About: I have been a veterinary technician and am a life long animal lover. I have my associates degree in veterinary science. Comfortable with medication and older animals. Taking care of pets since I was a kiddo. My schedule is very flexible and I am available for most jobs. The career I have is sales and I am able to set my own appointments/hours. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate if needed. We do not currently have any dogs in our home, one cat who is friendly.
“Great experience with Lexi! She watched our dog at our home & did amazing with Daisy! She was so friendly, sent photos of Daisy, and kept us up to date on how she was doing. Great communication & Daisy loved her! Would highly recommend.”
“Amelia was amazing with our two tiny dogs. They are both very nervous animals but warmed up so fast to her. I would be happy to have her back again as our dog sitter! Highly recommend!!”
“Jessie was very communicative and did an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures as requested and I felt that she was very capable handling my high energy boxer mix and senior mini poodle mix. She also took excellent care of the house while I was away. Highly recommend her to watch anyone’s fur babies.”
“Adela did a great job and communicated really well. The cats were very happy because she kept their routine the same and made sure they had everything they needed. One of our cats needed eye drops, and she did a good job giving them to him. She stayed over and left our house so clean. I highly recommend her for cat and house sitting. 😊”
“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”
About: I’ve never known life without dogs! I grew up with 3–4 at a time, adopted my first dog at 15, and now have three of my own. I also foster and have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls, German Shepherds and Bullmastiffs. I especially love working with deaf dogs and have experience teaching sign-language commands, basic obedience and leash skills. Friends and family have trusted me for years with their dogs and often come to me for help with behavioral concerns and care questions. I know how hard it is to leave your dogs behind. I’ve never boarded my own because I want them comfortable and loved while I’m away. I even brought all three to my wedding! Whether your pup is 10 pounds or 100, shy or full of zoomies, I’d love to keep them happy, loved, and help them “get their squiggles out” while you’re away. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend care, including daytime visits and walks. I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away! 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’ll follow your feeding, walking, medication and house rules closely and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime and affection. I’m also experienced with crates, senior dogs, anxious pups, special needs and dogs who need a little extra patience. 🐾

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Holmes Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Holmes Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Holmes Beach 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!

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 .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
