“Janelle did a fantastic job! She took great care of our goofy boy. We felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby in her hands, so much so we will use her again and again. She left everything even better than we had left it for her. She kept us informed with what was going on and we got videos and pictures. You can’t go wrong with her. Janelle is the best!”
About: I am a retired Registered Nurse, my husband Keith and I love dogs and cats. I know what to do if an emergency arises! We treat our pet clients and their home as if it were our own. We cared for many pets in Indiana, and now have decided to join Rover here in Florida. Due to Rover policies I cannot add any new testimonials. However, references from current clients are available upon request. My husband and I are both retired, we can have one of us at your house 24/7 if needed. When we take on an assignment, the pet's welfare and happiness comes first. The house will be in good hands and plant watering, etc. would be done if needed. We simply follow the instructions exactly as the owner requests. If they are allowed on the bed and want to sleep with us, that's what happens. If a pet is not allowed on furniture we of course respect the owner's wishes.
“Emily was amazing! She took care of our Bailey for two weeks. She’s attentive, caring and easy to work with. She followed all our instructions, kept up communications and daily pictures. She was responsible and respectful at our house but also gave our fur-baby attention, snuggles and diligently kept up with his special care, and daily walks. I strongly recommend her services and would be happy to hire her back.”
“Nina is a wonderful sitter for my two furbabies. They are so happy to see her and are melancholy when she leaves. She follows my directions and is flexible with changes. I’m always at ease when she is with my girls.”
“Christine was wonderful. So friendly, very understanding, and made it a priority to keep our little man on his same schedule/same routine that he was used to which we were so thankful for. Highly recommend her and we will definitely be repeat clients!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough amazing things about Hallie! She stepped in on short notice to care for our boys, Loki and Maverick, and completely exceeded our expectations. This was the first time we had ever left our six-month-old golden retriever with anyone, and we were honestly very nervous. But from the moment Hallie arrived, she put us at ease. She stayed in our home and was incredibly respectful, clean, and communicative. Hallie kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the weekend, which made such a difference and allowed us to actually enjoy our trip. It was clear the boys had a blast with her—they were happy, well-fed, and kept on their regular routine. Hallie truly went above and beyond, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We are already looking forward to having her back for our next trip. Thank you, Hallie, for treating our pups like your own!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.
“Taylor was so flexible for our schedule and short notice! She was a delightful companion for the pup and was very responsive. She documented her stay with adorable pics, too!”
“Shirley saved the day for us. Our scheduled pet sitter became ill and had to cancel. Shirley saved the day, she was able to accommodate my very last minute request. She did very well with our very energetic 14 month old pups. Would recommend.”
About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have 5 dogs and 1 cat I care for. I also have experience working as a kennel tech for 2.5 years and still currently employed where I do things like Feed, medicate, walk, bathe, vaccinate, and other services clients may ask for. I take care of 5 dogs and 1 cat at home and at work I care for plenty more dogs and cats. I am constantly running around making sure they are fed, medicated, and fully updated with additional services clients request. With my job in an animal hospital I am experienced in seeing changes in dog’s body language and knowing how best to care for them for the current situation. I have experience caring for everything from small dogs to the biggest dogs.
“Barry was amazing and we will absolutely be booking him again. He came prepared, sent lots of pics and even watched dog tv all day just to amuse our girl. The house was clean, our dog was happy and we could tell she really loved him. He may be pricier but the satisfaction is worth it. 100/10 recommend!!”
About: I’ve always love animals and have two dogs of my own and I grew up with a few cats. I have experience training and grooming dogs both small and large. I currently work part time as a home stager and have a very flexible schedule. I don’t mind working late nights or early mornings taking care of your animals. I have tons of experience cleaning up after pets and even administering medicines. I love to play and walk my animals and would love to do the same with yours!
“Dixan was fantastic. She did a wonderful job taking care of my elder dog. It’s always difficult to be away from your fur baby when they require more care and attention so it was a great relief to have someone care for her so well.”
About: I grew up fostering cats with my mom, and volunteering at the shelter a lot. I use to cry when I couldn’t take some of the dogs home or when one of the cats we were fostering found a home lol! I’ve always had a big heart for animals. I’m a school teacher with lots of holidays off! This makes me great for people that travel for the holidays, need weekend care, or even just early morning or afternoons during the week! I have a fenced yard for dogs that stay in my home. If the dog needs to be separate from my dog then I have my second floor for my dog, and bottom floor for the dog visiting. When im at the clients house I do my best to make the animal feel as loved as possible, I know it can be confusing and sad for them when their owner is gone but I want to make it a enjoyable trip!
“Laura was awesome. I had a great vacation knowing my little dog was being spoiled and loved. I am the type who worries when leaving my dog because he can be a handful and very spoiled. I am very great full to Laura and the peace of mind I had while being so far away. Thank you Laura!”
