“Lucy had an absolute blast with Scott, Angel, Brady and Buddy - so much that I felt bad taking her away from her new friends when it was time to come home! Scott and Angel sent amazing updates (with photos) every single day that I was gone (5 days) and I couldn't have been more comfortable leaving my baby alone with them since they treated her as one of their own in their gorgeous backyard and home the entire stay. I would recommend Scott and Angel to ANYONE and expect a happy and tired pup when it's time to pick them up. I am so sad that I am moving from Austin, because otherwise Scott and Angel would be my go to dog vacay hosts for an amazing worry-free experience and over-the-moon happy dog!”
“They are OUTSTANDING. Our two dogs normally have a lot of anxiety when even just going to the groomers, but Adrienne and Nick had them looking like they were on an all inclusive pampered pup spa. My Georgia was actually making eyes at them like "Daddy, can we stay here just a little longer?". Makes me jealous for my pampered pooches attention. And wow, they put our minds at ease when we saw the photos of how they were accepting it.”
“Kristen was amazing! She sent us regular pictures and answered any questions I had before we met. Kristen might have actually done too good of a job our dogs were as excited as they normally are to see us when we picked them up.”
“So happy and grateful we found Bonnie and Ron on here. Our Salem was SO well cared for during our time away. They provided updates and took care of her as her own. They provided much love and attention. Salem enjoyed going for walks, played fetch, and we could not have asked for more. They are just kind people, I highly recommend them!”
“We were going on vacation for 2 weeks and our original plan fell apart, and thats when I found Caesar here on Rover. What caught my eye was that one of his reviews said that their dogs were tired after their stay, and with 2 Boston Terrier, that was all I needed to read and so I booked. Right away, my mind was at ease, our meet and greet was wonderful, lots of room and ready for you fur-baby. The best part was daily photos, video and wonderful stories of their activities and adventures, that my husband and I would enjoy reading every night at dinner. We even joked that our dogs might not want to come back home to us..lol 😆 We are most definitely going to book again and recommend Caesar to our friends, and YES, Jett and Merlin were exhausted when we brought them home. 🐕👍🤩”
“I had an urgent and unexpected situation come up and needed last minute care for my dog, Sway. Digna and Joseph were incredibly accommodating. They were available for a same day meet and greet and welcomed her into their home for five days. From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. They sent frequent updates and photos, which meant a lot to me. Sway looked so happy in every picture; I swear she was even smiling in a few of them! She’s a very friendly girl, and it was clear she was getting lots of love and attention while she was there. I’m truly grateful for how well they cared for her. It felt like she was treated like part of their family. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive pet care.”
“Lora and Brenda have been lovingly caring for our pups for a few years, now. Whether it has been just a few hours or two weeks, the quality of care has consistently been first-rate. The level of trust we have come to appreciate has allowed us to remain at ease knowing our precious boys are safe, happy, and treated like family, while we are away.”
“Felicia & Greg are the best! Very communicative and more than happy to accommodate when our plans changed last and we needed to extend Bimini's stay. It is so nice to go out of town and know that your pup is in great hands. Bimini always comes home worn out from all the fun she's had. Thank you both so much!”
“It’s hard to leave my pets while I’m on vacay, but Gail’s loving home, superb supervision, and timely updates made me feel relaxed and confident while traveling. I will definitely use Gail for my next trip and I would recommend her highly.”
“Cj is such a loving lady and loved on our pups all weekend. She sent us updates their whole stay. I highly recommend her. Lucy and Big Mama will definitely be back. Thank you so much.”
“I was extremely pleased with the way Darlene cared for our little dog Macchi. From the initial meet and greet through the time we picked her up after our travels, Darlene was thoughtful in her approach to integrating Macchi into her home and acquainting Macchi with her dog. The environment for the stay was well maintained and eluded a sense of calm. I would definitely book another stay for Macchi with Darlene.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! They went above and beyond taking care of Maize, giving me total peace of mind while I was away. I received frequent updates and tons of photos, which made me feel so connected and reassured. Maize looked so happy, well-cared-for, and loved the whole time. Truly phenomenal service—reliable, thoughtful, and caring. I would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family!”
