“Stacey did two drop in visits for us and went above and beyond to work with us knowing that I may need to cancel and/or add another drop in visit. From our first meet and greet I knew she was the one i wanted to check in our sweet pup; she made me feel confident that she could be trusted. Stacey showed up on time and send sent a text so that we know she didn't forget about us. 10 out 10 recommend Stacey take care of your pup!!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, dating back to my parents’ cats they had before I was born. One of my favorite childhood memories is the day we got our family dog Jaybo when I was in first grade and a great memory of my adulthood is when I got my dog Finn in 2018. In my friend group, I have become someone who friends look to for help with taking care of their pets. I love all dogs and will treat yours as if it is my own pet if you entrust them into my care, be it for walks or drop-in visits. I’m currently working a few different part-time jobs which have flexible schedules so I can meet pretty much whatever visitation demands you would like for your dog and would be happy to give them the love, attention and exercise they need while you’re away. I have a small back patio with some grass and would be sure they are well-exercised with walks around my neighborhood. At home, I have a seven-year hound/shepherd mix named Finn who is friendly with all dogs and would love to play with your dog if they are open to that but is also great at reading energies of other dogs and will give space if that’s what your dog prefers.
“Natianna is AMAZING! She took care of my two kitties (senior with health issues and kitten) for a week and was so sweet to them and gave them the best care. I received detailed updates during every visit, and additional photos outside of each visit card. Wonderful and will be booking with whenever I am traveling again!”
“We could tell that our fur-children were comfortable with Andrew by the way they greeted us when we came home. We really appreciated the detailed daily reports and pictures. Thank you Andrew for taking such great care of our cats!!”
“I would highly recommend booking Theo as a pet sitter! They were very attentive and wonderful at communicating with us while we were away. Couldn't ask for more! Theo made it easy to relax while traveling, knowing that my cat was in good hands. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently live in a separate suite on my father’s property. While I don’t have any pets of my own I am an active part of daily care for the family pets and always have been, so this responsibility is not new or burdensome to me. Additionally, my home arrangement affords me the opportunity to give your pet friend undivided care and attention. As a full time student, I have ample time to spend with your pet! Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, or lounging around. All activities fit perfectly into my daily routine. I love being outside, so pets in my care get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and playtime! Whether I’m watching your pet at your home or mine, I always keep things calm, safe, and fun. I closely follow their normal routine and give them the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I have my own separate living quarters, which allows for separation from other animals on the property. However, due to my unique living situation, I still have access to other animals for socialization or companionship if that’s something your pet enjoys.
“Haley did an excellent job. Communication was great. She was very attentive with the dogs and seemed like she truly loved them. I would definitely use her again and would suggest her to family and friends.”

Rain, sleet shine or snow I will always make sure to find time for your pet! I love to take care of all animals! I always ensure that I keep their personalities and routines properly cared for.

“Sara is an excellent sitter and experienced with appropriate body language towards all dogs, but especially our nervous pup! She gave helpful updates and photos and I felt like our dog was in great hands. Definitely recommend and will hire her again! Thanks ☺️”
“By far the best experience I’ve had with any dog sitting, walker, or drop ins. I’ve used Rover quite a bit over the years and they have all been positive, but this one was on another level. Would rebook in a heartbeat!!! Thank you!”
“We had Summer check on our 3 cats while we were out of town. She sent pictures & updates during both her visits. During our meet & greetshe was very polite & professional. We will use her again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was born, and I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I have had two Golden Retrievers and a rescue from the animal shelter. I also have had guinea pigs and taken care of them for around 10 years. I have watched our neighbor's and my grandfather's dogs on multiple occasions. I am currently on summer break from my academic studies at Florida State University in Biomedical Engineering. I have quite a lot of traveling planned this summer and am looking for a flexible and enjoyable job to fill in my free time. I am quite familiar with dogs of all kinds. If anything would be required during a pet-sitting, I most likely have it in my place of residence (Crate, Treats, Leashes, Toys, etc.).

About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“Taylor was responsible for a lot while we were gone for an extended time. She did an awesome job and extra things that I was extremely appreciative of. I would trust her with again with the responsibilities of my home and animals. Hire her. She's great! Thanks Taylor!”
About: I cared for my dog that had cancer for two years before the end of her life. I provided lots of medical care and lots of love. I would be happy to care for your dog in sickness or health. I’m currently taking some time off from work to do things I love. This includes walking dogs. I’m very flexible and excited to help get your dog outside when you are busy. I currently do not have any pets. I have a fenced in large back yard that does include a pool. I would not let your dog be outside unsupervised but can also offer the ability for your dog to swim safely, if you desire. My dog was an integral part of our family and when I care for dogs I treat them the same way. I will provide attentive care and lots of play time for your doggie.

“You want your pet in Curt’s care. He balances playtime, attention, grooming, exercise and food to get a happy worn out dog at the end of the day. Curt Loves all sizes but manages a 70+ pound dog regularly! Cats and other animals too but walking dogs is his wheelhouse.”

“This is to provide a personal testimonial for Christian Gonzalez. He has sat for my many times. We feel comfortable with his service because he has kept our dog safe, provided playtime and individual attention. He is very responsible and has never let us down at the last minute. He is flexible with scheduling. He loves animals and has provided for my dogs every need while we are away on trips. He gives us a peace of mind knowing that my dog is safe and is attended to. His character is proven by being an eagle scout, attending church regularly, maintaining his bright futures in college and a positive attitude about life.”

Raina M.
“Rania has an incredible love for animals and I don’t just mean her own. She grew up rescuing dogs and volunteering at the local shelter to help care and provide for many different animals to find new loving homes. She has a fur baby of her own named Apollo and he is the sweetest, most well behaved dog I’ve ever met! I have two cats myself and she has watched them for me while I was on vacation. She was always in contact with me and kept me updated on my animals to give me peace of mind. I’m sure she would be an excellent caretaker for you and your animals at home if ever in need!”

Michelle W.
“Michelle is an absolute dream of a petsitter! She’s put up with our not-really-trained Golden a few times now and is always super gracious and accommodating. She goes out of her way to make sure Harley has a good time and enjoys herself. After working with us a few times at her house, she even got Harley comfortable in her pool. Now Harley loves being watched by “aunt Michelle.” She sends regular updates so we know how our dog is doing and puts us at ease when we are missing her. I can’t recommend Michelle enough! She will love your fur baby like her own.”
