Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sawgrass
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sawgrass
“I cannot recommend Carolyn enough! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dogs, Onyx and Rebel, with someone else, and I was incredibly nervous. Carolyn was amazing at putting my mind at ease. She handled Rebel’s high-energy personality perfectly and was so gentle with Onyx, who is much more timid. I loved receiving the daily updates and photos. Onyx enjoyed being able to relax on the couch like she does at home and Rebel loved having a choice of toys to play with. When I picked them up, they were both happy, relaxed, and 'smiling.' I’m so relieved to have found a sitter I can trust and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I highly recommend Viji, she made Rex a part of their family, and I could tell by the photo she sent that he was having a wonderful time and received lots of love.”
“Tannia and Chris were absolutely awesome! They exceeded the goal in making sure Zion felt right at home. It truly comforted me and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing he was well cared for!🤗💕THANK YOU!”
“I am very grateful to have found Danielle on Rover.com. My goldendoodle had a wonderful time with her in her home. She is kind and very sweet to our furry friends and I plan to work with her many times in the future.”
“Brad took great care of Cole, who just started walking about 4 weeks ago after being paralyzed for 4 months. Brad's house was immaculate and geared toward taking care of dogs........ will use Brad again”
“Taqueria was super good with my baby boy! She was responsive and kind. Reassured me he was in good hands and took pictures and kept me updated. I would highly recommend her. She is super patient and understanding. I will be using her for future boarding. Home also was nice and clean🙃”
“Five stars! Maria was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Olaf. From the moment I dropped him off, Maria was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout his stay with regular communication, including adorable videos and pictures. It was so comforting to see Olaf happy and well-cared for. They even went above and beyond by taking him for walks and including him in their weekend picnic plans! It's clear they truly love dogs and treat them like their own. I will absolutely be contacting Ryan and Maria again whenever I'm in the area – I highly recommend their dog-watching services!”
“Bekah was absolutely wonderful with our precious little pup and I highly recommend her services. This was our first time using Rover and Bekah was so extremely helpful with answering all of our questions and giving us such a high level of comfort.”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals and loved every second of it. At one point, we had five dogs and six puppies running around house. Being surrounded by dogs was such a special part of my childhood and helped shape my love for caring for them. Today, I have a 3 year old dachshund of my own who has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to know your baby is in safe and loving hands when you’re away. That’s why, on my days off, I enjoy providing that same peace of mind to other pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a full-time Nurse Practitioner student, my schedule can be busy, but spending time with dogs is one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy incorporating pet care into my weekly routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I find so much joy in being around dogs. They bring a special kind of happiness and comfort, and I love having the opportunity to care for them when their owners need a helping hand. have a home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise throughout the day. Inside, pets are treated like part of the family and are welcome to relax, play, and roam comfortably in a safe, supervised environment. I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and care they are accustomed to at home. Whether your pet loves playing outside, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having companionship, I will provide a loving and comfortable environment where they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Brooke was great! She sent me updates of our pups throughout the days & my pups left very happy. They got lots of snuggles and love and got treated as part of the fam!”
“Awesome experience!!! first time using this service and couldn’t have gotten any luckier when Chloe agreed to watch Mr brown after the initial meet up. My dog has a lot of anxiety when it comes to meeting new people so the first few days is a lot of patience while he gets adjusted to his temp home. But besides that I got constant updates how he was doing, and she was genuinely interested in the well being of my dog. It didn’t feel like someone was just doing this for the money, the person loves dogs!! I HIGHLY recommend them, my dog became himself and by the third day I was receiving pictures of my dog smiling and looking like he had a new home lol.”
“Joanne was great. She kept us up to date with Moxy, providing frequent pictures and updates. Our dog had a great stay and really enjoyed the large yard and got along well with her dog, Lola. Definitely recommend.”
“Hope was wonderful! She took care of our cat who is super skiddish and not super friendly. She had no issues and was able to take care of him for a long weekend. She was very communicative and sent us pictures a few times per day. She even stayed up later for pick up as we hit unexpected traffic coming back from our trip. We highly recommend Hope for anyone looking for a pet professional!”
“Maria was amazing with our dog. She shared updates, photos and videos throughout the day every day. She was very attentive and took great care of our dog. She would also respond to messages or questions very quickly.”
