“Tamara is fantastic! No stress at all knowing that she is taking great care of my pups! She's communicative, knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and caring. Thank you for providing excellent care to my pups (and me!)”


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.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, plus cats and even birds. I actually have a bird of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone who really understands their needs. I love going on walks, getting in some playtime, and keeping up with each pet’s routine so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Since I’m in grad school online, my schedule is very flexible! I’m available most days for walks or drop-ins, and I can often help last-minute depending on your location. I treat every pet like my own! Safety comes first—whether that’s secure leashes on walks, fresh water after playtime, or sticking closely to your routine. I’ll also send plenty of updates for peace of mind.

About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, my grandmother taught me grooming skills on her poodles and we had a Maltese rescue. I was also a manager of a dog boarding facility in Indiana, so I've seen a lot! I was responsible for administration of medications, handling injuries and runs to the vets office (owners preferred vet). I can handle just about anything from large power-house pups down to the little sassy woofs! I currently work part-time, with full autonomy of my schedule. I'm able to care for your baby whenever you need. Let me know how I can help you! I have dog sat pets of friends, family, neighbors and even new clients. I've cared for dogs on medications from pills to insulin. I have experience with many different play & feed routines as well as various structures that owners have for their pups. I understand the stress of leaving a pup at a facility so I value the importance of having someone you trust caring for your fur baby in their own home. I'm also fluent in curbing unwanted behaviors- if there is something I can do to continue the training you're diligently teaching your dog, let me know! I'd love to help continue that when the pup is in my care.

About: Hi, I’m Nancy! I have grown up having dogs my whole life and have two senior dogs of my own that I have had for 8 years. I have never met a dog I didn’t instantly fall in love with! I have experience walking dogs that pull and dogs that are reactive to other dogs while out on walks. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like they’re my own, I’d love to meet your four-legged best friend Having two dogs of my own and working from home for my full time job means we get to go on lots of walks! I take my senior dogs on three leisurely walks per day. I am available for dog walking or check-ins on weekdays after 5pm and have full availability on Saturday and Sunday. I am able to walk your dog at whatever length/pace they require. I would also be able to feed, water, play with your dog at your home if that’s what is needed.

“Not only was Sierra amazing with our cats while we were out of town, but she also took amazing care of our home. The kitties loved her. She was able to keep my shy, anxious little cat calm while we were gone, getting her to eat all her food and even play some games! My other little kitty became Sierras best friend, as she was so sweet with him and gave him all the snuggles and play time. Sierra went above and beyond what was asked of her, and I could not give a higher recommendation!”


About: I have taken care animals of all kinds. I grew up having dogs of all sizes and now have a bearded dragon, fish, and doodle. I have taken training classes for my doodle and learned the importance of love and boundaries. I have rescued animals, cared for kitten litters, and helped raise puppy’s of my own and friends and family. I am currently a graduate student and social worker. I work hybrid from home and at the office 2 days a week. I am able to do drop ins no problem as I am used to running around the county. At home I take my pets on walks and I am able to pet sit during the day on weekends. At the clients home I’ll follow your wishes to keep the pet on the same routine as much as possible. If you take walks, then we take walks! If you let them run around the yard then we’re playing in the backyard!

“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.”


“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!”


About: I’ve grown up with herding dogs and adopted my mixed breed rescue puppy, Mona, who is now 2 years old! Ample experience with puppies, training, and adult dog care. Additional experience with high-energy dogs, like herding and working breeds. Open availability throughout the weekend with lesser flexibility on weekdays for boarding and daycare. Contact me if weekdays are needed, and I'm sure we can agree on something that works! Dog Walking: I ensure your dog’s safety by walking routes on quiet streets in the area. Depending on trails and parks near you, I’m open to walking/ playing with your pup in different environments besides neighborhood streets, like taking a trip to the dog park if one is within walking distance! Confirmation of this is required beforehand to ensure the safety of your dog when coming in contact with other pets. Additionally, I do not bring any other people or animals with me. Day Care: Although I live in an apartment complex, I have a large dog park and many safe routes for walks. Your dog will receive ample exercise in addition to socialization and play with my own pup!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have 2 dogs at home and I’ve take care of family members dogs and friends dogs. I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs. As well as dogs that might need extra care or help with things. I love to teach dogs new tricks. I believe in teaching dogs new things everyday and working with them to achieve accomplishments. I am currently in college and my mid day is busy but I have lots of free time in the mornings, afternoons, as well as weekends. I always keep an eye on the dogs I take care of. I ask for anything I need to know such as triggers for the pet, habits, and just how the pet spends there day.

