“Kelly is so fantastic!! My pups love her and she is so reliable as a sitter. She always sends me pics of my babies when we’re away and she takes such good care of them. I always know my pups are well loved when she’s caring for them.”

“Taylor is the best. She stayed at our home and took care of our dog who was in love with her. We felt completely relaxed and trusted her completly. We do hope she can spend more time with our dog in the near future.”

“Corey was absolutely amazing with George and Bosun! From the moment we met him, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that George and Bosun were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed, content dogs meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable Rover sitter!”

“Andrea C. was an absolutely wonderful house- and dog-sitter for our girls, Tootsie-Belle and Tessie-Belle. She kept them on their feeding, play, and snacking schedule so they stayed happy and comfortable throughout. Andrea sent daily reports with updates and photos, and even reached out with a question to make sure she was doing everything exactly as we wanted. When we returned, the house was sparkling clean. Responsible, attentive, and caring—highly recommended!”

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

“Carol is an awesome person. She took such great care of our little ole lady and understands pet anxieties. We were able to enjoy our trip worry free because we knew Carol was taking great care of our pitty. We will definitely be requesting Carol for any future needs.”

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.

“Toni did a great job with Obie. Very diligent and attentive. She's a blessing to any animal momma!”

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 have a genuine passion for animals and hope to become a veterinarian in the future. I currently work with dogs, which has given me hands-on experience understanding their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different ages and energy levels, and I’m always willing to give extra attention to young, senior, or nervous pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for regular visits and can work around your pet’s feeding, playtime, and care needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to giving each pet the attention they deserve. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet I care for. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their space clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured. I’m patient and attentive with every animal and always treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.

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 work remotely, which enables me to do regular check-ins and play breaks with boarded cats. I send regular updates with photos to my clients. I have one cat of my own, and offer a private room, if needed, for boarded cats who aren't comfortable around unfamiliar cats. I will follow all of the pet owners requirements, and additionally keep an eye on any behavior or health changes.

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: What sets me apart is the personal attention, patience, and genuine love I give every pet in my care. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs extra playtime and exercise, a calm companion, puppy potty breaks and basic routine reinforcement, or gentle care for a senior pet, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning and evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting is something I genuinely look forward to—not just another job. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets have fresh water, appropriate meals, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also careful about doors, gates, leashes, medications, and anything else that could affect their safety. For senior pets, puppies, or pets with special routines, I’m happy to provide extra attention and follow detailed instructions. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“Kayla was wonderful with our dog, Sister. Sister is very nervous and anxious around new people, but Kayla quickly developed her trust. She also provided Sister with medicine and was highly competent. We look forward to asking Kayla to keep Sister again 🐾”

“Gracia is wonderful! This was our first time having someone stay with our dogs that they (and us) didn’t know prior and it worked out great. Our dogs took an immediate shine to Gracia and she took excellent care of them. 10 out of 10 would recommend her and we will definitely be hiring her again!”
