“Our darling Roo had another great visit with her favorite sitter, Nancy! We are so grateful to have found Nancy, as she provides us with excellent peace of mind when we are away. We can vacation much more comfortably knowing that Roo is enjoying all the same love, time, attention, and snuggles she would get at home with us. Thank you Nancy for always taking such great care of our girl!”
“Yelena is the consummate dog sitter. She does everything perfectly. My dog was thrilled to see her when we returned for a second boarding. Yelena gave her so much love, attention, and care including some meds she had to take twice a day.. I am so lucky to have her sit for my pup! Love her!”

“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service!

He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of our sweet puppy. We really appreciated and enjoyed the regular pictures and updates. While she is happy to be home, we know she had a fun time with Joseph and family!”
“I booked with Michael for three nights, and it was a great experience. He takes great precaution to ensure that your dog and his dog are comfortable and happy throughout the visit. He also only takes in one dog at a time which provides assurance that no unknown dogs will be staying with yours while you are away. He takes them on regular walks, and provides text and photo updates throughout the day, especially when there is something cute that he knows you can't miss out on. I would definitely utilize Michael's services again.”

“Caitlin was amazing with my girls while I was out of town! They took to her right away, and I was totally at ease knowing they were well cared for and getting lots of love. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them as if they were her own. Communication was seamless and Caitlin made the whole process stress-free - I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!!”
“Katie was an amazing host! Our dog Nellie seemed to be having the time of her life and left happy! I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a comfortable and fun vacation for their pet :)”

“Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.”
“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave!

About: I have experience caring for cats and am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and providing companionship. I grew up with a cat and have cared for cats for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. As a lifelong animal lover, rescue volunteer, foster, and pet owner, I understand the importance of dependable, attentive care and treating every pet like one of my own.
“Mary is a wonderful sitter. I come home to very relaxed happy fur babies. She did overnights and my house was clean and neat just like I left it ! Mary is the best I won’t ever use anyone else 🥰”
“I am fully satisfied with the care Maura gave to my two cats. I got home after a week and everything seems as I left it, including two happy kitties. I would definitely ask for her help again.”
“Karley was so great taking care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, took care of all of his needs, plus gave him his medicine and spent 30 minutes with him each day. She would also send a cute picture daily too! We will definitely use Karley again!”
“Lindsay was fabulous with my two kitty cats. She loved them like her own and they loved her back. Lindsay is dependable and trustworthy and I would highly recommend her to care for your kitkats.”
“Joseph and Christine are great! They are communicative, and I felt confident leaving my pet in their care. I certainly recommend them to other pet owners.”
About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors for about 2 years now, and am particularly passionate about getting dogs the outdoor time and exercise they need. I love seeing how much joy and excitement it brings them. I work from home and typically take my own dog on 20-30 minute walks and want to extend the favor to those with less flexible schedules! I work full-time from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available during weekdays and weekends, and am usually up fairly early to take care of pups who need early-morning care! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prefer to have detailed instructions so I can ensure care is provided properly. I also make it a top priority to leave the home the same, if not better, than I found it.
“Helen is the best sitter we have had and always our top choice to take care of our boys when we travel. She was patient with them and won them over. You can tell from her updates and her pictures how much she cares and how much our cats adore her; from leg rubs to licks to sitting together.”
“Jennifer does a great job with our cats. She is very thorough and reliable. We greatly appreciate the attention and care she gives our cats while we are away. She is one of the best sitters we have worked with on Rover!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for the past ten years for neighbors, friends, and folks I meet around town. Our feline friends are each unique and deserve to be treated with the ultimate respect and kindness that matches their temperament. I’m happy to meet cats where they are — respecting their boundaries, offering a comforting presence, and listening to their cues to ensure they feel safe and loved. This looks different for every kitty, so I like to collaborate with owners to find out how best to care for their furry friend! I’m available for drop-ins, overnights, and walks.
“It was a pleasure having Yelena watch our three cats for almost 2 weeks. The pictures and videos she sent were wonderful to check out thousands of miles away from home. I would recommend Yelena unconditionally.”
About: Over the course of growing up, I had 7 cats (indoor/outdoor) of every mix and age. While I love cats, as an adult I've never had a chance to adopt one. Even though I'm no longer a cat mom, I've always jumped at the chance to hang out with and care for my friends' cats! From a 14 year old Tabby to two newborn ragdoll kittens, I have a lot of experience playing with, feeding, and snuggling all types of cats. As a special bonus, I also have a lot of positive experience in households with both cats & dogs and so I'm happy to take care of both!
About: I am a very detail-orientated person. Any pup I sit for I make sure to recognize theirs behaviors and needs and adjust my typical routine for them. This ensures they’re comfortable with me and have a great experience while their family is away! I am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I like to dogsit between classes or on weekends. Since I can’t have dogs at my apartment here at school being able to take care of yours is amazing. Any time I can spend with dogs serves as a tremendous street relief for me as well! When I care for pets I aim to keep everything as normal and possible and stick to their already established schedule. This allows the dog to feel more comfortable considering the family is gone. I am open to walks, play time or anything else that your dog enjoys!
“Gabby was so amazing! It was clear through the photos she sent that my cat Athena loved having her stop by. I really appreciated the notes on how she was doing while I traveled as well.”

