Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lake Nona South
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lake Nona South
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I dedicate as much time as possible with my babies. We have so little time with them and we are all they have. I will always spoil and love my pets with everything I have. I work full time at a theme park but have organized my schedule to optimize my time home. I can also adapt and change schedule throughout the seasons. I have protected my home to keep dogs downstairs so there is a separation between the levels of the house. Their toys and spaces are sanitized especially when brining a new puppy home in summer 2025. I keep up with house care to combat the fur and love a cuddle puddle on our massive couch. All food is inaccessible and have options to let them play in areas around the house inside and out.
“Ingrid was amazing. She kept in close communication to ease my stress of leaving Louie somewhere new. She sent pictures during the stay. I will definitely book with Ingrid again as Louie seemed very well taken care of and happy with her and her pups.”
“Sarah and Richard were fantastic sitters for my dog. They made us feel welcome from the initial meet and greet and provided daily updates. It was such a relief to know my pupp was in good hands. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to book again on my next trip. 5 stars / A +”
“This family is awesome. Very loving and responsible Pet People. They went above and beyond to care for my little King. This family is the top of the Line when it comes to boarding your pet. They made my little King one of the family during his stay. I see in his eyes he will never forget them.”
“Awesome! He was so nice & sent me pic of the dog. I was super nervous my dog would be barking at him and having a hard time but he didn’t even bark at him and just left with him with no issues! Will 100% use again!”
“Troy was an excellent sitter and took great care of Murphy! I appreciated the daily updates and pictures and Murphy is already looking forward to her next stay.”
“Tippy had a great time with Amber and her family. Her dog Max is a really good dog and he gets along with other dogs. I’m so happy that I found Ambar. She really took care of my girl”
“Carly and her family were absolutely amazing while watching my very vocal senior dog, Gracie, for 21 days. From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in wonderful hands. They sent daily photos and updates, just the right amount of communication so I always felt informed without ever feeling overwhelmed. They handled her medication and any special needs with such care and attention. It was such a relief knowing Gracie was so well looked after and loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Carly and her family enough, truly exceptional care!”
“Highly recommended! 🙌🏻 She looked after my puppy with so much love, and she sent me videos constantly—giving me updates on what my dog was up to throughout the day. 🫶🏻 I would definitely leave her in her care again! 🤗”
“Thid is our third time leaving our puppy with Margarita. She is awesome and genuinely loves her job. I was able to FaceTime whenever I wanted and received periodic pictures. Margarita is fabulous and I will continue to utilize her services. I'm already booked for a week in September.”
“Tracy was awesome! She sent daily updates on how Piper was doing, including pictures, and I could tell Piper was having so much fun. I will definitely use Tracy again and highly recommend her!”
“Maria was great with my baby and he was really happy when i picked up she keeps me posted every day and very quick to repond I will recommend her to anyone that need her service. Thank you Maria.”
“Emiliano and Valeria are wonderful sitters! They are super responsive, send tons of pictures and my dogs are super happy and comfortable around them! They have a nice backyard were my dogs love to play, run around and sunbath. I will come back in the future!”
“I am so happy with the sitters that i have found through Rover. I am comfortable traveling now because I have Nathalia to care for Roxie. Grateful. Thank you Nathalia and Rover”
“There are no words to describe how thankful and happy we are to have found Esteffany. The way she cared and treated our dogs was beyond our expectations. She is so caring and loving and always sent many photos and videos so we could be at ease. Definitively would recommend and will book again.”
“Absolute amazing experience. Received so many updates and pictures from Jill. We truly knew our dog was in such good hands and was being cared for so well. Every picture we received you could see our dog was having a great time. The whole experience was so perfect. We would recommend Jill and James to anyone not able to take their dog with them. They will have such a great time! Communication was A+!”
“Michelle and her family took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. They gave him lots of love and sent us updates on him consistently. Thank you!”

About: I have been a life-long pet owner. I love hanging out with animals, getting to know their nature and offering them fun playtime and comfort. I am in freelance, so I make my own daily and weekly schedule most of the time. I am able to work around my other jobs to meet your pets when you need. After a calm greeting, I can easily follow any routine needed, whether that is taking a walk, playing with toys, or simply checking in on them. I always want to make sure they are receiving the care they need.

I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, so they get the best possible experience. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and fully dedicated to your pet’s well-being. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member.

Thanks Angelo for taking care of the baby boy!!”

