Dani and her husband were wonderful hosts -- great with their own dogs, and great with ours. Our dog got lots of exercise and tennis-ball chasing, and as much of a vacation as we did. Highly recommended!

Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old, including dogs with anxious and sensitive temperaments. I provide patient, loving, attentive, and comforting care. I currently work almost entirely from home, so am available for a wonderful boarding vacation for your pup! My husband is home much of the time, too, and would be more than happy to give your dog attention! I have a nice, fenced in yard for your dog to enjoy, and 2 friendly poodles of my own who would delight in company. I can set up a portable play pen if needed in a designated area, should your dog need some space.

Becky was WONDERFUL with Milo. It was our first time leaving Milo with a sitter through Rover and I can’t express enough how great our experience was. Becky sent us photos of Milo everyday which we loved. She took him to the park everyday to get exercise. He was so happy staying with her and we will definitely be using Becky again when we go out of town. Thank you Becky for taking care of Milo & loving him as much as we do!!

Jenn were so AMAZING & SO patient with Hope. Due to possible past abuse/neglect when she was 1st born, Hope is a super skittish Bichon who tends to be anxious around even her family at times, let alone new people. They took phenomenal care of our pup & thru trial & error figured out how to make her the most comfortable & ultimately less anxious over time, which definitely put our mind at ease over Thanksgiving. They took her on walks, sent Hope pics & updates, not to mention, slowly introduced her to their bigger dog, Lola. They also did an excellent job w/ some special need concerns consisting of taking good care of Hope’s tail that has a hot spot on it. She had to wear a cone at times so she didn’t nibble & lick her hot spot. They took off her cone & watched her closely to give her a break (when needed), yet made sure to keep a close eye on her, so she didn’t chase her tender tail without the cone on. They were very flexible on changing dates for us, to add on a day extension w/ no issues. Plus, they met us 1/2 way, since we live an hour from their home, which was so nice. Very accommodating. We would not hesitate to ask Jenn & Peter to care for Hope again in the future! And hope to have them watch our pup possibly at the end of December to beginning of January. EXCELLENT CARE‼️ ? ? ?

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. My schedule is busiest Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, but I’m available the rest of the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability and can provide flexible scheduling throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and keep communication clear and reliable. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, feeding, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, closely supervise pets, and make safety my top priority at all times. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats and some Horses for as long as I can remember. I am the person who seeks out the family pet to hang out with instead of the adults :) I raised cocker spaniels in California for a few years. (2 litters) Both my Cocker Spaniels lived to 17 years old! I now have an 11 year old Golden who is the love of my life, I have been giving him CBD for 4 years, and he still acts like a teenager. My mini Golden is a Rescue. She has really come a long way in the 2 years that I have had her. She is the queen of the house now. I love ever minute of it. I am currently not working and would love to just pet sit for a living instead of seeking anything else. I live in Hernando Beach and can either visit your home, or stay at your home. Or I can bring your fur baby to my home. I have two golden retrievers. I can even set up your pet in the lower level (where I would also stay) if your fur baby needs to be away from my two. I have a fenced yard, multiple dog doors, and we love walks! Also lots of beds and couches to snuggle up on! We live on the water and the pups can stick there paws in the water if they would like.

I cannot say enough good things about Tina. When I say that she treated Bernie like her own, I truly mean it! She went above and beyond to spoil our boy and make sure he was loved on at all times. She had great communication with me during the 9 days we were on vacation. His belly was upset bc of separation anxiety and she let me know and offered to pick up anything from the vet that they prescribed. Tina also has the sweetest golden retriever, Duke, that played with Bernie and I think really helped with his anxiety. Bernie was Tina’s shadow during those 9 days and followed her everywhere. That’s how I know he was feeling at ease and found “his person” while we were away. She also really took into consideration the things I was worried about when leaving Bernie, like him destroying and eating toys. She put the toy bin up (poor Duke!) and made sure to watch him when he had toys. I could write pages of how Tina and her family made Bernie part of their family - but just book with her and see for yourself! I won’t use anyone else again.