“Debra was great with my golden doodle. She gave updates and sent pictures. My dog was very well taken care of during her stay. I will definitely use her again. I highly recommend Debra to care for your furry friends.”

“Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.”
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire 42 years of life and worked as a Veterinary Technician for 16 of them! I’m here for simple walks and drop ins to watching your pets while you’re away and medication administration and senior care! Currently pet sitting only so my schedule is available Monday - Friday and some weekends. Very open to you and your pets needs and working around your schedule! I am very mindful of my clients homes as well as the safety of their pets. I also provide photo updates and text check ins with every visit.
“Our cats love Tamara! Even the one that hides under the bed when strangers come over. They run to see her when she arrives. I feel comfortable knowing they like her so much. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am.so happy to meet Alex! It.was a relief having her take care of my cats! Definitely will be using her again in the future!”
“Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”
About: Hello! My name is Brieleigh and I am a student at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne Florida. In college I study math and am on the NCAA swim team. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and, naturally, know how to take care of them. While I do not have a cat now, I have had my fair share of wild kittens in my life. I love animals and am looking to help others out with there pets! I am a college swimmer and student, but am off all summer! Will have a lot of availability to be home with your pups. (: Dogs are family! When in others home I will respect it as if it is my own. You are paying for my services and I will make sure you get what you payed for through respect and care.
About: Like many others‚ I've been around animals my whole life, and while being a pet owner naturally teaches you about responsibility and how to take care of an animal, what really helped prepare me and build my confidence to provide reliable professional pet care was working in animal care facilities․ I began working as a kennel technician during my senior year of high school, where I was responsible for feeding animals, administering medications, cleaning kennels, and ensuring each pet received the attention and care they needed․ When I started college, I continued working seasonally during breaks, but eventually transitioned into a job that tailored my college needs. Throughout high school though, I continuously pet-sat for some family friends. I am currently a junior at Florida Tech․ I work as a customer service representative and animal care attendant at Dogspot Hotel․ The great thing about working at the Dogspot Hotel is that I get to interact with clients and their dogs‚ and provide the best service for each animal․ I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications including insulin‚ as well as handling animals with a variety of medical conditions and behavioral issues․ A little extra about me, I have three dogs, three cats, and a Russian tortoise! When school starts up again in August‚ I will be a full-time college student at Florida Tech and working part-time․ My class schedule will be set‚ but my job is very flexible and I will be able to work around my class schedule․ Classes are scheduled mainly four days a week‚ with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. This gives me more flexibility to care for pets, including check-ins throughout the day, or overnight in the case of boarding․ I currently live in Melbourne‚ in the house that I rent with my roommates‚ and while my roommates have no problems with me having pets, our landlord has stated that they do not allow pets in the house. So any pet care would have to take place outside of my home.
“Sandy was fantastic. I had peace of mind knowing my animals were well taken care of. She sent pictures daily with little updates. It’s tough when you’re out of state - but all was well with Sandy. Definitely recommend and of course will use again!!”
“Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She was so incredible with our cats and even one of our cats that doesn’t warm up to strangers loves her! This is the first time we have left our cats for so long and we were worried, but after the first visit with Michelle we were so happy and could relax! She went over and above what we expected and could not ask for a better pet sitter! We will be using her a lot!!! If you were ever on the fence about leaving your previous pets in the care of a stranger, you should use Michelle and never worry about your fur babies! Thank you so much Michelle!!”
About: Hi, I’m Lex! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently share my days with two pit bulls, Ted and Wayne, who have taught me patience, structure, and just how much personality one dog can have. I’m also very familiar with dogs who need a little extra reassurance, consistency, or space to warm up. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from laid-back couch companions to dogs who need long walks, enrichment, and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate routines, and reinforcing any training you’re already working on at home. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a reliable walker, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! — Lex I just arrived in Florida and am in the process of settling in, so my schedule is very flexible right now. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my days around walks, feedings, drop-ins, and quality time. Since I’m not juggling another job at the moment, I can be fully present and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy building my routine around caring for animals. I focus on caring for pets in their own home through walks and drop-in visits, where they’re most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to energy levels and personalities, whether that means a long walk to burn energy or a calm check-in with extra affection. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and feel safe and cared for, and I always send updates and photos after visits.

