Pet Sitting Astor

“I’ve had a profile in Rover set up for years, utilized the services for the first time today. Had I known Catherine would make me feel this at ease and more importantly make my Prince comfortable I would have used it much sooner. Its my preference to not take him out of his comfort zone particularly when I’m only away for a day due his ailments and age (17 y/o). Thank you so much Catherine can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you, I was able to be present all day today knowing my Prince was in good hands.”

“I had an emergency hospitalization and contacted Rover. Jennifer did a great job watching my female Whippet Cinnamon 2 days in a row, playing with her, walking her, feeding her, taking her to the dog park. She took videos & pics. She did everything I asked.”

“Laurie stepped in for us last minute and was both prompt and efficient. She kept us updated throughout and sent plenty of photos of our pups while we were out of town, which we really appreciated.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and as a pet mom to four dogs of my own, I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My family includes an 11-year-old chocolate Labrador, an 8-year-old white Labrador, a 7-year-old black Labrador, and a 6-year-old mini Frenchie, so I have hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and stages of life, including senior dogs. I’m attentive, dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping in for a visit, feeding, refreshing water, giving extra attention, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I also understand how important communication is when you’re away, so you can expect dependable updates and photos and the peace of mind of knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule offers me the flexibility to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime and companionship, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine whenever possible. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how important consistency is, especially when you’re trusting someone else with their care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine will always come first. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, crates, gates and household routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and never take unnecessary risks with pets in my care. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would expect in mine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for.

“Amber was excellent. Pets were happy and well taken care of.”

“Danielle was a real life-saver by taking the booking at the last minute due to another cancellation hours before I was leaving town. She was able to meet with me quickly and understood Coco’s care needs. Everything was completed as requested and I returned to find Coco calm and happy! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the notes from each visit. Great experience with Danielle!”

About: I’ve cared for everything from tiny puppies to large Goldendoodles, as well as cats, and I have experience caring for multiple pets at the same time. Every dog I meet ends up not wanting to go home! I treat your pet like family:) I recently graduated and am currently job hunting, which means I’m fully available to care for your pet full time! I’m always ready for a walk anytime! 😊 My home has lots of open space and barely any furniture, perfect for your pups and kitties to roam! We also visit the apartment dog park daily. Bonus: I don’t wear shoes indoors (culture thing!), so no bugs! just clean, comfy vibes. 😄

Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first!

About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.

“Alexia has checked on my cats for 2 separate vacations I’ve been on. She does a thorough job and always updates you on how your pets are doing. My cats don’t like to show their face to strangers ? but if your’s do, she will send you pics. Would definitely use her again.”

About: Ive owned dogs throughout the course of my life. From small dogs to big ones and everything in between! I would love to get to care for your fur babies no matter the age, size or breed! I have a very flexible schedule and can do full time and part time depending on what your needs are including multiple drops in visits or walks! I have a fenced in back yard and live in a quiet neighborhood close to parks and the beach. I am very active and can provide exercise for the more energetic pups!

About: I have had 2 dogs and a cat for the past 13 years and they are an extension of my family. Since college I’ve cared for my friend’s animals while they’ve gone on vacation or out of town. I’ve dropped into their home every few hours and have hosted them at my place. While caring for your animals, their physical safety is a top priority. Whether it be while they’re interacting with other animals at the dog park, or we bump into another pup while on a walk, I will always make sure they are well and no harm comes their way. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry babies. Taking a long walk outdoors is a part of my daily routine. I love to care for animal’s needs from walking them, feeding them, petting them, or giving animals time to interact with other animals at a local park.

About: Growing up, I always had a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both large and small breeds including Akitas, Huskies, Boxers, Chihuahuas, and Pomsky mixes. As I got older and moved out on my own, I owned a pitbull who I loved wholeheartedly and sadly lost to cancer in 2024. Since then, I’ve adopted two beautiful American Staffordshire Terriers from the same litter who have filled my home with love again. I truly treat every dog like family. They are welcome on the couches, in the bed, and even in the pool if approved by you! I have a fenced in backyard for safe playtime and lots of room for love, cuddles, and attention. I’m also great with teaching basic commands, keeping routines consistent, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, and you may even come home to a cleaner house than you left! I genuinely love bringing happiness, comfort, and peace of mind to people and their pets. I recently moved to Florida from Buffalo and decided to start pet sitting to help fill my free time doing something that truly makes me happy. As much as I hope to help your dog feel loved and cared for, they help my heart just as much too. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, love, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time around animals, so your pup will never feel ignored or lonely while in my care. I am very flexible with schedules and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a unfenced backyard, but a lot of yard, lots of walking trails and sidewalks, a loving home environment, and experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my previous pitbull was very reactive & didn’t get along with other dogs if you have a reactive dog I completely understand! I always follow routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
