“Patience was incredible to work with this weekend. I always get a little nervous leaving my dog with people but she calmed my nerves right away. She was very communicative, sent pictures and I know my little guy was in great hands! I would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for boarding!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Aaron. Our dog was so cared for and his flexibility to meet our needs was unmatched. Will not hesitate to use Aaron again!”
“We contacted super last minute, got a response and was able to drop off my babies within an hour or two. This was a first time leaving our babies with someone and I’m so grateful to have found Marina! She is very friendly, confident and knowledgeable about animals and I felt very at ease leaving my babies with her. She sent me updates and pictures without even having to ask too which made me happy! Thank you SO MUCH again!”
“Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!”
“Alissa is fantastic. She took very good care of our little chihuahua Lilo. I loved getting the picture updates and communication was top notch. She got back to me very quickly on every text or message I sent. Her house is pet friendly in a great location. Lilo doesn't like most people. She seemed to bond with Alissa, which is saying something about her. It tells me, she is kind, loving and trustworthy. Which I'd the only way to get Lilo to like you. I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again, and would highly recommend her as the perfect fit for taking care of any dog. Thank you Alissa for taking such good care of little Lilo!! AAAA++++”
“Ashton was great, I was very nervous using this service, but she is awesome. She sent pictures, gave her a bath at the end of the stay, and my puppy was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Definitely will be using this service and Ashton again.”
“My plans for someone to watch my dogs feel through last minute and Annie saved my trip. Luna Roxie were well cared for and came home tired and happy. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely try to use her. Thanks for loving them and keeping them safe Anne. You're awesome!”
About: What sets me apart is my medical background and hands-on animal experience across a wide range of species. I worked veterinarian settings for 6-10 years, so I’m comfortable monitoring health changes, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Safety and attentiveness come naturally to me. I also hold a Bachelors in agriculture, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and proper husbandry. I regularly foster puppies and dogs, as well as cats and kittens, so I’m experienced with: • Potty training & crate training • Socialization and basic obedience • Bottle feeding & neonatal care • Senior pet comfort and mobility support Your pets won’t just be watched — they’ll be understood, monitored, and genuinely cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are centered around caring for others — which makes pet visits a natural and dedicated part of my routine. I structure my schedule around reliable drop-ins, giving each pet calm, unhurried attention and consistent care throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, administer medications if needed, and provide attentive companionship tailored to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playtime, enrichment, quiet company, or extra cuddles. I’m respectful of your home, clean in my habits, and mindful of details. I send consistent updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Brittany is the #1 dog sitter. She really treats our pups like her own, even understanding their different personalities and ticks. It feels like they’re at a retreat with her, which gives us great peace of mind when we travel. Thank you!”
“Valerie made our little angel feel welcome and right at home during her stay. You could not ask for a better sitter. Everything worked out well. Valerie deserves an excellent rating. 5 stars. Thank you Valerie!”
“Reya is amazing! I left my dog with her for 2 weeks, and I have never felt so reassured and comfortable. This isn't something I've done often and was so hard for me to leave Woody for 2 weeks, but Reya was so patient and it was so obvious she cared. Will 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants a trusted and caring person to look after their dog.”
“Angela did a great job of taking care of Watson. I picked him up happy and healthy. He really enjoyed playing with her dogs and kids and the pics she shared with me daily showed how comfortable and content he seemed there.”
“Our poodles stayed with Cathryn for 4 days/3 nights and seemed to have enjoyed their stay. Yogi got some big dog playtime in and would be happy to visit again. I usually travel with him but this was a girl’s birthday trip to Vegas, so… Thanks so much Cathryn. I don’t trust just anybody to care for our boys and you did a great job!”

