“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“She was so amazing with my dog I just rescued! He absolutely LOVED her and she took such good care of him while he was still recovering ❤️🩹 100% the best dog sitter I’ve had!”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Simply amazing! Could not ask for anyone better to watch my pup. I was nervous because my shepherd can be a handful due to her energy levels. Ana took great care and treated my pup as one of her own. Highly recommended and will definitely book again.”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jessica and her husband were more than hospitable to our pups. They kept us updated with pics and text letting us know how they were getting on. Great communication and amazing people. Worth every penny!”
“Sam is an amazing dog person and sitter. I’ve used her multiple times and Thor always has a great time. She sends pictures of him when he’s outside which is always a great thing to get. Would definitely recommend and will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Jeannette and her family were great! They gave my pup lots of love and playtime while I was away. She communicated well and was good with keeping me updated on how my pup was doing!”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I start my mornings by getting my son to school between 8:30-9. Mondays & Thursdays I Work From Home with 1 dog. Tuesday Wednesday & Thursdays I’m Working In Destin. Bubba has soccer now so we attend practices and games. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“We had a great experience! She took excellent care of our dogs, kept us updated, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Robert and his wife have been so awesome! We’ve used them multiple times and our dogs are always excited and run right in to his home when we drop them off. We are sad we’re moving and won’t be able to keep using them!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Nancy is awesome. I felt totally comfortable trusting her to care for our new kitten while we were out of town. She always provided 2 photos of our kitten each drop-in which was comforting.

I asked her to just leave the dishes in the sink, but she went ahead and washed them off, which was a nice surprise. She was also right on time every day. Wonderful pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m happy to keep their routine consistent by cleaning the litter box, refreshing food and water, giving oral medications if needed, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“This was my first time leaving my kitty alone and he made me feel so comfortable! I was updated regularity with pictures, his communication was great, and he was able to give my baby medicine no problem. I also came home to a clean house after he house sat. Communication was great and I will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter!”

About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks!

About: I’m not sure that I’m much different then most pet loving people. I do have experience training adults and puppies, I have had a variety of breeds for pets.

I have a large fenced in backyard with a pool. If your baby likes to swim, provide the life jacket and we will have some fun in the water.

Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young, from hamsters to fish to dogs and more. I've managed both calm and trouble making animals and have experience dealing with the full age range of pets due to my personal experience as a dog owner, and from my time volunteering as a foster home for dog shelters. I'm currently working part-time, and so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available for just about hour of day for any period of time. Taking care of animals has been my weekly norm since I was a kid, so it's just what I'm used to. I have a large fenced yard for pets to feel free and roam around, and I've a multitude of my own resources at home such as bowls, crates, and pens to be used as needed. I usually like to give a pet a feel of independence to wander however they'd like throughout the home and yard, but can easily step in if greater supervision is needed. I'm usually always in the same space as my animals.

Whether you're at work or on vacation, I provide professional, loving, and reliable care, ensuring your pet feels safe and happy. I work from home and am always available for walks and potty breaks. On Sundays, I am away for three hours. Each morning, I will provide either a walk or a play session to support the dog's physical and mental stimulation. I will also monitor their behavior to ensure they are comfortable and have a stress-free environment. I allow my dog to roam freely around the house and to lay on the couch with me. At bedtime, pets are allowed to sleep on their dog beds or in their crate, depending on what the parents prefer. Water is always available, and there are plenty of toys for them to play with.

Midday will bring another chance for outdoor adventure, ensuring your pet is happy and active.

Mental Stimulation: We can practice tricks and provide treats (approved by you, of course!) to keep their minds sharp and engaged. Consistent Potty Breaks: Another walk is always on the agenda later in the day to ensure they're comfortable. Attentive Care: I'm always checking on water levels and food, ensuring they get the perfect amount of outdoor time, and watching for any signs of discomfort. Nighttime Routine: As the day winds down, I help them settle into their evening routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. For their comfort and security, your pet is welcome to sleep in my room (unless you prefer they have their own designated, comfortable space). Daily Updates: You'll receive regular photo and text updates, so you can see how much fun your pet is having and have complete peace of mind. To ensure your pet feels perfectly at home and comfortable during their stay, please pack everything they'll need for their visit. This helps maintain their routine and makes them feel more secure! Here's a quick list to get you started: Their Bed: Please ensure it's thoroughly clean before drop-off, or I can clean it for an additional fee. Food: Enough for their entire stay, plus a little extra just in case! Food & Water Bowls Favorite Toys Collar & Leash Crate (if applicable): If they are crate-trained or use one for sleeping. Any Medications with clear instructions. Anything else you feel is necessary to make their stay feel like home!

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care. Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.

If they are more skittish I will make sure to be gentle and aware of making any loud noises. If they are more cuddly, they’re getting all the pets!

“Sarah has been really good with my puppy and very patient with my older dog. She’s also very accommodating with our crazy schedule right now and works either us when things change.”
About: While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them. Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own. At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.
About: I have worked as a kennel tech for dog daycare and took care of multiple dogs with different personalities. I’ve also pet sat cats and dogs for family friends. I typically work 4-5 days a week and work to integrate your pet needs into my schedule so that they’re taken care of while you’re away At a clients home I like to go over any safety precautions and routines so I can stick to what your pet is familiar with while I’m there.

“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Simply amazing! Could not ask for anyone better to watch my pup. I was nervous because my shepherd can be a handful due to her energy levels. Ana took great care and treated my pup as one of her own. Highly recommended and will definitely book again.”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“Jessica and her husband were more than hospitable to our pups. They kept us updated with pics and text letting us know how they were getting on. Great communication and amazing people. Worth every penny!”
“Sam is an amazing dog person and sitter. I’ve used her multiple times and Thor always has a great time. She sends pictures of him when he’s outside which is always a great thing to get. Would definitely recommend and will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Jeannette and her family were great! They gave my pup lots of love and playtime while I was away. She communicated well and was good with keeping me updated on how my pup was doing!”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I start my mornings by getting my son to school between 8:30-9. Mondays & Thursdays I Work From Home with 1 dog. Tuesday Wednesday & Thursdays I’m Working In Destin. Bubba has soccer now so we attend practices and games. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Robert and his wife have been so awesome! We’ve used them multiple times and our dogs are always excited and run right in to his home when we drop them off. We are sad we’re moving and won’t be able to keep using them!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! He gave me at least one daily update without prompt! He made the first experience with the app the best and will definitely continue to use him! 10 out of 10. Much better than doggie daycare.”
“Rachel and Cody are awesome! They made us feel very comfortable concerning the care we wanted for our Angus. I've never used Rover before and was a little worried about how it would turn out. Angus loved it and I didn't know he loved cats! Lol. Rachel and Cody are now my go to sitters! I absolutely and highly recommend them!”
“David & Krysta took such great care of Enzo while we were away. Great communication and were flexible with our needs for pickup & drop off. Seemed like Enzo felt right at home with them”
“Vanessa was a godsend. We was looking for somewhere to put our puppy last minute when we ran across the Rover app. We liked Vanessa's profile and decided to go with her. We are so glad that we did. She was very helpful as this was our first time leaving our baby. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. She was very understanding when our puppy had accidents. We could tell our little girl had a blast while she was there with her. On a scale of 1 to 10 Vanessa is an 11!”
