marked on my Rover Calendar! :)) I currently WFH so can be very flexible. I can work on the road, or simply bring my work with me where ever I go. Just looking to pick back up some side jigs - mostly ones I find joy in, and this is definitely a big one on my list! I have an apartment that is near a small dog park and other parks in the area as well. I have a younger cat that is still adjusting to dogs but doesn't mind keeping to herself on her kitty castle (cat tower/tree) or in a separate room.
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/geethk04148 Use this to get $20 off your first booking. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember — fostering puppies and kittens, helping them find loving forever homes, and caring for my own pets over the years. I grew up with a gentle Labrador who will always hold a special place in my heart, and I now have a spirited 6-month-old Miniature Pinscher mix rescue who keeps me on my toes and fills my days with joy. My experience ranges from raising playful puppies and kittens to caring for older dogs and cats, and I understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. I’ve even traveled multiple times with my own dog between Florida and other states, so I know how to keep pets comfortable and secure in different environments. While I’m new to Rover and don’t yet have reviews, I bring dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every job. If trusted with your pet, I’ll treat them like my own — ensuring they’re safe, happy, and cared for as if you never left. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. From regular walks and play sessions to cuddle breaks and feeding schedules, I can be there for your furry friend every step of the way. Their comfort and happiness will be part of my daily routine. I have a spacious yard where dogs can enjoy fresh air and playtime, safe for outdoor fun. For exercise, I can also take dogs on leashed walks around the neighborhood or to nearby pet-friendly areas. Inside my home, pets have a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I make sure fresh water is always available, follow their feeding schedule exactly, and give them lots of affection and attention. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent — from walks and play to feeding and medication (if needed). I make sure your pet feels loved and secure until you return. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll be treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive.

“So kind and a great communicator. Thank you for caring for Bonnie Bella with love. We look forward to seeing you in the future as our entrusted partner when my family and I are away.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter during my destination wedding! She took such amazing care of my dog, making sure she was always happy and entertained. She sent me constant photos and updates, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear how much she cared for my dog, and I could tell they had so much fun together. I’m so grateful for her kindness and the love she showed my furry friend! Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy with the care they give our dog we feel that he is safe and well cared for our Hank is a happy dog when he goes there and when we pick him up I highly recommend them to care for your pet”
“We recently left our dog, Riley, with Christy for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Christy provided excellent communication, keeping us updated on Riley's well-being throughout her stay. During the week, Riley experienced a bit of an upset stomach, and Christy promptly informed us. She also suggested helpful remedies, like adding pumpkin puree to Riley's meals, which made a significant difference. It’s clear that Christy truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Riley seemed happy and well-adjusted when we picked her up, and it was comforting to know she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Christy again for her dog-sitting services. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah and her family were amazing and took such great care of Jackson! Great communication from start to finish. We got plenty of updates and photos througout our 2 week trip and we could tell Jackson really enjoyed his stay there. Jackson was happy to see us but I could tell he was going to miss staying there too. Thank you again Sarah, Jackson will definitely be back for our next trip!”
“Thanks Sam for taking great care of my dog Cinder. You gave her a comfortable and safe home. Cinder looked so relaxed and happy from all the photos you sent me everyday. Your updates gave me the peace of mind that she was well cared for while I was traveling.”
About: Hi, I am Tammy… I recently lost our beloved Great Dane, Blue after 7 wonderful years together. While our home feels a little too quiet right now, our love for animals hasn’t changed. I am opening our hearts and home on Rover to give other pets the same dedicated, high-quality care, comfort, and affection we gave our own. I have long backgrounds (30+ years) of dog ownership. I have attended many training courses (e.g., Sit Means Sit) and have full comprehension for the theory and application of training principles. I live in a child-free and pet-free home - your dog would would be my sole guest. My home is completely tiled on the first floor and accident proof. My home is fully dog-proofed for safety, quiet, and secure. My backyard is ample and unfenced, so we would provide regular, leashed access outside for potty breaks and walks as desired/appropriate. Dogs can expect to spend most time inside in the air-conditioning with access to the outdoors as needed/desired. I are not a farm, etc., where your pet would be primarily outside. I live in a wonderful, quiet, gated community. Several of my previous pets had special needs, requirements, etc., so I fully understand how critical those needs are. Whether your pup is an energetic fetch enthusiast, a senior dog who prefers slow strolls and cozy naps, or a dog with food allergies or specific dietary concerns, we follow your routine to the letter—including strict feeding and medication schedules. I would love to meet you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet so I can ensure we’re the perfect fit for your dog's needs. I am available for long weekends only at this point - Friday through Sunday. If needed drop off also available Thursday evenings after 7pm. Pet care during this time would be my 100% focus. We have a large 2-story home in a safe, quiet, gated community. Our previous dog (Blue, the Great Dane) had severe allergies and strict dietary restrictions, so our home is dog-proofed, our yard is well-manicured to minimize allergens tracked inside, and the entire first floor is tiled in case of accidents. We are child and pet free - your pet would be our sole guest and 100% focus.
