“Juan Pablo took excellent care of our two dogs. He sent us regular pics and videos. He provided a positive social environment with his dog and other neighbour’s dogs. It was like one big Chi family. We had a great time on our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless!”
“Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own. Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“It was the perfect set up, they were very nice and they have an extremely nice house in an extremely nice neighborhood. Really nice people. They took good care of him and they gave us updates with photos. Peach of mind. Max came home happy and clean”
“Nicole was incredible. She constantly updated me with photos during Presley's stay and would assure me that he was having a good time. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jessica was the best! She has great energy and will protect your dogs at all cost! My two girls are not quite trained yet and my anxiety for leaving was sky high but Jessica reassured me they were ok and she made whatever adjustments she needed to for everyone to have a great experience. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent sitter for my two doggies while I was away on vacation . Her two sons are always playing with the dogs , and she’s always sending updates which is nice . Total recommend !”

“Absolutely fantastic. I plan on using Gheraldine whenever I travel. She’s not the closest, but I feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. Pics, videos, updates - all the good stuff to make me feel at peace. HIGHLY recommend her services.”
“This was our first time using Rover. It took us a little while to find the right person but we feel like we did! Valeria was amazing right from the start. My fiancee and I felt comfortable leaving our puppy with her before leaving for our trip. She sent updates 2-3 times a day and Zoe had an amazing time.”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Antonio came through for us in a pinch over Thanksgiving holiday and we are so grateful! This was Marley’s first time staying with Antonio and from the moment we met him at his grooming salon (which is so nice btw!) we were instantly comfortable. We are helicopter parents and he didn’t bat an eye and was totally understanding of our novel of instructions and requests including her preemptive first aid medicines. We can tell he was very attentive to Marley while we were gone and she got walks and lots of treats and even made a couple of pup friends who he was also babysitting. We got updates and pictures everyday and Marley came home fresh & fluffy (as we took advantage of his grooming service 😃) and happy. Thank you so much Antonio for taking such good care of our Marley!! We would happily recommend him to anyone have have him babysit her again! 🤗”
“We’re so thankful to have found Kelly! She has been kind, professional and communicative from the start. She kept our two pups for over a week and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. She’s wonderful at sharing pictures, videos and updates, which our 3 daughters loved. Our dogs loved playing with Kelly’s sweet dog, Eggie! Kelly loved on our dogs the same way we do and we could tell how happy they were staying with her. We’re so happy to have found such a loving and trustworthy pet sitter :)”

“Jerrie and Freeman are fantastic Rover sitters! As a first time for leaving my pup for an extended period, I was concerned about her feeling homesick and/or abandoned but nothing could've been further from the actual experience. My girl *thoroughly* enjoyed her time with them and their pups, judging from the frequent photo and video updates I received during her stay! In fact, she seems practically bored out of her mind now that she's back with dad. 😄 Jerrie and Freeman are incredibly friendly, experienced with dog care, and empathetic to the worries of dog "parents", and do their absolute best to make sure the pups in their care are happy, safe, entertained and fully welcomed into their home, and that their parents are at peace knowing their "kids" are in the best of hands. They are just plain awesome and are everything one would want in sitters! Please don't hesitate to select them for any sitting needs you may have, they are a treasure! 💯”
About: For over 10 years, I've cared for dogs of all kinds for friends and family. I've provided walks, feeding, playtime, house sitting, and in home boarding. Pets always receive dependable loving attention. Since I work from home full time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and drop-ins throughout the day. I can also work on the go, making it relatively easy to adapt to each pet's needs and routine. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment that’s perfect for small to medium-sized dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend the whole day with them, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your loved one enjoys the best pup-cation possible!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid! I have a 4 pound Yorkie named Halo, and we love, welcoming friends in our home! I work from home, so plenty of love and attention and walks for your pup! I am comfortable with Senior pups as I have cared for my past pup, and I’m comfortable with puppies and I have cared for litters a couple times from my past dogs and rescue puppies. I’m currently working from home, so plenty of time for walks and care for your pup! I also have a rooftop deck that me and my pup love to get some sun time without a leash. My neighborhood has plenty of grass to roll around in and we even have a large park around the corner with dog parks if that’s what your dog loves. I have a large home with plenty of space to play, and we always welcome the pups on the couch and bed in this home so they won’t ever feel lonely. We also have a rooftop terrace if your pup loves a little bit of sunbathing and we are close to dog parks! I also live in a gated community for extra safety

I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets!”
“Mara made an instant connection with my shy girl Prima! She did a great job taking care of Prima while I was away and always made sure to send me videos or pictures when she was doing her drop in to visit and care for Prima. Her communication was good and she was flexible with things like scheduling the meet and greet and returning the keys to my apartment.”