“Jorge’s service was great. My pets spent the day with him and were returned to me well. I received pictures and he was responsive to my check texts. His property is welcoming and so was he. I would recommend his services to anyone looking in this area.”
“Aniston was wonderful! Reef seemed so happy (and tired) when I picked him up. Aniston was very communicative and responsive. Will definitely use Aniston again and highly recommend her”
“Highly recommend Kristen! She is attentive and caring with our doggies. Provides updates often, has a backyard so they can run around, and spends lots of time with them. Definitely will contact Kristen again.”
“My goodness. We needed day care for our two pups and, boy, were we pleased with Alexander and Dorys. They were not only communicative, friendly, obvious dog lovers, but took such great care of our boys. It was quite clear they were interacting with our pups, the entire day! We look forward to using them, again. (Especially since the boys can't stop talking about all the fun they had.) We are very grateful.”
About: You could probably say I enjoy being around dogs more than most people. I consider dogs angels. I love to spoil them. My two girls are very spoiled. I have always had a dog. At one time I had 4 large dogs. I know what distress looks like and I know animal safeguarding. My husband and I have a deep bond with animals. We will care for your dog just as if they were ours. I’m a retired teacher and I love and truly understand dogs. I will love your pet as if he/she were my own. I’ve done all kinds of medications including kidney care involving injections and oral medicine. I have a fenced in yard and a safe place to walk dogs. I have two female Shitzus and they are very very friendly. I have had puppies, teenage dogs, and seniors. We only care for one families’ dog(s) at a time so they receive the care they deserve. We will send lots of pictures of your dog during our time with us and we will always follow your care instructions.
“Wonderful family. Our Turtle was spoiled with their love and attention (they even brushed her out and made her a wonderful fluff ball. We will hope Turtle can visit her new friends again.”
“Debra is very professional and loves dogs! Raven loves her! We highly recommend Debra to any loving dog parent looking for day care or overnights for their furry kid. 💞🐾💯”
“Louie loves going to Lora and Brenda’s house. He likes the lap time and getting treats and playing with the other dogs. He always comes home happy. We highly recommend Lora and Brenda. Your dogs will be in good hands.”
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic both before and throughout our first day of boarding with Hoola. There was great communication with a meet and greet and eventual day of fun with Brittany and Hugo (who is truly a gem of a dog.) Hoola was clearly very well cared for and loved in our absence. Thanks for making this experience so positive and we look forward to booking with you again soon. Definitely would highly recommend.”
About: My wife and I have been pet sitting for several years. My clients have all become part of the family. I genuinely love being around animals, going for walks and spending time with animals. We were dog sitting previously in Canada while living there, we would be happy to provide you with additional references. We have the friendliest 7 year old Irish setter who absolutely loves being around people and dogs (He spends a lot of his time at Fred Popp dog park running in circles for an hour). He loves both large and small dogs and he does not seem to care if they are female or male. When pet sitting at your home, my dog will stay home with his other family members . We work from home so were always around. We love walking and being outdoors so your pet will get lots of exercise (I can track the pets walks on my phone and send updates and photos so you know your buddy is having a great time). We will always discuss the pets needs before caring for them as every pet is different and deserves the staycation that's best for them. We will discuss the pets' needs with the owner and come up with a plan that they are comfortable. (I'll do my best to stick to the same routine they have at home )
About: I've grown up around animals my entire life and while I love them all, dogs hold a special place in my heart. Now in my adult life, owning a fur-baby (dog) myself, I truly understand the concern around finding someone to look after them while you're away and cannot bring them with. Because if we could bring them every where, we would, right!? :) I work from home full-time Monday thru Friday, which provides the flexibility to care for your fur-baby. I have several years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for family, friends, and colleagues. I would love to get to know your fur-baby and provide the best possible care for them! ** Unfortunately because of my own dog being reactive, I cannot board at this time. Since I work from home, I am able to provide your fur-baby the attention and care they need depending on their specific needs. I know dogs thrive on a consistent schedule and am happy to help maintain their normal routine while you're away from home. My top priority is make sure your fur-baby feels "at home" where ever they are. If they have a specific routine that we need to follow every day, I will adhere to them.
