“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cat was calm and well cared for when I returned. Everything was neat and orderly in my house. She brought all my mail and packages inside as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Amanda was warm and caring immediately, so I knew my rabbit would like her company! He usually hides when new people are around but he came out and let her love on him during each visit. She kept me updated the whole time I was away and sent me pictures of my boy!! I felt at ease knowing Clyde was in her care. Thank you, Amanda!”

“Alexi is great! She is a very confident and knowledgeable sitter. It is clear that she truly cares for animals. One of my three cats has developed diabetes and now needs a shot twice daily. I was having trouble finding someone willing to care for her while I am away. Alexi has experience with this and was comfortable administering Jilly’s shots. I got updates and pictures through the whole process. Jilly let Alexi take care of her with no resistance. I will be asking for Alexi’s help whenever I need to be away!”


“Ellen is awesome! Was able to do the initial walk on short notice and you can tell immediately how much she loves animals. My 2 dogs loved her. She responds quickly and is flexible on her schedule. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommended.”


“Dylan did an excellent job taking care of my three kitties. He arrived each day as scheduled to feed them and clean out the litter box. He sent me pictures daily along with a nice update. I definitely recommend Dylan!”

“Great experience having Peyton check on my cat and gecko! She was friendly, on time and communicated great. Will definitely use her again. The whole process was easy and she made me feel better about being away.”

“Abigail was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond in every way. She kept me constantly updated with detailed messages and photos through Google, which gave me so much peace of mind. She gave my cat so much love and attention, and when he wasn’t feeling well, she even took him to the veterinarian herself — something I truly appreciated. She is reliable, caring, and incredibly responsible. I highly recommend her!”

“Highly recommend Nevaeh! I felt more at ease using this app for the first time and leaving my pups overnight. She provided updates and included pics every drop in. Would 100% use her again 🤍”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve raised my own dog since she was 2 months old until she was 12.5 and crossed the rainbow bridge in May of 2026. So I understand every stage from puppy energy to senior comfort. I also grew up with family dogs and have even helped two dogs deliver puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborns, mama dogs, and special care needs. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. As a bilingual toddler mom with a naturally nurturing style, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Your pet will get kindness, consistency, and the same level of attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a full-time single mom, and my son absolutely adores animals—we spend a lot of time outdoors, going for walks, playing, and staying active. Adding your dog to our routine is easy and enjoyable for us. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m already in a rhythm that allows your pet to get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In my home, pets follow a loving and consistent routine. I provide food twice a day (or according to your dog’s usual schedule), plenty of potty breaks, and a safe, cozy space to rest. My own dog has her own beds and crate, and visiting pets get the same comfort and structure. There’s lots of playtime, outdoor time, and of course plenty of hugs and attention. I make sure every dog feels relaxed, cared for, and included as part of the family. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine exactly—feeding times, walks, crate use, and any special instructions—so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I’ve had the joy of raising three large-breed dogs of my own and providing trusted care for countless others across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable with all temperaments and routines. I’m highly experienced in administering medications, including injections, and I always prioritize your pet’s health, safety, and happiness. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm cuddle, I provide the same love and attention I give my own. I'm 42 years old HR professional who has been working from home for over 10 years, live in Miami half of the year and in Uruguay the other half to get away from winters there :) My work allows me to keep pets company and walk them as I have a flexible work-schedule. I'm very caring, loving and clean Responsible and always care for pets as they are my own and give them lots of love, my reviews in other pet platforms have always been excellent and pets love me!

About: I’m a compassionate and dependable nurse with a lifelong love for animals.

I am new on this site, but not new to sitting. With my clinical background, I’m comfortable handling a variety of needs—from daily routines to more specialized care for. Whether you have cats or dogs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule which means I can accommodate your pet's routine(s).

About: 25 years of paws-on experience: Keeping your cats cozy and your dogs active—just like my own energetic Brittany! I've worked with puppies, as well as senior dogs, and love them all! Whether you need a daily power-walk or a weekend cuddler, I’ve got you covered. I currently work from home and spent time actively outdoors daily with my pup! We take morning, noon, and evening walks. Your dog can join my energetic Brittany Spaniel for a fun, socialized neighborhood adventure—great for 'social butterflies' who love to play as they walk. If your pup prefers a slower pace or one-on-one attention, I offer dedicated solo walks to ensure they get my undivided focus and care. When you hand over the leash or the keys to your home, you need absolute peace of mind. My 25 years of experience means I don't just love animals—I know how to keep them safe. From managing the unpredictable energy of puppies to ensuring a secure, stress-free environment for seniors and cats, I treat your pet's well-being as my ultimate responsibility. I don't currently have a yard, so spend a lot of time interacting with my babies outside on a leash or at my neighborhood dog parks with pups I know and trust.

Now that I’m retired, I miss the daily bond of working with dogs and want to dedicate my free time to keeping your furry family members safe, happy, and well-exercised. Why Choose Me? • Professional Handler Experience: My background as a K9 handler means I understand canine body language, pack dynamics, and training techniques better than most.

I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently retired and looking to fill my day by helping others and their pets when they need a trustworthy, friendly person. Thank you. I am currently not caring for pets at my home. I am willing to watch them at your home if needed and our schedules work.
“The very best pet and home sitter ever. Responsive. Supportive. Responsible. Can’t imagine a there is anyone more qualified than Caroline. She’s also in a cool degree at local college. Love this girl! 🙏🤙”

About: I grew up in an animal loving home- I’ve had dogs, cats, a bird & a rabbit. I’ve also cared for my family & friends dogs & cats of all ages- energetic puppies to older dogs and who need a gentler approach. I will treat your pet like my own.

Lakewood Ranch cat parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Camryn! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she looks after. She kept me updated throughout my trip, and I truly appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail, and the love she showed my pets. I will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Abby was super awesome with Goose! She gave timely updates and sent great pictures of him while we were away. She was very reliable, great with communicating, and did everything we asked to make sure Goose was thriving while we were away! I will continue to use Abby to care for Goose as long as she’s available!!!

Cameron did a few drop ins while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job at handing our crazy crew, including a puppy. I received tons of photos which eased my anxiety being away from them. She followed their routines and was always very responsive when messaging with me :)

Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated the entire time I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. The last sitter unfortunately left my house a mess, and Alexis had no issue helping clean up after her and making sure everything was taken care of while I was still out of town. I really appreciated her help and kindness. I definitely recommend her!

Dennis is a fantastic sitter. Very professional and super nice. I wanted to find a sitter that specialized in cats that way I felt more comfortable while on vacation. He made sure to send a text with pictures of Poptart to show how she was doing. If you have a cat that has medical needs he can also take care of that. Overall I'll definitely be using Dennis in the future and recommend to anyone with a cat to use his services.
