Personalized care for your dog or cat - Chicora
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chicora
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Danielle was such a wonderful caregiver to our 2 dogs and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. She sent videos of them playing and even took them around the area so they weren’t left alone long. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our furry children😊”
“Excellent sitter for my 2 large labs. They were treated like family and even took homecoming pictures! Would absolutely recommend Allison and her family to take care of your fur baby. Great people l!”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Highly recommend Stacey for dog boarding. We kept our pup there for 4-5 days recently. Stacey was very communicative as well as flexible wrt drop-off and pick-up times. They have a lot of open grounds at the property and long leads so that dogs can run around. I think my beagle pup had a lot of fun being outdoors at Stacey’s”
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’d love to care for your furry family member. I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including a German Shepherd/Husky mix, as well as experience caring for farm animals. I also have my own Mini Australian Shepherd, Axel, so I understand the patience, exercise, and attention dogs need every day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family, providing plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, and supervision. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and my husband works from home full-time, so there is someone home throughout the day to provide supervision, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m home every evening and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off to spend extra time playing, walking, and giving your pup plenty of attention. I’ll make sure your dog gets the love, care, and routine they deserve while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate training, and any special requests. My Mini Australian Shepherd, Axel, is friendly and enjoys other dogs, but I always recommend a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Emily took good care of Lexie. She sent me photos everyday and she was able to take my dog on for walks as well. Will definitely recommend and she will be my point of contact for next sitting.”
About: I'm home most of the time, ❤️ . I love dogs with a passion. Every dog that comes into my house are extended family 🐾 I currently am a business owner that runs Itself. I can be available most of the the time. The only time I am not is early mornings until 2pm. Then home most of the days. Walking I can do Monday, Tuesday , Wednesday , Saturday and Sunday. Dogs must be equipped to be okay with strollers. In home they will be in our garage that is heated and air conditioned it's attached to our home and our entry way. It is a second living space. Dogs must be potty trained or/and create trained. Any specific dog schedule for walking and play time please let me know. I know that some dogs like specific times of walk and play. We live on 2 acres that hoping to get fenced in the next year. We like hiking so your dogs into that please have all flea and tick things they require. All dogs must be vaccinated and up to date on shots as we have 2 dogs. All dogs must be good with small children. Home sitting /walking in mostly available afternoon night time. Dogs during these 2 services do not need to be good with small children as my child will not be with me. Any questions on the space they will be at you can come and take a tour or I can send you pictures. ❤️🐾
“Michelle and Sami were amazing!! They took great care of our very active Weimeraner puppy and it was obvious that he was showered with affection by their family. They're very experienced in training/caring for different breeds, and their Goldens were great pals to our dog. We are so grateful for their help and care!”
“Gina and Brian (and their 4 legged child - Zoe) welcomed Boo into their home on short notice. This was our first time with a service like Rover, and we were apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with a private family. We could see that Boo was comfortable with Gina when we dropped her off, and Gina kept us informed all along the way with texts and pictures. None of the places that we have boarded Boo before have given her the attention and affection she received from Gina and Brian. There is no doubt that we will be using them again - as well as highly recommend them.”
“Our dog raced to the front door remembering her stay with Jena and Nick from last year. She remained happy and was able to stick to her normal routines while there. Jena sent pictures and updates regularly and was good about reporting any concerns or issues such as the air quality preventing long walks. They were genuinely concerned about Liz’s well being which is so important to us. Our pet was well cared for, and we plan to use them any time we need a dog sitter. We find them to be reliable, caring, and responsible and know Liz is in good hands while we are away.”
“Cheryl gives my pup a second home away from home - I could tell from the many pictures she sent that he was comfortable, happy, and loved just like he is with his family. I could not be more pleased. Thank you for being awesome, Cheryl <3”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Our sitter was amazing! We have a high energy stubborn pup and Katie and her family handled her extremely well!! We got lots of updates and photos while we were away so we knew our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“Dani and her husband were wonderful hosts -- great with their own dogs, and great with ours. Our dog got lots of exercise and tennis-ball chasing, and as much of a vacation as we did. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful. Treated my pup like a prince and stayed in touch sending updates and videos. So glad we found her. My only hesitation in leaving this review is that once others know how great she is, she won’t have availability for my dog :)”

