About: I’m very good with animals, I have 5 pets of my own including cats and dogs and I also just love animals and want to be around them as much as I can! Right now I’m completely free for the summer and so I would be available to come and take care of them and am even willing to stay over nights but I still live at home so it would have to be at a clients house. I love to play with pets, cuddle or anything else that the specific pet might need. I’m pretty flexible and I’ve dealt with the gross stuff so that doesn’t bother me either.
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
About: I’ve been a pet owner since childhood, and known from a young age how much responsibility caring for a dog is, and how important it is for their well-being. I love getting to know other dogs personalities, because each one is so interesting! Not only can I teach them what I know, they can teach me as well. I've had multiple dog-sitting gigs from family and friends, but I'm ready to expand to meet new dogs! I recently finished my graduate program and waiting to start my new job. If I am not traveling, I am usually available any days of the week for walks and dog sitting! I have a yellow lab of my own that lights up when meeting new dogs. I have a fenced in backyard with grass and trees for dogs to play with each other or with me! I can always help dogs released some energy with fetch, or even more with a long walk (at least as long as they can handle).
“My adorable Kitten absolutely loved Alyssa as her caretaker when I was gone for two weeks. I can tell they loved each other and became best of friends right from the start. That means the most, it assures me that my fur baby is happy and safe with Alyssa. She did an amazing job entertaining Kitten and updating me with lots of photos! I will be using Alyssa again in the near future and would highly recommend her for your pets.”
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”
“Hannah is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She loved on our teething 3 month old Aussie with so much grace. She sends lots of updates which is great for us because we always feel bad leaving her. Thank you Hannah for your patience and time! We will be a repeat customer for sure!”
About: Tons of pet experience from family, friends and personal pets with the ability to form close connections and love for each and every pet! I have had over 7 different types of pets in my life. Currently, I am a full-time online student earning my degree. I do occasionally pet and baby sitting! I am flexible and have availability weekly. I would love to keep your pets at their home in the environment they are familiar with. I do have a fenced in yard and a pup myself.
“Rachel made me feel so at ease the whole time I was out of town! My cat looked so happy in the pictures she sent that I didn’t feel worried about her at all. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you Rachel!”
“Rachelle absolutely SAVED us when our sitter backed out when we were already out of town! I booked her with about 5 hours of notice. She followed every direction, cleaned up a pee mess, showed up early and stayed a bit longer to play. She sent pictures and videos. She made my dogs and my day! Book her- you will be so thankful you did!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I have hands-on experience fostering dogs, volunteering in animal shelters, and caring for pets with a variety of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I also attended school to become a veterinary technician before ultimately choosing a different career path, which gave me valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. As a foster parent and volunteer, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to shy rescue dogs who need extra patience and understanding. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you complete peace of mind. I will treat your pets as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, you can count on me to provide the care and attention they deserve💕🐾 I’m a teacher and have my summers off! I would absolutely love to spend my time off caring for your animals. I have open availability to be there for you and your animal whenever you need me. I absolutely love caring for pets and treat every animal like my own. My goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while providing the same level of attention and routine they’re used to. I respect your space and routines completely. I’ll follow your detailed instructions for feeding, walks, play, litter boxes, or any other needs. I send daily photo/text updates so you can see how your pet is doing and relax knowing they’re well cared for. I’m flexible, responsive, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel confident and cared for💕
“Destiny was great. She responded fast and always checked in with us with any questions and updates about our dogs. She sent us pictures each time she took care of our two dogs. I highly recommend Destiny and we'll be sure to book her again next time if she's available.”

“Edith arrived promptly with a warm smile and a gentle voice to greet Louie. She clearly knows how to handle an excitable dog. Her experience and calm manner did the trick so he could enjoy her company on their walk. We are so thankful to have met and hired her!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing! She was so easy to communicate with and she sent lots of photos. It was so nice to be able to leave for the day and know that our pup was getting taken care of.”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now.

Florence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She was on time with their visits and even stayed over extra to make sure they got extra care. All feedings and potty times went as scheduled. My dog Maisey is very shy and she even got her to cuddle and play with her! My cat hides and she even managed to get him out on the last day she visited my home. If your looking for someone to sit with a pet that is people shy should give her a try.
Thanks for everything this last week! You’ve been amazing. Thanks for all the pictures and the toys you left for them. You really didn’t have to do that but it’s much appreciated! I’m sure the toy truck was just a result of some anxiety from being left home alone. I hate leaving them home like that but having someone like you stop by sure helps. And it looks like Petey warmed up to you pretty well!
Laura has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She does weekend check-ins and walks for us, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better. My dog can be a little more challenging than most, but Laura is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with him. She really takes the time to understand his personality and needs instead of just going through the motions. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. She goes above and beyond every time.
