“Morgan takes caring for your fur babies seriously. She stayed in contact when there were changes to visit timing, etc, sent lots of pictures, and put in the time (and quiet effort) to get our very skittish girl kitty to come out and eat. Morgan is a great resource for caring for your pets.”
“Fran was amazing … Bree was well taken care Fran was timely as she said she would be at my house at a certain time. I would absolutely use the services of Fran again she is a great pet sitter Thank you Fran”
“I highly recommend Catherine. She has taken care of our cats several times while we have traveled. She is very trustworthy, caring and loving towards our cats. And they love her too! If you are looking for a great pet sitter, Catherine is the one for you!”
“She was great! I have four cats, one of which needs liquid medication twice a day, and she was really great watching all of them! Two of them have to be constantly separated, and she didn’t let them get to each other, and she was very communicative. I got photos every day, and all of them showed my cats looking happy and engaged. They were happy to see me when I got home, but didn’t look scared, upset or neglected at all (which had happened before). I definitely recommended her to look after your kitties.”
About: I treat all animals like my own always playing and walking them pet them all day so they know they are always loved and happy. I am currently working part time but I can do any time that I am not working or after that but barely getting hours right now. I have a fenced yard 2 dogs 4 cats but the cats like being outside now always feed them play with and hug them they are always loved.
“Heidi was the Best! She was able to help us on short notice. She kept us updated with photos and texts. It was so nice to feel relaxed while we were away knowing our babies were well taken care of! She even vacuumed the kitty hair before we returned! I recommend her highly!”
“Stacia and her family are super nice. She and her kids made sure my cats experience was beyond. They spoiled her so much I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home :) I did not worry for a second and had a wonderful (much needed) vacation. I recommend Stacia 150%!!”
About: I offer dependable and loving care during drop-in visits, making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or giving meds, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who need a gentler touch. I take my time during each visit — no rushed check-ins — and I always send detailed updates and cute photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands I am a work from home dog and cat mom. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the visits to ensure each pet gets my full attention and care. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to being there when your pet needs me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy — it never feels like a chore, and I love building bonds with each pet I care for. I work from home, so my pets get lots of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. My home has a fenced-in backyard and a doggie door, so pups can go in and out as they please — always with safety in mind. During Florida’s hot summers, I make sure they don’t spend too much time outside, offering plenty of water, indoor cooling, and of course, treats to keep them happy and comfortable! My pets are a 4.5 year old Coonhound mix, who still has lots of puppy energy and an 8 year old Black Lab mix, who is more calm, but loves to be cuddled and petted.
About: I have experience with dogs,cats reptiles and birds. I have also been known to house the occasional pig,ferret and once a raccoon. But honestly probably wouldn't do a raccoon again. I am available anytime and free all day. I do go out of town and take family trips as often as we can but those are all planned out I have a front and back yard, the from is a courtyard with grass and a very playful neighbor dog if yours want to play and only at your discretion. My back yard is shell and patio. I live in a fenced church area but my yard is not fenced. But your loved one is allowed to be outside and free to run and play. I have carpet free and smoke free home but not kid free. They also love animals and will respect any rules or wishes you may have .
“Michele was such a great sitter/caregiver for our kitty, Isabelle. She kept in touch and sent pictures. She made an exception for us as we were out of her area which we really appreciate! We highly recommend her to take care of your kitty kids.”
About: I love to bring out the puppy in dogs. I potty trained my own puppy at 4 months old and he’s never had an accident since I have a very flexible schedule and can shift accordingly to your pets needs. Depending on the schedule I can come very early in the morning to give them a long walk before it gets too hot and in the evening when it cools down. Every pet is different, from their personality, to needs, and preferences. If there is a set of instructions for their care, I will follow it just the same whether in my own home or a clients home.
“Mikaila is absolutely fantastic! She did daily check ins on our cat while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was diligent with her Rover cards, and took amazing care of our little boy. She also took care of our mail and kept an eye on our house. I have total trust in her, and can't thank her enough for her help. We will surely use her again in the future!”

“Yndii is an incredibly caring human being. She was very reliable, always showing up on time. She was attentive to Scout and Rufus’ needs and made sure they always had what they needed- whether it was playing with them, taking them for a walk, or letting them out. She now has her own dog and it’s wonderful to see her become a loving dog mom. She is vegan because of how deeply she cares for animals. I can confidently say she loves animals like they’re her children and treats them as such. I think she would make a great addition to rover!”
