“Jackie and her family were amazing sitters for our dog LuLu, Jackie kept me well informed of how LuLu was doing and they treated her like she was their own. They have a beautiful setting and have really thought of everything and clearly very experienced in being able to care well for your dog. I would absolutely use them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to others.”
“Absolutely one of the best sitters I ever had. Adrienne treated my dog as her own. I was so pleased with photos and updates everyday. I felt confident that my dog was treated just like I treat her. Highly reccommend. Definitely will have her take care of my Maddie again.”
“This was the second time Mary has kept Sadie for me and I wish I could leave 10 stars. She and Marc are exceptional. They both love dogs and it definitely shows in the care they provide. I love all the updates and adorable pictures they texted me each day. Thank you both for taking such great care of Sadie.”
“Alia was awesome with the dogs and provided me with several updates and photos while I was away! You can tell she is an animal lover and took great care of my fur babies! I definitely plan on using her in the future!!!”
“We were evacuated from hurricane Mathew from the Melbourne area. I took my dogs with me. Well, after Mathew passed I had a wedding to go to that I could not bring the dogs too on the west oast of Florida. I found Nola on this sight, Rover.com. With out knowing her at all, she responded and took in my dogs within two hours. I was in a slight state of panic. After meeting her and her husband, I was so happy and relieved. SHe sent me pictures of the dogs having fun throughout their stay. Nola and her husband are Godsends and anytime I go to the west coast with the dogs, my dogs are staying with her. Nice fenced in yard, other dogs to play with......My dogs were relaxed and happy when I picked them up. I was very, very pleased and I absolutely recommend Nola if you need a dog sitter.”
“Needed to board our dog max for 2 weeks during an international trip at the last minute. They were both very friendly and accommodating of our dog! Will definitely book again!”
“They took great care of our 4-year old poodle. They sent many videos and updates throughout the stay that gave us peace of mind and let us know that he was in good hands. We would definitely use them again!”
“I had a family emergency, so there was no meet and greet. In a moments notice, Charles stepped in and picked up my two dogs and kept them at his home for a week. He sent me pictures and reassured me my dogs were being well cared for. When I picked them up they had been freshly bathed and were happy. Thank you for being there when I needed you most!”
“Will definitely contact Maria for all future fur-sitting needs. I was skeptical of using Rover but was in a last minute pinch. Maria was so great! Fred looked happy upon pick up. He looks well taken care of and she also sent me daily pictures and updates throughout the week.”
“Shayla is amazing. Everything as promised. She took my jumping, high energy 1 year old Aussie mix into her home and property like an adopted fur child. Rumi had fur mates to play with, a yard and pool to run around in, and a lap to snuggle with. He was safe in experienced hands. He even pulled her on her skate board to burn off energy! Thank you Shayla! We feel lucky to have found you!”
“My dogs love staying with Katie. They always have a great time and get lots of snuggles. Katie is always good with communication and sending photos. Definitely recommend!”

For the past 8 years we’ve enjoyed furry friends through Rover as“MOM & POP’S PET SITTING SERVICE.” Top Rover Reviews. I am starting anew on my own through Rover as “PAPA’S PET SERVICE.” Sorry, I don’t sit cats. look forward to sharing time with your little doggy guy or girl some time soon.❤️🐶 Since. My wife’s passing, I am alone & retired. Looking to share some time with dogs again. I live in a courtyard villa that is a wall protected playground.

“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
“Kelly made Zeus very comfortable and got plenty of exercise. We will definitely book with Kelly in future. I have a neighbor that will be reaching out as soon as I give her the information. Thank you Kelly.”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“Stephany and Jean took care of my pup as if she was their own. Im trully grateful to find them and that they were so kind with my dog while we were away. Would deff recommend. Thank you for a great service.”
“Krista has been watching my pup for over a year now and she’s probably stayed with her 8 times or so. I cannot say enough good things about her! Whether it’s for a quick weekend or over a week her communication is top notch. Her pupdates are the highlight of my day! Don’t even get me started on her pictures. Some of the best pics I have of my dog came from Krista. She goes above and beyond to care for my fur baby and even cleaned her raised food bowls for me so that they came back nicer than I left them. It’s definitely the little things that always make me schedule repeatedly with her! I can’t imagine leaving my pup with anyone else.”
“I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! She watched my dog, Biggie, for two weeks while I was in Europe, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Jennifer went above and beyond to keep Biggie happy and active, he got to play in the water, go on adventures, and enjoy all sorts of fun activities. She was incredibly accommodating and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. When I came home, Biggie was happy, healthy, and clearly had an amazing time. If you’re looking for someone responsible, loving, and trustworthy to care for your dog, Jennifer is the one!”