“Lisa and David were amazing with my dog, Gwennie! Lisa took extra time to make her feel comfortable and right at home. They sent me regular updates with photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It was clear that Gwennie was well cared for and happy during her stay. I highly recommend Lisa and David for anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog boarding experience!”
“Catherine and her home were a great fit to watch my Stella! She was very communicative and made her feel right at home. We would absolutely use Catherine to board again!”

“Heather was amazing, I usually like to meet my walkers beforehand but was un able to and I had full trust in her. She let my pup out and hung out with her for even a little longer than what I put in!!! I would 100% use her again and wouod recommend to anybody looking for a sitter or walker.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 15 years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing plenty of love (on their terms, of course!). I’ll also send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
“Sophia was such a pleasure to work with! She was thorough, detailed, communicative but most importantly, so loving with my three cats. I wholeheartedly trust Sophia to take care of our fur babies in the future! Thank you for everything, Sophia!”
“So thankful that Joanne made the time to help us out of a jam when the Rover sitter we originally booked to feed & take care of our cat "dropped the ball" & never responded to my messages or showed up for the job we paid for! Thanks again!”
“Dawn was amazing! She took great care of our two fur babies. It was our first time using the service, and it was such a relief to know we could vacation and know our cats were in great hands! Drop ins were on time, with excellent notes and photos of all the extra love and attention they received. The cats appreciated not having to be boarded! And we appreciated not being shunned for the next week for having the audacity to board the cats! A big thank you again from all of us!!”
About: All my life I have enjoyed the Prescence of cat or dog in my home. Since the loss of our boxer Lucy - we rescued a Siamese kitten that we found abandoned - her name is Helen. i currently feed and walk daily 2 dogs I work part time from home - with flexible hours - during weekdays or weekends . Can usually be available with short notice to assist with your pet needs. Always make sure to enter and leave a client's home carefully.

“Heather took great care of Oakley and our house was left clean and well cared for. We got lots of Oakley pics and updates while we were away. Heather was always quick to respond. Would absolutely book again! Thanks so much!”
“Karine was such a savior coming in at the last minute to help with my pets! They seemed to really like her right from the start (when they’re usually hesitant with new faces). She sent cute photos and updates along the way, and she responded to messages quickly. I would definitely use her again!”
“I came home and could absolutely tell how well my little man (my dog) was taken care of. She did a great job! 10/10 would recommend! She also got some really good pics of him :)”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life. From puppies and senior pups, to special-needs dogs and everything in between. Taking care of dogs something that I truly love and enjoy doing. I currently spend my days working a bit at lululemon, taking online classes and playing with my own dog, Sully. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pup during the week! I also only work shorter shifts. I’ve been watching dogs, my whole life, and my own dog has been around other dogs in this type of environment for a few years now so he’s very comfortable as well.
About: I grew up with cats, my whole life, and for years I would cat sit for friends. I love them! They can be very sweet, gentle and also like their personal space at times.

“Nora and Marco have watched my dog Irwin approximately 60 times and do so on a recurring basis due to my work. They are extremely communicative, very kind, and they put up with my wild dog! Their dog Hera is also super sweet and a great dog friend for Irwin. He gets excited in the car on our way thru and always comes home tired from a full day. I receive photos and videos throughout the day of the dogs sleeping and playing. I am Extremely glad I found Nora and Marco and recommend anyone in the beaches area to use them for sitting and daycare.”
“An amazing sitter that I can trust. She was a great communicator and sent me lots of updates while her stay. My pup is very shy and delicate but she really enjoyed staying with Dana. I highly recommend her.”

“Ollie enjoyed his stay at this families’ house. They were very accommodating with the drop in and drop off times. I received updates throughout the day. Ollie really loved Ruby from the first interaction. I would recommend this family. I will definitely be bringing Ollie back since they are just down the road from me.”

About: Experienced with walks, feedings, house-sitting dogs—both small and large breeds. I'm responsive, I'm comfortable with long stays, and giving dogs the calm, consistent care they need. I've had experience with puppies and senior care through my own previous pets. Also experience preparing meals for raw food diets. I’m a part-time student and research assistant at UNF, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I typically have one class a day and can manage most of my workload online at home, so I'm never gone for long. Besides that, I try to keep my availability open only on days I know I will be mostly home like during breaks and holidays, so your dog will have plenty of company and care! I provide attentive, consistent care—feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll follow medication routines, offer treats as needed, and never feed scraps. With your permission, I’d love to take your dog on beach trips, or park visits for exercise and enrichment.
