“Lauren was amazing. Kept me updated with how my dog Danny was doing and sent pictures as well. Answered any questions I had. Very much recommend her. She was very friendly and my Danny had a great time with her. I will definitely be rebooking.”
“Colleen was great with my golden ! She watched her for a few hours while I had company at my house. She was patient with my bossy girl. Daisy didn’t want to leave !”
“Carl and Linda did a wonderful job caring for Kali! As soon as we met, I knew it would be a good fit. It’s so nice to have that peace of mind when I’m traveling. They sent me photo updates regularly which I really appreciated. Kali clearly fell in love with them. I will definitely rebooking!”
“From the beginning I was nervous about leaving one of our two dogs because he is a rescue that had never been away from me for more than a few days and never in someone else’s house. We arranged a meet and greet at there home and that went well. We dropped them of the morning of our trip, leaving quickly like you would with a toddler. Crystal was very understanding about my trepidation over leaving Titan. Throughout our trip she sent me many pictures of both dogs but paid extra attention to letting me know how Titan was adjusting, this consideration meant a lot to me. When we picked up our dogs of course they were happy to see us we spent the whole day as an outing with them and the one thing both my husband and I noticed was the change in Titan, he seemed more outgoing toward strangers and friendlier towards other dogs so we truly believe this was a great experience for our nervous dog. I would highly recommend both Crystal and Tim and their daughters to anyone looking for a nice family setting for their pet while they’re away.”
“My puppy had a great time with this family! She got a fenced in backyard, another pup to play with, and lots of snuggles! They were super accommodating for drop off/pickup and located in a great spot. Will use them again and I recommend fully for others looking!”
“This was our 2nd time leaving Kenny with Nancy and they were superb once again. In addition to daily photos and updates, quick communication, They even added a personalized touch with a gift and holiday photo card of our pup which was so sweet! Definitely our go-to for stress free care of our pet any time we’re back in town.”
“Thank you Shelly for taking such great care of our dog Charlie. We loved all the pictures you sent to us as we could see how well he was doing and all the fun he was having. So lucky to have found you!! We will be back. Highly-qualified and loving person ❤”
About: Hi, I'm Lorraine! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I'm currently a proud pet mom to Winston, my loyal 8-year-old Chocolate Labrador; Bear, his mischievous 8-month-old Mini Dachshund brother; Sam, our curious 9-month-old cat; Theodore, our sweet 6-year-old bunny; and Tito, our 9-year-old feisty Green-Cheek Conure. Over the years, I've been fortunate to love many wonderful pets. I raised our beloved mastiff mix Bruno, from puppyhood through his senior years until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 16 years old. I've also cared for our two cats, Dolly and Mowgli, from kittens into adulthood. Beyond cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and birds, including my beautiful Blue Quaker Parrot, Mr. Grumbles. Most recently, I enjoyed running a small homestead where I cared for 25 chickens and 2 roosters, along with 22 hand-raised cheeky ducks. When you entrust your pets to my care, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they'll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own family pets. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and plenty of photos to help you feel connected to your furry (or feathered!) family members. Before any booking, I'd love to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and individual needs, and ensure their vacation is just as enjoyable as yours! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I care for my own pets every day. My mornings begin with feeding, walks, fresh water, cleaning litter trays and cages, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need before I start my day. Throughout the day, I make time for potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection, with usually an hour-long evening walks, feeding, and bedtime routines to finish the day. When I'm caring for your pet, I make them part of my routine too. I carefully follow their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away, ensuring they receive the same love, patience, and attentive care that I give my own pets When dogs stay in my home, they'll be welcomed into a safe, loving environment alongside my two friendly, well-mannered dogs. I have a securely fenced backyard where they can enjoy supervised playtime, explore, and relax on the shaded porch. Daily exercise is an important part of our routine, so I walk my dogs twice a day through my gated community, always on a leash for their safety. For puppies and younger dogs who are still learning, I'm happy to reinforce basic commands and good manners using positive, consistent encouragement. I always follow your preferred routines and training methods to help maintain consistency. For drop-in visits, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you, your pet, and their normal routine. This gives us an opportunity to discuss feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions, ensuring your pet receives personalized care while you're away. Throughout each visit, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind.
“From the very first meet and great we felt so comfortable with Jillian. Such a warm, comfortable environment. She has such a soothing presence. Dakota took right to her. We got wonderful updates and pictures all weekend. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.”
“Very pleasant person, Handled our dog well and made sure we we up to date on how he was doing, Sent pictures as well. Provided great feedback. We were able to relax and no worry. Will definately use her again. Thank you for everything.”
“Jonathan and his wife were great with my pup! They were very responsive, and I got some picture updates throughout the stay. They were also able to give my dog his meds, which isn’t always easy. One of their dogs and my dog were not best friends, but Jonathan and his wife made sure all the dogs were safe and had play time. 😊”
“We were happy to find Jolene as it was nice to know that our dog would have some cat and dog company whilst we were away. As an older boy traditional dog boarding wears him out. He just wants to nap in peace with a like minded companion. Upon meeting Jolene I felt confident that Sampson would be comfortable and well looked after. We enjoyed the photo updates provided during our absence. I believe Sammy dog enjoyed his time. Thank you. Jolene. It was lovely to meet you.”
“My English Setter Chase was so well.looked after. He was happy and having so much fun that I am not sure he wanted to leave.!! Will definately go back again!”
“Like always good quality boarding for our Khloe! Our Khloe always super exited once we arrive at Susies home. That only says how good of a sitter she always is. Thank You Susie!”
“Was wonderful with our puppy and even helped us out last minute. Overall a great experience and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely use again when in the Orlando area!”
“Melissa was amazing with our fur babies! One of our dogs has never met a stranger but the other is very apprehensive about new people and she warmed up after only about a day, whereas it usually takes her multiple days. We will absolutely reach out again next time we need a sitter.”