“We recently adopted our cat a few months ago and we were very anxious about having to leave him for a week. And as new pet parents, we were very worried about finding someone who would take care of him well. But Anna was such an amazing pet-sitter and helped the process”
About: I have never had a cat, but I grew up with family and friends who do have. I have watched my family & friend’s cat. They are not as needed as dogs but they deserve just the same amount of love.
About: The trainer that I have been working under for the past 4 years has 3 cats, so I have become well versed in cat body language and behaviour. She has also fostered many kittens before, so I have experience working with any age of cat.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and during my Army career I’ve also cared for pets for family and friends. Those experiences have made me dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I always pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication if needed, walking safety, and any behavior or personality differences. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while also giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
“Janki did an amazing job. She was very attentive, and was great at reporting updates and sending pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals.”
“Very kind and attentive with our cats, you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She let us know every time she freshened their water and litter so we didn’t worry whether they had everything they needed.”
About: I’ve cared for my mom’s 10-year-old Pomeranian, which makes me great with senior pups. I’m patient, loving, and pay close attention to routines, comfort, and cuddles 🐶💛 I’m available for overnight stays, plus walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of cuddles from Thursday night through Sunday afternoon 🐶✨ I love making sure pets feel happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. Your pet will get VIP love all weekend long 💖🐾 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in both my home and my client’s home. I live in a spacious single-family house, and on Fridays and weekends I’m home by myself, so pets get full attention, close supervision, and lots of care 🐶✨ I live just 5 minutes from a dog park, which is perfect for safe walks, fresh air, and fun exercise (always based on your pet’s comfort and energy level). I follow all owner instructions closely — including feeding, potty breaks, routines, and any special care — to make sure pets feel secure, comfortable, and happy. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and peace of mind are always my top priority 💕🐾
About: Cats have a way of letting you know exactly what they want, and I’ve learned to listen. Living alongside cats for years taught me to respect their space while still building real trust. I know some cats want a lap to curl up on and some just want someone nearby who isn’t going to smother them. I’m good with both. I’ll keep their routine consistent, their litter clean, and their feeding on schedule. And if they decide they like me? Even better.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lake Nona South
“Emiliano and Valeria are professional, caring, and wonderful with Willow. I especially appreciate their excellent communication, the pictures and quick responses from day one.”
About: I have 18 years of experience caring for pets and truly love what I do. I previously worked at the PetSmart Hotel, where I handled boarding, playtime, and daily routines for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience as a pet groomer, so I’m comfortable with baths, brushing, and making pets feel their best. From energetic puppies to older, mellow dogs, I know how to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every animal like family and create a calm, fun, and positive environment they’ll enjoy coming back to. Pet care is my full-time job, so your furry friend will receive constant attention, love, and personalized care throughout the day. I’m available 7 days a week, including for overnight stays for boarding. Whether your pup needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe and happy. Your pet will never be left alone for long and will enjoy a calm, consistent, and loving home environment — day and night. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I live in a spacious apartment with a private patio, plus we have access to a secure, on-site dog park with fresh water available at all times, and a dog spa for relaxing baths when needed. Pets in my care are never left unsupervised for long, and I follow any feeding, walking, and playtime routines you provide. I always do slow, supervised introductions if there are other pets around, and I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and preferences. You’ll receive regular photo updates, and I’m always available for check-ins or quick messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Why Choose Me? • Safety First: With a background in nursing studies, I am naturally detail-oriented and vigilant about health. I keep a close eye on hydration and signs of heat exhaustion. • Professional & Punctual: My leadership experience means I value your time. I follow instructions to the letter and provide consistent, reliable service. • Aesthetic Updates: You’ll receive bright, high-quality photo updates of our adventures, so you can see exactly how much fun your best friend is having! I’m not just a dog walker; I’m a dedicated partner for your pup’s specific needs! My background in leadership and my personal passion for fitness mean I bring a level of discipline, stamina, and reliability that sets me apart in the Lake Nona community. For the High-Energy Athletes: If you have a husky, shepherd, or a young pup with energy to burn, I’m your go-to. My weight training background means I’m a confident and strong handler for powerful breeds that need a brisk, heart-pumping workout rather than just a slow stroll. I have the physical stamina to keep up with the most active dogs. For the Calm & Senior Companions: I also have a huge soft spot for the 'slow-moseyers' and senior dogs. I understand that for many pups, a walk is more about the 'sniff-and-see' than the speed. I am incredibly patient with calmer dogs who need a gentle pace, frequent shade breaks (especially in this Florida heat), and a little extra time to explore their surroundings at their own comfort level. Whether your dog needs a 5K run or a 5-minute sniff around the block, I’m here to make it the best part of their day I am currently a pre-nursing student therefore when I am not studying, I am able to care for your furry friends Monday Mornings, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday throughout the day. I am a HUGE doggy lover , I believe dogs are a man’s best friend and deserve the upmost love and attention. I personally have an English bulldog named Capone, he is 5 years old and I make sure when I am not spoiling him I am keeping track of his health, and making sure he is happy in his home. Every dog is and will be treated like family to me. I will take care of your furry friend like I care for my mom, sister, and partner.