“Shes wonderful person to my dog. I was so surprised that Buddy was playing her cat. Thats so sweet of her that she gave small toy for Buddy. Sometime he played his own toy. I really thank her so much. I will highly recommend to my friends or family. ❤️”
“Cookie had the best time with Maria! She was really nice and made us all feel very confident about leaving him in her house (which is super nice and clean and super pet -friendly) She sent me pictures and videos of Cookie frequently and sent me updates all the time and I could see from the videos that he felt right at home.We can’t wait to book house sitting and boarding again 😊”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, snuggled, and spoken to like a tiny furry human. I have experience with senior pets (slow walks and meds? No problem), energetic puppies (zoomies encouraged), and everything in between. Whether your dog needs extra patience, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your goldfish just needs someone to not forget about them—I’ve got it covered. Bonus: I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always down for sending cute photo updates. Because let’s be honest, you do want to see 17 pictures of your dog sleeping. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Like your pup, I also need multiple walks a day- I don't love spending a lot of time inside. So I take breaks by going for walks! We also love to relax and unwind, only really love a good happy hour and to be in bed by 9. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I stick to their normal routine as much as possible—meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles all on their schedule. I take the time to learn your pet’s quirks, preferences, and energy level so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m neat, respectful, and always leave your home the way I found it. In my home, pets have cozy spots to relax, plenty of playtime, and of course—constant supervision, belly rubs, and photo updates. Basically, I become your pet’s temporary best friend. ❤️
“Allyson was great! 10/10!! Took care of my dog Gizmo at the last minute when I had to travel for work. She sent photos and video updates throughout the days. Her house was very clean and safe, backyard was large and fenced. Great communication.”
“JoAnn is the absolute best! I’m a nurse who works long hours and she’s always accommodating of my schedule. My dog Meeko loves going to daycare and I never have to worry when he’s there. She also painted a beautiful portrait of my Meeko that I am so grateful for. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Amazing, simply can't say enough good things things about Diane & Greg! Our puppy had the time of his life and we felt completely at ease leaving him. Such lovely people and if you're looking for excellent, reliable, caring dog-sitters then look no further! We will be using Diane & Greg anytime we need a sitter.”
About: Hi, we’re Anna and Nick, your neighbors and fellow dog lovers. We have a goldendoodle and three dachshund who love having friends over. They’re all very social and sweet with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Please check out their pet profiles for more info. We offer daycare and overnight stays at our house. Nick and I both work from home and have a flex scheduled. We have plenty of time to give the pups lots of love and attention throughout the day. No kids. We give lots of attention and outside time. Our home is a calm, dog-focused environment. We have a large fenced yard and are outside a lot. We have a pool. While our dogs don’t swim, many of our friends’ dogs love a dip. We don’t mind! We love it. And we won’t leave them unattended.
“We wish we could take Tim on our whole road trip vacation. He made it possible to enjoy a whole golf day with no worries. Tim even offered to pick up and drop off Sparky to save us”
“Ryan & Maria were super lovely, calm, caring, gracious. We felt really good leaving Bella with them for the afternoon. They are conveniently located close to Mayo, and it was a gift to be able to drop Bella off, get to our appointment at Mayo and then pick her back up … knowing she was in quiet space with caring people. They also send plenty of photos and videos which were nice to receive too. Highly recommend this wonderful couple for your pet’s well-being.”
“Omg I don’t even know where to start! I was nervous getting a dog-sitter as I normally spend my whole day with my dogs- especially since my new puppy is a rescue and gets nervous around other people and dogs AND has pretty bad separation anxiety. To start, I really appreciate that they make sure each dog that they take care of is up-to-date on their vet care to prevent other doggos from catching anything. I did a meet and greet with Yessica and my fur-babies before our official dog-sitting day and she is the sweetest person with such a genuine love for her pups. Their house is beautiful, clean, and very safe with a yard that my dogs absolutely adored. During the official visit they were great at keeping me posted throughout the day on my dogs activities. The pictures that Raymond took of my dogs were more amazing than anything I have ever taken (I’m seriously framing them as soon as I can). Usually when I see my dogs after a couple hours gone, they are overwhelmingly excited (as if they thought the world was going to end when I was gone), but this time they were so happy and relaxed that it was almost like they didn’t want to leave. I am so grateful for the experience that we had, and am so excited for them to watch our fur-babies again.”
