“Zuleica was just great with our Fluffy. I felt really at ease with her, she communicated very well and kept us informed on everything. Will definitely recommend her and will definitely keep her in mind for any other needed stays for our Fluffy.”
“Carla was a great sitter. My girls were cuddled and lived on and very well taken care of. She sent pics and made sure I knew how they were throughout the visit. Xoxo ?”
“Our pup Vinny had the best time with Becky! He loved making more friends and having a yard to run around in. Snuggles at night were an added bonus! Becky is able to read dogs really well and was good at cutting off unwanted behavior and introducing dogs who needed time to adapt to each other. Vinny seemed to have the best time and we will absolutely use Becky again and again!”
“First stay for my 2 pitbull mixes to stay with Linda for 5 nights and they seemed very happy. I had accidentally messed up the dates but Linda was able to accommodate me on short notice. She was quick to respond whenever I asked for updates and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my two dogs with her. Will definitely book again.”
“As always, Heather and Brenden take wonderful care of our dog Chewy. They send pictures and updates. Chewy always has a great time and is very well cared for.”
“I was really nervous about leaving my girls with strangers, but after meeting Sarahi and Leandro, I felt more at ease. They are so welcoming and took such great care of them, I loved getting daily pictures and videos of them playing and even a cute Christmas card on Christmas Eve with a cute Christmas outfit. I will definitely be back and use them again. Recommending them a 100 %.”
“Sarah did a great job with John! John was obviously comfortable with her as noticed when we arrived to pick him up! (He ran back to her after greeting us as if to say, “My family is here! Do you see my family?”) He was clearly well cared for. We are planning another trip this month and he’ll be staying with Sarah again!”
“Rebecca was so kind and her family too!! I felt very at ease to have our dog be with them. She would send us daily pictures and was very responsive. Definitely consider Rebecca for your fur baby. Our dog seemed very happy with her!! Thank you ☺️”
“We have booked Mia & Jason twice now for several days at a time and they have taken such great care of our girl Yara, treating her like their own. They follow our care instructions and have sent updates and cute pictures of Yara enjoying her stay. She always comes home happy and tired (which is a good sign that she's getting lots of playtime!) We would not hesitate to book them again!”
“Kevin is a dog guy and was a perfect fit for my little dude. Upon arrival we were shown the dog play area which was more that sufficient and he also introduced us to the other pups mine would be mingling with. During the stay Kevin was quick to share pictures and video to confirm all pups were fast friends playing in the large backyard. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return.”
“Shannon and Chris were so sweet to our Mochi. They both made an effort to get to know him at meet and greet. We could tell right away that they're animal lovers and felt very comforted that our puppy has someone who actually cares for him take care of him while we're away. Mochi seemed very happy when we picked him up and Shannon and Chris also gave us a run-through of his day with them.”
“Vanessa was excellent with Onyx. Onyx immediately felt at home and Vanessa kept us informed throughout her stay. I like how Vanessa keeps the dogs separated to prevent any possible conflicts. We will utilize Vanessa’s services again!”
“Caroline was excellent and took great care of Leo for the short time. She sent photos and updates throughout the weekend which gave peace of mind. She even took amazing photos that are print worthy! Thank you!”
“Jennifer and her spouse, Boris, did a fantastic job taking care of my pet. Great communication and plenty of photos. Would definitely book again with her in the future.”
“MJ was the BEST! She helped my dog feel at ease and loved him just like we would. I could tell that my dog had a wonderful stay. She also kept me posted with photos while we were away ?”
“So nice to be able to relax on vacation and have peace of mind that my pup is well looked after! Second time booking with Melanie and Troy and will definitely book again in the future.”
“Fantastic as always! Leaving our dog with Bruce is always a great experience, with excellent communication and lots of pictures showing us how our pup is doing. Knowing our boy is with Bruce makes being out of town easier, since we know how well taken care of he is. Thank you again!”
“Kayla did an excellent job taking care of JR for us. She went above and beyond. She sent regular pictures and we could tell that she made him feel right at home. Her back yard was a plus for him. We were so thankful for her wonderful service and highly recommend her.”
