About: Hello I’m Danielle! I love animals with all my heart I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I treat every dog like my own. I pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and comfort so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you never have to wonder how your animal is doing. I follow instructions carefully, feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules because I know consistency matters for dogs. I would love your animals like I love my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me :) I’m currently unemployed and I’m a stay at home mom. I do have a 3 year old but my schedule is pretty flexible. I don’t have a fence in yard but I could just walk your dog there’s plenty of space here. I do have a two cats but there super friendly with dogs and other animals.
About: I’ve always believed that no two animals are exactly alike, and that’s one of my favorite things about caring for them! Whether it’s a curious puppy learning the ropes, a high energy dog that wants to run around and play, or a senior pet who needs a gentler approach and patience with a lot of care and attention, or a shy kitty who takes a little time to warm up, I really do enjoy discovering what makes each animal unique. My experience caring for my own pets and those of family and friends has really helped me to be observant, adaptable, and patient with different personalities and needs. I’m happy to make room for all kinds of pet personalities, from the playful little troublemakers to the quiet companions who simply enjoy having someone nearby. I also appreciate the importance of consistency with basic puppy training, feeding instructions, and special care routines. I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to every pet I meet, and I love finding little ways to make their day more enjoyable, whether that means playtime, gentle companionship, or letting them explore at their own pace. Ultimately, I want to be the sitter whose name makes you feel relieved to see on your schedule because you know your pet will be in caring, capable hands. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet, earn their trust, and become someone you’re happy to call on again and again! 💗 and small fun facts, i've helped taken care of exotic pets like snakes, and turtles, and you're more likely pets like ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies! i also know pet CPR in cases of emergencies for cats and dogs! I'm currently a nursing student but I am available from friday-saturday all day and sunday after 1pm! I am able to take care of your furry friends practically from early mornings to late nights if needed! While caring for pets in their own abode, i strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their usual routines! (especially since i'll be a new face for them). I completely understand that each and every pet has their own unique preferences, needs, and personalities and I am able to quickly adapt to them to provide efficient and effective personalized care! Following the owners provided instructions carefully no matter what it may entail so that your fur baby gets all the proper care and attention they deserve, but the key to all of this is upmost respect to the family and home and patience to take care of them. My goal is that every pet parent to have peace of mind knowing that their furry companion is in caring and responsible hands, and i'll gladly send / upload photos and videos so you can see how your baby is doing throughout the day!
About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.

About: I have always loved animals from a young age. I have two cats of my own, Bean & Gator :) I’m currently caring for numerous clients including the Penix family’s (as in Micheal Penix, starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons!) I’ve decided to expand my clientele over to Rover! I have years of experience walking, feeding, bathing/grooming, etc all sorts of different house & farm animals. I specialize in day-to-day care but I also am more than qualified to administer medications, bottle feed, and take special care for newborn and senior pets. I’m a Veterinary Technician working in Dade City with two pets of my own, lots of space in my home for private rooms for boarding, and a clean and spacious front/back yard. I look forward to meeting you & your furbaby!! 💞 I spend everyday with my two cats, along with working a few days a week at a veterinary clinic where i’m learning more and more each day on how to provide optimal care for animals. I have an additional room in my home to provide a private space for your pet which is completely sanitized after each guest. I provide treats of all different types for everyone’s pallet and dietary needs. I have a reliable source of transportation to ensure I can be there for your loved one. I have multiple sizes of leashes for walks, crates for any anxious or needing pets and plenty of toys and time to keep them entertained.
About: What sets me apart from a lot of others. is my years of working hands on with hundreds of dogs in my career as a dog professional. I also got to spend 11 years, loving and caring for 2 of the sweetest rescues anyone could have ever been blessed to have in their lives. My home sits empty now and is set up to accommodate your beloved furry friends. The majority of my experience is with dogs. I have been around cats but have never owned one. Working with and being around mans best friend has always been a rewarding passion of mine. Now that my 2 best friends have passed over the Rainbow bridge, I would like to share my home with some new furry friends for the part time. Although I'm not ready for another dog of my own, my heart is open to being a part time care taker of your best friend or friends. Over nights your dog will have run of the house and be welcomed and well looked after. I also have an Amazon "Echo Show" that is great for video drop in's to say hello to your friend. I'm still currently working as a professional pet groomer but I work from home outside in my old mobile grooming unit. I'm home all day on work days and available to give potty breaks. I do work 1 part time job away from home 1 day a week for 5 to 6 hours but I'm only 1 mile from home. Any other thing you would like to know, please ask. Thanks Maci I live alone in an older house, i dont have a back yard to offer but im always available for walking. In my years of working with dogs, their safety and security have been at the top of my priority list. After all, you're hiring me for this very thing, to care, look after and keep safe your best friends or friend. Your dog or dogs, if staying with me would be the only dogs with me. I would not feel comfortable having more than one pack at a time. While I'm really good with dogs, I'm no dog whisper.
About: I used to work at an animal hospital. And I used to work out a dog at daycare. I’m trying to start my own animal sitting job. I’m trying to save up the money to go back to school to be a vet veterinarian technician to work in the animal hospital again. The pet car fit into my daily and weekly routine is because I take care of four dogs at home. I love working with animals and I want to have my own doggy daycare one day. How I care for pets in my home is feeding them, playing with them, taking them out walking them. I love taking care of animals.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lecanto choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
