I’m experienced in sitting, overnights, and puppy training, and I’m a stay-at-home mom with two German Shepherds and land to play. Me and my husband, both currently work at home full-time so our routine we are normally home all the time they would fit into our routine just fine I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I also have two dogs in my own that would be great friends and they would get on great.

“I have 2 cats name Ella and Kate Spade. Taylor was wonderful. She sent me pictures everyday and reported their activities. She dropped in everyday for 2 1/2 weeks without a single problem. Definitely will use her again on my next trip.”

About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.

“Cheryl helped us out again by checking in on our babies while we visited family a few hours from home. Cheryl is reliable, loves our babies and always goes above and beyond. We would not trust Lilly and Ruby with anyone else.”

“Stefanie came to walk my dogs to get to know them before our trip away. The dogs remembered her from our meet and greet and enjoyed their walk and both went potty. I feel very comfortable with her coming back to care for my dogs after seeing her interact with them and seeing how much she cares. She truly cares for animals and it shows.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Bonnie! She was very responsive to our frequent communication - answering questions, understanding when we needed to make a schedule change, and sharing updates and photos during her visits. Most importantly, she gave care and attention to our beloved Kiwi and for that we're very grateful! We highly recommend Bonnie and will definitely use her again.”

“Brandi was exceptionally attentive to our pup and our requests for care while we were away for a couple of weeks. She made an instant connection with Buddy and asked lots of questions to be sure she understood what our dog needed and to be best prepared to meet his needs while we were away. Brandi was prompt with her visits and kept us updated with report cards. She even stepped up and provided a last-minute drop in when our flight got delayed on our return. We couldn’t be happier or feel more trusting of Brandi. We look forward to using her again!”

About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.

About: I have always adored animals. I care for them like they are people and do my absolute best to make sure they are happy, healthly, and 100% comfortable. That means going the extra mile in care. For example taking an extra 20 minutes to let them run around play before being left alone until I return or the owner makes it home. I have two pets, a two year old english cocker spaniel and a seven your old cat. So I am not afraid to clean up any messes. I have watched family friends, friends, and been hired by others in my community to care for their pets. I will treat your pet like family, because they are apart of your family. I will make any accommodations you need for your pet, just let me know what you need! I currently work full time 8:30-5pm with a one hour lunch break, which means during the week days I am available after 5pm. But on weekends I am available around the clock. To ensure your pets safety I only will do things that you allow and/or feel comfortable with. If we go outside in an unfenced location, your pet will remain on his or her leash. I typically try to take pets to the park, but I always about this ask this before doing so.

“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”

About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

About: I've loved and taken care of all different kinds of animals my whole life! I started at 14 taking care of horses in my 4-H club. I've grown up living with dogs, cats and even a bird or two. After I turned 20, I finally got my very first personal dog. I love her more than life itself! I am currently part time employed and job hunting! I am taking this time to grow as a person and possibly start my own business. I am in college part time for business, but I always make time for the important things in life (loving on my pup) I know what it’s like to need to be away from your baby. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run and/or a large, cozy bed for them to snooze. Whatever fits your pup best!

About: I've had the privilege of handling and caring for different cats and dogs of various ages and temperaments. I have cared for feral cats, stray dogs, shelter surrenders, rescues, fosters, family and friend's pets. Over the years I've gained experience with the guidance of veterinary professionals, volunteers, and animal enthusiasts! As young as 11 years old I began to understand and hone in on my ability to empathically and responsibly care for other living animals. Now 24, I'm continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in the animal care world to give the best nurturing and love to all of the furbabies I can! I can enrich, play, feed + water and walk +/or hangout with your canine/feline pal(s) at the times avaliable in my schedule and remain open/flexible within those time frames Monday to Friday. I assist the animals I am care for by ensuring they are fed, watered, medicated, and engaged with at appropriate/scheduled times. They will have plenty of engagement with play, walks, cuddles/pets, treats/rewards, and/or simply relaxing around them (depending on the individual). I love being in nature and being able to take any animal able to outdoors with me (within the confines of their mobility and indepedent circumstances)(supervised of course). As for cats, if there is a catio area or the ability to go outside then I will take them out so they may enjoy that! I can provide safe and comfortable enrichment through games, toys, and puzzles you have to keep your pets feeling great during our time together.