“My two dogs were so happy at Esteffany’s place. She and her husband are very nice, and Esteffany truly loves dogs. She sent so many pictures and videos and they had a ball with her family. She sent them home with the cutest scarves. The dogs will definitely be back. Thank You Esteffany!”
“Margarita is the best I have no words in how to thank her I never in my life seen somebody so passionate and carrying with animals. Five stars is nothing she needs a 50!!”
“Nathalia is SO AMAZING with our Bella! She takes pictures and videos throughout her stay. She walks her, plays with her, and always lets us know how she’s doing! Don’t hesitate to book with her she’s AMAZING & cares about your dog!”
“Tyler and Eddy took such great care of Aspen. And made me feel so comfortable to leave her. She’s sleeping soundly after all the fun she had playing with Kona. And we will definitely use them again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and recently started doing boarding full time from home. I have experience with puppies, high energy dogs, senior dogs, anxious dogs, and multi dog households. My own Golden Retriever, Chloe, is very social and used to having guests around. Dogs here are treated like family with lots of playtime, outdoor access, personalized care, and regular photo updates for parents. I do pet care full time, so your dog will rarely be left alone. My schedule is very flexible and built around the dogs staying with me. I’m available for boarding and daycare, including extended stays and last minute bookings when possible. Dogs get lots of outdoor time, playtime, cuddles, and regular updates throughout the day. Dogs here are free roaming and treated like family. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door, so they can go in and out whenever they want depending on how they feel, whether they want to relax in the AC, sunbathe outside, play, or nap. I don’t keep dogs confined to one area. I adapt to each dog’s routine, energy level, sleeping habits, and feeding schedule. My Golden Retriever, Chloe, is very friendly and used to having dog guests around. I also send regular photo and video updates throughout the stay.
“Carly was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Sterling! From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, attentive, and experienced she is. She kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Sterling was having a great time and was in excellent hands. When we got home, Sterling was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—always the best sign. Carly went above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We will 100% be booking with Carly again and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“We had the best experience for our puppies! We were visiting from Georgia and decided to pit stop for the day at Magic Kingdom! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppies! We will definitely use again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Raquel eased my mind because my princess hasn’t been away from us. She treated Maey as if it was her own princess. She send me videos and photos throughout the day and I could see how much fun she was having and she was happy. I’ll be using Raquel for an upcoming overnight stay but I am at ease. My baby is in good hands and in a loving environment. Raquel deserves 10 stars. Top of the line. Thank you Raquel.”
“While visiting Orlando we needed a sitter for our 12 month GS and found this amazing couple on Rover. They replied within minutes and have excellent reviews. I agree with everyone else they are by far the greatest care takers. Received multiple photos of my baby's day and her playing w her friends. When I picked up my Furr baby...she had a Christmas bandana and smelled amazingly! I highly recommend this wonderful couple.”
About: We are a young, loving couple with a passion for caring for pets. My husband grew up with dogs and cats, while I always dreamed of having a dog and finally got my first pup 10 years ago. Now, our family includes Moose, our sweet toy poodle, and three adorable guinea pigs. We prioritize the health and well-being of our pets. My husband even built a large custom cage to give our guinea pigs plenty of space and comfort. Moose, who completed three obedience classes as a puppy, is gentle, loving, and well-behaved. We both work from home, so we spend a lot of time with our pets and have a lot of experience administering oral medication and caring for dogs with special needs. After moving from Pennsylvania to Florida three months ago, Moose has missed his old friends, so we’re excited to help him make new ones. Our neighborhood features a nice dog park, walking trails, and sidewalks, and we also have a small fenced yard for safe outdoor play. We’ll pamper your pup just as we do with our own pets. We can’t wait to meet you, and Moose is ready to make new friends! We both work from home, but we do have meetings during the day. Therefore, we prefer drop-off and pick-up times to be outside of regular work hours. Our schedules are generally flexible, we just appreciate a little heads-up in advance! To ensure safety, we have dog gates, a fenced yard, and multiple home cameras to monitor the pets if we need to step out briefly. We typically provide our dog with potty breaks every 4 hours and take him on daily walks. Additionally, we ask clients to fill out a short form before daycare or boarding so we can tailor our care to their pet’s routine.
