“Maria did a great job taking care of Comet, and he was relaxed when I picked him up. Comet can be a bit of a handful if he gets overexcited, but Maria managed him well.”
“My dog’s home away from home, she absolutely loves being at Hailey and Will’s. I am never worried about her while she is there, I know they treat her as their own. She comes home wiped out from playing with their dogs which means I still get a little break when I get home.”
“Very kind, loved the picture updates, and my dog was very well cared for. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my dog because I knew he was being taken well cared of. Thank you!”
“Billy Boy and our family couldn't be more blessed to find Sonia. She is truly God sent. Previously we were boarding Billy which were AWFUL experiences, no updates nor feedback after pickup. Billy had stress colitis for days after. We knew boarding was not an option and then heard about Rover. We requested for a meet up. A first meeting Sonia, we knew Billy would be comfortable and enjoy his time away from us. It was like going to an auntie's house. Sonia kept us posted with pictures and updates on his feeding / potty routines. Billy's loves playing and running so Sonia sent us notes about their walks and how he was getting along with the other puppies. During down time we could just see Billy feeling at home. Sonia sent many pictures of nap time on the couch and best of all bedtime with Sonia. Yes, Billy's a very spoiled son, yet Sonia accommodated when we told her Billy sleeps with us in bed. We know Billy definitely be well cared for his next visit. Praying it will be with Sonia , she is an amazing and compassionate young woman. If we could, we would rate 100 out of 5 stars! Thank you so much Sonia!!!”

“Theresa was amazing. She was so affectionate with Lexi. I received many photos during the stay which made me very comfortable that Lexi was getting great care. I will definitely use Theresa again.”
“My dogs love Caesar and his family. They run to his door every time we get there and I pick them up exhausted! Caesar accommodates us at a moments notice. I get off work late at times and he always makes sure my pups are taken care of. This level of peace of mind is immeasurable!”
“Amanda was so wonderful with our babies! She provided frequent updates, asked clarifying questions when needed, and gave both of our pups so much love and attention. They had the best time with her and I would highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I have loved dogs since childhood and worked training and caring for them since that time. I enjoy making dogs feel happy, loved and secure. I’m retired and enjoy walking. As a retiree I can devote as much time as needed for walks, play and cuddles! I also give unlimited belly rubs!! I have a large screened lanai for my charges to relax and enjoy the outdoors as well as a comfortable, safe home. I’m also experienced in giving meds.
“Jorge provided truly outstanding pet sitting service! From the moment he stepped in, my pets were not only well cared for—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear they felt safe and loved, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Communication with Jorge was amazing. He kept me updated regularly with photos and thoughtful messages, and was always quick to respond to any questions. His professionalism and warmth made the entire experience seamless. I would definitely recommend choosing Jorge for your pet sitting needs. He goes above and beyond, and your pets will thank you for it!”
“Joe is a great sitter and I knew Willa was in good hands. House and backyard set up is perfect to make the stay feel like home. The videos throughout the stay were great and reassuring. We and she will be back! Thanks.”
“Another great stay with Tonja and George! Tonja and George always send pictures, are so kind, and truly love dogs. Our pup always comes back happy and relaxed. Thanks Tonja and George!”
“Scott and Angel were simply amazing for us. When planning our 3-week trip abroad, one of our biggest concerns was finding a safe and fun place for our pup Noodle to stay. They were that and so much more. We received updates everyday about what Noodle did and how he was doing. Plus they sent us many pictures showing him play with all his new dog friends, endless toys, splash pad, and more. He even got a bath before we picked him up! It felt like he was truly treated as family. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands! We absolutely recommend using Scott and Angel for your own dog, whether for a daytime stay or a longterm vacation. Noodle bonded so much with their two doodles that we’ll need to schedule another drop-off soon!”
“Nicole was absolutely great. Couldn't be happier with her service, care and updates while watching our dog Molly. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a great care.”
“Adrienne and Nicholas took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town. Our girl developed a health concern and they provided exemplary care that provided us the assurance to us to able to enjoy the remainder of our trip. The whole family loved our girl as if she were their own. Plus the pictures, grooming, ans spoiling were so appreciated.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, including my fur baby that I raised since she was a puppy. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior cats, and all ages of dogs. I also used to volunteer at the Halo Rescue Cat Adoption Center when I first started pet sitting. I love all animals, including sea turtles! I am currently working as a non-profit sea turtle biologist and I am most available on weekends and select weekdays. Due to my flexible & partially remote schedule, I can take time throughout the day for potty breaks and walks. The key to effective pet care is constant supervision when pets are outside. This is where my experience as an environmental educator comes in as it has fine-tuned my ability to be constantly aware of my surroundings. Also, I am used to being a clear thinker in chaotic situations from my experience working with children.
“Melissa is terrific! She was fantastic at taking care of our senior cat and the extra care she needed. Great at communicating and sharing photos and videos.”

