“We had a wonderful experience with Jessika! She took excellent care of our cat and dog while we were away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and that she respected our home while staying there. I especially appreciated her regular updates she sent throughout the day, which kept us reassured and connected. We highly recommend her services and will be using her again next time we leave town!”


“Cynthia was excellent taking care of my babies. She was always on time and took good care of them. Always informing me everythime she was there and sending pictures. I trust her and I will be using her again! Thank you Cynthia 🫶”


“Hailey is the best! She handled our wild husky so well! She provided us with updates, pictures, and kept us at ease during our trip! She is so nice and courteous and treated our home with care! It’s great to know we have someone we can trust our dog and home with!! Will def be using her again!”


“It was a pleasure meeting David. We felt very comfortable leaving our somewhat high energy young german shepherd with him. He's not a super friendly dog with people but David was cool with that and won him over. Highly recommended!”


“Brit took great care of our zoo (dog, 2 cats, 2 ferrets, and an axolotl) and our home while we were on vacation. She let me give her quick lessons on caring for the “exotic” pets during our meet and greet, and I could immediately tell she’s an animal lover. Brit is also an excellent communicator and we appreciated getting photo updates every day so that we knew everyone was safe and happy. We will hire her in the future.”


“Bethany did an amazing job watching my 2 fur babies. She sent pictures each day, was on time and compliant with everything I asked. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future and recommend her services to pet owners looking for reliable, trusted care.”


“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”


“Gabriela was communicative and took great care of our pet and was respectful to our home while we took a short vacation. She kept us updated with pictures and asked great questions when we forgot to include a few things in our care instructions, so it was clear she cared a lot about the wellbeing of our pet. Would definitely book her again in the future.”


“I recently used Christine’s services for my dog, Chloe, and was extremely satisfied. Christine was professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. They provided regular updates, photos, and videos, giving me peace of mind. My shy/crazy little one quickly warmed up to them and seemed very comfortable. Christine followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure Chloe got plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. When I returned, my dog was relaxed and well-cared for. I highly recommend Christine and will definitely use their services again!”


“I couldn’t be happier to have Amanda take care of our sweet pups while we were away! She showers them with all the love and snuggles and gives us such peace of mind that they can be at home and feel all the love.”


About: My mother has owned dogs my entire life, but a year ago I adopted my dog Onyx, and he changed my life. He and my newly adopted dog Mocha keep me going every day. I love spending time with my dogs and love working with new dogs because eventually I do want to become a dog trainer. FYI: My legal name is Dominick Cobin, but I prefer using my mom's maiden last name of Ruocco. I currently work Monday through Friday as an electrician, but I am free on nights and weekends. I am willing to do whatever is needed to gain experience working with dogs other than my own because eventually I do want to become a full-time dog trainer. I would care for other people's pets as if they were my own. I will always care for them as their owners instructed, even if it differs from something I do for my own. I would want others to respect my wishes, so I will respect other people's wishes when it comes to their dogs. I know how important mine are to me, so I understand.

“Brandi is very kind and polite. She sent me tons of photos and updates, even for a short trip, which made me fell much more comfortable with her during our first booking. I will definitely book her again!”


“We had a good experience with Olga. She took good care of our dogs and our house while we were away. She followed the instructions, sent pics of our dogs, and communicated well throughout the booking process and the stay. Overall would recommend! Our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of when we returned.”


“Taylor was very good with Hunter. He had a couple of skin infections and she was on top of it! He had a trip to the vet and a trip to the ER. She made sure he had his medicine, daily exercise, food and water, and made sure he wore the dreaded cone. Taylor took very good care of him. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures of Hunter. If she had a question, she asked. Taylor also stayed at our house. She treated it as her own. Everything was in order when we came home. Bedding (ours and Hunters) was washed. We were very pleased with the care Taylor gave Hunter and our home.”


