About: I have lived with both dogs and cats my entire life and would consider myself an expert on both. I have a lot of experience with tending to elderly dogs as well as dealing with some temperamental cats. I already dedicate time to taking care of my tabby cat. This involves feeding him, getting him lots of exercise, changing cat litter and more. I am able to help with whatever is necessary in caring for pets including feeding, changing water, playing, taking out to the bathroom, and even walks.

“Shelby was amazing! She was scheduled for 2 visits a day for 2 days when family was visiting from out of state with their 10 month old puppy. She was prompt, spent a good amount of time with the puppy on her visits and sent the most precious pictures at every visit. Don’t hesitate to call Shelby, I highly recommend her!”

“Danielle put me right at ease with her level of experience working with dogs. She was comfortable with my dogs' "quirks" immediately, and she did a fantastic job taking care of them, as well as gave me a lot of pictures and feedback on how they were behaving. I would gladly have her take care of my babies again, and I recommend her without hesitation.”

“Stacy cared for my golden retriever fresh out of life saving surgery. Her knowledge and experience with animals showed during her care for my dog named Ali. I felt so good know she was in such good hands. Thank you Stacy Ali 🐾misses you already !”

“Illian was available for my last minute drop in for my cat and she was excellent! My cat can be very skiddish but she made sure to sit with her and try and get her to come out of hiding and play a bit. So glad she was available last minute”

“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.”

“Mary is wonderful and Boulder and I love having her spend time with him! It’s so nice to be able to have her to rely on knowing she will take excellent care of Boulder and I don’t have to worry while I’m at work. Thank you for always being there to help!”

“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”

“Had a great experience working with Cyndy. She was so quick to respond and followed my instructions perfectly. My cat Neko liked her immediately too and seemed totally at ease with her at their first meeting. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’m not just a sitter…I’m your dog’s new bestie! With a fenced backyard for zoomies, fetch, and sunshine naps, every visit is full of fun and love. I make sure each pup gets personal attention, endless belly rubs, and a stress-free stay while you’re gone. I work full time from 7-330 but as soon as I’m home, my time is your pet’s time. I allow dogs to sleep in the bed if they’re used to that, or I follow any client-driven requests! Your preference. Your dog has endless access to the fenced backyard! And I have a pug that loves to play with other dogs! Friendly dogs are welcome!
“Erika is fantastic! She has been prompt and always sending pics and giving updates for my kitty ! Was in a pinch to find someone to watch my cat and could not be happier I found her ! Will definitely book her again !”

“Michelle was awesome! Our cats are skittish and don't normally come out when strangers are here. On the meet and greet all 3 came out and allowed her to pet them! That told me a lot about what kind of person she is. The diaries were great. I could tell our babies were at ease. They were well taken care of. I'd use here every time.”

“Olivia was great. I was extremely comfortable during our meet and greet. She was not in a rush to get in and out. My dogs were very comfortable around her and when she came for her first drop in I was totally comfortable and I appreciate the pictures. She let me know she was on her way, and when she left. I am a big fan of communication and Olivia was all over it. I am excited to fill her calendar.”

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.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and growing up around them taught me how to understand and care for different personalities and needs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I know how much pets mean to their owners. I started pet sitting at around age 12, helping out family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve loved it ever since. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday, which makes me available Friday through Sunday for check-ins and walks. I’m reliable and committed to providing consistent, quality care during my availability.” When caring for pets in your home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and—most importantly—lots of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your space, so I’m always respectful, clean, and communicative. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is in great hands.
West Melbourne dog parents share their Rover experiences
Isaac did a great job visiting our dog multiple times a day while we were out. He was responsive and kept us in the loop of the dogs and sent us pictures. Our dog was very shy/skittish and he tried to make the best of the situation and appreciate he was able to visit multiple times.

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 :)

Mary went above and beyond to make sure Charlie (and our fish) were well taken care of during our trip. We never had to worry and she routinely stayed over the thirty minute time slot and gave him long walks to let him get his time outside in. He’s a bigger dog with some reactivity with small animals and she handled him with no issues at all and extreme care. From the pictures we got we could tell that Charlie really loved her! I highly recommend Mary for dog sitting!!

Sophia was great with Tater our Bulldog. Highly recommended, if you are in need of a pet care/sitter. Sophia was super, she was on time, communicates very well, to include her arrival, her time spent caring for your pet with interactions and her departure. Thank you Sophia

Wendy was a lifesaver! She stepped in on very short notice and took great care of our dogs, letting them out twice a day as needed. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We really appreciated her flexibility and would absolutely trust her again.
