About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppies to seniors. I have been fostering cats and puppies the past 4 years while they were waiting for their forever homes. With my own dogs I worked on leash training as well as house training! I am currently in grad school at UPenn and have classes on Mondays and Thursdays. I am looking to fill my time when I am not in class and have very open availablity! I will come into your home and make sure your pets feel safe with me. I will hope to learn their personality’s and become on of their new favorite people! I will always send pictures and videos of your pets as well while I am with them!
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I currently have a Dog, two Cats, two foster Kittens, a Bunny, a Gecko, and 18 birds that I enjoy taking care of everyday. I’m available most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care. I love spending time with animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and lots of love while keeping your home clean, secure, and respected. I also have experience fostering kittens, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs.

“Chris was great! He communicated readily during the entire time we were away. We felt like our two cats were in great hands. We will definitely use Chris again when we go away.”
“David took great care of my two cats with his drop-in visits. He even brought our trash cans in for us! David communicated with me about my pets and when he was going to be late. I would definitely book him again!”
About: Caring for someone’s pet also means respecting their home and their trust — something I take very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm, and I make it a priority to ensure both pets and owners feel completely comfortable while I’m in their care. I’ve spent years caring for and working hands-on with dogs of different breeds, energy levels, and personalities, and I’m confident handling everything from daily routines to reinforcing good behavior. I’m patient, consistent, and always focused on safety, structure, and positive interactions. Whether I’m stopping in for a walk, providing overnight care, or house sitting, I follow instructions closely and keep pets on their regular schedule so they feel secure and stress-free. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own — and I’m always happy to provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work a remote part-time job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and flexibility to pet care. I’m available essentially every weekdays and fully available on weekends for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and quality one-on-one time with your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a clean and calm home environment, and experience supervising multiple dogs. I closely follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, provide constant supervision, and can crate pets if needed to match their home routine.
About: I had two labradors when I was young. I helped take care of them, walk them and play with them. They taught me the meaning of true love! I’ve taken care of my daughter’s German Shepherd for 2+ years, helping train him, walk, feed and play with him. Such a love bug! I love being around dogs! I work until 315 everyday but am available after that M-Fri. I also can do 730-8am some days. Saturday and Sunday I have more availability that can be discussed. I will follow any instructions you leave. I will walk your dog on a leash if needed or let them out in your yard, whatever is preferred. I’ll play with them with their toys and give them lots of pets and love. I’ll do whatever is necessary to give you peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of!
About: I am a lover of all animals! I have had a passion for them ever since I was very young and strived to make a career out of it! As an adult, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am experienced in administering medications oral and injections. I have actively volunteered at animal shelters comforting different breeds, big and small, playing, walking, cleaning up after them, or just giving them a friend to hang out with. In addition to my unique background, I have been in senior care for 8 years. I have experience with helping those elders in need including caring for their pets when needed. I run activity programs with seniors, which frequently includes pet therapy groups for sensory stimulation for elders. I currently work full time, but I am available all hours after work around 4:30 PM. My nights are rather quiet and always searching for something to do. My weekends are flexible so if you are in need of a weekend getaway, I can be there! Most of my holidays are open as well so your furry friend will be in good hands! I have experience giving medication to dogs and cats. I definitely enjoy having some down time with them but also making sure they get taken care of physically. I love playing with them

“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
“I am thrilled with Ashley's caringness..and experience. She even got my cat to stop hiding. When I was away during the blizzard..she made sure she made it to my house. I feel at ease knowing Clay is in great hands. Thank you Ashley..”
About: I love to help owners care for their pets! I currently have a pup of my own and grew up surrounded by dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can make most walks or drop in visits work with my schedule. Just let me know what works for you and your pet! I am flexible to care for your pet in your home however you would like. I can do drop in visits, or spend the day/night in your home with your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Florence
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Sydney and couldn't be happier with the care our two dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and take great pride in providing exceptional care. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Both dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and it was obvious they received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Managing two dogs can be a challenge, but she handled everything wonderfully and treated our pups as if they were her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, which says it all. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. We will absolutely book with her again in the future! 🐾🐾❤️

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Florence choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
