“My dog loves it when Jonathan shows up and he always takes great care of her. I would highly recommend Jonathan to trust with your loved ones.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, including Great Danes, Huskies, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Blue Heelers. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Over the years, friends and coworkers have trusted me to help care for their pups, whether that means walking, bathing, providing a safe and fun place to spend the day, or simply giving them the attention and exercise they need. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with essential training and care routines, including potty training, basic obedience, and crate training. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure each pup feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a reliable walker, a playful companion, or a calm and structured environment, I’m here to help! I work from home and create my own schedule, which gives me a great deal of flexibility and reliability when it comes to caring for your fur babies. My availability is generally very open, and I’m always happy to stay in full communication—providing updates, answering questions, or checking in whenever you need. I do have two kids who are active in sports, so there may occasionally be a soccer game on the weekend or a practice during the week. That said, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure the pets in my care always receive the attention and consistency they deserve. If you happen to see limited availability on certain dates, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. I’m often able to adjust my schedule or make accommodations to help meet your needs! Your pup will feel right at home here! We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, as well as kennels/crates available if needed to match your dog’s routine and comfort level. We also have two playful and friendly dogs who are great with both kids and other pups. They love making new friends, whether that means running around the yard, playing together, or relaxing inside. (And yes—zoomies around the house do happen from time to time!) Of course, any interaction with our dogs is always based on your comfort level and your pet’s needs. Our home is a loving, relaxed environment where dogs are treated like family. They’re welcome to snuggle on the couch, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy a consistent routine. Feedings are typically twice a day, with the occasional well-earned treat. While your pet is in my care, I’ll stay in close communication with you—sharing updates, photos, and reassurance so you always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I have been around animals my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs since I was born and have experience caring for both dogs and foster cats of all ages. I am comfortable handling puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I currently have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are well-socialized with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I also have the ability to keep dogs separated to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. My home is equipped with supplies for dogs, including crates and other essentials, and I am happy to accommodate additional needs whenever possible. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, cuddles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I will treat them like family. In addition, I am CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive volunteer experience in healthcare. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout every stay. I am a recent high school graduate and an incoming University of Florida student, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I have reliable transportation and am available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Because of my open availability, I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and last-minute requests whenever possible. My goal is to provide dependable care that works with both your schedule and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with supplies to care for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are comfortable around other animals. If needed, I can easily keep pets separated using crates and separate areas of the home to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. I am experienced with both dogs and cats, including foster cats, puppies, and kittens. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests provided by owners. I currently have a senior dog of my own and have experience administering medications and following consistent care routines. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Excellent. Quintin is professional and always caring.”

“Kaitlin is the absolute best! My picky Chihuahua loves her. She is timely, communicative, and caring. I felt very at ease having Kaitlin walk my baby. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Richard was amazing!!! From giving my pups lots of love and attention to sending updates and photos as he was caring for our Brentley! He paid attention to details and followed the notes that were left for my dog! I would definitely recommend booking Richard as your sitter!”

About: Kim's Sit & Stay Inn No, that's not really the name...but it may as well be! FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE! PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED!! I am happy to work with you because I would want the same for my dogs. Hey there! I'm a MASSIVE animal lover that graduated from the Zoo program at Santa Fe College, and I am currently working full time on Rover. I'm here for your last minute needs! Big pups, small pups, I love them all. My husband and daughter are very involved as well so your fur baby basically gains an extended family when they stay with us. <3 <3 <3 I have a big back yard, comfy couch, and a 17 year old teen who also loves animals- so your pup will never be lonely. I am available 24/7 via text message, and other apps. (Limited cell service though so calling is limited. ) I have 4 indoor cats as well, but they have their own space (bedroom) and prefer to hide out there if there are any 4 legged visitors. I live on 1 acre in Alachua, Florida and about half of that is fenced, so we have a fully fenced back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I'm also close to the I-75 interstate. I take my job very seriously and understand how stressful it can be to have to leave your pets with a stranger. I always recommend a meet and greet first before booking with me, but sometimes things are last minute and that's okay too. Hope to hear from you soon, have a nice day! 👍🏻 I am home all day, as this is my primary income. My husband works during the day. I can give your pups the attention they need, or space if necessary. I have a large yard and can take them out as often as needed. I allow pets on my furniture, and all my other doors in the house stay shut at all times. All pets are fed separately from each other so there is no food aggression.

“Raegan did an amazing job caring for my 2 large doodles which was booked somewhat last minute. She followed all instructions and I felt safe and comfortable entrusting her with my dogs!”