About: Growing up we always had a dog in our family. I can’t imagine life without having one! Currently I have a rescue dog name Kali and she’s the best. All of my friends/ family ask me to dog sit for them when they’re out of town and I make sure I know their daily routine. I love taking Kali to dog parks and playing with a million other dogs! They make your day 100 times better! I’m available for dog walking and drop ins and I’ll keep you updated with pictures throughout the visit! I always love getting pictures of Kali living her best life getting a pupcup or going to brewhound while I was stuck at work. They deserve it(: Right now I’m working modified full time while I work on nursing school. My shifts are 12 hr and I typically work Thursday, Friday's and every third weekend. My schedule does vary weekly but I always have 3-5 days off at a time. Mondays and Tuesdays I’m available anytime as I don’t have work or school on those days. I’m available for morning-night for walks and some weekends. Currently I live in a condo so I take my dog on multiple walks a day and we also have a dog park in the condominium. She also has a brewhound and paws membership.
About: I have had dogs all my life and love their energy. I am now am a retiree and due to my travel schedule, I can’t have my own dog. So, I love helping people with their dogs. My schedule is wide open to meet your needs. I will block off dates that I may be traveling. I can do daily walks or overnights. I live on a cul-de-sac and within walking distance to a dog park. Your dog will be in a safe environment with someone that loves regular walks and am happy to have your dog sleep in our bed, a crate or whatever best fits your dog’s demeanor.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Sawgrass
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 6 years old and have experience watching both cats and dogs for families in my neighborhood. I’ve walked dogs while owners were out of town, cared for senior dogs, and babysat while also helping care for family pets. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available most days for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays, aside from a few times when I’ll be out of town. I can give pets lots of attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. I provide care in my client’s home and always follow their instructions to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, playtime, and any needed walks or care. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I am a responsible individual who has taken care of animals from different types of dogs, cats, goats, hamsters, etc. I am 26 years old and when I was receiving my bachelor's degree in Health Science , I would go to the humane society in my free time to foster the dogs or kittens from there. This would be a great bonding for the both of us and I had gained knowledge from the variety of breeds I've watched over the years. For a few examples, I have watched golden doodles, border collies, lab, golden retrievers, domestic shorthairs, pit bulls, German shepherds, etc. One summer for a few months I routinely took care of a blind and deaf cat and the other cat that was there. I accommodated to the special requirements of this specific cat to ensure she knew where her food/ water bowl was as well as her litter box. In the area where I had lived for a while, I was fostering an Australian shepherd who was older age and had bowel issues. They had given me the medication to take care of him and I felt comfortable and responsible enough to do so. During my week, I have structured hours for my job currently that allow flexibility for availability to watch your loving furballs! I am available for every evening and weekends I am available at any time. I stay active so I would be able to make sure your pet gets a healthy amount of exercise. As well having a routine structure for myself already allows the discipline and knowing that your pets would be fed on time. I am in a safe neighborhood, I live at a duplex that has a fenced-in decent-sized backyard. This allows easy access to their bathroom breaks and playtime with them. The neighborhood stays at a quiet volume and has areas to go on safe walks with the pets. I will ensure to keep to the schedule of their typical day-to-day routine so they feel as comfortable as possible and can still have some fun! I am responsive and will always have my phone or apple watch on me to receive text/calls asap.
“Kacie was awesome. This was my first time using Rover and I was very anxious at first but by the end of the week both my dogs and I were much more at ease - I definitely felt that I could trust her with my home and my pups . She went above and beyond to address anything I was concerned about and to make sure both of my pups were safe and happy. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her next time.”
“Dawn always answers so quickly and is very informative and helpful after every visit, even giving love to my kitties on a dog visit & filling up the water bowl after a walk :) much appreciated”

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. What sets me apart is the love and attention I give every pup as if they were my own—I don’t just “watch” dogs, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, long walks, or simply sitting by their side, I pay attention to their unique needs and personalities. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is not only in good hands, but also with someone who truly enjoys spending time with them. I currently work as a nanny three days a week, which gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your furry friend. My flexible schedule means I can give your pup the love, attention, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m coming to you, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. At my home, I have a fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for playtime and exercise, giving your dog plenty of room to run and explore safely. If I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine just the way they like it—whether that’s feeding, walks, or cuddle time. No matter where I’m caring for them, you can count on me to give them the same love and attention I would my own.

