“Thank you for taking care of my little boy who doesn’t like anybody but his mama lol he’s such a little stinking pole cat, but I loving the pieces and thank you for taking such good care of him. Appreciate it so much you’re such a sweetheart.”
“Emily has shown amazing care for my older dog and my cat. She updated me frequently to let me know how they were doing with pictures and funny anecdotes. She brushed my long haired dog and ensured that I came home to a clean litter box at the end of my long trip. She is an excellent Rover and I will always choose to use her ! Thank you, Emily!”
“If there was an option for 10 stars, I’d do it!! Ana was a fantastic support to us. From the first inquiry, she was incredibly responsive and communicative. We did a meet and greet so that Ana and our pup, Lady, could get to know each other and they bonded immediately. Ana had two days of drop ins and every visit came with a thorough report and a fabulous array of photos. Our dog was SO well taken care of, played with, and loved on. Lady even learned a few new tricks! I can’t say enough good things about Ana, we just feel so fortunate to find such a trusted, kind, communicative, and thoughtful person to take care of our pup. Thank you, Ana!! Lady is so excited to see you again soon.”
“My pups and I all love Meagan! I have two shy dogs and the shyer one especially took to Meagan immediately. She’s so great with them and gives them all the love! Meagan gives my dogs the level of care that not only I as a dog mom would give them, but also as a full-time Rover sitter myself. I would highly recommend Meagan!”
“Our cats have pretty long hair and our boy tends to mat. Generally we keep his fur trimmed short for that reason but we haven’t been able to get it done for a while. We came home and Brian has brushed whatever mats that were there. He clearly cares about these guys. He also took care of our plants and the house looked great. Thanks Brian! Always 5 stars!”
About: I've had at least one cat every year of my life, and I get the anxiety that can come with having to leave them at home. They're self sufficient little things, but it's always nice to know there's someone checking in on them for the daily needs. I have odd hours, typically sleep around 8 am, then I'm up around 3-4 pm, so my availability is odd but I'm hoping the schedule can be helpful for some people. I'm no stranger to feeding, watering, and taking care of litter boxes. And I understand every cat has a different personality, so if the cat needs space I understand, but if they need attention I will gladly give it.
About: I’m an animal lover! I have always been around animals my whole life from dogs, cats, donkeys and goats. You can trust me to love your fur babies while you are away and take care of their needs. I'll make sure they're fed, watered, given potty breaks, taken on walks, and anything else you request I do for them while you're away. I'm currently working from home with a very flexible schedule where I'm able to get extra steps in taking dogs for walks. I'm also very open on the weekends. I have a fenced yard that is wide open and plently of room for your fur baby to run around and get some energy out.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, not just dogs and cats! I am energetic but also patient, especially when it comes to our furry family members. I have experience caring for more special needs animals whether it’s medical issues or behavioral, kittens/puppies, and seniors! I am currently working part-time so I have open availability on Mondays and Tuesdays during the day from early morning to late afternoon to care for your pets! I have a cat and dog of my own. My dog is crate trained and stays in her kennel when I am not home. My cat is indoor only and has freedom to roam the house. Daily walks and playtime are a must!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my connection with them runs deep. I’m currently the proud owner of Coconut, a gentle and affectionate Great Pyrenees who has completely stolen my heart. She’s a daily reminder of how special the bond between a person and their dog can be—and that’s the kind of love and care I extend to every pup I meet. I currently work full-time on weekdays Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm so weekends typically work best for overnights. I can do walks and feedings after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Depending on the needs of your dog, I can play with them outside, take them for a walk/run, or if they're old just give them plenty of love and attention.
“Katherine was fantastic with both our cats! She was extremely polite and asked detailed questions before we left that showed she genuinely had their best care in mind. We received timely updates with photos every day, and we always felt at ease that they were in good hands. Katherine is now our go-to pet sitter!”
About: I have grown up always having pets in the house. We had a dog and multiple cats in our home! I have been around pups of all sizes and I love them all dearly. I rescued my pup about 8 months ago and he is turning 1 soon🥲 He has definitely taught me a lot about patience and training when it comes to dogs! I also visit my local animal shelter frequently to volunteer/ take some of the dogs out for a morning walk. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for walks + visits for potty breaks! My current living situation does not allow for me to board pets in my home. I have a high energy pup of my own, so I feel like I have learned how to properly handle most any situation a dog could throw at me! I frequently walk & play with other dogs at the local shelter as well.
About: Welcome to your pet's lakeside retreat! I have extensive pet care experience from being a foster for a local rescue organization and giving special needs care so you know your fur-baby is safe. We treat every animal like our own, giving them each individual attention. Our cat & dog have been exposed to many animals through fostering and would love to make friends with yours. I've worked with all types of animals - special needs, 3-legged, injured, recently spayed/neutered, scared, calm, high energy, small, large, etc. I can give your pet their prescribed shots, pills, or ointments. We both work from home Monday - Friday 9-5 and can make sure your pet's needs and schedule is met. This makes it easy for us to let out the dogs as needed throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard overlooking Lake Worth so your pup will have plenty to look at and enjoy. In the mornings we spend time with our dog outside watching the sun rise over the lake. We have a big sandbox for the dogs to dig in and lots of space for them to run around, make grass angels, or sunbathe. Casino Beach is a big park in my neighborhood & great for daily walks. This is the place not just for boarding, but for fun for your dog! There's tons of wildlife, sailboats to watch, and a nice breeze. We'll have a meet & greet beforehand to make sure we're a good fit. If you have any questions, even if you're not ready to book, shoot me a message & we'll discuss. Welcome to our lakeside retreat and I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! My husband and I work from home, giving us the flexibility to spend time with & care for your pups. If one of us ever has to go into the office, the other will make sure to stay home. I have a fenced yard with 2 Great Pyrenees happy to keep your dog company. 1 is ours who isn't crated and the other is a sweet foster dog who is crated at night. We also have 1 cat. We'll take care of your pets as if they're our own, just like we do with our foster dogs.

Allie L.
“Allie tends to win over every cat she meets. A friend said that her cat was skittish and we probably wouldn't see her. Within 5 minutes, I found Allie in the floor with said cat purring, making biscuits on her lap as she pet her. Another friend mentioned that her old grumpy cat would be stand-offish. I then pointed to Allie sitting next to and petting said cat. She has owned cats for most of her life and I have personally seen how well she cares for them and how much she loves them.”

She walked him multiple times a day, sent me updates, gave him treats, and even cared for his teeth while we were gone! She has a few pets of her own and even though my dog is a little nervous around other dogs she made sure he was always comfortable.