About: Since I’ve worked in Vet care and am in school to become a vet (plus I have 5 seniors who require fluids, pills, and injections) I am experienced at taken care of special pets of all sizes. Your fur baby isn’t “just a pet”.. I truly get it. I have two cats and 3 dogs myself, so I know firsthand how much patience fur babies can need, how picky they can be, and exactly why they’re so important to us. All my fur babies are seniors now. Some need injections, some take their medication orally. So whatever your fur baby needs I can handle it! I’ll treat your baby exactly as you would! Following every instruction, respecting their routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll always send check ins and updates, and whether your kitty prefers space, affection, or a little bit of both, I’ll meet them where they are 🐾 As a freelancer, pet care fits naturally into my daily life since I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine, making sure they get the time, attention, and consistency they need. I genuinely love fur babies, so spending time caring for them isn’t something I squeeze in.. it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize 🤍🐾 I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether I’m stopping by for a walk, giving medication, or staying for house/pet sitting. In your home, I follow all instructions closely. Feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, litter box or potty needs, and any specific preferences your pet has. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets safe exercise, attention, and a quick check-in on their overall well-being. If medication is needed, I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to make sure it’s given properly and comfortably. For house or pet sitting, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I respect your home, keep things clean, and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to match their personality. whether they need extra playtime, lots of affection, or space and quiet companionship.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’ve volunteered at animal shelters since I was eight, where I gained hands on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I also fostered dogs, helping with training, socialization, and basic care. In college, I helped care for my roommate’s dog, and since then, I’ve continued dog sitting for friends and coworkers. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work full-time but have a flexible job to be able to come home/check in at lunch time on animals. I am also able to stay in homes to ensure the pets are most comfortable. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved in their usual routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions exactly as provided. I spend quality time playing with them, giving attention, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection. I always keep the home tidy and ensure the pet feels calm and cared for while their owner is away.

“Bruny was super flexible for this last-minute walk. Very attentive and friendly!”

About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.

About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoofy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡

About: Aloha, I'm Anna Lyra 😊 I've connected deeply with animals my whole life, and began caring for them around age 11. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a great love for all creatures. Cats are my specialty, though my skills are also effective with dogs and all kinds of other animals. I am a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. My cats remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I practice Reiki (energy healing) that is very effective with animals. For now, I'm offering my Reiki treatments for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits, House Sitting, or Dog Walking). I also have experience with animal hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a 21+ year old cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 So I've been doing animal care for a long time with shining 5 star reviews, I'm just new to Rover ✨ I'm self-employed with a flexible schedule. I can work with you to sculpt the ideal care that your pet(s) needs. Reach out to discuss possibilities! 🦮🐈🦜🐇🐠🐍🐎🐁🐐🐓🐄🦆🦎🐑🐖🫏 My pets and my client's pets are a top priority and I take it very seriously. My own cats benefit from the highest quality food, attention, and environment. I am highly attuned to their needs & emotions, providing gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. While I specialize in Cat Whispering, my care for all animals goes above and beyond! I treat others as I want to be treated: with honesty, safety, and high quality care wrapped in positive & loving energy 💟

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old when we got our family Doberman. Since then we have had several dogs and now I have a miniature dachshund named Maggie! I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I’m in nursing school so I will have time outside of class to care for your pet! I generally do not have evening plans so I can accommodate your pet in the evenings and afternoons. I have a clean home with adequate space and live in an apartment community with paved sidewalks. I have extra blankets, food bowls, and live near several parks as well.

About: I have been dog sitting on Rover for the past ten years and have loved it always. I give pet owners updates 2-3 times a day with pictures or videos of your pet so you dont have to worry about them when you’re away. I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! I live right across from a huge fenced-in dog park which we can explore anytime. We can run around all day, and when we're all tired, we can lounge on the couch and relax. I take daily walks, which your pet is welcome to join. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading every day so other than a few hours throughout the day, I am on site I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me

About: I have had dogs my whole life. They are my love and passion! All dogs with suit me and my lifestyle. I am very attentive and will show them much love. I am great with active dogs, in which match my lifestyle, but also love calm dogs to relax with. My communication is on point and will get back to you within a few hours at most. I am usually out of the house between 1-3 Monday- Friday but other than that, I am home all day and would love to take care of your dog!! Right now we have no other pets living at my appt. so your dog will be the spotlight of my household. I love going for walks and possibly runs. I have a spacious household for plenty of activities as well!

About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work and am a student at the University of Florida! I am still pretty flexible on my time, so reach out and we can work something out! Like stated earlier, I have many years of experience of pet sitting from different clients and work places. I have gained knowledge from each place that I plan to use for the safety and well being of any future clients! pets
