House Sitting Okahumpka

“I can't recommend Matt enough! I had a last minute need to go out of town and met with Matt, literally days, before I had to leave. I was immediate comfortable with him. I have three pets, a senior chi, a male hating cat (not viscous, just hides) and a 4 month old puppy. He took great care of the senior, kept my puppy happy and occupied and even got the cat to like him and purr. I got pictures every day and the house was left immaculate. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again!!!”

“Natalie watched our 12 year old dog and she did an amazing job! Natalie provided daily updates and photos and communicated well with us while we were gone. I would recommend Natalie to anyone needed in home care!”

“Leslie was an absolute dream. Our other sitter fell through, so we reached out to Leslie and she was amazing with the pups. She was great at communicating and took our puppy on lots of walks. I would recommend her over and over again. We appreciated her help last minute so much!”

“Can’t thank Sandy enough for taking such good care of my pups while I was gone. I get really nervous about new people watching them but after I saw Sandy interact with them I could go on my trip without constantly worrying & that means so much! Definitely booking again :)”

“Misty is a lifesaver, so happy we connected. She stayed at the house with my Malinois for 4 days and when I got home, my dog was happy and healthy, and the house looked like Misty wasn’t there (she cleaned, did laundry, and left no trace). The peace of mind is priceless and I recommend Misty.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2, I also have had guinea pigs and fish before. I have training in taking care of young puppies prepping for potty training and minor injuries. My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, and I currently have full availability to accommodate your needs. I will notify in advance other wise. Taking out to bathroom when crying, playing when bored or lonely, giving treats periodically, feeding when time, occasionally washing after playing outside or smelling bad.

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.

“Emily is great! Took great care of my dog who has a bit of anxiety. Made sure that Reggie was comfortable during the stay.”

About: Hi, my name is Nahiara and i’m a student here for a part-time job to cover my collage expenses. I’ve worked with friends and family pets (including chickens and ferrets) I have two dogs Max and Charlee they are both trained and vaccinated. I’m a reliable caretaker!💖 I currently study so I’m available mostly weekends Friday through Sunday anytime. But we can always work around the schedule if needed during weekdays . I’m lucky enough to have a big neighborhood and backyard to provide just enough space to walk around your pups and provide play with treats and toy of your choice!

“Teri is great! This is the second time we’ve used her and both have been exceptional. She stayed for 8 days this time and just goes above and beyond to ensure we come home happy. Emerson really enjoys her visits, and that is unusual. He doesn’t let many people play with him, but Teri has made a friend. We have no concerns having Teri stay for long sits. We really feeel blessed to have her. Jim and Cindy”

About: I’ve had the joy of staying overnight with and checking in on my friends’ and neighbors’ cats and dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering meds, managing high-energy dogs, and giving extra scritches ☺️ I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets! Evening and/or weekend visits will only be occasional. I’ll do whatever I can to help your pets feel safe and loved. Please let me know how I can go the extra mile to let them feel special!

I’m familiar with many different breeds and personalities, including Bichon Frises, English Bulldogs, Shiba Inus, Pit Bulls, and many others.

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.

“We are new in town and had to find someone to care for our dog, Pete. We were so fortunate to have found Pat to stay in our home while we were out of town. Part is kind, attentive and very loving. Pete was happy as were we. We highly recommend Pat for your dog sitting!”

About: Hi, my name is Bri! I just moved back to FL after recently graduating! I grew up around all kinds of animals, mainly dogs. I've always had a soft spot for dogs. I used to walk neighborhood dogs and go to animal shelters just to walk them and play with all the animals when I was younger. I am a dog mom myself to a 6 year old Border Collie Lab Mix. I understand how difficult it is to trust your pet with a stranger, but you have my promise that I will treat your dog as if he or she were my own, and that all of their needs will be met! My dog isn't easy to handle, therefore I'm always up for a challenge! My dog, Mya, has food sensitivities and is quite shy, so I'm used to dealing with these kind of situations and will do my best to assist your dog! I am currently a full-time college student, but now that majority of my courses are online I have a lot of time to play with your pups! I am free on weekdays and weekends at any time! I have a fenced backyard at my house and a crate if needed! I normally take my dog to dog parks to play with other dogs or nature trails.

“Winter went out of her way to arrange meeting our dog and getting our house key. She stayed in constant communication with us giving updates and sending pictures. We appreciate her so much and will definitely use her in the future!”
