I highly recommended Brad for your pet, no matter the age or breed.”

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
“5/5 – Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! 🌟 Molly was an absolute gem as our cat and house sitter. From the moment we met for the meet & greet, she came across as so professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — she instantly put our minds at ease. She asked all the right questions, took detailed notes, and made us feel completely confident leaving our home and our shy boy, Black Fury, in her hands. During the sit, she went above and beyond in every way. Black Fury (who normally hides from anyone new for days) warmed up to her beautifully — I still can’t quite believe it! We received lovely regular updates with little stories about their day, which meant the world to us while we were away. Our home was looked after with such care, everything was spotless, and it honestly felt like Molly was just another member of the household. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, kind, and capable. It was truly a pleasure having her in our home, and we would welcome her back with open arms in a heartbeat. We’re already looking forward to booking her again next time we travel! Thank you so much, Molly — you’re the best! 🐾🏡”
About: Although I started as a dog person, I fell in love with cats when I started cat-sitting for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old. now, I have two cats that live with me (Oliver and Zelda) and another cat (Bailey) that lives with my best friend (we have shared custody). I’m an expert in cleaning litter boxes, feeding, tiring out cats with playtime, and administering medications (pills and topicals, not trained in injections). I have taught all three of my cats fetch so your furbaby may want to play when you get back home!
“Renee was once again awesome. My cat, Juice, is very comfortable with her and she’s gives all the right details when filling out the reports at the end of every visit. Highly recommend!”
About: As a child/teen, I walked, fed, bathed and walked pets for my friends, family and neighbors. My family has always had multiple pets of all sorts. Animal loving runs in my blood! Although I work full time (M-F 8-5), my lunch breaks are flexible and I will work those around whatever is needed of me. I also do drop ins and walks after 5:00. Weekends are very open. I promise to follow any guidelines, restrictions, etc you have set for your pet. Pets are family. I have my own and treat them the same as my children & how I would want someone to take care of my family.
“Briana has done a great job looking after our kitties. We had to leave town suddenly due to a family emergency, and she stepped right in to care for them. While we were gone there were terrible thunder storms, but she made sure the kitties felt safe. Thank you!!”
About: I have worked at a doggy boarding and daycare facility for eight years. I have been managing for three of those eight years. I have cared for numerous breeds and dogs of all ages. I do have a soft spot for elderly dogs, but do love walking and playing with younger, energetic dogs as well. As a result of my years of experience, I am capable of giving all forms of medication, making meals (dry, canned, homemade, raw, etc), and I have worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I have started this little business because I have seen how much happier pets are when they are cozy at home compared to a boarding facility, especially if they are prone to anxiety when they are away from home. I, myself, own a corgi named Clancy. He is a very happy little boy. I am off from my other job from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday. I have appointments every other Thursday from 11 to 1:30, but aside from that, I'm free. Walking and drop-ins work best for my schedule as they are the most flexible jobs offered here. I will walk your dogs wherever you feel comfortable. If they have a beloved route, I will keep them on it. During drop-ins, I will adhere to any instructions you have. At my place of work, I follow food and care instructions (that always vary) daily.
“My smart lock was not working and Ariana contacted me immediately to figure out how to resolve the issue to ensure my dog was taken care of. She is so considerate and an excellent sitter.”
“We’re so glad we found Sam through the Rover app! She agreed to care for our grand-kitty Mando on pretty short notice and provided him with care that was beyond expectation. She sent sweet pics of him at the conclusion of each drop-in visit which reassured us that he was receiving thorough attention. I love that the pics captured her petting and playing with him and he looked super happy! We travel a lot and will definitely be using Sam again in the very near future. SHE WAS AWESOME!”
About: I’ve volunteered several summers in row washing kennels and food bowls playing with the kittens and post them on social media to help get them adopted. I have two dogs of my own and have taken care of multiple animals at once. I can and will gladly work any day and I will care for your furry family as if they are my own. Your furry friends are safe in my care! However, I do work a 1-10pm job, typical 8 hour shifts! I take my dog for regular walks and to the groomers I brush him daily and make sure he is comfortable in his harness and leash. I am able to effectively use commands that your dog is used to. And can give tips are effective ways of to teach commands and keeping them safe and happy.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence. I currently care for five dogs of my own, all with different personalities and needs, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, walks, feeding schedules, medications and individual care. I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.
“I was super anxious about leaving Ajax for the first time with someone that wasn’t family but Samantha calmed the nerves upon meeting. Ajax was well taken care of for the weekend away and I really appreciated that. You can tell she truly cares for the animals.”
“Bianca did a great job with my senior cat. She provided photos and video, updates about him and even cleaned up after him. She was also kind enough to put out the litter on trash day. I would definitely recommend Bianca.”
“We were so lucky to have Gillian as our cat sitter for Black Fury! She took wonderful care of our incredibly shy and skittish boy, and we were amazed at how well he warmed up to her gentle and caring approach. Gillian kept our home tidy, the litter boxes clean, and showed such conscientious attention to every detail. She’s truly a gem, and we’re thrilled to have her as our go-to sitter from now on. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!”
“Thank you Tara. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of. I appreciate booking her last minute. We usually can have family watch our pups, but we will definitely call Tara again if we need a sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Spuds
“I highly recommend Lisa. It's always difficult to find someone to take care of pets last minute during the holidays. She responded quickly and welcomed my Suki with a lot of love. Thank you Lisa”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”
About: Note: our rating is only under 5 stars because we fell behind with updating the app when we had several life changes in 2023. However we have nothing but positive reviews! I have taken care of dogs on and off since childhood. My wife and I both love dogs and have enjoyed taking care of our own two dogs. We spend tons of time walking them, taking them to the park, and cuddling with them. Your dog would receive the same love, attention, care, and prioritization as we give our two. One of us is always home. My wife works from home during the day, and I'm home in the late afternoons and all evening. We take our dogs out frequently and are able to attend to any of your pet's needs throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard on over an acre of property. We also are happy to take frequent walks or trips to the park of your dog has high energy needs. We have a large home with plenty of indoor space as well. Jacquelin is a stay at home mom to our 5 year old son with lots of help from extended family. Pet care can therefore be prioritized during the day, and Shannon is home in the evening and weekends and loves spending that free time playing with the dogs in our care. Pet needs are definitely able to be (and are) prioritized. Pets are given lots of attention, we make that it's not just their basic needs are attended to, but also that they get lots of extra love and attention! We are both meticulous in our attention to detail and will make sure all needs and wants are met. Jacquelin is a stay at home mom with lots of help with our 5 year old son with extended family, so she has plenty of time and flexibility to meet your pet’s needs! We have a completely fenced in yard. All of our dogs are friendly, however I tend to air on the side of caution and keep dogs separated generally, especially if the pet parent prefers.
“Mariana was such a WONDERFUL sitter for old Hilbert!! She took him for 2 walks, dried him off after getting stuck in the rain, and treated him like he belonged to her! If we are ever in St Augustine again, I will definitely use her again!”
“Molly is very kind and took excellent care of our special needs dog, Bandit. She keeps a super clean environment and goes the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”

