My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too.

Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓

“Tricia you are amazing and P and Rizzy appreciated all you did to make them feel happy and safe while we were away. They are telling us to take another vacation soon so you can come visit them each day because they miss you!😹🐈😹🐈⬛. THANK YOU!”


“Amanda is AMAZING. She stayed and pet our cat for over half and hour both times she came and visited. Sent tons of photos and was extremely communicative. My husband and I will definitely be having her watch our cat every time we are out of town! 10/10 highlyyyyyyyy recommend!”


“Debbie was a fabulous caregiver to my cat, Hadrian. She was incredibly attentive to his needs, even going as far as to adjust our original planned schedule to address his finicky eating habits. When I returned home from my 9 day trip, Hadrian was happy and well-adjusted. I appreciated Debbie's daily reports and pictures, and I was overjoyed to come home to find Hadrian's litter box area well swept. It was nice to not have to worry about cleaning the floor after a long plane ride. Debbie rocks!”


“Rylee was so wonderful! Very sweet and flexible. I had a few hiccups and she was so accommodating. She sent me updates on my puppy and was so wonderful with communication! I really appreciated her :)”


About: I love dogs - they are man’s best friend and very smart. I take would take wonderful care of your dog just like it’s my own. I used to have a dog and I miss him, yet at this time I cannot commit to get another one, so I give my love to yours. I am working from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I am available for boarding almost any part of the day. I have a house with front and back yard with plenty of lizards and bunnies to keep your doggies happy outdoors. I had a dog, and I cannot commit to another one at this time - so I will give all my loving to your furry family.


About: Growing up on a horse farm had it's advantages. I learned to wake up early and to work hard to take care of the animals who were relying on me. Now I work in healthcare taking care of sick patients as a registered dietitian! I have a flexible salary position so I am still able to care for pets, which I have always loved. I have two pets of my own, a cat named Tito and my significant others police dog, Enzo! I have experience dog walking for medical school graduates who were in residency while I was living in Texas, and many cats and dogs that required medical care (insulin shots, pills, topicals to name a few). Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child, from horses to dogs to cats to cows to less mainstream animals such as deer or opossum needing care when they lost their mother; I have a big heart for them all! Pet care is part of my daily routine when I am scheduled with your pet I will stay with them and treat them as my own. This includes feeding as scheduled, daily walks, play time and of course all the cuddles! Making sure you are comfortable while your pet is in my care is my top priority. I usually send pictures to owners daily or per their preference and follow the schedule they have laid out for them so their routine stays as normal as possible while their loved ones are away. I do work m-f at the hospital however my hours are flexible and I am salary so there aren’t specific hour restraints. Most days I work 7:30-3:30. I don’t take animals at my home right now due to my significant other being a K-9 unit! The police dog is very friendly at home, but we don’t get to socialize him much.

“My dog Jinni and I had a great meet and greet with Lisa and her dog Hank. i've been thinkjng of trying Rover for sometime. Everything went well. So glad I found someone close by and with an agreeable four legged friend. Jim in Nokomis”


About: I adopted my first dog almost two years ago. Her name is Didley, and her nicknames are Diddles and Didlaroo. She is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and English Bulldog mix. My sister's two dogs are her parents! I spoil her and give her the best care every dog deserves. My life would not be the same without her. I grew up with a Golden Retriever who is now in doggy heaven. I’ve had experience with Pit Bulls, Corgis, Pomeranians, French Bulldogs, you name it! Friends, family, and clients trust me to care for their pets while keeping them happy and healthy. I am 100% available on weekends. During the week, I currently work remotely and have time to come care for your dog before I clock in at 9am or after I clock out at 5:30pm to have the remainder of the evening to care for your pet. If you are a close distance from me, I can drop-in and walk your dog on my lunch hour! I joined Rover while I was a college student in New York City and cared for several dogs there before adopting my own. I am now offering my services again and would love if you return the favor to offer your services for my baby, Didley! I cannot currently off boarding services, but I am available to dog sit your furry baby in the comfort of his or her home and go on long walks to give your pup exercise and a good time.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve lived with and cared for both small and large breeds, from playful Aussie Shepherds to gentle Markiesjes. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment for dogs to feel comfortable and happy. I’m offering dog-sitting services because I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and want to gain even more hands-on experience before adopting my own. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just a cozy spot to relax, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I offer a calm, safe space, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention to ensure they feel loved while you’re away! Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know your pup! 🐾 I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home for a good portion of the day. This flexibility enables me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship for the dogs I sit. My schedule allows for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day, ensuring that each pup feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while staying with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every dog in my care. In my home, I ensure that all spaces are pet-friendly, secure, and free of hazards, creating a stress-free setting for dogs to relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine and specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special accommodations. For dogs staying with me, I provide supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and structured walks to keep them happy and engaged. I also respect each dog's personality—whether they love social interaction or need quiet time, I adapt to their needs to create a safe and loving experience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar routine, ensuring they feel comfortable in their own space. I communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and photos so they can feel at ease knowing their dog is in good hands. My goal is to create a trusting and reliable experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve cared for a Shiba Inu, a Husky, two small dogs, and a cat. Each one had their own routine, quirks, and personality. I pay close attention to what they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or creating a calm space for shy pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. And yes, I’m always happy to spoil them with a treat or two 🤫 I work as an independent contractor, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s during the day or in the evenings, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, having fun, and loved while you’re away. Your furry friend will be treated like family. I pay attention to their comfort, routines, and emotional needs, whether I’m caring for them in your home or on a walk. Expect lots of care, communication, and maybe a little spoiling too! 💛🐾

