About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals, from puppy’s to domestic geese, I have a German shepherd husky myself named bubby and he is my baby, I got him when he was already a year old, I’ve trained him to speak,leash trained him, potty trained him, and have started working on defense training with him. I also have a goose, duck, two cats I rescued, and two other dogs that I help take care of. I understand the worries of leaving your pets in the hand of a stranger. I assure you I will treat your animals how I would want mine to be treated, no need to stress while being away. I currently work in Cynthiana and get off at 4:30, I am currently looking for something part time so that might change but for now drop in visits are best and dog walkings on certain weekends I would possibly be available for house sitting send me a message and we’ll get it figured oug I have a fenced in back yard that my geese free roam in, they share it with the dogs and my cats have their own room
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a child, currently i have a boxer and a kitty. As for experience, I've dog sat for a set of two shitzus and for my aunt who has a great Dane, pomsky, and a pug. I'd love to watch your fur babies and give them lots of love. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is extremely flexible, I will be attending college going into the fall but id be willing to work around your schedule then as well <3 I take the health and happiness of pets very seriously and any rules or needs your baby needs I will more than happy to accommodate
About: Hello! I’m Ashlyn and I have been raised with at least three dogs all my life, from Yorkies to Great Danes I have owned them all! I currently own two dogs, and have been dog sitting as long as I can remember. I am a full time teacher, so my dogs are put outside and fed at about 7am, put outside again at 3pm, walked and or played with until 5pm, dinner and put outside at 6pm, and outside again at 9pm. On weekends, they follow a very similar routine, with more breaks outside and longer walks. I am comfortable with giving dogs medication, and I am overly cautious with pretty much everything such chewing on furniture, other dogs, etc. The dog being safe and the clients comfort is my top priority.
“Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Kitt was great with my animals, and my shy cat even immediately took to her which is quite impressive. She was clean and respectful of my space. I'll definitely book her again!”
About: i have taken care of some sort of animal since i can remember. My first best friend was Danger, a beautiful Pit Bull i potty and command trained at 5 years old. Since Danger i have raised a variety of dogs (big and small), cats (various breeds), my birds (Vickie and Victoria), one turtle, several fish, etc. My longest lived relative was Chewie (small dog) who recently passed away nearly making it to 20 years old! I am in the process of learning food and natural remedies that can extend the lives of dogs and cats as i truly love animals more than most people. Even having a few terrifying memories with animals, i still hold true to the fact no animal is ever evil or wicked, like some humans. If an animal is mean, it has a reason to be such a way, and all it needs to heal and become clean is a little Jesus love to let the small critter know, “You are appreciated.” This mantra and mindset has taken me very far in life, and enables me to be your Pet’s Next Best Friend! Don’t worry, Dogs are happy! Pets are my passion! i ensure you we provide everything your pet needs under one woof! Who is we? Me myself & i, i like big mutts and i cannot lie, but i love the pitter patter of tiny paws too! i know, i know.. “you had me at woof” but i cannot stress enough how pets are my passion. I am the top dog walker & caretaker, and i assure you we will fetch amazing results! Book with us! I double dog dare you! i currently work at a suit shop (Men’s Wearhouse near the Kenwood Mall) selling suits! I am in a transition period of trying to get my first solo dental practice up and running! Those are the two “jobs” which consume my time, but truly i tell you i consider neither real work as i love both as a passion. When i am not doing either of those things i am typically found deep in the Word of God, with my family, or out and about in nature or at a dog park. I have a very wide schedule as i prioritize every second of each day to maximize my time. You ever meet someone and think, “how do you do all that in a single day? Do you have more than 24hrs to work with?” If you have never met someone like this.. hello! Nice to meet you! I am happy to be the first! 🙃 I have the same approach well similar is a better word. My approach for pets in my home is simple. Treat pets as any other honored or distinguished guest. I keep a variety of snacks and treats at home, such as peanut butter, and a variety of other treats like 360 pet care freeze dried snacks, i have a few toys that seem to be popular among cats and dogs, a case of laser pointers, in case one stops working.. hate to be caught without one when the cats especially are having a good time! I try to stay as prepared as possible for any circumstance that may arise. At my clients home i do the same, and i pack a travel bag similar to the one i bring to the dog park when i frequent there. The prime difference between at home and at a clients home is i practice pet care with added, greater attention to detail. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself, but i tell you (myself) love your neighbor greater than yourself, better than yourself, and you will do well! So with that in mind i try to always think of ways to do more, do better, and be better whenever someone graciously invites me to their home, and whatever i devise i later apply it to myself, so my overall abilities may rise, then i rinse and repeat!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 9, watching over my family's dog(s) was a good experience. I loved watching the dogs play and lay around. I've watched over cats and sat them every now and then. Overall I love animals and their personalities I have some time to play/watch over your pups or kittens! I'm available all week long able to watch them around 10 am to 5 pm. I'm open for drop-in visits and I understand the importance of security for your pets. Wether they're cats or dogs- I get along with both.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brooksville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brooksville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brooksville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
