About: I’ve been volunteering at animal rehab facilities since I was 10 and I’ve worked my way up to wildlife internships in the amazon rainforest just last year, so I have plenty of experience with animals from household pets to less common exotics ! Household pets I have most experience in are Cats, Dogs, Small mammals and Reptiles and I’m well educated in proper cleaning, meal preparation and grooming. I have a heart for animals and i can’t wait to meet yours! 😊🐶 I’m currently managing a temporary health setback and seem to have a lot of time on my hands! I’m available 9 am - 12a during the week and weekends is full availability to keep your pet safe and entertained. I have a fenced in yard and screened porch and I only let my cat roam leashed under close supervision so that he doesn’t get into anything and I didn’t notice. I Always ask what the owner is comfortable with whether it’s crating or going on walks around the yard prior but I also understand some pets need more attention than others and that’s okay! I never have anything toxic in reach and keep my house stocked with plenty of toys and treats to keep your pet happy and healthy.


“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”


About: I've rescued and cared for six dogs, three became mine. And I' ve dog-sat for friends & family for decades. Dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and exprienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for critters is my heart & soul. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.

About: Hi, I am Cindy! I’m a passionate pet lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends.

From playtime to snuggles and keeping up with their routine, I’m here to ensure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how much pets mean to their families, which is why I prioritize communication, sending daily updates, and photos, so you always know your pet is in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving caregiver for your furry family member, I would love to meet you and your pet! Details I have my husband Chris on my account because awhile back we used to be able to take pets in our home. We have recently moved to Inverness and no longer have a fenced yard so we have discontinued that service for now. He does not accompany me for housesitting but he may stop by to bring me dinner once in awhile. Rest assured he has also been fully screened through Rover. We still have a demanding Lucky (our cat) at home that needs him. I know life can be unpredictable, which is why I am available 24/7 to care for your pets whenever you need me. Whether it’s an last minute trip, planned vaction, just an overnight stay, or an extended trip, I am here to provide flexible and reliable care tailored to your schedule. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I am always ready to adapt to their routine, ensuring they feel safe and loved no matter the time of day. Let’s work together to make sure your furry friend gets the care they deserve, whenever you need it! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I strive to provide a calm, secure, and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine to the letter, ensuring they feel safe and secure in their familiar surroundings. I am committed to treating your home with respect and keeping it just as you left it. I take trust seriously, providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you’ll always know your furry family member is well cared for. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or sticking to special instructions, I am here to give you peace of mind and your pet the love and care they deserve.

About: I’ve had and cared for all species of animals my whole life. From lizards, to chickens, to even water buffalo. I cannot imagine my life without animals I work from home so I can make my own schedule. I have my own critters to take care of so I’m always out and about At home I take care of my critters 2x a day. My horses I only have to feed once a day but I still drive by to get my eyes on them. I like to see my animals and make sure everyone is ok at least 2x a day

“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and house while we were away! She kept me posted with pictures and updates every few hours. I would highly recommend her! So happy to have found Jessica. She's exactly what we were hoping for in a trusted pet-sitter.”


About: Additional fee of $1.5 Per mile if you’re more than 10 miles away from me I have to take Lyft to get to you. No pick up and drop off fee will be applied if you’re in walking distance. Hey there! I’m Yaritza if that’s to hard for you to pronounce you can just call me Rover, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. I’ve been a dog enthusiast since I was 10 years old—basically a lifetime of wagging tails and slobbery kisses! I have a guide dog who thinks she’s the real boss around here, and she’s always ready to make new friends (just as long as they don’t steal her treats). With 14 years of experience wrangling cats and 12 years of dog adventures under my belt, I’m well-versed in the art of pet pampering. I love walking and playing with dogs, whether they’re zooming around like puppies or taking it easy like wise old sages. I’ve even house-sat for senior dogs, and let me tell you, they know how to live the good life! While I don’t drive, I’ve mastered the fine art of navigating with my guide dog and making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companions I currently have a flexible schedule since I’m not working, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and give them all the love they need. I'm happy to help out on holidays or weekends, too! I believe that good communication with pet owners is key, so I’m always here to chat and make sure we’re on the same page. I will wake up anywhere from 7 to 9 am and give everyone breakfast and medications if needed. Can get up earlier if your pet requires me too for their daily routine. If a walk is In their schedule, I will do that first before breakfast then depending on how tired they are they will wait for half an hour to an hour before having their breakfast. This is due to the heat so they’re walking as early as possible. If your pet is on a different schedule, of course I will follow that so please make sure you provide your pets schedule and medications otherwise they will use the schedule I have below *Water is provided throughout the day unless resting after walks. *The rest of the times that are not outlining the schedule or spent either playing your pet or cuddling with them whichever they prefer *7-8 am Early walk to avoid the heat *7-8 breakfast and bathroom break meds if need if they didn’t need a walk if they went on a walk depending on how tired they are I will have them wait for half an hour to an hour before breakfast *10am-12pm bathroom break *2-4pm bathroom break *5-6pm dinner meds if need *7-8pm short walk if not dark outside. *10pm bedtime Pet safety is my top priority, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your furry friends are in good hands. When dogs are in my care, they will always be leashed to ensure their safety and to help prevent any unexpected adventures! As someone with a disability, I take extra care in handling your pets, especially when it comes to taking them for walks. I believe that a smooth and safe experience for both the pet and the caregiver is essential. To further enhance their safety and identification, I will change their collars to Martindale collars with bells. These collars not only look great but also help keep track of your pets, especially if they decide to explore a bit too much! When your pets are in their own home, the only change will be the collars, so they can feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to keep to their routines, so I will be diligent about following their schedules and any specific needs you may have. Communication is key, so I’m always open to discussing any additional preferences you have to ensure your pets feel happy and safe while I care for them.

Samantha W.

“As Samantha's friend of more than 20 years and as a veterinarian, I can assure anyone who asks that she is one of the most dedicated animal advocates I have known. I have seen it myself watching her relationships with her own pets unfold, and I have witnessed it professionally from the time we worked together years ago, and throughout her career since. Loving animals is part of being a pet owner, but recognizing our responsibility as pet owners is another level of care that not everyone understands. Sam lives by it and finds joy in providing our animals what they need every day. Add to it a career filled with of accolades demonstrating her professionalism and expertise in her field, you can't ask for a better caregiver. I only wished she lived closer to watch my fur kids! How lucky they would be...”