About: I’ve had cats in the past and cared for them deeply as part of my home, including a rescue cat who was incredibly sweet and affectionate—we loved him very much and he was truly part of our family. Currently, I care for a stray cat named Whiskers, making sure he is fed, safe, and comfortable every day. This has given me experience with independent and outdoor cats, as well as understanding their behavior and needs. Living in Florida, I’ve also experienced emergency situations like hurricanes with pets, so I take safety and preparedness very seriously. Your cat’s well-being, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. What sets me apart is the level of attention and genuine care I give. I don’t just stop by—I take time to observe how each cat is doing, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for.

About: I’ve been volunteering at animal rehab facilities since I was 10 and I’ve worked my way up to wildlife internships in the amazon rainforest just last year, so I have plenty of experience with animals from household pets to less common exotics ! Household pets I have most experience in are Cats, Dogs, Small mammals and Reptiles and I’m well educated in proper cleaning, meal preparation and grooming. I have a heart for animals and i can’t wait to meet yours! 😊🐶 I’m currently managing a temporary health setback and seem to have a lot of time on my hands! I’m available 9 am - 12a during the week and weekends is full availability to keep your pet safe and entertained. I have a fenced in yard and screened porch and I only let my cat roam leashed under close supervision so that he doesn’t get into anything and I didn’t notice. I Always ask what the owner is comfortable with whether it’s crating or going on walks around the yard prior but I also understand some pets need more attention than others and that’s okay! I never have anything toxic in reach and keep my house stocked with plenty of toys and treats to keep your pet happy and healthy.

About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have extensive experience caring for cats with medical needs, including diabetes, thyroid disease, feeding tubes, and medications. I also grew up caring for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two cats, Winnie and Luna, who are incredibly loved and spoiled. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption. Helping animals feel safe, loved, and confident enough to find their forever homes is incredibly rewarding, and it’s one of my greatest passions. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet them! As a teacher, my availability changes throughout the year! During summer, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide daytime, and extended care. During the school year, I’m available on evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to caring for your pets when you need a helping hand! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and favorite activities, so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, playtime, enrichment, and attention, while always respecting your home and following your care instructions closely. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Matt filled in for our regular dog walker and he was excellent!!! Our dog really like him and would wait patiently for him to arrive. He helped us out so much. We will definitely use him again when we need someone.”
About: I’m a recent Washington State University graduate with over four years of housesitting experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I grew up with both a Yorkie and a Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’ve cared for puppies as young as two months old through senior dogs up to 13 years old, and I truly adore spending time with each one of them whether we’re throwing the ball in the yard for hours or relaxing on the porch couch. I’m patient and consistent with young pups who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need medication, extra comfort, or slower walks. Something really important to me is treating each pet as if they were my own, to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their parents are away! Pet care definitely fits very easily into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to accommodate any specific needs, whether that’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, evening walks, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my day to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I am also available for housesitting and truly enjoy staying in a home environment so pets can stay in their familiar space with consistent care and just someone to hangout with! The pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always going to be my top priorities. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, but I am more than happy to provide drop-in visits or overnight housesitting in your home where your pet feels most secure. I will most definitely work hard to maintain their normal schedule, feeding routines, exercise, and any special instructions you may provide me. Additionally, I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and responsibility I would my own. Clear communication is also very important to me, so I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and any checkins you might want for peace of mind when you’re away!
About: Pets have always been a part of my life—whether fur, scales, or feathers, there’s never been a time my home wasn’t shared with animals. I truly believe pets don’t just live in a house—they make it a home and become family. I recently welcomed a playful cat named Ducky, who has quickly reminded us what it’s like to have curiosity, energy, and a bit of chaos woven into everyday life. That same appreciation for each pet’s personality carries into the care I provide. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for as if they were my own. I focus on maintaining their routine, minimizing stress, and making sure they feel secure and at ease—until you’re back home and reunited. I'm currently a reservist in the military, so I have a lot of free time to help busy schedules and vacations. You want to take that cruise you have been planning? Or have a busy meeting to go to? You can count on me We share our home with a lively, vocal kitty named Ducky who keeps things active and full of personality. She’s playful, curious, and always ready to “chat,” which has made us very attentive to creating a safe, calm, and well-managed environment for all animals in our care. That same level of awareness and responsibility extends to every pet I look after. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort, ensuring each pet feels secure and cared for as part of the family while they’re with me.
About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.
About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.