We very much appreciate that Kimmeth was available to help us, and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services.”

“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!”
“Nicole is top tier ! She is my go to and the only person I trust with my fur babies. She sends pictures and keeps me updated daily. Highly recommend her !”
“The best sitter I’ve ever had. She spent so much quality time with my Gib and I truly felt so comfortable being gone leaving my kitty in her hands. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Billi provided an exceptional experience caring for my two cats, Mimi and Pin-get, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Mimi is my 9-year-old tuxedo cat and is normally very shy around new people, so I was amazed when she immediately felt comfortable with Billi during the meet and greet. That moment alone reassured me that Billi truly has a natural connection with animals. During each drop-in visit, Billi kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me. Seeing Mimi happily sitting on her lap and watching both of my fur babies interacting comfortably with her made my heart smile and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Billi is professional, reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She clearly takes the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Her communication and thoughtful updates made the entire experience stress-free. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Billi. I will absolutely be booking her again for future visits with Mimi and Pin-get.”
“Vadim & Anastasia were great! Always communicating, dropped by on time and even went the extra mile to socialize with my cat. Y'all are my new go-to for petsitting!”

I was also a foster mom for my local shelter where I provided a safe place for over 15 dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats I work from home, so I can provide multiple walks a day for dogs as well as provide a watchful eye while boarding your baby. My dog is my baby, so the couch and bed is her lounge place. I have a spare bedroom that will be a perfect getaway for your baby. Providing them with their own safe place.

About: Hi! I'm Ilaria, originally from Italy and recently moved to Fort Lauderdale with a regular working visa. I'm currently in maternity leave and focused on take care of my family, which gives me the time and flexibility to look after not just my own dog, but also other four-legged friends. I've always grown up surrounded by animals. Over the years, I've had two Dobermans, two French Bulldogs, two cats, a hamster, and several tortoises. I now live with Watson, my friendly and social French Bulldog, who loves meeting new people and pets. I’m responsible, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I understand their needs and enjoy spending quality time with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply offering cuddles and company. Your pet will be in loving and experienced hands with me! Please note: due to my husband’s allergy, I’m unfortunately unable to care for cats. Thank you for your understanding. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I offer pet sitting at my home every day of the week, including weekends. Your pet will never be alone: my husband Gabriele, who will take care of your pet with me, works from home. One of us is always around to provide company and care. We have a designated dog area in our residential complex, which makes potty breaks and playtime easy and convenient. The neighborhood is also ideal for walks—it's very green, quiet, and shaded by trees, making strolls comfortable even on warmer days.
“When I picked up my dog, he looked genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay. I really appreciate the great care, and I’ll definitely be leaving him more often in the future!”
“Rachael was very sweet! She responded to my booking request within just a few minutes and communication throughout Lola's stay was great. I felt like Lola was in good hands. I would definitely book with Rachael again and highly recommend her!”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“Camilla and Maribela were amazing take care of our two dogs for the day! They were very sweet and attentive to the two pups, and sent us the cutest photos of the dogs having a great time. We were running late to pick up the dogs due to traffic, and they were so accomodating and understanding. We will go to them again when we need a dog sitter!”
“I had to find a sitter very last minute due to an unexpected conflict, and Kat truly came through for me when I was in a bind. She responded quickly, was extremely understanding of my situation, and immediately put me at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which really helped calm my anxiety and let me know my pup was happy and well cared for. Kat’s building was a huge bonus—it’s extremely dog-friendly and has the cutest pups lol There was a private dog run right along the water that she was able to take my sweet dolly to,and a gorgeous park just across the street. It was clear from the updates that my dog was getting plenty of outdoor time and stimulation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Reliability is everything when trusting someone with your pet, and Kat exceeded expectations. She was warm, professional, and totally dependable. I would absolutely book with her again 💖”

