About: I grew up caring for multiple large dogs and cats simultaneously. One of the two labs required extra care as he lost a rear limb when he was a puppy. I currently am blessed with a beautiful domestic long hair cat named Misty that has extra grooming needs and requires extensive daily brushing. My professional lifestyle allows me plenty of available time to meet the needs of any unique or variable schedules for both my own and your pets sitting and walking needs. I’m an experienced dog walker and actively engage with animals to keep their attention and gain their trust. For cats I groom and brush daily as well as reinforce positive behavior through praise training.
“Linda was Amazing!!!! Her communication was outstanding and her care and love for my dogs was everything that I hoped for. I am so happy to have found such a wonderful, loving, caring, understanding dog sitter.”

“Savannah took wonderful care of my shy pup! Daily updates and photos shared and very communicative as well! Will be rebooking for any further boarding needs!”
“This was our rescue dog Bella’s first overnight stay with a sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jennifer was absolutely wonderful—she kept us updated with photos and made sure Bella felt safe, loved, and right at home.”
“Gandalf had an amazing time with Brooke! She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos. It was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone and she made me feel at ease. If I ever have to board my cat again, I’ll definitely be using this app with Brooke. She was just awesome through the whole experience.”
“Tanya did a phenomenal job watching our dogs. By the end of the five days, she completely knew their personalities, likes, dislikes etc. Tanya and her daughter were like “dog whisperers.” Tanya sent us daily photos and kept us updated. This is the first time ever that they did I not seem excited to come home to us which told us that they were very happy with Tanya. We will definitely use her again!😊”
“I left my dog Max with Ana F from July 3 to 5 in Orlando and the experience was excellent. Max behaved very well during his stay, and Ana made sure to always keep me informed by sending photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I loved that the care was in his house with patio, which gave Max enough space to play and relax. Without a doubt I give it 5 stars and I totally recommend it to take care of your pet.”
“Our dog Aiyla had the best time at Jennifer’s house! My dog Aiyla and their dog Bella got along so well. Jennifer sent daily updates and pictures which we loved. Our vacation was so much more relaxing knowing our baby girl was safe and happy!”
“Jamie is just wonderful and Buster is like family to her. We are so fortunate to have someone so caring to take care of Buster when we are away. He feels right at home at Jamie’s!”
“Natasha was great! Our 2 kitties can home, relaxed and not stressed at all which says a lot for them. She was extremely easy to work with and really helped us in a last minute pinch. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again. 💕🐾🐾💕”
“Andrea was a God send! My husband and I did and 8 day roadtrip through yellowstone and Grand Teton. She and her husband kept our maltipoo Joon. Joon made friends with their 2 dogs and had the best time playing the entire time. Andrea sent updates and pictures everyday and I felt so relieved to know she was in such good hands. We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Honestly, absolutely amazing experience with these two! Our girl has anxiety and Ginny and Tom went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Denys has taken care of my dogs, Remi and Roie, multiple times now and I can’t say enough good things about their care. This time, they boarded my pups for 20 days during the busy Christmas season, and as always, they went above and beyond. Not only did they keep me updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, but they also gave them a shower before bringing them back home! Denys even played relaxing music to help keep my dogs calm during fireworks, which shows just how thoughtful and attentive they are. I never worry when my dogs are with them because I know they’re in the best hands. Thank you, Denys, for being amazing!”
“Terrie is wonderful! Our dog Libby stayed with Terrie and her husband for the first time and had a great stay. Libby is nervous in new situations but Terrie made an extra effort to put her at ease. We appreciated the pictures and messages keeping us informed during her stay. We were happy to see the results of Terrie's patience - Libby having fun with the other dogs. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Carilee was great and very communicative. She not only sent pictures, but provided updates on how our dog, Max, was settling in his new environment. Max had a great time with Carilee and her 2 boys. We will definitely use Carilee again!”
“I can't say enough good things about Troy and Melanie. This was the first time in my 6 year old dog's life that I have left him anywhere. He has to eat a special diet. Troy and Melanie took great care of him and sent me pictures everyday. He got daily walks and lots of attention. Toby was a happy dog. I would recommend these folks to anyone needing dog care in the Orlando area.”
“We had a family fun day @ Universal Studios and lucky enough to find Kymry on Rover. She took amazing care of our little Yorkie for an overnight stay. Sending us pics and updates often via text while we were at the park. Friendly personality and very caring, treating our puppy just like her own. We liked that our puppy had other small bread dogs to run around, play and take walks with. This is perfect for our little guy who has an abundance of energy at times. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Will definitely use Kymry again to watch our little Yorkie.”