About: While I’ve mostly owned dogs over the years, watching over friends’ and neighbors’ cats have given me experience and taught me how to approach and handle cats (especially in comparison to dogs). I’ve even successfully administered shots to a neighbor’s diabetic cat with little to no fuss!
“Tina was amazing at letting us know how our girls were doing every day! She would send me text updates, letting us know how they were doing and eating and she sent adorable pictures and videos of our babies.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chicora
“GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!! We were in town working a vendor event at Cooper's Lake. I took my dogs to Gina for doggy day care while we were at the event. One of my dogs is a big, strong, hyper, crazy, high energy goofball that loves everyone and and wants to play nonstop. The other dog is the polar opposite. She's a rescue that came from some unknown traumatic past. She doesn't trust people easily and it takes her a while to warm up to you. Gina matches both their energy perfectly, and they love her! When they spotted her house they were so excited! Even my Paisley was so excited she was squealing! When you have a dog like that you worry about their happiness all the time because they're so emotionally fragile and it takes a LOT for you to leave them with someone unless your 100% sure they're ok. Gina is that type of dogsitter. During the day I got pictures of them on their adventures around her property, updates about their mood and silly pictures of them playing and eating their snacks. She spoiled them rotten! Every night I picked them up they were happy, happy, happy and exhausted! If you need someone to care for your pups I can't even begin to tell you how fantastic my experience was with Gina.”
“Evan and Courtney took great care of our dog when she was with them for a day. Our dog spent the day running around with Murphy and came home tired and ready to nap 😃 we highly recommend them for anyone seeking pet care services!”
“Maria and Tony took amazingly great care of both of our dogs! One of our dogs is elderly, and is blind and deaf, and they made him feel very much at home and we’re attentive to his needs. Our other dog can be a little bit salty and they showed her love and she immediately warmed up to them. Would absolutely use them again!”
About: I've always had a love for animals and have taken an interest in training canines, and I'm taking the first steps to begin my career as a professional dog trainer. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and I'm very easy to communicate with. Your pets needs come first always and I can accommodate most situations. I can even send daily pictures and updates. I have a big back yard, I also have a spare room for my fluffy visitors. I live walking distance from a local, dog friendly, park with walking trails. I have education in canine enrichment and traning. I utilize baby gates and crates to maximize safety when I'm unavailable to immediately have an eye on my guest.
About: I am pet CPR and first aid certified. My husband and I have a 5 year old pug. He’s super friendly and loves other dogs. No children in the home. My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day so I can provide frequent potty breaks. I can also provide daily walks or playtime either indoors or in our fenced yard. Our pug is dependent and has a special diet so we’re understanding and happy to accommodate your dog's needs. We do crate, but only when we’re away from the house, which is rare. Please message me with any questions! My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day so I can provide frequent potty breaks. I can also provide daily walks or playtime either indoors or in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard but rarely leave our dog out unattended regardless. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and a large loop ideal for walking as well as a nice walking path.
“Brittany has been such a blessing for me, giving me such peace of mind knowing my pup is well cared for and happy while I'm gone. I have a rescue lab puppy - full of energy with a bit of anxiety thrown in - and she is patient and kind with him, while making sure he does what he should (or shouldn't)! My pup gets excited as we pull up in the car, and can't wait to get out! Brittany sends updates and pictures throughout the day so I can see how he's doing, and I pick up a happy, tired puppy - I feel fortunate to have found Brittany!”

“Laura is incredible. My dog is fairly obsessed with both Laura and her husband and I have full confidence she is well loved and cared for when she's at Laura's. All the stars!”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing with my dog! He was a little nervous at first, but she made him feel comfortable, and he ended up really enjoying his stay. Since he's an older pup, I was naturally a bit worried about leaving him, but Cheryl kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry family member. She's a 10 out of 10!”
“Stacey was amazing. She was very kind, personable and caring. My dog had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Lots of walks and fun. Stacey was also excellent at communicating and keeping me updated with messages and pictures. Already booked boarding with her. Thanks Stacey for watching Rafa!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals for 8 years now! I have experience mainly with dogs and cats but have also taken care of reptiles and fish as well! I have experience in walking pets, giving medicine, and pretty much any other tasks you need done! I currently have multiple repeat clients that I take care of weekly but would love to fit more into my schedule! I also have 6 pets of my own that I take care of every single day! I will make sure your fur baby is safe and protected at all times! I’m very good with animals and absolutely love working with them!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!
About: Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me. for as long as i can remember, i’ve wanted to take care of animals in some fashion. Rover is the perfect way to do that while i’m still in college! I work part time at Getgo on south pike rd, while also going to school full time for Psychology. I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.
About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!
“Courtney was so caring and loving to our mini australian shepherd. Our dog is just a year old and this is the first time that we’ve had to go on an overnight trip without her. We were gone 4 days and our dog was very anxious. Courtney was a calming, loving and caring presence for her. She did an excellent job. We will definitely have her again and highly recommend her.”