“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She graciously accepted my VERY last minute booking request, was easy to communicate/coordinate with, and a breeze for drop off and pick up. She was just what Mandy needed as we train her separation anxiety. I loved the pictures she sent of their time together. Was very nice to know my pup was in safe, loving hands! And her backyard looks like a dog’s paradise which was perfect for Mandy’s addiction to ball throwing!!”
“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”

About: Caring for children has been my career for over 15 years. Working in education, I know that trust isn't given, its earned through consistency, communication and genuine care.

About: Taking care of pets has always been my utmost passion! I was an elementary school teacher in BROWARD county for over 25 years. In 2020, I made the difficult decision to take an early retirement from teaching in an effort to pursue my life long passion and goal... caring for pets in a loving, nurturing and trusting manner.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. We have had anywhere from 1 to 4 dogs at a time. As a family of four with two working parents, I have always been responsible to care for my dogs in the way they need. I currently work remotely for my full time job. I tend to do some traveling but also have much free time on my hands when I am at home. My two dogs at home are fully potty trained. I am comfortable taking them out on leashes, cleaning up after them, and crating them if needed.
About: I’ve been a pet owner and sitter for well over 15 years now. My dog of a lifetime was a Great Dane that was my first baby and passed away just over a year ago. I’m very comfortable with seniors. I’ve been responsible for walking and feeding not only my pets, but also many neighbors and friends who have relied on me. I treat each animal like they are my own and make sure to give them the love and attention that I would want mine to have. I work part-time and create my own hours so I am able to enjoy the flexibility to work around the needs of my clients. This allows me to put your pet first. My husband also tag teams things with me.

I live in an apartment with my dog and two cats so any pet coming to visit would need to be ok not being the only baby. I do have a large crate if needed.

I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends when needed. I always arrive on time and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs on leash unless you request otherwise in a secure area, provide fresh water after walks, and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. I’ll send photo updates after every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Thank you Mary for always taking such great care of our (big!) boys! Your updates and photos make our time away from home so much more relaxing knowing that they are so well cared for. Appreciate you so much!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has experience with dogs of every stripe! From the gentle giant St. Bernard to the spunky rescue Chihuahua, I've had experience caring for (and loving) dogs of every size, age, & breed. After growing up surrounded by cats & dogs, I adopted my own senior rescue pup, Missy Elliot, about 10 years ago. Missy crossed the rainbow bridge back in April but she created a soft spot in my heart for Senior dogs and I would love nothing more than to spend some time taking your senior on leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff. At the same time, I would also love taking a younger pup to the park & working with them on how to sit! I am currently between positions and so, starting mid-July, my calendar is wide open. I have a few scattered trips in late August, but otherwise I am free. As the mom of a pup myself, I am very attuned to the specific needs of each dog or cat. I do my best to integrate myself into the pet's best schedule and I stay in consistent communication with you to check in. Plus, I try to send at least two pictures/updates a day so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life! I grew up with 2 labs and then later on adopted 2 beautiful huskies. Over time I have learned that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to get to know each one and provide care that's tailored to their needs. I'm comfortable with administering oral medications when needed, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and providing plenty of love! I also keep pet parents informed with regular updates, photos, and messages so they can feel confident their dog is happy and safe while they're away. I currently work part time for a coffee shop. I mainly work afternoons so I’ll be able to visit your babies once to twice in the morning/ early afternoon and then again in the evening when I get off! I currently live in an apartment with a small dog and a cat. We keep doors locked/ closed to prevent the cat from slipping out. I take out my small dog regularly for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. We use our dog park to let our dog interact with others. They both get lots of interaction and have so so many toys!
About: Hi! I’m Olivia and I’m excited to pet sit for you. I’ve been a part time pet sitter for 6 years taking care of cats and dogs (of all sizes). I have experience in pet sitting for young puppies & kittens as well as older more medically complex pets. I am more than comfortable giving medication to pets and allergy shots. Although my pet sitting experience has been focused only 6 years. Prior to this I fostered countless kittens and puppies with the humane society of Charlotte ensuring I met all of their socialization needs for their future home! I have two kitties of my own, Winifred and Beatrice who have brought me so much joy and I’m excited to love on your pet as I do my own! I currently work 7 to 4 in office most days but am available morning, lunch times and the evenings. I love to fill my time taking care of animals! I love to make sure all animals feel comfortable with me. I never approach without letting them sniff me and make sure to always give space when needed. I am always gentle and quiet around more shy animals until I gain their trust.
About: Growing up I have had dogs and always been around dogs. I recently had to put my dog down but she was epileptic and needed a lot of love and care so I am use to that as well. I love to see the smiles and tail wiggles! Being self-employed gives me the flexibility to spend lots of quality time with your fur babies, ensuring they receive consistent care, love, and companionship while you're away. I know how important pets are—they're family. I'll make sure they stick to their normal routine, get plenty of attention, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away.

“I booked with Michael for three nights, and it was a great experience. He takes great precaution to ensure that your dog and his dog are comfortable and happy throughout the visit. He also only takes in one dog at a time which provides assurance that no unknown dogs will be staying with yours while you are away. He takes them on regular walks, and provides text and photo updates throughout the day, especially when there is something cute that he knows you can't miss out on. I would definitely utilize Michael's services again.”

He kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout Theo’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Theo seemed happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I picked him up. Brenton clearly has a natural way with dogs, and I really appreciated the calm environment he provided. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Will definitely book with him again!”