“Brooke es una excelente cuidadora, dejé mi gata con ella por unos fue muy amable enviándome más de dos veces al día fotos de mi gata y muchas veces la tenía cargada dándole cariño, aprecio mucho su trabajo lo hace súper bien, la recomiendo 100% siempre dejando saber hasta cuando comía, definitivamente la ocuparía nuevamente cuando la necesite. Muchas gracias por todo Brooke de ♥️”
“Lily was the absolute best!! Such a a stress free experience when traveling and leaving our two kitty girls at home to be looked after. Will definitely be using her services for the future!”
“Natalie did an awesome job with my cats! During her introductory visit she walked through my care process and asked clarifying questions on instructions, she shared some background about her work with animals, and she engaged with my cats in a respectful manner. I asked her to keep an eye out for certain things and she made sure to mention them in her visit notes. She went above and beyond in her care, doing things for my cats comfortability and safety without me having to ask and was very amenable to feedback. Through her actions she showed she really cared about my cats and their well being. I really couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of them. I will be booking her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Our cats were so well taken care of! We looked forward to our daily updates and were at ease knowing they were safe and looked after. Even our scaredy-cat made a new friend while we were away!”
“Cali took such amazing care of our two babies. She was thorough and provided us with multiple updates which was very reassuring. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!! <3”
“Once again I booked Hailey to Cat Sit for me and again she exceeded my expectations! She is so reliable and spends quality time with Zelda. I travel frequently and this was the 16th trip I've had Hailey come in to my home to check on my precious cat in the past two years. That obviously says that I trust her and value her to keep asking her to come back! I highly recommend Hailey as a Rover sitter!”
“Kaia was professional and a gentle, kind presence for my cat while I was away. LOVED her drop in visits and photos she sent; will definitely rebook in the future. THANK YOU!!!!”
“Jenn is AMAZING! Our cat called FISH, is very finicky on food, water and people. Jenn was able to get Fish to trust her in a short time. Jenn’s communication with us while we were away for a full week - was incredible! Jenn understood our concerns of Fish, and addressed them in every conversation. We were able to enjoy our time away, knowing Fish was in good, caring hands. Thank you so much Jenn💖”
“Akemi did such an amazing job taking care of my little buddy, Huey. For starters, she was available on very short notice, and on a holiday, no less. But beyond being accommodating, what truly impressed me the most was the degree to which I could almost tangibly feel that she cared for not only the well being, but also the happiness of my little guy. She even shared one of her own available toys with him. Her check-ins were regular, on time and she always provided great updates with plenty of pictures and overall was just a total pleasure. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s amazing. Thank you, Akemi!”
“We can’t recommend Cristina enough! She’s watched our Aussie, Logan, a few times now and has gone above and beyond every single time. From long walks and runs to sending us constant photo updates, she truly treats him like her own. Logan is a high-energy working breed, and Cristina knows exactly how to keep him happy and mentally stimulated — we can always tell how content he is when we get back home. She’s also incredibly responsible with our home, always leaving it spotless and even taking small thoughtful steps like bringing in our garbage cans. Her communication is amazing, she checks in often and keeps us updated with fun photos and videos (Logan’s chaotic, happy expressions are now a running joke between us 😆). We feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care, and Logan absolutely adores her and her Aussie, Lorde. If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and genuinely great with dogs, Cristina is the one.”
“Julia is the best house sitter and we highly recommend. She was prompt and understood that we were outside, enjoying ourselves away from the constant need of technology. The cats were happy 😁”
“Erica took wonderful care of our fur babies, and did a great job communicating with us the whole time we were out of town. It gave us total peace of mind.”
About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and taking care of family/friend's pets over the years.I am a reliable, caring, communicative, and punctual pet sitter that you can trust! I currently take care of my boyfriend's 14 yr old dog named Scarlett, we walk every evening and spend a lot of quality time together especially on my days off. I like to show pets love by giving them a good balance of affection, exercise, and fun.... and I hope I can help do that for yours! I ensure that my pets are fed, hydrated, and walked throughout the day. I love to play with them and their toys so that they feel happy and satisfied.
“Skye took such great care of my pitbull Kilo! She was attentive, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the visit. Kilo seemed to really enjoy his time with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. :)”
“Natalie was the best! She was very responsive and took such great care of our cats while we were away. We would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future ☺️”
“Holland is attentive and sweet! She took great care of my babies and was communicative and went above and beyond. She took her time and socialized with my babies as they are very social. I definitely recommend her services!”
“I’ve used Adriana two times now, and will continue to use her in the future! She did a great job taking care of my beloved kitties and my apartment, she is very conscientious. (And I am very particular!) Thank you so much!”
“Thank you for taking care of my kittens and even cleaning their food bowls! Very sweet sitter, took my booking very last minute, and sent me updates frequently. I recommend!”