“Michele was the perfect dog sitter for my Flynn. We dropped Flynn off so we could spend the day at the beach, so we weren't exactly sure what time we would be back. She was very understanding and had great communication with us the whole day. I could tell Flynn had a great time with Michele and her pup, and we will deficiently reach out to her next time!”
About: Hi! I’m a proud dog dad to my 1.5-year-old Havanese, Kinza. Raising her has taught me how much consistency, structure, and gentle attention dogs need to truly thrive. I understand puppy energy, daily routines, potty schedules, safe socialization, and the importance of calm leadership. Kinza is friendly, well-socialized, and used to being around other dogs in a respectful way. Your dog won’t just be “watched” — they’ll be cared for the way I care for my own. What you can expect: • Structured walks and playtime • Safe, supervised interactions • Clean, calm home environment • Regular photo and video updates • Clear communication and reliability I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, puppies, and dogs who benefit from patient, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone responsible, calm, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, I’d love to connect. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My own dog is on a structured routine and goes outside every 4 hours for potty breaks, walks, and fresh air — and any dog staying with me would follow a similar, reliable schedule. Because I’m home during the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I can maintain feeding, medication, or crate routines as needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, clean, and structured home environment. Dogs are always supervised during interactions, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m very routine-oriented — regular potty breaks every 4 hours, consistent feeding schedules, and clear boundaries help dogs feel secure. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them or provide separation as needed. I communicate proactively and provide photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own — with patience, structure, and genuine affection.
“Jennifer was great with Sunny! She sent me picture and video updates throughout the day. Sunny had the best time with her pups. He is very energetic but she handled him well.”
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of puppies since i was little, I’ve also breed a couple puppies of my own. I love and adore dogs and think there should be more trusted and friendly places for a dog to be taken care of. We all know the stress of leaving our pups somewhere and being stressed and uncomfortable about what could be going on. I also work for a voluntary agency that rescues and foster dogs called AREPA If you book with me. your dog is assured a safe and comfortable place, we’ve had doggy’s visit us that don’t wanna leave after! your pup will be loved and cared for like our own. I do have dogs of my own 2 small beagles they are supper friendly with any other breed and size of dog. Not sure if you feel comfortable? your dogs needs will be accommodated for no matter what, our job is to keep your dog safe and sound. You tell us what you need and want and we will put our part. Since i have been around dogs ever since i was little I do have quite a bit of knowledge on dealing with many different dogs and any needs they could have, also including a lot of patience always no matter the situation. Come visit us you won’t regret! I am home all day so your dog will get a lot of attention and have lots of fun. i have a gated fence they would love to play in with my pups! My house is very spacious and has a big back yard (fenced) so they will get a lot of potty break and attention. We all love dogs!
“Janki was great for my dog Sapphire’s day care! She sent lots of updates during the day and I could tell she got a lot of energy out by how sleepy she was! 😊 Thank you Janki!”

About: When I had Frenchy, I learned from YouTube to train my puppy myself. Friends and my family trust me for taking care of their pet not only dogs but also cats, birds, snakes, sugar gliders and mouse. I just moved to the U.S. this year. I'm currently a housewife and searching for a job, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I start by meeting you and your pet to learn their routine and personality. I make sure to follow your exact feeding and exercise schedule so your pet feels at home. To build trust, I will send you plenty of photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I dedicate as much time as possible with my babies. We have so little time with them and we are all they have.

“Tanisha was friendly and sweet to my dog. She was puntual and flexible with my schedule. I definitely recommend her, she followed all my instructions and took my dog for long walk. My dog quickly warmed up to her.”
“It’s been such a relief to have Lindsey to help take Rudy on a walk while I’m in the office. She’s a great communicator and gives very detailed information when she’s done. Thanks!”

