“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“Sandra was great. Very easy to arrange everything from pickup to drop off. On the pictures it looks like for the first time our dogs enjoyed their vacation too. Maybe because they had access to the pool or just because they also felt very welcome by Sandra.”
“Definitivamente la mejor Sitter que pudimos encontrar para Lexie. Siempre nos mantuvo informados sobre Lexie, fotos hermosas y todos los miembros de la familia se portaron super cariñosos con nuestra Lexie. Gracias mil Olga.”
“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”
“Randal was an absolute delight to correspond with, and our pup Molly seemed thoroughly delighted. Randal provided multiple updates, pics and videos: keeping us in the loop. We’ll absolutely be checking to see if he’s available on our next trip out of town. Leaving Molly with Randal & Karen will be a no-brainer on our next multi-day excursion.”
“I never give anyone 5 stars, but Karen and her husband are amazing!! Cole had the best time. We received many videos of him playing. He was very well taken care of, and we will definitely be using their services again.”
“This was my first time having Thomas and Lyndsay watch my baby Dunkin and had a great experience. I travel for work so finding/having a consistent dog walking/boarding person is incredibly difficult sometimes, but Thomas and Lyndsay were so nice and they even allowed my dog on the couch and bed since he is already allowed on furniture in my home. 🥰 I would 100% reach out to Thomas and Lyndsay again. Thank you so much! ☺️”
“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!”
“Claudia was great!! She sent lots of pics and made Roscoe so comfortable! I tried to board him before I found her and he was too nervous ? I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to anyone who needs a dig sitter ?”
“We’ve used Viviana twice so far and will definitely have her watch our dog, Luke, again! When we dropped him off he was so excited to see Viviana and her husband that I had trouble getting him to come and say goodbye to me. She sent me pictures every day which was nice. Luke was happy and obviously well cared for. I would recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Viviana and Chris!”
“Maggie was taken care of really well. She was played with and loved. I really love the pictures that were sent, and they really ease my anxiety for leaving Maggie May. Only the second time in her five years of living. I would highly recommend any one to use Meltem, as I plan to in the future.”
“What can I say they were AWESOME! I had a situation where another sitter canceled on us at the last minute and we had a flight in the morning reached out to them and with no hesitation and against their protocol to meet and greet with no hesitation accepted it and believed in us about our beloved pet behavior and ways and accepted to watch her I couldn’t thank him enough as he made our vacation plans great he is definitely our sitter for our pet and we will only use him and his services communication is flawless and our pet had a great time in their care. Thank you.🙏🏼”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with this sitter. We had to make last-minute arrangements for our senior dog, Lola, while we were vacationing in Sanibel after discovering that our condo no longer allowed pets. Lola is highly anxious, and leaving her is always stressful for us, so finding someone we could trust was incredibly important. From the very beginning, communication was exceptional. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Lola was in great hands. Not only did she take excellent care of Lola, but she also graciously allowed us to visit and take Lola for walks during the week. She made sure Lola got plenty of exercise, socialization with other dogs, and lots of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for her. The biggest testament to the care she provided came on the last day. As we drove away, Lola actually watched her new friend leave and whined for her—a reaction we've never seen before. That told us everything we needed to know about the bond they had formed. If we ever return to Sanibel, she will be our first call. Every Rover sitter should strive to provide this level of care, communication, and compassion. We are beyond grateful for how wonderfully she treated our Lola. Thank you!!!”
“Celea did a wonderful job caring for Bentley during his six day stay. He has been well-adjusted and calm since his return home. Will use Celea the next time I need a sitter.”
“We had an out-of-state family wedding before we recently got our puppy Scooter. Not being able to take him with us, and having no one to watch him, we searched on Rover.com. We are extremely happy we found Tara. She was willing to meet with us first just to get acquainted with him before our trip. He did wonderfully. Tara took such very, very good care of him. She truly loves what she does and it shows. We trust her 100%. Do not hesitate to leave your family member with her. Tara is the BEST!!”
“Ashlee was an excellent choice to watch our dogs. We dropped them off after a 2 day, 18 hour drive from Indiana as we are moving to Florida. We were afraid that they would be confused, etc. They were making friends with other dogs in 5 minutes. Ashlee’s flexibility was so appreciated. Highly recommend.”
“Theresa did a wonderful job and Bella loves her time there as if she was at home. The most important thing to us is that everyone was comfortable with the situation and that there was no anxiety. This is the second time she did a wonderful job for us, and we will continue to use her for Bella.”

