“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.”
“Carly is the best! Great communication and I loved getting daily updates with lots of pictures. I know my dog had the best time. I would highly recommend Carly and will be using her again!”
“Michelle was very kind and communicative throughout Edward’s stay. He had some problems with a puppy at her house and she handled it perfectly and made me feel comfortable about the situation.”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!”
“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!”
“Second time watching our pup and we love her! Get lots of updates and we see our dog isn't just cared for, but they actually enjoy having her around. Highly recommend”
“Can’t say enough good things about Douglas. He’s so accommodating and thoughtful. Our dog is a bit of a diva and Douglas was patient and understanding. I received regular updates and excellent progress reports. We love this guy!”
“Naya was very good! She was communicative, very responsive, sent us pictures, and was flexible with our schedule. She also checked for our vaccine records for Ruby which made me feel safe that she does it for other dogs that she cares for. Most important, our dog had a great time!”
“Jennifer was great with my dog, Ginger and communicating with me on how she was doing while I was away on travel. I would definitely book again and recommend her!”
About: I am a local school teacher with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve always been an animal lover and have had a variety of pets including dogs, cats, snakes, bearded dragons, and leopard geckos. Up until two year’s ago, I’ve always had at least one dog in my home and am very familiar with senior dog care, including administering any medications needed. Coming home to a dog is one of the BEST feelings and I’ve been missing it since my dog passed. Rest assured, your dog will get so much LOVE, SNUGGLES, PLAYTIME, and PETS during their stay. For years, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, frequently managing long-term house sits and care routines that last multiple weeks at a time. Your furry family member will be in safe, responsible, and highly reliable hands. I have a 6 year old who is familiar with big dogs and loves to join in the fun and responsibility of taking care of a fur baby. He LOVES to snuggle just as much as I do! We have a large fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and dog park just down the street. My teaching schedule is a massive perk for your pet! Because my school day wraps up early, I am home by mid-afternoon and fully available for the rest of the day. My routine allows me to provide consistent, structured care, including early evening walks, plenty of playtime, and endless couch cuddles. As an educator, I naturally bring patience, clear communication, and a calm environment to my pet sitting. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or just a warm lap to snooze on while I prep lessons, I tailor my care to their specific routine. I look forward to giving your pet a fun, safe, and stress-free stay! As a school teacher, my life runs on a highly structured, predictable schedule, which is perfect for pets! Because my school day starts and ends early, your pet will enjoy a consistent routine every single day. My mornings begin early, allowing plenty of time for a morning potty break or short walk before I head to school. I am out of the house during standard school hours, but because teachers get out earlier than standard corporate employees, I am back home by mid-afternoon around 3:30 pm. Once I am home, my evening belongs completely to your pet. The rest of my day is dedicated to long afternoon walks, playtime, and couch cuddles while I grade papers or prep lessons and play with my 6 year old son in our backyard. My weekends are completely free and dedicated entirely to pet care. Additionally, during school breaks (summer, spring break, and winter holidays), my availability opens up 24/7, making me a perfect match for your long-term vacation needs! As a school teacher and a parent to a gentle, animal-loving 6-year-old, our home runs on structure, kindness, and clear boundaries. We love hosting furry guests and treat them like members of our own family! Because of my background in education and parenting, safety is my absolute top priority. My 6-year-old has been thoroughly taught how to properly interact with dogs, respect their space, and read their body language. We practice "active supervision," meaning your pet and my child are never left unattended together. In the past 3 years we have lost both our dogs (2 large catahoula leopard dogs). My son grew up around them and has learned how to care for pets. We have missed having a dog in our house and are eager to care for tour dog and give them all the love. Your dog will get the best of both worlds here: an eager, fun playmate in my child, and a calm, reliable routine with me. After we all get home in the mid-afternoon, our evenings are filled with backyard play, neighborhood walks, and cozy family time. If your dog loves children, they will feel like they are at a premier vacation camp filled with affection and attention! To ensure every stay is stress-free, our home features a fenced yard, baby gates, and a dedicated pet room. If your dog ever needs a quiet break to eat or nap undisturbed, we have dedicated, child-free spaces set up just for them.
“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.”
“Sarahi and Leandro took really good care of Danny. They shared plenty of pictures of Danny everyday and I can tell Danny was comfortable and was enjoying himself while he was there. Definitely will rebook in the future!”
“Cowboy had a great first stay with Dana & Jared! Dana sent daily updates with lots of pictures of Cowboy settling in while in their home and out exploring during their walks. I loved seeing him become more comfortable in each update. It is great to know he is well-cared for in a safe environment while I am away.”
“Dolly had a great time! Good communication throughout her visit and she always looked happy! Photos and videos are always appreciated and they did a great job with that as well! Will book again”

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 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.

“Absolutely recommend Danny for your pet sitting needs! He takes amazing care of our two cats while when we are away and makes us feel comfortable knowing they are in great hands! One of our cats is dependent on insulin twice a day and very skittish that it has been tough finding someone she trusts but she has allowed Danny to take care of her since day one which has been such a relief! He also is great at communicating how our pets are doing each day and quick to respond to any questions or needs you may have.”

