“Alexis took such good care of my girls. She was also amazing during the meet and greet with my crazy boy Archie (I already had him booked for refresher training during this trip). I’ll definitely be going to Alexis as a trusted sitter for my tribe from here on out!”


“Crystal is great! We’ve been using her to pet sit for about a year now. She is friendly and very communicative and she takes great care of our very senior dog and cats”


“Christian was so great. She was flexible with her meet and greet times and when she showed up to meet Chester, she was friendly as can be and Chester was immediately comfortable with her (which is somewhat rare because he’s a pretty nervous boy). She stayed at our house for the weekend while we traveled and I couldn’t even tell we had a guest when we got back home because she was clean, tidy, and respectful of our space. The best part of her services, though, was how communicative she was - my husband and I were extremely busy on our trip and it was so comforting that each time I had a few minutes to check my phone, I had lots of pictures and messages that our Chester was doing well. We will be using Christian again for our house/dog sitting needs! Would definitely recommend her!”


“Ligia was an excellent choice for our fur babies . She sent photos of both dogs and kept us up to date with their care. She left our home clean and tidy and gave notice when she arrived and left . We are greatful for her care”


“So polite and professional. Took amazing care of my baby. Will be booking again.”


“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”


“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”


“First, huge thank you to Rose for watching our babies. I have a dog and cat, Rose house sat with them for 2 weeks while we were away. the pets were WELL taken care of. we got constant photos from her to ensure we knew the babies were OK. the house looked great when we came back and out pets didn't seem stressed at all. we saw them fetching, snuggled in, and we'll taken care of anytime we checked in. would recommend for overnights or short walks”


“Laura was a wonderful sitter! she took excellent care of our pups & sent frequent updates/photos throughout her stay. I would highly recommend her! She went above & beyond to take great care of our dogs. She made our dogs feel very comfortable & they really enjoyed hanging out with her. Thank you so much Laura!! 😊”


“Pam was AMAZING with our 2 cats and our dog. We had her stay at our house and she was the perfect sitter. We had flight issues and she had no problem extending her stay for another night. It is scary leaving your pets, but Pam put our minds at ease! We will definitely be using her again (:”


About: I love all animals but specialize in dog care. I watch my family and friends pets when they are out of town, including house sitting options where I stay in their home. We go on walks around the neighborhood or to the park. I'm pretty active with them as I enjoy being outside a lot. :) I work full time which leads my clients into the option of me staying in their home if they are gone overnight often. I also have the weekends off. If you need me to just drop by once or twice a day I can also fit that into my schedule most days except Mondays may be a bit challenging. I do not have a pet of my own because my current living situation does not allow for animals. Which is another reason why I want to pet-sit because I miss the presence and comfort of being around fur babies :) I usually stay in my clients house or will drop by 1-3x a day to ensure the animals go potty, have water and food. I am skilled in dog walking and leash handling. I am highly observant of the warning signs if an animal is in distress.

“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was 6. i currently work for dog boarding. I’ve been told i’m a very reliable worker I’m in college but doing online so i am home. i work 2 jobs but take off for the babies :) i am available to walk. i can sit anytime needed I take my animals out a lot and play ball with them i pick up after my dogs and do everything needed to keep them safe

“We had a great experience with Mandy! She stayed in our home for five nights to care for our pack—two dogs and two cats—and when we got home, everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our home was in good shape when we returned, and we appreciated her thoughtfulness and communication throughout the stay. We’d work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter!”


“Excellent job. Took great care of our babies, even left a note on the days events. We will use him again and highly recommend him.”


“We are absolutely thrilled with Toree!! My dogs pulled me aside & begged for her to be one of our regular sitters. They loved her so much! She took great care of my babies, was kind, patient, & attentive. We had an unexpected family emergency & she was incredibly helpful. We are so thankful we found Toree 🐶”


About: Hey guys! My name is Kayley, I am originally from TN, moved to FL in 2023. I have a ton of animal experience. For many years, I did house sitting for quite a few people for quite a range of animals. I have watched horses, dogs, cats, pigs, llamas, alpacas, goats, chickens, ducks, pretty much any livestock animal you can think of. I have also worked at a doggy daycare and took dog handling classes (which also includes animal behavior classes). I am in Pet First Aid classes through Red Cross right now so I can be certified in that too. I have done a lot of pet first aid for my animals, animals on the streets and animals of friends/neighbors. The few places I have lived people would bring strays or their own animals to me and my roommate so we can evaluate the animals to assist in any way possible. I am NOT certified in anything, this is just knowledge I have from growing up in TN around all the farms I have worked on. I have taken quite a few animals off of the streets and either kept them or got them in with reputable rescues. **Please be aware, I do work full time. Generally I am off on most weekends, other days I will either work 8-5 or 9-6 so I will be able to care for animals outside of that timeframe. I do have a roommate as well (she is also a Rover sitter) so if your animal stays with me or comes to my home, my roommate is also here and can assist as well. Generally at least one of us are home, if we happen to both be out, it is one of us at work and the other headed home from work or we are running a quick errand. I also do have a vet reference that I am happy to share as well, we are well known at our vets office for our animals we take in from the streets and my dog with her health issues. (I do not have any animals from the streets in my home right now so no worries with sickness or anything, all of my animals are UTD on their vaccines.) **If you have multiple (more than 3) animals, please reach out and we can negotiate a price on the stay. I am a full time worker and I am also a part time (online) student. I have availability every day of the week, I can stay at your home or come to your home before and after my day job. I am able to care for animals in my home or in yours. I am open to anything that you normally do on a daily basis with your animals as to not cause a huge disruption to their daily schedule.


“Dani was wonderful to work with and made our trip so much better knowing the dogs were having a great time! ❣️”


“Kyla did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was very quick to respond and asked great questions to prepare herself for our dogs needs. We appreciate you Kyla!”

20. Nhi B.
“I was in a bind and going to be admitted into the hospital and needed to find someone to watch my miniature Poodle and didn’t know Honey at the time and put my full trust in her taking care of my baby. She was so great with caring for him and always updated me and that really put me at ease. I have had her take Maverick a few other times after that when I needed to have him taken care of when I had to leave town and couldn’t take him along. She always interacted with Maverick like he was her own loving pet. I would highly recommend anyone needing their dog taken care of and having Honey take them on. It’s good to note that I don’t trust many people or kennels for my taking my dog and that should tell you a lot about Honey.”
