“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: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and livestock. I’ve completed veterinary internships and job shadowing, am a certified pet groomer, and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently an online student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. With experience from veterinary internships, pet grooming, and caring for a wide variety of animals, I’m comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Kathleen is so sweet and did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! The dogs absolutely love her and we received pictures and detailed updates of every visit. We will definitely be repeat customers, it is truly priceless to be able to go out of town and know that the dogs are being so well loved and cared for!”

“Im so grateful to have hired Cristin to look after my cat, while I was away. She loved and cared for my cat, sent pics and kept me updated on her care. There was a brush fire in the area and Cristin let me know that everything was good, when you are thousands of miles away worried...Cristin kept me calm..I absolutely will book her again for my next travels. Thank you so much! ...and thanks to Rover, no stress!”

About: 🐴 A Foundation in Animal Care My passion for animals started on a farm, where I grew up caring for everything from horses to barn cats and dogs. This background taught me how to handle animals of all sizes and temperaments with confidence. My love for animals only grew as I traveled the world as a child, observing how people and pets connect across different cultures. 🐶🐱🐱 Over 15 Years of Personal Dedication I believe in long-term commitment. I have been a devoted pet parent to my Chihuahua, Gatsby, since 2013, and I shared a 12-year bond with my cat, Tabasco. Currently, I’m also a proud parent to a brother-and-sister cat duo I’ve raised since 2021. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a gentle touch or energetic kittens needing play, I’ve seen and loved it all. ✅ Trusted Local Volunteer As a past volunteer at the Humane Society of Vero Beach, I’ve worked hands-on with shelter animals, focusing on socialization, exercise, and enrichment. This experience has made me an expert at reading animal body language and providing a calm, safe environment for pets who might be nervous or shy. 📲 What You Can Expect: Peace of Mind Because I work a highly flexible schedule, I am always accessible and on-call. Your pet will have my full attention, and you will have mine! I pride myself on: • Constant Communication: Frequent photo and video updates so you’re never in the dark. • Versatile Care: Comfortable with dogs, cats, and even "critters" or farm animals. • Reliability: I’m a Vero Beach local who treats every pet like they’re part of my own family. As a local Real Estate Agent, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I work on an 'on-call' basis, which means I am almost always available for your pets! Since I am constantly monitoring my phone for client leads, I am uniquely positioned to provide you with instant photo updates and quick responses. Whether your pet needs a mid-day walk or a last-minute visit, my career allows me the freedom to be there when it counts. 🏡 In Your Home: Respect & Security As a local Real Estate Agent, I understand the importance of home security and privacy. When I am caring for your pets in your home, I treat your property with the same level of professional respect I give to my own listings. I am meticulous about: • Securing the Premises: Always ensuring doors are locked, alarms are set, and your home is exactly as you left it. • Tidy Environments: Keeping pet areas clean and organized so you return to a stress-free house. • Safety First: Checking for potential hazards like open gates or items left out that shouldn't be chewed. 📲 Trust & Communication My experience volunteering at the Humane Society of Vero Beach has trained me to recognize early signs of stress or illness. I am prepared to act quickly and calmly in any situation. Most importantly, since I am always "on-call" for my real estate leads, I am always reachable for you. You will receive: • Real-time photo and video updates. • Immediate responses to any questions. • The peace of mind that comes from hiring a local, licensed professional.
“Joe is a great guy with a very positive attitude toward dogs, huge ones! He is creative, keeps the pet engaged, and makes sure your pet exercises whenever he visits. He was pretty prompt in providing great pics and feedback on how my pet did during the visit. I will highly recommend him for any dog care responsibilities. Pretty happy to connect with him on Rover.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.
“Reva was amazing taking care of my cat. I get so anxious leaving my cat and she was so thoughtful and sweet with Franny. I will definitely hope she will come again and recommend her to anyone else!”

“Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Sky. We needed someone to stop by and let our 100‑pound German Shepherd out while I was at the hospital for my husband’s surgery, and she was exactly who we needed. I was a little nervous since this was Sky’s first time with a sitter, but Jessica put her at ease right away. She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and even played ball with her in the yard. She also went above and beyond by letting us know about sparking she noticed from our trees near the power lines—something we really appreciated. We will definitely book her again. She is mature, intelligent, and incredibly reliable. Exactly what pet owners are looking for on Rover.”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have been dog-sitting for friends and family for years, so I know just how to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. I also regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats when they go on vacation, making sure they get fed, have playtime, and feel comfortable in their own space. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, which makes pet care feel like second nature to me. What Sets Me Apart: What makes me stand out from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs and my familiarity with both dogs and cats. I’m used to caring for pets with different personalities, from playful puppies to older, more mellow dogs. I’m also flexible when it comes to feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs your pets may have. I understand the importance of creating a calm, nurturing environment for pets, especially when their owners are away. Whether it’s a long walk, some fun playtime, or just some quiet companionship, I ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I’m currently available for pet care throughout the summer. My schedule is flexible, with some trips planned (though the exact dates are still being finalized). I’m actively applying for another job, but I can adjust my time to ensure your pets are well cared for. Whether you need a dog walker, sitter, or someone to check in on your pets, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate their needs for the summer. I take the safety and well-being of your pets seriously. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I always create a calm, comfortable environment that they can feel safe and relaxed in. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to pet-proof the area, ensuring that there are no hazards or anything that could cause them distress. I have a dog-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, walks, and lounging. I also make sure your pet’s belongings, such as food and favorite toys, are accessible to keep them at ease. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress and provide a sense of familiarity. I always make sure to keep their living space clean and secure and will follow any specific instructions you have regarding feeding, medications, or special care. Most importantly, I am dedicated to building trust with both you and your pets. I keep you updated with pictures, messages, and video calls if desired, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic young pets as well as seniors who may need extra patience, medication support, or a calmer routine. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Whether it be family or friends; pet owners have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and care for their fur babies. I have my own 8 year old husky and care for all dogs as if they are my own. I currently work part time as a pharmacy technician, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet during the week; even more so during the weekends. I have a big backyard, lots of toys and a 8 year old husky of my own who loves other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed/separate.
“Emily did a fantastic job! We recently adopted a dog, so Emily was our first pet sitter with her, and she worked out any difficulties. She was very reliable, and super sweet with our dog and cat.”


About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. Additionally, my work as a Volunteer Firefighter has me helping people and animals frequently! I’m currently a full time student, so I am available to work after 3 on week days! I can occasionally work in between classes, but no matter what, your pet will have my undivided attention and love! In the clients home, I will play and engage with their dog, making sure they’re getting exercise, as well as feeding them, and walking them. I also like to spend time with the dogs to build trust between me and them, making sure they’re using their feel safe!
About: Ever since i was young I've had a special connection with animals. I have over 10 years of hands on dog and cat experience. I am experienced in Cat care, Puppy care, Senior pet care, small and large breeds. I'm reliable and trustworthy, and I've done many pet sitting jobs for friends and family. I consider myself a huge animal lover and a great companion for your fur babies. I’m currently working part-time so i have plenty of time to provide a very attentive and reliable service towards each of your animals giving them all my love and care. My goal is to have a genuine connection with each animal to keep them feeling safe and secure in my presence at all times. Each animal is different and that’s why i believe spending quality time with your pets is important to define what each animal likes and dislikes.

“Anna has been wonderful with my two pups. When we did the meet-n-greet she asked thoughtful questions and I could tell she was invested in giving them them great care. She has great communication skills and helped me out greatly when my plans changed unexpectedly. I appreciate her!!”

About: Love animals and have always had dogs. Most recently, my 14 year old retriever taught me all the tricks to get picky pups to take their pills. I have a fenced in yard and love taking furry friends for walks. My husband and I currently work 8 to 5 during the week and are off on weekends so there is plenty of time for pet care/love. I have a fenced in yard and live on a dirt, dead end street, perfect for walks. No other pets in the house currently. We could also stay at your place if it’s easier for your dogs (mine was a home body so I can relate).

About: I have been around and taken care of pets my whole life! I often like to take trips to animal shelters just to give extra love to as many dogs and cats as I can, so I figured why not help people out on this app who don’t always have time for their fur baby! I am in flight school, meaning I have a flexible and pretty open schedule! I don’t have a set schedule for the most part, so I can work around you! My apartment complex has a dog park, depending on if your dog is a social butterfly or not. I’d love to take your pet on trips to the beach, or I can also offer to hang out with your pet in your home to escape the heat!

“Nicole was incredibly flexible and helpful, bending to my hectic schedule. She was on time and my cat boys absolutely loved her. They were in the best of care and I highly recommend Nicole!”

About: I love animals, I have had several since I was a child and I am very familiar with their different wants and needs and if there is something specific your pet needs I would be happy to accommodate them. I Work from home so I can spend a lot of time with your pet, playing with them and giving them attention. I have a 6 month old Rottweiler who loves to run and play , so I wouldn’t be the only one giving your dog attention and love .. baby will help with that lol Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Have a great day ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Vero Beach dog parents share their Rover experiences
Reliable. Serious (in the 'excellent listener' and strives to understand the pet's needs sort of way). Extremely clear communicator. Trustworthy. Judy was, in a word, a fantastic and reliable dog sitter for our Frenchie Marcel. Highly recommend Judy Knight's services!

Gina was super sweet and patient with my pups. We had a dog going through some healing from a surgery and Gina took good care of him and made sure he took his meds. She communicated and asked questions when she needed to. I appreciated that. Highly recommend Gina.