“This was my first time booking through Rover; although I've researched and made requests before now. I have to say that all of my uncertainties for my 10-month old puppy's care were laid to rest after the boarding stay. Debra and her sister Wendy were awesome! At drop off, they asked questions to ensure Piper's stay would be like home accommodated accordingly. Daily pictures and notes were sent, but most of all, Piper looked happy, and came home happy and not stressed! Dare I say they spoiled him more than I would (in a good way!). I think I've found my "regular" daycare and boarding service! I would definitely recommend.”

“Jenna is great with my old lady cat and goes above and beyond. When we are away I know that my KC is well taken care of. I try to not book last minute but when I have to Jenna has always been accommodating.”
“We booked with Brooke for our 3 cats so that we could visit Italy for a couple of weeks for our wedding/honeymoon. One of our cats (Frankie) is special needs, and midway through our trip she injured herself. Brooke responded to the issue immediately and with so much care and compassion. She helped coordinate her care, shared tons of photos and updates, and just generally made us feel confident that our kitty had someone who was making sure everything was being handled for her. We are so grateful to Brooke for the level of care that she showed to Frankie and our other two cats, and we would recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be a recurring client of hers. Thank you Brooke!”
“Luna is the only sitter we trust with our two cats. We’ve been using her for a year now, and we are always so delighted by the care she takes with our boys. We have one very scared and skittish cat, and she is slowly, but surely gaining his trust on his terms. She is so good with them. Highly recommend.”
“They are such a nice sitters! They kept me informed on how my cat was and how he was doing definitely will be booking with them again! I know they put in extra effort to make sure your animal is taken care of.”
“Cali did such a good job with Baker! Lots of playtime and hangouts on the porch, which he loved. She sent lots of pictures and was a great communicator while we were gone. Highly recommend!!”
“Michelle was an absolutely phenomenal sitter for my two cats. She sent detailed reports of how her visits were and how my pets were doing. She documented when they ate and went to the bathroom. She sent me many photo also. I would definitely hire her to watch my pets again. I was left with completely peace of mind with Michelle as my sitter!!”
“This was my first time leaving my cats with a sitter, so I was initially a little anxious, but I can without a doubt say Kellye helped tremendously with putting my mind at ease. She sent photos and kept me updated each day with details from her visits. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone book with her — she will take great care of your fur babies!! I will definitely be booking with her again if I ever need a sitter.”
“Kelley is kind and caring! She provides very good care for my animals! I feel comfortable having Kelley come to provide care for my pets while I’m away! Kelley sends the cutest pictures of my fur babies! Kelley is very good at answering any questions or concerns! Thank you Kelley!”
“Anna did a great job watching our furry babies cleaning up the furballs when there was some and keepingthe house tidy. She was very great about giving us updates on them with pictures included. She seems to care a lot about what she is doing and the babies seemed really content when we got home like they didn't miss us much :-D. We have already used her services twice.”
“Isabella was absolutely amazing. She was so communicative while we were out of town. We even have a little issue with one of our cats and she handled it flawlessly! We couldn’t be happier with Isabella!”
“Loved having Becca check in on our two cats! She came over for a meet and greet before the scheduled visit and I think that was really good for our cats. During the check-in She cleaned litter boxes, changed the cat water, fixed the feeder my cat had knocked over, played, gave treats, and brushed them. So thorough! I appreciate her taking the time with them, especially Zelda who typically just hides when someone new comes over. Definitely recommended Becca if you need someone to check in on your cats while you’re away!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I could walk. I have helped my family raise 3 kittens, and helped care for two senior diabetic cats - including daily insulin shots. I now have an amazing 5 year old cat that I adopted during Covid as a baby and is my best friend. Cats have a special place in my heart and I am willing to give your cat as much (or as little) attention as they want.
“Jackie did a fantastic job of taking care of our kitties, our house, and our peace-of-mind while we were traveling. It is so comforting to know when your pet sitter arrives, to get an immediate report with loads of photos, and know that everything and everyone is being taken care of. Words cannot adequately express how happy we are with Jackie's service, and we enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services.”