About: Hi! I’m Ashlee — I recently moved to Venice, Florida and while I normally work as a hairstylist, I have time off this month and would love to spend it caring for your pups. I’m a proud dog mom to a golden retriever who is 4 (Beau) and a lab who is 9 (Addie), so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s hands. My yellow lab is in the Carolinas right now with my family until August! I’ll treat your dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their needs and quirks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment near walking paths and I’m home during the day, so your dog will never be alone for long. I’m happy to send picture updates, keep you posted, and make sure your dog is safe and loved. Whether you need a walk, drop-in, or a cozy home for daycare, I’ve got you covered! Right now, I have a flexible schedule and extra time since I’m off work until the 14th. I’m a dog mom to two sweet pups (a golden retriever and a lab), so pet care is already part of my everyday life — from morning walks to playtime and cuddles. I’m home during the day, live in a pet-friendly space, and love being outside, so adding more dogs into my routine feels natural and fun. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or daycare, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m a dog mom to two sweet pups — a golden retriever and a lab — so caring for dogs is second nature. At my home, your dog will have a cozy, pet-friendly space, plenty of walks, and lots of love and attention. For drop-ins and walks, I stick to your routine and make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and happy. I’m big on communication, always send photo updates, and treat every dog like they’re part of the family.

About: I have had a dog in my life as long as I can remember, I have grown up with all different types of breeds and am great with working with all animals! I am currently working part time but my hours have slowed down since I have now started graduate school so I am free any time because I am fully online! I will do whatever the client asks of me to do and more, I’ll take the pups to the park, go play fetch with them, anything they customer wants!

“Diane did a great job helping out with a last minute leave! She checked in on my kitty, Mac, during hurricane Ian. Her compassion for animals is evident in the care she provided for my fur baby. I would absolutely recommend her!”

Alyssa C.
“Alyssa has been around animals her whole life. Her soft, gentle, loving approach to animals will make them feel at home and secure in her company. For the last 10 years I have personally seen her care for animals go unmatched. Dogs, cats and horses are her specialty but I would trust any of my animals in her care.”

Anna M.
“Anna has to be considered one of the most patient and well-mannered people I've met in my lifetime. Any task asked of her will be approached and handled with care, enthusiasm and wit. A job like this would cater well to her seeing that she is a dog owner herself, her love for animals has no bounds.”


Diana V.
“Diana is fantastic with pets. I used to leave my pup with her all the time last year and eventually the dog became much more friendlier with her than with me. She always goes an extra mile providing the best comfort and care to the pet.”

She sent us picture updates of our cat, was very responsive to all communication and came multiple times per day at our request to give our cat attention, play with him, and attend to his special food needs. She was a joy to work with and went above and beyond to care for our cat! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive petsitter.”


Ashlee J.

She truly was amazing and we couldn’t have trusted someone as kind and loving our dogs as if they were her own! If you’re needing someone to trust with your pets it’s defiantly Ashlee! We’ll be using her again!”


Aleksandr L.
“Alek is an outstanding pet caregiver who truly goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. He is incredibly responsible, attentive, and compassionate, treating every pet as if they were his own. My pets felt completely at ease with him and were showered with love and care. Alek is dependable, communicative, and always puts the animals’ needs first. I would trust him with my pets anytime and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, loving caregiver. – Anya”
