“Christian was amazing with our puppies. This was the first time we were leaving them alone after 14 months and left her so many instructions to house sit our puppies. Christian followed all of them and sent us a whole bunch of pictures that were very appreciated! We came back home to happy doggies and a clean home. We’re definitely using her services again.”


“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!”


“There’s never a worry when we go away because Crystal has become part of our extended family for housesitting and pet care! Having a reliable house sitter and Pet sitter makes travel enjoyable. I never worry!”


“Ligia was amazing!! I was a little nervous how my dog would act around someone new watching her, but Ligia took great care of her!! I would definitely recommend Ligia to anyone and I will definitely be using her again.”


“So polite and professional. Took amazing care of my baby. Will be booking again.”


“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”


“Pam is wonderful. She is not only reliable and communicative with me, but she is most importantly terrific with my pups. Both Clarence and Mary seemed to love her on sight. She worked well with me when our plans changed and was always agreeable. Pam is everything one hopes for as a house-sitter, pet-sitter. She cared for my home in a way that was respectful and consistent, but most of all, she cared for my furbabies. Thanks, Pam! We know we will reach out again! Best, Whitney”


“Very pleased with the 2 weeks that she watched our 70 pound 9 month old puppy. Our return flights were 2 days late and she was very flexible and accommodated our needs. Several people in our neighborhood said they frequently saw her taking our dog for a walk and all seemed going well. She frequently sent updates and pictures.”


About: Life long animal lover. Cat owner since Elementary school. Currently have 3. All different breeds. I have experience with dogs too as I used to have 2 Labs. I often dog sit for my friends on weekends so figured I'd give this a go as well. Love meeting new pets I have lots of free time on the weekends and love going on walks whether its hot or cold. Most evenings in my work week are free. Pretty flexible if there are some pop up opportunities. I just love hanging out with animals in my free time. Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!

“Sandra and her daughter were great with my dog! They kept me updated and made sure he got lots of love and playtime. I felt at ease the entire time. Would definitely book again!”

“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.”


“We are absolutely thrilled with Toree!! My dogs pulled me aside & begged for her to be one of our regular sitters. They loved her so much! She took great care of my babies, was kind, patient, & attentive. We had an unexpected family emergency & she was incredibly helpful. We are so thankful we found Toree 🐶”


“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.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently own a playful Golden Doodle and a loyal Pit Bull.

“Dani was wonderful to work with and made our trip so much better knowing the dogs were having a great time! ❣️”


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.

“Kyla did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was very quick to respond and asked great questions to prepare herself for our dogs needs. We appreciate you Kyla!”
