About: Hi, I’m Britnee! I’ve loved animals my entire life—I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have a 5.5-year-old Golden Retriever and a spunky tuxedo cat named Kitty, so I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring when you need help with your furry family members. I’m happy to assist with dog walks, feedings, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs. I look forward to meeting your pup (or kitty!) soon! I work full time, but I’m happy to offer walks, feedings, and snuggles that fit into my morning or evening routine. Whether it’s a breakfast visit, a dinner drop-in, or some evening playtime, I’m flexible and committed to giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. I truly look forward to spending time with them! Loving on animals like they are my own is my secret skill! Whether that’s tug in the yard, a walk around the block or quiet snuggles on the couch - you can assure your pet is in loving hands.
“We look to hire Amy every time we need to leave our little boy for more than a day. She’s dependable and goes the extra mile. Do not hesitate to leave your fur-child in her care; you won’t be disappointed.”
About: Growing up with pets my whole life, I have learned to care and love pets of all ages. From puppies/kittens to senior citizens of all sizes and breeds. My family are big animal lovers and would love to help you in your time of need. I am a stay at home mom. I am fully available to attend to your animals needs. Not only will helping you help me, but this will also help my kids learn responsibility when at home..mom will take care of the harder stuff 🙂 Please keep in mind I can take multiple (2-4) pets at a time. My home has beds for all pets. If needed, I can provide gated areas, unlimited water supply & stick to your pets everyday schedule. There is also unlimited love available for your pet.
“Truly amazing! They made us feel super comfortable during our travels. Zoey loved spending time with you ladies! Thank you for taking care of ZoBear!”
About: Hi! I work from home full-time, which means I’ve got plenty of time, love, and belly rubs to give. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, weekend company, or a cozy home-away-from-home while you’re away, I’m here to help! With a flexible schedule, a safe home, and a genuine love for dogs, I make sure your furry friend feels happy, exercised, and cared for—just like family. 🦴 I am very flexible as I work from home full-time and can be attentive to your dog/cat the whole time. So my schedule is very open care for pets like they’re my own—with lots of attention, love, and consistency. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and cozy spots to relax. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any medications or special needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and stick to your established routines to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Whether it’s snuggles, walks, or simply keeping them company, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Growing up, I had two dogs, two cats and a hamster. Additionally, I would dog sit for neighbors. I’ve been around puppies, administered medication and I love walking! I have plenty of time to take care of your pups as I am working part-time at the moment! I am available everyday and willing to adjust my schedule. I am quite experienced with dogs and I have to confidence to care for them in any way you want. If there are special circumstances I will 100% honor them!
“Lois is so sweet and professional! From the first communication to the end of her drop in, absolutely perfect! No matter how stubborn my sweet Sophie was you loved her like your own! I can’t thank you enough! I would recommend Lois to anyone!”
About: All my life I have had multiple pets so I know what are their needs and desires and I have lots of energy and great communication skills to make their experience with me perfect. Your doggy is returned smiling ))) My brother and I both work from home and take care of our elderly mother so my schedule is super flexible and days of the week or holidays do not matter. I offer any type of service necessary and I give complete attention to the animal as if he/she is part of the family. Your furry baby is safe with me❤️❤️❤️
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
About: We adopted our first pups in 2004 and cared for them for 18 pup-snuggled years. During that time, and since then, we have rescued, fostered and adopted animals of all kinds to include chickens, ducks and a pig named Kevin Bacon! Currently, we're home to Guinevere, the mild-mannered, 6 year-old mutt and a handful of clucky hens who will be fenced while your fur-babies are with us. We do have a 10-year-old hooman "puppy" who is just as loving and respectful of animals as we are. We will love and care for your fur-babies as if they were our very own. We are home almost all day, every day, so your pet will never be alone. I homeschool our son, and my husband works from home. Your pet will have ample opportunities to play outside in our 1/2 acre back yard. Our neighborhood is very quiet with houses situated on ~acre lots. We have neighbors with dogs, but they usually just run over to the fence to say hello and then go about their business. In our home, your fur-babies can roam freely, and they will have access to our 1/2, partially shaded, completely fenced-in back yard as often as they need. If your dog is one who prefers walks, our peaceful neighborhood has lots of places to explore; there is a nice park 1/2 mile away where they can sniff around where all of the turtles and ducks like to hang out. Pups who stay with us overnight are welcome to stay in their crate (if that's what they prefer), anywhere in the house, and, likely, on one of our beds.
“Kia was reliable and wonderful to work with. I enjoyed updates and pictures with every visit and I could tell upon my return that Lola was well taken care of and happy. I will definitely use her again!”
“Everything seemed to go smoothly with Katelyn!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young. I started exclusively taking care of our family dog, Lady when I was about 12. I wanted to be an animal trainer and thought she would be a perfect training dog. I taught her tons of tricks and we became inseparable. She was the first dog that I loved. I currently have two dogs. I have an elderly Powder Puff Chinese Crested (14) that is the best cuddler, and a Chihuahua mix (8) that is a sweetheart and also loves to cuddle. Both dogs like to be around and play with other dogs. I have a very flexible schedule, if you need a sitter at the last minute please don’t hesitate to contact me. I can also give medications, elder pet care, and am willing to take them to appointments when needed. I know that it is hard to leave a pet when traveling but rest assured your pet will be loved and snuggled. I also have a medium fenced in yard with lots of trees and plants to explore. The dogs are always supervised while outside. I also have a separate sleeping or care room for pets that prefer their own space. I work full time Monday-Friday with weekends free. Drop off times during the week are before 8:00 am or after 5:00 pm. Drop off times on the weekend are anytime. My routine for our animals is simple, they are fed before and after work. Potty Breaks are given twice in the morning and 3-4 times at night depending on how much they want to go outside. I also offer peepads and diapering if needed. I have an extra open top crate for dogs that require it and a separate room for those that need their own space. I have a medium fenced in yard with lots of plants to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised. My dogs love to play and snuggle with other dogs. They range from 8-14 years old.

West Melbourne dog parents share their Rover experiences
The boys loved her and Elena was so attentive to them. She took great care of them - just as if they were her own dogs and let them love on her with lots of wet dog kisses. I will definitely be calling her again!
Was very happy with the job Katie did watching my Charli while I traipsed of on vacation. The daily pictures showed Charli happy and healthy, and the checkins were on time for breakfast and dinner. Got home and Charli was bright and energetic. Thank you, Katie.
Samantha was great! Very polite and helpful with my two fur babies, even with it being a last minute booking! Will definitely book with her again.
Mary has been our go to sitter all year! Our dog loves her so much, and it gives us such peace of mind to have somebody we can rely on when we are out of town. Even when my dog has presented unique challenges while we are out of state, Mary has helped in every way she could and she's been such a great help. Thanks for everything, Mary!
My dog doesn't seem to miss me at all after having Reagan come over to care for her! I love the pictures she sends and the little updates of her visit. I trust Reagan in my home and my furry family clearly loves her.
Elaine is a wonderful pet care taker! I booked her for multiple days as a home visit for my 2 Schnauzers while I was away and my husband worked during the day. The pups are used to me being home during the day so Elaine really provided the attention they needed. She was prompt, meticulous about staying the full time, gave the pups lots of attention, and communicated daily. Will definitely book her again.
Emily did an amazing job siting for my puppy. He is a high energy mallinois but she made sure he got great exercise and plenty of fun in! Also very reliable and trustworthy while out of town. Will def be using her again and I’m sure the puppy will miss her!
Brian was absolutely excellent with my dog! He was very attentive, caring, and professional throughout the entire visit. I truly appreciated the updates and the attention he gave her—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!