I faced timed and texted the animal mom frequently over the weekend so she felt better while away from her children(1 dog 2 cats). Thank you and have a great day! I am currently a stay at home mom so your fur babies will never be alone. I am available for any and all of your animals needs. I have a large back yard and different tie out spots for the dogs to be safe. One friendly large dog and an autistic almost 6 year old daughter starting kindergarten. So I will mostly be me and the dogs.
“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”
About: I am currently a vet technician in the Naples area and am in my final semester for an MBA in healthcare. I have past experience as a dog trainer and have been a technician for 7 years. I grew up with dogs and have pet sit for family and friends so I truly understand they are part of the family. I have years of experience with canines in all different settings. I am great at reading canine behavior and have worked with all breeds. My years of experience in veterinary medicine as well as being a dog owner provide me with the ability to take care of all of your pets needs and to recognize and resolve any problem that may arise. I am on rover because I am looking for extra work while in school as I am not able to work as many hours I would like to as a technician due to school. I also just love meeting new pet friends! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am willing to work with whatever schedule to meet your pets needs provided I have that time available. I enjoy meet and greets to see a pets daily routine. Routine is vital for a healthy pet. My goal is to avoid break in this routine as little as possible while proving pets attention and entertainment to help ease stress of the break in routine from owners being absent.

This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.

“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Danielle was such a wonderful caregiver to our 2 dogs and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. She sent videos of them playing and even took them around the area so they weren’t left alone long. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our furry children😊”
“Excellent sitter for my 2 large labs. They were treated like family and even took homecoming pictures! Would absolutely recommend Allison and her family to take care of your fur baby. Great people l!”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Highly recommend Stacey for dog boarding. We kept our pup there for 4-5 days recently. Stacey was very communicative as well as flexible wrt drop-off and pick-up times. They have a lot of open grounds at the property and long leads so that dogs can run around. I think my beagle pup had a lot of fun being outdoors at Stacey’s”
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’d love to care for your furry family member. I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including a German Shepherd/Husky mix, as well as experience caring for farm animals. I also have my own Mini Australian Shepherd, Axel, so I understand the patience, exercise, and attention dogs need every day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family, providing plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, and supervision. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and my husband works from home full-time, so there is someone home throughout the day to provide supervision, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m home every evening and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off to spend extra time playing, walking, and giving your pup plenty of attention. I’ll make sure your dog gets the love, care, and routine they deserve while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate training, and any special requests. My Mini Australian Shepherd, Axel, is friendly and enjoys other dogs, but I always recommend a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Emily took good care of Lexie. She sent me photos everyday and she was able to take my dog on for walks as well. Will definitely recommend and she will be my point of contact for next sitting.”
“Michelle and Sami were amazing!! They took great care of our very active Weimeraner puppy and it was obvious that he was showered with affection by their family. They're very experienced in training/caring for different breeds, and their Goldens were great pals to our dog. We are so grateful for their help and care!”
“Gina and Brian (and their 4 legged child - Zoe) welcomed Boo into their home on short notice. This was our first time with a service like Rover, and we were apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with a private family. We could see that Boo was comfortable with Gina when we dropped her off, and Gina kept us informed all along the way with texts and pictures. None of the places that we have boarded Boo before have given her the attention and affection she received from Gina and Brian. There is no doubt that we will be using them again - as well as highly recommend them.”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Our sitter was amazing! We have a high energy stubborn pup and Katie and her family handled her extremely well!! We got lots of updates and photos while we were away so we knew our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“Dani and her husband were wonderful hosts -- great with their own dogs, and great with ours. Our dog got lots of exercise and tennis-ball chasing, and as much of a vacation as we did. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful. Treated my pup like a prince and stayed in touch sending updates and videos. So glad we found her. My only hesitation in leaving this review is that once others know how great she is, she won’t have availability for my dog :)”
“Our dog, Hudson, had such a great time staying at Dana’s! He is very high energy so we were pleasantly surprised when he was all tuckered out from playing with Cooper. We also appreciated Dana’s quick response time and pictures of our dog during his stay!”
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my baby! I felt very comfortable the entire time Roxy was in her care. Even though it was short notice, Brittany was able to accommodate Roxy with ease. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone in need. Thanks for your help. Roxy and I look forward to another stay with Brittany in the future :)”
“Erin was so amazing with Lucky! Her and Mako made Lucky feel like one of the family and he had so much fun with two of his new best friends! She gave us plenty of updates and we could tell Lucky had a blast!”
