“Thank you Amy and family for taking such good care of Riley while we were on vacation for 3 weeks. Your updates and pictures meant a lot to us. I would highly recommend you to anyone. Thanks for your loving care.”
“Lee and his family were extremely welcoming to my dog Charlie who had a wonderful time! Lee sent many updates and pictures my way to ensure that I knew how Charlie was doing and was comfortable which I greatly appreciated. He also made sure that Charlie ate all of his pills each day which goes to show how much he cares. I highly recommend trusting Lee with your furbaby - I'm usually hesitant to leave Charlie with anyone, but Lee made me feel comfortable right away. You won't regret booking with Lee!”

About: I've been a dog person my whole life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pup's unique personality. I'm experienced caring for dogs of all ages, administering medications when needed, and making sure they stick to the routine they're used to.

If needed, I have the ability to keep dogs separate to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time while you're away.

“Derek was amazing! This was my first experience with Rover and anyone who knows me, knows I am obsessed with my fur baby. He took such good care of her and because of this I was able to enjoy a visit with my grandchildren. Thank you, Derek! I definitely will be asking him to care for my Lexie again.”
“Laritza was absolutely amazing! She was super responsive, attentive, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I could tell he was happy and felt right at home with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laritza again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“From the very beginning, Hailey has been absolutely wonderful and so communicative. We first started with daycare and she constantly sent me photos and updates of my Lychee which gave me so much peace of mind. I could genuinely tell Lychee was happy, loved and well taken care of. When I picked her up that afternoon she was content happily exhausted and clearly had the best day. As a dog mom, it meant so much knowing Hailey was able to give her all the love and care when I couldn’t because of work. This weekend we used her boarding service and it was beyond worth it. Lychee spent the entire weekend playing, cuddling, sleeping in bed and truly living her best little life. She even went swimming!!! 🥹 As an owner of two French Bulldogs, you quickly learn they are such a unique breed and require a lot of special care and understanding. From their specific foods and temperature sensitivity to their very demanding cuddle requirements lol Hailey surpassed every expectation we had. You can tell she genuinely understands and loves dogs. On top of everything, I unexpectedly got caught up with extra work this weekend and Hailey was so kind and accommodating in letting Lychee stay a little longer which truly felt heaven sent. Thank you so much to Hailey and her husband for taking such amazing care of my little Lychee girl 🥹🫶✨ We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking again.”
“I was so impressed with Melida's attention to details before we confirmed, ensuring that Riley's would have a successful stay. Then - her care was exceptional, Riley adjusted wonderfully and I truly believed she enjoyed the stay. I will DEFINITELY choose Melida to care for Riley in the future. Thank you so much!!”

About: Pet care comes so natural to me, as I was raised in a household with many pets. My love for animals is demonstrated through my patience, kindness and attention to detail.

“I feel incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful person to care for my cat, Yazmin. I needed someone I could trust on fairly short notice before a trip, and from the very beginning she made that possible. She took the time to come introduce herself beforehand so we could meet, and that alone meant so much to me. From the moment we met, I could sense her genuine love for animals. She has such a warm, nurturing spirit, and it gave me immediate peace knowing Yazmin would be in caring hands. While I was away, she sent photos and updates that reassured me my baby was safe, comfortable, and being loved. Leaving a pet behind is never easy, but she truly made the experience feel effortless and worry-free. Knowing Yazmin was being cared for by someone so kind, attentive, and trustworthy allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets not just responsibly, but with real heart. Yazmin and I are both so thankful. 🐾✨”

About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. At this time Gigi is staying with my brother who recently moved to the Coral Gables location so I still see her regularly. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!
“Kathryn is: conscientious, kind, considerate, capable, competent, and funny. She took care of my precious babies and I couldn’t have been happier with how happy they were around her. She cared for my apartment like it was her own, and I never worried once about anything while i was away. Thank you, Kathryn, for being amazing and wonderful!”

“Adriana was amazing. I found her at the last minute when the person I had to take care of my new rescued kitten bailed on me. Without hesitation, she was there to assist me and was very understanding about my nerves of leaving my 4 week kitten with a total stranger. She messaged me about my kitten and sent pictures so that I could be at ease. I unfortunately had to extend a day and without hesitation again, she was willing and able to do Rap for me. I could tell that she truly loved my kitten and took good care of her. At the return of my kitten I even got a surprise painting of her which I thought was super sweet. I would definitely recommend Adriana and when I need another sitter for my fur baby, I will definitely rebook with her. You can definitely tell that Adriana is a person that loves animals.

