“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”
“Mia had a fabulous stay with Carla for a long weekend. We got lots of pictures and info on how she was doing. She even managed to get Mia to eat her kibble that she usually just picks at. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Carla again!!”
“Marley was very well taken care of. I didnt worry about him at all. They sent pics and video. They took him for walks. We will use again for sure. Very very nice people!”
“Karen is actually 6 STARS ⭐️ Rocky felt right at home - we received pictures & videos throughout his stay Rocky loved cuddling up to Karen - had plenty of walks and play time . We really appreciated the love & care Rocky got ! Already working on his next stay ❣️”
“A huge shout out and thank you to Sandra and her family for taking care of our Loki while we were gone on vacation. Such an incredible relief, not having to worry about if he is being cared for and having fun. Since he fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car, I'd say he had a great time. Thank you, Thank You. Thank You!!!”
“Amazing! I think Smokey didn't want to come home with me, LOL. Vetra is such a blessing for our disabled cat who hasn't been boarded before. During the meet & greet, Smokey was comfortable with Vetra & her place right away. I knew that the medical background of Vetra would come in handy: the compassion, expertise in handling medication, caring personality, pleasant personality, excellent communication skills. She's an asset to Rover. Will definitely work with her again & recommend to friends.”
“Alain has been absolutely wonderful with Hershey! From the very first moment, I could tell he truly cared and took the time to understand Hershey’s needs and personality. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Hershey came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of, which gives me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate the updates and photos—it’s clear that Hershey enjoys his time with Alain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you, Alain!”
“Lyndsey and Thomas took wonderful care of our puppy! Rex was well cared for! Plenty of updates during his stay. While we were only gone for a couple of days it was such a peace of mind knowing that he was so well cared for. Thank you so much! Should we need care for Rex again we will absolutely visit again!”
“We left our buddy with her and it was his first time ever being away from mom n dad and we were so blessed to find Gulcin she is wonderful with him and would recommend her to any pet parent we got pictures and videos and updates that helped us with the separation”
“Thank you Claudia for your kindness and patience with my dog Duke, you are a very good petsitter. Thanks for everything. I will definitely request your help in the future.”
“My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.”
“Emily and Aaron were such great dog sitters, even over Christmas holiday! They sent pictures of my pet every day..he looked so happy! I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again!!”
“Ashlee is an amazing dog sitter. She cares for them as though they were her own. Clean and home well set up for dogs. One of our dogs became sick and she took them to the vet. Excellent communication and completed course of treatment. Recommend without reservation.”
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“Vivian did a great job keeping me updated on how everything was going with our dog. She didn't just give me general updates, but instead, she provided details and made me feel at ease. I was confident that our dog was being well taken care of.”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“As usual, Khaos had a fantastic time. She caught an upset stomach but Natasha and Gaspere were quick to communicate about it and did everything they could to help soothe it. I’m very grateful that my pup is always in good hands here.”
“We can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Cynthia and her family are amazing! Cynthia was in contact with me daily for updates and pictures. She made sure my dog was well taken care of and felt right at home. I highly recommend Cynthia for any and all future visits. She and her family will take care of your dog like they are their own and make you feel more than comfortable about leaving your pup for a few days!”

Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment throughout our time together. Safety always comes first: I keep a close eye on pets at all times and treat every pet like my own.

“Lyndsay was a godsend! She is exactly the animal-loving professional that we were seeking. She went above and beyond while taking care of our cat and dog, including grabbing mail, packages, and newspaper deliveries. She is warm, friendly, and nurturing to our animals. She was prompt and gave our pets the human touch they needed with us away. We received a daily update and photos and videos of our animals on every visit and I know they felt comfortable with her. Lyndsay is a strong communicator, asking clarification questions and thinking of every detail. I give Lyndsay my highest recommendation and she will be my first phone call the next time we need pet-sitting!”