About: I have been taking care of my 4 dogs for six years and I have worked in the animal industry for 2 years. I’ve worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities. I’m currently in school to become a Veterinary Assistant as well. I’m currently working 4 days a week as an intern at a vet clinic. So i’m available to walk around lunch and stay overnight as well. However you want me to care for your fur baby I will provide the best care for them! I will walk, feed, play, and entertain them.

About: We are a dog-loving, professional couple that would love to take care of your buddy while you're away. We do not have kids. There is at least one of us home 90% of the time (except date nights out and errands), so your pet will rarely be alone. We have a great walking path in our neighborhood if your pet likes. I've owned dogs all my life. My wife and I currently have a Shih Tzu named Kimba. He is active, sweet and mischievous. He loves company. He does well with all dogs, but especially likes bigger, playful dogs. Unless by your request, your furbaby will not be caged and will be given the run of the house. Depending on size, they are also welcome to sleep on the furniture, bed or wherever else they're comfortable. We welcome the opportunity to provide care to your furbaby. There is usually at least one of us home during the day. We both work from home most of the time. Rarely will your pet be alone. Our home is their home. They are allowed free range unless otherwise specified. We do not cage our guest, unless specified. They will be taken outside every couple of hours to enjoy the sunshine. We will only board energetic dogs on the weekends when we can dedicate more time to them. We both work from home most of the time, but don't have time during the day to dedicate to an energetic dog. Our dog is very good with other dogs. We don't have a fenced yard, but will not let your dog out without a leash. Your dog will have the run of our home.

About: I've taken care of dogs for friends and neighbors since I was 12. I have two dogs of my own, and am comfortable working with higher energy breeds, larger dogs, as well as any dogs that may have anxiety with new people/places. I have experience with training, and can continue whatever you're working on with your pup while I'm taking care of them. I know how stressful it can be when life gets in the way and you need someone there for your pup, I'm there to make it easier! I'm a stay at home/work from home mom, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I'm available most days throughout the week and am flexible. I have a fenced yard, and two dogs of my own. I am comfortable casting your dog if needed, putting them in a harness or lead, administering medicine, anything you may need.

About: My name is Brittany I’m a stay at home mom married to a Police Sergeant with 3 kiddos who absolutely LOVE animals just like we do :) I do dog sitting because I genuinely LOVE dogs and all animals so being able to care them makes me so happy! I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years, I'm a certified dog trainer, and I have been breeding golden doodles and Giant Schnoodles for over 10 years. Animals are my absolute passion, both my dogs have their Canine Good Citizen certification and my Giant Schnauzer is therapy dog certified. We have a 110lb Giant Schnauzer and a 45lb Goldendoodle, both are unspayed females and both love to play. We also have a cat, bearded dragon, chickens, and a horse and pony. The horse and pony are kept elsewhere. I’ve fostered 75 puppies over the past 20 years and I've bred/raised over 100 puppies so I had to crate train, potty train, leash train, obedience work, and so much more with those puppies giving me a lot of experience as a dog sitter/trainer. About your dogs stay with us: For night time I don’t require them to be crated, only if you crate them at night at home will I crate them. Most pups join in the puppy sleepover in the living room where I put their dog beds next to each other, I do have extra beds if your dogs need one. We have a nice and BIG Fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and play in! Dogs are not put outside and left there for long periods of time at my house. I’m usually out there with them throwing the ball or just supervising, they will never be left outside for long, because let’s be honest this is Florida and it’s hot and the dogs definitely feel it too! I hope you choose me for your pet sitting! I can’t wait to work with you! :) I am home most of the day so I am able to do daily walks, feed on a schedule, and provide love and attention all throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play with my dogs or with me. I feed all dogs separately to avoid conflict and I make sure they are eating even if I need to hand make eggs or chicken to add to their bowl. When I do home visits I spend at the very least 30 minutes in your home with your pet. I don't want them to feel alone so I treat them like I would my own pets but giving love and attention, playtime, and treats if permitted.

