Heather will be our go-to cat sitter from here on out. Right after moving to St. Augustine, we had a pre planned wedding in Europe for 2 weeks. Heather did everything we asked and so much more, even watering our plants and adding to the fish tank reservoir, which was beyond appreciated—our home has a lot of life in it! She sent photos of both of our babies each visit, gave a good summary of how they’re doing and how the visit went, and even swept up for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. On the last day, one of our babies locked herself in the restroom, and as soon as I saw it on camera, I texted Heather and she was at the house within 15 minutes. Look no further—Heather is the best!!

Sydney was great! Very communicative, on time, and went above and beyond to get our shy cat to warm up to her and play. Will definitely book her again!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has owned pets my entire life and truly understands how much they mean to a family. I currently have two dogs of my own-a sweet cockapoo named Tank and a friendly golden retriever named Simba-so I'm very comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Professionally, I've been a real estate and property management brokerage owner for nearly two decades, entrusted with managing and protecting my clients' biggest investments. That experience has made me dependable, detail-oriented, and highly trustworthy. I recently moved to Florida to be closer to family and am now partially retired. I'm excited to take on opportunities that bring me joy while maintaining some income-especially roles where I can care for pets and give them the love and attention they deserve. I would treat your home and your animals with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I prioritize consistency and reliability for every visit. I typically offer morning, midday, and evening drop-ins depending on your pet’s needs and your preferred schedule. I’m flexible and can accommodate set feeding times, litter box cleanings, playtime, and medication routines. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get calm, unhurried attention during each visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in or more involved care, I make sure your pet's routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain in a familiar, comfortable environment with minimal stress. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I take safety and trust seriously and treat every home with respect, keeping doors secure, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring your pet is always safe during my visits. My goal is to create a calm, reliable presence for your pet while you’re away, giving them consistent care and you peace of mind knowing both your pet and home are in responsible hands.

About: I have worked at a doggy boarding and daycare facility for eight years. I have been managing for three of those eight years. I have cared for numerous breeds and dogs of all ages. I do have a soft spot for elderly dogs, but do love walking and playing with younger, energetic dogs as well. As a result of my years of experience, I am capable of giving all forms of medication, making meals (dry, canned, homemade, raw, etc), and I have worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I have started this little business because I have seen how much happier pets are when they are cozy at home compared to a boarding facility, especially if they are prone to anxiety when they are away from home. I, myself, own a corgi named Clancy. He is a very happy little boy. I am off from my other job from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday. I have appointments every other Thursday from 11 to 1:30, but aside from that, I'm free. Walking and drop-ins work best for my schedule as they are the most flexible jobs offered here. I will walk your dogs wherever you feel comfortable. If they have a beloved route, I will keep them on it. During drop-ins, I will adhere to any instructions you have. At my place of work, I follow food and care instructions (that always vary) daily.

Briana was super attentive with my cats, one of which requires daily SubQ fluids! She gave detailed notes for each visit, and plenty of pictures (my favorite part). My cats were well taken care of! I could not recommend her more.

About: Hi, I’m Catie! I work full-time from home and love spending my free time outdoors with animals whenever I can. My family and friends joke that I “disappear” in public because I’ll stop to greet every dog I see or, if I’m out on a run, I’ll randomly pause just to say hi to cats sitting outside along the way. Being active and around pets is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes pet care a natural fit for me. I take care instructions seriously and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, stays on their normal routine, and is happy and well cared for. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and those with special health needs. I’m comfortable with senior care, special diets, and helping animals who need extra patience to warm up. I also have volunteer experience with a rescue organization, along with hands-on experience administering medications and managing special diets. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature to me, and I understand how important cleanliness and consistency are for cats. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to adjust my availability as needed. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and clear communication. I’m basically that person who can’t resist taking pictures of photogenic pets, so expect a lot of cute photo spam too. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own and am used to keeping up with schedules, routines, and all the day-to-day care that comes with them. Since I work from home, I also have the flexibility to fit visits into my day more easily than someone with a more structured work schedule. I’m very intuitive with animals and usually pick up quickly on their moods, comfort levels, and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow their usual routine as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box care, and any other instructions. I also pay close attention to behavior and comfort to make sure they’re getting the care and attention they need while their favorite human is away.

Willy Woo took a liking to Renee immediately during the meet and greet . He looked extremely content in the pictures and I was glad that he showed up for his “photo shoot” and his cookies,. Renee was also able to do the outdoor drop ins during the times requested and followed all of the instructions to a T. Thank you so much for taking care of Willie Woo, Paula.

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

About: I’ve volunteered several summers in row washing kennels and food bowls playing with the kittens and post them on social media to help get them adopted.

Kailani always enjoys her Cheyenne visits. Cheyenne really takes time to care and play with Kailani. I really appreciate that. I worked at an ER 12.5 hours and felt good knowing Kailani was in Cheyenne’s care. The pictures and updates I receive are welcomed and much appreciated. Thank you Cheyenne! Kailani will be excited to see you again soon!

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
