“Ingrid is the BEST!! She went over and beyond taking care of my Lucy for a whole week! Lucy loved her. I got updates and pictures every day. I had a worry-free vacation. My house was spotless when I got home. She was amazing. I will definitely be using her again!”


“Eva is a reliable, committed and efficient dog caregiver and house sitter. We have three male dogs over 100 pounds each and as soon as Eva came over to meet them, I knew she was a perfect match for our boys. She is compassionate about animals and her love and experience show in the attentive care that she provides. Eva sent several pictures and kept us updated throughout our absence. I highly recommend Eva to anyone seeking a dependable and caring sitter for their pets. I am very happy and worry free knowing she is with our boys when we are away.”

“Jamie was amazing! She took wonderful care of our 3 fur-babies. She also went above and beyond and vacuumed and took exceptional care of our home! We would definitely love to book with her again ❤️”

“What can I say…if I could give Lynda 10 stars ⭐️ I absolutely would!!! She went above and beyond with taking care of my girl, Cinnamon and my home for a week! She kept in contact with me every day and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Lynda to take care of your fur kids and your home. Thank you Lynda and Rover for a great experience and for easing my mind!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first experience with a sitter, so I was nervous. She exceeded all of my expectations. Jessica answered all of my questions, was here when she said she would be, played with Bear, took him on nice long walks, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Thank you so much! We will absolutely have Jessica sit for us again.”

“Patty was great with our boy Sam. She was patient with him which helped a lot because he is so skittish and afraid of everything. We appreciate that she was willing to sit on short notice and have already asked her to sit when we go away in August. We definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats. I enjoy being around them and loving them. I’m reliable and dependable. I listen to the owners and their instructions on the care of their fur babies. We are retired and have a fenced yard to keep your fur babies safe as possible. We have a 3 year old golden retriever and we throughly enjoy playing and watching her have a little freedom in our yard I’m able to do care at your home. I’m dependable and reliable. We currently own a 3 year Golden Retriever who we love immensely. I will care for your fur baby like I do my own
“This was the first time I had a sitter in my home. I was anxious but I knew my sweet dog, Pepper, would be more comfortable and easy at home. Pepper was very comfortable even sleeping in bed with Samantha. Plants were watered and she even made my bed for me as I was arriving home late. I have already booked her again. I would have preferred more communication and pics especially on that first day.”

About: I grew up around a large variety of animals, including (but not limited to) many large dogs, many small dogs, a ton of cats, and lizards! I've been in charge of taking care of animals for as long as I can remember with my first dog. I've been pet sitting for neighbors and family since I was old enough to be home alone. I absolutely adore all animals and caring for them! I'm good at giving medicine to dogs in particular, and I'm decent at giving it to cats. I have no experience administering medication to other types of animals. I have vast experience with dogs and cats, and while I only have some experience with other types of pet, I am very good at following precise care instructions. My schedule is currently open besides 12/24/25-12/25/25, 12/31/25-01/01/26, and 1/19/26-1/23/26. I may have more restrictions in late January to early February. I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I will care for your pets based on their specific needs in your home. If you have an energetic dog, I would love to play with them! If you have a snuggly cat or dog, I can just hang out with them! I can give your pets their medications at your instruction, and will abide by any rules you have for your pets. My goal is to keep them safe and happy!

About: I bring 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, senior pet support, and puppy care. Families trust me for reliability, compassion, and skill. I have experience with working breeds, especially Belgian Malinois, and understand their need for structure, mental stimulation, and consistent training. I focus on safety, structured routines, and individualized attention to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, special needs, advanced training, or playtime, I provide consistent, loving service that gives you peace of mind. I am currently in school and have flexible availability between classes, which allows me plenty of time to care for your pet with consistency and attention. What pet doesn’t love a little attention—whether it’s a pat, belly rub, or playtime? I care for my pets as if they are true family members. That care comes with balance: while love and play are essential, boundaries and structure are just as important for most animals to thrive. My approach blends affection, routine, and respect, ensuring pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for. I carry these guiding principles in caring for animals both inside and outside my own home
About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
“Paige was great with our crazy doodles. She let us know when she had arrived, sent photos and asked great questions to be sure the crazy ones kept to their regular schedule. They were happy and healthy when we got home and the house was clean and tidy. We will definitely call again if we need dog care.”

“Connor recently took on dog sitting our 5 very active dogs for a week in our home. From our first contact, Connor was reliable, courteous and a pleasure to work with. Connor was very quick with his communication and answered all our questions. It was the first time we have left all 5 dogs with a "stranger" and we were a little worried, as they can be a handful, but he was wonderful! After our initial meeting, we felt very comfortable having Connor stay in our home and we returned to find it just as it was left. He took on the responsibility of cleaning up daily after the 5 dogs and our detailed list of instructions. We would highly recommend Connor for any of your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have been watching dogs since I was 8 years old. I have bred German Shepherd puppies most of my life with my family. Dogs are my passion and I love them lots! Would love to watch yours! Love working in The Villages as well! I work remote so I have the ability to watch dogs and even sit with them for a while and let them roam around while I work. I can stay at your house or just do drop ins if you’re more comfortable with that! Would love to talk on the phone prior and introduce myself! Thanks I would rather go to the owners house as I rent and my landlord does not allow pets right now. I do watch animals at my parents house!
Citrus Springs pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ingrid came to our house and stayed with our 81 pound dog, who thinks he is a lap dog. She sent us pictures every day and kept us up to date on how he was doing. He loved her! She played ball with him (his favorite thing) in our pool and outside. When we got home our house was immaculate. She had cleaned the house, washed the sheets and remade the bed, gave our boy a bath, picked up dog poop (which we really didn't expect. She honestly was more than we could ask for and if she came to Michigan we would have her watch him there too. Absolutely incredible!!
This was our first time using Rover since we moved to Florida. We felt good about using Katelyne after the meet & greet. It was obvious she has a love for dogs. She was prompt arriving, kept us informed throughout the day including sending pics and she gave us a synopsis when we got home. She made sure we didn’t have any questions for before she left. We will use Katelyne again, providing she is available.
