“As a business owner in the boarding and dog industry myself, trusting someone to stay in my home and care for my dogs was a huge deal for me — especially since our dogs have quite a few senior and special-care needs. Jonathan absolutely exceeded every expectation. We are definitely “those” pet owners with a million instructions wanting everything done just right, and he handled all of it with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was incredible. Any time I reached out, he responded within minutes, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s very rare to find people you genuinely trust with your home and your animals, but he made the entire experience stress-free. The dogs were well cared for, happy, and all of their special needs were accommodated without issue. Honestly, this experience changed things for us. For the first time, we actually feel like we can travel and enjoy vacations without worrying the entire time. We’re already planning our next trip knowing we have a person we can truly rely on. Highly, highly recommend Johnathan Absolute gems.”


About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 12 years old! I have experience with cats, chickens, dogs, fish, birds, reptiles, and more! Your loved ones will be in good hands I currently have a flexible work schedule so I am pretty open to whatever you and your pet (s) need! Whether its daily or weekly I treat every client’s pet as if they were my own. I want to make sure they receive all the attention and love they need and deserve
About: I've been the designated dog sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for the last few years. I am very flexible and excited to spend time with your fur-baby! Working 8:30 am - 5:00 pm with a free lunch and dedicated time after 4:30/5:00 pm to lounge, go for a walk, and prepare the next day. I grew up with dogs that needed constant training in the younger years. From energetic to shy dogs, I have experienced many diverse behaviors. I respect the space that I am in and the position I hold when out of town to ensure quality care and sense of security for the owners!
“Kim is so lovely and is my pups new best friend! I am so happy to have found her. Kim sent me lots of videos and pictures, which was much appreciated. I will not hesitate to use her again.”

About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am a student at UF looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule somewhat flexible other than my classes. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I am free early mornings until 8:00 AM, around noon, and in the evenings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available all morning until 11:30 and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. Weekends that are marked as available are flexible. This works around my classes schedule, volunteering, and other obligations. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.
About: I am a vet assistant at the small animal hospital looking for a way to spend more time with animals of all shapes and sizes. My goal is to make sure that your fur babies have as little anxiety as possible while I am taking care of them while making sure they exercise and are entertained I work full time but can come walk or feed your fur child before and after work. However weekends I am completely free to spend however long you need me too with your animal. In a clients home I will treat your home like a fine art museum, my goal is that you will never know I was there.
About: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.

About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love. What makes me special is my ability to handle puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and know how to give pets extra care when needed. Taking care of pets is a big part of my life. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I am available on Tuesday, Wednesday and sometimes Saturdays and I can do short-term or long-term pet sitting based on your needs. I always keep pets in a safe, clean environment, whether in my home or theirs. I follow all safety rules and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure.
“Kaitlin H. Did a fantastic job with my cats. When my one cat who's not very friendly warmed up to her so quickly during the meet and greet, I knew they wolid be in good hands. And I was right. Kaitlin gave regular updates and daily pictures. She was comfortable giving medicine and had no problem cleaning the litter box, every cat owner's least favorite task. I felt comfortable with her, and so did my cats. I will definitely hire her again next time I'm out of town.”
About: I have owned dogs since I was little and I have had all ages from puppy stage to senior stage and I love every one of them they will be in good hands with me I promise :-) I am excited to start my journey as I retire from the University of Florida after 23 years :-) I have three pups of my own two chiweenies and one senior terrier. At this time I cannot offer in-home service. I can offer walks drop-ins and pick up items for you on the way to come take care of your babies

“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”

About: I have had dogs most of my life that I helped take care. I ended up getting my own dog when I moved. I have my own place and love to have dogs stay while their parents are away. I work at Shands in the emergency room but have enough space for a safe pen when I’m away. I have a small dog park in my complex that I take my dogs to in the evening. I have 2 dogs that are friendly and enjoy making new friends. I also keep dogs separate when I am not home. We like to go to the dog park in the evenings when it’s not so hot
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I specialize in providing calm, loving, and reliable care, especially for larger dogs. I’m known in my Gainesville community for being attentive, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to each pet’s comfort and happiness. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so you can expect frequent photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed, and that you feel complete peace of mind. I have been taking care of large dogs for over 20 years, primarily standard poodles but I adore all breeds. I am known in Gainesville's Woodland Villa Apartments complex for my reputation as a great doggy and kitty caregiver. I have worked with several different canine clients, from large Dobermans to medium Pitbulls to a small corgi-beagle mix, I have worked with all sorts of pups! I have 3 cats, one of which turned 22 years old (human years) on October 22, 2025. I have had her and been taking care of her since she was 2 years old. I believe love and extraordinary care can truly make pets happier and last longer. After all, I have seen it with my own! I am happy to spend time with, walk, play, feed, and wholeheartedly love your pet(s) while you are away! I work hard to make it an easy and relaxing process for you, so that you can leave feeling your furry friend is in great hands! I will ask questions and make sure all the details are there, so you don't have to. I also am happy to help with other smaller friends! In my caregiving experience, I have fed frogs, tadpoles, and plants, alongside the dogs and cats! If you have another living creature that needs some attention and upkeep, I am so happy to offer my care as part of my services! **Please look forward to lots of videos, photos, and updates of your happy pet(s)!!!** As a pet owner myself, I know how much it matters to stay connected and updated! You will ALWAYS be in the know! I am super flexible and I am a full time remote student, so I am happy to work on schoolwork while I hang out with your pet(s) for longer stays (up to 8 hours) or I can easily plan my schoolwork around when I will be visiting (I will do this automatically for visits less than 2 hours)! Your preferences are what I will be happy to work around! For all clients, I require a planned meet and greet where I will meet your pet(s) and determine whether we'll be a compatible team. For dogs, I ask to go on a short walk during this time with the owner(s). During this time, we will go over their routine, all no-nos, food, treats, toys, emergency info, and any additional information you think I should know. With your permission, I will record this session of my phone so that I can generate a transcript and make a care routine document for you, so that you won't have to. You will also get a copy of this document that you can pass to others!
“Excellent care taken with our two cats! One even needed extra meds and Domenica made sure he got it everyday. Lovely pics and messages were sent telling us about our boys and I felt very safe having her watch them.”

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newberry choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
