“I can’t recommend Jelinna enough to watch over your fur babies. We felt at ease the whole time we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Both of our animals can be a little temperamental in their own ways, and she navigated that wonderfully and became quick friends with our monsters. Communication was wonderful and she left our home in perfect shape. A+++”


“Shania provided professional and loving care to our two dogs for a weekend. She also took perfect care of our home while staying there. We will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”


“Emily watched our dachshund for the weekend and Max enjoyed every minute of it. She spent lots of time with him and gave him lots of cuddles. We will definitely be using Emily again”


“Our older german shepherd did great and the house was spotless when we got back home. We already booked our next appt with Brooke! Highly recommend!”


“Edward took great care of our dog while we were away on a business trip. We came home to a clean and tidy house...which is a bonus! Will book again! :)”


About: From cats and dogs to aquatic and farm, I love them all! I understand how important our pets are to us and it takes an intense amount of trust to allow someone to care for them the way you do. Since I was a little girl, my family dubbed me the phrase "I want to come back as one of Justine's pets in my next life!" I can promise your fur babies will be loved and well cared for while you are away. I am currently a local middle school teacher with all school breaks free! I am available in the mornings and evenings during the school year as well as overnights during the week and weekends. I am able to take small, caged rodents such as hamsters or guinea pigs, in my home but all other animals will be in the comfort of your home. I currently have a dog, two cats and a bunny living in my home.

“Taylor was excellent! She arrived on time for our meet and greet and arrived and left within the agrees upon time frame. She took him on plenty of walks and frequently ?. I returned to a clean house and a very happy pup! I HIGHLY recommend her and will hopefully be using her again!”


“Mary seemed to take great care of our dogs while we were out of town. We received updates and pictures of the dogs daily. House was clean upon our return. Have already book her for our next out of town trip.”


“Carol was so good with Sonny! She took pictures of him and sent us text messages every day to tell us how he was doing. That made us feel so good about leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond what she was asked to do ❤️”


“Shirley saved the day for us. Our scheduled pet sitter became ill and had to cancel. Shirley saved the day, she was able to accommodate my very last minute request. She did very well with our very energetic 14 month old pups. Would recommend.”


“My cat has bad separation anxiety, and Ahjinae did a great job with him while I was away. She provided updates and photos when he came out from his hiding spot and she played with him and gave him attention when he allowed. She was super responsive and flexible as well when scheduling and making arrangements. I will book her again!”


“Debra took great care of my 3 dogs while we were away for the weekend! She sent plenty of photos and updates - and followed all directions. 10/10 will definitely hire her again! :)”


“First time using Rover and Cherie and it was a great experience for my pack of three pups. She kept me updated on how they were doing and made me feel like they were being well cared for.”


“Absolutely amazing experience! Makayla is just awesome, so tentative and thorough with every detail during his time with Makayla! We could tell our pup was so cared for and had a great time!”


About: I have externed at a veterinary clinic, volunteered at animal shelters, and completed a NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) Program in 2017. I provided palliative care for my own senior pup at the end of his life. Currently, I have two cats. I have always been an animal lover and take great joy and caring for our four-legged companions. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I currently work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and have ample time to give all the care and attention that your pet needs. I can stay on property full-time if desired, only stepping away for food runs/necessities. I am prompt and professional. Please let me know if you have any special instructions or if your pet has special needs that require specific care requirements. I will do everything I can to provide a calm and enjoyable experience for your furbaby.

“Pawsitively Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! My first time having Jennifer care for our 3 large dogs and house sit, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care my dogs received. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Jen exuded professionalism and genuine love for dogs from the moment we met. Her warm and caring demeanor immediately put all my dogs and me at ease, making it clear that they would be in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, from initial arrangements to daily updates on my dog's well-being. One aspect that truly stood out was the daily updates and photos provided by Jen. These thoughtful messages not only reassured me of my dog's happiness but also allowed me to feel connected to their experiences in my absence. Her attention to detail was impressive, she came over twice prior to our trip and took the time to learn about my dog's habits, preferences, and any special needs, taking notes about their care and routine. It was evident that they went above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable and loved during my absence. It was evident that she treated my dogs as if they were part of her own family. Then our flight got delayed over 8 hours and upon advising Jennifer she immediately offered to stay longer, and come back again to check on them without any hesitation, I couldn't be more thankful and grateful for her going above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. Her passion for animals, combined with their professionalism and attention to detail, makes her a standout choice for pet owners looking for top-notch care. I can confidently say that I will be booking Jen for all my future dog sitting needs, knowing that my boys will be in the best hands possible. Thank you for the fantastic experience!”


“Nicole was a wonderful sitter. She was flexible, accommodating and easygoing. She took great care of our dog; we will definitely book with her again.”


About: I'm a certified veterinary technician who has been training and caring for dogs most of my life. I'm comfortable medicating and handling health concerns. I've volunteered for my local humane society for over ten years and compete with my own dog in dog sports. I also love cats! I have four of my own, including a special needs boy. I work full time at a vet clinic. I have weekends off. Pets are taken care of before work, at lunch time and directly after work. Including a nighttime check in after that if requested. I'm comfortable with crates, leash walking or any special condition that you may have regarding fences. I also know how to operate gentle leaders, harnesses etc.

About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Toy Poodle and a Yorkshire Terrier. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay.

About: Being raised in a household of multiple dogs, and a cat, animals became my passion. In 1995 I graduated from a Veterinary technician program in Minnesota, in addition to my training and medical capabilities I also am very observant of animals behavior and overall health. I also spent many years in the dog show world traveling all over the country showing, caring for, and handling many dogs of a variety of breeds. After years of working in a vet clinic setting and showing dogs every weekend I decided to step away from that life and concentrate on my family. My career became one of a stay at home mom. I eventually did work part time for some animal rescue organizations as well as managing a low cost spay and neuter bus. My husband is retired paramedic fire fighter with years of experience caring for and training dogs as well. Our children are now grown and we have recently moved from Jupiter, Florida to Cape Coral to be closer to family, and enjoy retirement. I have really missed working with animals and because free time is something I have these days I I decided to reactivated my rover account. It’s time to do something I enjoy again now that Inhave the time and that something is spending time with animals. I believe dogs are family and when caring for other peoples pets they will be treated like my own. Medications, fluids, nails dremeled, baths, and ear cleaning are all things that I can do in addition to your scheduled service. When boarding in my home will be only one dog at a time. If someone has multiple dogs I am willing to make exceptions. My yard is fenced and all trips outside will be supervised. For the most part I am home all day. Dogs are let out frequently and given all kinds of attention. I can try and stick to whatever schedule they are used to. Our yard is fenced we have two sides and each side is fenced separately. I have a bullmastiff and a French bulldog that are great with other dogs but I don’t take any chances with my dogs or others so they will not be together. Heat is also something I don’t let them be exposed to for long. In these summer months trips outside will be short and frequent and supervised
