“Amanda was a great sitter, at first i was a little worry about my cat since i haven't left him alone for so long and he was just used to only see me so i did not know what reaction expect from him, but i book amanda 2 days before i left for a trip so they both can meet each other and have some familiarity and it work perfectly i left for 15 days and she was very attentive with jett making sure he feel secure with her, she also send me videos and pictures of him playing and on the balcony (he loves taking fresh air) everyday and she always let me know what was going on with him, like if he's eating , drinking water or going as usual to the litter box. the best part of it all was that he had a great time with amanda and when i came back from my trip, was that i find him as if i never left. I could tell he have a lots of fun with amanda playing because thats all he wanted me to do with him when i arrive back home.... Thank you so much amanda for helping me sitting my cat Jett.

About: I’ve been a devoted pet mom and caregiver for over 11 years. I adopted my two cats, Gwendolyn and Gayla, when they were 4 years old and cared for Gwendolyn through her senior years until she passed at 15. Gayla is still with me and will soon be turning 16. I also raised my German Shepherd, Roscoe, from 8 weeks old; he’s now 2 years old, and I trained him with patience and love. In addition to them, I’ve cared for three other cats—two of whom I raised from kittens—and a small dog in my previous home, giving me solid experience with multi-pet households and diverse personalities. I understand every pet has unique needs, from seniors to puppies and kittens. I bring a calm, gentle presence paired with genuine care and respect, treating every animal like family. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with flexible hours from late mornings through the evenings. Whether you need care during the day or later on, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable visits. My goal is to ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and well cared for whenever you need me. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a calm and safe environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, respecting their space and preferences to minimize stress. I’m attentive to any special instructions from pet parents, whether it’s about feeding, play, or quiet time. If caring for pets in my home (if applicable), I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space designed to keep animals relaxed and happy, with plenty of cozy spots and toys. Safety is always my top priority. I ensure the environment is secure, free from hazards, and that pets are supervised at all times. Building trust with both pets and their owners is key to my care approach. I communicate openly and reliably to keep pet parents informed and confident that their loved ones are in good hands.
“Brittany did a great job coming to feed my cats twice a day while I was away. She followed all of the instructions well. Most importantly, she was very responsive and sent updates and photos which set my mind at ease. Thank you Brittany!”
About: I spend my free time volunteering at a local dog rescue. I am a born & raised Midwesterner who is a true "Dog Mom." I am a retired teacher who has lived in SW Florida for four years now. I have embraced the Florida lifestyle even taking my dog out in a "doggy stroller!" I have been trusted to watch and care for friends' dogs and cats for days at a time or even weeks while they've gone on vacation. I love their pets like my own. I am picky about who watches my own dog, so I would like any pet owner to know that their little furball is in good hands while they're away. I work part-time so I have flexibility during the week. I am also available on weekends. I'm willing to discuss any specific time needs with pet owners as well. I am a self-described "early bird" which allows me to walk dogs when the weather is cooler. My dogs have always had full run of the house except when I'm away and then they are put into a crate (mostly for their own protection so they're not eating or chewing on items they shouldn't!) or trying to jump on or off furniture. My dogs have always been treated extremely well. When I wake up early in the morning, my dog goes out first thing, gets a treat, then gets fed breakfast. We usually do a small walk. I take into account the age and wellness of the dog. I had an elderly dog who used to walk two miles every day, but then he slowed down a lot, so I adjusted his walk distances. I also adjust to the Florida heat! No walks during the hottest hours! I like to get out early and walk. Speaking of walking or playing - my favorite motto is: A tired dog is a happy dog!
“Shelley is an absolute gem!! She made me feel totally at ease leaving on a trip with my newly diabetic cat! I appreciate her loving on my babies as if they were her own… Thanks so much Shelley and Rover!!”
About: I have adored and cared for animals since childhood. I have always been surrounded by pets and my family's working animals. The animals have ranged from chickens, rabbits, fish, frogs, rabbits, dogs and cats to turtles. Providing love and care to my animals has always been one of my highest priorities. I am currently a housewife that has open availability. I have worked as an educator, microbiologist, technician in a doctor's office. I'm highly reliable and capable. Now that I have more flexibility, allow me to help you look after your beloved, fur babies. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is centerally located in North Port. I have a completely fenced-in yard with an outdoor kennel as well. Additionally, I have a screened in the lanai as well. My home is tiled throughout, the exception are my bedrooms. I am the proud mother of three indoor mini panthers and one very energetic JRT. I will board in my home, however, I prefer to look after your pets in your home setting for animals prefer their own home.
“Courtney was wonderful with my little guinea pig, providing him with great care and giving him his oral medication and eye drops. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Duke was in good hands.”
About: I grew up with a very sweet English Setter and 2 cats. I would often watch my neighbors dogs, cats, and chickens for long periods at a time. I have also helped with taking care of newborn puppies and kittens. I am currently between jobs so I have a pretty open schedule at the moment. But I will be setting my availability through the calendar and making sure it is always up to date! I adhere to your pet's established routines, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum comfort during my visits. Your pets receive undivided attention, playtime, and affection to keep them engaged and content. I strictly follow feeding and medication instructions, maintaining their health and hygiene meticulously. Beyond pet care, I keep an eye on your home, giving you peace of mind during your absence.

“As someone who's shared pets with Lexi for over a decade, I can say without hesitation that her love and commitment to animals is something truly special. She's been by my side caring for our senior cats since they were four years old-nurturing them through every stage of life with so much patience and tenderness. Whether it was scooping litter boxes without being asked, giving them lots of love and affection, or just sitting quietly when one of them didn't feel well, she was always tuned in to their needs. She's also helped with our little dog, handling walks, feedings, and routines like a natural. Any pet would be lucky to have her.”

Murdock cat parents share their Rover experiences
Montana took amazing care of our two cats! One of our cats doesn’t really like people but seemed to love Montana. I will definitely book Montana again when we travel. So thankful to have found her!
My cat doesn’t like when I’m away but LOVES to see & play with Renee! Thanks again Renee not just for super professionalism but also your wonderful caring ways!
Brittany was great. She probably wasn’t able to get too close to my cat because she’s so scared of people but Brittany did what she needed to do and I greatly appreciated that- and I’m sure Sprinkles did too! Thank you Brittany!
Vanessa did a wonderful job watching all 3 of my dogs and my cat! She made me feel very comfortable while I was away by sending me thorough updates and lots of cute pictures! My dogs are very high energy and she handled their crazy cooped-up behavior very well! She followed every instruction I left for her and made my first experience with Rover easy and pleasant! I'll definitely be using her services again!!!
