About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every visit the same. I’m patient, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and spending quality time with pets throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special routines. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: Hi! My name is Cheyenne and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've cared for all sorts of pets over the years including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, turtles, fish, lizards, hamsters, birds, etc. I currently own three dogs, two cats and one bunny rabbit. I am very comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I'll treat your pets like they're my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, snuggles or medication, I'm your girl! I am patient, attentive, caring and trustworthy and my goal is to make sure that your pets are safe, happy and comfortable while you are away. I have a full-time job where I work from 9a-5p in Hernando County. I am available anytime before or after that. Sundays and Mondays, I am completely free and available. I will work your pets into my schedule however I can. Typically, if a drop-in visit is needed Tues-Sat on my workdays, I would do one visit in the early morning and one in the evening. Sundays and Mondays, I can do between 3 and 4 drop-in visits if needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own while also following and respecting the routine set by their parents. Depending on what is requested, I can provide fresh food and water for your pets, walks, snuggles, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm respectful of your pets' space and it's very important to me that they are comfortable. I am also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you're away.

“She took great care of Otis! Would book with her again anytime.”

About: I have rescued many dogs over the years, big and small, hyper and lazy, young and old. But I love them all the same. I have a 9 year old son and I own a restaurant with roughly 10 employees so looking after dogs is a WALK IN THE PARK. My schedule is very flexible! I work the majority of my hours on the weekend (FRIDAY AND SATURDAY) I am very available while my son is in school weekdays between 8am-3pm My dogs have their own room! I have a 1/3 acre fully fenced and have successfully kept the dogs from escaping many times. The cats have free rein of the house and do as they please. I have very good situational awareness in all situations. From being a parent to a dog dad I am always attentive and on the lookout for hazards. Better safe than sorry!

“Kathleen did an amazing job. Kept me up to date on daily activities.did exactly as I asked. Will definitely use her again to take care of my fur babies.”

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.

“Thank you so much for checking on my babies!! 💙”

“Jessica did an incredible job watching our cats and keeping our house in shape! When we take trips, our cats tend to decimate everything and it was great to know Jessica was not only easing our worry, but keeping our cats safe and entertained!”

About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and behaviors. I’ve been a reliable and dependable sitter for family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers by providing a safe and fun environment for all our furry friends. I currently work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm but am typically available outside of these hours. If located within citrus county I can provide drop-ins and walks during working hours on the weekdays. I have a double fenced small dog park in my area but would am also willing to travel to local dog parks for some fun in the sun for more active four-legged friends.

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.
