“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”
“"She was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was traveling to Tampa. She is very caring, loving, and responsible. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. When I came back, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!"”
“Nicole was incredible! This was the first time our Oakley would be away from home so we wanted to make sure we picked the right sitter. Nicole met us ahead of time for a quick meet and greet and Oakley loved her! She kept us up-to-date while we were gone and was so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend booking with Nicole!”
“Samuel was awesome! Theo had a wonderful stay in a lovely neighborhood! Samuel was extremely responsive, sent updates and pictures, and was flexible for our drop off and pick up times. We couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies! Very thankful to find such an excellent and professional home to host our furriest family member.”
“Maxine was great with Owen. She would send picture updates and even has an app that allows you to check in on your pup via camera. Extremely convenient, flexible, and responsible. Highly recommend!”
“I felt so much anxiety leaving Maggie while on vacation but felt so much more at ease with Hermun!! she sent me pictures and videos everyday of her playing with her pup and I was able to enjoy my vacation. Thanks again Hermun!!!!”
“I was very lucky to find Sofia to watch my puppy Ruby. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Ruby was being taken care of quite well and that they had a lot of fun together. Normally when Ruby is with someone else in a strange environment, she doesn't eat normally, but judging by what was left over, she pretty much ate normally. I will definately ask Sofia to watch Ruby the next time I go on vacation and need a dog sitter.”
“Eileen was amazing! Her apartment is perfect for a furry visitor. She was flexible with schedule and able to accommodate our time changes. I loved her little kitty, Pumpkin, and knew my pup was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kristin was excellent! Our long time dog sitter moved and I was nervous leaving my dogs with anyone else, but very quickly I knew they were in good hands. Constant updates and they had a great time staying for two weeks 😊 I would absolutely send them back if she would have them!”
“We have used them quite a few times and our dogs always have a great time! I am provided with photos and details of what they do throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”
“Matt was amazing!! Took great care of our baby and was so flexible with us needing 2 extra days due to the hurricane that closed the airport. We highly recommend him for your next boarding experience and will definitely use him again?”
“Amazing sitter for Sparkles! She sent great updates and clearly gave lots of love and attention. When our flight got delayed, she happily extended the stay an extra day with zero hassle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Caden and his wife were really awesome. Always keeping me updated about my 3 dogs. My dogs seem to love staying with them for 4 nights. In addition, their rate is so much mire affordable than most. Really happy with the service. I would definitely use his services again. Highly recommend!”
“Grateful that Hailey was willing to take Leo for 5 nights on relatively short notice. Leo was 10-11 months old and a rehome when we adopted him about 16 months ago, and this was his first stay away from our home, so you can imagine I carefully reviewed sitters on Rover. Hailey was my number one choice. She encouraged a meet and greet, which I also think is essential. Hailey listened carefully as I described Leo and his quirks. She gave Leo the space and time needed for him to settle in and warm up to her and she was quite prompt with meeting times and dog walks. Leo seemed quite content when I picked him up. I'd love to board Leo with Hailey again when the need arises.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Catherine far exceeded my expectations! She agreed to a meet and greet with my pup and me before boarding started, and I could immediately feel her warmth (and my pup felt comfortable too). Catherine kept me updated, sending me pictures daily. She was so kind and took such good care of my girl. I would 100% recommend Catherine for anyone who wants to leave their pup with a loving sitter! 🤍”
“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”
About: For the last 5 years, I co-managed a highly-rated Rover account and raised our family dogs for 7 years. Following a recent separation, I am starting fresh on my own profile. I deeply miss having dogs in my daily life, which means your pup gets 100% of my focus, a quiet home, and years of seasoned, professional pet-care experience! This fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, meaning I am always here to provide constant supervision, companionship, and a structured schedule. Because I work a standard desk job, having a guest dog in my home acts as a quiet, natural companion in the background of my workday. Having co-managed a high-volume Rover account for 5 years and being a dog owner myself for 7, I am incredibly accustomed to balancing professional desk work with regular potty breaks, structured play, and affection without any disruption to my focus. Your dog will never be left alone, and my schedule is perfectly set up to treat them like a VIP member of my household throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. Pets are never left alone for extended periods, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and regular bathroom breaks. I also provide updates with photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home during their stay.