About: I’ve spent the last 18 years as a trusted Realtor in Brevard County, which means I’ve already met (and usually become friends with) a lot of the local cats and dogs. My clients trusted me with access to their homes, and I took that responsibility seriously every single time. I’ve also been a lifelong pet owner. From tiny Yorkies to Labs, retrievers, and plenty of cats with big personalities, caring for animals has always been one of my favorite parts of life. I spent my teens and early 20s volunteering with rescue cat and dog rescue groups in South Florida Confession: as a Realtor, I looked forward to seeing my clients’ pets more than the actual appointment. Don’t tell the humans. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and make sure your furry family member has a great time while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time in real estate so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Whether it’s a drop in for your cat, or multiple daily walks with your labrador, your pets care is my top priority. After 18 years in real estate, I know that trust is everything—especially when someone is caring for your home and your beloved pets. I’m responsible, respectful, and a little obsessed with making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away.
“5 Stars! Gretchen took wonderful care of Gravy Boat, who has special needs and needs a lot of hands-on care. She cleaned and rinsed him several times a day, kept his bedding fresh, gave him his meds and snacks, and was patient while he warmed up in a new place. She sent regular updates and photos, and pickup and drop-off were easy and on time. You can tell she loves animals. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa is great! . She was very kind to my two cats , her professionalism is un matched. She was reliable , it was a last minute trip so I was so lucky she made sure she was free for us and she also send me pictures of my pets during the time she was with them . We will call her again for sure .”

About: I have been around dogs my whole like - from small chihuahuas to large Great Danes. I have never had any problems with a dog liking me and I will always approach a new dog with the respect they deserve. I am knowledgeable in their body language and cues so I am usually able to communicate with them quite well. Some skills I have when it comes to dogs are medication administration, potty training, crate training, command training, and leash training. I am not certified but I do have lots of experience with multiple dogs that has been highly effective. All dogs will receive endless pets and belly rubs! If they have a special snacks or dietary needs, I can certainly follow any instructions given to keep your pup in good health while in my care. Occasionally, my husband may be with for walks as I like having another person with for security measures. I will always message you for permission of this before your service. He is great with all animals as well but as a woman, I like having that extra sense of security when I’m in a new area. I have recently opened up my availability to be a full time pet care assistant. I absolutely love animals and to have this be a full time means of living would be a dream come true. I have open arms to animals of all shapes and sizes! I do not currently offer in home pet sitting as my complex only allows our registered pets. But basic care would include: play time, feedings, refilling/refreshing the water dish, snacks if available, time basking in the sun (if applicable), administering medication if needed, LOTS OF PETS!
About: I have been a cat owner myself for 8 years. I love to spoil my meow machine at home, and hoping to spoil yours too! I feed garlic a fresh bowl of water every morning, with half a can of wet food mixed with hairball supplements in it. Pet/play time at noon and evening, with catnip toy. TV cuddle time at 9 pm. Pet care will be tailored to your pet's needs, we can communicate about your pet's favorite toy, food, walk time, play time, etc, the more detail about your pet's routine would be great for all of us.

About: I've grown up in a house with animals constantly. At 1 point, having more than 10 animals in a house. We had cats, pigs, dogs and fish. As well as some reptiles and ferrets. It's genuingly one of the most enjoyable things in the world playing and figuring out what animals love. Especially as they get to know, you and warm up to you. I currently am in full-time school so a good portion of my time is spent studying or working. My schedule right now is flexible because I'm in between jobs. I'm free to go over to anyone's house and I am willing to carry first aid kit and have a vehicle in case of emergencies, like they need to go to an ER.

I pay attention to their energy and am intuitive about their needs. I have house sat and cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens. I love animals and will make sure your furry friend is cared for and loved. I’m known for being responsible so that pet parents can rest easy knowing their pets are in good hands when they’re with me. I work from home full time, so if you need someone to keep your pet company during the day, let me know! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a screened in pool that has an additional child protection gate if needed. Here’s what some of my clients have said about my work with pets: “Kenzi was made to care for animals! She is incredibly patient and gentle. Very aware of things happening around her. My dogs love when Kenzi comes around and I never have to worry, I know that they will be cared for as if I were there with them. She is a fabulous find!” -Eliza “Kenzi has been a house sitter for me for several times over the last few years. She has been responsible for taking care of my 2 horses, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. When I come home it’s like I just left, everyone is happy and healthy! She will make a great caregiver for anyone’s fur babies, whether well refined or rough around the edges like mine!” -Roberta I currently work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule, so I’d be happy to help with your pet needs. Detailed schedule tbd, but when I tell someone I’m going to be there, I follow through. I’m very responsible and respect the time of others, so I honor my commitments and make sure to follow through if I agree to something.

