“Sandra went above and beyond to accommodate my travel plans for a long trip. She provided lots of pictures and made sure my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely be booking again!”
“This was our first time leaving our gentle giant with a dog sitter. Ashley was the most caring and loving sitter. She was very attentive and kept us informed with many, many pictures while we were away. We definitely felt at ease and can’t wait to use her again. We highly recommend her!!”
“This is our second time using Austin and Hugo. They truly treat my Zoe as their own when she’s staying with them. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their pet in a trusting loving atmosphere when you are away.”
“Colleen and her family took really good care of our Golden Retriever Yelly. We received pictures and updates of Yelly daily, we could tell she was soo happy. This was our 1st time using Rover for sitting our dog and our flight got delayed so we ended picking our dog up much later than the pickup time. Colleen was so kind and understanding which we totally appreciate. I absolutely would love to book with her again! However, next time I’ll pay the extra day and grab the dog in the morning to avoid delays on my end. Thanks again for taking care of our baby Colleen.❤️❤️”
“Becca took amazing care of my Frenchie, Diesel, but what was most comforting was the daily communication and photos while I was traveling!!! Highly recommended as your next choice as an alternative to pet boarding. I will definitely use Becca’s services in the future!!”
“Leaving an English bulldog with someone is not always easy because they need extra attention and they can be stubborn at times. Sian was amazing with our Canela from beginning to end. She kept us updated with sweet pictures and videos, and you could tell Canela felt comfortable and cared for. If you are looking for someone caring, responsible, and loving with animals, we absolutely recommend Sian. We could tell Canela was treated with love and care during her stay.”
“I can’t recommend Eduardo enough! He took such great care of Sam while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and consistent. He kept us updated with messages, photos, and even a few videos that really put our minds at ease.”
“Mary & Gerry were wonderful sitters to our dog, Leo. She allowed us to do a meet and greet to see if the pairing would be a good fit! It was indeed a good fit. While we were on vacation, she always sent us updates on how he was doing and answered any questions we had. We can’t wait to use her again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Mary as our dog sitter. She sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she kept us updated on how our dog was doing the entire time. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would happily have her watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter.”

He enjoyed the time there, and Ely also assist with Achilles ears medications and even contacted his veterinarian for further instructions. Great Service Thank you so very much”

She always keeps me updated with pictures and keeps my baby on a great schedule with going outside , and has made sure that she feels happy while away from home . I appreciate Kristy so much and 100% recommend .”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I absolutely would. I trust Jasmine completely with my precious baby. She is loving, attentive and treats my baby like family. I will never use any other sitter. Thank you Jasmine”
“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.”

“Bridget was exceptional! From the very first moment Dante, my cat, met her, my boy felt at ease — which is rare, because he’s usually shy and tends to hide. But with Bridget, it was different.

She kept me constantly updated and even sent me pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend her — your pets will be in loving and responsible hands. I’m absolutely sure I’ll reach out to her again the next time I need help. Thank you so much, Bridget!”
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!!”

“We left Tanner with Carla all day, 8:30a - 5p…..Carla says he played his heart out. He was sooo dirty, but he’s a dog….he got a good bath as soon as he got home. We will be using Carla again.”
“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.”

“Judy and her family are amazing dog sitters! We were visiting Fort Lauderdale for a weekend, and needed a sitter for my energetic Jack Russell Terrier for an evening when we had plans in venues that didn’t allow dogs. Judy was very communicative and responsive, and made me feel that my dog was in great hands. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell my dog was safe and that she felt comfortable. I got back the same happy and healthy dog that I dropped off, which is the most important thing. She also got lots of playtime and attention which was great. I highly recommend Judy and her family for dog sitting!”

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.

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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 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.”

I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have flexible availability throughout the day, which allows me to schedule walks. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so it naturally becomes part of my everyday life.

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. Every time we’re away from him, we miss him deeply—and that empathy drives the love and care we provide for every pet. As verified pet sitters through Rover, you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe, trusted hands.

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. Pricing does vary depending on the setup, and we’re happy to go over details so you can find the best fit for your cat. To keep everyone safe and healthy, we kindly require proof that any cat staying in our home is up to date on their core vaccines (such as rabies and FVRCP).