“Heather came for a meet and greet with Coco before we started our walks this week which was great. But on the first scheduled walk Coco was a little nervous and Heather really took the extra time Coco needed to feel comfortable with her. After just a short period Coco was ready to go outside and play with her.”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m 45 years old, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats starting when I was 9 years old, and over the years I’ve cared for cats as well as dogs of all sizes — from tiny 5 lb pups to large dogs over 150 lbs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, senior and slow-moving, or just loves attention and cuddles, I will treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I have experience with both small and large dogs, multiple-pet households, and cats with different temperaments. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, caring, and comfortable following your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walks, litter box care, playtime, medication reminders if needed, and giving updates so you know your pets are doing well. My schedule allows me to make pet care a priority, and I’m dependable about following each pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as close as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pets are cared for in the environment they already know. I give dogs and cats attention based on their personality, whether they need active play, gentle care, cuddles, or quiet companionship. Because I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes, from 5 lb dogs to dogs over 150 lbs, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to fit each pet. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals on my Granny’s farm, so caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my own home, we had three dogs and four cats, and animals were never just pets, they were family. My mom was a veterinary technician for 15 years, and she regularly brought home injured or recovering animals that needed rehabilitation. Through that experience, I learned how to safely handle pets in all kinds of situations and environments. She passed down extensive hands-on knowledge to me, including how to recognize warning signs, respond calmly in emergencies, and administer medications. I’ve even assisted with IV fluids for a dog when needed. Because of this background, I’m comfortable caring for pets who may need extra patience, medical attention, or routine based care. I bring more experience than the average sitter and take your pet’s safety, comfort, and while still giving them plenty of love, attention, and reassurance I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for early mornings, mid-day visits, evenings, and weekends. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I’m attentive to behavior changes, health needs, and comfort levels, especially for pets who may be anxious, senior, or require medical care. I keep the home clean and secure, ensure doors and gates are properly locked, and respect household rules at all times. I prioritize communication and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away
About: Have had dogs and cats. I’ve worked with senior dogs, puppies, every stage in between. I think it’s important to have a good time with your pets, and give them the best care possible. Life is hard, pets make it easier! :) I work from home, so the animals are always well attended to and cared for. I am never away for more than an hour or two, and am able to provide frequent updates whenever requested because of my schedule. I usually provide an update around feeding time (if they’re fed twice then twice a day) with pictures and or videos and a small update when they’ve eaten, how they’re doing, and any changes I ask the client to provide a schedule of what their pet is used to. Some pets have special diets, certain amount of food, certain feeding times, special treats, etc. In general, owners like having things done a certain way. I ask for the client to provide as much detail as possible, this way I can provide the best care.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. When I was a kid my mom always knew if there was a lost animal it would find me so she was not surprised when I brought random animals home. My very first job was at a vets office taking care of the boarded dogs. I have raised two large breed dogs and help a friend who is a dog trainer sometimes when he needs help and I learn a lot from him every time. I learned a lot while working in the vets office and love to continue to grow my knowledge with animals. I work full time at Mayo Clinic. I work almost any day and get off everyday 2:30. I am not married and don’t have any kids and my dogs stay with my parents while I am at work so I am flexible with my schedule. I have 3 clients I pet/house sit for year round when they travel. I also have 3 dogs myself, a yellow lab, Siberian husky and English cream retriever (they are like my kids). I have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember and I just love bonding with animals. I work full time in an office in Nocatee. I can also work from home as needed as long as I have notice. I prefer to work from home when pet sitting so the animals have someone with them. As long as there is Wifi, I can hang out with your babies all day! I love being able to stay at the pet's home. They do not have to be stressed going to a new location and being away from what they know. my very first job was at Sawgrass Animal Clinic when I was 15. I have always been very in tune with animals and their behaviors.

“I cannot recommend Carolyn enough! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dogs, Onyx and Rebel, with someone else, and I was incredibly nervous. Carolyn was amazing at putting my mind at ease. She handled Rebel’s high-energy personality perfectly and was so gentle with Onyx, who is much more timid. I loved receiving the daily updates and photos. Onyx enjoyed being able to relax on the couch like she does at home and Rebel loved having a choice of toys to play with. When I picked them up, they were both happy, relaxed, and 'smiling.' I’m so relieved to have found a sitter I can trust and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I highly recommend Viji, she made Rex a part of their family, and I could tell by the photo she sent that he was having a wonderful time and received lots of love.”
