Lindsey did a great job. She was on time and returned our texts and calls almost immediately. Barkley loved her. We were first time users of a pet sitter and Lindsey exceeded our expectations. As nervous pet parents, Lindsey put our minds to rest by sending pictures and updates of how Barkley was doing through out our time away. We will definitely use her again as Barkley's sitter.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!

About: I e had multiple pets my entire life. As a child I cared for two dogs and a cat. As an adult I e had over 5 dogs and cats. I love animals but I can’t have them now where I live. I currently work part time as a barber. I’m new to Florida and currently it’s hard to find other work to fill my week. I’m very flexible and will care for any breed or size. I love taking them for walks and playing with them. Cats and dogs. I used to have a cat that loved being walked by harness.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken care my sister’s dog, my cousin’s puppy, my friend’s chickens, and my friend’s dog too, over the years. I recently decided to give the Rover community a chance. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have one fur baby of my own - a brown pit mix who is full of energy and curiosity! I currently have a lot of free time on my hands, which will allow me to dedicate all the time necessary to your lifelong companions. I am available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I’m a reliable, caring dog walker who’ll treat your pup like family. When in your home, I would take your fur baby for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I also provide video and picture updates of your baby’s day.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown to really enjoy caring for cats as well. I have a bunny of my own, so I understand how important it is to give pets daily attention, patience, and love. I’m known by friends and family for being great with animals, and I’ve even been recommended to work at a grooming and dog care store. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I can provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits when your pets need them most. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or some evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I tailor my visits to fit their needs—and your schedule! I make sure they’re always supervised, have plenty of water and comfort, and get lots of love and attention. Your pets will have fun and feel cared for while you’re away, so you can return knowing they’re happy and safe!

Rachel was fantastic and incredibly reliable while caring for my 15-year-old cat. She asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, which made me feel confident my cat was in great hands. My cat gets nervous around new people and tends to hide, but Rachel went out of her way to find her and make sure she was okay. She also communicated quickly and provided updates, which really eased my anxiety while I was away. I highly recommend her :)

About: Like a lot of people, I’ve had dogs my whole life. Pomeranians, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Cane Corsos and now I have my English Bulldog, Puck, who is my whole world. I know what it’s like to feel nervous about my dog being taken care of by someone new, and I never want anyone to feel that way when they book with me! I’m a student, so I’m available during hours many people usually work. I’m also very free on weekends, so if you take a quick trip I can stop by. I always do what the pet parent asks. If your dog likes walks short or long, I can do that. I will make sure everything you want and need is taken care of regarding your furry friend, and if there’s any special requests just let me know when booking!

Tina went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She takes great photos and very detailed notes, making sure to address every single care instruction that we gave her. She was accommodating when I had to add a couple extra feeding instructions at the last minute, and responded to all messages promptly. Certainly made my gf and I less stressed, would 100% recommend.

I have to say that is the first time I use this app since I usually take my fur baby to a boarding hotel, but I have to say that Moli was AMAZING!!!! You can see that she loves animals and Max fell in love with her and looked so happy and comfortable in the pictures she sent me. If you need someone to take care of your baby while you are away she should be your go to sitter. Thank you again Moli, hope we’ll get another opportunity in the future for you to be close and able to take care of my baby again. Thank you! ♥️🐾

Sophia has cat sat for me twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she watches. She took great care of my cats, followed their specific food needs carefully, and made sure to spend time playing with them as well. I always felt updated and reassured while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