“Very good pet sitter, always kept me updated early in the morning and even brought some ant catchers to take care of our ant problem so Pandora wouldn’t have to deal with it. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pets for a long period of time.”
“Thank you so much, Breana. All my fur babies are in great shape and the place looks so clean thank you so much for everything. Nothing like having a piece of mind leaving my fur babies behind.😺”
“Brittany was kind and courteous. She came to meet our pets beforehand and was flexible with our schedules. Brittany is very warm and our pets felt comfortable and safe with her. Thank you Brittany!”
“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”

About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.
About: I have had pets in my life ever since I was little. So I love helping take care of them. I also am very good with puppies and teaching them new tricks, and helping with potty train. I also love helping keep dogs very active, or just chill with them and cuddle! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of free time. All days of the week are good for me. I’m even available on weekends if needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a dog of my own, who loves to play with others and gets along with all sizes. He loves to share his toys or just play together. Or if it’s in your own home, anywhere your fur baby loves to play! I also have dog parks around for your baby to play with or without others, and a nice neighborhood to walk around. Or we can walk around your neighborhood as well!
“Skylynn did a special request stay for me, spending two hours with my dogs. My Great Pyrenees had oral surgery two days ago and I didn’t want him ripping out his stitches again out of anxiety from being put into his crate. She was wonderful with my three dogs, playing outside and giving them all the love they demanded.”
“Alyssa was awesome! We came home to a cat that was not nearly as needy as when we had left him home alone before, which is great because it means he wasn't as lonely while we were gone.”
“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”

“This was our very first experience with Rover. We brought our two fur babies with us to PCB. We had rescued our second just two weeks prior, which didn't give us any plan time once we got to PCB. Lyudmila was quick to respond. We agreed on details and she made everything go smoothly. She and her husband even came to pick both of them up on the first day. We got frequent updates and pics. We would definitely use her again!”

“We were so lucky to get Tessa to dog sit Max. She spoiled him as much as we do. Max was so happy to go to the next day, so I knew she past the test for a great sitter! We are from out of town, and had to schedule the last minute! What a great experience 😍”

About: Lifelong owner - Great Dane, Pit-bull, Puggle, German Shepherd + cats. I grew up with a Great Dane (gentle giants + large breed care), a Pit-bull (high energy, strong, total love bug – Big on positive reinforcement), a Puggle (small dog sass + sniffy walks), and cats, so I’m comfortable with any size, breed or personality. I currently have a German Shepherd, who is friendly, social, and great with other dogs. He’s up-to-date on vaccines and loves having playmates. Your dog will get a built-in buddy for supervised play in our big fenced backyard, but I always do slow introductions and can keep them separate if needed for meals/naps. If your dog refers people only, just let me know and I’ll manage it. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 – boarding, daycare, walks, droppings, puppies to seniors. Very comfortable with basic training: sit, stay, crate, training, potty training, leash, manners, no jumping, and sticking to your routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home all day. Dogs here get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in the backyard, lots of exercise, photo updates, and never left alone for long. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care is my full daily routine and I’m home 24/7. Dogs get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in our big fenced backyard, morning and afternoon play sessions, walks, training practice, and lots of cuddles. I have a friendly German Shepherd who loves play buddies, and we spend most of the day outside. Available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week, including holidays. Safety is my top priority. Big fully fenced backyard with supervised play only – dogs are never outside alone. Small, clean, dog-proofed home, dogs never left alone long. Slow introductions with my friendly German Shepherd, separate feeding/sleeping if needed. Daily photo and video updates, I follow your feeding and crate routine exactly, and happy to do Meet and Greets first. I believe pets are just people with fur ❤️
About: We own one dog and had two dogs before that. Dogs feel comfortable and loved here. No matter if short or long stays and big or small, old or young dog - there's always room and fun to be had. My husband and I grew up with dogs and can't be without. We have toys and some treats but individual dog-approved is always better. When boarding a dog over a time period that requires feeding I expect food to be provided. While I take any dog and treat it like my own I need to know in advance if there are medical or behavioral issues. I'm a stay-at-home mom of four little ones (10-2yo) We get up early every morning and go to bed rather late. I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog and my kids grew up with dogs so know how to treat/ not treat dogs. I can also separate dogs if needed. Dogs are always loosely supervised. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling 3 out of 4 kids and so am extremely flexible to all needs of your fur baby. My yard is fenced in for drop-offs that enjoy outside and we have a separate room if a dog requires a calmer environment than the business of a bigger family. I grew up with various dogs and sized dogs. I know how to handle most tempers that are not aggressive. I understand every dog has its own personality and timeline. We have two cars so I am available to drive out for drop-ins and walking.
“Our puppy enjoyed her time with Destini! This is our first time leaving her in care and Destini made sure to communicate with us and send pictures. We couldn't be more happy! Destini is kind and made the experience so easy. Definitely coming back in the future!”
“Katrina was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her! 💕”
“Aurora kept my 2 dogs, one of which is on the nervous anxious side . Her assuring manner went over well with me as well as my dog. She texted and sent pics couple hrs after my leaving showing they had adapted . I appreciated the reassurance. My reservation was also rather last minute and she was very accommodating to my hrs . We dropped off at 9 and didn’t p:u till 6 . I will definitely recommend her and use again when in area .”
About: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.
“I highly recommend Valerie. This was my first time using Rover and was apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with someone I didn't know. Not only did she take wonderful care of Brea but she sent multiple pictures showing us how her day was going. When you meet Valerie you can see how passionate she is with the animals she cares for. Valerie is very welcoming, and after meeting her you will feel like shes a good friend you have had most of your life.”
About: Yes, I mean all of them! Pet care is my full time hobby and job. I have experience with nearly every kind of pet, from cats and dogs of any size to birds, fish, and exotics like reptiles, amphibians, and inverts! 🐈🐟🦎 I started caregiving when I was 14 and my love for animals has truly shaped who I am today at 20. I feel gifted for each and every 4 or more-legged family member I get to meet! 💗 I'm available any day, any time! If I'm not spending time with someone else's pet for work, then I'm hanging out with my own. This is my life and my passion 💖 I have a large, fenced in yard, a friendly dog and 2 cats for your babies to hang out with! There are two young children (7&9) at my house who are ready to assist in giving endless amounts of attention and play to your energetic pets in addition to quiet areas for those who are more shy to stay comfortable! 😊 Of course, toys and treats provided 💕

