“Angelina was amazing with our three pups, always on time and gave them all the love they needed while we were away. Would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”

“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.”


“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 highly recommend Denise to care for your sweet pup! She was very communicative throughout our trip. She showed up on time for every drop in visit. Our fur baby was happy and healthy when we returned.”


About: I grew up with always having and taking care of 2+ dogs in my house. Since I always had many dogs in the house, I was asked to dog sit frequently, as well. This included over night stays, administering medications and food, potty breaks, and walks! I absolutely adore dogs and their different personalities. I I adopted a Jack Russel Mix that is now about a year old. She is my best friend. I would love to put my love for dogs towards any pups that might need some care while their parents are out and about. I recently just graduated from college and am starting a Master’s program shortly. I am free mornings and afternoons for drop-in visits and walks for your pup. I can easily walk dogs on a in a designated area or let them roam in a fenced backyard. I can crate them/make sure they are safe and secure before I leave.
“! Brooke did an excellent job walking and feeding my dog! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my pup was well cared for. Communication was a breeze. Btooke responded quickly to texts and kept me updated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”


“Dylan is a great dog sitter. I have a little dog what does not like many people and though she was still scared she warmed up to Dylan and let him walk her. He provided great notes and daily updates. I am very hesitant with who I let watch my dogs but I will for sure be using Dylan in the future.”

“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 great! Always kept me in the loop on how things were going. There was a minor issue in my apartment while I was away and she went above and beyond to make sure my pets were okay. I will definitely use her over and over. 10 stars if I could!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood, and every summer I eagerly took on pet-sitting opportunities for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages…from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident while you're away.🩷 I work full time during the week so I will be available for evening walks / drop-ins and open for weekend play. Peace of mind for you & tail wags for them! For dog walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and home access. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your dog's safety. During drop-ins, I provide attentive care, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁 I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same. I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.
“Catherine is FANTASTIC! Levi fell in love immediately! She stayed and played with him. Fed him and loved on him. He was so relaxed when we got home. Priceless. Thank you Catherine!!”


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.

Ellenton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kristi was so wonderful with our dogs! We were worried about our 9 month old Rottie because he had never been cared for by anyone other than family, but Kristi made an extra meet and greet visit to make sure Goose was comfortable with her before we left. During the visit she went above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy. We are so glad we have found her to take care of our dogs when we are in need!

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.
Frequent flier here! Morgan is so sweet and easy to communicate with, I always feel comfortable leaving my old girl Lucy with her. As Lucy gets older and more difficult to manage, Morgan continues to be patient with her and give her the love she needs while I'm away. I would recommend her to anyone with pet sitting needs in a heartbeat!