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, especially French Bulldogs, and have experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even horses. I also volunteered at a dog rescue in Chicago for about a year, so I’m very comfortable with dogs who are shy, nervous, need patience, or simply take a little extra time to warm up. I currently have a very friendly French Bulldog of my own, so I’m especially familiar with dogs who need a little extra attention or have health considerations. He recently had spinal surgery, which has given me firsthand experience with giving medication, following restrictions, keeping up with special care instructions, and being extra attentive to a dog’s comfort and mobility. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog wants three long walks a day and nonstop playtime or would rather curl up on the couch and get attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I genuinely love having animals around and treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which makes my schedule extremely flexible and allows me to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches while I’m at work. I’m able to take multiple walks throughout the day, accommodate different potty schedules, give medications or additional care when needed, and adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. I’m also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you. I have an elevator and potty area in my building so no need for stairs/going far! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. My dog is extremely friendly and would love to keep them company, but I’m also happy to give dogs their own space and alone time whenever they need it. I’m able to completely separate a dog if needed and care for them that way! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs, including medications, dietary restrictions, anxiety, or other special care. Dogs are welcome on the couch and in my bed, and since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I’m willing to send photo updates throughout the stay, usually one update every 4-5 hours, so you can feel at ease knowing everything is going okay!
“Shannon did an amazing job! She sent so many pictures and videos of my dog to keep me updated throughout the weekend. She even let my dog tag along to a doggy bday party on the beach, which made me so happy. Shannon was super communicative an flexible and my dog came home a happy girl”
“WOW! I cannot stress enough how happy we are that we found Cece. She was so sweet and kind and super communicative during Cash’s stay. Her two pups got along great with Cash, and he clearly had a blast during his stay with her. She was also very through when we arrived since it was his first stay with her and showed me the beautiful back yard Cash would have to play in during his stay and made sure he was secure and I was comfortable with him being in her home. It was such a great experience, I seriously cannot recommend Cece enough. Cash even came home with a personalized stocking, which he loved! You can tell she truly loves taking care of her clients pups!!”

“Chloe is a very caring and kind petsitter. She came to the rescue on very short notice and brought a sense of calm and order in a difficult time for me. She went the extra mile who I will use her again for sure.”
“Kelsey is amazing! We’re new to the area and are so happy we finally found a pet sitter we can trust! Our kitten liked her right away. Kelsey is accommodating, respectful, and someone you can 100% trust to take care of your pets. Highly recommend.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new, and I was really stressed. But she took great care of him, kept me updated with pictures, and made my last-minute trip so much easier. Thank you!!”
“Can't recommend Salina highly enough. She was available on short notice to watch our elderly cat AND made time to squeeze in a meet and greet prior to our trip. She listened carefully and took notes on all my instructions. And she came on time each day she was scheduled for, sending pictures and detailed notes about her visit. We would 100% hire Salina again.”
“So grateful Carly was able to watch our cat for our 9 day trip. She fed and kept him company twice a day and made us feel so much better about leaving. Our cat seemed very comfortable with her!”
“Kendra was great with watching my cat Cricket and giving him medicine while we were out of town, she was super detailed with questions about caring for him and with her reports every day. Cricket can be shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Kendra was kind, understanding, and super patient!”
“Kelsey was so great! She is always quick to respond and is so sweet. My cat was so happy when I got home, I’m glad to know she had great company while I was away. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone!”
“What can I say, Jordan is by far the best pet sitter! My Olive can't wait to have her cat sit again. Jordan is very responsive, very prompt with timing, and never shorts on the time spent. I've never had so many photos of my Olive before, it felt like I was with Olive even from another country. I highly recommend Jordan's services!”
“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”
“Oh my gosh Jenna was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cat Tiki, my cat was going through a medical situation throughout the time Jenna was watching her and she handled it so well and I came back from vacation to a much healthier cat! I’m so impressed by her communication and tender care towards my cat. I will hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anybody!”