“Our dog has done weekly daycare with Pamela for about two years, that’s easily 100 times- and I would recommend her 100 times over. She’s also boarded our dog and checked in on our cat when traveling. Pamela is great at communicating during a stay and always takes the best pictures of our pup. She genuinely loves her job and every dog that she works with she treats as her own. I’ve never worried about my dog with her and any issues (dogs not immediately getting along) have always been quickly and thoroughly communicated. The pack of daycare dogs she made has been amazing at socializing our dog and wearing her out. Our dog is so excited to go to Pamela’s every single time and sleeps so well that night. Pamela is truly unique in how she runs her daycare and the services she provides. Any dog that gets to spend the day with her is well loved and cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Meltem is a fanstastic dog sitter and took great care of our teenage poodle. He is full of energy but she handled it very professionally. She is a very friendly person and her home is super clean and nice. I would recommend her anytime and we love to use her services in the future”
“Erika was the best! This was Coppers first doggy daycare and he loved it ! She paid attention to him, gave him walks, and he enjoyed playing with her dog as well. She communicated with me throughout the day, which made me feel at ease since we are not from this area. I highly recommend Erika and I will use her every time we are back here.”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! From the moment we arrived, our pup ran straight into her home without hesitation or barking at all, which immediately showed us how comfortable and safe she felt there. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Elisa was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It’s obvious our puppy had an amazing time and was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Elisa again. I highly recommend trusting your pup with her, you won’t regret it!”
About: I have over 40 years’ experience caring for pets. I've often watched friends and family dogs. As I am now fully retired and recently lost my most precious Dachshund, Nathan(hotdogs) after 16+ years, I’m hoping to help anyone who may need pet care watching their family dogs. I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon! I'm fully retired and spend most of my time at home. I have plenty of free time and I’ve always enjoyed getting out for a dog walk in the early morning and late afternoon. I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks. I take care not to walk dogs when it's too hot and always keep them off of hot sidewalks and pavement. I also allow plenty of couch and TV time for all dogs especially the less active senior dogs. Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.

We will definitely use her again . Nice safe house with plenty of room for dogs to roam in the heart of the home where they are easily supervised .”
“Vetra is 5 stars! I can’t say enough about her care during Bo’s first doggy daycare. She sent a picture and I knew immediately he was happy and doing great. She held him for 30 minutes to calm him, pottied him several times and encouraged him to eat during his stay. He was very calm when I picked him up from daycare showing no signs of anxiety or upset. Vetra provided a wonderful, caring environment for Bo. Thank you Vetra! We are booking again!”
“My dog was so happy over at Alain's house. I can tell the whole family truly loves dogs and treated him wonderfully. Thank you so much and I would recommend this pet sitter to anyone.”

Lynette sent some sweet photos, which I appreciated. And most importantly, I had peace of mind that Sierra was in good, responsible hands for the day. Lynette is an RN, so a natural caregiver! Thanks, Lynette, for everything!”

It made it so easy to leave Oliver, knowing how comfortable he felt. I would definitely recommend Krista and will reach out to her again while staying here in Cape Coral.”

About: I provide consistent, reliable care for every pet —feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles — ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and completely loved while you’re away Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m always home, so I’m ready to give pups attention, walks, and love whenever they need ! I care for pets like they’re part of my family. They enjoy safe play in my fenced yard and the company of my friendly dog
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I’ve raised puppies and taken care of senior pets. Unfortunately I do not have any pets right now, I lost our senior dog a little over a year ago and my heart is still recovering.. My goal with my own animals and with my guests is to provide a safe, balanced, and fulfilling place for them to come and have some fun! They will be exercised, basic training (sit, stay, loose leash walking) will be worked on and lots of love! I understand that your animals mental health is just as important as their physical so I strive to make it a well rounded experience for your special pet! I am currently self employed and have a lot of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I homeschool my 2 daughters (8 & 9 years old), who are very knowledgeable in animals and the handling and care of pets. I am an animal person through and through and I love when I have new friends around to play with and learn from!! The flexibility in my schedule gives me the ability to be able to do “field trips” with the doggies several times a week which is great for our puppy friends that need as much exposure to new things as possible ( 100 things in 100 days!)!! I understand how unnerving it can be leaving your dog or cat with a stranger while you’re away, I used to feel the same way which is what made me want to help others have a safe spot for their animals, free of doubt and worry. Each animal gets one on one attention and there is someone with them at all times. I want your pet to feel like they are at their second home when they are with me and want you to feel confident that they are well taken care of and loved.
“Gulcin was very accommodating as our request was last minute. Met here out front where Harley was able to greet her. She kept us updated with pics and messages on how he was doing and took him for a walk while with her. It was only for a few hours but could tell she has a love for dogs! If we need daycare again while here in Ft. Myers while on vacation will definitely use her again!”

