“Ashley took such great care of our fur baby for the second time! She is very responsive and does a great job sharing photo updates. We definitely will be booking again :)”
“Leaving Sandy for the first time after 4 years was not easy for us, so you can imagine how nervous we were. But from the moment we met Ely, she made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed. She treated Sandy like her own baby, constantly sending us pictures, updates, and letting us know how she was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Ely truly loves and cares for the pups she watches. She works incredibly hard to make sure they are happy, safe, loved, and well taken care of. Sandy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved during her stay. We would absolutely recommend Ely to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their furry family member. She is amazing, and we are so grateful we found her!”

“Debi was wonderful with my dog, Brooklyn! She welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home. Debi communicated daily with updates and photos, which gave me a peace of mind.

She has such a kind and calming presence that he immediately felt comfortable. She was wonderful throughout the entire experience. She kept me constantly updated and even sent me pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend her — your pets will be in loving and responsible hands. I’m absolutely sure I’ll reach out to her again the next time I need help. Thank you so much, Bridget!”

“I don’t know who was more anxious about our first doggy daycare experience, me or Sofia. But Judy and her daughter were so sweet and understanding. I felt comfortable leaving Sofia with them and Sofia was pretty chill when I picked her up. Which is saying a lot considering her separation anxiety.”
“Thirsa is an experienced and professional dog carer. She was a breeze to work and communicate with, and I had zero worries leaving my dog with her for the first time. My dog was content, calm, and ready for bedtime by the time I picked him up. I highly recommend Thirsa to anyone on Rover”
“Excellent service. They were very accommodating and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I definitely recommend them and I will use their services again.”

“Super great and accommodating, was able to take me on mega short notice, totally plan on having them take care of my doggy again should the need arise! Oh, also super communicative— I’ve had my dog taken care of with others, where I ask a question and get left on read, or go to drop off my dog and am in the car for 20 min (not exaggerating) waiting for them to answer my call. This is NOT the case with Heather!”
“Xico can speak, but it looked like he had a good time with Sian and her dog Chulo. He can come and slept throughout the night. Thank you Sian for taking care of my precious fur-son!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 14 years 🐶 (to my boy Michael Thomasz who is now in doggie heaven 🙏🏼). After his very difficult passing on the family, I volunteered at different animal shelters and rescues bringing awareness to dog adoption and quality care. I decided to create a legacy in Mikey’s name so our love for him may keep on growing in the care for other dogs. I love and care for all dogs deeply as if they were my very own! They are part of the family and they all have a personality of their own! I have experience and expertise caring for special needs and gentle love and patience to give to senior dogs. I focus on a cage-free environment and personalized attention, unlike other dog caretakers. Dogs may not talk but they DO communicate 😃 I am attentive to details to ensure I am providing a safe space full of love and everything they need. I am First Aid and CPR Certified. I am open to get directions on how your loved one behaves, likes, dislikes and anything else I can do to make their stay pleasant and memorable. I provide updates on the actions taken such as feeding, walking and daily activities as well as accommodate pictures and video calls to ensure you have peace of mind. I welcome hearing suggestions and feedback as this is a positive and healthy environment ✨ Check me out with a discount! Promo Code: BETTYV61589 I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preference in day and times. I prioritize my furry clients and ensure I provide them with uninterrupted quality time during your booking. I am home based for daycare and hotel services. I have a designated exclusive area for your pup and it is cleaned every day to ensure your furry baby is in a comfortable and clean space. I wash and sanitize all the covers, blankets, toys and any other supplies that are used with our dogs. Each dog gets their own clean supplies at the beginning of their stay for daycare and hotel stays. • If I am visiting your home during drop-in visits, I’ll be sure to clean up any doggie messes before I leave. • For walks, I am fully equipped with bags and additional leashes. • I also heavily rely on pet hair rollers to ensure we are hairball free (as much as possible anyway!) • For the safety of our dogs, I ensure all designated doggie areas are free of clutter or other items that may fall on them or cause them any harm.
“Gheraldine is very sweet! She was attentive in understanding Bruno’s needs for the day, and when I received my card at the end of the day, my dog was well looked after. Thank you!!”
“Sharie is amazing! Our little guy Winston has only stayed with family for seven years. We are planning to travel more, so it was time to find someone we could trust with our baby on a regular basis. Winston is an anxious pup and so is his mom! 😊 Sharie is understanding, calm and shows how much she gets to know the puppies she cares for. She sends pictures and videos while he is with her to help put us at ease. Truthfully, this new experience has probably been hardest for me, but it’s so reassuring to see our baby happy and relaxed when we pick him up! Thank you so much Sharie!!”
“From the minute I was greeted at the door, Linda and her family put me at ease and I knew my puppy Radar was in the right hands. Very nice home with a big secured backyard. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and video to put my mind at ease. You can tell she has a passion for dogs. Radar and her son absolutely fell in love with each other. It was truly heartwarming to see the instant connection. Don't hesitate to choose Linda to care for your furry family members. She did great.”