“Will definitely contact Maria for all future fur-sitting needs. I was skeptical of using Rover but was in a last minute pinch. Maria was so great! Fred looked happy upon pick up. He looks well taken care of and she also sent me daily pictures and updates throughout the week.”
“Shayla is amazing. Everything as promised. She took my jumping, high energy 1 year old Aussie mix into her home and property like an adopted fur child. Rumi had fur mates to play with, a yard and pool to run around in, and a lap to snuggle with. He was safe in experienced hands. He even pulled her on her skate board to burn off energy! Thank you Shayla! We feel lucky to have found you!”
“My dogs love staying with Katie. They always have a great time and get lots of snuggles. Katie is always good with communication and sending photos. Definitely recommend!”
“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
“Kelly made Zeus very comfortable and got plenty of exercise. We will definitely book with Kelly in future. I have a neighbor that will be reaching out as soon as I give her the information. Thank you Kelly.”
“Krista has been watching my pup for over a year now and she’s probably stayed with her 8 times or so. I cannot say enough good things about her! Whether it’s for a quick weekend or over a week her communication is top notch. Her pupdates are the highlight of my day! Don’t even get me started on her pictures. Some of the best pics I have of my dog came from Krista. She goes above and beyond to care for my fur baby and even cleaned her raised food bowls for me so that they came back nicer than I left them. It’s definitely the little things that always make me schedule repeatedly with her! I can’t imagine leaving my pup with anyone else.”
“I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! She watched my dog, Biggie, for two weeks while I was in Europe, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Jennifer went above and beyond to keep Biggie happy and active, he got to play in the water, go on adventures, and enjoy all sorts of fun activities. She was incredibly accommodating and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. When I came home, Biggie was happy, healthy, and clearly had an amazing time. If you’re looking for someone responsible, loving, and trustworthy to care for your dog, Jennifer is the one!”
“Anne was amazing and took great care of our Camper! She was very responsive, sent pics/videos throughout the stay, and kept us updated. I would recommend Anne 100% and will be using her again when we are back in this area. Thank you for treating Camper as your own!”
“Bridgie and Charly had a Great stay for 7 days with Jerarlin and her pups. Charly developed an ear infection and I was able to send meds quickly via Amazon. Jerarlin administered drops and wipes daily and he felt better quickly. My pips love hanging out in the large, fenced in yard. Thanks!”
“Can’t recommend her enough. Good communication, she kept our pup safe and followed the care instructions we left for him. Will definitely use her services again”
“Yamillex was absolutely the best. She took great care of our puppy Hercules. We truly appreciate all of her time and patience with our puppy. She sent tons of videos and pictures. We felt that Hercules was in safe hands and we absolutely loved Ava. Thank you again for everything.”
“Bill is a super-star. This was our first time leaving Jelly Bean with anyone. Even though she is nervous around other dogs, Bill's calm demeanor helped her fit in perfectly. We were away for a week and picked her up today. It's like she never left. She is her happy sweet self. Bill gave us tips about training and sent us photos all week. We will feel so happy and confident to leave our dog with Bill anytime and plan to do so do later this summer. Thank you so much Bill!”
“Super sweet, lots of communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my baby. I got picture mail throughout, and could tell she and her family genuinely love and care about animals. Will definitely be using again!”
“We left our pups with Heather for 3 nights for Thanksgiving, and had a great experience! Heather was great at communicating and sending us updates on our dogs. She also sent us pictures every day. Our dogs were well cared for and enjoyed being there. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“This was the 2nd time we had our pup at Janelly & family's home, 1st time Chase stayed away/overnight from us since we got him. He had some hiccups with being away overnight, but Janelly and family kept him comforted and on track. This was also his 1st time meeting kitties, LOL. I think he knows to proceed with caution around them. We don't go away often, but we were so happy to have this family watch our pupper. Highly recommended!”
“Lenetta has done a fabulous job taking care of Linc. She is loving to him and truly takes care of him as if he were her own dog. I can tell he’s having a wonderful time with her because she sends videos of him playing, and having a good time! He comes home happy and tired!”
“This was my dogs first time staying the night with someone outside of family. My dog was nervous at first and went straight to his crate. By the time I picked him up the next morning he was so happy. He warmed up to Kristin and her family and played well with the other dogs. Kristin updated me with a picture and that he was able to sleep through the night no problem. This put our minds at ease. We will be booking again in the future.”
“Andrea was able to take cate of my furbabies even though it was a late booking. She did a fabulous job, sending me pictures and assuring me that all was well. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying about my pets, and they were happy and safe when I returned. I recommend her without reservation and will use her in the future. Thank you, Andrea!!”
