About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well. I am retired and no longer have pets but would enjoy helping out with yours. I am retired and have lots of time to play and care for your pets. I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own. I live in an apartment without a fence but I can take your dog for walks as needed and can give them lots of my time and attention if they are here. Otherwise, I can come to you for their care.

“Lauren did great with handling our sassy cat! Cheeto does not normally warm up to strangers and she was able to get him to love on her.”

“Cedric is always excited to see Kate! She makes sure his needs are met and when she sends me photos I can see that he is having a good time. How nice it is to know that when I need to be away from my fur baby for longer than I want to, I can have a very trustworthy sitter to check in on him❤️??”

“Emaleah, was fantastic! She went above and beyond caring for my pets, ensuring they were comfortable and entertained. I will definitely be going back to Emaleah in the future!”

About: Hi my name is Dana! I’m married, no kids and a dog mama to Sami. Our husky Kya sadly crossed the rainbow bridge recently at age 12. I work from home as a nurse. I’m an avid runner, love the outdoors and I am active in my community both professionally and personally! I pride myself in being a people and animal person! I’m passionate about animals and would love to share the LOVE I have for my pup Sami with your fur baby! I think it is so important to be sure your pup or cat gets the attention they deserve each and every single day! This is one thing I aim to do for my own pup! One of favorite saysings is “If my dog can’t go then I’m not going”! If a trustworthy, energetic and active animal lover is what you are looking for....... then I’m your favorite pet caregiver. I am a stay home dog mama and work from home full time as a nurse. My day revolves around my pups needs from Dawn to dusk I have a fenced in yard with a slider door to easily access the play area. I have a fun, loving 3 year old pup Sami to keep your pup good company

About: YOU CAN USE THE $20 OFF COUPON if this is your first time using Rover. (Use code SUSANJ93758) Even if you choose another sitter, you can use this coupon! We hope you will choose us but if someone else is a better fit then this is a gift for you anyway! I will keep your cat or dog in my home for a few hours, days, weeks or months; whatever you need. We love animals! Your baby will be loved on and played with (exercised). I have an Intro to Vet Tech Certificate and used to be a groomer. Your pet will get lots of attention and be very happy with us! Read our reviews! We cater to your pet's needs and give them lots of attention and love so they aren't upset and anxious while you're away. Included with your stay of two or more days are at least two (usually closer to six) professional type pet portraits (digital files). I use a Canon EOS 50D, the last of the heavy body 15mp cameras they made. It takes excellent, high quality photos you can enlarge on your computer. I do appreciate tips! Note: If your male dog marks indoors, I can't keep him. With a puppy, an accident is on the floor, easily cleaned. A dog that marks does so on vertical surfaces, some of which are impossible to clean without residual staining, and if it isn't witnessed it would be impossible to know everywhere it happened. Thank you for understanding. (Note: IF YOU JUST WANT A PORTRAIT (you will receive at least two), you can book/pay for an overnight and bring your groomed pet just for a photo shoot and I'll text the files once payment clears.) YOU CAN USE THE $20 OFF COUPON if this is your first time using Rover. (Use code SUSANJ93758) I stay at home 5 days per week (college 2 classes-2 days); disabled/use a cane. My husband works 7 minutes away in case of any emergency and is a volunteer firefighter who runs for exercise and would love to bring your dog along! I have cat trees and perches, toys, an extra room and LOVE so if you need someone who will take good care of your baby you can call on me. Reference (name/phone #) from previous customer available. I can train your dog to speak on command in 1-2 weeks; will start it and show you how (it's not hard!) if the stay is shorter. I have trained my own dogs basic commands plus more in the past. I'm self-taught in dog training; I've read tons of books, watched many videos, even learned some service dog training. We have a 15 month old tabby cat (bottle raised) who loves to play with cats and dogs and has been tested negative for FIV and FELV; up to date on his shots and neutered. We also have an 8 month old female Ragdoll who's spayed and has been tested negative for FIV and FELV; up to date on her shots. We would love to babysit your kitty (no intact male cats over 5 months). You will receive AT LEAST one photo per day via text with an update on how your fur baby's doing. I am also a talented amateur photographer so you'll have expressive fun pics of your fur baby. You'll receive digital copies in texts! If you love your pics, tips are greatly needed and appreciated! Note: I may use some pics of your pet to build my photography portfolio and post here on Rover. Also offer: Full Groom with bath, blow dry, brush out & claws clipped $25. for cats and dogs. That includes trimming excess fur from the paws as needed. (Long hair cats benefit from trimming out the fur from between the paw pads; it doesn't show from the top.) If your dog stays for 7 days or more, a weekly bath is included! Note: if your pet will bite with nail clipping it won't be done! In that case, we will give a bath/blow dry. Sometimes I'll give a free trim with the bath if it's a Schnauzer or Yorkie type that needs it but will check with you first. Final note: Tips are appreciated (but not necessary)! I only mention it because most people don't realize they can, or how much more they're getting when they trust their pet to us. Although you will be receiving awesome digital photos of your baby, I will be gaining experience and shots for my portfolio, so don't feel like you have to tip; but it is really appreciated if you'd like to! What's also great is when you are happy and become a regular client! I stay at home and hubby works nearby. Lots of love and care is worth so much in this business. We don't just do the basics and then ignore your pet! We make an effort to keep your fur baby happy. They will be loved on if they let us and have us physically near them almost constantly so they won't be as anxious. Pics are provided daily. Keep your pet with us! Up to 2 at a time, only from the same home. Quality care, over the top happy pets! We especially love cats and will keep your animals safe and content.