My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and drop-ins throughout the day. I can also work on the go, making it relatively easy to adapt to each pet's needs and routine. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment that’s perfect for small to medium-sized dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend the whole day with them, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your loved one enjoys the best pup-cation possible!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid! I have a 4 pound Yorkie named Halo, and we love, welcoming friends in our home! I work from home, so plenty of love and attention and walks for your pup! I am comfortable with Senior pups as I have cared for my past pup, and I’m comfortable with puppies and I have cared for litters a couple times from my past dogs and rescue puppies. I’m currently working from home, so plenty of time for walks and care for your pup! I also have a rooftop deck that me and my pup love to get some sun time without a leash. My neighborhood has plenty of grass to roll around in and we even have a large park around the corner with dog parks if that’s what your dog loves. I have a large home with plenty of space to play, and we always welcome the pups on the couch and bed in this home so they won’t ever feel lonely. We also have a rooftop terrace if your pup loves a little bit of sunbathing and we are close to dog parks! I also live in a gated community for extra safety
“I had a great experience using Jennifer. Our dog Benji had such a fun time. He was kept safe and I was updated frequency with pictures and videos. Definitely would use Jen again :)”
“Good communication, flexibility, friendly, and trustworthy. My experience with Mafalda was great and Poochie loved her! Will reach out to rebook again. Thanks for everything!”
“Natalie was awesome! She was great at communicating and sending pictures of my girlie. Natalie was very patient with my girl that needs a pill with each meal too. I went into this booking thinking I had filtered for taking one dog at a time, but found out quickly that was not the case, haha. Natalie did send me a picture of each new dog as it arrived, which is how I found out. BUT it actually worked out great! My dog loved having some friends to hang out with while we were gone. I think my dog will be sleeping for a few days now after having so much fun.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
About: I've cared for dogs my whole life from bouncy puppies to seniors. Ive had 8 dogs over the years, and I've volunteered many animal shelters, so I'm comfortable with every breed, size, and personality, including the shy, anxious, or the high energy ones that need a little extra patience. Here's what sets me apart. First, I do photo and video for a living, so the daily updates you get from me won't be blurry phone pics. You'll always know exactly how they're doing, and you'll come home to real proof they were happy the whole time. Second, your dog gets my full one-on-one attention, no crowded kennel, no revolving door of dogs, just calm, focused care and someone who's actually present with them. And third, I keep their world exactly as they know it: same feeding times, same walks, same comfort spots, so nothing about their routine has to change just because you're away. Above all, I'm calm, attentive, and obsessed with getting the details right feeding times, walk routines, favorite toys, all of it. I treat every dog like my own. Let's start with a free Meet & Greet so you and your pup can get comfortable with me before you book anything. I work part-time on a flexible schedule, so your dog gets steady attention throughout the day instead of a sitter rushing in and out. I'm available for overnight stays and I respond fast usually within minutes. I'm also happy to be flexible on drop-off and pick-up times when travel plans shift (canceled flights and traffic happen I've got you). Message me your dates and let's set up a quick Meet & Greet. In your home (house sitting): I keep your dog's world exactly as they know it same feeding times, same walks, same comfy spots. I'm respectful and tidy in your space, follow every instruction you leave, and keep your home locked up and secure. I stay overnight so your dog is never alone, and you'll get regular photo and video updates so you can relax on your trip. In my home (boarding): Your dog gets a calm, clean, one-on-one environment with my full attention no crowded kennel, no chaos. I live in a non-smoking home in Downtown Fort Lauderdale with easy access to walks and parks nearby, and dogs are always welcome on the couch and bed so they never feel shut out.

I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my availability depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I make sure your pet gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment and always follow your pet’s routine closely. I’m attentive, responsible, and make sure pets feel safe and loved at all times.

“Anita Took great care of our precious baby. She was so happy during her stay with her. We really appreciate it and it allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. Thank you so much, Anita!”
“Becca took amazing care of my fur-son! Her daily updates kept me totally at ease. Also, every photo showed him living his best life. He looked so happy and comfortable at her place that I started to worry he might not even want to come home! 😄 will definitely be booking her again her.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ariel was truly incredible, and we cannot thank her enough for the amazing care she provided to our princess, Pinky 🐶. From start to finish, Ariel went above and beyond to make sure Pinky felt safe, loved, and comfortable. She was so attentive, patient, and genuinely caring—treating Pinky like her own. We received thoughtful updates, and it was clear that Pinky was happy and well cared for the entire time. Ariel’s kindness, reliability, and dedication gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her outstanding support and service. If you’re looking for someone who will truly love and care for your fur baby, Ariel is the absolute best. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
“Judy and her family are such amazing people. They treat our dog just like their own and give him so much love while he is there staying with them. Will always recommend booking with Judy!”
“Ely and Alexa are my go to sitter! I will choose them over and over again. They constantly keep me updated on my baby girl with videos and pictures. I highly recommend them.”
“Kristi has watched my dog twice within two weeks time. She was phenomenal. Her communication, the updates, and even the care. My dog came home so tired and I could tell he had lots of fun. Thank you Kristi”
“Sebastian watched our dog while we were in Florida for our wedding. The last thing we wanted to worry about was our dog (aka our child) while getting married so knowing he was well taken care of made was so amazing. He worked around our schedule, sent photos and kept us updated. 10/10.”