About: Hands on experience caring for animals I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of animals from large to small. I am retired and I do Uber on the side. I have very flexible hours and I’m available from dog walking, spending time with your animals to staying with them in your home to house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs that they may have. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, quiet, companionship, medication or extra patience, I provide loving a attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pets is to feel completely comfortable, knowing they’re in experienced, caring and trustworthy hands.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Noelani! She took the best care of our cat Waffles while we were away for a week. Waffles is super social and loves human company, and Noelani went above and beyond - spending quality time with him, sending us thoughtful updates with pictures and videos, and giving him all the snuggles and lap time he loves. We told her he’s a fan of chin scratches, brushing, and Churu treats - and she made sure he got all that and more. Seeing photos of him happily curled up on her lap, kneading and purring, made us feel so at ease. She even visited on his birthday and brought him a special treat. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness. It was such a relief knowing Waffles was in kind, capable, cat-loving hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty - and we feel so lucky to have found Noelani. Waffles can’t wait to hang out with her again!”
“Erin was great with my high energy dog, Bodie. He enjoys her mid-day visits and the positive attention. She was flexible with a last minute booking when my other sitter had an emergency pop up and is awesome to work with.”

“Our cats spend the week being lovingly looked after by Katelyn. She did exactly what we asked her to do to take care of our babies, coming on schedule to feed and cuddle them. Katelyn also stayed in contact with us, letting us know what she was doing each time she was with the cats.”
About: From cats and dogs to goats, I have had the pleasure of caring for many animals in my lifetime. I currently have three cats in my home and would love to pet sit more fur friends in my free time. I am kind and patient with all pets and temperaments. Although I have cats, I am a huge dog lover as I have had 2 of my own in the past. These days I am an aunt to a beautiful 4 year old Pitbull named Sadie. I was with her mom the day she was chosen from the shelter. I was instantly drawn to her and that bond hasn’t changed. I look forward to caring for your pets as much as I look forward to making mine happy. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.”

I highly recommend him!”

But most of all she provided safe environment w lots of love for Sadie.”

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!!”
“Tetiana was absolutely wonderful! She accepted our last-minute request to watch our Shih Tzu, Doug, while my family and I spent the day exploring Orlando. From the moment we met her, my wife and I felt completely at ease with her warm, caring demeanor and trusted her with Doug right away. She kept us updated with adorable photos throughout the day, which was such a thoughtful bonus, and she responded quickly to every text and question we had. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Doug was in such good hands. We will definitely use Tetiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”

“Came with fairly short notice to walk our dog. Prompt, highly communicative, friendly and considerate. Birdie really likes her as well! You can tell she really loves animals and wants to keep them happy and safe. She treats them like they are her own. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been caring for my own pets since I was a child. Care for my own children's pets as needed. I truly believe that animals are like family and should be treated as such. Retired military but I do have a child at home as well as my own pet. However that does leave my schedule still very flexible allowing me to help all days of the week and most times of the day. I respect everyone's privacy and will take care with loving their pet in their own space. I will respect the owners wishes as for what they prefer their pet to eat, how often as well as any exercise or play time. Leashes will always be used when outside their space to ensure their safety. Any guidelines the pet owner has in regards to how their pet responds to strangers and other animals will be taken into consideration for the safety of their pets and those around if taken outside their own homes.
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats and am comfortable with all different kinds of breeds. I understand the importance of respecting animal boundaries and needs, and will take care of your pet as if it is my own! I have done pet sitting for my friends and family’s pets which range from big dogs such as golden retriever and small dogs like Maltese. I’m currently working Monday to Wednesday. I’m off Thursday to Sunday. So I’m usually home from Thursday to Sunday if your pet requires extra attention. I have pet sit for my friends and family’s pets before and I follow their instructions carefully regarding meal times, walks, and playtime. I feed and make sure they drink water, take frequent walks, and have lots of playtime with pets.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for almost 7 years and have 8 years of overall experience caring for pets. I’ve babysat my neighbors’ dogs many times, and they trust me to give their pets lots of love, attention, and care while they’re away. I always send picture updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are happy and safe. I also have a friendly dog of my own who gets along well with other dogs, and with permission, I can bring my dog to interact and play with them to help keep them active and social. I’ve been an animal lover since I was in 3rd grade, and some people even call me a “dog whisperer” because animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I truly believe dogs are one of the most loyal and loving companions a person can have, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have friendly dogs for social interaction if wanted, can crate dogs if needed, and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.