“Isabel was amazing. She came over to meet my cats before I left and they were instantly in love with her, which is not their norm. Usually, my older cat is skittish and standoffish, but he loved her immediately. She took such amazing care of them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I came home to no anxiety from my cats, which is super rare. 11/10. My partner and I are going to call her every time we leave town.”
“Virginia was absolutely wonderful with our cats Orange and Saja! She followed all the instructions carefully, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”
“Matt made me feel completely at ease from the start. Luna was well cared for, and I could tell she was comfortable and happy. Communication was great, and I truly appreciate the peace of mind. I’m looking forward to booking with him regularly!”
“Natali & KJ were AWESOME! This was my first time using a service like this for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier. My dog is reactive and requires a special touch, which he received, better than I could have expected. The updates and pictures throughout the day plus “report card” after were so appreciated. I will absolutely rebook. Thank you!”
About: I've had dogs all my life and gone through extensive dog training as well as being a foster mom for the Southeast Beagle Rescue. I currently have a beagle named Riley that I adopted through the Humane Society and was unfortunately one of the 4000 Envigo beagles that were rescued. He loves playing with other dogs and is very social. I work from home, which gives me time to spend with your dog. This also makes drop off and pick up convenient for everyone. I also have a two Dog maximum limit. About my home/services: I live in a cozy condo I own in South Tampa with a fenced in backyard. I am fine with dogs on the couch and bed. I have experience with older dogs, special needs animals and administering medication. Expect a lot of pictures and videos of your dog having fun! I require a meet and greet. This way you and your dog will be more comfortable when you leave them in my care since it will not be the first time we have met when you drop them off leading to less stress when you leave. Criteria: Activity level low to medium. Absolutely no puppies. No dogs that bark at everything (unless someone knocks at the door) or dogs with separation anxiety. We look forward to meeting you. 🐶 I work from home, which gives me time to spend with your dog. This also makes drop off and pick up convenient for everyone. Drop off and pick up times are from 8 AM to 9 PM. I have a fenced in backyard. Dogs are allowed on the bed and couch. Feel free to bring their bed or anything else that makes them comfortable. Whatever your rules are, they are the rules here so if they aren't allowed on furniture...no problem.

About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Samuel was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off, which made everything so easy and simple. Thank you again for taking such good care of Frénki. I really appreciate it!”
“Hailey is wonderful and we felt completely secure with our dog Tilly in her care. Constant updates and communication along with a very relaxed pup when we picked her up. Will definitely book again!”
“Pamela was so incredibly helpful by taking my little buddy last minutes notice. She sent tons of fun photo updates. I will definitely recommend her and am so glad I have a new sitter I can count on when I’m in need.”
About: I have had dogs and helped taken care of a multitude of different breeds all my life. I grew up with pitbulls as a small child and learned how to tame and control the most “dangerous and ferocious” of breeds from a very young age. Throughout my life my family has been obsessed with dogs and we have had every breed under the sun from the very biggest in Great Danes to the smallest in Chihuahuas. I have always been very hands on in my household with the taking care of our dogs and have helped walk, clean, feed, play, and most importantly love these angels sent from the Lord himself. I am 21 years old and I’d argue from the time my brain reached consciousness I have been infatuated with man’s best friend. I can take care of any breed regardless of size or personality and do it to the highest level of efficiency and quality possible. In addition, to taking care of dogs my entire life within my own home and family, I have also been hired for freelance jobs by neighbors of mine to house-sit their dogs, so I have a track record of being trusted with others dogs in their own homes and have experience doing so. Additionally, I volunteer at the humane society frequently and help walk and play with the dogs there which come in a variety of different breeds who are often in stressful situations where I am required to clam them down and do so quite effectively. So if you’re out of town and looking for someone to take care of your sweet angel or in town and just looking for someone to give them a walk because you’re busy, I am the man! I am currently enrolled as a full time student at the University of South Florida and do have class in the afternoons on Monday-Wednesday. However, I am available Thursday-Sunday all day long and am free to house sit and work on weekends as well. I am also available to house sit on weekdays, but on Monday-Wednesday’s I will be gone for a few hours in the afternoon for class so Thursday-Sunday is more optimal for me for sitting needs. As for walking I am open to any time of the day any day of the week outside again of those afternoons on Monday-Wednesday. I have historically cared for pets in my own homes by taking them for multiple walks a day so they can do their business and just get outside and be active. Often depending on the age of the dog or the friendliness to other dogs I may bring them to a dog park and let them play with their fellow dogkind. When I am not tiring them out or letting them use the restroom I will usually just snuggle up with them and perhaps watch tv or do work while they sit with me and we chill. I also of course feed them regularly and make sure they have water. Give them lots of love and kisses too. Also treats here and there when they are being a good boy/girl. As for sitting in your house I of course would respect any house rules you have and obey them and would never ruin or mess with your home. I also would always be down to meet your dog first for free just so they can get a feel for me if I would be watching them so you know they are in good hands with me and you yourself could get to meet me. As for my own home I live in a decently spacious apartment on Davis Islands. I would treat any dog in my home as if it was my own family member and treat them exactly as mentioned previously. I don’t have a yard or anything since I live in an apartment but there is lots of areas to walk in Davis Islands and I have a car which I’m okay with transporting your dog in to bring to a variety of dog parks in the area as well.