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.

“Thomas took care of Ruby (our Belgian Malinois) when we were away, and it was a great experience. He (and his son) were very caring, I received photos of her daily, and he told me all she did during her stay there. I highly recommend him to all! ❤️”
“Judy and her family were amazing! Judy always got back to me super quick and sent me pictures of my girl while we were away with updates. She even sent Josie home with a cute squeaker which she is now obsessed with! We’ll definitely book with Judy and her family again! Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving our gentle giant with a dog sitter. Ashley was the most caring and loving sitter. She was very attentive and kept us informed with many, many pictures while we were away. We definitely felt at ease and can’t wait to use her again. We highly recommend her!!”
“This is our second time using Austin and Hugo. They truly treat my Zoe as their own when she’s staying with them. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their pet in a trusting loving atmosphere when you are away.”
“Colleen and her family took really good care of our Golden Retriever Yelly. We received pictures and updates of Yelly daily, we could tell she was soo happy. This was our 1st time using Rover for sitting our dog and our flight got delayed so we ended picking our dog up much later than the pickup time. Colleen was so kind and understanding which we totally appreciate. I absolutely would love to book with her again! However, next time I’ll pay the extra day and grab the dog in the morning to avoid delays on my end. Thanks again for taking care of our baby Colleen.❤️❤️”
“Becca took amazing care of my Frenchie, Diesel, but what was most comforting was the daily communication and photos while I was traveling!!! Highly recommended as your next choice as an alternative to pet boarding. I will definitely use Becca’s services in the future!!”
“Ely took great care of Achilles during my absence. I was nervous as this is the first time Achilles will spend time with a sitter. He enjoyed the time there, and Ely also assist with Achilles ears medications and even contacted his veterinarian for further instructions. Great Service Thank you so very much”
“Kelly was wonderful and took the best care of our active 12 year old Shorty Jack Russell. He can be a handful (!) and enjoyed hanging out with her. We will definitely be in touch for other stays soon. Thank you Kelly!”
“Duran was great with Lola! He was very flexible with bookings and provided daily updates, which I really appreciated. Lola clearly enjoyed her stay, and I felt confident knowing she was in such good care. I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Ximena was amazing. She was great with our baby Bruno and he enjoyed time with Vida, his new friend! We are so glad to have met them. We hands down recommend Ximena.”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I absolutely would. I trust Jasmine completely with my precious baby. She is loving, attentive and treats my baby like family. I will never use any other sitter. Thank you Jasmine”
“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.”
“Eduardo was great, I received pictures and videos every morning and every evening. The other dogs in the house were very friendly. Bo had fun. I highly recommend Eduardo.”
“Carla was fantastic with my energetic Irish setter puppy! She kept him happy, well-exercised, and safe the entire time. Great communication, sent plenty of updates and photos, and my pup came home tired and content. Highly recommend—book with confidence!”
“Kimberly was wonderful, very patient and caring. She kept me posting on everything and sent pictures. my dog is very high energy and she handles him with care and I truly appreciate.”
“Alexis and Alex were wonderful with our two baby girls. Alexis sent us pictures and videos every day while we were away and worked with our 11 month old German Sheppard Duchess the entire time to draw her out of her fear of other dogs. By the last day our girls were with them, Alexis finally got Duchess to go out in the back yard and interact with all the other pups. We are truly grateful for the love and care they were given while we were away, and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Carley took such good care of our pup while we were away. She’s super attentive and loving when it comes to the care of your dog. 10/10 Our dog loves her. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“I dont even know where to start! Gregory is awesome and i would highly recommend him to care of any pet. I was out of town for a few days and he kept me up to date daily with pictures of him and my fur baby Biscuit. I was a bit nervous leaving her especially knowing this was the first time i used the app and had to board her. Biscuit gets separation anxiety and can be a handful. It brought great joy to see how happy she was with him. The smiles were priceless! This process has put my anxiety to rest and in the future i will always leave my babygirl with Gregory! You truly deserve 5 stars!!!”
