“Laura did a great job with my pets. She sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing, this gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my vacation. This was the first time they were taken care of someone they didn’t know but they all trusted her and it was life as usual for them. Will definitely try to book Laura when I plan my next vacation.”
“Ana was exactly what we needed in a housesitter. After a couple not so good experiences with word of mouth sitters I tried the Rover App. I needed someone that would give me peace of mind with our 4 pets and she immediately delivered. Great communication, lots of photos and updates, asked lots of questions and spent a tremendous amount of time at our home and with our pets. She took great care of our senior dog with medications and food routines. Played with and walked our puppy. And interacted and loved on our cats. I highly recommend Ana.”
“Michelle did an amazing job taking care of our dog for several days while we were out of state. She provided frequent updates and communicated very well with us. We will absolutely be using her again!!”
“Brian was awesome with our dogs! He sent us pictures and stayed with them the whole time. They got a ton of exercise and he even fixed our door when he was here! We will definitely be using him moving forward!”
“Alyssa was excellent with communicating with us during a quick weekend stay while we went on a cruise. She took great care of Mollie and sent over pictures of her. Mollie loved hanging out with her. Would absolutely book Alyssa again.”
About: I have experienced being the sole caregiver of hyperactive large dogs such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Brittany Spaniels. I also have experience watching small dogs such as Yorkies and Chihuahuas. I have been a volunteer as Pasco County Animal services for 5 years and am confident in my ability to take care of animals who have been through less than ideal circumstances and are not trusting of people. Lastly, I have had experience with cats and kittens and puppies who are less than 8 weeks old. I am a Kindergarten teacher who is currently on summer break and completely available to take care of your babies during the summer months of June and July. If I am in a clients home, I will respect the wishes set forth by them. I am able to give medicine as directed, feed animals, take them for walks, let them out to go to the restroom, and play with them to get some energy out. I will be respectful of their home and wishes of what I will be doing in that home. If the animal is at my home, I have a German shepherd who is friendly to other dogs but has never been around cats.
“Vonna took care of my Minnie with love and lots of attention! She kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent photos every day of my baby 🥰 I will definitely use her again.”
About: I am a passionate animal advocate dedicated to rescuing, fostering, and finding loving homes for animals in need—especially those waiting in kennels. Every day, I work tirelessly to share resources and connect animals with the families they deserve. In addition to rescue work, I have a deep love for spending time with dogs. If you choose to have your dog stay with me, you can expect a highly personalized and attentive experience. I care for one client at a time, ensuring full-time companionship and individualized attention. My home is truly animal-centered. Dogs enjoy a crate-free, free-roaming environment with access to a full acre of outdoor space and 6ft fence to explore and play. We also share our home with multiple cats, so visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. Animals are at the heart of everything I do, and I would love to learn more about you and your beloved companion.

“As expected, Brandy was a great sitter for Maggie. She shows how much she cares for our pup by paying a lot of attention to her, taking her for walks, and following our care instructions carefully. She communicates with us by sending photos, videos, and text messages regularly. I feel very confident with Brandy & look forward to using her services in the future.”
About: Elderly and young, cat or dog, I’ve done it all, and I’ve loved every second of it! I love taking care of our four legged friends (or less legs, if applicable). I love caring for them, and I hope they would do the same for me Im currently working part time while also being a student, but I’m a full time animal lover. I can always take time out of my day to make time for your pets! I’ve never had any issues with any of my animals I’ve previously cared for. I always make sure I have contact information for owners in case your pet ever displays any sign of distress, and I’ll always make sure your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Carlo was awesome. Our boys forgot we were leaving when he arrived prior to our departure! Great to see how fast they took to him. Blessed to have him!”
“Aryn was wonderful with the pups!! Great communication and our home was in the same condition as we left it. We will be requesting Aryn to pet sit for us in the future!”
“I can't say enough positive things about Maika! She was great at communicating from the start and left our home clean and our dogs safe and happy.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for the last 14 years. Walking, feeding, and playing is a part of my daily routine. I have some experience with senior dogs who need pills, eye drops, or ear drops. I’m currently working part time so there will be plenty of time to walk, feeding, or play with your dogs. Most availability time will be in the afternoons. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Safety is key with our four legged friends so if they need to be crated or have specific instructions for walking, I will ensure they will be followed.
“Ivette arrived early and sent videos throughout the day of my fur baby. I enjoyed receiving them and seeing how he enjoyed his time with her. I felt comfortable leaving him with her. I would recommend Ivette to petsit your fur baby. Thank you! April”

About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for over 6 years, so I bring a deep level of experience and confidence when it comes to pet care. I’m trained to handle animals with a wide range of personalities and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, monitoring behavior, and responding to emergencies if needed. As a current vet student, caring for animals is not just a side job — it’s my career and passion. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or just some extra love while you’re away, you can trust they’re in expert hands with me. I currently work at an animal hospital during the week, which means I’m free on weekends and available to provide reliable, expert care for your pets! As a veterinary technician at a Fear Free certified animal hospital, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress and anxiety in pets and use proven techniques to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is shy, high-energy, or needs extra patience, I know how to meet them where they are and build trust at their pace. I’m confident in safely crating pets when needed, administering medications (oral or injectable), and handling unexpected situations calmly and professionally. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I’m committed to creating a calm, secure environment that makes them feel right at home — whether I’m walking them, sitting for them, or just stopping by for a visit.

“Cole watches my 4 cats and 1 dog when I go out of town. He is always prompt, spends a lot of time with them and cleans up their food areas or litter. I especially like when he sends me pics of my pets who are happy and getting a lot of Cole's loving attention. It is obvious he loves animals and has a natural responsible instinct on how to take care of them. My dog is very excited to see him and the cats love him. One cat specifically is very attached to Cole since he started watching them. Highly recommend Cole for your animal care needs!!!”

“Amanda is absolutely amazing with pets! She has watched my dog Leia several times, and every time I pick her up, she's so happy and relaxed-it's like a mini vacation for her. You can tell she really loves animals and treats her like her own. Leia's usually shy with new people, but she warmed up to Amanda right away, which says a lot. I totally trust Amanda with Leia and always know she's in great hands. Highly recommend!”

20. Brianna T.
“I had the pleasure of meeting Brianna through her work at a veterinary clinic, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s incredibly kind, warm, and truly cares about animals. My 9-month-old Goldendoodle, Kobe, has pretty bad separation anxiety, so leaving him is usually a stressful experience—for both of us. But with Brianna, it was completely different. Kobe took to her right away, and when I came back, he was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. She even trimmed his nails for me—such a thoughtful touch! With her experience at two vet clinics, a degree in veterinary science, her natural love for animals, and her acceptance into vet school, (CONGRATS!) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brianna for any dog-sitting or pet care needs. She’s amazing!”
