“Ruth was awesome!!! My kitties didnt sem stressed or neglected when i got back and their area was clean. I also love that she sent photos each day. I plan on using Ruth again. Thanks so much!!!!”

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“A huge lifesaver. They were able to feed and visit with my gfs dog and give me peace of mind for the morning. They were very communicative and sent a great photo of him.”

“We were nervous to have someone come take care of our dog while we went on vacation but Kaylee did an outstanding job. She is very reliable and texts when she is on the way. I would definitely recommend to everyone.”

“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”


“My first time using rover I was nervous bc my sheltie is not the best with strangers but she managed to befriend him and my two crazy corgis she went above and beyond taking care of my babies and even bringing in a few packages and helping with my outdoor cat I cannot recommend her enough we will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future”

“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

About: I love to be able to care and provide happiness to all animals, being able to give them love and take care of their needs while their fur parents are at work is an honor. I am currently available Monday through Sunday. I request at least one day’s advance notice for both bookings and cancellations. For hours between 11 pm and 6 am, I would prefer two days’ notice, but I am flexible. I find it very important to have a set routine and schedule for my own pets to give them a safe and comfortable life that sets them up for success.
About: I have lots of hands on experiences in pet care by working with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have volunteer experience with my local animal shelter, where I had to take multiple training classes in order to start working. I learned proper dog supervision, safe handling techniques, and how to teach young puppies basic commands. I've also dog sat for friends on many occasions. I grew up with dogs in my home my whole life and personally training our newest puppy now. Because of my shelter experience, I am confident in adjusting my approach to fit each dog's personality. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time away from classes to give your dog the love they deserve. As a college student, I am flexible in finding a time to care for your pet's needs with guaranteed availability after 2pm on weekdays with the occasional opening in later morning, just let me know. Weekends I am available anytime. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! (Please Note: For summer break, I will be changing my availability location to Sarasota, FL until August. Thank you for your understanding.) I can efficiently follow instructions given, respect the privacy of your home, and ensure walks at your dog's comfortable pace. I understand dogs are like family and will treat them just like my own.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a dog and two cats and honestly, I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a furry friend by my side. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, from family pets to farm animals, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. Now that I’m a college student, I really miss having animals around, so I’m excited to share my love and care with your pets! Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll always make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved! I am currently in a social work graduate program that meets on Monday and Tuesday evenings, but other than that my schedule is incredibly flexible! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two friendly cats (who can easily be separated if needed), a screened-in patio perfect for lounging, and access to a dog park and safe walking trail nearby. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I’m comfortable following any specific care routines or instructions you provide, and I’m also very intuitive when it comes to understanding an animal’s needs and emotions. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to make them feel secure while you’re away, I’m happy to provide that love and attention.
About: I’ve walked dogs around my neighborhood for the past four years. I have lots of experience with animals— I personally have many different animals such as dogs, cats, and others! I’ve had experience in the veterinary field and want to pursue the veterinary field and become a licensed veterinarian! I am free for whenever is needed! I am hoping to head over to college soon but in the mean time work up some cash! I have been walking dogs around my own neighborhood around four years now. I treat the animals week, in which they are safe and happy!
“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”


“Luciano was great! He was very responsive and communicative. Our dogs loved him! As a fellow Rover sitter, I am picky as to who comes into my home and even more picky with who takes care of our fuzzy crew when we need extra help. I will absolutely use him again and whole heartedly recommend him!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been their primary caregiver. Over the past few years, I’ve raised and trained my sister’s puppy, gaining valuable hands-on experience in structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. As a senior nursing student who values responsibility and attention to detail, I bring the same level of care and reliability to your pet. I love staying active and would be honored to care for and walk your furry family member. I’d love to connect! I currently only have classes one day a week and am very flexible. I prefer afternoon or evening walks if that is possible, but can adjust! I care for every pet as if they were my own, focusing on safety, routine, and plenty of love. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime while keeping your home secure and tidy. I provide updates for peace of mind and always ensure leashes, doors, and gates are safely secured. If need be I can take them over to my house off of Lake Hollingsworth with a fenced in backyard, but overall I will work around your preferences!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)
Lake Hunter Terrace pet parents share their Rover experiences
I recently had Sia cat sit for my cat, Mylo, and she was fantastic. Sia came to my home each evening, feeding him, letting him enjoy some time on the back porch, and giving him company. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She sent quick updates and was punctual every day, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, Mylo was relaxed and happy clear signs he’d been well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Sia absolutely did. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring cat sitter.

Katherine is our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! As someone who feels anxiety leaving their pets in someone’s care, I can finally enjoy my time away from home because she takes such great care of them. She takes lots of fun pictures of their time together and my dogs love when she comes to play. I cannot recommend her enough!
