Ashley was awesome. Can’t thank her enough. We have huge dogs (Great Danes) and one doesn’t really like others very much. Ashley took her time and she was patient with her. By the time Ashley left they were best buds and Morgan was sitting on her lap (it’s a Dane thing)! Anyway, we have 2 more trips planned and have Ashley scheduled for both those trips. Thanks Ashley!!

Another great stay with J! Sheets washed, house clean, and our kitchen may have been cleaner than when we left. Our dog loves his long walks and play time. Will use again!

Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.

Awesome! Maggie is better behaved on her walks after spending three days with Liubov then when we left. We had a lovely stroll instead of a mad dash around the block when we got home. Follows instructions to the letter, takes the time necessary to build a relationship. Cannot recommend her more highly.

About: Hi! I’m Tia, in New Port Richey—and I genuinely treat your pets like part of the family. From puppies and senior pups needing meds to curious cats or even guinea pigs, I bring 5 years of experienced pet care to every sitting. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including walking, feeding, and engaging them in play. I’m comfortable following specific routines, ensuring pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m available for last-minute bookings and have a flexible schedule. Since I’m new to Rover, my rates are currently lower to build up reviews—so now is a great time to book with me! Every morning starts with a walk or play session to energize your pet, followed by feeding and medication as needed. My afternoons are scheduled around midday check-ins, enriching activities, and potty breaks. Evenings close with calm cuddles, another walk, and a final safety check—creating a comforting, routine-driven environment that fits seamlessly into my own flexible schedule. I am an online college student which makes me flexible to walk your pets any time! I prioritize both pets’ well-being and their owners’ trust. In clients’ homes, I start with a thorough meet-and-greet and gather all routines, medical needs, and emergency contacts in writing. I keep keys secure and follow sanitation protocols to protect pets and homes alike. I maintain close communication with daily updates—photos, feeding logs, and notes—that quietly assure owners I’m caring attentively. I’m always ready with a safety kit and vet contact for emergencies.

Stephanie was wonderful with Ares! She arrived 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She practiced his commands and sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. She even filled out a short report with detailed notes at the end of her visit. Overall, a wonderful experience and we truly appreciate her care! Thank you Stephanie! 😊

About: I’ve grown up around pets and I have always loved animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, bearded dragons, you name it. I have house sat on more than one occasion, along with dog sitting for as long as a week and a half (in owners home). I also have experience administering medication for dogs. Pets are the best, and I love them like my own! I am available anytime to take care of your pets. I love the flexibility and knowing that I can give my whole attention to your special ones. When caring for a dog in your home, I would follow any rules you may have in place and instructions for the well being of your pet(s). Take them out back to play, and keep a close eye on and around the surrounding environment

About: Hi! We’re Amy and Keith — a dependable, animal-loving couple offering overnight and long-term pet sitting in your home. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of our lives. Over the years, we’ve loved and cared for many types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals. As lifelong pet parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you truly trust. Even though we don’t currently have pets of our own, our love for animals remains a huge part of who we are. Friends and family have trusted us for years to care for their pets, and we treat every animal like family. We’re comfortable administering medications, maintaining established routines, supporting senior pets, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet needs structure, patience, playtime, or extra TLC, we provide calm, attentive care. We specialize in caring for pets in their familiar environment, where they feel safest and most comfortable. Please note: we do not offer boarding in our home. What you can expect from us: • Calm, patient, and attentive care • Comfortable with medications and special needs • Experienced with multiple pet types and temperaments • Clean, respectful, and highly responsible • Ideal for overnight and extended stays Having nearly 60 years of combined federal service, our careers required exceptional levels of trust, reliability, and accountability. We held secret security clearances throughout our professional lives, which reflects the integrity and responsibility we bring into everything we do. We’re also previous landlords, extremely handy, and very thoughtful when it comes to caring for a home. We understand how important it is to respect someone’s space, maintain order, and handle small issues calmly and responsibly if they arise. We genuinely enjoy working as a team and providing pet parents with peace of mind. Our goal is simple: keep your pets happy, maintain their routines, and ensure your home is treated with care and respect while you’re away. If you’re looking for trustworthy, mature, and highly dependable overnight or long-term sitters, we’d love to help. Because we’re retired, pet care easily becomes part of our daily and weekly rhythm. We genuinely enjoy being present, maintaining routines, and giving pets the time and attention they’re used to. Your pet’s schedule becomes our schedule — whether that means morning walks, medication timing, play sessions, feeding routines, evening wind-down time, or simply companionship throughout the day. Our flexibility allows us to adapt to your pet’s needs rather than fitting them into a busy lifestyle. This lifestyle is exactly why we love long-term and overnight care. Pets thrive on consistency, and we’re able to provide calm, steady, predictable attention while you’re away. Caring for pets in a client’s home is something we take very seriously because we understand we are stepping into both their pet’s safe space and their personal environment. We approach every stay with one simple mindset: maintain comfort, routine, and emotional security. For example, we once cared for a senior dog who had very specific medication timing and a nightly ritual of being tucked in with a particular blanket. Rather than seeing those as instructions, we saw them as part of what made that pet feel safe. By the second night, he would calmly wait for us, tail wagging, ready for his routine. It was a small but meaningful sign of trust. In another home, we cared for a shy rescue cat who spent most of the first day observing us from a distance. Instead of forcing interaction, we respected her pace. By quietly sharing space, maintaining feeding routines, and offering gentle consistency, she slowly became curious, then affectionate. By the end of the stay, she had claimed her preferred spot beside us on the couch. Those moments never stop feeling special. We have learned that pets communicate comfort in subtle ways. Relaxed posture, playful energy, peaceful sleep, or simply choosing to stay close. Those are the signals we pay attention to. Our care typically includes maintaining established feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and of course companionship. Beyond the basics, we focus heavily on emotional well-being. Some pets want activity and engagement, while others simply want calm presence and reassurance. Because we work as a team, pets are rarely left without attention for long periods. This helps maintain stability and reduce stress while owners are away. For us, pet sitting is not just supervision. It is about creating a sense of normalcy and comfort in your absence.

Wonderful experience. We have a classic shepherd who only really loves her parents (we tried so much socializing, but genes are genes). Christina handled the timid 70 lbs baby with such grace that within a few hours, they were best friends! You can tell she loves what she does and have experience. Even our more aloof cat was cuddling with her by the middle of her stay. If you have pets that dont get watched often, she's definitely your girl!

Holly is fantastic. She loves our dogs like her own and they love her. She takes excellent care of them. Kept us informed and sent photos & videos of the pups. Holly played with them and they even slept with her. She is the only one that I trust to take care of our two pups, Violet & Harley. She also went above and beyond by sweeping the floor and making the bed with fresh sheets. She is truly amazing!! We have already asked her to take care of our pups next year.
