“Jessica was an amazing drop-in sitter. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of Dice’s latest antics. Her experience as a vet tech made me feel that Dice was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jessica for anyone using her services. They will be assured that they are receiving the best care possible.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, and rats, so I have experience understanding and meeting the unique needs of many different animals. Having cared for a variety of species has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to read each animal’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve always loved animals and take caring for pets very seriously. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful or more relaxed and shy. I’m patient and gentle with animals, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including young pets that need extra attention and older pets that may need a calmer environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure pets get exercise and playtime, and keep their spaces clean and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, and I’m happy to send updates or photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two cats every day. I’m currently a university student at UCF, and I’m very used to balancing my school schedule while still making sure my cats are well taken care of. Even with classes, I always make time to feed them on a regular schedule, clean their litter boxes, play with them, and check on their health and comfort. As of now, I am available anytime from Friday to Sunday to care for your pet. When caring for pets, I prefer to take care of them in the client’s home because it allows the pet to stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. In my experience, most pets tend to feel much safer and less stressed when they can remain in their own space with familiar smells, routines, and surroundings rather than being moved to a new place. While caring for a pet in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, litter box cleaning/walking, playtime, and any other specific routines the pet is used to. I know how important consistency is, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I also take time to understand each pet’s personality. Some enjoy lots of attention and play, while others prefer quiet companionship, and I always respect their boundaries and comfort level. I make sure they have a clean and happy environment while their owner is away.
“We have used Allison twice now and she has been awesome. Her communication is great, she always sends us pictures, and our pets are well cared for. We will definitely use Allison again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats, and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have two cats , and grew up with 3 dogs my whole life - a pitbull mix, a German Shepard mix, and a Chihuahua mix who have always been full of energy and love! I am currently in grad school finishing up my masters in special education and behavior analysis! I currently work 9-5 but I am currently available for 2 to drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I have 2 cats that love company! I also ensure that no matter whose pet I am taking care of, I treat them like my very own!
“Bryanna was a total lifesaver! We had to head into the city unexpectedly and needed a last-minute drop-in for our puppy. They were responsive, reliable, and took great care of her. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there. So apart from the cliche “I’m a dog person” or “I love dogs” statements, I truly am a patient soul when it comes to caring for mans best friend. I myself have a service dog of my own named Snow. I’ve had a lot of hands on experience with many breeds over the years and volunteerd at veterinary clinics and also worked on ranches. I’ve have gained a decent amount of experience with many kinds of four legged and feathered animals, knowledgeable on how to handle or work with frightened or even slightly agressive animals and dogs. I think I am a very engaging and playful owner/ dog sitter and like to ensure that the dogs or puppies I am caring for are getting a good workout in. Should I be caring for an elderly dog, puppy, or sick pup, administering medication is not an issue, cleaning up accidents isn’t an issue. I am a gentle and easy going person and I will accommodate to yours and your pooches needs to the best of my ability. I am currently living in a house. I work part time so I have ample time and room to walk and care for pets. My days usually start early since I go to the gym in the mornings. Lunch is had at 12:00- 1 pm. Dinner is 6-7 pm time frame. I follow whatever instructions are needed for him or her. Feeding schedules, potty breaks, relax time, play time, walking, cuddles. Whatever is needed to ensure that pets are happy and comfortable.
“Emmanuel was so amazing with our cats!! He sent pics everyday and also sent us videos via text. I highly recommend booking with him! I’m hoping he’s available anytime I need a sitter in the future. Thanks, Emmanuel!!”
“Cherie went above and beyond, especially in a time where another rover did not work out. It was a breath of fresh air to get someone so attentive and kind to not only us but our kitties.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since early childhood. I'm most experienced with adult/senior dogs. Friends and family have counted on me for years. I work flexible hours, so please see my profile for current scheduling details, which are subject to change. I'm usually available weekday afternoons and evenings. When I give drop-in visits in your home, I'm attentive to your pet's food and water, bathroom needs, and energy level, and will play with them if they want.