“This is our first time using Rover. We were out of town and needed someone to take care of our fur-baby for a day due that he had an emergency surgery. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne. Our fur-baby doesn’t stay just with anyone. He loved Lee-Anne from the time he arrived. That kept me at ease and happy. Lee-Anne asked us if it was ok to send us texts with updates. I told her that I truly appreciate asking becuase we wanted updates. Lee-Anne send us tons of videos and pictures. Lee-Anne followed our furbaby’s medicines and feeding instructions. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne services and highly recommend her. We will be using Lee-Anne when he come back to the Orlando area. Thank you for taking great care of our fur-baby. Our fur-baby was very happy.”

“Everything you could ever hope for! They were so kind, sweet, and understanding. Our GSD puppy had a blast with Sailor. It’s hard for us to entrust our baby to other people but as soon as we met the three of them our puppy and us knew it was going to be perfect. 100/10 without a doubt”
“Patricia was great and she made Molly feel at home. She kept us up to date on how she was and took very good care of her. It was our first time using Rover and she made the first time very easy.

Maria was available immediately and she was so sweet, had a great house, yard, and son to help our dog feel better about staying in a new place. She also sent lots of pics and kept in touch so we wouldn’t have to worry.??”
“Absolutely amazing!! She sent tons of photos and videos of my little one throughout the day. You could tell that he was just getting showered in attention and love. She even took him on a walk throughout the day and confirmed that he ate all of his dinner. On top of that she was available last minute!! My prior sitter had something come up and I found Savannah with just a couple hours before I had to leave. It's awesome that she was such a great sitter and was able to work with us for a last minute all day doggy day care. I couldn't recommend her more. 🙂”

She sent pics and videos throughout day and also extras when I checked on Nick because I “missed him” lol It was my first time ever leaving him with someone and she made me not worry. Nicholas came home his happy self and didn’t seem to miss me at all! 😂 We’ll definitely be asking for Kristie to watch him again while we’re in town. 10 of 10 rating!!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around dogs my whole life! Growing up, my family had three dogs and we also regularly fostered, so I’ve been around all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and routines from a young age. Now, I pet sit frequently! I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! Whether it’s long walks, throwing a ball, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I always want pets to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine! I’m also very reliable and communicative, and I understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, check ins, etc! I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine/ I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away! I’m very patient and attentive, and I know every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m also happy to send photo updates throughout the day!
“Ms. Maria was awesome with King doesn't take to people easily. She made me feel comfortable with leaving him with her. She sent pictures to show that he was safe. Due to my daughter going to college closer to her I will be reaching out to her again really soon. Thank you so very much Ms. Maria From the Garrett's”
“Cristal was so amazing. She took care of my standard poodle, Wiles. She let him play in their big backyard. She sent updated videos and pictures. I came from out of town to visit family and wanted to have a place for him to stay all day. She took such good care of Wiles that I did not worry at all while I was with my family all day. Wiles had the best time and kept giving her hugs when he had to leave. I would highly recommend Cristal to keep your dog. I give her five stars. She was fantastic and now when I come to visit my family, I will have her keep Wiles again.”
“We Absolutely love leaving Reese with Brandon and Brittany. They take such good care of him. As soon as we pull into their driveway, Reese starts whining to get out of the car and drags me to their front door to get into their home. He loves spending time with them and their family.”