About: With a decade of experience in house sitting and personal pet care, I provide trustworthy and attentive services tailored to your pet’s needs. My background includes caring for various breeds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you are away. I specialize in creating a comfortable environment for your pets, whether it involves daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. My commitment is to ensure your furry friends feel safe and happy in their own home. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I prioritize my schedule to ensure that I dedicate ample time for walks, play, and training sessions. Each day begins with early morning walks, allowing pets to enjoy fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, I maintain a flexible schedule that accommodates feeding times, medication administration, and regular check-ins for any special needs. My evenings are reserved for quality bonding time, ensuring each pet feels loved and secure before bedtime. This structured yet adaptable approach allows me to provide consistent care while also being responsive to the unique needs of each pet. In my home and my clients’ homes, safety is paramount. I conduct thorough assessments of the environment to identify potential hazards and ensure a secure space for pets. I use baby gates to restrict access to unsafe areas and keep harmful substances out of reach. During pet care visits, I maintain a clean environment by regularly sanitizing areas where pets spend time. I provide updates via text or photos during visits to reassure them about their pet’s well-being. Additionally, I create a calm atmosphere by using familiar scents and toys from home, helping pets feel comfortable in new surroundings. My goal is always to foster a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.

“Tifani was amazing! Her and Betty, our Boxer, had a great time together. Tifani was very responsive and kept us up to date on the daily activities of Betty and our two cats. We would definitely request Tifani again as she did an awesome job and we never worried our animals in her care!”


About: With years of hands-on experience, I’m a dedicated and passionate pet sitter who offers reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages. From energetic puppies as young as 6 weeks to senior pets needing extra TLC, I specialize in tailoring care to meet each animal’s unique needs. For the past 2 years, I’ve been an outstanding sitter on Rover, as well as private clients, and other platforms, I’ve consistently received glowing reviews and responses from happy clients. In addition to my professional history, I have a lifelong background in animal rescue, starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood. This experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, including working with timid, reactive, and aggressive dogs to help them feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m skilled in: • Pet sitting (in-my-home and drop-in) • Leash walking & exercise routines • Basic obedience and behavioral training • Handling aggressive, anxious, shy, or high-energy pets • Bathing and basic grooming • Administering medication or following special care routines What You Can Expect with My In-Home Care: Your pet’s comfort and joy are my top priorities. Though my home is small, it’s a warm, safe, and enriching environment filled with activities and affection. Daily routines typically include: • Morning and evening walks • Outdoor sunshine and dog park trips 1–2 times per week • Doggie pool play & enrichment activities • Brain stimulation games • Indoor playtime and plenty of cuddles To ensure safety and comfort, I offer: • Outdoor run leads for secure off-leash time • Two gated areas and two crates for smooth transitions or decompression, if needed • A peaceful, structured environment that supports both play and rest If you’re not looking for in-home care, I also offer a variety of flexible services, including: • Drop-in visits • Daytime pet sitting • Dog walking • Bathing and light grooming • Basic training sessions • Special request accommodations I care for every animal as if they were my own, and I would be honored to welcome your fur baby into my care. Let’s connect and discuss how I can give your pet the love, safety, and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am available 24/7. I am always flexible and willing to work with pet owners to help cater to whatever needs there may be. I’m currently working part-time as a private caregiver and create my own schedule. I’m completing an internship as a dog trainer with Ridgeside K9 - Tampa which also allows me to be home more and create a very flexible schedule to tend to my animals when they need me. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I ensure my space is pet-proofed—free of hazards, with secure fencing (if applicable), and a consistent routine that helps pets feel at ease. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely to maintain continuity for their pet. I build trust through clear communication, regular updates with photos/videos, and by being dependable and gentle in all interactions. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or simply offering comfort, I provide attentive, loving care so your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm. We had lots of cats and dogs and other animals. I’ve always had a strong love for cats and dogs. I currently have one tuxedo cat and she loves to play with other kitty cats. I’ve cared for many sick animals given shots and medication multiple times a day when needed and can be in contact with pet owners throughout the day when needed. I am a professional stock photographer and work out of my home office so I have lots of time to dedicate to loving your pet. I work from my Home Office studio as a professional stock photographer, and Marketing Consultant . I can be available for pet care at all days and all times without being affected by my job. I have a fenced in backyard if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I do have a fenced in backyard if that is a requirement