“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail.

I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“Nycole was an excellent communicator and is very dog savvy. She was particularly patient with our shy boy Waldo and did not push any boundaries. Her two business partners (dogs) were gracious host and would get along with any dog. We will be using her again for an overnight boarding in the next few weeks.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic dog walking service provided by William for my beloved Coco. As a dog owner, finding a reliable and caring walker is crucial, and William has exceeded all expectations!! From day one, William has been incredibly dependable. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, rain or shine. Knowing that Coco is in good hands gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work or school. Communication with William is seamless. He is always responsive to messages, and he proactively updates me on Coco's walks. I appreciate the occasional photos he sends – they brighten up my day and allow me to see Coco enjoying her time with him :) Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend William as a dog walker for any fur parent. His genuine love for dogs, combined with his professionalism and reliability, makes him an outstanding choice. Coco is in great hands with William, and I am grateful to have him as a trusted dog walker. Thank you, William, for providing such exceptional care and love to Coco on her walks!”
“Shannon was great with our dogs. He realized that the girls are a bit shy when meeting new people and didn’t try and force them to be immediately ok with him. We look forward to continuing having Shannon help us out with walks here and there.”
About: I've been an animal lover ever since I was a kid, so much so that I wanted to be a vet at the age of 5. I grew up with animals in the house (dogs, cats, and fish) and started taking care of them as soon as I was old enough. aside from nannying, my first job was dog walking/sitting and to this day it is still something I enjoy doing. I have 15+ years of experience in dog walking, feeding, safety, and administering medication (pills and topicals, not trained in injections). I love all breeds and am a highly active individual so I hope your furbaby is ready to play! My schedule is mostly open. I’m unavailable on weekdays from 9 am to 1 pm but could potentially squeeze in a quick visit from 8:30-9 if needed. My weekday afternoons and evenings are mostly open. Weekends are usually pretty open as well! I do travel about once a month, but I will be sure to reach out ahead of time and/or block it out in the app. Your pet's safety is my top priority while they’re in my care and I will treat them as if they are my own. that being said, they will have my full attention throughout our visit. in addition, I love taking pictures of the animals I care for so I will be sending updates!
About: Growing up we had 17 golden retrievers. 14 of them were puppies. I now have two of my own and love to be around them. My family has been involved in training.