About: My name is Dixan, animals have always been important to me. I believe that they should be cared for and treated as well as we treat ourselves. I've been around dogs and cats since I can remember; I have a three year old dog of my own, and I share responsibility in caring for two other dogs. I lived on a property that provided Corgi and mutt rescues and rehabilitation in Oklahoma City. Id help foster dogs, train basic behaviors and commands, and help find them a new home. I learned a lot about how to deal with animals there, it was a great experience. I've dogsat dogs with breathing trouble, diabetes, incontinence, physical disability, and blindness. I've sat very old dogs, and very young puppies and kittens. As far as walking, I have helped trained dogs to restrain from pulling while on leash. All training methods I have learned are positive reinforcement based methods. I'm not a fan of some of the other methods. I have a very flexible schedule. I am my own boss so I can usually work with what you’d like me to do and when you’d like me to be there. I will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’ll give them individual attention and care. I’m comfortable walking and playing with dogs of all sizes. One of my own dogs has to be crated sometimes, so I’m no stranger to that if you need it.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, not just pets, but family. I grew up around dogs, volunteered with the Humane Society throughout college, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra medical care. One of my huskies developed diabetes and eventually went blind, so I became very comfortable administering medications and injections, following strict routines, and giving patient, loving care. I lost my sweet Shih Tzu after 17 amazing years together, and now I have two spoiled pups of my own, Gracie and Lily. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they are my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekends, with weekday availability on many days as well. I’m happy to work with pet parents whenever possible and always do my best to accommodate schedules, routines, and special care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and personalities so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I live in a very dog-friendly area in Fort Myers with plenty of space for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, supervision, communication, and making sure your pet feels at home.
About: Ever since I was a child, I have always had a dog, and/or cat. I have cared for friends, neighbors and family member’s dogs. This has included administering medications, either by mouth or shots, bathing, feeding, walking/running and cleaning up any messes they may have left behind. I have also spent the night at homes or brought their dogs to my house to watch. In my experience, I have found that watching a dog in their own home is less stressful than bringing them to an unknown home. I currently work full time 3 days a week and my schedule varies. I have some flexibility and on those days I would like to walk your dog. I prefer to walk your dog from your home. If your dog requires more care, then I would be happy to work out special care when needed.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.
“We had Adriene help out for 2 hours of dog care in separate walks for 2 very large Leonbergers that she had never met. The boys were well taken care of during the day. She was very responsive and communicated frequently during the day. Thank you!”

“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“Sandra was great. Very easy to arrange everything from pickup to drop off. On the pictures it looks like for the first time our dogs enjoyed their vacation too. Maybe because they had access to the pool or just because they also felt very welcome by Sandra.”
“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”
“This was my first time having Thomas and Lyndsay watch my baby Dunkin and had a great experience. I travel for work so finding/having a consistent dog walking/boarding person is incredibly difficult sometimes, but Thomas and Lyndsay were so nice and they even allowed my dog on the couch and bed since he is already allowed on furniture in my home. 🥰 I would 100% reach out to Thomas and Lyndsay again. Thank you so much! ☺️”
“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!”
“Claudia was great!! She sent lots of pics and made Roscoe so comfortable! I tried to board him before I found her and he was too nervous ? I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to anyone who needs a dig sitter ?”
“What can I say they were AWESOME! I had a situation where another sitter canceled on us at the last minute and we had a flight in the morning reached out to them and with no hesitation and against their protocol to meet and greet with no hesitation accepted it and believed in us about our beloved pet behavior and ways and accepted to watch her I couldn’t thank him enough as he made our vacation plans great he is definitely our sitter for our pet and we will only use him and his services communication is flawless and our pet had a great time in their care. Thank you.🙏🏼”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with this sitter. We had to make last-minute arrangements for our senior dog, Lola, while we were vacationing in Sanibel after discovering that our condo no longer allowed pets. Lola is highly anxious, and leaving her is always stressful for us, so finding someone we could trust was incredibly important. From the very beginning, communication was exceptional. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Lola was in great hands. Not only did she take excellent care of Lola, but she also graciously allowed us to visit and take Lola for walks during the week. She made sure Lola got plenty of exercise, socialization with other dogs, and lots of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for her. The biggest testament to the care she provided came on the last day. As we drove away, Lola actually watched her new friend leave and whined for her—a reaction we've never seen before. That told us everything we needed to know about the bond they had formed. If we ever return to Sanibel, she will be our first call. Every Rover sitter should strive to provide this level of care, communication, and compassion. We are beyond grateful for how wonderfully she treated our Lola. Thank you!!!”
“Harley loved her stay. Lorie was great with everything. Communication was excellent. She sent a pictures and I'm very thankful that she was able to take me at the last minute. I will definitely book with Lorie again and would recommend her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Maria was great, and very attentive to my lab Buoy. she watched him for 5 days. She sent me updates frequently with pictures/videos and even let him play in her pool. He had a blast! We will definitely be using her in the future”
“Tia was great with both of my dogs. She sent many pictures and made me feel more at ease while I was out of town. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again!”
“Destini is everything we could wish for in a sitter for our Olive girl, and we have already booked with her for a trip away next month. Olive just spent an entire week with Destini, and we received many updates each day. We had absolute peace of mind that our pup was in the best hands and truly in a home away from home with lots of love and affection. Destini's house is immaculate with a secure backyard, and her small pup is super friendly. I highly recommend scheduling your pet's stay with Destini!”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“We are glad that our dog Panda stayed with Destony, she always keep us updated how she was doing with pictures and videos , if we need our Panda to stay again with a family it will be with Destony’s for sure, thank you.”
“My dogs had the best time on their vacation with Fabiana! She sent soo many pictures and communicated throughout their time away. I'm sure they will miss all the fun they had!”
“Marta was awesome! She kept me updated with text and photos of my dog brandy. This was Brandy's first time away from home so it was probably a bit more than what Marta and I expected being that Brandy is a puppy. Nevertheless, Quinn's Marta's dog seem to enjoy Brandy and help communicate effectively with her. So happy that Marta was able to watch her while I was out of town.”