“We met with Michelle before she cared for our dogs. She asked questions that showed she would be attentive to all of the important things and we felt comfortable leaving our girls in her care. Good communication and all went well with an extended drop in. We would definitely use Michelle again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since high school and have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. As a college student, I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your pets like my own while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and routines. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own pets.
“Erika watched our 3 babies twice a day for an entire week. She was truly incredible. She is very responsible, timely, and took multiple pictures of each pup. She was so very patient, experienced, and listened to all of our directions so well. Even when one of our pups was anxious she cleaned up after him and cared for him. Thank you Erika for being so caring and loving to our fur baby family!!”
About: Reliable and outgoing, I love animals of all sizes and shapes. From volunteering at shelters, to helping friends walk their dogs or caring for cats. I currently have a full time job, although I am available during the week days after 6pm and all weekend to play and care for your loved pets! I follow instructions very well and am detailed oriented. I like to send picture updates for extended care, or even after a one time daily walk! I’d like to make the most comfortable, easy and fun experience for owners and their pets.
About: I’m no stranger to walking and caring for pets. Outside of caring for my own for 12 years (before she crossed the rainbow bridge), I’ve walked and cared for a variety of sizes of dogs. I cared for my own cat until she passed away as well. I’ve also joined my local humane society as a volunteer back in 2017. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for your pet, I once had a client where every time the dog drank from his water bowl, I’d wipe his mouth gently. I am a college student with a part-time job — my schedule shifts, but I’m flexible and reliable, always happy to help when I can! I have experience walking dogs of different sizes, and with my own pitbull mix, I’ve learned how to stay alert and hold on during walks. As well as, I am attentive to body language and will never cross any boundaries your pet sets. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
“Veronica is an awesome cat sitter! She did a great job taking care of my cat and gave me a lot of ease of mind while I was away. She is a great communicator and is very responsible and professional! I have used her services twice and will definitely be hiring her again next time I have a big trip! Thanks Veronica!!”
“My cats absolutely love Kellye! She took the time to get to know each of them, learning their quirks and giving them so much love while we are away! As a pet sitter myself, I know the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your animals and I am happy I found that in Kellye!! 🥰”

Kayla was excellent to work with. She was very communicative and our dog loved her. Our dog can be a picky eater and she was super helpful finding ways to make sure she ate enough. She sent lots of great pictures and was able to access everything easily. The house was in perfect condition when we arrived. I would totally book her again.
Our 2 aged and one somewhat infirm and needing a bit of extra attention were in GREAT hands and were very happy, healthy, and well fed in the wonderful care of Natalie! We received regular update photos showing their happiness and care. We will definitely be requesting her help in the future. Thank you
Paityn was wonderful. She has great communication and Mushroom was very well taken care of. I’m very thankful for Paityn‘s flexibility as well. I had a flight cancellation and was a day late getting home and she was able to book the additional day immediately with no notice. I will definitely choose Paityn again to care for Mushroom!!!!
Sydney is AMAZING!!! Our pup, Rocky, warmed up to her so quickly and loves his playtime with her. She is very reliable, communicative, and super flexible when we’re in a pinch and need to make an adjustment to the schedule. Not to mention, she always captures the best photos of our Rockstar 😂 Truly couldn’t ask for a better Rover!!
Once again Alexis is outstanding!! You will not find a better pet sitter. She is so communicative and inquisitive asking important questions! She is so amazing with both cats and dogs and knowledgeable about them! My cats and dogs loooooove her. She is deeply caring and kind and you can trust her completely with your babies. She truly treats them with the utmost love and care. Highly highly recommend. I will never use another sitter because I don’t trust anyone else!!
She is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my fur babies, as if they were her own. I don’t know how she does it, but every visit means receiving the BEST pictures of my babies. The perfect thing to receive while away from them. I highly recommend Camila for your babysitting needs!