I am always available and try to accommodate in any way I can. I appreciate hanging out with animals and doing everything I can for them. I am CPR certified for dogs. Me and my children enjoy animals so if we aren’t doing school work, or helping other animals I am outside training or practicing with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard so my dogs and I are always outside playing. They love to play with the toys and run. We practice training a lot of the time.

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. Cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, bearded dragons— you name it. I've done pet setting during high school, and now that I'm going to college soon, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have the most experience working with cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and recently had an elder dog for many years. I've volunteered at the humane society for fostering, so I can take care of kittens as well if needed. I have a very open schedule since I just recently graduated. I'm available to come over and check on pets between 9am-9pm any day of the week. I have open availability for house sitting as well, but for more info please feel free to contact me! I always make sure the pets are healthy and happy whenever I see them. I can clean up any messes or accidents they may have made, and I can give medicine in their food or orally. If your pet is a little skittish at first, it's not a problem! I'll let them come to me at their own pace so they won't get scared, and I'll be sure to offer plenty of treats as well.

I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.
About: I am an animal lover. I have had cats all my life, and dogs for most of it. Big, small, furry, I can help you! At the moment I work remotely and will soon start as a substitute teacher, so I anticipate having a fair amount of free time on my hands. I have been caring for cats, dogs for over 30 years (I'm 35 and I've been doing it my entire life). I would love to play tug-o-war, fetch, snuggle with kitty, or whatever they want to do!
About: I love animals. I understand how much work they can be but also know how much love they provide. Whether you work long hours or travel for work, let me help. I love being outside, the park and the beach. I can throw a ball or snuggle with the best. I have no problem giving baths and grooming needs. I am responsible, reliable, punctual, loving, and caring. I can walk to your house downtown.I have no problem coming to your home and caring for your pets. I have a pooch of my own. It is easier for me to come to you. I would love to be a part of your doggy routine whether it is daily, weekly, monthly, or as you need it. I am here for your convenience! Currently only working part time. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. I can do multiple drop ins in a day or stay at your house to help in whatever way your fur baby needs! My biggest concern is the welfare of your animals. I don’t want to be without food or clean water and your fur babies shouldn’t have to either.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
About: As an animal lover and pet owner myself, I have had the joy of caring for cats and dogs for many years. I have experience in feeding, walking, and caring for young and old pets, and in doing so I have earned the trust in neighbors, friends, and family. I am excited to bring the same care to you and your pets! I am currently staying at home and caring for my son, so my schedule is pretty open for the time of day that is needed. I care for pets by checking up on them for whatever is needed. If they need to be walked, checked on, or in need of some love. I love animals and would do anything that they need to thrive!

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and started professionally pet sitting about 10 years ago when I retired. I have a fenced yard and can also walk your dogs throughout in my neighborhood if it’s under 50 lbs (for safety reasons). I’m 75 and am home during the day to cuddle your furry babies! Most days, I’ll go out to run errands or go to the gym. I like to take a walk in the morning by myself around my neighborhood. I’m at home the rest of the day usually unless I have an appointment. I have a fenced backyard and a screened in porch. I don’t require a crate for your dog or cat as long as they are potty trained.
“Nicole and her daughters were SO GOOD to my Millie. I received a lot of photos with texts letting me know how she was doing. Millie spent 5 days with Nicole who kept her so busy that she slept as soon as we got home. We will rebook when we need someone to take care of our girl. ❤️”
“Mango stayed with Mary for a week, and everything went great! This was our first time using her, and she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. She kept us updated, and it was clear Mango was well taken care of and having a good time. We will be using Mary again in the future!”
