“Our dog, Harper, is very timid around people, but did well in Bill and Krista's welcoming home. They frequently sent updates to assure us she was settling in and we were able to travel with peace of mind knowing Harper was in good hands.”
“Thanks so much for welcoming our little buddy into your home. It was obvious from the first picture that you sent that Rex was completely comfortable and felt like he was among friends. We would recommend you without hesitation to anyone who is looking for the best dog boarding in central Florida! Thank you!”
“Denny and her husband are so incredibly kind. We could not have been more grateful to have them take care of our two fur babies. We had some last minute changes to our holiday plans and were in need for sitter. Denny and her husband were available - we even hopped on a video call to meet each other beforehand. The one thing I loved the most is that they keep the dog families separated from each other. One of our fur babies has a lot of anxiety with other dogs and this really helped ease our concerns. Scooter and Taz had the family room to themselves. They went on daily walks and we received multiple pictures several times a day to keep us updated. They were also flexible with drop off and pick up. Although we were sad we couldn’t spend Christmas with our fur babies, we were happy they were in good hands! We 100% recommend Denny and her husband and would use them again in a heartbeat!”
“Rebecca did a great job caring for my fur baby. She even sent me pics and updates so I could relax knowing she was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: When our sweet dog of 14 years passed away Nov 2017 I started volunteering as a dog walker at Homeward Pet in Woodinville where I received rigorous dog walking training. While working there I enjoyed the interaction with many different types and temperaments of dogs. A true blessing being able to give them love, protection, reassurance and fun when they most needed it. I've always loved animals my entire life and would very much enjoy taking care of your precious baby. Looking forward to seeing your dogs smiling face I'm retired and have extra time to spend having fun with new pets and helping neighbors with thier babies. Plus I live right here in Harbor Hills. Visiting your fur baby in your home, using all leashes, harnesses and collers provided by family. All babies will need to be secured in golf cart.
About: I have taken care of lot's of animals my whole entire life both dog and cat pet sitting for years. All of my friends, family and patients have relied on me to take care of their Pets for short and long periods. I am home during the day and especially at night -so it is Very easy for me to include them in my daily schedule. I am available most weekends and holidays. I have a front and backyard -the back has a linai and a pool but it is enclosed. I have access to multiple fields nearby to my house. I allow dogs to swim in the pool with the owner's permission. My house flooring has no carpet so messes are easy to clean up. Requirement: For the safety of our future dogs we will be sitting,we require proof of up to date vaccinations and flea/tick treatment. A copy or picture of your pets most recent veterinarian visit summary will be fine.
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”
“Shayla is wonderful. Shaggy came home happy and full of zest and for an old dog, that's great. Shayla's home has plenty of room for playing and exploring (something Shaggy does a lot of). She sent me many pictures while I was out of town and they are all keepers.”
“This is the second vacation that we’ve left Benji with Debbie and she is the BEST! Her home is perfectly setup for doggies and her little guy Teddy is the greatest playmate!! I will absolutely continue to book Debbie as often as possible!”
“What a great experience with Charles and his wife Becky. They were able to confirm the appointment with me right away and at the last minute. They kept me updated and even sent me pictures of Jimmy having a grand time at their house. Will definitely continue to utilize their service when needed. Thank you both so much!!”
“We are retired so we travel a lot. We have never boarded our dogs with a more competent dog sitter. Our dogs actually leep out of the car to get to her when we drive in the driveway. Our dogs are English Bulldog Champions and one is intact, but Peggy manages his care profesionally--even on Thanksgiving day. As a vet technician she was also able to administer medication to our older dog. She lives on a farm so there is a lot of area for dogs to run off leash. They don't sleep in a kennel building, they sleep in her house! She is a lovely person with a good heart.”
“Very caring and loving sitter. The dogs were really well kept. She was extremely patient and went above and beyond with my geriatric dog, which was greatly appreciated.”
“Korie is amazing! She was available last minute and took such great care of my fur baby. Sending me constant updates which I loved, our pup had the best weekend vacation with her!”
“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”
“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.”