“I highly recommend Mark. He is amazing with my not-so-easy to walk fur baby. He gave great feedback and made me feel comfortable that my dog was in the best care. I loved all the pictures he sent. Also, this is the first time I used Rover and Mark was very knowledgeable and helped me through the process.”
“We had a great experience with Julia. She communicated well, was reliable and kind. She was great with our pup and gave her the care we needed. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
“We came to Florida on vacation and brought our dogs with us. We had to change hotels on our way down from Virginia and Kacie was very accommodating even though it meant a longer commute for her. She came during the day to walk our dogs while we were in theme parks. She was great with communication and flexible as we changed our time of the late afternoon walk. She sent pictures and let us know how the dogs were doing. It was an awesome feeling to know our dogs were being taken care of while we were out during the day. I highly recommend Kacie for regular walks or if you are on vacation in the area! Thank you Kacie for your dog walking services!”
“Naya was wonderful with our fur baby Milo. She took him & her doggo to the park & shared a lot of videos & photos. She also gave us a printed photo of Milo. We really appreciated her care & time. Milo came back happy & tired.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with senior and special-needs dogs, shaped by caring for my own senior pup who requires dietary and lifestyle adjustments. I spent three years working in a veterinary office, giving me minor medical training and confidence with medications and health monitoring. I come from a lifelong family of animal lovers, work from home, and have a large, secure yard—so your pet receives knowledgeable, attentive, and loving care in a calm environment. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care. I’m able to provide consistent feeding, playtime, litter maintenance, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s part of my everyday life. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets receive a calm environment, regular feeding, playtime, enrichment, and rest, along with supervision throughout the day since I work from home. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their familiar schedule, providing attentive care, administering medications if needed, and keeping their space clean and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and individualized care based on each pet’s needs and personality.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.
“Dwight is remarkable! He treated my pup Pronto as if he was his very own. They had the best walks and had so much fun. I looked forward to receiving Pronto's report card everyday. The pictures were also star quality. Communication with Dwight was also a breeze. I can't recommended him enough. Thanks a ton!”
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, so taking care of pets has always been second nature to me. We always had three cats and a dog at home, so I'm used to everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, cuddles, and cleaning up the occasional mess. I've also pet sat for friends' dogs while they were away, making sure they stayed on their normal routine and got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I know every pet is different, and I always try to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are gone. Something really special for me is helping my mom care for foster puppy litters. I got to help with feeding, cleaning, socializing, and giving lots of love to puppies while they waited to find their forever homes. It definitely taught me patience and how much care goes into looking after younger dogs. I've also volunteered walking dogs at animal shelters, which gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else because they're family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind with regular updates and lots of pictures along the way. I currently work full-time four days a week, which gives me a consistent schedule. On my workdays, I'm available for morning and evening walks, drop-in visits, and feedings before and after work. My days off are typically Tuesday through Thursday, so I have much more flexibility for multiple walks, drop-in visits, extended playtime, or spending extra time with your pets throughout the day. No matter what day it is, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you're away. I'm also happy to work with your pet's normal routine whenever possible! I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to stick to it so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or staying in your home, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and, of course, lots of love. I'll always follow your instructions for feeding, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special care your pet requires. I also believe communication is really important, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you're away. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, locking up securely, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable until you return. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free experience.

I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”

We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“This was my first time ever using a dog sitter, and Eric exceeded every expectation. From the start, he was welcoming, professional, and genuinely great with my dog, Chyna. She took to him quickly, and when I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I could tell she enjoyed her time with him, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Eric made this entire experience smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommended!”
“We are snowbirds from Canada. Had to fly back home on a short notice due to family emergency. Also it was first time for us to leave our dog with someone outside our family. Stella was outstanding in communicating and accommodating our request. Stella privided us with daily updates and pictures. Week later we found our pet in great shape and happy. We will use Stella service again next time we have a need”
“My dog was well cared for, and I was given regular updates and pictures of him during his stay. I appreciated the great communication. I think they did an excellent job taking care of him.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care my dog Blue received! He stayed for a full week and had the best time, he got to play with other dogs, and it was clear he was having so much fun. I got daily updates (which I really appreciated!) and could tell he was in such good hands the whole time. She truly treated him like her own, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing. I was so scared to leave my babies with a stranger but she assured me they would be fine. Hoping she can be our permanent sitter for the future since she is only 5min away.”
“Wilfredo is such a great dog sitter; he took good care of our dog. Additionally, it sends pictures and videos during pet sitting. I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Wilfredo, for such an amazing job.”
“Cristal was great! She sent pictures and videos of Frank for the whole stay and was very responsive to messages, will be booking her again for any future vacations”
“Boarding with Becky has been awesome! She provides multiple photos a day and has a wonderful indoor and outdoor set up for dogs of all sizes. I highly recommend her for those in need of a boarder or even doggy daycare!”
“5/5 Stars! Kallee was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Koda. They were incredibly reliable, sent great updates, and we came home to a very happy, relaxed pup. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“I am so grateful to have found Kevin! I was starting to have some minor behavior issues with my dog and after meeting probably 6 other sitters, I felt confident in Kevin's ability to not only care for her but help correct her behavior and he really did an awesome job!! The reassurance and updates he gave me were priceless and I'm so happy to finally have a place where I feel safe boarding my second child! We will definitely book with Kevin for as long as he'll have us!”
“Justin was great. He came in the clutch when my girlfriend and I needed a last minute sitter for our dog. Justin was great with communication and sent updates daily. My boy looks like he had a great time! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using him again.”
“Veronica was AMAZING with my two dogs when I needed to board them for a few days. She communicated every day with feedback regarding their overall well being, playtime, eating habits, and mood. And she included pictures as well. She treated my dogs like family and gave them a lot of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend her!”
