“Coreen is amazing!!!! We were taking a usually long trip because of our honeymoon, and she was so helpful with picking up Greystone (GS) from our house when my friend had to end her babysitting stint for us! Every picture she sent of GS I could tell he was so happy to be with her and her family! They loved and cared for him like he was their own pup. The amazing care Coreen provided put my mind at ease that I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying if GS was doing ok. In fact, he loved it there so much he seemed sad to come home!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Coreen and I will continue to send GS to her any time I travel! Thank you 😊”

“Sian and her husband are the dream team ! They saved me twice now with a last minute booking. My puppy is always so happy to visit that I’m scared he won’t come back to me lol.

“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine truly made it special. I needed someone to care for my sweet Riley at the last minute, and Jasmine was not only available but also incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared about Riley and treated her like her own. It’s clear she has a natural gift with animals, and I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Jasmine went above and beyond by even washing Riley’s bed and sheets, something I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. When I came back, Riley was so happy and well cared for, I could see that she had been given all the love and attention she deserves. Jasmine, you’ve turned a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience, and I’m so grateful to have found you!- with love from Riley and Marquel ❤️”

“Duran was an absolute lifesaver this Christmas! Leaving Leo during the holiday was a bit stressful, but Duran made it worry-free. He sent frequent updates and photos, so I could see Leo was having a great time and felt right at home. It’s clear Duran truly loves animals and treated Leo like family. I’ll definitely be booking with Duran again!”
“As always Ximena took great care of Leah. Very attentive, caring, and communicative. She kept me updated the whole time Leah was with her. Sending me videos and pictures. She has a great spacious backyard and Vida (her dog) is extremely sweet. Always my #1 pick for when I need. Thank you for taking such great care of Leah.”
“Kristy made the whole experience as easy as could be and I felt my dog was very well cared for. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. I will definitely book with Kristy again if she is available.”
“Jessica and AnnMarie are, without a doubt, the best dog sitters we've ever had! Our pup Maddi is extremely attached to us, but they went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, loved, and right at home. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. They kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maddi absolutely fell in love with their family - and so did we! We won’t trust anyone else with her from now on.”

About: I grew up in a cat-loving family and am very familiar with their care and unique personalities. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and clients have trusted me to check in on their cats for feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every cat is different. Some love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence - and I always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: Cats/kittens gravitate towards me because I have very good energy. I love playing and petting cats/kittens, especially when they start purring; because that lets me know they are definitely enjoying the love.

“Angus home away from home! 🩵 we trust this family two thousand percent! Angus has the time of his life and I love seeing the updates! We cannot thank them enough ☺️”
“Alexis is superbly accommodating and I felt such at peace leaving my pups with her. She sent pics and vids while I was away which means so much! Will use again for my next work trip :)”
“Sharie is amazing! Our little guy Winston has only stayed with family for seven years. We are planning to travel more, so it was time to find someone we could trust with our baby on a regular basis. Winston is an anxious pup and so is his mom! 😊 Sharie is understanding, calm and shows how much she gets to know the puppies she cares for. She sends pictures and videos while he is with her to help put us at ease. Truthfully, this new experience has probably been hardest for me, but it’s so reassuring to see our baby happy and relaxed when we pick him up! Thank you so much Sharie!!”

“Fendi stayed with Edith while I was out of town for one day. I was apprehensive because I wasn't sure how he would behave with her and other dogs. Since the pandemic, we usually just stay home and he is very attached to me. I needn't have worried. He had a ball with Edith and his new girlfriend, Coco. Edith sent me pictures of them and progress reports during that day. A great weight has been lifted off my shoulders by finding Edith. She instills trust and is very knowledgeable about doggie behavior. Her home is well equipped for taking care of our most beloved members of the family. Although it still may not be too often, I can, now, schedule trips without worry. I thank Edith from the bottom of my heart.”