About: As someone who grew up in multi-dog homes with large and small breeds (a Lab, frenchies, and my current GSP and Weimaraner) I have gained plenty of experience walking, feeding, comforting, and cleaning up after pets. I've taken care of my dogs through every life stage from puppy to senior, and am loving the senior stage, (however I do miss my chaotic puppy😆). I’m very adamant about caring for pets and ensuring a quality service. Not only will I ensure your pet is taken care of but also happy. All dogs are my friends and I can guarantee a comfortable and happy pup!! 😊🐾 Working part time gives me more than enough time to care for your fur babies. I’ll typically work in the morning or afternoon and am able to negotiate a schedule to fit your needs At home, I have a fenced yard so I am able to let my dogs run free. Prior to the fence all I knew was leash and harness/collar, and am familiar with walking safety (checking ground temp, roadside safety, and emphasize awareness of dog body language and surroundings).
“This booking was during Hurricane Milton and Jeanice was so good at keeping in touch with us while we were away. The situation was stressful enough, but knowing Bumbu was taken care of made it less so.”
About: I have loved dogs since before I can remember! My parents rescued many dogs while I was a kid and I am comfortable with all energies and sizes. In Colorado, I spent a lot of time staying in clients homes with their dogs while they went on vacation. I would keep the same routine their dog knew and loved! I am flexible and willing to do whatever is needed to keep you and your pet happy and without worry! I am living at my dad’s helping with him and his dog at home. My schedule is very open and I could use some more time with dogs! Before moving here I was constantly dog sitting or walking. I try to get as much information about what the pet enjoys or is triggered by. Also knowing routines and things that need to be done. I am willing to do whatever is asked of me.
“Yaretzi or Nina was very punctually and I didn't have a worry with my fur babies while she was watching them. The only thing I would suggest is that she be more attentive to my dogs in the 30 minute window of the drop in service”
“Jonathan was absolutely fantastic caring for our cat Sheba for 4 days during Thanksgiving. He was very polite, attentions, and accommodating to all our needs. He communicated with us at each twice-a-day visit, letting us know how she was, which gave us peace of mind. I cannot thank him enough for all the care and good work. We highly recommend him and we will definitely have him again.”
“Judy is a super person, very dependable, communicates well, can handle anything and took great care of our 4 cats on late notice so we could make our trip without stressing over whether our animals were being checked on. Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wabasso
“Raelin was very responsive by text message and through the app. I appreciated her flexibility with me. We requested to change our plans while my dog was in her care and she was very accommodating. She was a huge help and my family was able to enjoy a short trip to Vero Beach over a long weekend, thanks to her services. We will definitely seek her out again next time we stay in Vero Beach.”
“Kayleigh and her family have been such a great find as new residents! You can tell how much they love and care for the dogs. She takes care of Frank like he is her own and has been so responsive and flexible to our needs. I highly highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“After a meet-and-greet with Hailey and Will, they took Samuel for the day. It went so well that any time in the future when I'll need either daycare or boarding for Sam they will definitely be my "go-to" resource. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hailey/Will , , ,”
“Beatriz was great with Samuel and clearly he had an active, good time during his visit, Sam has a good deal of energy and when I brought him home, he went right down for the evening . . . always a solid indicator! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beatriz and will use her again.”
About: Hello everyone thank you for taking a look at my profile. I will be in south Florida until August. I recently moved to Manchester from Chattanooga and will service all surrounding areas. Growing up I had a love for animals which was apparent by me caring for the cities uncared for and abandoned strays. (I fed everything that followed me home). It was only fitting as an adult I became a Firefighter enabling me to help people and animals on a much larger scale. During my time in the fire service, I was deployed to help in the rescue effort after the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Upon returning from my deployment, I wanted to learn how to train search and rescue dogs. In my quest to do so, I noticed a trend in rescue groups popping up all over, along with people abandoning their pets. There was an alarming rate of how many dogs were being taken to shelters and euthanized. My mission shifted once I realized I could help. I retired from the Broward Sheriff’s Office in 2015 to further my quest to help people have a better relationship with their furry friends by starting Dunne Right Dog Training. Today along with my sidekick Monster we are sharing our knowledge and passion for keeping these loving dogs in their happy homes furever. Should you decide to use me for any of your pets needs I can assure you that your 4-legged child will be safe and cared for as if they were my own. Your dog will be exercised both mentally and physically, along with any other instructions you have. Medical needs.... no problem! I volunteered at my Vet’s office for several years and assisted with multiple procedures along with medication administration. I recently moved to Chattanooga and will gladly provide further references upon request. I was once you looking for reliable “child” pet care and I know how valuable piece of mind is when it comes to our pets. Let me help give you that no worry service for whatever you, and your pet need. I currently work out of peoples homes and have a very balanced, flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week and in MOST instances can help you out last minute. I ask that you be courteous with any cancellations, while I know things come up please do not take advantage. Unfortunately at this time I do not have a fenced in yard. I do however go on daily hikes (weather permitting) with my dog, and clients dogs. If you would like your furry friend to join us it will be our pleasure. If you would like you dog to go to a specific park or place that you would like them to go, again I would gladly take them there. If you are more comfortable with your pets staying at home I will care for them in their surroundings. It’s up to you and what both the human and dog are comfortable with. At this time I am flexible and open to work with your schedule. Reach out to see if we can work together to ensure your pet has the right company while you’re away or busy. I’m i a house on 15 acres with a nice creek on the property. Plenty of room for the pups to stretch their legs and enjoy our walks. I have ample time to walk, play, and love on your fur babies. Just let me know what their daily routine is and I will stick to it… while adding in a little extra fun. I care for your pets as if they are my own. If there are special instructions you have I will follow those as to not disrup your pups routine.

