“We are incredibly happy with Willow. She took such excellent care of Bella and sent us photos and messages every day. I would definitely request Willow again and highly recommend her to others. She is intelligent and friendly and great with our Bella!”


About: I’ve spent over 15 years in the pet care world, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of settings — from veterinary clinics and kennels to long-term boarding facilities, doggy daycares, and canine training, including work with both gentle companions and those with behavioral challenges. At home, I share my life with two Australian Shepherds and three other wonderful dogs. To me, pets are far more than just animals — they’re family. The bond we share with them is one of life’s greatest rewards, and I believe their physical and mental well-being is the foundation for that special connection. Every tail wag, happy bark, and content sigh reminds me why I do what I do. Pet care is my full-time passion and priority, which means I’m available to meet your pet’s needs any time — day or night, seven days a week. I have a large, secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to play and help keep visiting pups engaged and happy. If your dog prefers a quieter pace, I’m always ready for one-on-one time — whether that’s playing, going for walks, running, hiking, exploring, or simply snuggling. No pet should ever feel unwanted, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.

“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”


“First, huge thank you to Rose for watching our babies. I have a dog and cat, Rose house sat with them for 2 weeks while we were away. the pets were WELL taken care of. we got constant photos from her to ensure we knew the babies were OK. the house looked great when we came back and out pets didn't seem stressed at all. we saw them fetching, snuggled in, and we'll taken care of anytime we checked in. would recommend for overnights or short walks”


“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”


About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was young, grew up with more pets then I can count on both hands and they always needed attention. I am free for many hours of the day, and can take care of pets from the crack of dawn till the wee hours of night I can provide your pet with all of the usual pet care help, including walking, sitting, playing, feeding and I can help with some small grooming or bathing if needed.

“Roni was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. I have 2 large dobermans and she disciplined, cared and loved on them with ease. She is brilliant! She was constantly in contact with me sending images etc and she is a wonderful person.”


“Laura K. was great she showed up on time, took care of my GiGi and her litter of 6. They were fed, given medication and my home was secured when I returned. She sent me updated and photos throughout her stay. I will call on her again, and again.”


“Chrissy accepted a very last minute request to watch two of my dogs. She took time to do the meet and greet even though it was last minute. Chrissy was wonderful and will definitely recommend. You can tell she has a love of animals and that shows in how she cared for them. She communicated often and send lots of pics while we were away. Thank you Chrissy!”


About: Before moving, I use to work at UF vet hospital as an assistant and technician. While working there I would house-sit and pet-sit for the doctors I worked with. I have been in the animal field for at least 3 years and continue to be in this field. I also have experience in primary care. I have two pups of my own. I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to watch over your loved fur-ones. I’m free majority of weekends and mostly the week days. I live in an apartment so having them over will be a little challenging but I’m happy to work with it. I have two dogs who are friendly and love making friends. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am happy to keep them all the company.

About: Hi there! I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic pups and cuddly cats to chatty parakeets and even a hedgehog or two! I’ve personally cared for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 parakeets, providing each with a loving, attentive home. Over the years, I’ve also looked after countless pets for friends and family, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or something in between, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I specialize in multi-pet households and understand how to balance different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime in the yard, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure each one feels safe, seen, and loved. With me, your pets get a caregiver who’s full of positive energy, patience, and a whole lot of heart. As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a large portion of my day to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need to feel happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them like family. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide the most comfortable and familiar environment possible. In the client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and your pet’s usual schedule, whether that means feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time with them. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your pets), and make sure everything is just as you left it.


“Carrie was amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for the week. She came for a meet and greet and then did a couple walks beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable. I got lots of photos while we were away. Both dogs seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves! Carrie even washed all of her linens and re-made the bed before we got home, and the house was left just as clean (if not cleaner!) when we got back. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!”


About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time, however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby. Have a fenced-in yard at home with security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 4-year-old German shepherd who is calm and well-trained.

About: I love doggies! I always have and always will. I work near my house, so I get to visit home in the afternoons. I walk my fur-baby in the mornings, afternoons and at night. I communicate with clients throughout the day when pets are in my care. I can text photos of your fur-baby during the day to let you know that they just finished a walk. All in all, just know that your fur-baby will be in great hands and will receive great love and attention. I do ask for drop off time 6am to 7am on weekdays, weekends are flexible. I get lunch breaks about 2pm to 3pm. Monday through Friday I'm home by 7pm. Mostly, all my weekends are open. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of outdoor space in my small neighborhood. One 5lb shitzu who is very vocal and playful. Zora is sweet and shy; sometimes nervous in the first hour or so but once she is comfortable she is very loving. I have an empty spare room for privacy if needed for your fur-baby.

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

“Sebrina was very responsive and able to set up a last minute meet and greet and help us with our lab when our dog sitter fell through. Our lab Zoey loved her ! She was on time and sent us great updates and pictures would definitely recommend her !”


About: I’m Natalie. My husband & I live on 1 acre that is fenced in. We have chickens, and a friendly great pyreneese. We are active & enjoy the outdoors. We love to be home doing projects and enjoying our garden. You can feel safe leaving your pet with us. We love animals and will do whatever it takes to care for your pet. We are so excited to be able to serve you and do whatever you need to take care of your pet while you are gone. Thank you for considering us to take care of your precious family member. I am a SAHM with several pets so it is already a part of my day to be caring for my pets. I would love to add your pet in. I love to care for my pets. They are a part of my everyday life. I am so happy to care for your pet as closely to the way you do.

About: *NOTE* if you are looking for a house sitter, you can book that for me to stay at your house for longer periods of time than the drop ins, but I do not offer overnight stays with clients anymore due to some bad experiences. About me: My family has had animals ever since I was born, from dogs and birds to cows and chickens. I have my own dogs now, Timber (age 10) and Kona (age 7). I will take care of your precious pup(s) as I do my own. I currently work full time as a teacher, so I am gone during the day Monday - Friday. However, once I'm home, I'm able to go for walks, play fetch, and tend to your pup in whatever way needed. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby comfortable. I live in a house, a large fenced in yard. I prefer to crate dogs when I am not home, so please bring a crate if you are able to.

Chase M.
“Chase pet sitted for my cats Victoria and Nightshade. I was gone for a whole week out of state and a bit anxious to leave my cats alone for such a long time. He fed them, groomed them, played with them and even cleaned the litter boxes beautifully. Victoria hates new people and she tends to scratch new folks so when she didn't do that with Chase; I knew immediately that he was a good fit for the job and would highly recommend him to watch and take care of your animals. He was amazing with my boy nightshade as well, he cuddled with nightshade because nightshade is a cuddler and loves to at least have some cuddle time. He'd facetime me so my fur babies could see and hear my voice. Would hire him again immediately for the job of doing house sitting if I needed to leave for a long duration again :)”

Aniyah H.
“We had such a great experience with Aniyah! Shr provided drop-in visits and walks for our three pups, Percy (our sweet senior), Luna, and Pepper, and handled each of their unique needs with so much care and attention. She was incredibly patient with Percy, making sure he moved at his own pace, and gave Luna and Pepper plenty of playtime and exercise to burn off their energy. We loved getting daily updates and photos. It was clear our dogs were happy and comfortable, and that gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found someone so reliable and compassionate. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
