Cat Sitting Okahumpka

“Shawn and Bethany took great care of our two kittens over the Thanksgiving holiday week. They provided updates and photos so we could stay connected to their experience, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When it was time to pick up our kittens, Bethany had them, and their essentials, ready to go. Thank you for the great experience. We will use them again in the future and highly recommend their service.”

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats in my family since birth and dogs since I was about five, and I was taught early on that loving animals means taking responsibility for their care. Over the past 10 years of living on my own, I’ve cared for my own dogs, a cat, rats, and reptiles. They’ve all had different personalities and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each animal feel comfortable and secure. The handsome pup in my profile photo is my dog, King! I have a particular soft spot for bully breeds and their big personalities, but my love for animals doesn’t stop at any breed or species. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, respect their quirks, and give them patient, attentive care while you’re away. I plan pet care around my work schedule, accepting bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. My dog, King, is staying with family in New Jersey while I work toward getting my own place in Florida. Caring for your pets lets me do something I love while working toward bringing my boy home! Animals have always seemed comfortable approaching me—I joke that I have a little Disney princess energy! But I know trust happens on their terms. I pay close attention to body language and adapt to each pet’s personality, energy, and comfort level. With nervous pets, I’m patient, give them space, and never rush affection or interaction. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and familiar routines, respect your space, and keep you updated. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away.

“Cassidy did a great job with Keke! She was consistent and communicated well before, during, and after visits. She treated my pet as if he was her own! I absolutely plan on booking her again.”

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a proud dog owner of several breeds and a cat owner, and caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I'm happy to provide the individualized care they deserve. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, trustworthy, punctual, and attentive to every detail. I communicate regularly, follow instructions carefully, and will always treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while making sure your pet feels loved, happy, and cared for until you return. I can't wait to meet you and your wonderful furry family members! Thank you for considering me. It would be a privilege to care for your beloved pets. I also wanted to note that my absolute favorite dog breed are Pugs, I grew up with three of them! — Lyndsay 🐾 Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me happiness. I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with them, whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply enjoying each other's company. Being able to care for pets throughout my week is incredibly rewarding, and I love knowing that I'm providing them with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. There's nothing more fulfilling to me than earning the trust of both pets and their families and treating every furry friend as if they were my own. Every pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each animal and am committed to providing personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet has a specific routine, dietary requirements, medication schedule, or simply needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I will do my best to accommodate their needs with compassion, attentiveness, and care. My goal is to create a calm, trusting environment where your pet feels secure and receives the same love and respect I would give my own.

“Great experience! She took good care of my cats, was reliable, and communicated well throughout the stay. I appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. Thank you!”

About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.

“This is the 2nd time Sophia has watched my cat while I was away on a trip and she is phenomenal. She sends lots of pictures and specific updates. When I come home I can always tell my cat has been well cared for! I highly recommend booking her for your pet care needs 😊”

Faith M.

“Isabel is an incredible pet sitter! She was able to take care of my cats at the last minute and would send regular updates about how they were doing throughout the trip! I will be using her in the future!”

Andrew P.

“This was my first time boarding my kittens, and I was very nervous, but Adreana made the entire experience wonderful. She checked in with me daily and sent lots of pictures. I’ll definitely have Adreana care for them again on my next vacation! Thank you :)”

Natoya M.

“Maria is an amazing care taker. She has watched my cat by visit and boarding overnights. I got so many pictures and videos it made it easy to see he was well loved and taken care of. If you’re looking for someone to love your animal like you do… she’s the perfect match!”

About: With over 4 years of professional dog handling/training experience, I aim to keep your furry friend safe and happy! Before we get to my experience, I just want to mention that I am wheelchair bound, so I prefer to stick to walking smaller dogs unless they are well-mannered on a leash! The size of animal is not a concern if a walk is not a requirement! For drop ins, it would require a mostly accessible entrance into the home. I can do a single small step, but otherwise zero-entry would be the most ideal! I have worked alongside a dog trainer who also offers boarding services for the past 4 years, I have volunteered for many animal shelters, including Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando for 2 years, I have been training my own dogs for the past 14 years, including training my current service dog, and I have previously shadowed veterinarians in a clinic environment. I absolutely love both dogs and cats, and I can assure you that they will be in great hands! I truly can’t wait to get in touch with you and meet your fur baby!! I currently work a part-time job, but often get scheduled full-time hours. I usually work between the hours of 8 and 6:30, so I can do night checks on my work days. My guaranteed days off are Monday and Tuesday, and I could complete as many drop ins as needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy! I want to make sure that your baby stays comfortable, especially with a stranger coming into the home. I am very well versed on animal behaviour and body language, so I will never rush or force an interaction. I plan to follow the same schedule that you would as an owner, so that their schedule remains the same, even without a family member present. I will also make sure that the pet parents are staying updated with photos and messages throughout the day to maintain trust and communication!

“We have used Kristina many times for both drop in visits and in home care. She is always spot on with taking care of our pup! 100 percent recommend!”

About: My interest in becoming a pet sitter started when I was still a child and the neighbors’ dogs who I’d befriended tracked me to my house to come to the kitchen door and ask if I could come out to play. Since then, I've been caring for dogs as early as litters of puppies to their adult and senior years. I’m dog and cat CPR certified which luckily I’ve never had to use but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I’ve cared for many breeds.. mixed, purebreds, super well-trained to shy and needing some encouragement. I love taking caring of animals and being apart of their routine. I’m happy to go into more detail with you as requested or booked services offer us a chance to chat! Taking care of pets is part of my daily life. I own a Siberian husky and I'm usually offering pet care services 7 days a week. I have a good sized 2 bedroom apartment that can accommodate me, up to 2 medium or large size dogs, big comfortable furniture, and plenty of room for playtime, naps, or just ease of maneuvering around. When a dog is daytime visiting or staying overnight I focus my attention here at home and keeping your pet comfortable, cared for, and as little worry to you as possible. When visiting your home I like to provide lots of playtime/walks, cuddles, and I’m a reader so a quiet companionship is always part of a stay as well. Taking care of pets is apart of my daily life.