About: I have four dogs ranging from small to large. I got my first dog in 2018 and added on since. I’ve spent a lot of time training my dogs teaching them commands, going on walks and finding activities that are exercising their minds. I have two bunnies as well, if you know anything about bunnies, you know that they can sometimes be a lot of work. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love all of my animals and I will love yours just as much as mine. I currently stay at home as I am focusing on college. This allows me to care for myself, my pets, and now your pets. I am available all hours of the day, for walking or drop in visits with your furry friends! I do not personally have pets that come to my house since I do have dogs and bunnies of my own. In your home I believe dogs are more comfortable in their own environment. Any instruction you give me on how to take care of your pet is going to be strictly followed. Every pet that I care for will get love will get enriching activities will get exercise taken on walks food and water, which is all very bare minimum for pet sitter.
“Bethany was fantastic! My cat and I recently made a cross-country move and leaving her alone in a new place for a week made me so anxious (probably more anxious than the cat was). Bethany made sure Mimi had everything she needed and sent me daily updates. 💜”
“Priya was very attentive and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She sent detailed updates with every drop in. She kept an eye on our home for us too. I would highly recommend her!”
“Chrystal does great with my 4 cats! This is the second time I’ve booked her and she is wonderful. She gives updates and pics at every visit and also gives details if something happened with any of the cats. She was so kind and brought our trash cans in while we were gone. She’s great with administering oral meds to my senior cat and following my feeding instructions. Don’t hesitate in booking her. Thank you Chrystal! :)”
“Caitlyn saved our 4th of July trip and made sure Nova didn't feel alone while we were gone. Walks daily, always updated if she ate or went potty. It made me feel so much better for my 1st time hiring a dog sitter.”
“So thankful we found Megan. She was extremely helpful checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! Sweet and attentive, she made us feel confident that our babies would be safe and attended to while we were away.”
“Katie was fantastic, and her attentive service made me feel completely at ease and able to feel confident that my cat was safe and in good hands while I was out of town”
About: Aside from referencing my overall experience, I hold a special place in my heart for our often misunderstood feline friends. I have two cats of my own whom I love and care for dearly.

“My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.”
About: I've been a devoted cat lover and pet parent for over 26 years, and caring for cats has been one of the greatest joys of my life. From playful kittens to senior cats, I've experienced every stage of feline life and understand that each cat has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a dedicated pet parent, I know how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where cats feel comfortable and secure. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys quiet companionship, I'll respect their individual preferences and care for them with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. I treat every cat as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, clean litter, playtime, and, of course, lots of love. I'll also keep you connected while you're away with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your feline family member is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands.
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life and currently have two of my own. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and independent. Whether your cat needs feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications, or just a calm, stress-free presence while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I understand that every cat has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow it to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I’ve cared for all animals big and small for as long as I can remember. Growing up my mom worked for the SPCA of Brevard and we had over 13 cats, an iguana, a tarantula and a pit mix. I specialized in animal body language courses during my time volunteering at the SPCA. l fostered and trained blind, deaf and non-dog friendly pups, learned how to administer medication on dogs and cats, walked intake doggos and helped during feedings. My first job out of high school was dog grooming so I have plenty of experience in washing, drying and checking for any injuries and for ticks and flees. I love every pet as if they were my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I work bartending nights during the week 5pm-2am and I am off during Monday, Tuesdays and Friday’s, I am always able to bring fur babies to work if needed! I have a fenced in back yard, a 3 yr old husky to keep your pup entertained as well as a dog friendly work environment! Our home has crates and plenty of space for separate feedings and time apart if you pup gets easily anxious! We allow our dog on our couches/beds so we are always open for extra cuddles!

