“Alyssa was absolutely amazing beyond expectations. She cared for our 2 pups and our cat. Great communication and true care for our babies. Would highly recommend and when needed Will definitely ask for help again. A+++”

“Doug is such a caring person. He took amazing care of our dog and house for more than a week. Our dog absolutely loved him. Moreover he took care of our plants and fish. He also did a very beautiful sketch of our dog. He is so talented! We are highly recommending him!”

“Mary was an amazing caregiver to our dog Gracie while we attended our daughters wedding in Washington State. I appreciate her staying the entire time so my dog didn't get lonely. She is a kind, caring and trusting person. I would highly recommend Mary to stay with you furry loved ones.”

“Victoria was absolutely amazing with my fur babies! They are older and require medication administration with meals / can have some anxiety but she was on the ball and made sure everyone was on schedule with meds and meal time ! I came home to the house the exact way I'd left it ! (Maybe a bit tidier!) I would recommend Victoria to anyone and will be hiring her to take care of my pups whenever I go out of town in the future !”

About: My dog is my whole world. He’s family. And I’m sure your pet is your whole world as well. That’s why I make it my priority to treat your pet the way I want someone to treat mine; like family (Olive Garden and I share the same sentiment). I have experience caring for young and old dogs. I also make sure that I closely follow any routines or schedules that you provide. I am a teacher, so during the summer months I will have a lot of availability to walk, drop-in, stay with, or host your dog. I am happy to come to your home to care for your pet. I do have my own friendly dog, so I ask that if you need me for more than an hour or two that he be allowed to join me. He gets along great with dogs and cats. We can arrange a meeting before having your dog and mine interact. For care in my home: Welcome home! My dog is allowed on furniture, and so is yours. I have a spare bedroom where a kennel can be set up for dogs who like their space at night (or they can be with me). I have a screened lanai for dogs who like to be outside but don’t want to run around.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.
About: I may be new to the Rover community but I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 a golden retriever and a mini Aussie. I pet sit for many family members and friends in the neighborhood including both cats and dogs. I would love to get to know your furry friends! I currently am a college student home for the summer so I am free whenever to pet sit/pet walk. This is literally my dream job. I am willing to do anything that the owner needs for their pet. I love dogs and am very willing to do anything needed in your home.
“Lydia and Emmitt were fantastic. They were very consistent in their visits and updates and I could tell they gave our pets plenty of love and cared for them like their own! They also were very respectful and left our house exactly as we left it & even brought in packages for us. Would recommend!”

“Hailee house sat with our dog who has separation anxiety. Meaning she couldn’t leave the house. Not ideal for sure. This is the first time we had used a house sitter and we were a bit nervous. Everything went perfectly! We are so thankful for Hailee and will definitely use her again. Thank-you Hailee 🐕”

“Joy and Casey were AWESOME!!! They took such great care of my babies! Joy sent me updates the entire time, including pics and videos! I was very nervous to leave my babies with “strangers” but they made it very comfortable for me, and the dogs clearly love them both!! I will for sure be using Joy again.”
About: I really treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know their routines, what makes them feel safe, and what brings them joy—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just some quiet company. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I also recently raised and trained a puppy in the last 4 years. I am pretty flexible for the most part! I work a remote job so its easy for me to be here and there. Just really depends on your needs. It really just depends on what the owner prefers! I am all about sticking to routine to keep the pups happy and relaxed. I follow instructions very closely.
“Lucas did a great job caring for our lab. He engages well with the dog and seems to genuinely like caring for him. He was very respectful of our home and communicates well. Lucas is very responsible and trustworthy. Highly recommend him!!!”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our senior dog and our home while we were away. She provided updates and photos throughout her stay. I highly recommend Stephanie to take care of your fur baby and home.”

“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. They have always been part of my life, and I never had any complaints. I’ve had cats, dogs, lizards, turtles, etc! everyone around me knows my love for animals and asks me questions about their own pets if they don’t know something. My dream is to have a huge farm filled with a bunch of animals. Animals will always be part of who i am :) I currently have a full time job from Tues-Sat so I am available mornings those days, Sunday and Monday all day to care for your babies :) I always treat peoples pets as if they were my own, giving them the care they need if it’s food, cuddles, or walks! whatever the precious pet needs!
About: Whether your pet needs walks, active play, or cuddles I treat them like my own! Huge animal lover and have been pet sitting for 10 years now. I’m currently working Monday to Thursday 9-5. I’m always available those days early before 9 and evenings after 5 or anytime Friday through Sunday is perfect! i’m always hanging with my dog he’s my best friend but if it was necessary i have a crate that he actually loves to be in!

About: I’ve loved and taken care of all kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends often relied on me to check in and board pets while they were away. I have experience with cats, dogs (high drive breeds like Belgian Tervuren), and even reptiles! I’m currently available full-time for pet care, so I’ll have plenty of time to look after and focus on every pet! I’m available for boards Friday- Monday, and pick-ups/drop-offs after 4:30 pm. I have a fenced in patio and one friendly dog to keep your pet company, or separate if needed! There are many local parks I love to spend time at and a pool for pets to enjoy! Kitties will have their own safe and separate room for their enjoyment! I have a designated area for reptiles to accommodate enclosures and equipment. Every animal in my care will have their own safe place and care guide put together to ensure each member of your family is taken care of with all the love, effort, and attention they would receive at home.
Westwood Lakes pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time having Rylie look after our two greyhounds and once again she did a great job. The dogs clearly love her and she takes exceptional care of them. We also came home to a clean home and she had even washed the bed sheets and towels and put the new sheets on the bed ready for us to collapse into as soon as we got home! We very much appreciate the great care Rylie takes of our dogs and home and look forward to booking her again in the future!

I had an unexpected emergency and had to fly out of town at the last minute, and she truly came to the rescue. She was incredibly attentive to my dog, Charlie, and kept me updated the entire time. It was clear he was comfortable and having fun while she was with him. I came home to a happy, relaxed puppy, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help during a stressful situation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
