I have experience with anxious pets and special needs dogs, including blind pups, so I understand how important patience, routine, and a calm environment are. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so you can have peace of mind. Your pets will be in caring, gentle hands with me 💕 I’m a full time dog caregiver who is available anytime and all day every day.I’m free for Boarding and walks short or long distance walks I have a safe environment and I’m very trusting.

“Ma’Lisa was very easy to work with, as I have a four month old puppy. She responded quickly and was very good with my dog. Definitely recommend. Intend to hire again in the future.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life — three of them, all with different personalities and needs — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I originally went to school for veterinary medicine before changing my major, but that never changed the love I have for furry friends. Walking dogs is peaceful and therapeutic for me, and I’m excited to finally turn this into a hobby and a service I can share with others. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simple companionship. I’m able to adjust easily to each pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. My goal is always to match the rhythm they’re used to and give them the same level of care and comfort they receive with you. My home has a screened lanai with a pool that is not fenced in, and I also have stairs inside the house. The main areas are tile flooring, with carpeted bedrooms for comfort. I keep fresh water bowls easily accessible throughout the home since I have dogs of my own. I’m always mindful of each pet’s safety and make sure the environment matches their needs, energy level, and mobility.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.
“Jennifer has been sitting for my chocolate lab for just over a year now and from the start, has been THE ANSWER for us! She’s so caring, doting, professional, and my pooch just adores her. She’s knowledgeable and dependable, too, which is critical for a household like mine where I’m always on the go and my lab is committed to her schedule/routine. Thanks, Jennifer!”


About: I do work with clients but I also work with the dogs. Every dog has its own lively hood that is important to cater. A dog doesn’t just need food and water, it needs companionship. Despite working a part time job, my availability is open for most days of the week. As long as I know the time frame, your dogs will be given the best care I can give! To help overcome any fear or anxiety about a stranger in your house, I do offer meet and greets to help provide a peace of mind.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Now, as the owner of two spoiled indoor rescue cats, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I typically work from 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on my days off for drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m committed to being dependable and working around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether they need exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also available for cat drop-in visits and understand the importance of keeping cats comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I’ll send photo updates and messages after every visit so you always know how they’re doing. I’m currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and cat care, so your pets can stay comfortable in the familiar surroundings of their own home. As a cat mom to two rescue cats and someone who grew up with four dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box or waste cleanup, playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel secure. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had so many opportunities to take care of fur babies throughout my life! I lived in a farm for most of it but as an adult I have had my dog all through college up until now. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure every fur baby gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep that routine consistent while you're away.

I'll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you leave. My goal is to help your fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a full time job M-F from 9-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.
About: I have always had a pup or cat in my life. So I have always had the honor to take care of many dogs ranging from big to small young and old. Having the opportunity to have such loving companions is truly amazing. The way I care and love for my animals is the way I would care for yours, from of my own experience with sassy pugs to calm and collected pit bull terrier and a sly lazy black cat I sure know how to handle many pet personalities and know how to accommodate to every need they have and I am willing to do the same for your companion too. I have a very flexible schedule/ hours I am available from 8am- 5pm all throughout the week, but if emergencies happen after hours don’t be afraid to reach out! If giving opportunity I would care and love for you pet as I do mine. I can’t wait to meet/ play with your companion. YAY🎉

About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.
About: Over 25 years experience raising my own personal dogs and caring for my families dogs along the way. I enjoy giving dogs love and care, exercise & indoor/outdoor enrichment. Currently accepting small dogs excluding aggressive breeds unless they are puppies, for sitting, drop-ins & walking, weather permitting. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am retired and available Mon. - Fri. excluding major holidays for sitting, walking & drop- ins. after a meet & greet. I love spending time with animals. I can walk your dog, drop-in to feed & provide water, medication if necessary or sit in your home for short periods. I can also brush your dog and provide enrichment during an extended stay.
About: I believe pet sitting is more than just stopping by for a visit. Every pet is cared for with patience, attention, and the same love I would give my own. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, send regular photo and text updates so you always know how they’re doing, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel right at home until you return. Pet care is a part of my daily routine, not just my work schedule. I plan my days around my clients’ visits to ensure every pet receives reliable, on-time care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays, I maintain a consistent schedule so pets can stick to their normal routine. Caring for animals is my full commitment, and I take pride in being dependable for both pets and their owners. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. During every visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions if needed, receive plenty of attention and affection, and have the opportunity to go potty and get some exercise. Dog walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort, while drop-in visits include playtime, companionship, and any other care you’ve requested. I also provide photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valrico
Alyssa was so great with my Mom’s mini golden doodle. She helped our family tremendously with morning and evening walks while my Mom recovered from a hospital stay. Our nervous pup quickly became comfortable with Alyssa and even improved her on leash behaviors throughout the week which is a lasting benefit to all of us. We highly recommend her.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
