About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years and have regularly cared for pets of friends and neighbors over the years. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m very experienced with pet care, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable and safe in a home environment. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat them like my own. I understand the trust and concern when leaving your pets and will keep them safe. I currently work from home. I am available weekends for in home pet-sitting and visits. I can do some walking/ visits during the week depending on where you live and will help out if you have an emergency. I especially have flexibility for the JCP area. If your dog stays in my home then I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old pug that is very good with all dogs. I share my home with my husband and teenage daughter, both are very comfortable around dogs and will give your pet all the attention that they are comfortable with. We are home and will make sure you pet is not left alone, but will give them space if they need it. They can be as close and get as much attention as they choose. We are dog people!

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 16 years now. I got my first dog, Sammy, in 2009 and I got my second dog, Penny, in 2017. My dogs were my best friends growing up. They both sadly passed away in 2023 and I miss them everyday. I have pet sat for multiple people around our community for both dogs and cats. I have done several volunteer experiences throughout the years with animals, including equine therapy and fostering a dog in college. During my breaks home from college, I worked in boarding at a local veterinary clinic. I gained valuable experience in grooming and administering medications with pets of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently completing my last year of graduate school at University of North Florida. I have classes from 11 AM-6:30 PM on Tuesdays. My internship is at varied times on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, mostly during afternoon and early evenings. I am typically unavailable on Wednesdays from 10 AM-7:30 PM. I am available most mornings and evenings. On Friday through Sunday, I have full availability for any pet care needs. I have full availability on university breaks as well. Feel free to message me with any questions about specific dates. For boarding, I am currently living at home with family in JCP. We have a spacious fenced in yard. There is no smokers, children, or other pets in the house. We are all huge animal lovers! For drop ins, I have a car to get to any place needed. Safety is absolutely my number one priority for your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: I grew up in a house full of animals. My spouse and I currently have 3 cats, 2 rats, and a snake, and we look forward to adding a dog to our family soon. I love puppies! (But who doesn’t?) Having already raised two of my own, I have experience working through the potty-training phase and can facilitate basic obedience while you’re away. I have also cared for a variety of less-conventional pets, including birds, turtles, lizards, and rabbits. I’m confident when it comes to pet care and I’m willing to take on any exotic pet! I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to choose a rate that is tailored to both my responsibilities and your budget. I understand that your pets are a part of your family, and I look forward to treating them like a member of my own. As a freelancer, my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m available any day of the week, any time of day. If your puppy needs a potty break at midnight, I’m available. Whether I’m taking your pup for a walk or hanging out in your home for a drop-in, I’m sure to take good care of not only your animals, but your space, too. I’ll send update photos so you can see your best friend, and send you a message to let you know how things are going.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and owned several dogs for 10+ years. I have some volunteering experience at veterinary hospitals and basic medical training. I love dogs and they love me! I have several dogs and cats at home, and my schedule revolves around their care. I always take time to keep their routines comfortable for them, and work in training, playing, and of course cuddling! My animals are my top priority at all times. I deeply understand that I am responsible for their health and comfort. I always put their needs ahead of mine and make sure they are as happy as they can be!

“Aaliyah was wonderful and communicative throughout. Evie loved her and was a much happier dog when I came home from work. My cat loved her too. Going to be having Aaliyah over much more often to help with the pooch.”

About: Hello! I’m Carleen, I have always had a love for animals. I am currently a veterinary technician, have been for 6 years now! I have worked in 3 clinics and a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience of walking, bathing, feeding, medicating, monitoring and loving pets! I love every animal like it were my own. I’m currently new to the area looking for work! Waiting to start at a new clinic so I lots of availability to care for your pets! Having experience as a vet tech gives me the advantage of observing behaviors, medicating, feeding and gaining trust from you and your pet. It helps make me a responsible advocate for pet sitting/walking