I genuinely care about the animals I’m around, whether that’s a laid-back senior dog or a high-energy puppy, I pay attention to their personality and adjust to what they need. Pets deserve someone who treats them like family, and that’s exactly how I show up for them. I have a flexible schedule right now, which means I’m available most days and can work around whatever fits best for you and your pup. Whether it’s a quick daily walk or regular check-ins, I have the time to be consistent and reliable while you’re away or at work. My home has a fully fenced yard, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run and play. There are also other friendly dogs in the house, so your pup will have company and won’t be alone. Everyone here is comfortable and experienced around dogs of all sizes and personalities.
About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my whole life, caring for pets since I was a child. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, combining that lifelong passion with hands-on medical care, and support for pets and their owners. My experience blends deep affection for animals with practical skills in their health and well‑being. I usually work at a vet clinic from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM with a lunch break at 12:00 PM. During my shift I check on the animals, feed and water them, and let them out. After work, I get home, the animals are free for the rest of the night. I prioritize maintaining the specific rhythm and comfort they’re used to at your home. I strictly follow your feeding schedules and medical routines, ensuring they have a dedicated, cozy space to retreat to whenever they need a nap. For dogs, this means plenty of structured walks and backyard playtime, while for cats, I provide vertical perches and dedicated one-on-one enrichment to satisfy their curiosity. Above all, I keep a close eye on their body language to ensure they feel secure and loved, and I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun and relaxation they’re having while you're away.
About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.
About: I’m currently a pet mom of 2 awesome pups and also have multiple grand pups and cats! I grew up on a farm raising every kind of animal imaginable and have continued my love for all animals throughout my adult life. One of my current pups is deaf so I have experience with special needs and my daughter works at the local vet which offers me extra perks as well. I absolutely love all animals (probably more than humans😜) and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am self-employed and work from home so my schedule is super flexible. I can stay at your home for overnights or simply come visit your babies every couple of hours for walks, feeding and playtime. Depending on your pet (dog only), I can also bring them to my home for playtime with my pups. I am super attentive (maybe too attentive!) and very cautious when dealing with any animal. I understand they are your babies and safety is number one! If we visit my home, my dogs are super friendly sandbar dogs and I have a fenced yard for everyone to play.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.
“Barry is the best with my 3 dogs. He walks all 3 of them together, sends great photos that just make my day when I’m at work. He’s prompt, courteous and best of all, my dogs love him!”
About: Since the age of seven, I have nurtured a passion for caring for animals, growing up in an environment surrounded by livestock and participating in animal shows. Additionally, I have gained experience as a veterinary technician assistant at an animal hospital. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine involves feeding, walking, and playing with clients pets. Weekly, I able to give quality time to ensure their well-being and happiness. Caring for pets in my home and clients' homes typically includes providing adequate food and fresh water, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, maintaining cleanliness by tidying living areas, administering medications if needed, and offering companionship and attention to meet their emotional needs. For clients, I also tailor care to their specific instructions and routines, ensuring a consistent environment for the pets while their owners are away.
About: I have loved caring for animals since I was a child. Walking and feeding our German Shepherd was my favorite part of the day. We also had a Chow and one feline. Training Rocky the rottweiler to remain calm while bunnies passed through the yard is my biggest accomplishment, thus far. I love working with animals and their energy. On Thursday morning I teach guided Meditation but make my own schedule other than that. I'm up early to watch the sun rise and greet all the neighbors and pups. Animals prefer and are most comfortable being in their own environment with the scent of loved ones surrounding them. I respect their boundaries and connect with their energy softly and respectfully.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can say I’m an avid animal lover! My parents always counted on me to help out with our family pets. I adopted my own pup in 2020 and he taught me so much more about caring for animals and how to be the best friend a dog could ask for :) I love to take long walks and snuggle with furry friends and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I currently have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, and overnight stays during the weekends! I work in my office during the work week, so I am unavailable for weekday drop ins and walks during working hours, but am more than happy to help out with pets during the evenings on the work week. Also able to spend the night for caretaking if your pet is good with other dogs (would need to bring my dog with me for a sleepover) I regularly take my own dog on hour long walks most days of the week so am more than happy to take long walks for energetic pups! I love to play with dogs, tossing balls, playing tug of war, or just running around together. I know with my own dog that exercise is so important, so it will be top priority for me when taking care of your pet.

