House Sitting Pine Castle

“Isabella was excellent! She did a wonderful job staying with my skittish orange cat, Sushi. I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her house sit again!”

“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”

“Ana was phenomenal with Jeter. She listened and understood what our needs were for him. She was so sweet and she sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well! Jeter loved her as well. We already booked her for a future date!”

About: I've had the privilege of not only helping care for my family’s previous and current dog but also the pets of others. When I lived with my family and we would occasionally watch over our friend's dog in our home so I would help care for a dog then! I've also done in home dog sits with a variety of dogs. I love many animals including dogs. Growing up I personally had a fish and a guinea pig who lived a long life, then our family dog! I currently live in a home with no pets and will be the sole caregiver of your dog. Though, I would love to have my own dog some day!🐶 I currently have a flexible schedule which will allow me to care for your dogs when you need. I try to keep free on Sunday! I will gladly drop by to give your dog a walk or a just some love and attention if that's what it needs and you want! Let me know if they are shy and need time to warm up. And how can I best care for the home and environment around it such as where to park, any gate codes, and the best way to enter your home.

“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”

“Isis was great. She took the time to do a meet and greet before my trip, to get the lay of the land and meet the pups. Throughout the tip got regular updates about how the pups were getting on, and very responsive to messages sent throughout the trip.”

About: Hi! My name is Esmeralda, and I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers to Pit Bulls and everything in between, I've had the privilege of raising and caring for dogs throughout every stage of life. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality and needs. Before joining Rover, I regularly provided dog sitting and drop-in visits for family members and members of my church community while living in Puerto Rico. Those and my personal experiences taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. What sets me apart is that I don't believe in "just watching" your pet—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and give them the attention they deserve, whether that's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a dog mom myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free experience, with regular updates and plenty of love every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work a part-time remote job, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. As a dog owner myself, I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets receive lots of love and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. •Daily Pet Care Schedule 8:00 AM – Morning Routine Morning potty break/walk Fresh water refill Breakfast feeding Morning playtime and attention 12:00 PM – Midday Check-In Potty break Short walk or play session Fresh water check Extra attention and companionship 4:00 PM – Afternoon Activity Walk or outdoor time Playtime and enrichment activities Check on comfort and needs 6:00 PM – Dinner Time Evening meal Fresh water refill Relaxation and affection 8:00–9:00 PM – Evening Routine Final potty break/walk Calm playtime or cuddles Ensure pets are comfortable before bedtime I understand every pet has their own routine, so I’m always happy to adjust feeding, walking, and care schedules based on each owner’s instructions and their pet’s individual needs. In my client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable staying in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while keeping owners updated,whether thats through videos or pictures, so they have peace of mind and show how their pets well being. Every pet is treated like family and cared for with the same love and patience I give my own. House Sitting 🐾 ***Please note that my dog, Frida, will accompany me during house-sitting stays. Because she is part of my daily routine, she will be with me throughout the stay. By booking house sitting with me, you acknowledge and agree to Frida being present in your home. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, comfort level, and any concerns during our required meet & greet before accepting the booking.

“Makenna was amazing! Very communicative and sent lots of sweet photos during the stay. We could tell our pup loved her. Don’t hesitate to book with Makenna!”

Kristina H.

“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”

Jonathan G.

“Alison was an absolutely incredible during my house sitting! She sent lots of pictures and videos and left my house in perfect condition. So happy to have found her!”

Morgan L.

“We feel so fortunate to have found Makenzy! She did an amazing job caring for our two large dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She kept us posted with updates and pictures, and all our animals loved her. She will definitely be our go to person for any future pet-sitting needs!”

Courtney B.

“Alicia is THE BEST! My doggie can be very picky and afraid and Alicia made this easy for me (1st time Rover user). If you are hesitant at all about trying Rover out- don’t be. The experience couldn’t have been better. Alicia made time to let us meet her before we left for the week, she took pictures of our doggie while we were away, gave her meds, and was so patient with not just Reefie- but her doggy mom, me! She also left a little gift bag and sanitized before we got home. Alicia, thank you so much for everything. ?????”

Cassie M.

“Youm did an amazing job with our dog! Communication was outstanding and made us feel comfortable that our dog was being loved and taken care of. She even handled a minor household emergency (not her fault) perfectly and professionally. Would highly recommend her and will book with her again.”

Mark O.

“Showed up on time, asked intelligent questions about our dog to make sure she had all the information necessary, and was pleasant and courteous. Our dog liked her immediately and was happy and relaxed when we came home. A very comforting feeling!”

Beth M.

“Paula (aka Maria) was excellent! Another sitter that I had booked months ago for a trip out of the country cancelled at the last minute (2 weeks before departure) and that's when I found Paula. She came for a meet and greet, asked all the right questions and we agreed we were a great fit. She took exceptionally great care of my home and my pup while I was away. She updated me daily with pictures, took care of getting the mail, watching the pool water levels and all the little things that needed attention while I was away...including making sure I had enough food for my pup when I got back. She made sure the house was left "better than she found it", something not all sitters do. I am most grateful for the peace of mind I had while away.”

Shontell C.

“Jonathan has a clear love for animals and he did a tremendous job with our dog and cat. Great updates, very timely and house was spotless. Would highly recommend, in fact, we are already hiring him for a second job in a few weeks!!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve cared for friends and family dogs on multiple occasions and have experience helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your pup feels as comfortable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment for your pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll care for your dog with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for evening walks and drop-in visits after work. On weekends, I have much more flexibility, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to pet sitting and making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and companionship. I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a dog-friendly apartment community with access to a fenced dog park and plenty of areas for walks. I also have two other roommates who are comfortable around dogs and help create a welcoming environment. When caring for dogs in my home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving space where they can stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and lots of attention and affection. My goal is to help every dog feel comfortable, happy, and at home during their stay.

About: Loved all animals for a very long time. I have enjoyed caring for family pets and have loved every second of it. Now I’m ready to treat your pet like another family member! Currently working part-time and a UCF student. I love animals and always have! One fun fact is a lot of owners that say their animals aren’t usually nice to new faces, their pet has liked me automatically I respect your extra member of the family and am eager to help out any way I can. I follow clear instructions even if some may believe it’s “too much” I don’t.
