About: I have had pets most of my life. As a child a cocker spaniel named Winston. Then a golden retriever named Honey. Fish, hermit crabs, etc. I live on 1.5 acres in the swamp on Lake Rousseau it is spacious and beautiful. I would love to care for dogs part time and enjoy them and also my 5 kids I have half time would also give lots of love. I work from home managing AirBNB’s so am available all the time basically and not stuck to a computer. I can give the dogs plenty of love and time to run and play outside. Able to pick up and drop off for an extra fee Able to bathe for an extra fee Look forward to being a dog dad to your little ones soon :) I am home almost all of the time. I raise 5 kids week on and half and my business is remote and low input. I have time to care for a dog or two with a lot of intention. I would also enjoy the company. They are welcome inside my home and out. If outside I would accompany them so I can keep an eye on them but they have plenty of room to roam and lots of smells in nature. I could take on walks as needed but I have a lot of space for them to run and throw a ball too.

“Mikaela was great with Athena and Little Bit! This is the first time a new person has interacted with our girls since we have had them. She made friends with them and judging from their reaction when I came home they looked forward to her daily visits.”

About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: I provide calm, attentive care that’s especially well-suited for small dogs who thrive on consistency, gentle handling, and close supervision. I have extensive experience caring for small dogs while their owners travel, and I focus on maintaining familiar routines to reduce stress. I’m patient, observant, and comfortable with senior dogs and those who may be a bit anxious or sensitive. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, leash manners, medications when needed, and overall comfort, and I provide thoughtful updates so owners feel confident their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I give the pets their space but make sure to always be nearby and with them for anything they might need from me! I would never want to overstep any of the pup or kitty’s boundaries

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.

About: Hey! My name is Dylan, and throughout all my years of life I have always been around dogs. My parents always had one, and as an adult I have owned and trained multiple.

My schedule is very flexible and can meet your pup's needs I can easily crate your pup when needed, I can administer medications if your dog or cat is currently taking them, and I am more than happy to follow any special instructions you may have!

About: I have a 1 year old golden doodle and her name is Hatti. Dogs and cats always love my energy around them because they can sense it. Different dogs/cats have different levels of need for food/attention/affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and mental status and make sure they are well taken care of. I’m a master’s student. My classes are mostly on Wednesdays this semester. I have plenty of time to take care of the cute little angles. My dog is a well-trained spoiled high-maintenance girl. She has to have me be there when I feed her and she makes sure I have the leash in my hand when we walk. I love that she likes my attention and affection so much.