“We drove to the area from North Carolina, needed a last-minute sitter for my dog and Ava was happy to oblige! She was very communicative, responded quickly, and was very open to my novel about my dog for a three hour stay! My girl has separation anxiety to the max and WAs extremely comfortable with Ava and her pups immediately! She was thoroughly tired after pickup, which was amazing after a 10 hour drive! We will be here for a week and plan on using her a few more times during our visit! She gave updates, and took great care of my girl!”

“Our schedule was hectic as I was the Event Planner for a big gathering in Sebastian, Florida. Charlyne was terrific! She not only worked with us but came to pick up our Coco and returned her to the hotel. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful young lady!! My little 12 pound poodle mix loved her!”
“Upon meeting Dee, it was like visiting with and old friend. She was very friendly, super relaxed and extremely welcoming to humans and dogs alike. Our very skittish fur baby made himself right at home from the moment we walked in the door. It was obvious to us that he could sense her relaxed and easy going demeanor. The photos that she sent during his visit, showed just how relaxed he was. We will definitely use Dee’s services again and highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 3 cats in my childhood home. I have one old boy left from then, and I still help out in his senior years. I have groomed those three at home, and since moving into my own house, I dog sit small-large sized dogs, both in my own home and in clients homes. I regularly brush the dog’s teeth, trim nails, bathe, and brush their overcoat. I also take care of the grooming for my own two cats. I’ve grown up around all different types of animals, so I’m ready for any specific needs your pets have. I’m currently unemployed and dog sitting to make money, so I am free at all times of the day and night to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but that’s no problem because I do not mind a little outside time to take them outside on the leash. I have a park down the street that I walk the dogs to so they can sniff around and stretch their legs. I can also do any extra food care, brushing, bathing, medication, or any needs you have from me. I can fit a crate if needed, but I don’t require any kind of crate.