About: What sets me apart is my medical background and hands-on animal experience across a wide range of species. I worked veterinarian settings for 6-10 years, so I’m comfortable monitoring health changes, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Safety and attentiveness come naturally to me. I also hold a Bachelors in agriculture, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and proper husbandry. I regularly foster puppies and dogs, as well as cats and kittens, so I’m experienced with: • Potty training & crate training • Socialization and basic obedience • Bottle feeding & neonatal care • Senior pet comfort and mobility support Your pets won’t just be watched — they’ll be understood, monitored, and genuinely cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are centered around caring for others — which makes pet visits a natural and dedicated part of my routine. I structure my schedule around reliable drop-ins, giving each pet calm, unhurried attention and consistent care throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, administer medications if needed, and provide attentive companionship tailored to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playtime, enrichment, quiet company, or extra cuddles. I’m respectful of your home, clean in my habits, and mindful of details. I send consistent updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I was raised in Colorado, spending my summers with all types of animals from dogs, cats, goats, cows, horses, and chickens. I am very comfortable around animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of all ages of both dogs and cats from kittens and puppies to senior pets (Thanks Mom and Dad!). I have experience training basic commands to puppies, working with anxious dogs, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications to puppies, special needs, or senior dogs. I am very reliable and aim to provide the best service to every pet and pet parent. I'm patient, kind and love animals. I recently switched from watching pets full-time back to technical writing with the Navy. I have an early schedule that allows me to spend a good part of the day with your pets. While I am at work, I have Furbo cameras set up so I can keep an eye on everyone and throw them treats if they are feeling restless. I have it set up where my dogs will be kept separate to ensure safety. I live in a 3-bedroom home with a large fenced yard and swimming pool. My entryway has double doors that adds a second layer of security for pets during drop-off and pick-up. I have 3 dogs of my own that are very friendly as we have been doing this for quite some time. The two little dogs keep to themselves as they are older. My golden loves every one and every thing. She makes for the perfect playmate. In case your dog is over-stimulated or just needs a break, I have a way to separate my dogs using baby gates so that we are all still together in the same living area but can rest. I also have four crates here, if needed. Safety is my number one priority!