“I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough. From the moment I entrusted my three cats to her care, I knew they were in excellent hands. One of my cats, Hope, has special medical needs and requires nebulizer treatments. She handled those treatments with confidence, patience, and ease, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It's not easy to find someone who is both capable and comfortable providing that level of care. Beyond meeting their physical needs, she genuinely spent quality time with all three of my cats. She played with them, gave them attention and affection, and treated them as if they were her own. It was clear from the photos and updates she sent that she truly cared about their well-being and happiness. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and professional. Every visit was communicated clearly, and I received thoughtful updates and pictures each time, which meant so much to me. As a pet parent, especially to a cat with medical needs, that level of communication is invaluable. What sets her apart is her empathy and genuine love for animals. She doesn't simply "check in" on pets, she cares for them. Knowing my cats were safe, loved, and receiving excellent care allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without worry. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, dependable, and exceptional with animals, I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Peter was amazing with our 3 cats. All of our cats are either taking medications or special diets, and he confidently took on the tasks of handling all of their needs. He even learned how to “pill” the cats. We were especially impressed when our neediest cat was looking for him after he left. Clearly, the cats really liked him. We are really comfortable scheduling all of our cat/house-sitting needs with Peter in the future.”

“This is our first time using Rover. We were out of town and needed someone to take care of our fur-baby for a day due that he had an emergency surgery. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne. Our fur-baby doesn’t stay just with anyone. He loved Lee-Anne from the time he arrived. That kept me at ease and happy. Lee-Anne asked us if it was ok to send us texts with updates. I told her that I truly appreciate asking becuase we wanted updates. Lee-Anne send us tons of videos and pictures. Lee-Anne followed our furbaby’s medicines and feeding instructions. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne services and highly recommend her. We will be using Lee-Anne when he come back to the Orlando area. Thank you for taking great care of our fur-baby. Our fur-baby was very happy.”
“As always what a great experience for our toy poodle. We had him stayed a day only, but they made it so easy and flexible for us. They kept us posted about our boy’s wellbeing throughout the day and we were so happy to see him enjoying it. Our boy just likes it. We can only recommend Fahriye to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarding.”
“Maria saved the day! We were in town for graduation and our dog was whining when we left him at daughter’s new apartment. Maria was available immediately and she was so sweet, had a great house, yard, and son to help our dog feel better about staying in a new place. She also sent lots of pics and kept in touch so we wouldn’t have to worry.??”
“Becky was an amazing sitter! She took care of Oli as if she were her own. She sent us pictures every day and kept us updated with everything. She was very loving and we will be leaving Oli with her again in the future for sure!”
“Ms. April and family were amazing with Choco?. I recommend them 100%. We will definitely be seeing them again soon. Thank you for been so professional and easy to communicate with.”
“Ailin did such an amazing job with our dog! This is the first time our dog was with a sitter for an entire day, and she did so well with her. She updated us on how our dog was doing. She found ways to calm our dog, and so our dog was comfortable enough to eat, which is something she doesn’t do with sitters. Overall, it was a great experience, thank you!”
“This was my first time using the site and I decided to go with Bruce and it was the BEST decision!!! Bruce has a beautiful home and its SUPER clean, which was very important to me. His lawn in his back yard is just as beautiful...no dirt...all plush green grass!! Bruce explained everything during our meet-&-greet. Bruce was ready to receive my pup when we arrived and provided him lots of attention, cuddles, and love! Bruce sent pics of my pup it seemed like every hour and it was very comforting to me to get those pics and updates on how my pup was doing. He even makes sure to introduce the dogs to each other slowly and always with supervision to ensure each dog's safety. All the things mentioned was EXTREMELY important to me and I felt very confidant that my pup was going to get the BEST of care while I was away. I will definitely be using Bruce from here on out!!Thanks Bruce for being so AWESOME and Sir Spencer will be back for sure!!!”
“Leda was so kind and loving with my Beau! I didn’t worry about him at all while we were at Disney all day. She sent updates and photos. Wonderful experience!”
“10 Stars. Stetson had a wonderful time!!! Best sitter ever. Perfect environment. Stetson got lots of love, treats, and met new friends. Very experienced and knowledgeable care taker for your pup.”