In my client's home, I'll be sure to leave everything as is while still giving full attention to my furry friend.
“I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything! 🐾💛”

“She was great. She immediately bonded with my little pug and vice versa. He rolled over for a belly rub right away, which is his way of saying I like you and I trust you. He rarely does that for people he doesn't know.”
“Ashley is clearly a true animal lover! She took such good care of Lucy. She sent tons of pictures and videos, which always makes owners feel better knowing their fur baby is in good hands. I’d recommend her to friends and family! She’s is very thoughtful, considerate and thorough.”

“Loved Magda! She was very thorough and made sure to ask all the right questions (even some I forgot about) to make sure our pups were taken care of while we were away on vacation”
About: I have had many different dogs over the years and cared for more than one dog at a time, which makes me very comfortable in caring for your fur babies and understanding their many personalities. Also, I believe socialization is very important for all dogs so if you are comfortable, I am able to take them to a dog park (I have one near my home). This will allow them to create new friends and make their experience more enjoyable. Overall, I am trying to avoid getting another pet, so if you let me care for your fur baby I would heavily appreciate it :D As you can tell from my photos I treat all pets like they are a part of my family. Rest assured your baby and I will become best friends. I am a remote worker which allows me more time to care for your babies and a lot of flexibility. I believe this would be a mutually beneficial relationship as I'd be able to enjoy my day playing with dogs, while you won't be worried about taking your dog out. If you ever need to board your dog I am available on the weekends and if you need a house sitter because it would make your fur baby more comfortable I am flexible on those dates as well. I have a multitude of toys, treats, and puzzles to keep them engaged and happy. I also have a dog park which tends to not be busy which allows for running and fetch time in a safe environment.
About: I truly go the extra mile for those I am taking care of. From extra long walks to lots of play time, I want them to feel comfortable enough that they don’t miss their owners too much under my care. I will always adjust my schedule to the daily routine the pet requires. I never tend to stray far off time just not cause the pet discomfort At all times I make sure they are calm and happy. Making sure they don’t stray too much from the usual routine and make sure I ask all important questions for a safe stay.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and love providing dependable, personalized care. I’m experienced with administering medications, senior dogs, puppies, anxiety-prone pups, and following detailed routines for feeding, walks, and special needs. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to match their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I tailor my care to fit them. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on giving pets the same love and attention I’d want for my own. You can expect regular updates, plenty of walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Dog sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have a flexible job, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and love building my schedule around walks, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. I live in a safe, gated community and provide a clean, calm, and secure home environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. Your dog’s safety, trust, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every pet like family.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and learned early on from my grandparents that dogs are extremely loyal, and when trained correctly and treated with patience, they can be your best friend. I have been dog sitting for over ten years and have to say that it’s my favorite job because it doesn’t feel like a job at all! I have chosen to incorporate pet care into as much of my life as I can—I previously worked in an animal clinic where I got to work with a wide variety of different animals and breeds and I’m the proud mama of several rescued pets of my own. I also spent time volunteering in shelters. In my circle of friends, family and co-workers, I’m known as the dog and cat whisperer, as I’m always giving advice and helpful tips! My clients appreciate the fact that I communicate with them regularly throughout the day with photos and text updates. I do my best to be flexible with their needs and be accommodating to their schedule. My background has given me a wealth of experience and I am comfortable working with senior dogs and can administer oral medication and shots. I’m caring, patient and committed, and I don’t just accept any client on—it is very important to me to make sure I’m the right fit for the owner and the pet, so I will work to understand their needs as clearly as I can. Pets love the fact that I get to know them in their own time. I’ll get down on their level and let them sniff me before offering a treat or playing a game to help them open up. I then work with the owner to understand their needs, likes and dislikes, and we go from there! I make sure your fur babies are my number 1 priority while in my care. I take pride in considering your pets as my family in the time I am caring for them. I am currently not boarding in my own home; however, I do make sure when in your home safety measures are taken to ensure everything goes smoothly I.E making sure doors are locked, fences are secured and nothing unsafe is left withing the pets reach.
About: 💕 About Me & Pet Experience Hi, I’m Jessica, but most people know me as Aunty Jess — your friendly, reliable pet sitter from Margate, Florida. I’m 24 years old and currently studying Veterinary Technology at Broward College. My passion for animals started when I was very young, and it’s grown into something that truly defines who I am today. I’ve spent several years caring for pets, including small and medium-sized dogs, playful puppies, calm seniors, and cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve also cared for smaller pets like fish and shrimp — I even have my own aquarium! My experience ranges from everyday walks and feedings to maintaining consistent routines that keep pets calm and happy while their owners are away. For several years, I boarded up to six dogs at a time in my home, managing different breeds, schedules, and personalities with patience and care. It taught me how to balance structure with affection — making sure every dog received attention, exercise, and love. Some of my clients became repeat customers, trusting me multiple times with their pets, which means a lot to me and shows how dependable and compassionate I am with every animal I meet. I also used to have my own dog, who I adored deeply. Due to house rules, I had to rehome him, but I made sure he went to a loving family filled with care, stability, and affection. That experience strengthened my understanding of responsibility and the emotional bond between people and their pets. Now, I focus on offering House Sitting and Dog Walking so I can give pets one-on-one attention and personalized care in the comfort of their own homes. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety or stress, so I always create a calm environment and follow their normal routines to help them feel safe and loved. Through my studies in Veterinary Technology, I’ve learned how to recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or health concerns early on. I know how to approach each animal with patience, empathy, and care — whether it’s during walks, feeding time, or bedtime. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and consistent, with a genuine love for all animals big and small. My goal as Aunty Jess is simple: to make sure every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and happy — just like they would if you were home. 🕓 Schedule I like to keep my schedule transparent and well-organized so pet parents know exactly when I’m available and how I plan my days around your pets’ needs. I’m currently a Veterinary Technology student at Broward College, and I’ve built my class routine to make sure every pet in my care still gets the love, attention, and time they deserve. Here’s my weekly availability: 📅 Monday – Wednesday: I’m in class for about 3 hours during the day, but I’m available after 3:00 PM for house sitting and dog walking. Before leaving for class, I always make sure pets are fed, walked, and comfortable so they feel relaxed while I’m away. When I return, I give them my full attention for evening care, playtime, and cuddles. 📅 Thursday: I have a short 2-hour class during the day, so my availability is very flexible. I’m free after 3:00 PM and can provide walks, meals, and plenty of evening companionship. 📅 Friday – Sunday: These are my fully open days, which means I’m completely available for full-day and overnight house sitting. I dedicate these days to giving your pets my full focus — walks, playtime, meals, and comfort throughout the day and night. I always plan my week carefully to make sure your pets’ needs come first. Even on class days, I maintain structure and consistency by following their normal schedule as closely as possible. You’ll receive daily updates with photos or videos, so you always know how your pets are doing. Your pet’s well-being and routine are always my top priorities — I’m committed to keeping them safe, loved, and happy every day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet I care for. I know that when you choose someone to look after your pets and your home, you’re putting a lot of faith in them — and I take that responsibility very seriously. You can always count on me to treat your space and your pets with respect, care, and honesty. As a vet student, I have knowledge of basic animal health, safety practices, and behavior management, which helps me create a calm, comfortable environment for every pet. I make sure water bowls are always full, leashes and collars are properly fitted, and that pets are supervised closely during walks or outdoor time. If a pet seems anxious or uncomfortable, I know how to respond gently and reassure them until they relax. I also understand how important your home is. When house sitting, I always keep things clean, organized, and secure — the way you left them. I lock doors, follow your household instructions, and never invite anyone over. My goal is to make your home feel just as peaceful for your pets as it does when you’re there. Trust is built through communication, so I send daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a morning walk, nap time, or dinner, I keep you informed and confident that everything is going smoothly. Your pets’ safety and emotional comfort always come first with me. With Aunty Jess, you can feel completely at ease knowing your pets are cared for with love, patience, and a calm environment that feels like home.
“It was a blessing to find Gabriella. Very detailed, helpful, and amazing with my pets. Always went above and beyond what I could have asked for. Had her on a repeat schedule and was grateful with how she accommodated when I would need to shift my schedule around at the last minute. Will always use her in any future pet needs. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Ashley took such great care of our fur baby for the second time! She is very responsive and does a great job sharing photo updates. We definitely will be booking again :)”
“Leaving Sandy for the first time after 4 years was not easy for us, so you can imagine how nervous we were. But from the moment we met Ely, she made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed. She treated Sandy like her own baby, constantly sending us pictures, updates, and letting us know how she was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Ely truly loves and cares for the pups she watches. She works incredibly hard to make sure they are happy, safe, loved, and well taken care of. Sandy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved during her stay. We would absolutely recommend Ely to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their furry family member. She is amazing, and we are so grateful we found her!”

