“Allorah was awesome. She stayed with Zeus the whole day. He laid on her lap for hours. She sent photos of him throughout the day. She is very sweet and loves her job. Zeus was great when I got home. It was like I never left. He’s 13 years old with separation anxiety…💜Thank you .”
“Dustin and Isabella were really great to work with! They’re professional, reliable, and you can tell they genuinely love animals. My neighbor told me about them and I’m so happy they could watch my cats at the last minute. They were attentive, followed my directions, and sent several photos to me. They’re wonderful and very dependable - I will definitely use them again to watch my cats!”
“Shannon did a great job house/pet sitting for us, our 4 pets absolutely loved her!”
“Colleen was great with our Dino who has severe separation anxiety. She knew exactly how to manage him and knew to take him for a walk just after we departed to distract him from our leaving. He remained calm and was not anxious when we returned. We will be reaching out to Colleen frequently - she's a gem!”
“Lorraine did a great job. We were on a cruise so there was no way she could send pictures although she did send a couple before we actually sailed. House looked good and Olive was a happy. well cared for puppy. Thank you.”

About: Hi everyone! I have grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life. In fact, at my childhood home, we had seven cats at one time- even though my dad is allergic! Since moving to Winter Haven, I have missed having a furry friend around and well, that’s why I am on Rover! I currently work full time but not a traditional 9-5 because I am a pilot- which means I am only not home when I am flying! If I am unable to fulfill a request because of my travel schedule, I will be sure to let you know I am unavailable. At my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but it is a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. My roommates currently have one dog and one cat but if your pet doesn’t get along with other animals, I can keep them separate. Just let me know!
About: Taking care of fur babies has been a passion of mine since a very young age. I used to pretend to be the neighborhood dog trainer at the age of like 7! I’m no dog trainer, but I’m definitely able to love and care for your fur babies like they deserve. I work a full time job, however the hours are pretty flexible. I’m typically off Fridays and Saturday's, so I’m available anytime. Sunday-Thursday it varies but I’m typically available in the morning to 4pm :) I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very far much. I’m a great communicator and will keep in contact and provide pictures through out the experience. If your pet is happy, then I am too!
“Blanca did such an amazing job with our 3 dogs! Even through the stormy weather that we had, she continued to walk and comfort them. We will definitely hire her again whenever we need a reliable sitter!”
“Kathy kept our 2 dogs for the day during our visit to LEGOLAND. She is a very nice person and her house is so warming. She is obviously an experienced dog keeper. Sent us pics during the day of the dogs which was very appreciated. We spent our day with no stress. Thank you !”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 14. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, give medications and bathe their dogs. I have many years of experience in caring for all animals. Dogs and cats are not the only pets I cared for, I have cared for lizards, snakes, hamsters, gerbils, chinchilla and Guinea pig I am currently working part time and I will have plenty of time to spend with the pets I care for. I will be able to stay weekends and holidays with your pets. Your pet comes first. They will be a part of my family and give excellent care whether they are staying at home or with me.
“Madeline was the best dog sitter we could ask for! She was thorough, attentive and so kind! She came to meet the dogs the day prior, gave us updates the entire time, and left our home spotless and a sweet note with some Polaroids of their weekend together. Madeline was with our pups over 4th of July and stayed home with them to make sure they were comfortable, I would 100% use her again!”
About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.
“Awesome experience. My kitty Waffles is a shy, scared kitty around new people and has taken him days to interact with new people. Brittany got Waffles to interacts with her within a day and even seemed to be playful with her. I highly recommend Brittany and i will be using her again when i have the need.”
“This is our 6th time to use Evan. She really is great with our boys.. Can not say enough good things about Evan and the care she gives our pups. Always easy to communicate with, which is a plus since we do a lot of International travel and being on different time zones.. She sends pictures along with updates of our boys so we can see them and know what they are doing .. when we are so missing them with us being away.. ☺ 5 star all the way !!!”
About: I recently worked on a farm where I care for bees, cats, dogs, cows, geese, chickens, and peacocks. I have also been lucky to have respectful, beautiful experiences with wild horses, sea turtles, and wild dolphins here in Hawaii. I have lived in homes while they were for sale which demonstrates a special level of cleanliness, organization, and care for a home. I had two chocolate labs, Ginger and Princess, growing up, and they were truly my best friends. I also enjoyed the company of Big guy, my gold fish who loved to greet others in the bathroom, and Reina, my guinea pig. I even had a pet chicken as a child who helped me with my homework! I have loved playing with pets since I was young. Before I was allowed to have my own pets, I loved trips to a pet store in Puerto Rico to visit the animals there. I would often disappear in a big, snuggly embrace with the shop owner's St. Bernard. I also loved snuggling the kitties and rabbits even though I was allergic (something I have grown out of) at my cousins' farm as a kid. I have taken care of many households of pets both as a nanny and as a house sitter including dogs, cats, cockroaches, quail, chickens, fish, sheep, etc. I am a trained humane society volunteer, and I love to give animals extra love especially when they need it the most. I have had 15+ pet and house sits over the last year, and I have had so much fun meeting new people, pets, and experiencing different homes. I am currently working and studying online, so I will be able to pet and house sit with flexibility. I think house sitting is a wonderful way to explore new areas as I continue building my healing business online and studying and search for the next place to live long term while caring for your home and pet family members as they were my own and making friends with them at the same time. I am a self-sufficient sitter with experience in home maintenance, and you can be rest assured that no news is good news from me. I reach out if there is a problem or I need additional information and welcome you to do the same. Additionally, I give updates 1-4 times a week usually with an animal picture as discussed by individual preferences. I love to have snuggle sessions with pets just for snuggling's sake or while I am resting or doing other sedentary activities, but I prefer to have my separate sleeping space most nights during my nights' sleep. I look forward to meeting you and your animal family members :-) I will care for pets in the comfort of their own home, and/or I will walk them in their own neighborhood areas. Trust and Safety of your home, pets, and you and I are my priority.
About: Besides having owned pets, I have worked with 2 shelters to foster long stay animals. I also enjoy watching McCann and Zak George dog training videos. My friends often ask me to care for their feline and canine babies while they are on vacation. I have experienced the peace of mind of leaving my pets with a great caregiver, and so I appreciate how important it is to provide you with this confidence. During the week, I am primarily available in the evenings between 5-8 pm. On weekends, early morning between 6-9 am, mid to late afternoons and evenings between 1-3 pm, and 7-8 pm are good times. First of all, I'll ask about your pet care rountine and preferences. This way I can stick to your pets typical routine as much as possible. Then I will feed and exercse according to your stipulations. Of course, I will engage your pet with play, belly rubs and ear stratches according to their liking.
About: I’ve been watching and caring for animals since I was a kid. First job was a dog walker/sitter for my family friends and neighbors. Been in love with animals my whole life and I know they are you family and I will treat them as such. With respect and care. Currently have a pretty open schedule. I’m pretty flexible and available to help out with your pet needs. So if they is anything need I will be able to accommodate to do it. While in my clients home that’s is the pets home and just as I would my own home treat it with care and respect. Keep it clean and organized while using what is available at my disposal to take of your pet and give them the attention they need.

