“Manny and Jessica took great care of our babies while we were gone on a day trip. They kept us updated and sent us some pictures as well. We will definitely use their services again in the future! Thank you Manny and Jessica!”



“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”


“They get to go inside and outside plus Lorraine sends you pictures. Her house is clean and she is attentive to the dogs. Much better than leaving them at a kennel”


“Stefhany and Jean were awesome with my little Sullie. When I picked her up, I could tell that she had been treated well. She even went back to each of them before we left to give them. Hugs. She will definitely go there again. Thank you Stefhany and Jean.”


“Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to the hurricane, but Grace was very communicative and understanding and send me lots of pictures. Would definitely use again!”


“My Bella loves to go to Diana’s place, there’s a huge patio for her to run and play with Milo. I leave her confident that she is in a good place.”


“Very pleased with Cyndi. She welcomed our 2 Beagles with opened arms. We felt so comfortable and relaxed when we were leaving them for a day stay. We would definitely use her again with no hesitation, and would highly recommend her to all. Thank you Cyndi for making our day relaxing and knowing our pups were in great hands.”


“Julia and Allen were fantastic with our boys. We love that they limit the number of dogs they care for to 4. They followed instructions to a tee and made it where we could have zero concerns about our pups. Would highly recommend them.”


“She did so well with my pup!”


“Rachel's place is a paradise for active doggos like my golden retriever, Huck. I'm so thankful I found her through Rover! Nothing better than seeing your pup's eyes light up when he realizes he gets to run free.”


“This was the first time we have left our new little rescue Jack with someone for a length of time (one day). We weren't sure how he would do but after the Meet N Greet with Sue, we were confident things would go well and they did! He took about an hour to settle in and the rest of the time with Sue at her place went off like clockwork. Sue took the time to really listen to our concerns and I believe that is why Jack's first "away" stay went so well. We will definitely use Sue's service again.”


“Even with our crazy dog she was so kind and caring with him. Definitely would pick her again.”


About: Hi there! My name is Kara. I grew up around horses, chickens, goats, parakeet, bearded dragon, and a pig. I also volunteered at the animal shelter walking dogs and feeding cats. I love to help others and would love to take care of your pets. I have 2 dogs Teddy and Beans who I absolutely adore! I can do overnight boarding and daycare in my home of 3 dogs with advancement. I have a doggie door that goes out to a nice, spacious, safe, fenced in yard. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! I am a stay at home dog mom. I am doing this full time as this is what I love to do. I will do everything I can to fit you and your fur babys schedule request. I will always communicate with you and send you updates on your fur baby. I want your fur baby comfortable and you! I will take care of them like my own. Pets are family!

About: Pets are family thats just the basic reality. I understand the responsibility & reward it is to have fur babies since I have cared for dogs of all ages for over 25 years. As I know, it does take so very much of trust to leave your own beloved pet into someone else’s very hands. If your dog happens to be a bouncy puppy or a sweet senior who is in need of a little extra support, I do provide personalized, attentive care that can make them feel safe, loved, and truly at home. I have cared for each dog that I have ever known just like they were truly my own. I did have provided some gentle senior care, Ive administered medications, and am in tune with reading canine body language to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I specialize in the act of creating a friendly calm and cozy environment in which your pup is able to relax and be spoiled. Your pup will get the love & attention they deserve in my care. Your dog will never feel like “just another guest”: that is still my promise. Because I genuinely believe pets are our children, they’ll be treated like family. I’d be honored for the chance to care for your fur baby if you’re looking for a sitter that you know takes responsibility to heart. Being an animal lover but especially for dogs is incorporated into my daily life. I live & breath love for my pup & anyone else’s. My days flow around the animals' needs, going from potty breaks in the early morning to playtime at the dog park to mealtime, enrichment and then an evening wind-down. I plan my days in such a way that works perfectly for them: quiet time for the geriatric pooch or perhaps thirty more minutes of fetch with an energetic canine. I pour lots (if not all) the love into fur babies, and being a stay at home mom for both human & fur children allows me to have the opportunity to provide pet care services which translates into giving pets attention, potty breaks, and the occasional hug several times a day. Every little detail is intentional, going for a walk, a belly rub, or a treat-wise-for-my-own-dog style. It is not something I fit in during my spare time. This is my passion and I treat it with all the heart, spirit, and seriousness it deserves. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. Living in a pet-friendly apartment with my own well-socialized dog, I ensure visiting pets feel like part of the family. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or preferred playtime activities. I enjoy taking the fur babies on their daily walks and visits to the on-site community dog park in my community that is fenced for exercise and socialization, always tailored to each dog’s comfort level. My goal is to create a calm, engaging space where pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello, I’m an experienced, caring and reliable pet sitter. My love for animals started at the young age of 4 when I got my first cat. I had that cat from the ages of 4-18, when l she sadly passed. This love for animals also led me to become a volunteer at the local humane society and rescues from the ages of 8-12. I went on to raise my own human family. Now that my children are grown, I am the dog mom of 2 amazing boys. They are larger breeds so I am fully experienced handling them as well as small breeds. Before my daughter moved out, she also had 2 cats. I am available for a variety of pet care services. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask any questions you may have. In addition, I have 20+ years of healthcare provider experience and can provide medication and injections to your baby. Thank you As a dog mom of 2, weekly pet care is a part of my schedule. I am available 24/7 to care for your pets needs. I offer a safe, loving, environment for both dogs and cats alike. My home is clean, I have a small yard and a huge field for the animals to run. We also do daily visits to the WEC dog park.

“Nicole and family are amazing. My pups Whiskey and Ziva love their time at doggy daycare and playing with their pup Jack. They are able to work with my schedule for the hospital which helps me out greatly as it can change. I absolutely recommend and will using them for the duration of my work assignment here in ocala and each time I visit.”



“This was our first time using Rover and it didn’t disappoint. We were traveling in our rv and needed a sitter for our pup while we explored the area for the day. I get very comfortable leaving my dog with Carissa. Sometimes our dog Winston can be anxious when we leave him with a sitter, but he seemed very comfortable with Carissa. He even ate his food which he never does if he’s nervous.”
