Jasmine was the best cat sitter I have had since getting my cats 3 years ago. I really appreciated her filling out the Rover Cards each visit and sending me pictures. It really helped my anxiety about being away from home. She also was very patient with my kitties who took a little bit of time to want to play and they got a lot more comfortable by the end of the 12 days. I would definitely contact her again

Mckenzie has watched my dog multiple times and she does a great job with it. She take my dog on runs lets it out and plays with it a ton. It is very nice to come home to a dog that is very tired and relaxed. Would highly recommend Mckenzie.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and lived with pets my entire life. I have helped my friends dog sit through this app and decided to join myself! I live in a popular neighborhood area, within walking distance of local trails/park, and have a fenced in back yard where I currently live. I love taking my son on adventures and can't wait to bring your furry friends along with us for the ride! My most memorable experience with a dog was when I was a little girl and we just got two peekapoo pups, one was attached to me by the hip and ill never forget running around in my backyard playing and if any other person tried running or playing with him he would sit at my feet and just look at me like….”whats this person trying to do?”. My most memorable experience with a cat was when my cat Oliver decided to climb up a ladder that we had in the house while changing out light fixtures, he got too scared to climb down so I went up after him and while trying to lovingly pry him down he decided to use my face as a jumping pad to get down safely. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, after years of experience with different pets, working in a social work field, and becoming a mom, I'm no stranger to crazy, messy, energetic, chaotic situations. (CURRENT AVAILABILITY for dog walking/drop-ins - Friday (all day) and Saturday (night) House sitting weekday availability but only for short term (no more than 5 days) I currently work part time on weekends and am a full time stay at home mom for my first son. I also do school part time online so that does not interfere with my availability during the week. (HOUSE SITTING DETAILS - I do not spend the night at houses because I have a one year old son but I can house sit during the entire day and/or do periodic check ins through the entire day and night) I live in a cozy home with hard wood floors, a fenced back yard, and a pet friendly neighborhood where you can find people walking their pets daily. I also live within walking distance of outdoor trails and a local park. I care for your pet by providing love, attention, and complying with any rules/requirements you need for your furry friend. I love being outside and have lots of free time since my son is only a baby. I love getting exercise outside and enjoy taking walks along trails and in parks. I am open to offering services in my home to established clients only, I believe for your furry friends safety and my sons it’s best to have a strong relationship before bringing them in home. I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, and short term house sitting limited to weekdays.

I can’t say enough good things about Lily as a dog walker and caregiver for my dog. From the moment I met her, I could tell she had a true passion for animals. She always takes the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and preferences. Lily is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond to ensure that my dog is not only well-exercised but also happy and safe. I can always trust her to give my dog the care and attention she deserves, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her as part of my pet’s routine.

This was our first time using a service of this nature. And Richard made the process very easy. Also he took the best of care of our pet Kilo and we were so elated to receive photos and videos in the midst of his drop ins. We would absolutely use Richard again for any needs of this nature. So glad to have someone who gives awesome service to pets in our community.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs. Puppies, seniors, large dogs, small dogs, reactive, calm. I have many years of experience with staying in home and out, as well as experience dog walking. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, having 4 dogs at one point! I will care for your babies as if they are my own, I know dogs are family! I’m currently a student at UF, with only 2 hours of class per day. My schedule is very open and flexible. I’m happy to accommodate any needs, from early morning walks to even late nights. I will respect your home while I care for your animals. I am very clean and neat, you’ll barely know I was there. At my own home, your dogs will be very comfortable as it is quiet and spacious. I have an enclosed courtyard and plenty of area to walk your dog.

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

Shauna really loves dogs and dogs really love her! My dog gets excited when I say we are going to see her. I have an anxious dog who doesn’t like a lot of people, but Shauna has a way of making her feel comfortable and happy. If Maisy (my dog) could write the review, she’d say “Shauna is my favorite babysitter! I love her!”

About: Ive had a family dog that Ive bathed, walked, and provided love and care for about 8 years. I care for dogs like they’re my child. I usually wake up early in the morning to hit the gym and am pretty free after that. I am a UF graduate figuring out my next steps in life so I am free during the week and weekends. I have a male Australian Shepherd named Buddy I play with and take very good care of. I make sure to not leave anything out that can get chewed/swallowed unless its a chew toy (have plenty of those). I make sure to have plenty of water available and keep up with my dogs feeding schedule. I make sure the fur babies are well walked too.

Elizabeth has house sat for me a few times in the past. Every time she has house sat she has kept everything neat, always making sure to clean before she leaves. The dogs get excited whenever they see her come over as well, they know when she’s here they’ll go for walks often!

She went above and beyond for our little farm and we are so blessed to have found someone caring and trustworthy that can provide peace of mind anytime we go out of town and need someone to care for our fur babies!