I must keep a clean environment for all the dogs staying under my care & my family. Also, will not be accepting high energy LARGE dogs anymore, Im sorry, but they are way too strong for me. I kindly ask that your fur babies are groomed before staying with me, especially if your dog is an “outside” dog, please make sure they are bathed before their stay. What makes me unique as a pet sitter is my genuine love for dogs and my commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for them. My passion and experience in dog sitting, along with my reliability and responsible nature, truly set me apart. Additionally, I'm always willing to go the extra mile by offering personalized services and I have a knack for creating a bond with the dogs I care for.

I will no longer be accepting drop off times before 8am. ATTENTION: On Thursdays 7pm-9:30pm - I do attend religious activities.

On Sundays 12pm - 3pm - again, I attend religious activities. I am not home during those hours, so your fur babies will be locked up during that time or roaming around the house if they’re used to that, just let me know. When it comes to caring for pets in my home or my client's home, there are a few key things I make sure to do: 1. Feeding: I ensure that the pets are provided with the right amount of food and water, following any specific dietary instructions given by the owner. 2. Exercise and Playtime: I make sure to give the pets plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. This can include walks, play sessions, or any other activities they enjoy. 3. Regular Potty Breaks: I take the pets outside for regular potty breaks and clean up any messes promptly to maintain a clean and hygienic environment. 4. Medication and Health Care: If the pets require any medication, I make sure to administer it according to the owner's instructions. I also keep an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort and notify the owner if needed. 5. Companionship and Attention: I provide lots of love, attention, and companionship to the pets, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. 6. Basic Grooming: I can help with basic grooming tasks such as brushing their fur and keeping them clean and tidy. 7. Following Owner's Instructions: I always follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding their routines, training, and any other special requirements. Whether it's in my own home or the client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for. Each pet is unique, so I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs.
“This was a great experience for my pup and I! Judy took very good care of Milo for me while I was at work and sent me pictures and texted me throughout the day. I felt very happy with his stay there! She even sent him home with a toy! I definitely recommend her!”
“First time using Ashley for doggy day care and it was an amazing experience! From the moment she opened the door Stitch was so excited to see her. Thank you again for everything!”
About: I had dogs since I’ve been a kid, I worked boarding and walking dogs, always interested in pet training getting knowledge as an autodidact person. For services of walking , sitting, or dog care I am available seven days a week, and the time is upon the requirement of pet owner. As a dog walker I’ll treat the pup in the natural way, so they will make exercise in natural conditions. Otherwise, a dog that use to be indoors need to get free of the stress, using it’s natural senses. It means walking a dog is not only for exercise, but very important, for mental health of the dog.
“Xico can speak, but it looked like he had a good time with Sian and her dog Chulo. He can come and slept throughout the night. Thank you Sian for taking care of my precious fur-son!”
“Ashley was great! She was really responsive and flexible, which we much appreciated. Our dog loved her, and we could tell from the pictures he was having a good time. Will definitely be back :)”
About: Pets are family, and I’m passionate about providing the individualized care they deserve. With over 10 years of experience in pet care and dog training, I’ve learned how important it is to truly understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. It’s more than just feeding them or taking them for a walk. For me, it’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment, building relationships founded on trust, and helping every pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy enough to truly thrive. I believe clear communication with pet parents is just as important as the care itself, so you always feel connected and at ease while your pet is with me. I work remotely and part-time for a puppy training company, which gives me the flexibility to be present, attentive, and spend lots of quality time with your fur-babies. I tailor my care to each pet and the specific service you book, whether that’s drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding or daycare. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet’s basic needs are fully met - fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable environment. Beyond that, I spend quality time with them through play, enrichment, or simply providing calm companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and training level. I reinforce good leash manners using positive reinforcement and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. In your home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, since that’s what helps them feel most secure. I’m very mindful of your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have watched my friends pets when they have gone on vacation. I personally feel that animals are way better than humans, how can you not love an animal? Your animal will be well taken care of with me! I am honest/trustworthy, personable and will treat your pet as if he/she were my own. I work from home M-F during the day. I live across the street from a park and I live in a pet friendly neighborhood. It would be nice to go on walks to break up the monotony of the day if your dog boarded with me. I play volleyball in the neighborhood parks and would be happy to bring the pooch with me to get some fresh air. I also have a large enclosed patio if your dog wants to chill outside. He/she will be safe on my watch. I have a large fenced in outdoor patio. I do have a cat named Denver that knows all the dogs in the neighborhood. He sleeps all day in the master bedroom and then comes and goes via kitty door in the evening. Your pet can easily coexist at my place. And if you prefer that your pet stay at your home so as to not disrupt their routine, I can always make those accommodations since I work remotely and have a lot of autonomy owning my own business. I work full time from home 8-430. Typically after work, I’ll work out at home or go to the park to play volleyball or pickleball for some exercise. I have a large fenced patio in a development that has plenty of grass and small canals with lots of wildlife. Very nature oriented; your dog will get to sniff new smells!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 (now 36) from dog and cats to lizards and snakes. I don't discriminate. When I was younger I only took care of friends and family but now I found rover I am currently on hiatus from my employer so I have ample amount of time to take care of and play with your fur baby. I have a very large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have my own fur baby to help keep your baby company. I don't crate my small French bulldog but i do have a large crate big enough for a 70 pound dog just in case your dog needs it.
“Missy was excellent with my little Maltese. When I picked him up the first day, he was pulling me to go back into her house! That alone tells me he had a great time. It's great that she has a fenced in yard because I don't have that in my condo. I've already booked his next stay for next week. Thanks again for a great job Missy!”
“Joan was awesome to work with! She was available on short notice and was very accommodating. I was impressed by her home setup - it is dedicated entirely to caring for doggos and my pup Frida had a few nice friends to play with. Frida came hope happy, healthy, and sleepy :)”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every dog I watch. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, calm, and very observant — which helps me quickly notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Whether it’s a playful puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I adjust my care to what’s best for your dog. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m mindful of routines and make sure dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I prioritize their comfort and well-being as part of my normal week. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and rest to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I provide plenty of supervision, affection, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also have a secure, fenced area where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and fresh air in a safe space. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I tailor care to their age, personality, and needs. My goal is to make your dog feel at home while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.

