“Denise took care of James phenomenally and I loved the detailed updates and many photos I received of my son during my trip. I would not hesitate to book her if you need pet care!”
“Angelina dropped in to meet the kitties and go over their routine. Then she nailed it! She handled medication twice a day, refrigerated food, and they lived having her play with them. Angelina is a great communicator and a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Catherine was terrific with our cats. She came over before the stay to meet our boys and learn their schedule. Shadow is usually stand off-ish but took to her right off. He gets insulin shots twice a day and Catherine handled that perfectly. We have already booked her for our next trip.”
“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cat was calm and well cared for when I returned. Everything was neat and orderly in my house. She brought all my mail and packages inside as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.”
“Marie was a good sitter for our needs. She was available for a meet and greet beforehand which was beneficial. I would highly recommend her for others and will look forward to her pet sitting again.”
About: We have taken care of multiple dogs at a time and grew up with a dogs as well. We have a cat Jen adopted four years ago as well. Jen currently works from home and can work from anywhere there is wifi. Our cat can stay at home and is pretty independent so we can focus on your pets while you’re away. We will follow whatever instructions that are left. We take great care in making the environment as normal for the pets as possible and will leave your home in the same, if not better shape than when you left it.
“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”
“Mckayla did an amazing job watching my cat, Panda! She sent lots of pictures, played with her, and gave clear updates that made me feel at ease while I was on my cruise. Thank you again!”
“I’m so grateful for Coral’s careful and loving attention to my two kitties - I felt assured they were in great hands when I went out of town for the first time ever since adopting them. Loved the pictures and the updates.”
“Outstanding sitter! Generous with her time and so sweet to our babies! We were away when a hurricane hit and she was there for our wee ones and kept us updated! Thank you Fran!”
“Alysia helped us tremendously with pets when we were away on the trip. She kept them fed and walked and also provided extra care for them. Our dog Margo loved snuggles and ear massages. :) Alysia also sent regular photo updates to us which was cute and calming. Thanks!”
“I would absolutely recommend Kim. She is a lovely person. My cat isn’t stressed at all when I travel 10 days for work and come back. Kim sends me pictures at every drop in. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- it’s a true passion that shapes who I am. From growing up with my own dog and regularly helping neighbors with walks, feeding, and playtime, to currently sharing my home with my energetic Aussiedoodle, Bodhie, I’ve built hands-on experience that lets me adapt quickly to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m equally comfortable with cats, having lived with them for years and handled everything from daily feeding and interactive play to litter box care and administering medication when needed. For small animals, I grew up with hamsters and have been a dedicated guinea pig mom to three wonderful piggies in my adult life, so I know exactly how to provide the specialized care, fresh veggies, and gentle handling these little ones thrive on. I’m actively working with my own high-energy young dog on leash skills and calm behavior around distractions, so I’m comfortable supporting your pet’s training routines too. What truly sets me apart is my deep respect and individualized attention for every animal I care for- I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s tailoring the perfect walk for your dog, giving your cat those essential snuggles, maintaining a consistent routine for your senior pet, or ensuring your small animal gets enrichment and the right diet, I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on a leave of absence from my job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I will be able to give your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Your pet won’t just get the basics- they’ll get quality time, belly rubs, and lots of love! I make it a priority to maintain a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment. I know how important routines are, so I closely follow your instructions- from feeding and medication to walk schedules and favorite toys or games. I take time to build trust with your pet, always moving at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also respect your home just as much as I respect your pets- keeping things tidy, secure, and treating your space with care. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands and receiving plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re gone.
“Johanna was great! She accommodated my last-minute request when my other sitter fell through, and she kept me updated the entire time. I really appreciated her abundant communication!”

Ellenton cat parents share their Rover experiences
Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.