About: I got my first dog when I was in 6th grade and he was a shitzu. He was the calmest dog I ever had and people told me he kind of resembled me. That was 14 years ago and I have learned a lot of patience, love, and care throughout that time. After he passed 6 years ago, I’ve continued to love animals through fostering (longest was 2 months) and dog sitting both short term and long term. While your pet stays in my home overnight, I will give all my attention to whatever needs they have. I will play with your dog as if they were my own because that is how much I I love them. My special skill is that I am patient with pretty much everything I do so when it comes to your pets, I will keep a cool head when things get “hairy”. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to give them attention and company. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking trails that will be perfect to explore! I try my best to treat all pets as if they were my own. I also don’t mind if they snuggle next to me on the bed or if they want to relax on the couch.
“So blessed to have found Iliana! I know that Bruno is well taken care of, not only is he in a happy/loving environment but also safe. I will definitely keep bringing Bruno back! 🥰”
“I made a last minute decision to have my pup go to doggy day care for the week while my other two dogs recovered from surgeries. Denys responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate our times which I really didn't think anyone would do. She is a great person and my dog loves her and her whole family. My pup came home happy and tired every evening and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Denys did a great job keeping up with Furia's potty training, I think she may have actually gotten my pup to be better about going outside. I never worried about my dog and any time I did text I got a quick response with plenty of updates. I really enjoyed chatting with Denys, she is so sweet and I can tell she really loves what she does. I would absolutely recommend having her watch your pet, I know my pup had no shortage of attention over there and I really like that.”
“Brittany was a quick to respond to my questions and was very accommodating on my last-minute request. Once I met her, I felt relieved I had decided to bring my Chico along and leave him with her for the day while I went to an appointment. He was obviously in good hands.”
“This is the second time Willow has been to Rebecca‘s house and you might think they’ve been best buds forever! Today had a bonus…she got to play with Rebecca‘s daughters! Rebecca is definitely a keeper when it comes to taking care of my girl. I’m very grateful to have found her 😊”
“Lily always has such a great time at Lisa’s and it’s so nice not to worry about her while she’s there! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a place for their dog to call their 2nd home!”

“Jenna was prompt, communicative and very quick to make friends with our pup. She asked lots of great questions about our pup’s habits and needs. We have already booked several more appointments and know that our pup will be well cared for!”
“Perfect as always! Great communication, photos, and videos. All of my fur babies love her. She takes the best care of them and you tell how much she actually cares. She even made an adorable Christmas ornament of Rigby.! Couldn’t ask for more.”
“Jackie took such good care of our dogs, she listening to all the details of the care instructions, and took great care and consideration of our home. She truly went above and beyond and made us feel totally at ease that our pups and home were in good hands!! Thanks you Jackie!”
“I found Erika when I needed a s walker in a pinch and she was so flexible and kind to my dog. My dog can be shy and she was so patient with Josie. Erika has not only years of experience but a heart for dogs. If you want a responsible, trustworthy sitter I recommend this outstanding sitter. I would not hesitate to call on her again.”
“Cristina is amazing. She comes through for me always and helps me out a lot. There have been several times at the last minute she has been able to bail me out with emergency coverage and is just the best.”

“Peter has been an amazing dog walker for my dog, Mia. He is incredibly kind, reliable, and highly communicative, always keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind when I am at work. Most importantly, Mia absolutely loves him and is always excited to see him! It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and treats them like his own. Thank you, Peter, for taking such great care of Mia. We truly appreciate you!”
“This was my first time using Rover, but I was going to some theme parks for 2 days and brought my dogs with me from out of town. I knew I couldn't leave them for hours without a potty break, and I have to admit I was anxious since this is the first time using a service like this, but Carli was awesome the entire way through! I'm super grateful to have the option for someone to come walk my dogs and I'm super grateful Carli was so communicative and my dogs were taken care of! I'm coming back to use the rest of my park tickets, and I will definitely book her again. Thank you Carli!!”