“This is my first time using the app and she Ariela made Koda and myself feel at ease… He absolutely loved her and came back exhausted from the long amazing walk. Thank you again!!”
About: I’ve been responsible for walking my neighbor’s dog since I was ten, which taught me early how to handle different behaviors, stay consistent with routines, and make pets feel safe and comfortable. I also care regularly for my grandmother’s cats and have a kitten of my own, so I’m experienced with both canine and feline care, including feeding schedules, litter maintenance, play engagement, and reading body language. Pet care is one of my favorite parts of the day. I build their routines right into mine, whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, and plenty of playtime and affection in the evenings. I’m consistent with feeding times and love making sure each pet gets personalized attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully. I stick to the pet’s usual scheduled feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and playtime. I check water bowls, tidy up any messes, and make sure doors and gates are always secure. I also provide detailed updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
“Ryan and Debbie were absolutely fantastic from the very first moment I contacted them. I contacted them with a last moment request when my son’s friend backed out at the last moment. My son was leaving on a business trip and I am recuperating from a leg injury that prevents me from walking my son’s 4 1/2 year old Gerberian Shepsky (GS Dog and Siberian Husky mix). He is a great dog but does not realize his own substantial strength. Ryan responded to my request within minutes and was available that morning. From the moment I met Ryan and his Fiance Debbie, it was evident that they love dogs and love taking care of them. They immediately became close with the dog and he would become very excited when they came to walk him. They would show up and he would run and say hello and then sit at the door for them to put his leash on Walks were long, especially in this heat, annd they would even run with him. Numerous photo updates would arrive by text while he was out on the walk and they would provide detailed reports of the walk. They will be by first choice when future needs present themselves and I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone. They are true dog lovers who liove what they do and it shows.”