I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs.

About: I’ve been caring for animals from cats to dogs to fish and turtles since I was young. I love animals and can’t wait to ease your travel or emergency worries while you are away. I work from home and will follow your schedule to the best of my ability, so your pet will be looked after during the day! I work from home so I am available all day everyday typically. It’s so fun to learn each pets quirks and personalities. Pet care helps me get out and get my steps in. House (Day) Sitting: Since I have a fur baby and family of my own, I generally provide early morning-late evening services following your schedule. Of course, if your pet needs special attention, this can be accommodated for overnight care. Please disclose all indoor cameras. Boarding: For their safety and little piece of home, please bring your baby’s kennel/cage/carrier and something that smells like you along with food and water bowls.
About: I provide personalized, attentive care and treat every pet like a member of my own family. With years 12 of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need extra supervision, frequent potty breaks, and consistency, as well as senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace, patience, and extra comfort. I’m also comfortable administering oral and injectable medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and on schedule. What sets me apart is the level of communication and care I provide. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, quick responses, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for in a safe, loving home. Pet care is a big part of our daily routine! My husband, Isaiah, works Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I bartend in the evenings from 4:00 PM until around 1:00 AM. Because of our opposite schedules, your dog receives plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home during the mornings and afternoons for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks before leaving for work, and Isaiah is home in the late afternoons and evenings to continue their care before I return home at night. We work together to make sure every dog stays on their normal routine with regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, and lots of love and attention. Our goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My home is kept clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards to provide a safe environment. If I have multiple boarding dogs, I carefully consider each dog’s temperament and only accept pets that I know can safely coexist. If needed, dogs can be separated during meals, rest time, or whenever it’s in their best interest. I also provide regular photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and having fun while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and stress-free throughout the stay.

For puppies and younger dogs who are still learning, I'm happy to reinforce basic commands and good manners using positive, consistent encouragement. I always follow your preferred routines and training methods to help maintain consistency. For drop-in visits, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you, your pet, and their normal routine. This gives us an opportunity to discuss feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions, ensuring your pet receives personalized care while you're away. Throughout each visit, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve been a zookeeper for 8 years so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I currently have open availability for all my services.

About: I am a military veteran with a background as a Military Police officer and K9 handler, with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have worked with working breeds, high-energy dogs, and family pets, providing daily care such as feeding, basic medication administration, leash handling, enrichment, and structured routines. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs that benefit from consistent boundaries and positive reinforcement. My K9 experience has strengthened my situational awareness, patience, and ability to read animal behavior to ensure safe, calm, and positive interactions. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I drop my son off at daycare at 8:30 AM and pick him up at 5:00 PM. I can also provide service after 8:00 PM if night checks are needed. I am available for walks, drop‑ins, check‑ins, and extended care at any time between those hours and late nights. My consistent weekday availability allows me to maintain reliable routines and provide focused, unrushed care. Safety is my top priority. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain secure leash handling, and remain aware of surroundings during walks and visits. In clients’ homes, I respect boundaries, keep spaces clean, and ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured. My law enforcement and K9 background has trained me to anticipate risks, remain calm, and make sound decisions to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi, I'm Lorraine! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I'm currently a proud pet mom to Winston, my loyal 8-year-old Chocolate Labrador; Bear, his mischievous 8-month-old Mini Dachshund brother; Sam, our curious 9-month-old cat; Theodore, our sweet 6-year-old bunny; and Tito, our 9-year-old feisty Green-Cheek Conure. Over the years, I've been fortunate to love many wonderful pets. I raised our beloved mastiff mix Bruno, from puppyhood through his senior years until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 16 years old. I've also cared for our two cats, Dolly and Mowgli, from kittens into adulthood. Beyond cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and birds, including my beautiful Blue Quaker Parrot, Mr. Grumbles. Most recently, I enjoyed running a small homestead where I cared for 25 chickens and 2 roosters, along with 22 hand-raised cheeky ducks. When you entrust your pets to my care, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they'll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own family pets. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and plenty of photos to help you feel connected to your furry (or feathered!) family members. Before any booking, I'd love to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and individual needs, and ensure their vacation is just as enjoyable as yours! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I care for my own pets every day. My mornings begin with feeding, walks, fresh water, cleaning litter trays and cages, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need before I start my day. Throughout the day, I make time for potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection, with usually an hour-long evening walks, feeding, and bedtime routines to finish the day. When I'm caring for your pet, I make them part of my routine too. I carefully follow their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away, ensuring they receive the same love, patience, and attentive care that I give my own pets When dogs stay in my home, they'll be welcomed into a safe, loving environment alongside my two friendly, well-mannered dogs. I have a securely fenced backyard where they can enjoy supervised playtime, explore, and relax on the shaded porch.