“I am very grateful to have found Danielle on Rover.com. My goldendoodle had a wonderful time with her in her home. She is kind and very sweet to our furry friends and I plan to work with her many times in the future.”
“Taqueria was super good with my baby boy! She was responsive and kind. Reassured me he was in good hands and took pictures and kept me updated. I would highly recommend her. She is super patient and understanding. I will be using her for future boarding. Home also was nice and clean🙃”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals and loved every second of it. At one point, we had five dogs and six puppies running around house. Being surrounded by dogs was such a special part of my childhood and helped shape my love for caring for them. Today, I have a 3 year old dachshund of my own who has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to know your baby is in safe and loving hands when you’re away. That’s why, on my days off, I enjoy providing that same peace of mind to other pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a full-time Nurse Practitioner student, my schedule can be busy, but spending time with dogs is one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy incorporating pet care into my weekly routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I find so much joy in being around dogs. They bring a special kind of happiness and comfort, and I love having the opportunity to care for them when their owners need a helping hand. have a home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise throughout the day. Inside, pets are treated like part of the family and are welcome to relax, play, and roam comfortably in a safe, supervised environment. I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and care they are accustomed to at home. Whether your pet loves playing outside, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having companionship, I will provide a loving and comfortable environment where they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Brooke was great! She sent me updates of our pups throughout the days & my pups left very happy. They got lots of snuggles and love and got treated as part of the fam!”
“Awesome experience!!! first time using this service and couldn’t have gotten any luckier when Chloe agreed to watch Mr brown after the initial meet up. My dog has a lot of anxiety when it comes to meeting new people so the first few days is a lot of patience while he gets adjusted to his temp home. But besides that I got constant updates how he was doing, and she was genuinely interested in the well being of my dog. It didn’t feel like someone was just doing this for the money, the person loves dogs!! I HIGHLY recommend them, my dog became himself and by the third day I was receiving pictures of my dog smiling and looking like he had a new home lol.”
“Joanne was great. She kept us up to date with Moxy, providing frequent pictures and updates. Our dog had a great stay and really enjoyed the large yard and got along well with her dog, Lola. Definitely recommend.”
“Lisa and David were amazing with my dog, Gwennie! Lisa took extra time to make her feel comfortable and right at home. They sent me regular updates with photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It was clear that Gwennie was well cared for and happy during her stay. I highly recommend Lisa and David for anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog boarding experience!”
“Catherine and her home were a great fit to watch my Stella! She was very communicative and made her feel right at home. We would absolutely use Catherine to board again!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with JoAnn as my dog sitter for my 6-month-old puppy, Buca! From the start, her communication was excellent, and throughout Buca’s stay I received thoughtful updates and the sweetest photos that showed just how much fun she was having. When I picked her up, she came home happy, healthy, clean, and perfectly tired out from a full day of play—it was clear she had the best time at JoAnn’s house. I felt so comfortable knowing my fur baby was being so well cared for, and I will definitely be using JoAnn again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy with our decision to leave George with Katie while we were overseas for our wedding for 2 weeks. It was obvious he was extremely happy in her care and alongside her dog, Maggie! She shared pictures and updates throughout the stay to keep us updated. It was nice knowing our dog George was having his own mini vacation while we were away missing him. 10/10 and will book with Katie again.”
“Hannah is so patient and kind. She made sure Ellie was happy and healthy during her stay, went above and beyond in her care, and was very communicative with me. I highly recommend her for any pup, especially if you need special accommodations for medical or behavioral issues.”
“They were exceptional sitters who kept me up to date everyday. Jasper loved all the playtime and attention he got. Would definitely recommend.”
“David is fantastic and we’d highly recommend he and his family for dog sitting. Our dog Winston received lots of love and got plenty of exercise during his 3 night stay! Great spacious lanai and yard for playing. He also sent photos which we enjoyed getting. We could tell Winston was treated like family and we would 100% request David anytime we go away!”
“Our two dogs stayed with Yessica and Ray and had an awesome time. They gave us consistent updates and lots of photos. Our dogs had a great time, and we felt like we didn’t have to worry at all while they were with Bold City Doggos. They were in high spirits when we picked them up and slept like babies after having so much fun. We look forward to booking with Yessica and Ray for future travel.”
“Both her and her daughter did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She is responsive, sends videos of the walks with the pup, and is a genuinely nice woman. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