About: I have been around pets my whole life, currently I have two dogs and two cats at home so I definitely understand what it takes to care for them. Currently I work part time and take online classes at EFSC, so this allows me plenty of time to be there for your pet babies. I am not scared of dogs and cats, and I believe this would allow me the ability to safely handle most pets in home or on walks.

“Victoria was amazing with our 2 large dogs. They were so happy during their 2 drop-in visits today. The pictures she sent showed how happy they were while we were gone. Can't wait to have her drop-in again during our next trip. Thank you Victoria!”

“For the past few months, Kelly has been walking Nova every week, and it’s been such a big help with my long work hours. Nova lights up every time she sees her! Kelly also communicates really well, which gives me peace of mind.”


Sophia R.
“Sophia is so kind and was perfect for our 4-legged babies! We don’t trust easily when it comes to leaving them with others. I never had a moment of uneasiness when they were in her care. I call her the dog-whisperer 😁. You won’t be disappointed!”


Nancy W.
“I can’t recommend Nancy enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker. She’s one of those rare people that animals just instantly connect with, even shy or cautious pets seem to gravitate towards her like she’s an old friend. She’s been a devoted dog mom to her two pups and you can see how much they adore her. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping pets company, she has a natural gift for making animals feel safe and happy. I know I trust her with my own pets without hesitation! She’s the most loyal and reliable friend you could have.”

Faith H.
“Faith was absolutely amazing with my dog. From the moment they met, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. She was patient, gentle, and incredibly attentive to his needs—making sure he was fed on time, walked regularly, and showered with love and affection. My dog, who can sometimes be shy around new people, warmed up to her almost instantly and seemed genuinely happy in her care. Faith didn’t just watch over him—she treated him like her own, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.”

She is currently in the last stages of a vet assistance program working her externship in a local vet hospital. She is also the mother of 4 labs and dedicates her daily life to taking care of them. She is a compassionate, warm hearted person who would do anything for animals. She would be absolutely perfect for this!”


Tony J.

“I've known Tony and his wife for years as friends and neighbors. They have had dogs as long as I've known them and I know they absolutely spoil their dogs. They kept our dog when we would go on vacation. As soon as we would open our door, our dog would run over to Tony's house. He also looked in on other neighbor's dogs and houses when they were on vacation. I would trust him with my dog at anytime.”


Julia D.Star Sitter
“Julia was phenomenal! I truly felt so homebound with her where she catered to our style of how we watch our dog. She was informative throughout the stay in letting us know every update. We have an epileptic dog and she was extra commutative with medicinal dosages. Someone who is a helicopter with their dog, I was really appreciative and thankful for how she catered to my dog. I’ve considered other locations due to marketing but was turned off with little things that matter most & Julia was very spot and also competitively affordable. Will definitely use her again”


Brittany-Lee H.
“Brittany is our go to dog walker for our Great Dane, Rufus! She has been walking him for a year now and she is great with handling him and always gives him lots of love after the walk. Not only does Brittany send pictures but she leaves these cute report cards detailing her visit with Rufus which we love. Thanks Brittany!”


Romario G.
“If you are looking for an attentive and animal-loving sitter for your fur babies, look no further! Romario is extremely knowledgeable and patient with caring for both dogs and cats. He has years of experience with different breeds and sizes, mighty and mini, he can handle it all! He enjoys walking, fetching and bonding with each pet and even bathes and grooms their nails & paws! He really goes the extra mile to ensure each pet is well taken care of and happy:)”

“Great drop in for our cats! Would Def recommend”

West Melbourne dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leslie did an amazing job. Our pets - 2 dogs and a cat - were well cared for & happy. The check-ins were something I didn't realize I needed in my life. The updates & the pictures gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Definitely recommend Leslie as a caring, responsible sitter.

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.

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!

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.