She is very independant, reliable, and trustworthy as well as being a compassionate care giver. My parents dog, Dulce, (a terrier mix) has also enjoyed the attention and affection of Kara’s visits. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter, dog walker, and house sitter.”
Melissa K.
“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to write a testimonial for Melissa, who I wholeheartedly recommend as a pet sitter or dog walker. Melissa is not just a kind and generous individual; she embodies responsibility and has a keen sensitivity to the needs of pets, which has been evident in her care for my cat, Momo.Melissa's approach to pet care goes beyond merely feeding and spending time with them; she tunes into their emotional and physical well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Her communication skills are exceptional. She has always kept me updated with constant messages and photos, making me feel reassured about Momo's well-being and allowing me to enjoy my time away without worry.Her honesty and trustworthiness stand out. I've always been impressed with Melissa's integrity in every aspect of her life, and these qualities shine through in her pet sitting as well. Leaving your pet in someone else's care requires a great deal of trust, and Melissa has proven time and again that she is more than deserving of that trust.In a world where genuine compassion and dedication are rare, Melissa stands out as a beacon of warmth and reliability. For anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker who will care for their furry family members as if they were her own, Melissa is the perfect choice. Her love for animals, combined with her impeccable character, makes her an ideal candidate for anyone in need of pet care services.”
Ivan R.
“I have known Ivan for many many years and he has always been so amazing with all of my animals. Ivan is an absolute gem of a dog walker and sitter!! From the moment I entrusted him with my furry friend, I knew I made the right choice. His professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. Ivan goes above and beyond to ensure my dog receives the care and attention he deserves. Not only does he provide regular updates and photos during walks, but he also tailors each outing to suit my dog's individual needs. It's evident that Ivan treats every pup as if they were his own, and that level of dedication is truly commendable. I can't recommend Ivan highly enough to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. Thank you, Ivan, for being a true lifesaver!”

Evangelynn S.
“I have known Evangelynn for over 15 years. Evangelynn is very disciplined in everything she does. She is always trying to be the best she can be. Anything with animals/fur babies is definitely in her niche. She has always had animals and loves her babies. Just like she believes deeply in self-improvement, she wants the same for her pets. I have a big dog and she loves him as if he was her own. I would have no issues with Evangelynn taking care of my pet. I know she has high standards when it comes to animals. I honestly believe she would treat your pets as if they were hers.”