“My fur baby had the best time with Carly! I don’t think she wanted to come home. Carly did a great job keeping me updated throughout the day and made me feel assured that Nala was in great hands.”
About: I had dogs growing up and they always brought so much joy. I have fostered animals mostly puppies and at one time I had 5 puppies that I was potty training. If your pet requires medication via needle or pill, I am comfortable with either. I work from home and I am flexible in taking care of your pet. Whether it is a walk, daily feeding or sleep over I am home most of the time. If your fur baby is staying the night, we will discuss specific needs, such as feeding time, treats, walks, etc. if I am walking your fur baby, is there a specific area or length of walk you prefer. I am also available to let your dog out during the day and make sure your fur baby has enough water.
“Michelle was great! She was willing to take our pups on short notice and we felt so comfortable with the whole process. She kept us very informed and took such great care of them. Very caring but also very professional- 10/10 would recommend 👌”
“We could not have had a better first experience with a dog sitter! Our dog is 3 years old and has never been away from us or kenneled so we were looking for a sitter that would be as close and comfortable to home as possible. Darcy and her husband are that and more and put us at ease right away! I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again for an extended stay next month!”
“I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone using Rover who wants someone trustworthy and attentive for their pet. Most importantly, he clearly cares about the pets he looks after. My dog warmed up to him quickly, and came back happy, calm, and well-exercised. Josh followed all instructions perfectly and handled everything with professionalism.”
“Julia was wonderfully accommodating and I was so thankful she could take my baby at the last minute! She made my shy girl feel safe and comfortable and went above and beyond to try to hand feed her when she wouldn’t eat 💛 Will definitely be back if I’m ever in town again. Thanks Julia!!”
“Mark made Hudson feel right at home and like he was part of the pack. He made me feel at ease when I dropped him off as sometimes Hudson can be a bit persnickety and I left knowing he would have control of the situation and Hudson fit right in! Would recommend and book again!”

About: We’re a pet-loving couple with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. Over the years, we’ve shared our home with animals of all ages — from playful puppies to wise senior dogs who lived happy, healthy lives well into their late teens (some as old as 19!). We’ve raised many litters of puppies and know firsthand the love, patience, and care that every stage of life requires. We treat every pet like part of our family, with plenty of attention, affection, and understanding of their individual needs. Whether your furry friend needs gentle senior care, energetic walks, or simply a calm, loving presence while you’re away, we’re here to provide peace of mind and heartfelt care. Areas serviced: Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Paradise Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach and South Beaches. My husband and I recently stepped back from our property management work, which has opened up a lot of time in our daily and weekly schedule. Caring for animals has always been a big part of our lives, so we’re excited to fill that time doing something we truly love — spending time with pets! We now have a flexible schedule that allows us to give each pet the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s drop-in visits or daily walks, we can easily adjust our days around your pet’s routine to make sure they always feel safe, loved, and cared for. When we care for pets in a client’s home, we treat both the pet and the home with the same respect and care we would our own. We always follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules and walks to preferred routines and house rules — so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. We take safety seriously, making sure doors and gates are properly secured, leashes are used at all times on walks, and pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe areas. We believe trust is built through communication, so we provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while your pet enjoys familiar surroundings.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs but have been dog sitting for several years now. At home my family has two very high-energy dogs so I know what it takes to keep them occupied and exercised. We can have lots of play time if that’s what your dog enjoys or just hangout together around the house if that’s more their speed. You can guarantee on receiving updates and photos of your dog while away if all the fun things we are doing! We will do a long walk or run or playtime in the morning before it’s too hot out. Throughout the day we will have outside time and can do shorter walks or go on adventures together and in the evening another long walk or playtime! My schedule is super flexible. I follow your care instructions so the dog has the same rules and routines while you’re away. I want your dog to be comfortable and have fun while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from a high-energy boxer to a Maltese and a laid-back basset hound—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience helps me quickly read a dog’s needs, whether it’s giving puppies extra patience and structure or making sure senior dogs are comfortable and cared for at their own pace. I treat every dog like family and adjust my care to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I work from home Monday - Friday from 8-5, which gives me plenty of flexibility to take dogs out for walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I already aim to walk about 10k steps daily, so getting outside with your pup fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home most of the day and typically only step out briefly for the gym. On weekends, my schedule is relaxed and flexible. If your dog loves the beach, I’m often there soaking up the sun and fresh air—but if they prefer to stay in, I’m just as happy spending the weekend cuddling, playing, or keeping them company at home. I love adapting to each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved! I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on consistency, safety, and making them feel comfortable in their environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines, since I know pets thrive on familiarity. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I’m attentive to behavior changes, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and cared for.