“Joanna was very flexible and patient with the schedule. I could tell she cared about my cats. I appreciate her being able to take care of my cats last minute. I will be definitely using her again.”
“Sabrina was beyond phenomenal! From the first meet and greet, we immediately felt confident that she would be responsible to watch our home and our cat. She was timely, organized and clean, communicative, and sent us the cutest photo updates. She is also very detail oriented and shared a few updates on our cat to ensure we were aware of a few habits that could be indicative of a developing ear infection. We cannot wait to hire Sabrina again in the future!”
“Berkley was great with my kitties while I was gone! This was my first time using Rover for an out of state trip and couldn’t be more happy with Berkley. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos and could tell the kitties were very comfortable with her visiting! Berkley was great with communication and was on time for her check ins every day. I really enjoyed the report card update along with the visits. I would definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks Berkley!”
“Lori is a fantastic pet sitter. We have two tuxedo cats and she handled them perfectly. The pictures she sent they were laying around and loving as she was petting them & brushing them as well. We were able to take a great vacation and not worry about our cats while we were gone.”
“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”
“Attentive and responsive sitter. Victoria communicated with us during an unexpected neighborhood emergency, working with first responders to permit her access to our pets and relayed pertinent information to us. She thoughtfully informed us of issues which might point to a health concern. Will recommend and will certainly request her services again.”
“If there was more stars I’d highlight them. Amazing people and true love of animals and Blossom. Looking forward to my next get away knowing I feel comfortable and safe with them. Happy Birthday Carol Ann!”
“Melissa was great with Willow and it only took one day for Willow to warm up with, which says alor, considering Willow tends to hide when new people come around. I hope to use Melissa again, when I need to travel.”
“Jessica was great! This was the 1st real vacation that we've taken in 10 yrs all because we couldn't leave our 3 kitties boarded. We agreed to try Rover & after meeting Jessica, we knew we were doing the right thing! Our kitties are spoiled... no doubt about it... and it was going to take a special person to be patient & loving enough for this task! Enter Jessica! We had the best person for the job! I see other vacays in our future! Thank you Jessica (& Rover).”
About: I grew up around cats and have always been comfortable caring for them and understanding their different personalities and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped care for cats in both home and pet sitting settings, including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm environment while owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I've been blessed to have had dogs and cats most of my entire life. This is the first time I haven't had my own dog and I miss her daily. Pet sitting fills a void in my heart and I will do everything to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. I recently relocated back to California from Lake Lure, North Carolina. My entire community in Western NC was devastated by Hurricane Helene and I was evacuated and returned home near my family. I have enjoyed all of the amazing dogs and animals I have had the pleasure of sitting in the past through Rover.com. Now that I am back in CA I would like to continue my work with animals. I am a responsible caring person who loves animals and am currently available to help with your pets in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, or Santa Ynez Valley. I would never trust a client's dog off a leash. Your animals will never be left alone and always escorted on their walks, unless otherwise told by the owner. Your pets will enjoy the comforts of their own home and be safe while you are away.
“Misty came by for a third meet and greet with Mia and we went over feeding instructions and the walking route for her morning post breakfast walk. Mia recognized Misty and was wagging her tail. Misty was good with Mia and there were no problems walking, or coming in the house. Misty was on time, even for early morning visit which was appreciated. Thanks!”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”
“Angela was wonderful. My cat was put on twice daily medicine a week before I was scheduled to go on vacation. I was very worried about how she would handle me going away, but she loved Angela! Angela also gave all 14 doses at their prescribed times and sent me lovely pictures at every visit! I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”

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.

