“THE BEST sitter for my two pups! One, easy going and fun - the other grumpy and grumpy! They loved her! Will definitely be asking Shawnee to come and play with them again!!!”


“Cathy was a great house sitter who looked after our two cats while we were traveling. She communicated really well, drove down to meet the cats before confirming the booking, and showed up on time before us leaving to get access to the building. She also did a wonderful job communicating during our travel/ her stay with the cats. She took care of the cats’ medications needs, too! What I loved most about her is how prompt she is about responding to any messages. She kept us updated with pictures and lots of other information. She has been kind to the cats and tolerated them sleeping in/ on her suitcase, ha ha. We found the cats happy and healthy. She also took care of our place, it looks great- just as we left it. She also washed the sheets and towels and overall left the place exactly as she found if not better☺️ She is a kind person, and very personable. We loved having her as a house / cat sitter and will contact her again when we need her care. Thanks much, Cathy! And see you soon ☺️”


About: With years of hands-on experience in animal care, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering at both wildlife sanctuaries and the SPCA, where I worked with a wide variety of animals in need. My background includes caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to senior companions—as well as animals with medical conditions and special needs. I’m deeply committed to providing patient, compassionate, and attentive care, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after, no matter their age or condition. I currently have open availability and am happy to provide pet care whenever you need it. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute help, I’m flexible and ready to accommodate your schedule. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I provide loving, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home or while out on walks. Whether it's feeding, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I follow your pet’s routine to help them feel safe and stress-free. During walks, I ensure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need, always keeping their safety and happiness as my top priority.


About: We are in a senior community that only allows up to medium dogs. We have had dogs for over 20 years but currently don't have a dog of our own and love to have dog guests. We would love to have sleepovers to get our fix of licks and wags! Your fur baby would have run of our house (furniture included) and will be walked multiple times a day. I work Monday through Friday, but my husband is home all day. Other than occasional trips to the store or out to eat, our fur guests are not left home alone. We only take one family at a time, up to two dogs. We would love to be grandparents to your fur children! My husband is home all day and loves having a dog companion to share his day. Walks around the neighborhood and watching TV are a typical day. All dogs in the community must be leashed and everyone is courteous. If your dog would is shy or anxious, we can walk in our backyard. If outgoing, we can visit the neighbors.

“Lorraine did a great job. We were on a cruise so there was no way she could send pictures although she did send a couple before we actually sailed. House looked good and Olive was a happy. well cared for puppy. Thank you.”

About: Taking care of fur babies has been a passion of mine since a very young age. I used to pretend to be the neighborhood dog trainer at the age of like 7! I’m no dog trainer, but I’m definitely able to love and care for your fur babies like they deserve. I work a full time job, however the hours are pretty flexible. I’m typically off Fridays and Saturday's, so I’m available anytime. Sunday-Thursday it varies but I’m typically available in the morning to 4pm :) I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very far much. I’m a great communicator and will keep in contact and provide pictures through out the experience. If your pet is happy, then I am too!

“Madeline was the best dog sitter we could ask for! She was thorough, attentive and so kind! She came to meet the dogs the day prior, gave us updates the entire time, and left our home spotless and a sweet note with some Polaroids of their weekend together. Madeline was with our pups over 4th of July and stayed home with them to make sure they were comfortable, I would 100% use her again!”


About: Hi everyone! I have grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life. In fact, at my childhood home, we had seven cats at one time- even though my dad is allergic! Since moving to Winter Haven, I have missed having a furry friend around and well, that’s why I am on Rover! I currently work full time but not a traditional 9-5 because I am a pilot- which means I am only not home when I am flying! If I am unable to fulfill a request because of my travel schedule, I will be sure to let you know I am unavailable. At my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but it is a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. My roommates currently have one dog and one cat but if your pet doesn’t get along with other animals, I can keep them separate. Just let me know!

“Broth is amazing! She communicates about the dogs well, is responsible, and so loving. As it was Lola’s first time with another human other my husband and me, I was worried about how she’d do. Beth demonstrated patience , knowledge about dog behavior and care. At the end of the stay, Lola allowed Beth to hold her! I highly recommend her!”

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.

About: Besides having owned pets, I have worked with 2 shelters to foster long stay animals. I also enjoy watching McCann and Zak George dog training videos. My friends often ask me to care for their feline and canine babies while they are on vacation. I have experienced the peace of mind of leaving my pets with a great caregiver, and so I appreciate how important it is to provide you with this confidence. During the week, I am primarily available in the evenings between 5-8 pm. On weekends, early morning between 6-9 am, mid to late afternoons and evenings between 1-3 pm, and 7-8 pm are good times. First of all, I'll ask about your pet care rountine and preferences. This way I can stick to your pets typical routine as much as possible. Then I will feed and exercse according to your stipulations. Of course, I will engage your pet with play, belly rubs and ear stratches according to their liking.

“Yesenia was AMAZING! She cared for my 2 fur babies the same (or better) ? than I do. Bella and Josie loved her! Yesenia was very detail oriented and even helped with trash collection and lawn cutting days?. I would rate Yesenia as EXCELLENT! Very professional and conscientious. I highly recommend her pet care. Thank you, Yesenia!?”


About: I have had a boxer and a bullmastiff, but I have experience working with yellow labs, golden retrievers, as well smaller dogs. I also had a cat that I cared for and help take care of my roommates cat when I am away at school. In high school I took a course that taught me how to properly care for and handle chinchillas, rats, gerbils, ferrets, rabbits, and other small pets. I have watched my sister’s, cousin’s, and aunt’s dogs on several occasions and would be happy to work on different tricks and skills with puppies and kittens. My top priority will be making sure your pet is safe and entertained! I am a substitute teacher and am going to have a lot of extra time on my hands when school gets out at the end of May. I don’t have a pet myself and would love to help make pet care easier for people who need it! I love spending time with animals and will happily play fetch or tug of war for as long as your dog is would like, or any game your pet loves.

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family — giving them the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies who need training and playtime, to senior pets who require gentle handling, medication, and extra patience. I’m also attentive to each pet’s unique routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is naturally built into my day — I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give animals the time and attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening feedings, I make sure pets stay on their usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. n my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable space where they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I stick closely to their regular feeding and exercise schedule, and I always provide fresh water, cozy resting areas, and supervised outdoor time.

Her communication skills are exceptional. She has always kept me updated with constant messages and photos, making me feel reassured about Momo's well-being and allowing me to enjoy my time away without worry.Her honesty and trustworthiness stand out. I've always been impressed with Melissa's integrity in every aspect of her life, and these qualities shine through in her pet sitting as well. Leaving your pet in someone else's care requires a great deal of trust, and Melissa has proven time and again that she is more than deserving of that trust.In a world where genuine compassion and dedication are rare, Melissa stands out as a beacon of warmth and reliability. For anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker who will care for their furry family members as if they were her own, Melissa is the perfect choice.

Nevaeh H.
“I can’t say enough good things about Nevaeh ! I had to leave town unexpectedly for a long weekend, and she stepped right in to care for my three dogs — Max, Daisy, and Cooper. She made sure they stuck to their regular feeding schedule, took them on daily walks, and even sent me pictures and little updates so I knew they were happy and well. Max can be a bit shy with new people, but he warmed up to her right away. Daisy needs her medication twice a day, and she handled that with no problem. Cooper is our wild one, but she kept him entertained with fetch and tug-of-war until he was ready to nap. When I came home, the dogs were relaxed, tails wagging, and the house was just as I left it. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in loving, capable hands. I will definitely be booking her again!”
