House Sitting in Florence

“We are first time cat owners. Our guy is just 10 months old, and this trip to help deal with some elderly parent issues in Florida was the first time we’ve traveled since getting our cat. We were very nervous. Luckily, we found Camille and she was available. We could not be happier. Excellent communication, lots of pics and videos of our guy, and she went above and beyond for us many times throughout the week. By the end of the first day, we knew Ulrich was in excellent hands and we’d made the right choice. I want to tell you that Camille is awesome, we are thrilled with her performance as a sitter, and that we think our cat now officially has an aunt, but I also kind of want to keep quiet about it, because I don’t want her to be booked solid the next time we need her. :P And there will be a next time. She’s fantastic. Hire her.”

“This experience and Charlene exceeded my expectations. I hadn't used Rover before and was really nervous about leaving my home and loved pup in the care of someone else but I got lots of updates while I was away and when I got back, my dog dog was happy and relaxed. When I need a pet sitter again, I won't even hesitate to book Charlene.”

“Maryann was very good with our dogs. She followed our routine, requests, and kept our house clean.”

“Morgan is fantastic! She showed up on time and fell in love with my puppy from the minute she arrived. She sent pictures, played with her and kept her cuddled up and happy until we returned. She is great! I would highly suggest her!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of many ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable with the routines that come with good pet care: consistent feeding schedules, exercise, basic training reinforcement, and paying attention to changes in behavior that might mean a dog needs something. I have experience helping with puppy training basics life patience during walks, reinforcing commands, and keeping them mentally stimulated. I also understand that senior dogs sometimes need gentler exercise, more frequent bathroom breaks, and extra patience. In addition to dogs, I have experience working with animals in a farm environment, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to pay attention to an animal's needs and body language. Because of that background, I'm calm, reliable, and comfortable around animals with different temperaments. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I enjoy spending time outdoors walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to stay organized and consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a calm environment where they feel secure. In a client's home, I carefully follow the pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets are feeling safe and happy. I respect my clients' homes and keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

“Ron did a great job taking care of our baby. Oliver is an American bully who is sweet and needy. Ron gave him a lot of love while we were out!”

“From Anika's first stroking of my cat's fur during our meet and greet, I could see that he felt comfortable with her. It was comforting to know that he would let her provide the love and cuddles we wouldn't be home to give him. Thank you, Anika for taking good care of our senior cat!”

“Bridgette is Amazing!!! She is so kind and wonderful to all of our goobers, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was happy and healthy when we got home and house was immaculate.. I can’t say enough nice things about Bridgette and will 100% be asking her to care for our lil guys whenever we head out of town.”

“Caitlin was awesome! She watched our dogs on our wedding day and brought them to the venue to get pictures with us, not once but twice when we were running behind and had to skip the first chance. She was communicative and our dogs seemed to love her, and I know both I and my new husband appreciate that we were able to make it happen. She helped make it possible for us to relax and enjoy our day and not worry about the pups. We’ll definitely be requesting she watch them again.”

Erica G.

“Karolina is the best cat sitter we have ever had!! This is our second time working with her and we’re so grateful to have found her. She takes extra special care of our two cats and also leaves our home so clean and tidy during her stays. She sends lovely updates. She has even been able to get our shy cat to come out and play some. We also appreciate that we can be hard to reach when out of town but she’s always on top of things. We highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Karolina!”

“Kathryn really helped us out with a last minute booking! She was great with the boundaries we put in place for our reactive dog. Even willing to swing by one extra time when our flight got delayed.”

Sarah R.

“Amber watched our dogs for 4 days, and everything went great. She kept me in the loop when she checked in on everyone and made sure they were loved on.”

“This is my first time using a Rover and I’m actually glad I did. Tonya made me feel at ease knowing my kiddos are very well taken cared of. She gave me updates and sent me pictures of how my babies are doing. She kept my home clean which is very important to me as well. Knowing I can trust her not only with my precious babies and my home, made my trip so much easier. I will definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Tonya 😊”

About: I work for myself so my schedule is quite flexible - meaning your pets will have someone with them for at least 18 hours a day and can do things (walks etc) on their already-known schedule. Growing up my family had dogs for 15 years. Since moving out of state, I have loved my friends' and clients' animals as if they were my own pets - especially since I don't have the space to have my own pets currently. I've done overnight stays for clients with animals since 2021. Because I work from home those fur babies received around-the-clock care and attention. I have also worked with clients who just needed someone to drop-in for walks, check-ins, and feeding. I have experience with pets who needed a little extra care, including administering topical and oral medicines and figuring out stomach issues. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is flexible, available to be around most of the day, and has tons of pet love to give, you've found the right person. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to work with clients and their pets' needs. I enjoy traveling which is why I do not have any pets of my own, but I love animals and take any opportunity to connect with people's pets. I currently live in a house with a dog and two cats, so I get to enjoy their company when I'm around. I cannot bring animals to the house I currently live in, but I am happy to care for your animals in the comfort of their own home. I notice that animals tend to be quite anxious for a night or two after their owner leaves, so I have a very gentle approach and give them space if needed. I enjoy sending updates and pictures to my clients (if they like to get updates) and I work with my clients to figure out how to make their animals as comfy as they can be with a new person around.

“Donna was great to work with. She replied quickly to our request for a catsitter, communicated well, was flexible when we asked if she could add more hours, sent photos of our cat, responded right away to our texts/call and left our house just as she found it. Highly recommend.”

“Took great care of our aging senior dog while we were out of town. Great communication and photo updates throughout our time away. House was clean and spotless when we came back - she even brought all of our packages and mail into the house for us!”

Melissa W.

“Ali dogsat our two dachshunds, Odie and Bella, for three nights in our home while my husband and I were out of town. From the moment we had our “meet and greet” we felt at ease with her. She kept in touch with photos and videos and they were very happy and much better off staying in their home instead of a long road trip with us. I will definitely be booking Ali again and highly recommend her!”

Jenny D.

“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”

Nancy L.

“Liz was fantastic with the cats and their specific needs. She was very communicative and The house was very clean when I got back! I'll be booking with her when I go out of town again 100 %.”

Samantha B.

“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”