About: My partner and I, proud pet parents to our cat Gustavo, truly understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind.

Each bedroom has its own personal window for bird‑watching and sunbathing. Double Suite Stay – Both full bedrooms reserved for your cats (up to 6 from the same household). Full House Stay – The entire space reserved just for your kitty, so they can enjoy the whole house to themselves. In addition to their bedrooms, cats have access to shared spaces with plenty of windows, toys, and cozy spots to relax.

About: 💕 About Me & Pet Experience Hi, I’m Jessica, but most people know me as Aunty Jess — your friendly, reliable pet sitter from Margate, Florida. I’m 24 years old and currently studying Veterinary Technology at Broward College. My passion for animals started when I was very young, and it’s grown into something that truly defines who I am today. I’ve spent several years caring for pets, including small and medium-sized dogs, playful puppies, calm seniors, and cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve also cared for smaller pets like fish and shrimp — I even have my own aquarium! My experience ranges from everyday walks and feedings to maintaining consistent routines that keep pets calm and happy while their owners are away. For several years, I boarded up to six dogs at a time in my home, managing different breeds, schedules, and personalities with patience and care. It taught me how to balance structure with affection — making sure every dog received attention, exercise, and love. Some of my clients became repeat customers, trusting me multiple times with their pets, which means a lot to me and shows how dependable and compassionate I am with every animal I meet. I also used to have my own dog, who I adored deeply. Due to house rules, I had to rehome him, but I made sure he went to a loving family filled with care, stability, and affection. That experience strengthened my understanding of responsibility and the emotional bond between people and their pets. Now, I focus on offering House Sitting and Dog Walking so I can give pets one-on-one attention and personalized care in the comfort of their own homes. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety or stress, so I always create a calm environment and follow their normal routines to help them feel safe and loved. Through my studies in Veterinary Technology, I’ve learned how to recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or health concerns early on. I know how to approach each animal with patience, empathy, and care — whether it’s during walks, feeding time, or bedtime. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and consistent, with a genuine love for all animals big and small. My goal as Aunty Jess is simple: to make sure every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and happy — just like they would if you were home. 🕓 Schedule I like to keep my schedule transparent and well-organized so pet parents know exactly when I’m available and how I plan my days around your pets’ needs. I’m currently a Veterinary Technology student at Broward College, and I’ve built my class routine to make sure every pet in my care still gets the love, attention, and time they deserve. Here’s my weekly availability: 📅 Monday – Wednesday: I’m in class for about 3 hours during the day, but I’m available after 3:00 PM for house sitting and dog walking. Before leaving for class, I always make sure pets are fed, walked, and comfortable so they feel relaxed while I’m away. When I return, I give them my full attention for evening care, playtime, and cuddles. 📅 Thursday: I have a short 2-hour class during the day, so my availability is very flexible. I’m free after 3:00 PM and can provide walks, meals, and plenty of evening companionship. 📅 Friday – Sunday: These are my fully open days, which means I’m completely available for full-day and overnight house sitting. I dedicate these days to giving your pets my full focus — walks, playtime, meals, and comfort throughout the day and night. I always plan my week carefully to make sure your pets’ needs come first. Even on class days, I maintain structure and consistency by following their normal schedule as closely as possible. You’ll receive daily updates with photos or videos, so you always know how your pets are doing. Your pet’s well-being and routine are always my top priorities — I’m committed to keeping them safe, loved, and happy every day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet I care for. I know that when you choose someone to look after your pets and your home, you’re putting a lot of faith in them — and I take that responsibility very seriously. You can always count on me to treat your space and your pets with respect, care, and honesty. As a vet student, I have knowledge of basic animal health, safety practices, and behavior management, which helps me create a calm, comfortable environment for every pet. I make sure water bowls are always full, leashes and collars are properly fitted, and that pets are supervised closely during walks or outdoor time. If a pet seems anxious or uncomfortable, I know how to respond gently and reassure them until they relax. I also understand how important your home is. When house sitting, I always keep things clean, organized, and secure — the way you left them. I lock doors, follow your household instructions, and never invite anyone over. My goal is to make your home feel just as peaceful for your pets as it does when you’re there. Trust is built through communication, so I send daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a morning walk, nap time, or dinner, I keep you informed and confident that everything is going smoothly. Your pets’ safety and emotional comfort always come first with me. With Aunty Jess, you can feel completely at ease knowing your pets are cared for with love, patience, and a calm environment that feels like home.
“It was a blessing to find Gabriella. Very detailed, helpful, and amazing with my pets. Always went above and beyond what I could have asked for. Had her on a repeat schedule and was grateful with how she accommodated when I would need to shift my schedule around at the last minute. Will always use her in any future pet needs. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: Pets are family, and I’m passionate about providing the individualized care they deserve. With over 10 years of experience in pet care and dog training, I’ve learned how important it is to truly understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. It’s more than just feeding them or taking them for a walk. For me, it’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment, building relationships founded on trust, and helping every pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy enough to truly thrive. I believe clear communication with pet parents is just as important as the care itself, so you always feel connected and at ease while your pet is with me. I work remotely and part-time for a puppy training company, which gives me the flexibility to be present, attentive, and spend lots of quality time with your fur-babies. I tailor my care to each pet and the specific service you book, whether that’s drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding or daycare. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet’s basic needs are fully met - fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable environment. Beyond that, I spend quality time with them through play, enrichment, or simply providing calm companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and training level. I reinforce good leash manners using positive reinforcement and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. In your home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, since that’s what helps them feel most secure. I’m very mindful of your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Coreen is amazing!!!! We were taking a usually long trip because of our honeymoon, and she was so helpful with picking up Greystone (GS) from our house when my friend had to end her babysitting stint for us! Every picture she sent of GS I could tell he was so happy to be with her and her family! They loved and cared for him like he was their own pup. The amazing care Coreen provided put my mind at ease that I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying if GS was doing ok. In fact, he loved it there so much he seemed sad to come home!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Coreen and I will continue to send GS to her any time I travel! Thank you 😊”

