“Simone does so well with my active blue heeler Australian Cattle Dog! He does really well with her and he gets a full 30 minute walk in. She is always on time and is easy to work with!”
“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”
“Laura was so great! She coordinated with me last minute and was able to take my little fur baby on multiple daily walks. She even made sure he was well hydrated on the walks. Definitely recommend!”
“I contacted Daniela on short notice due to an unexpected business trip. She was very accommodating and even stopped by my house to meet my little spoiled brat before I left. She did an awesome job walking my Barney and sent me plenty of pictures every day. I would highly recommend Daniela to entrust your pet sitting and/or walking needs. She is great.?”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Nikki to walk my Gabby and do drop ins on Gabby and my cat, Tucker. She's so good with both of them. She mostly walks Gabby but she always makes sure to take 5 minutes to talk to Tucker and pet him before she goes. I highly recommend Nikki. She's part of my little family now.”
“Stephanie was wonderful with my large and strong dog "Rummy". He adores her. 😃 She responded promptly to my last minute request. She is professional and communicates well including sending updates and photos during their walks. I will certainly book her again! Thanks Stephanie!”

“Regina is a very experienced dog walker/pet sitter. Her professionalism is apparent from her first visit. She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives. She makes us aware of any concerns she may have with my dogs heath or if there is any concerns at my house during the visit, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.”
“Daria has been amazing for our puppy! She communicates and makes sure she knows what you expect. She plays with our puppy and even sends us videos throughout her visit! Highly recommend.”
“Nathalia is a highly dependable young lady who you can count on to show up on time and take great care of your four-legged friend. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”
About: Hello! I am new to Rover, but certainly not new to pet care! From dogs and cats to snakes and gerbils, I have plenty of experience to care for your pets. I am happy to accommodate to several types of animals and personality types. I am able to provide specific care such as administering oral medications or bath times. I am happy to hang out on the couch and give pets all day or even take your pet for a run. I have a reliable car (2019 Jeep with 50k miles) and am extremely punctual and can communicate directly and effectively. I have recently graduated from Eckerd College (the #1 most pet friendly college in America!) and am currently taking a gap year while I study for the LSAT. The best part about that is I am extremely available! I am the biggest pet lover and would love to be able to help some pet parents out! If there are any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you! I am extremely available! I am currently not working as I am studying for the LSAT and preparing law school applications. My only commitment is from 3:30-4:30 every weekday. I will always make sure that your pet has eaten, gone for a walk, and most importantly, gotten lots of love. I enjoy being around animals more than anything and I can be very flexible with clients for any specific needs.
About: An animal lover, I have cared for dogs, cats and canaries. I connect with animals, attend to their needs and yours. I'll make sure the active pets get their running and fetching in and that the older more needy pets are protected and loved as per their needs. I would care for the pets during the week before and after dropping my daughter off to school and before or after her afterschool activities. And on the weekends before and after playing volleyball. I am responsible and will go to your home during the agreed upon times, ensuring your pets area is clean, and has water and food as per your instructions. In my home I have ample green spaces for the pet to go for a walk and a safe space they can play with my kind and gentle daughter.
About: Dogs are everyone’s best friends! Whether is going on a walk or running around playing fetch, the chance to bond is what matters most. I want to show love and loyalty to all. I don’t as of right now so i’m always around to make sure your pet is in a safe space! I’m able to transport no matter the distance so you won’t have to worry :) I’m big on keeping a clean place no matter the activity. I stay on track of feeding schedules and giving lots of love at all times!
About: As a fellow dog mom, I have the experience and knowledge to take care of all sorts of puppers! I had a bloodhound for 7.5 years with various medical needs and now have a 15 month old bloodhound puppy. I work a full time job during the week, but sometimes work from home. The evenings I spend taking Bear to the dog park to release that crazy energy, so if you feel comfortable, your pet is more than welcome to come. If not, then instead of the dog park, I like to take Bear for long walks (mindful of the Florida summer heat - usually at sunset). Weekends are spent the same way with doggie activities early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid that Florida summer sun. While I don’t have a fence around my home, I have a very dog friendly neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. From having a senior dog now to a puppy, I am well trained in leash walking with various ages and sizes of dogs.
About: I have two indoor cats and one feral cat that I care for. I find cats to be very personable if you show them attention. My son has recently graduated and find I have plenty of free time on my hands. I am also a realtor and have a very flexible schedule. I will take care of your pets as you would. I know from my own experience that pets miss their humans when they are away. I will do my best to comfort and make sure they are safe.
About: I have grew up with dogs my whole life and have always had so much love for them. I have a 13 year old lab called Bella, and over the years I have taken care of dogs (& cats!) of all sizes. I typically work nights, so I make sure the dogs are fed and went out as soon as I leave, and take them out again as soon as I get home. My home has a lot of space for the dogs to roam about in, I can also accommodate crates. I have an old friendly dog that loves to have company, but will also keep them in line!
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers. We both grew up with family dogs and went on to adopt our own dogs in our 20s. We now have two young kids and one 11 year old dog, Sky. We both work from home Monday-Friday and have a fenced in backyard. We are happy to bring your dog to play in our yard and/or go for walks around our quiet neighborhood. Dogs MUST be friendly with young kids and other dogs. We work from home full-time. We will happily accept small & medium-large sized dogs who get along well with other dogs and small kids. We would like to schedule time for you and your dog to come over and meet us and our dogs before we accept a booking. We have never sent our dogs a kennel, and I think every dog should be so lucky. Knowing how hard it is to leave your dogs with just anyone - I am looking to build relationships with a few families and their dogs that we can care for when you are out of town.