“Evgenia was a great sitter! She played with my puppy outside a lot and took him on a couple of walks. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures!”
“So fortunate to have found Rachel. She has a cozy comfortable place for my two dogs. Her two cats and one dog are so sweet and friendly. I’d recommend her a hundred times.!”
“Bruno’s first Rover experience went well! He can be selective and wary of strangers but Melinda and David made him feel comfortable and took it slow with him. Will book again! Thank you!”
“My boys had such a blast while they were there, I could tell they were tired when I picked them up, and they were already trying to go back in when we were leaving!! It’s always so hard to find a sitter who sends you thoughtful updates and cute pictures, but I am so happy with how their visit went. Thank you so much to Qian and her family for taking care of our babies!!”
“Crystal is a true animal lover and our pup is happy to see her. He’s always tired when he gets home so he seems to get plenty of play and exercise :)”
About: I love dogs so much and would love to walk any pups in the Channelside/Water Street/Harbour Island areas! I’m always happy to watch my friends pets and treat them like they’re my own. Free any day except Tuesdays :) I would love to walk your pups on both the weekends and weekdays. I am not available on Tuesdays. I’d be happy to schedule reoccurring walks as well. I love dogs so much and would be doing this for pure enjoyment! With that being said, I will take care of your pup like they are my own. I am a very cautious walker just because I used to have a small senior dog and will walk your dog with the same care.
About: I've had fur babies for 14+ years now. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me with their love ones for periods of time and we have had an amazing connection and experience! I actually work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to watch the furbabies closely everyday and help taking multiple breaks during the day. Also, very flexible on making visits during the day. I have big fenced yard where babies can run and enjoy time outside. Love walking, so if visiting your babies at your place, I'd more than happy to provide whatever amount of walking they need to reset. Happy to give them company and share trust with you that your babies and home will be safe once I leave.

“Kelsey was truly amazing! I hired her last minute after my previous walker moved, and she was incredibly accommodating, which meant so much since my dog is a newly adopted rescue. She was always on time, very responsive, and kept me at ease with her detailed report cards after each walk. It was clear that she treated Honey like her own dog and genuinely cared about her comfort and happiness. I’m so grateful to have found Kelsey and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I recently left my job so I am super excited to have a flexible schedule for your furry friend! Pets are precious and I really enjoy bonding with them! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m respectful of your space and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules you have. I’ll always keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Brian was always on time and communicative! Our dog started showing signs of a stomach ache (which is not abnormal for her) but he let us know right away and kept us updated each time he saw her.”
About: I have over six years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m a cat owner myself. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, then give them the attention they need—whether that means a walk, playtime, cuddles, or a little space to warm up. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. I’m available full time, including weekends and holidays. My schedule is flexible, but please reach out in advance so I can confirm availability and make sure I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my priority during every visit. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and use a leash for walks. I’ll also check that your pet has fresh water and a comfortable, safe space before I leave. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll contact you right away and follow the emergency plan you’ve provided.