“Stephanie was very gentle with my dog Wren and sensitive to the fact that he might be scared at being separated from me with new people for the first time (he's a "velcro" dog). Although her yard is not fenced in, and no other dogs were in the house that day, I was pleased that she took Wren for a walk in the park across the street from her house, and let him play with some other dogs that were there at the time. She sent me photos of Wren during the day, and from her messages I could tell that she was interacting with him. Wren came home tired and clean (the latter being an issue when I've taken him to commercial doggie daycare businesses.) I will definitely call upon Stephanie the next time I need her service.”

“Kathleen has been a lifesaver, stepped in at the very last minute after I began fostering a dog and needed coverage for a long work day 2x a week. Raider obviously adores her and she is prompt, thorough and very loving with Raider. I also scheduled an extra visit when I had an unexpected meeting and she was able and willing! She has had to roll with some issues as he is a new foster, out of shelter for 6 months and we are just getting a routine down. Thank you Kathleen!”

I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and routines, and I aim to make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. When I lived in Colorado, I went through extensive training with my own dog, which gave me a strong foundation in structure, consistency, and reading behavior. I now have the best boy, Scruff, and I bring that same level of care and awareness to every dog I work with. What I Provide: * Reliable, consistent care! * Walks and visits tailored to your dog’s energy level and routine. * Updates and photos so you always know how things are going. * Careful attention to behavior, mood, and any changes. * Respectful, clean care in your home and for your pet’s space. * Happy follow detailed instructions, routines, and preferences. * Will adapt to your dog’s positive and negative markers and work with cues that are already familiar to your family. What Sets Me Apart: * Lifelong experience with a variety of pets with a strong instinct for animal behavior. * Hands-on training experience, with a focus on structure and consistency. * Experience caring for a senior dog, so I understand patience, routine, and trust. * Calm, observant approach that works well for both energetic and more sensitive dogs. * Clear, consistent communication so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very selective about who cares for my own dog, Scruff, and hold myself to that same standard! I’m always happy to do a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible and dependable schedule for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I prioritize consistency for pets who thrive on routine. Because I have control over my day-to-day schedule, I’m intentional about the bookings I take on to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care. This also allows me to be responsive and flexible when needs shift or plans change. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and instructions so things feel as normal and stress-free as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, or any specific preferences your dog is used to. I’m mindful of the details that matter, like secure leashing, safe entry and exit, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. I also keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels, and I’ll communicate anything notable so you’re never left wondering how things are going. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets can settle in comfortably. My dog, Scruff, is well-trained, and I ensure any interactions are safe, gradual, and a good fit for both dogs, though I don’t do introductions without pet parents first! At the end of the day, I understand how much trust this takes. I treat every pet and home with the same level of care and respect that I expect for my own.
About: I really enjoy being outdoors and walking my dogs regularly, since I was able to take a few steps I've enjoyed walking dogs. I have always felt I have a good connection with animals in general (except spiders). I understand you must be patient when taking dogs for a walk as some dogs may be older and have different needs. I've had dogs as small as chihuahuas to yellow labs. I volunteer at animal services and Born Free animal shelter when I can. I really care about the well being of dogs and their happiness. I can bring treats on our walk or any toy they enjoy. I am very athletic so I have no problem running with the dog(s) either. I understand the importance of being able to trust that your animals are in safe hands♥️ I teach at a local elementary school so afternoons work best for me! I’m available any time of day on the weekends. My husband is home during the day and is able to help out as well if your baby is at our house The safety of your pet and of mine are my number one priority. If I’m taking care of your baby at my house, The animals will not ever be left alone, especially if it’s a new introduction. And if I’m coming to you, any and all detailed directions are very much appreciated.

I will treat your fur kid the same way. I also have experience with senior pets, as I had an old pug, who was the love of my life. I’m a runner and I can keep up with your pet.