Thank you both so much!”

“I boarded my baby for the first time and this could not be a better experience. My dog has separation anxiety but they took such great care of him.

“I would definitely recommend Gheraldine, she definitely accepted my short notice boarding. She was very responsive very communicative and excellent caretaker for my Bella. She sent pictures daily of her stay I would definitely recommend her in the future.”
“I dont even know where to start! Gregory is awesome and i would highly recommend him to care of any pet. I was out of town for a few days and he kept me up to date daily with pictures of him and my fur baby Biscuit. I was a bit nervous leaving her especially knowing this was the first time i used the app and had to board her. Biscuit gets separation anxiety and can be a handful. It brought great joy to see how happy she was with him. The smiles were priceless! This process has put my anxiety to rest and in the future i will always leave my babygirl with Gregory! You truly deserve 5 stars!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful human! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my lil heart. My Alaia has found her forever sitter whenever she needs one. Very communicative with videos and pics daily, and super lovable with Alaia. I can truly tell Alaia took to her well. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving her with her even at first meet based on Alaia’s immediate response to her being met with calmness. Alaia is always a good judge of character.”
“Coreen is amazing. I do not have any worries about my pup when he’s with her. Greystone becomes part of the family when he stays there! It’s comforting to know that he’s in that environment being loved. I’m able to travel without having any worry about his care or safety. I will always use Coreen when Greystone needs a sitter, she’s the absolute best!”