“Whitney did a great job! Would recommend and rehire for future sitting needs.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who offers dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding — both in my home and in yours. I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of my family. I’m very responsive, flexible, and available for last-minute and short-notice bookings. My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you — and fun for your pet 🐾 Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or full-time attention while you’re away, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’m an animal lover so I have decided to do a job that involves me doing something I love. I’m currently in college to a marine biologist then to become a vet. I have been surrounded by pets growing up and I love it. I’m available anytime also I always update my calendar so you will be able to see when I’m available but please feel free to message me if you have questions. I have a dachshund she is alittle over a year old and a cat. If I can I would like to dog sit at my house so I can also attend to my dog but it is whatever you are comfortable is.

“Lori was fantastic with our puppies. Two 5 year old Labs. They loved her. We have never had a sitter and Lori was great! We had her come to our home twice a day for 5 days. She always showed up. Sending us pics helped so much. Thank you Lori and Rover!!”

About: Hello, My name is Britni and I'm a huge lover of animals! I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 chickens! 🐕🐈‍⬛️🐔 I grew up with a father that trained bloodhounds for the Walton County prison and was taught the responsibilities of caring for animals at a young age. As a child I was fascinated to witness the strong bond between man and canine, and had a deep appreciation for the entertainment, safety, and companionship these animals provided. 💗 I began volunteering with the animals at the E. O. Wilson Biophilia center in Freeport earlier this year, and it has solidified that working with animals is a passion of mine. I am currently offering services to do drop ins or take your pup on a walk! Thank you for considering me to work with your beloved pet! 🐾💞 I am currently leaving a decade long career in resturants/hospitality behind, and following my passion of working with animals! I'm very excited to start this new chapter and can be flexible! I do not offer sitting in my home, but will always ensure to be mindful and bring a sharp awareness anytime I am working with someone's beloved pet.

“Olivia has been a tremendous help! Communicates well and the dogs love her!”

About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.

“Britteny did a great job with my cat Joker. She sent pictures every day while she was here. Even made sure she turned on the heat and left the water running during that cold snap so the pipes didn't freeze. I'll certainly contact her in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give every dog. I’m very patient, dependable, and make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and each dog’s personality and needs. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and supervision, as well as older dogs who may need a calmer environment, medication reminders, or extra gentle care. I always try to make pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because pet sitting is my full-time job. I’ll be home full-time, allowing me to give pets constant attention, supervision, care, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. I provide care for pets in my home where they’ll have lots of attention, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I have a fenced-in backyard for playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions to help them feel happy and comfortable.