“Brian is an amazing dog sitter! Our dogs were comfortable with him the second they met him. He was consistently on time to feed and walk the boys and always sent a quick summary and pictures to hold us over until we could get back home to them. We will definitely be asking Brian to watch our dogs again in the future!”
“We have been using Mary for about 6 weeks now for mid-day walks; she is attentive, dependable, trustworthy, and just an all around great caretaker of our new pup Dasher! If there were a 6 star rating, that’s how we would rate Mary! ric and steph”
“We had a great introduction and walk. Our dog is afraid of new people, but with proper introduction (and the right treats) he warms up well. For this first walk we where present the whole time to make sure our dog’s comfort and confidence would open up. We wanted to find a Rover person who in future we could possibly board with. So we needed him to be happy and relaxed with the new Rover person. At first our dog was nervous and wary, which historically he usually is with new people. But after a bit time and space, yummy treats, and remaning a comfortable walking distance apart from Joshua, his curiousity grew enough where he was willing to approach. Josh got down to his level and which allowed our dog to approach Josh on his own will. When that moment happened we rewarded his curiousity with lots of praise and yummy treats. From then on we walked side by side with Joshua, and our dog warmed up enough where he was frequently looking back anticipating more pets and treats from Joshua during the walk. Joshua also asked us great questions about our dog and his history, to figure out how to best work with him. In the end our dog was so happy when Joshua said “good bye Stitch,” he actually did one last hop-skip towards Josh even though we were getting ready to go to our car the opposite direction away. We have much gratitude for the opportunity to work with Joshua to socialize him more. We are planning on booking in the future for some types of walks too and would be willing to board if needed.”
About: Hello, I am Christine, a passionate animal lover and experienced dog owner with a strong background in animal behavior and pet care. I have extensive experience training and caring for dogs, including a 16-year-old yellow Labrador retriever who sadly passed away in February 2023. Additionally, I've fostered and adopted several dogs through both Labrador Retriever Resce and local Boxer Rescue groups. I married my soulmate in 2023 and shortly after adopted our now 2+ year old Labrador from a local rescue group. In addition to my personal experience, I have also worked with and volunteered for a local SPCA, fostering dozens of dogs and offering in-home pet sitting services. I am committed to providing the highest quality care for your pets and am happy to provide references upon request. I'm currently focusing all of my time on caring for our 6 month old pup and caring for your pup as well! Either in your home or mine! We have a 6 foot, fully fenced in safe and secured back yard. We have a 48" pool for cooling off in during the hotter months and lots of interactive toys to keep them occupied as well!

