My dog had a great stay with Adam. This was her second stay, and she was so excited to see him and both his dogs again. He even went out of his way to plan a play date between my dog and a dog friend she made on her first visit. My dog will continue to stay with Adam when she needs a sitter!

Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.

About: I have taken care of cats of all temperaments when I worked at a shelter. Some cats have a hard time with new people and that’s ok. I am very patient and respectful of their space and usually they let me do what I need to do. I also currently have a cat of my own who was formerly a stray and has some health issues so I have experience giving oral medication and eyedrops. I also feed a few stray cats in my area and they have come to accept my presence even though they’re pretty feral. Overall, I have experience with all kinds of cats and usually the answer is plenty of patience and they will at least accept my presence.

She was prompt, available last minute which I am so thankful for, and great with communication and response! I have a recently adopted pup I don’t know a whole lot about yet and she handled him wonderfully, as well as my other baby. Knowing she was coming gave me such peace of mind.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had multiple dogs of my own since I was 8 years old, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and keeping up with their normal routines. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention while in my care! I’m currently a college student taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. Since my classes are online, I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and other routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is doing well!

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

Liza and her roommates made my pup feel right at home, so much so that by the third day of dog sitting, he was literally whimpering and clamoring to greet Lisa when we arrived in the morning. Each day, he ran inside and never looked back. It was clear that he had all the attention and care he wanted each day! I will happily return when we next need a dog sitter.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll always care for them like I would my own!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.

Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.

About: I was born and raised around dogs like Lassie. My dad trained dogs, so I understand calm presence and consistent caregiving. Now, I work for myself from home full-time, nurturing the animals in my care. Quick story: One day, I noticed my mom’s chihuahua-papillon mix, Jacques Cousteau, scrunching his face as he tried to eat crunchy food. I went to PetSmart and brought home the healthiest soft food I could find. When he braced himself to bite into it but didn’t hurt his old teeth, he ran over and jumped onto my lap, licking my whole face until I was laughing, knowing he felt seen. He gained a few pounds over the next few weeks (6 pounds to 9, 50% more!). I was so happy that he could eat again without pain. He lived to be about 15 years old! For a chihuahua, that’s a very long happy life. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. Please share any special care needs with me. I am able to be very attentive. Your dog will be my top priority. I cater to special needs. Happy to send photos throughout the day. We treat them like family and have 4 responsible adults who share the space, all love dogs. Our yard has a 6-ft fence and a very cozy home.

About: Hello! I've taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 10 and have dealt with plenty of furry (and scaly) friends. I have a 9 year old pup myself and many other reptiles (none in house) so I know exactly how I can make you and your pets have the best vacation away from home:) I'm currently working part-time and taking predominately online classes so I'm free to give your pups my full attention throughout the day. I'll be mostly home studying so I will be home and more than willing to take breaks to play with your pup! I live in an apartment with plenty of space inside to run around and friendly roommates who all love dogs so your pup will be in very loving hands. My room has plenty of space for a crate or bed so your pup can be right by me the whole night! I love walking and walk every day so walking is no issue:)

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from rabbits to horses. Having grown up around dogs, I’ve cared for breeds of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs: a Dalmatian and a Great Dane. In addition to dogs, I have experience owning and caring for cats. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing basic first aid when needed, so you can feel confident that your pet will receive attentive, knowledgeable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll make your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being my top priority—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special requirements to ensure consistency with their daily routine. During each visit, I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship while also respecting your home and your pet’s established routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and detailed visit summaries, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure.

About: Hi thanks for considering me for the care of your tiny baby! I’ve been pet sitting full time in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Tampa area (I am now in Gainesville, FL) for over 4 years now but in that time I’ve met over a dozen new families! It feels crazy that I've made lifelong connections with something that was just supposed to be part time. (If you can’t tell I LOVE my job and enjoying connecting and caring for every new family.🥰 ) I took about a year off, only pet sitting for my regulars but now that I'm settled into Gainesville I'm opening my schedule for new clients! As much as I love cuddling and playing trust is everything and if you have an especially anxious pup or just mistrusting, I can give them the space they need and show them they can trust this new person in their house by taking things at their speed. I'm in no rush. Will work with your schedule. I’m great for last minute plans so you don’t have to worry about where your baby is going or if they’ll get enough loving while you’re away. :) I like to live an active lifestyle walking at the beach or finding a new trail. As far as a daily routine I like to adapt to whatever the dog or cat's schedule is but at the end of the night love ending up on the couch cuddling watching tv! I’m here to make sure your loved one feels loved while in your absence. For any questions or if you’d just like to get to know me a little more please feel free to message! Since I do this full time my schedule is according to my client's pretty simple. On my days off though I still like to keep a routine sleeping until my cat cries for wet food, stretching, and journaling every single morning. Throughout the week I do strength training and am taking an online bookkeeping class. Safety for me and you pet is always going to be number one over everything. If a dog or cat feels unsafe, things can only go down from there. The key is to give a fearful or uncomfortable pet SPACE and let them come to me.

Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.

We rebooked with Andi since our dog, Mabel, seemed to love her time with Andi & her family! They took great care of her, sent lots of updates, & even cared for Mabel when she unexpectedly went into heat early. Thanks again Andi for taking care of our berner bear!

We are very pleased with the care Axel received at Shalom's. Not only did she send us regular reports about how he was doing, she even included pictures! We can't thank her enough.

Lorraine is amazing! This was the first time we left our dog in awhile and she made us feel so comfortable about leaving him behind. She sent lots of updates with photos and videos twice a day. We knew our dog was safe, happy and healthy. He also had the best time running around and playing with other dogs all day long. You won’t have to worry leaving your pets in the care of Lorraine!

I was so nervous as we are new snowbirds and have only left our 14 year old dog with family in the past. You were fabulous. I truly thank you. Our old guy is sleeping peacefully upon return. No anxiety at all! I would 100% recommend anyone with a senior dog seek you out.

Amanda has been so great in taking care of our dog. We went out of the country for a family vacation, she regularly sends us pictures, videos and updates us how he is doing. We can truly tell our fur baby enjoyed his stay with Amanda. Amanda is so reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She treats our dog as if they were her own. We highly recommend her.

It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!

Jonathan was great and provided our grumpy old man with a loving home while we were away. We already rebooked him and will continue to use Jonathan's services.

This was not only our first time using Rover, but our first time boarding altogether our 2 pups and we were picky. Miranda and her husband were SO thoughtful for allowing a meet and greet, as well as making sure setup was perfect, and all pups settled in well and taken care of. She gave updates throughout the day and was very communicative. My pups had a great stay! Above and beyond, and would 100% recommend! She made this fur mama’s heart happy. 😊 🐾🫶🏻

Great with my high energy pup. She makes sure that every stay is safe and fun for the dogs. Bonus points for giving my dog a slow feeder puzzle with pumpkin puree. Great communicator, responsible and punctual. She really cares for your dogs as if it were her own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