“Carly is the best! Great communication and I loved getting daily updates with lots of pictures. I know my dog had the best time. I would highly recommend Carly and will be using her again!”
“Michelle was very kind and communicative throughout Edward’s stay. He had some problems with a puppy at her house and she handled it perfectly and made me feel comfortable about the situation.”
“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!”
“This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!”
“Second time watching our pup and we love her! Get lots of updates and we see our dog isn't just cared for, but they actually enjoy having her around. Highly recommend”
“Can’t say enough good things about Douglas. He’s so accommodating and thoughtful. Our dog is a bit of a diva and Douglas was patient and understanding. I received regular updates and excellent progress reports. We love this guy!”
“Naya was very good! She was communicative, very responsive, sent us pictures, and was flexible with our schedule. She also checked for our vaccine records for Ruby which made me feel safe that she does it for other dogs that she cares for. Most important, our dog had a great time!”
“Jennifer was great with my dog, Ginger and communicating with me on how she was doing while I was away on travel. I would definitely book again and recommend her!”
About: I am a local school teacher with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve always been an animal lover and have had a variety of pets including dogs, cats, snakes, bearded dragons, and leopard geckos. Up until two year’s ago, I’ve always had at least one dog in my home and am very familiar with senior dog care, including administering any medications needed. Coming home to a dog is one of the BEST feelings and I’ve been missing it since my dog passed. Rest assured, your dog will get so much LOVE, SNUGGLES, PLAYTIME, and PETS during their stay. For years, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, frequently managing long-term house sits and care routines that last multiple weeks at a time. Your furry family member will be in safe, responsible, and highly reliable hands. I have a 6 year old who is familiar with big dogs and loves to join in the fun and responsibility of taking care of a fur baby. He LOVES to snuggle just as much as I do! We have a large fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and dog park just down the street. My teaching schedule is a massive perk for your pet! Because my school day wraps up early, I am home by mid-afternoon and fully available for the rest of the day. My routine allows me to provide consistent, structured care, including early evening walks, plenty of playtime, and endless couch cuddles. As an educator, I naturally bring patience, clear communication, and a calm environment to my pet sitting. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or just a warm lap to snooze on while I prep lessons, I tailor my care to their specific routine. I look forward to giving your pet a fun, safe, and stress-free stay! As a school teacher, my life runs on a highly structured, predictable schedule, which is perfect for pets! Because my school day starts and ends early, your pet will enjoy a consistent routine every single day. My mornings begin early, allowing plenty of time for a morning potty break or short walk before I head to school. I am out of the house during standard school hours, but because teachers get out earlier than standard corporate employees, I am back home by mid-afternoon around 3:30 pm. Once I am home, my evening belongs completely to your pet. The rest of my day is dedicated to long afternoon walks, playtime, and couch cuddles while I grade papers or prep lessons and play with my 6 year old son in our backyard. My weekends are completely free and dedicated entirely to pet care. Additionally, during school breaks (summer, spring break, and winter holidays), my availability opens up 24/7, making me a perfect match for your long-term vacation needs! As a school teacher and a parent to a gentle, animal-loving 6-year-old, our home runs on structure, kindness, and clear boundaries. We love hosting furry guests and treat them like members of our own family! Because of my background in education and parenting, safety is my absolute top priority. My 6-year-old has been thoroughly taught how to properly interact with dogs, respect their space, and read their body language. We practice "active supervision," meaning your pet and my child are never left unattended together. In the past 3 years we have lost both our dogs (2 large catahoula leopard dogs). My son grew up around them and has learned how to care for pets. We have missed having a dog in our house and are eager to care for tour dog and give them all the love. Your dog will get the best of both worlds here: an eager, fun playmate in my child, and a calm, reliable routine with me. After we all get home in the mid-afternoon, our evenings are filled with backyard play, neighborhood walks, and cozy family time. If your dog loves children, they will feel like they are at a premier vacation camp filled with affection and attention! To ensure every stay is stress-free, our home features a fenced yard, baby gates, and a dedicated pet room. If your dog ever needs a quiet break to eat or nap undisturbed, we have dedicated, child-free spaces set up just for them.
“Cowboy had a great first stay with Dana & Jared! Dana sent daily updates with lots of pictures of Cowboy settling in while in their home and out exploring during their walks. I loved seeing him become more comfortable in each update. It is great to know he is well-cared for in a safe environment while I am away.”
“Dolly had a great time! Good communication throughout her visit and she always looked happy! Photos and videos are always appreciated and they did a great job with that as well! Will book again”
“Jesse took good care of our girl Bella, our 3 year chocolate Labrador, you can tell she had a great time as she was exhausted when she came back home. Jesse kept sending us pictures every single day which gave us piece of mind. We’ll definitely become repeat customers. Bella came back home with a beautiful bandana, thank you Jesse!”
“Sully had a great stay at Isabela's house. Isabela provided daily updates and photos during his boarding. I would definitely use Isabela again and would recommend her without reservation.”
“5x100 is what I give April for taking such amazing care of my fur baby. I was anxious leaving my pup for a few days but April kept me updated and sent photos. I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch and love your pup like you would.”
“Amazing service by Iliana..! If I could give them 10 stars I would. They are more like an extended part of the family in which we trust and will definitely use again in the future for any other travel needs. Thank you so much for the amazing service you provide..! 10/10 recommend..!”
“Kristie took amazing care of my little pup for the week I needed to be out of town. She provided text, picture, and video updates throughout her stay. Only downside is when I got my. puppy back, she was having so much fun she didn't want to leave!!!”