About: My husband and I had a German shepherd for 13 years that we recently said goodbye to and have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages for friends and family. Great with seniors and big dogs. My husband grew up with 5 dogs in his household of all different breeds. Can administer medication and help with training if needed! I work from home twice a week and my husband is fully remote so between the two of us we will be home with your pup all day to watch them closely and ensure they are never alone. We live in a small pet friendly apartment in a walkable and pet friendly neighborhood. We have dog toys, enrichment toys, and dogs beds in the home but please bring your own if your pet prefers! We took our dog everywhere with us and know all the pet-friendly areas should your dog prefer spending most of their time outdoors.

“Shelby was awesome. He took such great care of my chihuahua while I was away, even though my pup can be… A LOT. He kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and updates, which made being away so much easier. You can tell he really cares and knows what he’s doing. Super reliable, super kind, and honestly just great to work with. Highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and phenomenal with pets. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Salina took my pup on a walk every afternoon while I was at work. I was nervous having someone take care of her as she can be reactive and hadn’t been taken care of by anyone else before but Salina was great with her! She met her, took detailed notes and asked about her special needs beforehand. Every walk she would update a detailed report of how the afternoon went and noted anything out of the ordinary. I felt 100% comfortable with Salina taking care of her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Nicole was amazing! She stepped in last minute to walk our golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and made the whole process completely stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Jackson and Parker came back happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker!”
About: I currently have 2 large rescue dogs and am an active volunteer at the humane society. I also grew up with cats and dogs. I am able to care for all animals. I am able to do walks, playtime, feedings, giving medication whatever is needed! I work in hospitality so I have a flexible schedule I am always free mornings and midday, and can let animals out late at night when needed. I currently live in an apartment with 2 dogs so only available for drop in visits. I cannot care for animals at my own place.
About: I’ve taken care and trained all sorts of dogs since I was a child! My mother and myself did Paws Woth A Cause training ever since I was 7 years old so I have 10+ years experience of training and have a golden retriever currently! I work part time so I have plenty of time to be home and care for your pet(s)! Boarding from Thursday-Sunday (24hour) and weekdays after 5pm! I have a fenced in backyard and a very safe neighborhood for walks! I also have a loving golden retriever to play with any dog here! If your pet needs to be crated we can talk about that as well!

I’ve worked with animals with medical issues, newborn kittens, etc. and am open to any further needs! I’m currently in my first year of college, but I live off-campus and have my own transportation! I tend to have classes in late afternoon to night but have many gaps in between to provide care, check ins, walks, etc., anything needed! The weekends I am able to come anytime you need! I live with my two ferrets who I keep on a schedule of play time and time inside their cage! I take them on adventures in my free time in their stroller, and keep their Space very tidy!😊 I will care for your pets the way you want me too, and what is comfortable and best for your pets! I understand some pets need different things and I am completely open to accommodating to their specific needs!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets for my neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. As a college student, my schedule gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I should have most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays available, along with additional availability throughout the week and on weekends. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine, give them lots of attention, and treat them like my own. I keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’m organized, reliable, and really focused on keeping your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. I live in a walkable area with access to a dog park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and playtime. I also make communication a priority and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾💕 Chanel is a big part of my daily routine! I make sure she’s fed, has a clean space, gets plenty of attention and playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles. She’s very social and loves being around people, so I’m used to having a pet as part of my everyday life. Caring for her has also taught me how important it is to be consistent with a pet’s routine and give them the attention they need. My apartment is a safe, clean, and comfortable space for pets. I’m very mindful about keeping doors and windows secure and making sure there aren’t things around that could be harmful to them.🤍🐈

“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”
“Samuel was awesome! Theo had a wonderful stay in a lovely neighborhood! Samuel was extremely responsive, sent updates and pictures, and was flexible for our drop off and pick up times. We couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies! Very thankful to find such an excellent and professional home to host our furriest family member.”
