“Frida was great! She watched our cats for over a week, they tend to be shy but warmed up to her and let her pet and play with them by the end. We appreciated the updates and photos she shared as well :)”
About: Hi! I’m Alexa, a recent University of Miami graduate and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and birds and have spent the last 10+ years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my family has also been involved with supporting a no-kill animal shelter, which has only strengthened my love for helping animals. I currently have two dogs with completely different personalities, which has taught me how important it is to understand every pet’s individual needs. My 11-year-old dog is calmer, loves relaxing, sunbathing, and getting attention, while my younger rescue dog is energetic, playful, and always ready to run around. Having both has given me experience with senior dogs, rescues, high-energy dogs, and different temperaments. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and giving medications. My dog Bentley has diabetes, so I also have personal experience caring for pets with medical needs and understand how important it is to be attentive, responsible, and follow instructions carefully. I would describe myself as patient, gentle, active, and extremely attentive. I always pay attention to little details, whether that means making sure a dog isn’t overheating outside, keeping fresh water available, noticing changes in behavior, or simply making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I truly see pets as members of the family and will always treat your dog with the same care, kindness, and love that I give my own. Im currently home for the summer and I high flexibility for dog walking, house sitting, and potty breaks. I love to get to know all sorts of pups and appreciate each of their individual likes and personalities. If overnight boarding is foreseeable for the future after initial services with your dog, I would be happy discuss and go over details in a deeper extent.
“Cristina took fantastic care of our two cats! She stayed for a lot of time which made me feel good because they were getting socialized and made it clear that she wasn’t just showing up and rushing out the door. She was very responsive to any communications and very accommodating!”
“Responsible and very responsive sitter! I appreciate Hannah's attention to detail. She was available for a last minute request with this booking and was also able to come for an additional visit so I could extend my vacation. Thank you!!”
“Yocelyn is reliable and responsible, she took great care of Kira, give me updates each visit ...always quick to respond my messages, definitely I recommend her!She is great!!”
About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats and dogs at home, I truly understand their needs and quirks. I also watch dogs of all sizes and ages, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their own environment. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your pets and believe having them stay in a location they are familiar with is the ideal stay. I work from home when booked, allowing me to adjust my schedule to be fully available on booked days. I bring my laptop setup with me and I'm all set. Have an extremely flexible schedule. I take great joy in walking dogs and giving them the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel loved and cared for during their time with me. I watch dogs in your own home to ensure they feel comfortable with an environment they are used to and to avoid any additional stress.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, including having 4 cats of my own, 2 dogs, and few fosters! I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I work in human healthcare, so I’m attentive, dependable, and take health and safety seriously. I currently have two very spoiled cats, Max and Toby, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I currently work Wednesday through Saturday, so my availability is more limited on those days. I’m most available on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. That said, I’m sometimes able to accommodate visits on workdays depending on the time, so it never hurts to ask! I do best with about a week’s notice for new requests, but I’m always happy to try to help with last-minute needs when I can, even if availability isn’t guaranteed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their own home. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your pet is supervised and comfortable at all times. Because I work in healthcare, I’m used to being detail-oriented, respectful of others’ homes, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Anoti was amazing!!!! She came to visit and took care of Onyx while I went to my sister wedding. onyx looked happy when Anoti sent photos and she even heated up onyx food for dinner time. I would definitely use Anoti again!”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!”
“Another great visit from Jennifer. She was able to get two of my shy kitties out of hiding to have breakfast with the rest. Pets can sense who’s friendly and can be safe around. Jennifer loves pets and pets love her. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”
“This is our second booking with Alexis for dog care services. She did a wonderful job for us once again. She is caring and thoughtful towards our Ringo and Rosie's needs and respectful and dutiful in our home environment. We appreciate her dedicated care in working with our dogs!”
About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.
“Had Roshni watch our cat for a second time, this time for two visits and she was great!! Trustworthy and you know she truly cares about your pet. I will continue to request her in the future knowing my Lucky will be in the best hands.”
“Holly is very responsible, cat loving, and knowing person. She complied with a schedule. Our two cats accepted her from day one. We recommend Holly, and will call her in the future.”
Hillsborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah was extremely responsive and caring towards my cat! I had been worried about my cat since I had recently traveled with her and wasn’t sure how she was going to adjust but Hannah was very communicative and often gave detailed summaries of her visits and lots of photos. I really appreciated it as an anxious pet owner and would recommend Hannah to anyone!
Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!
So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.
What a good match Marco and his dog Wolf are for my dogs Shasta and Star. It was my dog’s first time having someone other than my household care for them at home. So, we did a short 1hour booking with Marco, and with Wolf too. Things couldn’t have gone any better. Since my dogs are young, super strong with high energy, Wolf being there was like having a friend along that could really enjoy running, jumping and playing at high speeds and with big smiles. Shasta and Star love their new friend Wolf. Marco was a perfect choice for caring for them since he has all the right combination of skill sets for active dogs. Marco admittedly loves the outdoors and that’s speaks volumes because that’s mostly all my dogs want, someone who loves the outdoors as they do, if they’re not sleeping. I look forward to bookings with Marco. 🙂Kari