“Makenna was awesome! She’s very professional, sweet to my baby girl and easy to talk and make plans with. She followed the instructions well and took the time to learn how to express my dog’s bladder. She’s a gem. I’ll definitely be calling her again to pet sit! If I could I’d give 6 stars!!!”
“Rose did an excellent job caring for our dog. She kept us updated with great communication throughout our vacation, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in her care. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Autumn followed instructions perfectly so I could feel safe leaving my fur baby. She provided many photos, was professional and I would not hesitate to book her again. She was dependable an d obviously was caring and sweet with animals. I recommend her 100%!”
“Shirel communicated clearly with me. It was a rainy evening, but she was flexible and came 30 minutes later so we could give the rain a chance to stop… Which it did. Shayna enjoyed her time with Shirel. I plan on getting her again and would highly recommend her”
“Hayley was friendly and sweet with our energetic lab. She arrived on time and took him for a great walk that helped to drain off some of his endless puppy energy. She was confident, even though he's a big boy and we will definitely use her again.”
“Reached out to Vianka super last minute and she was able to squeeze me in. She constantly communicated with me and provided updates and pictures on both my pets. Thank you once again! ♥️”
“Addie has been great with my boy Jax. Sends pics and has been super helpful with last minute bookings😊 She even set his fan up to make sure he cooled down after his walk, which was super sweet! Thanks Addie!”

“This was my first time booking through Rover; although I've researched and made requests before now. I have to say that all of my uncertainties for my 10-month old puppy's care were laid to rest after the boarding stay. Debra and her sister Wendy were awesome! At drop off, they asked questions to ensure Piper's stay would be like home accommodated accordingly. Daily pictures and notes were sent, but most of all, Piper looked happy, and came home happy and not stressed! Dare I say they spoiled him more than I would (in a good way!). I think I've found my "regular" daycare and boarding service! I would definitely recommend.”
“Eric saved us and we are so glad to have found him! We moved to FL within the last 2 months and we had a 2 week long trip coming up so we were in a pinch. After a great meet and greet we learned Eric is kind and professional, and that our dog Stanley would be safe and have a great time. It was clear that while we were on our vacation, Stanley would be on his own vacation too. There were lots of other friendly dogs for him to play with and it seemed they took him into their pack. When you leave for a long time, you worry that your dog might be bored or lonely. We know that at Eric’s house, he never will be. Will definitely be returning for any future boarding needs.”
“Marie was kind, attentive, and communicative! She consistently provided updates on Maggie May’s comfort level. She also immediately reached out if she identified any behavior of concern. She even went out to buy pumpkin for Maggie’s upset stomach because I had neglected to pack some for her. Thank you so much Marie for taking such great care of my baby! ❤️”
“Dolly had a great time! Good communication throughout her visit and she always looked happy! Photos and videos are always appreciated and they did a great job with that as well! Will book again”
“Liliana is absolutely the best of the best. She treats your fur baby as if they are her own. She totally connects with them. My dog is very skittish around new people, but somehow he loves her. She’s very warm and caring and extremely knowledgeable about dogs. She truly is the best!”
“Lili was absolutely amazing and my pup had an amazing time! Lili sent updates every day (sometimes multiple times) to let us know how our pup was doing. I really appreciate that. Chrys had a blast there, he made friends with other pups and every photo/video she sent I could see how happy and relaxed he was, which is saying a lot because he can be an anxious pup. We already have our second reservation booked!”
“This is my first time using Rover, and so fortunate to have Fay and Daniel taking care of my 2 fur-babies. They treat them like their own, and very easy to communicate with. Definitely will go with them for our future bookings.”
“Just the best. We can just go on vacation and not worry about a single thing and our pup is in absolute bliss for all the love and attention Jennifer gives.”
“Only person I trust to watch my dog now. Hailey is great and always keeps me updated on how my pup is doing and sends a lot of pictures! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Andrea was wonderful with our fur baby! Rux felt right at home. She sent me so many adorable photos and kept me updated the entire. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We rebooked Jomarie because she cares so much about our dog. She is a great communicator, with pictures and updates. And clearly our dog was happy to be with her. Jomarie is the best.”
