I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!

About: I am currently on a pre veterinarian track at Jacksonville University. I have always loved working with animals from the zoo to vet clinics to my own animals. I have always loved to spend time with animals which is why I have decided to sign up for rover. I would love to express my passion and help others have complete comfort when leaving their furry friend. I want my clients to know they’re with someone who is passionate & experienced with all that is needed for their pets care. At home I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bunnies, and 2 guinea pigs! Everyday I experience hands on experience with pets feeding, cleaning, walking, and best of all giving them lots of love! At my clients home I make sure I go above and beyond to care for your pets! I will always be sure to make sure I clean up any mess, give your animal lots of love and comfort, and make sure all their energy is out whether that is throwing the ball outside, walks, or runs!

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.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born. I've always loved to spend time with them and have been responsible of feeding, cleaning, and grooming them ever since I can remember. I have a full-time job right now, but was looking to spend my free time doing something I enjoy and I cound imagine any time better spent than with the friendliest creatures I can think of: dogs. I keep my dogs in my house all the time so they are always surrounded by us and are constantly being cared for and entertained.

About: My mission is to provide compassionate, dependable, and personalized care that allows pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving their families complete peace of mind. Every visit is built on kindness, trust, and treating each pet like a member of our own family. Currently living with a cat, but she will be behind closed door, in the master bedroom during visits or boarding. I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate regular daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting requests based on client needs and availability. For recurring dog walking clients, I typically schedule visits within consistent time windows (such as mid-morning or early afternoon), which helps maintain your pet’s routine and reduces stress. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I will coordinate a schedule in advance to ensure your pet receives reliable care and attention while you are away. I respond to messages promptly and will always communicate clearly if I am unavailable or if my schedule is full for a specific time period. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes or during walks, which allows pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort level before beginning care. I ensure all doors and entry points are secure at all times, and I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any chance of escape. I do not allow off-leash outdoor time unless explicitly approved by the owner and in a fully secure area. I maintain a clean environment by properly handling food areas, litter boxes, and any pet-related messes during each visit. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will immediately communicate any concerns to the owner. Trust and respect are very important to me. I treat every home with care, privacy, and professionalism, as if it were my own.