About: I have been around animals all my life. I grew up in a home where animals are treated like family. You have to show them TLC. I currently have five dogs and five cats at home. The majority of them are rescues. I have rescued many animals and foster them until i find a home for them. I am great with any animal and know how to take care of them in any certain situation. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from the owner. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their environment clean and reducing stress during their owner's absence.
About: I am from Miami, Florida living in Chicago with my girlfriend Manon from France. We have shared a connection with our love for pets in our lives. Together we have owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and turtles, all living long, healthy, and happy lives. We love the meaning pets bring to our lives and the joy these pets bring to our hearts. We both have cared for pets our whole lives from since we were children to adults learning a lot about each generational pet we were lucky to care for and will do the same for yours! I am currently working part time at the Chicago theater and have plenty of time to care for your furry loved one! I am mostly available during the weekdays for care and weekends if boarding is needed. I care for pets as if they were a part of my own furry family. Since my best furry friend has moved on, I have felt a missing void in my life which I know is the emotions our pets bring to us every day. Until me and my new girlfriend make the life commitment to adopt a new furry friend into our life we are more than happy to care for others furry friends until we can!
About: ***Please note that Rover takes 20% of all services*** I’ve been caring for animals since I was five, and it’s been a lifelong dream to become a veterinarian. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, turtles, fish, and even horses and other livestock. I help care for my aunt’s dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Cane Corso/Lab mix—and her animals, including feeding, exercising, grooming, and monitoring their health. I also stay involved with my own dogs, making sure they get attention, exercise, and proper care even when I don’t live with them. What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and dedication to animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I can follow detailed care instructions, administer medications, and provide companionship tailored to each pet’s needs. I enjoy bonding with all types of animals and make it a priority to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for every pet I care for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to each day. Because I recently moved back to Florida with Bailey, while Yogi hangs back with his dad. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I treat every pet like family and make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs and routines. I offer dependable and caring attention tailored to each pet’s unique needs and the service I’m providing. When I’m house sitting or providing overnight care, I make sure to stay in the client’s home to help their pets feel right at home. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and give them lots of love and company. Plus, I keep the home tidy and follow any special instructions the client gives me. For drop-in visits, I stop by to feed pets, refresh water, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up as needed, and spend time playing or checking on their overall well-being. For dog walking, I make sure each dog gets safe, engaging exercise suited to their energy level, while also reinforcing good leash behavior and ensuring they’re comfortable and cared for. In my personal life, I also help care for dogs and livestock at home, and I stay involved with my own dogs by checking in regularly and making sure they have everything they need. I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and on a consistent routine.

