About: Senior care, kittens/puppies, special needs. I have had animals all my life and connect with them on a different level. I often hear people say that their dog or cat doesn’t like people when they like me. I’m flattered and appreciative of their trust. I understand what that takes & I return it with love. I am a corporate professional, currently going back to school, pursuing my dream of getting a degree in Interior Design. My classes are virtual which gives me a lot if flexibility. I spend my time with my 2 cats and dog while studying. I care for my fur babies like they are my children, because they literally are my kids. I have had several special needs pets, and know how to handle challenging situations. I love to meet new people and their pets. I often find myself stopping to say hello to a random stranger, bonding over their fur baby. It’s the constant connection in my life.

About: I have been pet sitting since middle school and previously worked as a dog groomer’s assistant. I have had pets all my life and care for each and every one as family! I work as a server at a local Thai restaurant which provides me with a very flexible schedule! Available everyday until at least 3pm and can do overnights any time. I grew up with pets and I believe in safety first and following the rules, so I'm well-versed in walking guidelines. Our pets are our family and they deserve great care and respect.


“Awesome! I had Johana stay at my house for the weekend and came home to a clean house and happy animals! Will definitely be using Johana again! She gave me peace of mind while away from my babies”


About: I have had pet dogs since I has around 10 years old, my first being a miniature schnauzer. I adopted my first dog as a "grown-up" named Bailey. She was a mixed lab who I had until she was 14 years old, so I have a lot experience with senior care. Currently, I have two sweet pups! Bella is 13 years old and has hind-end paralyzation and also incontinence due to her condition, which occurred in 2016. Due to her condition, I have many years of experience with special needs dogs. I adopted her as a puppy, so I am also experienced with puppy care. Maggie is my other girl. She is 7 years old and is a Catahoula hound mix. She can be VERY energetic and loves her walks, so I am used to high-energy pets as well! I am currently not working, so I have a lot of free time to fit pet care into my weekly schedule! As long as I am not booked with another client, I am happy to consider last-minute bookings for your pets! We have a fenced in yard with a doggy door that Maggie is able to use. Bella has to be helped to use the bathroom and is on a routine so she doesn't have too many accidents. We express her and help her use pee pads or take her outside. She has a wheelchair, so I have experience helping her with that and using harnesses to help move her around. I am adaptable to whatever a client might need me to do for their animals!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter than Crystal! She took such wonderful care of our home and, most importantly, our Frenchie while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and she treated our pup like her own, giving us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos daily, which made being away so much easier. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter!”


“Excellent experience! Was able to feel relaxed about my pets while dealing with a stressful situation on a trip. Attentive, responsive, and did everything we talked about. Would definitely use again!”


“Gypsy was very communicative and shared daily photos, videos, and updates on our pets. We have three small dogs and they are a handful, so we are so grateful that she took such great care of them! She took our pups on walks each day and followed our directions for their care well. We hope to book again!”


About: Hey guys! My name is Kayley, I am originally from TN, moved to FL in 2023. I have a ton of animal experience. For many years, I did house sitting for quite a few people for quite a range of animals. I have watched horses, dogs, cats, pigs, llamas, alpacas, goats, chickens, ducks, pretty much any livestock animal you can think of. I have also worked at a doggy daycare and took dog handling classes (which also includes animal behavior classes). I am in Pet First Aid classes through Red Cross right now so I can be certified in that too. I have done a lot of pet first aid for my animals, animals on the streets and animals of friends/neighbors. The few places I have lived people would bring strays or their own animals to me and my roommate so we can evaluate the animals to assist in any way possible. I am NOT certified in anything, this is just knowledge I have from growing up in TN around all the farms I have worked on. I have taken quite a few animals off of the streets and either kept them or got them in with reputable rescues. **Please be aware, I do work full time. Generally I am off on most weekends, other days I will either work 8-5 or 9-6 so I will be able to care for animals outside of that timeframe. I do have a roommate as well (she is also a Rover sitter) so if your animal stays with me or comes to my home, my roommate is also here and can assist as well. Generally at least one of us are home, if we happen to both be out, it is one of us at work and the other headed home from work or we are running a quick errand. I also do have a vet reference that I am happy to share as well, we are well known at our vets office for our animals we take in from the streets and my dog with her health issues. (I do not have any animals from the streets in my home right now so no worries with sickness or anything, all of my animals are UTD on their vaccines.) **If you have multiple (more than 3) animals, please reach out and we can negotiate a price on the stay. I am a full time worker and I am also a part time (online) student. I have availability every day of the week, I can stay at your home or come to your home before and after my day job. I am able to care for animals in my home or in yours. I am open to anything that you normally do on a daily basis with your animals as to not cause a huge disruption to their daily schedule.

“Excellent job. Took great care of our babies, even left a note on the days events. We will use him again and highly recommend him.”


“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”


“Very happy with Lucinda’s care of Lilly. Sent pictures each day Will definitely be using Lucinda again!”


“Shannan was awesome with our babies. She took very good care of them! I could tell by all the pictures and videos they were in great hands and very happy❤️?❤️”


About: I love all animals but specialize in dog care. I watch my family and friends pets when they are out of town, including house sitting options where I stay in their home. We go on walks around the neighborhood or to the park. I'm pretty active with them as I enjoy being outside a lot. :) I work full time which leads my clients into the option of me staying in their home if they are gone overnight often. I also have the weekends off. If you need me to just drop by once or twice a day I can also fit that into my schedule most days except Mondays may be a bit challenging. I do not have a pet of my own because my current living situation does not allow for animals. Which is another reason why I want to pet-sit because I miss the presence and comfort of being around fur babies :) I usually stay in my clients house or will drop by 1-3x a day to ensure the animals go potty, have water and food. I am skilled in dog walking and leash handling. I am highly observant of the warning signs if an animal is in distress.

“Laura watched our dogs and cat for a week over Thanksgiving and did a fantastic job! She provided us updates and photos throughout the week, and we're already working on booking her next stay =)”

I keep my space clean and secure so they can relax and enjoy themselves. As a dog trainer I’m experienced with keeping pet routines to not only maintain consistent, as well as to reduce your pets stress when dealing with a stranger. When I’m in your home, I treat it with utmost care and respect. I strive to ensure timely updates about you pet while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.

15. Zoey B.
“I cannot recommend Zoey enough! She is truly the *best* dog sitter and walker we've ever had. She’s been walking and watching my two dogs for a while now, and I trust her completely. Both of my pups absolutely adore her-and that says a lot, because one of them is pretty shy and slow to warm up to people. She’s incredibly reliable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight stays, I know they’re in the best hands. I’ve even gotten sweet photo updates that make my day when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further. She’s a gem!”