“We have used them quite a few times and our dogs always have a great time! I am provided with photos and details of what they do throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”
“Matt was amazing!! Took great care of our baby and was so flexible with us needing 2 extra days due to the hurricane that closed the airport. We highly recommend him for your next boarding experience and will definitely use him again?”
“Caden and his wife were really awesome. Always keeping me updated about my 3 dogs. My dogs seem to love staying with them for 4 nights. In addition, their rate is so much mire affordable than most. Really happy with the service. I would definitely use his services again. Highly recommend!”
“Grateful that Hailey was willing to take Leo for 5 nights on relatively short notice. Leo was 10-11 months old and a rehome when we adopted him about 16 months ago, and this was his first stay away from our home, so you can imagine I carefully reviewed sitters on Rover. Hailey was my number one choice. She encouraged a meet and greet, which I also think is essential. Hailey listened carefully as I described Leo and his quirks. She gave Leo the space and time needed for him to settle in and warm up to her and she was quite prompt with meeting times and dog walks. Leo seemed quite content when I picked him up. I'd love to board Leo with Hailey again when the need arises.”
“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, especially French Bulldogs, and have experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even horses. I also volunteered at a dog rescue in Chicago for about a year, so I’m very comfortable with dogs who are shy, nervous, need patience, or simply take a little extra time to warm up. I currently have a very friendly French Bulldog of my own, so I’m especially familiar with dogs who need a little extra attention or have health considerations. He recently had spinal surgery, which has given me firsthand experience with giving medication, following restrictions, keeping up with special care instructions, and being extra attentive to a dog’s comfort and mobility. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog wants three long walks a day and nonstop playtime or would rather curl up on the couch and get attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I genuinely love having animals around and treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which makes my schedule extremely flexible and allows me to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches while I’m at work. I’m able to take multiple walks throughout the day, accommodate different potty schedules, give medications or additional care when needed, and adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. I’m also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you. I have an elevator and potty area in my building so no need for stairs/going far! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. My dog is extremely friendly and would love to keep them company, but I’m also happy to give dogs their own space and alone time whenever they need it. I’m able to completely separate a dog if needed and care for them that way! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs, including medications, dietary restrictions, anxiety, or other special care. Dogs are welcome on the couch and in my bed, and since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I’m willing to send photo updates throughout the stay, usually one update every 4-5 hours, so you can feel at ease knowing everything is going okay!
“Shannon did an amazing job! She sent so many pictures and videos of my dog to keep me updated throughout the weekend. She even let my dog tag along to a doggy bday party on the beach, which made me so happy. Shannon was super communicative an flexible and my dog came home a happy girl”
“Chavelly was a great dog sitter for Truman. She sent me videos and pictures each day. She has a very friendly dog, who Truman enjoyed having a friend to play with. She has a dog park on her property which is ideal for play time. I will board Truman with her again for sure!”
“My baby Mandy was so spoiled and I loved the pictures sent to me through out the day I knew she was well taken care I was able to enjoy my vacation and have a piece of mind”
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! We had to extend our time with her unexpectedly, and she accommodated us willingly—even on short notice. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful situation much easier, and we’re so grateful for her support.”
“Brian was awesome with our Dog. He consistently provided us with feedback and updates of our pet’s stay and always provided us with pictures and videos. He made our pet feel safe and at home and us feel at ease that our dog was in great care! We needed another day for our dog to stay and he was very accommodating and open to helping us the best he could. We definitely will be booking with him again for all of our boarding needs!! Book with Brian, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Peaches loves staying with Aisha. She takes such good care of my baby. Tail is always wagging and tongue hanging out when I go pick her up! Aisha is caring and I trust her very much with my dog! Thank you!!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! So kind, caring, and attentive with our pup. She gave us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving! Overall, an pawesome experience! 🐾❤️”
“Melinda and David, we're wonderful with the Athena. She appeared happy in all the photos. It was our first rover and we would definitely come back again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets on and off for the past several years while they’re out of town and I currently have a cat of my own! I'm a student at the University with classes Monday-Friday but I have breaks throughout the day and I'm completely available at night on weekdays and all during the weekends. I would make sure any gates are locked if letting the pets outside and that they’re properly fed throughout the day with enough water as well.
