About: I’ve been caring for animals for 7 years—including my own 2 dogs, a 9 year old Pitbull mix named Autumn and 3 year old Deer Head Chihuahua named Bonita. I am comfortable administering oral medications, insulin, as well as caring for senior dogs and handling high-energy breeds as well as shy or anxious pups. I also have experience caring for cats of all ages and am comfortable administering medications for them as well. Whether we’re going on a 30-minute neighborhood walk or playing fetch, your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I send photo updates and detailed Rover cards after every visit so you never have to guess how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to make sure we’re a great fit! Send me a message to book a time! I am not currently working so I will have plenty of time to drop in as much as needed to care for your fur babies! During the week I am available until 5pm and weekends until 7pm. I specialize exclusively in drop-in visits and dog walking. Because I do not offer boarding at my apartment, your pets get my undivided attention exactly where they feel safest: right inside their own home. What I bring to the table: • Years of hands-on experience with both energetic dogs and independent cats. • A strong commitment to following your exact feeding, walking, and medication routines. • Consistent communication, including daily photo updates and peace of mind. • Absolute respect and care for your home while you are away.

“Aixa was wonderful! She came through for us as a last minute request. She was so thoughtful about sending pictures and giving us updates (and even bought a new toy for the cats - they're so spoiled now ?). She truly went above and beyond and the cats enjoyed her visits. Highly recommended!!”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets who may need a gentler approach and puppies who are still learning routines. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet gets personalized care, from playtime and walks to feeding, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I’m flexible and make sure to plan my days around the pets I care for, whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or evening feedings. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. Consistency and reliability are important to me, so you can always count on me to show up and give your pets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions to ensure they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their guidelines closely, maintaining their pet’s normal routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep harmful items out of reach, and pay attention to each pet’s body language to make sure they’re comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they know their pets are safe and well cared for at all times.

“Michael was fantastic with our dogs! We will definitely use him again! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had cats and dogs now for 10 years, always loving and professional with all animals! Whatever your need is, I will provide my best care possible! I am in college at the moment, but fully online. I do have a part-time job, but I will do my best to accommodate to your schedules! I always make sure their needs are respected and fulfilled thoroughly- Bathroom-breaks, food schedules, and I always make sure they have clean water as well! I absolutely adore animals and always respect their boundaries and their owners. I only give them my best whether that may be long walks or extra pets and cuddles depending on your pet and situation with them!

About: My many years of owning pets and working at a veterinarian facility has given me many different experiences with pets. My love for pets would be shown in the love and care I would provide for each any every pet I take care of. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, and 1 bearded dragon, with each one getting equal love and care. I would provide your pet with the same love and care that I give my own pets. If you choose me as your sitter or walker, know that I have the years of experience and understanding of different pets and know that each pet has its own personality. I look forward to getting to know each of your pets. I am currently doing online classes right now to better my self. I have more time then I use to, to help others that may not have as much time as they would like to help with their pets. I am unable to watch any pets at my personal home because of one of my dogs doesn’t like other pets. But I would take care of someone else’s home like it was my own with my own animals. If a fence is available we would play outside. If not we would walk around the neighborhood.

“Jasmine was amazing!! She came to meet my dogs before my last minute trip (last minute as in a few hours prior having to leave!) My dogs loved her immediately and was on time for each walk will be making her my go to dog sitter from now on ☺️”

About: Ive cared for many pets in the past and rest assured I'll provide comfort and patience while caring for your pet and treat them as if they were my own. This has always been a passion of mine and I cant wait to help others. Your pet will be in good hands while you're gone. I try to work with caring for pets on my days off from work.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, groom, and bathe their pets. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 8 years and have extensive experience with grooming, pet sitting, and managing a variety of temperaments and breeds. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or basic grooming, I'm here to help! I own my own dog grooming business, which means I spend my days surrounded by pups! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs midday care, companionship, or just some extra love, I’m here to help! For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air. I also have a spare room set up just for pups, giving them a comfortable, quiet space to relax when they’re not enjoying playtime inside the house. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once and make sure every pup gets individual attention, enrichment, and care in a calm, structured environment. When walking dogs in a client’s neighborhood, I always use a double leash system one with the pet's own leash and another with mine to ensure extra safety and prevent any chances of slipping out. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications or topical treatments if needed. Your dog’s well being, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities.

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.

“Leora is very dependable and does a great job taking care of our Ollie, especially making sure he has his morning meds. I am very appreciative of her!”