“Lee and his family were extremely welcoming to my dog Charlie who had a wonderful time! Lee sent many updates and pictures my way to ensure that I knew how Charlie was doing and was comfortable which I greatly appreciated. He also made sure that Charlie ate all of his pills each day which goes to show how much he cares. I highly recommend trusting Lee with your furbaby - I'm usually hesitant to leave Charlie with anyone, but Lee made me feel comfortable right away. You won't regret booking with Lee!”
““I recently had my dog stay with Mia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My pup came home happy and relaxed, and it was clear that he was well cared for. Mia was super communicative, sent plenty of photo updates, and made sure I knew how my dog was doing each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!””
“I am truly happy with the boarding provided by Beatriz and Neyda. They provided pictures and videos of my dog and responded quickly to any messages or questions. I will definitely use them again when I go out of town.”
“Excellent!! My two dogs were well taken care of. They came back very happy. Daysy and her son are very nice and hospitable. They provided a lot of play time in their large yard and sent pictures and videos daily. I highly recommend.”
“Nora is amazing. So welcoming and she provides great care. Good photos and updates. Long walks to wear your pooch out. Has the prefect yard which gives dogs freedom to roam. I have used her multiple times and will continue to do so.”
“This was a last minute booking due to Remi being on meds for her spine and everything turned out fine. I had many questions bc I didn’t want Remi to be overstimulated when what she really needed was to take her meds & rest. Jorge answered all of my questions and was patient and understanding with me. Jorge gave Remi her meds as indicated, kept a in touch and sent a picture each day. Thank you!! 🙌”
About: I've been a dog person my whole life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pup's unique personality. I'm experienced caring for dogs of all ages, administering medications when needed, and making sure they stick to the routine they're used to. My goal is for your dog to feel like they're on a little vacation while you're away. I choose my hours at work and I am mostly remote. I am able to provide around the clock attention to your pups to give them the best experience while you are away! My house has a fully fenced backyard, and I have one friendly, medium-sized dog who loves meeting new friends. If needed, I have the ability to keep dogs separate to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time while you're away.
“I truly cannot ask for a better family/sitter for our girls. Thank you again for always being their home away from home for all of them! The care and details you have with them is priceless ❤️”
“Amazing service! Francin and her family took great care of my dog Polo. She was very diligent with sending updates, pictures, and videos everyday. I knew Polo was safe and happy, which gave me peace of mind during my vacation. Definitely booking again! :)”
“Derek was amazing! This was my first experience with Rover and anyone who knows me, knows I am obsessed with my fur baby. He took such good care of her and because of this I was able to enjoy a visit with my grandchildren. Thank you, Derek! I definitely will be asking him to care for my Lexie again.”
“From the very beginning, Hailey has been absolutely wonderful and so communicative. We first started with daycare and she constantly sent me photos and updates of my Lychee which gave me so much peace of mind. I could genuinely tell Lychee was happy, loved and well taken care of. When I picked her up that afternoon she was content happily exhausted and clearly had the best day. As a dog mom, it meant so much knowing Hailey was able to give her all the love and care when I couldn’t because of work. This weekend we used her boarding service and it was beyond worth it. Lychee spent the entire weekend playing, cuddling, sleeping in bed and truly living her best little life. She even went swimming!!! 🥹 As an owner of two French Bulldogs, you quickly learn they are such a unique breed and require a lot of special care and understanding. From their specific foods and temperature sensitivity to their very demanding cuddle requirements lol Hailey surpassed every expectation we had. You can tell she genuinely understands and loves dogs. On top of everything, I unexpectedly got caught up with extra work this weekend and Hailey was so kind and accommodating in letting Lychee stay a little longer which truly felt heaven sent. Thank you so much to Hailey and her husband for taking such amazing care of my little Lychee girl 🥹🫶✨ We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking again.”
“I was so impressed with Melida's attention to details before we confirmed, ensuring that Riley's would have a successful stay. Then - her care was exceptional, Riley adjusted wonderfully and I truly believed she enjoyed the stay. I will DEFINITELY choose Melida to care for Riley in the future. Thank you so much!!”
“Janet took wonderful care of my Gus. He loved her outdoor area with a pool and a lake. Even though he does not like to swim, watching the ducks in the lake kept him occupied for hours.”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter for our dogs, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for that personal care and attention for their fury Friends. I will forever be grateful for the Services provided. Thank you very much Casey for your dedication.”
“Lissette was amazing with my two babies Golden Retreivers. She was attentive all the time and sent me pictures of both of them while we were away. My babies didnt want to leave her house. I recommend her any time to take care of your 4 legged babies. She is really an awesome dog sitter. I will definitely get her to take care of my kids next time we need to go anywhere. THANK YOU Lissette for your love.”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.
About: (PLEASE READ!!)I’ve always had a love for all animals and pets! I’ve taken care of many family members pups and dogs over the years and have trained some of the young ones. I’m good With cats as well having one of my own. I’m currently self employed, so I’ll be able to l watch your pups full time with no interruptions. I’m available holidays as well! Contact me at least twenty four hours in advance two days preferably, but I understand those short notice schedules. !!PLEASE IF YOU REQUEST DROP INS AND EXPECT ME TO WALK YOUR DOG/PUPPY PLEASE SPECIFY I WONT CHARGE FULL PRICE ON WALKING BUT IT WILL PUMP UP YOUR DROP IN UP BY A LITTLE!! I at the moment live in a studio apartment, so I wouldn’t be able to take care of your fur baby in my own home. I’m more Than open to pet sit in your own home and I encourage you to set up some sort of camera!! I understand how anxious it may feel to have someone stay in your safe place while you’re away and that a side it’s nice to be able to check in at any moment. That aside having me pet sit in the comfort of your own home will keep your fur baby less anxious and more comfortable so all around it’s better for everyone. :)
