I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”

About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.
“Emma did a fantastic job. Totally exceeded my expectations and did everything I asked beforehand. The daily updates she provided assured me that my cats were being taken care of. Not only does she ensure that there is food and water, she makes sure they got enough loving which means the world to me. 10/10”

Sophia F.Star Sitter
“As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father”

Morgan H.
“Morgan is one of the most kind hearted and loving people I have ever met and that love is shown in abundance towards all animals, dogs in particular. I have never met anyone else who loves dogs as much as she does.”
Craig & Karli F.
“Awesome as always!”
Carly B.
“I have two pups, Mya and Milo, that Carly always takes great care of when she watches them. Mya is a 17 year old Jindo, which if you know anything about the breed, you know they are very smart, very loyal, and can be very protective. On top of that, she also has health issues that requires medication and attention. Due to both of these things it is extremely hard to find someone both we and Mya trust to watch her when we are away, but Carly is one of those few people. She is gentle and patient with Mya, makes sure medications are given at the correct time, and sends us pictures to ease our anxiety of being away. Milo on the other hand is a Corgi who is much, MUCH easier to handle. She is equally as great with him, and I think he might like her more than us (he sure seems disappointed when we come home). All in all, she is very kind and attentive towards our dogs’ drastically different needs, and I would recommend her to anyone who is needing someone to take care of their pups — whether it’s just for walking or extended time away.”

My cat is usually shy with new people, but he warmed up to Shelley quickly, which says a lot. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, it gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy kitty and was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying at all. Thank you for being so kind, professional, and reliable!”

Eastwood Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kim always does a fantastic job taking care of my dog and cat when I’m out of town. She keeps updated with text and pictures.
Thank you Isabelle for being such an awesome sitter for my sweet Addie. She is very happy every day and in all the pics you made of her. Wishing you success in your college courses and in your career helping animals. 🐾
Evelyn did a great job with our little Lilo. We have a 10 week old French bulldog puppy and had a last-minute trip out of town and we’re very relieved to have help from Evelyn during this time. She made sure to send pictures and videos of both visits that she did today and they were very much appreciated. ❤️
Nicole was the absolute perfect fit for my pack of 4 large dogs. I only needed her for 1 shift and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. The dogs all adored her honestly, and Nicole is an angel. We will be using her again! Thank you Nicole!!
Our pup loves Christine! It was just a short visit while we were on our way home but we are booking her for several days in August and I’m happy we found her!
I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!
Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.
Christal is always so reliable and wonderful with our sweet pup! We have used her many times and are always happy with the care she provides!
Jessica was great with the cats. She followed the directions we left for her and the cats warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely recommend and rebook her for future trips.
Harmonie did a great job taking care of our cats! I reached out to her last minute and she responded right away, and was available to come the next day. She sent lots of photos and a detailed report with each visit. It was so reassuring to know that my fur babies were being so well taken care of while I was out of town!
Monica is a wonderful drop-in sitter. She updated me after every visit and I could tell when I got home attention was given. Will have her as my #1 go to when I need a sitter again.
Sam is absolutely the best. Professional down to the last detail. Will care for your pets with the same attention you would
We are repeat customers but this was her first time with our new kitties. It puts us at ease knowing she will care for and love on them in our absence.
The best sitter ever!! So responsive, lots of pictures, and I could tell my dog loved her. Wish we lived in the same city so I always had someone like her. Thank you!!!
Danielle has been doing weekly drop-in visits with my dog Toby for almost a year now. She has been a pleasure to work with and someone I can always count on. She communicates promptly, is very friendly, and gives constant updates on how the visit went. I highly recommend trusting Danielle with the care of your pets.