About: I’ve had a dog by my side since the day I was born. In fact, the only time in my entire life I haven't had a pup around was a single year during college, and that was one year too many. Dogs are a constant in my life, not just a hobby. I have a strong passion for working with disabled and special needs animals. Whether it's managing mobility issues, administering medication, or providing the extra patience required for physical or behavioral challenges, I’m fully committed to that level of care. I’m also very experienced with resource guarding and high energy breeds. I don’t just watch dogs; I work to understand their specific personality and needs so they feel safe and supported. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be truly present and attentive during the week. I am available Monday through Saturday for drop ins, dog walks, vet visits, conditioning sessions, dog transport, or love bombs. I am generally free to help out starting at 2:00 PM on weekdays and have much more open availability on Saturdays. I do not offer services on Sunday. I focus on high quality mobile care for your pups during the week. My priority is being entirely respectful of both your dog’s comfort and your home environment. I understand that every dog has a specific routine and safe space, and I make it a point to maintain that structure to keep stress levels low. You can count on me to be professional and meticulous with your property. I treat every home with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether we are out for a walk or hanging out inside, I focus on clear communication and safety so you have total peace of mind.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just a dependable companion while you're away, I’m here to help. I specialize in: ✔️ Dog walking & drop-in visits ✔️ Cat care and attention to shy or senior pets ✔️ Administering medications & following feeding routines ✔️ Puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs I work from home, so I’m available during early mornings, evenings, and weekends — and I’m very flexible to meet your pet’s needs for those times. From last-minute requests to regular visits, I’m happy to help, especially in emergency situations when you need someone you can truly rely on! We can definitely work something out ! Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusted relationships with a wide range of clients — from business owners to politicians, and even pet parents I’ve only met virtually. They’ve trusted me with both their homes and their beloved animals, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life, and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, special needs (lots of medication) dogs, and working with multiple dogs at one time. My favorite part about working with dogs is being able to run and play with them. I am available early mornings and late nights. I also love trail walking/running, so I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need! I follow a rigorous routine of walking/running with my own dogs, and will take the same care with yours! Based on your pets exercise level, we can walk/run for up to an hour as needed. Caring for other dogs involves building trust through playtime, walks, and of course, treats! Making sure your dog is comfortable on walks and overnights is the top most priority.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and breeds. I have cared for many dogs and cats over 20 years. I would be honored to sit or care for your fur/fur-less babies! I am available Mon-Thurs without exceptions. Fri, Sat & Sun I can be available with my profession exceptions. Very flexible and open to your needs. I will come to your home to care for your pet in their comfort zone. No need to disturb their routine. Responsible, reliable and honored to care for your family member.
About: I have had 4 very different dogs over 30+ yrs and really enjoyed having them in my life. I loved and trained each one through various stages and challenges of dog life. My current dog is approaching a year old. Recently retired, I finally have free time to devote to animals. I love to take walks and would love nothing more than to help working owners with walking and/or playing with their dog(s). I always felt bad for my dog's long days alone when I worked fulltime. I feel there would be less dogs in shelters if people had more time to give their pets the exercise they need to be happy and healthy. This opportunity would be a win-win for both me and a lucky dog!
About: I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits and have been a caretaker on another platform for child and pet services. I am also comfortable giving medication to animals. I am attentive to animal needs and communicate with clients quickly. I have two kittens Dexter and Maui and one senior cat,Bob, who has daily medication. I enjoy playing with pets and getting to know their quirky personalities. I always follow client instructions and ask for further clarification if I need more information. I am comfortable with all breeds and multiple animals. I have medical background, but I am currently in school so I am not working in the hospitals. When I had 3 cocker spaniels, I cooked them meat with green beans and rice, so I am capable of preparing meals as well. I can stop by multiple times day or night. Also, available to house sit and will care for multiple pets. Currently not working so I have an open schedule I have two cats in my home, so I cannot board any animals, but I’d be happy to care for your fur baby at your residence

“Kristen was amazing! She sent us regular pictures and answered any questions I had before we met. Kristen might have actually done too good of a job our dogs were as excited as they normally are to see us when we picked them up.”
