“As always, Olga is the perfect drop in cat sitter. She earned the trust for my Suki and has been wonderful. I’ve requested Olga’s help multiple times now and will continue to ask her to check in on my Suki when I’m away.”
“Overall, not a terrible experience. I did have to remind sitter to stay the full 30 minutes, and of the schedule which we had agreed on prior to my trip (once I had already left). This didn’t give me much peace of mind while away from my elder kitty.. Upon my return home, there was dried vomit in front entry way, and in kitchen, as well as a crusty dirty bowl where my cat was served his soft food. With this aside, I did appreciate the picture updates and responsiveness..”
About: Hi there! I'm Colleen. I pride myself on being a loyal and trustworthy person, and I promise to be that for you and your dog. I'm very excited to start my pet sitting business and to meet your furry friend! Pet sitting is more than a job to me, I will love your babies like my own. We will enjoy play time, nice long walks, and cuddle time! Your dog will be my number one priority, and we'll have a great time too! I have been dog sitting on the side for about seven years; and I have a lot of experience with different types and sizes of dogs.

They're always there for you through thick and thin. I'll be there for your dog when you're away and they need some love. Please reach out to me if you're interested in having a meet and greet!
“Noah was great with my cats. He came to clean their litters, play with them and give them some treats. He kept me informed the whole time and I could see that my cats were comfortable with him”
“Pam went above and beyond for us when we needed a sitter to watch our cat, Magellan. Pam and her daughter came by twice a day and made sure to give all of the love to our kitty. When we got home, we found an adorable drawing her daughter left us! And the place was spotless. We will definitely be using Pam again! Thank you!!”

“Beatrice was wonderful. She took excellent care of my cats and sent an update with every visit. I had a peaceful vacation knowing my babies were well cared for. As it was my first time using someone from Rover, I am very pleased and will hopefully be able to book Beatrice again in the future.”
“Daniel did a wonderful job. I can’t wait to use him in the future. We had a death in the family out of town and things were a little unorganized. We were all coming and going at different times due to work schedules. . He made it work. Thanks Daniel”
“Debbie was thorough, and wonderful with our cats as always. She administered medicine to one of our cats as well. She even assisted us by taking out the trash while we were gone. Thanks again Debbie!”
“Harmony was wonderful with our pup! He can be a little daunting at first with his big bark but that didn’t bother her at all. She was so sweet with him, and honestly we were so happy that we found someone who just instantly understood him. She let us know when she was on the way, when she arrived, and when she was headed out - couldn’t have asked for better communication, and we’re really excited that our pup will have a new friend! 100% recommend her! :)”
About: My name is Genevieve, and I am a graduate student at FAU studying marine biology. I grew up with dogs ranging from a 4 lb. Pomeranian to a 90 lb. German Shepard. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs, cats, lizards, and fish. I wish to expand my experience and help take care of your pet. As an animal lover, I am comfortable taking care of any pet of any size. I am a master's student in college and I usually have a flexible schedule, except for when I am out of town for research surveys. I help my family take care of our three dogs (which includes bathing, feeding, trimming nails, playtime, walking, etc.). I also help my boyfriend and his two puppies by walking them and feeding them.
“Emma was fantastic! I asked her to feed two feral cats that I take care of and she was able to gain their trust after only a few days. Emma is very professional, punctual, responsible and pets lover her! I will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Veronica was so helpful with my cat, Winston. He can get so upset when I leave for a long time, and he was the happiest boy when I returned!! She sent updates and pictures daily so I knew exactly what was going on! I could tell she really took the time to connect with Winston, which made us both happy :) I will happily ask her to watch my animals again when needed!”
About: I have worked with and been around all kinds of pets my entire life. I have owned many different kinds of dogs including high-energy breeds. My father uses cocker spaniels, brittanys, and labradors to hunt. When he wasn't hunting with them, I trained and took care of them. We even bred out labradors. I also have a good amount of experience with cats and a great deal of experience with horses. I know horses have nothing to do with this, BUT if I can take care of a half-ton heard animal I can definitely handle your high-energy doodle! At the moment, I am very free to take care of your pet everyday. Once a day tues-sun i have to go to the barn to ride my horses. I wont be gone more than 4 hours to do that. My days will get busier around fall and I am occasionally away at horse shows. I live in a cozy yet spacious apartment. Kept organizing and clean. Perfect for cats or the mildly energy dog. I dont have a fenced yard so if your dog needs free range that is something i cant provide fay to day. But I can always bring them to dog parks or sniff spots if that is something you would like. I can provide twice daily walks or more if needed. *********IMPORTANT: My dog (Luca) is susceptible to parasites, especially giardia. He is on preventative and has all his vaccinations , but I cannot allow or take on UNVACCINATED or UNPROTECTED pets. I can’t take a dog that is showing any signs or symptoms of a parasite or other illness. If your dog is vomiting or has loose stool and diarrhea, please contact your vet because they could be a great danger to others they may encounter. Please make sure your dog is perfectly healthy before requesting any kind of boarding. Please be responsible, truthful, and honorable when booking sitting or boarding for your dog. Thank you! ***********