“We contacted super last minute, got a response and was able to drop off my babies within an hour or two. This was a first time leaving our babies with someone and I’m so grateful to have found Marina! She is very friendly, confident and knowledgeable about animals and I felt very at ease leaving my babies with her. She sent me updates and pictures without even having to ask too which made me happy! Thank you SO MUCH again!”
“Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!”
“Alissa is fantastic. She took very good care of our little chihuahua Lilo. I loved getting the picture updates and communication was top notch. She got back to me very quickly on every text or message I sent. Her house is pet friendly in a great location. Lilo doesn't like most people. She seemed to bond with Alissa, which is saying something about her. It tells me, she is kind, loving and trustworthy. Which I'd the only way to get Lilo to like you. I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again, and would highly recommend her as the perfect fit for taking care of any dog. Thank you Alissa for taking such good care of little Lilo!! AAAA++++”
“Ashton was great, I was very nervous using this service, but she is awesome. She sent pictures, gave her a bath at the end of the stay, and my puppy was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Definitely will be using this service and Ashton again.”
“My plans for someone to watch my dogs feel through last minute and Annie saved my trip. Luna Roxie were well cared for and came home tired and happy. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely try to use her. Thanks for loving them and keeping them safe Anne. You're awesome!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Brittany is the #1 dog sitter. She really treats our pups like her own, even understanding their different personalities and ticks. It feels like they’re at a retreat with her, which gives us great peace of mind when we travel. Thank you!”
“Angela did a great job of taking care of Watson. I picked him up happy and healthy. He really enjoyed playing with her dogs and kids and the pics she shared with me daily showed how comfortable and content he seemed there.”
“Our poodles stayed with Cathryn for 4 days/3 nights and seemed to have enjoyed their stay. Yogi got some big dog playtime in and would be happy to visit again. I usually travel with him but this was a girl’s birthday trip to Vegas, so… Thanks so much Cathryn. I don’t trust just anybody to care for our boys and you did a great job!”
“I would highly recommend Rob and Wendy! They were both incredibly kind and caring to my dog. They kept me up to date on how my dog was doing, which was very fun to see pictures of what he was up to! Lastly, they are great people who love dogs!”
“Jessie was excellent! She was very responsive to my messages and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. My dog has separation anxiety and can be a little nervous when I’m away, but Jessie handled it with so much patience and care. I could tell my pup felt comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
About: Yes, I mean all of them! Pet care is my full time hobby and job. I have experience with nearly every kind of pet, from cats and dogs of any size to birds, fish, and exotics like reptiles, amphibians, and inverts! 🐈🐟🦎 I started caregiving when I was 14 and my love for animals has truly shaped who I am today at 20. I feel gifted for each and every 4 or more-legged family member I get to meet! 💗 I'm available any day, any time! If I'm not spending time with someone else's pet for work, then I'm hanging out with my own. This is my life and my passion 💖 I have a large, fenced in yard, a friendly dog and 2 cats for your babies to hang out with! There are two young children (7&9) at my house who are ready to assist in giving endless amounts of attention and play to your energetic pets in addition to quiet areas for those who are more shy to stay comfortable! 😊 Of course, toys and treats provided 💕
About: Lifelong owner - Great Dane, Pit-bull, Puggle, German Shepherd + cats. I grew up with a Great Dane (gentle giants + large breed care), a Pit-bull (high energy, strong, total love bug – Big on positive reinforcement), a Puggle (small dog sass + sniffy walks), and cats, so I’m comfortable with any size, breed or personality. I currently have a German Shepherd, who is friendly, social, and great with other dogs. He’s up-to-date on vaccines and loves having playmates. Your dog will get a built-in buddy for supervised play in our big fenced backyard, but I always do slow introductions and can keep them separate if needed for meals/naps. If your dog refers people only, just let me know and I’ll manage it. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 – boarding, daycare, walks, droppings, puppies to seniors. Very comfortable with basic training: sit, stay, crate, training, potty training, leash, manners, no jumping, and sticking to your routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home all day. Dogs here get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in the backyard, lots of exercise, photo updates, and never left alone for long. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care is my full daily routine and I’m home 24/7. Dogs get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in our big fenced backyard, morning and afternoon play sessions, walks, training practice, and lots of cuddles. I have a friendly German Shepherd who loves play buddies, and we spend most of the day outside. Available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week, including holidays. Safety is my top priority. Big fully fenced backyard with supervised play only – dogs are never outside alone. Small, clean, dog-proofed home, dogs never left alone long. Slow introductions with my friendly German Shepherd, separate feeding/sleeping if needed. Daily photo and video updates, I follow your feeding and crate routine exactly, and happy to do Meet and Greets first. I believe pets are just people with fur ❤️