“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”
“A huge shout out and thank you to Sandra and her family for taking care of our Loki while we were gone on vacation. Such an incredible relief, not having to worry about if he is being cared for and having fun. Since he fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car, I'd say he had a great time. Thank you, Thank You. Thank You!!!”
“Alain has been absolutely wonderful with Hershey! From the very first moment, I could tell he truly cared and took the time to understand Hershey’s needs and personality. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Hershey came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of, which gives me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate the updates and photos—it’s clear that Hershey enjoys his time with Alain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you, Alain!”
“Lyndsey and Thomas took wonderful care of our puppy! Rex was well cared for! Plenty of updates during his stay. While we were only gone for a couple of days it was such a peace of mind knowing that he was so well cared for. Thank you so much! Should we need care for Rex again we will absolutely visit again!”
“We left our buddy with her and it was his first time ever being away from mom n dad and we were so blessed to find Gulcin she is wonderful with him and would recommend her to any pet parent we got pictures and videos and updates that helped us with the separation”
“Thank you Claudia for your kindness and patience with my dog Duke, you are a very good petsitter. Thanks for everything. I will definitely request your help in the future.”
“My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.”
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“As usual, Khaos had a fantastic time. She caught an upset stomach but Natasha and Gaspere were quick to communicate about it and did everything they could to help soothe it. I’m very grateful that my pup is always in good hands here.”
“We can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Jill is awesome! She took such great care of our Sasha while we were away! She sent pictures and updates. Sasha had a great time.. I can tell that she was very comfortable at Jill's house.. We will definitely be using Jill again as our sitter. Thank you Jill for taking such great care of Sasha! ❤️ Barb”
“First time hiring a sitter, Summit was amazing and truly made my first experience using the Rover app so easy. I would highly recommend him. I believe he went above and beyond by offering a meet and greet. His professionalism and knowledge of animals made the experience even better than I imagined. Jolene absolutely loved being there! Definitely will be booking with him again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, I am so happy for choosing Marcia for taking great care of my Zoe which is very shy and a little nervous around other dogs and some people. Thank you so much Marcia 🤗🤗🤗”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt confident they were in great hands. Throughout my weekend trip, I received regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was friendly, communicative, and clearly cared about my dogs’ well-being. The photos showed them looking comfortable, relaxed, and happy, and when I picked them up, they were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious she treats the pets in her care with kindness and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again in the future!”
“If you’re looking for the best place to leave your pup, look no further, Diana is the one! I had to go on a last-minute trip, and not only did she come to the rescue, but she also took care of Rocky with so much love and dedication that I felt completely at ease. She kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time, and it was clear that Rocky was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s rare to find someone so caring and committed to animals. I’ll definitely leave him with her again. Thank you for everything, Diana!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for friends and family from a young age and have always had a genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe they’re part of the family. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m currently fully available and looking to make pet care a full-time commitment. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to dogs staying in my home. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate different routines and schedules to make sure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a nice, spacious fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outdoor time. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with no children or other animals, so your dog can get lots of attention and feel comfortable in a calm environment where they’re treated as my own🤍
“Tia was amazing. She took great care of our fur babies. We are travel nurses and we take our dogs everywhere. Unfortunately, they were unable to come with us this time. Tia was able to manage and give lots of love to our Pomeranian that has very bad separation anxiety. Tia sent us updates, pictures and videos everyday. We are so happy with her. If we are ever back in Omaha I will totally and with all the trust in the world leave my fur babies with her again. We 100% recommend her and I’ll be sure to recommend her to all our travel nurse friends.”
