“Gracia is wonderful! This was our first time having someone stay with our dogs that they (and us) didn’t know prior and it worked out great. Our dogs took an immediate shine to Gracia and she took excellent care of them. 10 out of 10 would recommend her and we will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

“We can’t thank Lindsay enough for staying in our home and taking good care of our senior dog. We received a daily update and felt reassured by the communication. We came home after a 3 week trip to find Moon healthy and in good spirits and the house in good orders.. We recommend Lindsay and will definitely book her again.”

About: Dogs have always been in my life. I love dogs and I absolutely love working with dogs. I’ve worked professionally with over 2000 dogs. I began my career as a canine professional in late 2019. Over the years I’ve obtained many canine care certifications including canine psychology and canine CPR I’m both certified and experienced in agility, obedience, service dog and ESA training. In 2023 I began my career as groomer/pro bather. I absolutely love working in the grooming salon. It’s such a fun job! Overall being able to work with these beautiful animals has been the best experience of my life and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon. I have a very flexible schedule and pet care is my main focus daily. Dogs are my life. During overnight visits I may need to work at shift or two at Petsmart otherwise I’ll be available and with your dog the entire time you’re away. I do not ever allow other dogs or people in your home or around your dogs. Your dog’s safety is always my number one priority. I’m trained and experienced in monitoring dogs for critical and non critical signs of stress, signs of seizures, unusual behavior and other identifying signs that your dog may need medical attention. When I’m in home I treat it with respect and I clean up after myself daily. Household activities such as trash disposal, mail and delivery collection and watering plants are included. My goal is for you to return to a happy dog and your exactly the way you left it.

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.

“Teri took great and loving care of my dog for 12 days. She went on long walks and took him to a variety of dog parks every day which he loved. Teri is a great communicator and sent pictures every day. She took great care of my home as a house sitter as well. I have booked her again for dog & house sitting in the future as I was very happy with her dedication and care for my dog and home.”

About: I am a dog mom myself of a (spoiled rotten) German Shepherd named Lyla. She’s taught me so many valuable lessons that helped me care for others animals as well. I have knowledge about breeds and their specific needs. I will go above and beyond for your four legged child! I have pet care routine daily with my dog at home! I also assist my sister with care for her brand new 8 week old kitten. I always make sure my dog is happy and comfortable with her surroundings. The same goes for others pets! (Of course with your consent) I will always take your dog on fun trips to the pet store, bake yummy homemade treats fit to their needs and allergies, etc. I will always make sure that your dog/cat is comfortable with their surroundings and get plenty of love while their favorite humans are away!

“Above & Beyond!!! Thank you so much Corinne!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️

“I hired Anver to take care of my 5 year old maltipoo for 4 days while I was visiting family in PA. I had been very impressed with her reviews on Rover, and I knew from the moment we did the meet and greet that she was the one for Tucker! He bonded with her instantly, and her kind personality made him feel very comfortable. He was very upset when she had to leave that day lol!! I left her a long note since this was the 1st time I had left my fur baby with someone from Rover, and she followed it without any problem. She does work part time, but she was able to work her schedule around him. If she was getting to my house a little later than expected, she always let me know. She sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I never worried how he was doing. He slept with her and he looked so content; he doesn't even do that with me!! She is very respectful and sweet. I was so impressed with how gentle she was with Tucker. He looked happy and healthy when I came home; I was almost worried he would be sad it was me and not her!! She brought in the mail and stripped the guest room bed! She washed all her dishes and I found the house in the same condition I left it. She is studying to be a vetinary technician, and I think she will be an excellent one!! I am so impressed with her that I hired her again for a trip I'm taking in 2 weeks!! I would highly recommend Amber to stay with your pets. She is a very caring and responsible pet sitter and I know you will not be disappointed!!”