“Very pleasant person, Handled our dog well and made sure we we up to date on how he was doing, Sent pictures as well. Provided great feedback. We were able to relax and no worry. Will definately use her again. Thank you for everything.”
“Jonathan and his wife were great with my pup! They were very responsive, and I got some picture updates throughout the stay. They were also able to give my dog his meds, which isn’t always easy. One of their dogs and my dog were not best friends, but Jonathan and his wife made sure all the dogs were safe and had play time. 😊”
“We were happy to find Jolene as it was nice to know that our dog would have some cat and dog company whilst we were away. As an older boy traditional dog boarding wears him out. He just wants to nap in peace with a like minded companion. Upon meeting Jolene I felt confident that Sampson would be comfortable and well looked after. We enjoyed the photo updates provided during our absence. I believe Sammy dog enjoyed his time. Thank you. Jolene. It was lovely to meet you.”
“My English Setter Chase was so well.looked after. He was happy and having so much fun that I am not sure he wanted to leave.!! Will definately go back again!”
“Was wonderful with our puppy and even helped us out last minute. Overall a great experience and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely use again when in the Orlando area!”
“Melissa was amazing with our fur babies! One of our dogs has never met a stranger but the other is very apprehensive about new people and she warmed up after only about a day, whereas it usually takes her multiple days. We will absolutely reach out again next time we need a sitter.”
“Anthony took care of our fur baby while we were on vacation for 11 days. He was communicative, kept us informed with messages and photos. The dog was well taken care of, and happy. Thank you Anthnoy.”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“She was amazing for it being short notice. She sent us plenty of pictures and even bathed Colt while she had him. I would definitely recommend her, and most definitely will use her as our go-to sitter.”
“Let me start by saying that in addition to this being my first Rover experience, this is the first time my 11 year old dog, Chloe, has ever stayed away from home – for any length of time. While Chloe loves people, she is not dog-friendly, so boarding her has never been an option. Previously, anytime we wanted to go away, we tried to coax family members or friends to stay at our house, which is never easy. Desperate for a solution, we came across Rover, and met the two most wonderful people. I am so grateful for Susan and her daughter. First of all, they had no prejudice against my sweet, Pitbull mix, or her high-maintenance quirks. They were more than happy to schedule a meet and greet with us. From the moment I met them, I knew they would be the perfect fit for my anxious girl. Susan is so sweet, calm, and understanding. She listened to all my concerns and put me (and Chloe) right at ease. Her daughter is just as wonderful. She is so mature, well-behaved, and well-mannered. I had no doubt that Chloe would be in the best hands. We scheduled a one-night trial run, just to see how Chloe would handle being away from home. Everything between the drop-off and pick-up went flawlessly. I really appreciated the communication and pictures throughout the day. Susan helped alleviate my worries, and made me feel more relaxed knowing that Chloe was in excellent care. Chloe was able to settle in with them nicely, and the stay was a success. We just completed a second booking for 3 nights, and everything went just as smoothly as the first experience. Susan has been so comforting and reassuring throughout this entire process, and I highly recommend her. I am so blessed to have found such wonderful, caring people to look after my girl.”
“Sylvia was the absolutely best sitter that I could have expected for my dog Scout. Scout stayed with Sylvia for 2 and 1/2 weeks. I felt completely comfortable while I was away and I didn’t worry because I knew Scout was in good hands. Sylvia did a meet and greet so that Scout would get to know her a bit. I could tell that Sylvia truly cared about my dog like one of her own. I will definitely book with Sylvia next time I take a trip and I highly recommend her.”