“My dog’s home away from home, she absolutely loves being at Hailey and Will’s. I am never worried about her while she is there, I know they treat her as their own. She comes home wiped out from playing with their dogs which means I still get a little break when I get home.”
“Very kind, loved the picture updates, and my dog was very well cared for. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my dog because I knew he was being taken well cared of. Thank you!”
“Billy Boy and our family couldn't be more blessed to find Sonia. She is truly God sent. Previously we were boarding Billy which were AWFUL experiences, no updates nor feedback after pickup. Billy had stress colitis for days after. We knew boarding was not an option and then heard about Rover. We requested for a meet up. A first meeting Sonia, we knew Billy would be comfortable and enjoy his time away from us. It was like going to an auntie's house. Sonia kept us posted with pictures and updates on his feeding / potty routines. Billy's loves playing and running so Sonia sent us notes about their walks and how he was getting along with the other puppies. During down time we could just see Billy feeling at home. Sonia sent many pictures of nap time on the couch and best of all bedtime with Sonia. Yes, Billy's a very spoiled son, yet Sonia accommodated when we told her Billy sleeps with us in bed. We know Billy definitely be well cared for his next visit. Praying it will be with Sonia , she is an amazing and compassionate young woman. If we could, we would rate 100 out of 5 stars! Thank you so much Sonia!!!”

“My dogs love Caesar and his family. They run to his door every time we get there and I pick them up exhausted! Caesar accommodates us at a moments notice. I get off work late at times and he always makes sure my pups are taken care of. This level of peace of mind is immeasurable!”
“Amanda was so wonderful with our babies! She provided frequent updates, asked clarifying questions when needed, and gave both of our pups so much love and attention. They had the best time with her and I would highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!”

“Jorge provided truly outstanding pet sitting service! From the moment he stepped in, my pets were not only well cared for—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear they felt safe and loved, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Communication with Jorge was amazing. He kept me updated regularly with photos and thoughtful messages, and was always quick to respond to any questions. His professionalism and warmth made the entire experience seamless. I would definitely recommend choosing Jorge for your pet sitting needs. He goes above and beyond, and your pets will thank you for it!”
“Joe is a great sitter and I knew Willa was in good hands. House and backyard set up is perfect to make the stay feel like home. The videos throughout the stay were great and reassuring. We and she will be back! Thanks.”
“I want to sincerely thank her for the excellent care she gave to my dog Bella. She was very loving and kind to both Bella and me from the very beginning. She was always attentive, communicative, and patiently answered all of my questions. She also kept me updated at all times with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her 100% for the care, dedication, and love she puts into her work.”
“Felicia and Greg are absolutely top notch sitters. I knew from the meet and greet that my female boxer Daisy would be in great hands and have a blast while being cared for over the week and a half. It is evident that Felicia and Greg gave a lot of attention and love to Daisy in my absence. They have a beautiful piece of land for the doggos to get plenty of exercise and the pictures on a regular basis made me so happy because I could see that Daisy was comfortable and happy in a typically stressful time for her (moving and being away from us). Very prompt responses, professional, and I will certainly be reaching out for any future sitting needs for Daisy.”
“Ashley was an amazing host for Rocky. We met prior to his first overnight visit so he could get acquainted. Ashley has a wonderful set up and welcomes pets into her home. The yard was perfect to allow good runs and exploration. Ashely kept me up to date with each day's happenings and relieved any stress I might have had from leaving my dog. She also had experience with French Bullldogs. I would definitely use her again to watch my dog and recommend her for anyone in the area.”
“She's so beautiful & wonderful person. My #1 on my list...She took care of my dog in an amazing way... My wife & I connected with her since day one. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pet.”
“Mia came through in a pinch for us and was an excellent choice to watch our mid-sized dog. She happily accepted boarding of Tilly on short notice over a holiday period. She asked questions about Tilly’s needs, sent photos daily, was very prompt in her communication and very prepared for both dropoff and final pickup. Thx Mia - we will be in touch again!”
“Samantha did amazing with Thor! He’s my baby and I was so worried he’d be sad or freaking out since we aren’t apart much but I was sent pics daily and was able to know he was well taken care of and very happy! 10/10 would recommend using Sam for all your dog sitting needs. If I ever need to board Thor again I will be reaching out to Samantha!”