About: Certified by the American Red Cross in Dog and Cat First Aid/CPR, includes training on CPR, choking, wound care, seizures and general care. Our family has had dogs for over 20 years. We have loved and cared for them from puppies to seniors. We currently have 2 gentle dogs in our household that play well with other dogs. Dogs are invited to play in our fenced in yard and swim in our pool. My husband and I both work from home that provides us with ample time during breaks and lunches to play and care for ours and your pets. My husband works 7 days on and then has 7 days off. This provides him with a lot of flexibility to provide attention to our furry friends. When our teenage son is home from school, he too enjoys playing with the pooches. We split our time between Florida and Minnesota, so some of our pictures may have palm trees or pine trees, depending on where we are. :) Our yard is fenced in and we do have access to a field for dogs to play fetch. We allow dogs to swim in the pool with the owners permission. Our flooring has no carpet so messes are easy to clean up. Vaccination & Flea Treatment Requirement: For the safety of our dogs, and the future dogs we will be sitting, we require proof of up to date vaccinations and flea/tick treatment. A copy or picture of your pets most recent veterinarian visit summary will be fine.
“Chrissy was quick to respond, which was so appreciated when we realized we needed a dog sitter at the last minute. Our dog Elsa was spoiled with healthy treats and play pals- dog tv and attention. We recommend Chrissy and who knows if she’s doing a pick up anyway, she may pick your dog too. Pleasant experience working with her.”

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child.

And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.

“My golden doodle, Brandy had her first sleep over with Charles and she loved it! While there, Brandy was treated like family. She was comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

“Lori is AMAZING! It takes a very special pet sensitive person to be able to calm a new rescue animal who has been through trauma. Lori had Pippy literally eating out of her hand by the second walk! And Kingsley was equally pleased with her services! 6 paws 🐾🐾 🐾! ❤️”
About: Back in 2014, my parents adopted my sweet Sadie girl! Ever since then, I have learned the responsibility of caring for my girl and giving her all the lovings! She has led me to caring for other dogs by walking and feeding them at their owners request. I’m a full-time teacher for FCPS, but am looking for something to do after school and on the weekends. I am available 7 days a week other than when my brewery that I work at part-time schedules me. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Saturday and Sunday. I can also be available on weekdays in the late afternoon. Once summer comes around, I will be very flexible and will adjust to your schedule. I am more than willing to bring your puppy to my fenced in courtyard at my apartment complex. I am comfortable putting dogs into crates as well and feeding.

I have a front and backyard -the back has a linai and a pool but it is enclosed. I have access to multiple fields nearby to my house. I allow dogs to swim in the pool with the owner's permission. My house flooring has no carpet so messes are easy to clean up. Requirement: For the safety of our future dogs we will be sitting,we require proof of up to date vaccinations and flea/tick treatment. A copy or picture of your pets most recent veterinarian visit summary will be fine.
“Shayla is wonderful. Shaggy came home happy and full of zest and for an old dog, that's great. Shayla's home has plenty of room for playing and exploring (something Shaggy does a lot of). She sent me many pictures while I was out of town and they are all keepers.”
“This is the second vacation that we’ve left Benji with Debbie and she is the BEST! Her home is perfectly setup for doggies and her little guy Teddy is the greatest playmate!! I will absolutely continue to book Debbie as often as possible!”
“We are retired so we travel a lot. We have never boarded our dogs with a more competent dog sitter. Our dogs actually leep out of the car to get to her when we drive in the driveway. Our dogs are English Bulldog Champions and one is intact, but Peggy manages his care profesionally--even on Thanksgiving day. As a vet technician she was also able to administer medication to our older dog. She lives on a farm so there is a lot of area for dogs to run off leash. They don't sleep in a kennel building, they sleep in her house! She is a lovely person with a good heart.”
“Korie is amazing! She was available last minute and took such great care of my fur baby. Sending me constant updates which I loved, our pup had the best weekend vacation with her!”
“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”
“Tiffany was a pleasure to work with. A beautiful loving family where Duke fit right in. I was kept updated frequently, received photos of Duke. She was kind to give Duke a bath near end of his stay. Great experience. Highly recommended. We'll be coming back!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Yanni took great care of my elderly dog. She gave him the love and attention he needs. I was so grateful for finding her in Rover and will not hesitate using her in the future. I highly recommend Yanni to anyone that needs to board their fur babies.”