You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and fully dedicated to your pet’s well-being. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’ve always been around animals. I plan my days so I have plenty of time for feeding, playtime, and attention, and I stay flexible for different needs. Spending time with pets is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I make each visit something your pet looks forward to! Whether it’s a drop-in or a walk, I stick to their routine while adding plenty of love, playtime, belly rubs, and treats (if allowed). I pay attention to their mood and energy so they feel comfortable and cared for every time. My goal is to keep them happy, relaxed, and feeling like they’re with someone they trust
“It’s my second experience with Rover and by far the best one! Melissa was great! My gradma(who doesn’t speak English) was home let me know she was very nice, friend and Piper was very happy with her! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have a 17 year old lady, she is a chihuahua mix ! She is blind and deaf and requires a lot of attention. I have learned so much about caring for senior dogs with her. My schedule is flexible, so I’m usually able to work with clients on different days, times, and care arrangements. I’m always happy to communicate and find an option that works well for everyone. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed and comfortable in a familiar space. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks and playtime. Whether your dog wants to play, hang out, or just enjoy some extra love and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. At this time I'm not able to provide boarding or daycare in my home.
“We booked Kiara for two dog walks while we had family in town and would be away all day. She was amazing. She did a meet and greet so we were comfortable and seeing how she interacted with the dogs reassured me they’d be fine. They’re my babies so I always worry and they’re a bit older so require some patience. We then booked her again very last minute and she was able to help us out even with an hours notice. She sends so many pictures and the dogs were pooped after. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: With over 4 years of professional dog handling/training experience, I aim to keep your furry friend safe and happy! Before we get to my experience, I just want to mention that I am wheelchair bound, so I prefer to stick to walking smaller dogs unless they are well-mannered on a leash! The size of animal is not a concern if a walk is not a requirement! For drop ins, it would require a mostly accessible entrance into the home. I can do a single small step, but otherwise zero-entry would be the most ideal! I have worked alongside a dog trainer who also offers boarding services for the past 4 years, I have volunteered for many animal shelters, including Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando for 2 years, I have been training my own dogs for the past 14 years, including training my current service dog, and I have previously shadowed veterinarians in a clinic environment. I absolutely love both dogs and cats, and I can assure you that they will be in great hands! I truly can’t wait to get in touch with you and meet your fur baby!! I currently work a part-time job, but often get scheduled full-time hours. I usually work between the hours of 8 and 6:30, so I can do night checks on my work days. My guaranteed days off are Monday and Tuesday, and I could complete as many drop ins as needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy! I want to make sure that your baby stays comfortable, especially with a stranger coming into the home. I am very well versed on animal behaviour and body language, so I will never rush or force an interaction. I plan to follow the same schedule that you would as an owner, so that their schedule remains the same, even without a family member present. I will also make sure that the pet parents are staying updated with photos and messages throughout the day to maintain trust and communication!
“Amazing dog walker! She has helped me last minute 2 times already and I feel fully confident letting her in my house and completing the “task/walk”. She knows how to deal with hyper dogs and doesn’t get overwhelmed by it.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and during my Army career I’ve also cared for pets for family and friends. Those experiences have made me dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I always pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication if needed, walking safety, and any behavior or personality differences. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while also giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for my mom’s 10-year-old Pomeranian, which makes me great with senior pups. I’m patient, loving, and pay close attention to routines, comfort, and cuddles 🐶💛 I’m available for overnight stays, plus walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of cuddles from Thursday night through Sunday afternoon 🐶✨ I love making sure pets feel happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog dad to my 1.5-year-old Havanese, Kinza. Raising her has taught me how much consistency, structure, and gentle attention dogs need to truly thrive. I understand puppy energy, daily routines, potty schedules, safe socialization, and the importance of calm leadership. Kinza is friendly, well-socialized, and used to being around other dogs in a respectful way. Your dog won’t just be “watched” — they’ll be cared for the way I care for my own. What you can expect: • Structured walks and playtime • Safe, supervised interactions • Clean, calm home environment • Regular photo and video updates • Clear communication and reliability I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, puppies, and dogs who benefit from patient, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone responsible, calm, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, I’d love to connect. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My own dog is on a structured routine and goes outside every 4 hours for potty breaks, walks, and fresh air — and any dog staying with me would follow a similar, reliable schedule. Because I’m home during the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I can maintain feeding, medication, or crate routines as needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, clean, and structured home environment. Dogs are always supervised during interactions, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m very routine-oriented — regular potty breaks every 4 hours, consistent feeding schedules, and clear boundaries help dogs feel secure. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them or provide separation as needed. I communicate proactively and provide photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own — with patience, structure, and genuine affection.