About: I have years of professional and volunteer animal-care experience, including working in canine care, wildlife rehabilitation, animal education, and fostering dogs and cats through local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and needs, from bottle-fed puppies to senior dogs. Through shelter fostering, I’ve cared for puppies and adult dogs with a variety of medical and behavioral needs, including administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, reinforcing training and routines, and providing plenty of enrichment and socialization. I also have professional experience caring for dogs in a kennel environment and am comfortable reading canine body language and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I’m an animal lover with a B.S. in Zoology, and I take each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs seriously. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a potty break, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and can accommodate regular visits as well as occasional care when you’re away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to arrive within our agreed-upon time frame. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any behavioral or medical considerations. My animal-care and fostering experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior, and I never force interaction with an animal that is nervous or uncomfortable. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Haleigh has been walking my dog for awhile now and has been so wonderful! My dog looks so happy in the photos she sends, and I feel so comfortable with her watching him. She sends updated throughout their walk, which I apprentice so much. Highly recommend booking with Haleigh!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner, I know the importance of patience, trust-building, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. My rescue dog, Orville, has taught me the value of meeting dogs where they are, whether they need extra reassurance, structure, playtime, or simply a calm companion. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while their family is away. I have always enjoyed helping friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets. While I have not provided pet care professionally before or through a platform like Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. My experience may not be formally documented, but it comes from years of genuine care, responsibility, and love for all animals. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. Your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Thursday through Saturday, I have flexible availability and can provide care throughout the day. I currently work four days a week until 3 PM, so Sunday through Wednesday I'm available after 3 PM. I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule and routine! I love spending time in my own backyard, but I also enjoy exploring new places! My pup loves adventures, so we often visit on-leash parks for walks, fresh air, and new experiences. I enjoy giving dogs opportunities to safely explore, get exercise, and enjoy the world around them while always keeping their comfort and safety a priority. Play is a constant in our household! I believe playtime is about more than just fetch. I enjoy incorporating scent games, enrichment activities, and mentally stimulating games into a dog’s routine to help keep them happy and engaged (esp. if it's extremely hot or rainy)!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 40 years. Whether it was my personal pets or watching friends animals, I think animals can heal and help humans thrive emotionally and physically. I have a flexible schedule. I can be available to watch your pets when you need it. Animals bring joy! I will watch them with kindness and care. I am very organized and can follow any instructions given. Animals are vital in the world today. I would be happy to protect them while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.

“Bianca was incredible!!! She definitely kept my mind and heart at ease. Amazing communication, the best notes, and the cutest pictures. Thank you, Bianca!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Ariana. I have worked with animals for over 15 years and have owned animals all my life. My favorite animals are cats, but I love to hang out with dogs as well. I have owned and am knowledgable with Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Labrador Retrievers. I previously worked at a few pet stores as a Pet Care Associate as well as a Veterinary Assistant and a Dog Bather for a few years. From these previous jobs, I have learned many things about different types of pets and their behaviors. I have a full time job outside of Rover that is an 8-5. I also have an Associate’s degree in General studies, a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, and I am pursuing a medical coding degree so that I am able to work from home and have more time pet sitting! In the meantime, I would love to spend more time taking care of animals while continuing my education and Rover allows me to do just that. Can't wait to love and care for all of your fur babies! I try to be as flexible with pet parents as I possibly can when it comes to scheduling any services. I will work with anyone’s schedule to provide the best care! From the time that I wake up to the time that I go to sleep I am taking care of animals. I currently have one cat named Kiki. When I care for animals, I care for them like the loving creatures that they are. Taking care of an animal is like taking care of a dear friend. When I worked at different pet stores I lived and breathed caring for animals and put thought into each and every animals’ care. Now that I have my own pet sitting business, I want to do that very same thing with your fur babies. I would love to care for them as if they are my own and would drop anything and everything to make sure that they had the best care imaginable.

“Very easy to work with and excellent with animals. Very prompt in meeting and great communication. Lindsey was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely use her service again!”
