Chloe watched my 2 kitty babies while I was out of town and she was absolutely incredible! They’re usually really shy and hide but they warmed up to her right away. She always fed them on time and took the time to give them extra pets and treats. She’s super communicative and very friendly and professional. Highly recommend and will definitely be hiring her again!!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the first person my parents’ friends trusted to watch their dogs, and that hasn’t changed as an adult—I’m still the friend who’s always excited to dog-sit. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My family currently has a mix of breeds, including French Bulldogs, a Bernese Mountain Dog/St. Bernard mix, and a Bernese–Mini Poodle–Swiss mix, so I’m used to both high-energy playtime and calmer, structured care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. My main availability is weekends and Friday nights. I work 9:00–5:30 on weekdays but am happy to help with morning or evening care when needed. I focus on providing a calm, relaxing environment and building trust with every dog I care for. I like to take time getting to know each dog and letting them settle in at their own pace. Once we’re both comfortable, we spend time hanging out, playing, and going for walks based on their energy level and routine.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 12 and want a dog of my own someday. My family and friends over the years have trusted me to walk/feed/play with their dogs when they are away. I have also volunteered at animal shelters in TN to tend to dogs in need and to give them love while they wait for their forever home. As far as cats go I was raised around cats and have a cat of my own. I’m currently working a full time job but with open weekends when I’m not traveling myself! Tuesday-Thursday I can do dog walks in the early morning or evening. On Mondays and Fridays I can check in whenever needed. On the weekends I am available whenever you need me. When all else fails just message me and we can work something out my work is flexible:) I love to play with animals or just hangout/chill with them based on their personality and your preference. I’m respectful of their space and play within their rules whether that’s fetch, tug of war, or with their feather cat toy etc. making sure they are comfortable and safe while their best friend is away.

About: Caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. I love spending time with animals, whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block, playing fetch at the park, or giving them plenty of pets/belly rubs at home. Growing up with dogs, and gaining experience with a variety of dogs (&cats!) since then, has made me confident and attentive in providing personalized care. I've also had the pleasure of regularly volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay where I walk, play, and give lots of love to dogs in need. From energetic pups to more relaxed seniors, I've gotten to know the different needs and personalities of many dogs. With me, your pet is guaranteed to be treated like family! I have a flexible schedule and work different hours each day, which allows me to accommodate pets with varying needs. I am able to provide care for your pet before work or during the late afternoons and evenings once I'm off. I also am off on Friday's which gives me extra availability to spend with your pet. I'm happy to work around your pet's needs and adjust to a schedule that works for you. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure environment at all times, whether at home or during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet's care. I'm a responsible and trustworthy sitter, and I always treat each pet as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands.

Danni is an excellent cat sitter! I was so impressed by her diligent care for my kitties. She always sent detailed updates and lots of pictures. My babies were happy to have her company because she gave them lots of love and play time. I was especially relieved to find someone who could be a reliable and trustworthy sitter for my diabetic cat. I can't recommend her enough!

Sophia is amazing!! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Oreo. Oreo is a loving cat also and looked forward to Sophia’s daily visits. He would start meowing before she could even open the door. She cleaned up his litter that he tracked through the house and ensured he got a full 30 minutes of playtime. She also checked that he had fresh water daily. I would definitely use her again if I’m out of town.

Bekah was a star sitter!! The best we've had so far. You could tell she really cared for Diesel and spent her time playing with him and giving him so much love during her visit. She followed everything I had asked her to do & more. She cleaned up after Diesel and made sure he had everything he needed. She locked up afterwards and made sure Diesel was set before leaving. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Hoping to hire her again!

About: Hi everyone, My names Ellana! Im currently 20 years old and absolutely adore animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have a frenchie of my own back in MN! Being away from home can be tough at times but spending time with animals is really an escape for me. I love all dogs from big to small, I do have a little bias for all breeds of bulldogs though, they are my fav! I am currently looking into going into canine physical therapy as a full time role for my future:) I’d love to help out as needed so please send me a message! I am a very active student so I love being able to give dogs the time outside that they need. That being said I am always willing to stay in for some cuddles. I have weekends off from all class and job requirements so I like to fill those times with some furry friends! I have my own room and plenty of space and capacity to take dogs on adventures via car or walk! I love spoiling pups when they are with me.

I could not have wished for a better person to take care of my Sasha . AJ was punctual and consistent . He gave me the blow by blow details of each visit with my girl . I was out of the country and knowing AJ was taking care of Sasha gave me piece of mind . Sasha loved him from their first visit ! I won’t hesitate to take another trip thanks to AJ. He is stuck with us lol

I needed Alina’s help with three drop in visits in one day for my two dogs. When I got home it was clear they were well cared for and happy! All of the visit pictures were of my two boys getting to play, getting scratches, and enjoying themselves. One of my dogs is a senior who needs medication and she was able to administer that too. Alina was very communicative throughout the day and let me know what my dogs were up to! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Alina’s service again. She is incredible and I’m so happy to have found her through Rover!

This was Allison's first time caring for our fur family and she did a great job. We had a very positive experience with her from our initial meet and greet to the end of care. Allison worked her magic with our girl who is terrified of new people. She warmed up to Allison on the first visit. This has never happened before. Our feline boy also felt very comfortable with Allison. She was very loving and patient, showed up on time, communicated well keeping us updated with each visit and followed my detailed care instructions very well. We will definitely use Allison's services again.