“We were going on vacation for 2 weeks and our original plan fell apart, and thats when I found Caesar here on Rover. What caught my eye was that one of his reviews said that their dogs were tired after their stay, and with 2 Boston Terrier, that was all I needed to read and so I booked. Right away, my mind was at ease, our meet and greet was wonderful, lots of room and ready for you fur-baby. The best part was daily photos, video and wonderful stories of their activities and adventures, that my husband and I would enjoy reading every night at dinner. We even joked that our dogs might not want to come back home to us..lol 😆 We are most definitely going to book again and recommend Caesar to our friends, and YES, Jett and Merlin were exhausted when we brought them home. 🐕👍🤩”
“Lora and Brenda have been lovingly caring for our pups for a few years, now. Whether it has been just a few hours or two weeks, the quality of care has consistently been first-rate. The level of trust we have come to appreciate has allowed us to remain at ease knowing our precious boys are safe, happy, and treated like family, while we are away.”
“Felicia & Greg are the best! Very communicative and more than happy to accommodate when our plans changed last and we needed to extend Bimini's stay. It is so nice to go out of town and know that your pup is in great hands. Bimini always comes home worn out from all the fun she's had. Thank you both so much!”
“It’s hard to leave my pets while I’m on vacay, but Gail’s loving home, superb supervision, and timely updates made me feel relaxed and confident while traveling. I will definitely use Gail for my next trip and I would recommend her highly.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! They went above and beyond taking care of Maize, giving me total peace of mind while I was away. I received frequent updates and tons of photos, which made me feel so connected and reassured. Maize looked so happy, well-cared-for, and loved the whole time. Truly phenomenal service—reliable, thoughtful, and caring. I would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family!”
“The Best of the Best. Very good to work with. She treated Kramer with care and Kramer got along with her just fine. I will use agian in a heartbeat. Totally happy. Thank You from us to you…………👍🏻”
“Olivia was amazing with our dog Nikki, assisting us last minute, picking up and dropping off, taking lots of pictures and going above and beyond with our little fur baby's care needs. Definitely will use again for any time Nikki needs a good sitter!”
“Olivia and family were terrific watching our Sully. Lots of picture updates and overall well being of him while he spent his time with Olivia and her family. Sully got lots of walks and attention. Overall great experience having Sully stay with her.”
“Josh was fantastic and went above and beyond to take care of my babies! They were so happy when I picked them up and came back home like they never left, will absolutely book with him again!!”
“Kristine took great care of our Old English Sheepdog. Leo felt right at home and seemed to make immediate friends with her dog. They were at ease, hung out together and slept together like a happy family. We had daily updates and picture from this weeklong boarding. Won’t hesitate to book Kristine for next years’ Melbourne trip”
“Even a hurricane didn't stop Pat from providing the best care of our two retrievers! Benson and Cooper love staying with her and I trust her to spoil them both. Benson managed to tear a few claw and Pat knew what to do and took him to our vet for treatment. Thank you!!!”
About: My wife and I have been pet sitting for several years. My clients have all become part of the family. I genuinely love being around animals, going for walks and spending time with animals. We were dog sitting previously in Canada while living there, we would be happy to provide you with additional references. We have the friendliest 7 year old Irish setter who absolutely loves being around people and dogs (He spends a lot of his time at Fred Popp dog park running in circles for an hour). He loves both large and small dogs and he does not seem to care if they are female or male. When pet sitting at your home, my dog will stay home with his other family members . We work from home so were always around. We love walking and being outdoors so your pet will get lots of exercise (I can track the pets walks on my phone and send updates and photos so you know your buddy is having a great time). We will always discuss the pets needs before caring for them as every pet is different and deserves the staycation that's best for them. We will discuss the pets' needs with the owner and come up with a plan that they are comfortable. (I'll do my best to stick to the same routine they have at home )
“As always, Susan was amazing with my high maintenance and anxious girl. Our Chloe has stayed multiple times with Susan and her daughter, but this was a much longer trip. Susan calmed my worries right away though, and let me know how she was doing every day. I cannot express how wonderful it feels to go on a vacation with our family (something we would have never been able to do prior to meeting Susan) and feel completely at ease that our girl is in the best hands. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.”
