“Laura was amazing! She took such great care of my cat for 4 days and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was very kind, attentive, and reliable, and I could tell my cat was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely trust Laura to watch my cat again and highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Valeria was great! She is the first person I’ve ever used on rover and I dont see a need to use anyone else. I was a little nervous about leaving my dog for the first time in a new city but she assured me everything would be fine.(and it was) She sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated! Josie came home tired so I know she got plenty of play time. 100/10 would recommend!”
“We were extremely satisfied with Camilla. Out dogs were comfortable and pictures was sent over to us everyday. Now our dogs are spoiled, but we love it. 😊”
“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 :)”
“Thank you so much Elizabeth! Your boys were so sweet with our Rigo. You were able to manage his anxiety extremely well. It is such a great feeling to know our fur babies are cared and loved. You will be seeing Rigo again. Thanks again.”
“Jessica was fantastic. She kept me updated with texts, vids, and photos, and Snickers had a great time with her son. I definitely recommend Jessica for your dog sitting needs.”
“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Anita was fantastic! Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.”
“I had such an amazing experience with Maria D. as my dog sitter! ❤️ She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy and kept me updated every step of the way. She constantly sent me photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I was right there with them. I had a really bad experience with a previous sitter where my dog actually went missing on the first day of babysitting and was gone for 24 hours. 😔 Because of that experience, I was honestly nervous about trusting someone with my puppy again. But Maria completely changed that experience for me. She was caring, responsible, attentive, and made sure I always knew how my puppy was doing. Her home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and she was so friendly and welcoming. You can truly tell that Maria loves animals and treats them like family. 🐶❤️ I would 100% recommend booking with Maria D.! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and loving to watch your fur baby, she is definitely the person to choose. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Lee Ann and her family are so wonderful with our pup Moose! She sends frequent updates and pictures which made us feel so comfortable being away from our fur baby. We’ve already rebooked her multiple times and will continue to do so. Moose loves getting to hang with her sweet golden as well!”
“Debi is phenomenal,caring and loving. She took great care of my Buddy and I'm certainly using her again. She is very attentive, responsive and always sending me pictures as well. I totally recommend Debi to watch your pup.”
“We had a great experience with Gregory. He was friendly and showed us where Tulum would be staying, which helped us feel comfortable leaving him there. He was also very communicative throughout the stay and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated. Tulum is shy with strangers, but he looked happy and comfortable, especially with a toy he borrowed during his stay. Right before pickup, Tulum got a tiny cut from a bush, and the sitter was very straightforward about it and told us immediately when we arrived. It looked minor and Tulum seemed totally fine, and we really appreciated his honesty. Overall, we felt Gregory was attentive and thoughtful, we would definitely use him again.”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life — growing up with several of both, and currently living with one cat of my own. I'm comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, from playful puppies to shy senior cats. I'm responsive, detail-oriented, and experienced giving medication on a routine-schedule, so pets with medical needs are never an issue for me. I work from home running my own business, which gives me a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house-sitting at your home, with plenty of time to give your pet attention and stick to their routine. When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail as my own. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding times, medication schedules, and routines — and I'm comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I always make sure doors are secure and your home is left just as I found it.

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my dog Dukie! She took such care of him while I was away and every day she sent me photos and updates to let me know he was doing well.

“We received communication throughout the stay and felt comfortable that our dog was well cared for; would definitely book again and recommend.”
“We arrived in Fort Lauderdale for an extended vacation. Between the long drive here from Chicago and the different settings on the way our somewhat clingy dog was even more clingy and nervous than usual. She was at our side constantly, but we needed to find a sitter for a few hours/days to allow us to golf, fish, etc. without the dog at our side. Tho we were nervous about leaving Bella with a stranger in a new place, it all worked out beautifully. Jody's house was well set up for pets and her own dogs were very friendly. Jody was very welcoming and calmed our fears. When we returned, we half expected to see our dog acting anxious, but she was just as calm and happy as if she had spent the day with us. We won't hesitate to call on Jody again for our next outing. We'd recommend Jody to anyone needing someone to care for their dog while away.”
“Awesome everything was great.We got updates and photos of our dog and he was so happy and comfortable.If your looking for good care this is the person you want.”

I promise to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day so you always know they are happy and safe. When your pup stays with me, they will have access to a private, secure, fenced yard for playing and exploring, plus the best company: my sweet miniature dachshund, Hazel, who loves making new friends! Beyond the belly rubs, playtime and socialization, I am deeply committed to maintaining their routine, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of daily exercise. Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.

About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, including raising and caring for my own beloved dog, Nina, for over 16 years through every stage of her life, from energetic younger years to the extra patience and attentiveness that come with senior care. In addition to caring for my own pet, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, both in my home and in theirs, and I also have experience caring for cats. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe consistency is incredibly important when caring for animals. Whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, or simply respecting the structure pets are used to, I make it a priority to follow your care instructions closely. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, organized, attentive to detail, and committed to keeping pets safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication matters, so you can expect thoughtful updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week, including accommodating a variety of pet care routines and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I take scheduling commitments seriously so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for on time and according to the routines they know and trust. My goal is to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into both your schedule and your pet’s daily routine. Having been a devoted pet owner myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with your pet’s care. I know pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe great pet care starts with paying close attention to details and following each owner’s instructions carefully, whether that involves feeding schedules, walk preferences, medications, household rules, or recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior. I work hard to maintain the routines pets are familiar with so they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always a priority, both during visits and on walks, and I’m attentive to ensuring pets remain safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I also believe communication matters, so you can expect regular updates and check-ins for added peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space, attentive to security, and committed to leaving your home exactly as I found it.

Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.”
“I had such an amazing experience with Maria D. as my dog sitter! ❤️ She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy and kept me updated every step of the way. She constantly sent me photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I was right there with them. I had a really bad experience with a previous sitter where my dog actually went missing on the first day of babysitting and was gone for 24 hours. 😔 Because of that experience, I was honestly nervous about trusting someone with my puppy again. But Maria completely changed that experience for me. She was caring, responsible, attentive, and made sure I always knew how my puppy was doing. Her home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and she was so friendly and welcoming. You can truly tell that Maria loves animals and treats them like family. 🐶❤️ I would 100% recommend booking with Maria D.! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and loving to watch your fur baby, she is definitely the person to choose. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Lee Ann and her family are so wonderful with our pup Moose! She sends frequent updates and pictures which made us feel so comfortable being away from our fur baby. We’ve already rebooked her multiple times and will continue to do so. Moose loves getting to hang with her sweet golden as well!”
“We had a great experience with Gregory. He was friendly and showed us where Tulum would be staying, which helped us feel comfortable leaving him there. He was also very communicative throughout the stay and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated. Tulum is shy with strangers, but he looked happy and comfortable, especially with a toy he borrowed during his stay. Right before pickup, Tulum got a tiny cut from a bush, and the sitter was very straightforward about it and told us immediately when we arrived. It looked minor and Tulum seemed totally fine, and we really appreciated his honesty. Overall, we felt Gregory was attentive and thoughtful, we would definitely use him again.”
“Spike has stayed with Kristy a few different times now. He always comes home happy and like he felt right at home. If we can’t take home with us on a trip, I feel at ease knowing he is in good hands with Kristy and her family!”
“Antonio looked after our Shiba Inu for 10 days and from the initial meet and greet to collecting our boy today, the experience has been amazing. Antonio is super friendly and professional. I loved the photos and kind messages he sent every day - this made it really reassuring that our boy was happy and well looked after. I highly recommend Antonio!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my dog Dukie! She took such care of him while I was away and every day she sent me photos and updates to let me know he was doing well. Knowing Dukie was happy, safe, and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. I truly appreciate how caring, attentive, and communicative Michelle was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal. Daily pictures, regular updates, and treated my pupper like he was her own. She worked with me on scheduling and made sure he got plenty of exercise. She is my number one choice if I have to go out of town and need a dog sitter!”
“Natalie was an exceptional dog sitter who went above and beyond. She kept me updated with adorable pictures of my furry baby and cared for him as if he were her own. I am deeply appreciative of her kindness and professionalism, and I will absolutely rely on her services again in the future.”
“Big thank you to Andrea who cared for my 2 dogs. Andrea was kind, down to earth, very communicative and flexible. She sent pictures to me while away. My Charlee who is normally an anxious dog had great fun with Andreas' dog. I was thankful for Andreas' great care and will definitely use her again!”
“Svetlana was so loving and caring with Bo! She sent pictures and videos daily, which put us at ease. He sometimes can get anxious but when we picked him up, he was so happy. We will definitely trust our Bo to stay with Svetlana in the future!”
“Kacie did an amazing job taking care of Sophie! She kept me updated throughout her stay and made sure Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Kacie was incredibly sweet, attentive, and thoughtful, and I could tell she genuinely cared about Sophie. I would absolutely recommend Kacie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 💕🐾”
“I went out of town for about 12 days and used Rover for the first time to board my 2 cats since it was too long to leave them alone. I found Kristi to be a very understanding person despite some mishaps with the dropoff timing and that one of the cats peed on the bed 2 days after the dropoff, likely due to being scared of the new surroundings. Kristi did a great job with adapting to difficulties with the cats like putting gates on the bed. I picked up my cats and they were in great condition. I would definitely board my cats with Kristi again.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all life stages from playful puppies to gentle seniors. As well as all sizes from small breeds to big pups. Whether your dog needs structured walks, trips to the dog park, careful adherence to a specific feeding schedule or specialized attention like administering medication, I am fully equipped to handle it with care and confidence. For boarding I’m available 7 days a week! Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Even though I work a full-time job Monday through Friday (8am-5pm) I live five minutes away from my workplace, which allows me to easily check in on my lunch breaks to manage feeding times and give potty breaks throughout the day. In the evenings and all weekend long I am home full time to hang out, play in the yard with Hazel and cuddle. For daycare I’m available weekends for full daycare.(Note: because of my Monday-Friday work hours, weekday daycare availability is limited but please reach out to see if we can make your schedule work!) I have a true passion for animals; I believe it is my calling in life. I truly love and enjoy taking care of them because they are more than just pets, they are family. I will love and care for your dog just like my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend behind and worry about their safety. Because I understand that anxiety, your peace of mind is my top priority. I promise to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day so you always know they are happy and safe. When your pup stays with me, they will have access to a private, secure, fenced yard for playing and exploring, plus the best company: my sweet miniature dachshund, Hazel, who loves making new friends! Beyond the belly rubs, playtime and socialization, I am deeply committed to maintaining their routine, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of daily exercise. Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.
“Maria sent us daily updates with photos. Quinn is an anxious dog who needs a lot of TLC. Maria understood Quinn’s love of the outside an other dogs and made sure she had a lot of attention. Much appreciated for taking such good care of our girl.”