I make sure to leave a place as clean as when I arrived, and I will be a calm and reassuring presence for your pet so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jadyn did a great job taking care of our cat Catrina. Catrina loves to be brushed and to have her belly rubbed and Jaydn gave her the attention and affection she needed. She doesn't easily respond to new people, but they made a great connection on their first meeting, so I felt very comfortable having Jadyn take care of her while I was away. Would use her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Hailey, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’m a third-year Biology student at UCF with a passion for animal care and conservation, and I’m excited to bring that passion to Rover! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through my own pets, volunteer work, and everyday animal handling. At home, I have my energetic French bulldog, Lola, and my wonderful cat, Popper. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help with cage cleanings, animal socialization, and dog walking. These experiences have taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual personality are. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, a calm companion, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Outside of Rover, I’m pursuing my Biology degree with an interest in continuing my education in veterinary sciences. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I'm currently a full-time student and working part-time, so most days I'm not available. However, I am free every Saturday and Wednesday, so I'd be happy to stop in and care for your pets at any time on those days! I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy and safe.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was in high school, and over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I understand that every pet has their own personality. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others are happiest having their own space, and I’m comfortable with both. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and as happy as possible while you’re away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies with someone else, so I’ll send plenty of updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have a little extra peace of mind. I also have a pet camera available, so if your pet is staying with me, you’ll have the option to check in and see them live while they’re in my care. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being well taken care of. 🐾💕 I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so my weekends are my most flexible! I’m available for evening care during the week and have much more availability for drop-ins, walks, boarding, and house sitting on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and make sure I can give them the time and attention they need. 🐾💕 I have two 8-month-old bunnies of my own who are very loved and definitely a little spoiled! 🐰💕 If I’m caring for your pet in my home, my bunnies will be moved from the living room into my guest room, where they’ll stay completely separate from your pet. This gives everyone their own safe, comfortable space to relax without any direct interaction. Your pet will have plenty of room to get comfortable, along with lots of love, attention, cuddles (if they want them!), playtime, and maybe a treat or two. I’m big on making animals feel at home and keeping their normal routine whenever possible. When I leave for work, I even like to leave the TV on so they have some background noise and don’t feel like the house is completely quiet. Most importantly, I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, treats, medications, routines, boundaries, and anything else that helps your fur baby feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
Jennifer was great. She took care of our cat Callie while we were out of town for a few days. She did her best to make friends with her so she would feel loved while we were away. She goes above and beyond for you, took care of our mail, packages cleanup of the cat dishes and treats! Sent us pictures every day so we knew she was ok. Will use her again for sure!
Molly is a gem! This was my first experience with Rover and I was a little tentative about leaving my cat Wally while I was traveling. Molly was so warm and caring, super communicative, and took great care of Wally. She helped with some more involved older-cat care and helped me coordinate with our vet while I was out of town. Would absolutely book her again next time I'm traveling. Thank you so much, Molly!
Lois has been perfect, and an huge relief while I’m away. She takes excellent care of my trio of cats, keeping the kitchen feeding area clean and checking to make sure they’re okay every day. This is the second time I’ve used her services and would do so again without hesitation!
Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)
Nicole was so sweet when she came to meet Ozzy. She sent me pictures every time she went over there and it looked like my baby loved her. All I asked was that she fed him and she went above that and scooped his litter box and played with him for a little bit. Definitely recommend!
Fen was great! She was thoughtful and understood his needs. She had initiative and good suggestions. She updated me in everything. I felt at Peace knowing she was there, even though he is a shy ca that hides when he doesn’t know the person she could void on the predictablity she provided and ate and used the litter normally showing he was relaxed.Thank you Fen!
Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!
Max W. did an outstanding job taking care of our cats. Wyatt and Winter are rescue cats and can be skittish around strangers. Max has a wonderful touch and quickly earned the trust of both of them. Since it often takes much longer for cats to feel comfortable with new people, we were especially grateful that Max made them feel safe and at ease while we were away. The care was perfect, and we will absolutely book Max again for our next trip!
