Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.

Misty and Fiona were a dream team. From the first meet and greet we knew we had found the purr-fect sitters for our "girls". Misty provided daily personal notes assuring us everything was going well and photos to make us smile. 😊 Fiona was awesome getting our shy girl to trust her enough to cuddle and snuggle and play. Our older cat warmed up to them quickly and enjoyed all of the attention. As I told Misty, this is the first time I went away and felt comfortable that our two girls were in safe and loving hands. We are already rebooking them for our next trip in November. We'd highly recommend them if you are looking for more than someone to feed and clean up after your pets.

About: I have never gone a day of my life without caring for an animal. I've had dogs and cats growing up, rode horses, helped on the farm, etc. I recently cared for my childhood Lab (day in day out) and she made it to 16 years old. I also fully trained my Mom's golden retriever from 8 weeks old. I have my own rescue dog now, and she has come so far in training! I have done a semester internship with a Vet Clinic as well. I truly love caring for and spending time with animals and will treat any animal with love and kindness, whatever their needs are. I currently work remotely full time, with a partial return to office starting in August 2026. I will be in office from 10-2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting then. I have very flexible days that allow me to step away when needed. My day genuinely revolves around animal care. My plans are structured around my dog, my vacations structured around my dog, my friends chosen by who my dog likes. :) My girl loves cuddling on my couch or in bed and loves having activities to do like puzzles, Kongs, frozen lick mats, etc. We love taking long long walks or hikes. She is my best friend and I treat her as such. She was a traumatized rescue who has taken a lot of time, and will continue to do so. However, I have given her time, attention, training, desensitization, ect. to ensure she gets the happiest and most comfortable life possible. I plan to treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and love. The animal is always my #1 priority and concern, even before my own. My dog always eats before I do! I know every animal is different, and I am happy to listen to individualized needs, concerns, and requests to give the best care possible.

Judy was AMAZING!! My dog has anxiety and can be a little nervous around new people. Judy was accommodating with my schedule so we could do a meet-and-greet to make sure both Juliet (my dog) and Judy were comfortable with each other. By the end of the meet-and-greet, Juliet was resting her head in Judy’s hand. I almost cried (this is HUGE)! Judy sent lots of pics and had great communication. I had no reservations about my dog (who is my baby) being in good hands! It was my first time using Rover, and Judy was very patient with all my questions. I will DEFINITELY be rebooking!! Thank you again so much!!

We loved Grace. This was a first vacation for us together since we adopted Lilah 2 years ago. Shes a sweet great dog but stubborn. She is leery of strangers. Grace was extremely patient and determined. So happy to have found someone that can take care of her for us. Would highly recommended her.

Sara stepped in for 2 weeks while my regular sitter was unavailable and Kallie has loved spending time with her. They've been on walks every day, during her mid-day check in. Having this service with someone I feel comfortable with and trust is SO helpful. It also brings peace of mind that my pup gets some love while I'm at work. Grateful for Sara - would recommend and will use again!

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them since I can remember. I also frequently pet sit for my neighbors and have been for just about 5 years now! I have a couple families I regularly pet sit for now, so if you need someone to take care of your pups or kitties while your away, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m currently a student and working part time. I work Mondays and Wednesdays 3-8pm, and have class 12-2 Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. My weekends are totally free!! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. In my clients home, I strive to provide the best possible care for your Fur Babies. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s diet, medication, or house rules, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for the past 3 years, but I have been taking care of dogs for my whole life. I have experience with dog training as I trained dogs for dog shows. I don’t mind cleaning up and keeping the space tidy. I also love sending cute pictures of your babies when they’re under my care. I’m currently a college student, but over the summer I do research twice a week, so I am free most weekdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to do dog walks or spend a day with your pet while you are out. For multiple days, it depends on the dates and how long I can be away from your pet (ex. A cat) if it’s on a day I have to work my lab. I like to follow the instructions clients give me precisely and appreciate receiving detailed instructions. I love hanging out with your pets and playing with them. I like to keep their daily routine as close to their normal as I can, keeping them healthy and happy.

Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.

About: I've raised 2 daughters to adulthood and 7 cats over the years. I've dog sat for neighbors and answered local ads for sitting/walks. I have experience giving cats medicine and cleaning up messes.I love animals! I'm currently a stay home Mom looking for a flexible income while getting excerise and being my own boss. I use to own a business so I'm organized, responsible and dependable. I currently have 2 cats who I feed daily, one gets medicine mixed into her dinner wet food and she's on a diet. My other cat is free fed dry food all day because she has a fast metabolism and is a perfect weight, plus she gets wet food for dinner. Their litter boxes get cleaned every other day. So, I'm use to special feeding needs of fur babies.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with childhood dogs (Lab and a Scottish Terrier) and love all animals! I'm the go-to dog sitter for both family and neighbors as we have lots of extra room in our house and hearts, along with a fenced in yard. I can't wait to treat your baby like my own! My husband works from home and can let your fur baby outside as needed and keep them company. I love to cater to your dogs needs! Whether that's a game of fetch in the back yard, going for a long walk, meeting new friends at my neighborhood dog park, or hanging out on the couch, I'm just happy to have them around! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly cat at home. He keeps to himself for the most part. I also have two children who love to play with and respect animals as much as I do!

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life! I love animals of all kinds! Currently, I have two dogs that are 3 & 5. I also recently adopted a cat of my own, and he is the sweetest thing ever! Currently, I am a Junior at Flagler College! I work remote for my job in Maryland, but I also am working on my own pet sitting business, I Stay, U Go!! While I do not take dogs in my own home, when it comes to the clients home I work pretty much entirely from there house, but may have to go into work from time to time. Usually when I go, I’m gone for no more than about 4-5 hours.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.

We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

Misty did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She was available for a last minute holiday booking and worked around my schedule to come over to meet my cats. She was super communicative during her visits and sent adorable photos of my cats. She took great care of my pets and my home. I'll definitely rebook and recommend Misty to other pet parents.

Megan watched our cats while we were out of town for a week, and we couldn’t be more pleased! She was incredibly reliable, arriving within our agreed time frame each day, and her communication was excellent. We loved receiving daily updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind. It’s such a relief to know our pets were so well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!