“Joella was great! She did a meet & greet with us, showed up on time each day, kept in communication with us and took her time with our fur baby who can be skittish until he gets to know a new person. Would recommend and use her again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I dedicate as much time as possible with my babies. We have so little time with them and we are all they have. I will always spoil and love my pets with everything I have. I work full time at a theme park but have organized my schedule to optimize my time home. I can also adapt and change schedule throughout the seasons. I have protected my home to keep dogs downstairs so there is a separation between the levels of the house. Their toys and spaces are sanitized especially when brining a new puppy home in summer 2025. I keep up with house care to combat the fur and love a cuddle puddle on our massive couch. All food is inaccessible and have options to let them play in areas around the house inside and out.
“Ingrid was amazing. She kept in close communication to ease my stress of leaving Louie somewhere new. She sent pictures during the stay. I will definitely book with Ingrid again as Louie seemed very well taken care of and happy with her and her pups.”
“Kaye and family gave our girl Gracie all the love and attention she needed. They have a very large fenced in backyard as well. Kaye will be our go-to sitter for any future sitting needs.”
“This was my very first experience on Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sweet boy. Jen and her husband treated Kobe like their own and kept me updated daily. I know Kobe is going to miss Jen and her husband and I’m so thankful to them both for going above and beyond him. 1000% recommend.”
“Awesome! He was so nice & sent me pic of the dog. I was super nervous my dog would be barking at him and having a hard time but he didn’t even bark at him and just left with him with no issues! Will 100% use again!”
“Amanda and Naveen were wonderful. They took great care of Frank whole I was out of town. They were very flexible and easy with drop off and pick up. And their dog Kubrick was a perfect play companion.”
“Troy was an excellent sitter and took great care of Murphy! I appreciated the daily updates and pictures and Murphy is already looking forward to her next stay.”
“Tippy had a great time with Amber and her family. Her dog Max is a really good dog and he gets along with other dogs. I’m so happy that I found Ambar. She really took care of my girl”
“Carly and her family were absolutely amazing while watching my very vocal senior dog, Gracie, for 21 days. From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in wonderful hands. They sent daily photos and updates, just the right amount of communication so I always felt informed without ever feeling overwhelmed. They handled her medication and any special needs with such care and attention. It was such a relief knowing Gracie was so well looked after and loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Carly and her family enough, truly exceptional care!”
“Highly recommended! 🙌🏻 She looked after my puppy with so much love, and she sent me videos constantly—giving me updates on what my dog was up to throughout the day. 🫶🏻 I would definitely leave her in her care again! 🤗”
“Erin was great! She sent me multiple updates throughout the day and through Spirits entire stay. She was also very accommodating to Spirits needs. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs and will book again for any future needs.”
“Janice was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Eevie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. She even offered to do a meet and greet ahead of time to answer all of our questions and give Eevie a chance to get comfortable with her and her husband, which meant so much to us. Janice was incredibly communicative and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. She took Eevie on walks, gave her plenty of love and attention, and it really showed. When we picked Eevie up, she was so happy and even gave Janice goodbye kisses — which says everything about how well she was cared for! We are beyond grateful for the care Janice provided and will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Kimberly was able to watch my dog last minute and really saved me from missing my sisters graduation. She sent me pictures daily with updates and even gave me grace when my travel plans totally went to trash. She was awesome and i will ne using her again as I am a frequent traveler ❤️❤️❤️”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with Liu and Su. They were both polite. They sent me pictures of my girl and I could tell from the pictures (and video) that she was happy. That made me feel very relieved. In the past, she has been very down and it was evident in her face. This was not the case during this visit with Liu and Su! I would definitely use them again.”
“We left our dog with Nathaniel for more than two weeks and he took great care of him! He sent us updates and took care of him like his own. I would absolutely use Nathaniel for any future needs.”
“I was so pleased with Anthony as our pet sitter! He definitely went above and beyond for our little guy making sure he got lots of great walks! He was also a great communicator and gave lots of updates and pictures of our boy. Definitely recommend him and can’t wait to use him again on our next getaway.”
“Ariana is great! I don’t have to worry, I know my dog is well taken care of. She sends a lot of photos of my girl having fun. I’m glad she is warming up and coming out of her shell!”
