“A huge lifesaver. They were able to feed and visit with my gfs dog and give me peace of mind for the morning. They were very communicative and sent a great photo of him.”

“Kate was amazing!! She did everything we asked and more, she was very detailed in her reports and our cats loved her! Would definitely recommend her in the future! 😁”

“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”

“My first time using rover I was nervous bc my sheltie is not the best with strangers but she managed to befriend him and my two crazy corgis she went above and beyond taking care of my babies and even bringing in a few packages and helping with my outdoor cat I cannot recommend her enough we will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future”


“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”

“Sia was fabulous!! I highly recommend! She came and met with my boys and was so sweet with them ❤️ They took to her instantly. During her visit she made sure to send pictures and even went above and beyond with my dog, who is extra finnicky!! Your paw-babies will be in great hands with Sia 🐕🐾🐈⬛”

About: We're a couple who love animals of all shapes and sizes, especially cats and dogs! We have experience traveling around the U.S. as pet sitters, Megs currently works at SPCA Florida (an animal welfare nonprofit), and we have five incredible rescue cats of our own. We have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We also are comfortable caring for cats with a variety of needs and set-ups. We truly just love animals and want the best for each and every one! Megs currently works part-time and LJ has a flexible work-from-home job, which leaves us plenty of room for snuggles and walks and any other kind of pet care! We prioritize the health and well-being of our own cats at home, ensuring they have an enriching environment, high-quality food, a consistent schedule, plenty of attention, and as much play and exercise as they could want. We would love being a part of doing the same for your pets whether that's through drop-in visits or walks!
About: I understand each pet is unique and I aim to deliver personalized care for each furry friend. I have equine, dog, and cat experience. From bathing, feeding (with meds), walking, cleaning up after, etc. I strive to be very flexible when it comes to bookings, whether it’s a short walk or a couple days pet sitting. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I can offer early morning walks and feedings and even later walks and feedings. Can also do pet sitting throughout the week! For the clients home, I’m very respectful. I will provide their furry friends with their personalized care, walks, feeding, etc. Making sure their pet stays safe and maintaining their regular routine.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, as well as growing up with my own bunch. I frequently take care of dogs when needed! I am able to stay overnight and take care of pets as well as frequently stopping in throughout my day to day and checking in on them! I make sure to keep track of the pets and make them feel as comfortable as possible while missing their owners! I make sure to play and cuddle as much as I can.
About: I love dogs and want to give your special pup(s) a walk to get the exercise they need or any other care. My two dogs are a Chihuahua named Tex and a Chi mix named Ozy. Both are rescue dogs who I have had and cared for now for years. It is important to me to treat all creatures with respect and so I have worked on providing great care to these little friends on mine. As an owner of two smol doggos, I am always glad when they get their energy out in healthy positive ways such as walks. Single walks are great, but I would love to set up something weekly, just reach out and let me know! Thanks! I have an open and flexible schedule and would love to discuss your pets needs! We can have a meet and greet and determine a care plan together! I take great care of my dogs and make sure they get all the attention they need! I have also taken care of pets both drop in visits and having them stay with me and my boys!
About: Have my own boy lab and 2 cats that the distribution system blessed me with. (Bodie, Birdie, Betty). Any questions or additional requests, please message me. If youre looking for a repeat need, we can talk about long term rates and make up schedules. I would love some regular babes. If you have pets other than dogs and cats, let me know if I can help out. My favorite show growing up was Steve Irwin. 😂 I work from home with a flexible schedule. I do drop in visits and walks and am available weekends and holidays. I can also water plants, get mail, etc if you need! Have worked in a vets office, now work in human medicine on clinical trials. I do try to avoid walking dogs that pull a lot because of health reasons/ a lack of rotator cuffs. Anything under 50 lbs that pulls isn't a big deal, but above that is a no go. I can slip away from work for about 30 to 60 minute visits. I don't go away on weekends or holidays since my elderly parents live in Lakeland. :) I can take your babe on nice paced walks that are typically 20 min. Let me know if they need longer walks. I always prefer to discuss details of your pups typical behaviors and what I can do to make it the best/safest environment.
“We were nervous to have someone come take care of our dog while we went on vacation but Kaylee did an outstanding job. She is very reliable and texts when she is on the way. I would definitely recommend to everyone.”

“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”