“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine truly made it special. I needed someone to care for my sweet Riley at the last minute, and Jasmine was not only available but also incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared about Riley and treated her like her own. It’s clear she has a natural gift with animals, and I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Jasmine went above and beyond by even washing Riley’s bed and sheets, something I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. When I came back, Riley was so happy and well cared for, I could see that she had been given all the love and attention she deserves. Jasmine, you’ve turned a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience, and I’m so grateful to have found you!- with love from Riley and Marquel ❤️”

I’ll definitely be booking with Duran again!”
“As always Ximena took great care of Leah. Very attentive, caring, and communicative. She kept me updated the whole time Leah was with her. Sending me videos and pictures. She has a great spacious backyard and Vida (her dog) is extremely sweet. Always my #1 pick for when I need. Thank you for taking such great care of Leah.”
“Jessica and AnnMarie are, without a doubt, the best dog sitters we've ever had! Our pup Maddi is extremely attached to us, but they went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, loved, and right at home. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. They kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maddi absolutely fell in love with their family - and so did we! We won’t trust anyone else with her from now on.”
“Huellita se sintió con cómoda, estuvieron muy pendientes ya que ella requiere un cuidado especial por su alimentación, volveré a dejar en sus manos a mi perrita cuando lo requiera.”
“Eduardo is amazing!! I have a 9 month old puppy with separation anxiety, and since I’ve had Tazi I have been unable to leave him alone in my apartment because he was howling and barking, and I have neighbors. Eduardo came highly recommended from one of his clients and they told me to find Eduardo on Rover Tazi had so much fun and loved playtime with Eduardo and was sad to leave him. I’m so happy to have someone I can trust and I have complete confidence that they will take care of and love Tazi just as I do. Tazi never knew I left him he was comfortable with Eduardo and his lovely family. Eduardo is definitely my “puppy” whisperer 🐶🩷”
