About: Animals have always been attracted to me and felt comfortable with me. I have a few months experience in a vets office and over 1 year now as a private pet sitter. I work part time at a brewery, and have plenty of availability to watch pets. I can come to your house multiple times throughout the day and even stay over night if that’s what you prefer 😊 I usually like to set up a meet & greet and take notes on each pet to have as much information about them before my stay.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.

“We just recently bought a 2nd home in Hernando Beach, FL. I don't really know my neighbors much. So I decided to use the Rover App. as I knew there was gonna be a couple days, that we were going to be gone most of the day. I found Krystal and I am sure happy we found her. She was so loving and caring of our 3 little yorkie girls. When she would drop in she would check in on the app. and when she was leaving she would check out. During her stay, she would let me know through the app. what each dog did, meaning letting me know how many potty breaks and what duties they did outside. She also let me know if they drank some water during her stay or how long of a walk they did. She would hang out with them and give them time to chill before she left. The best part I got so many loving pictures and video's of our girls during Krystal's drop in. She also did feed my girls a couple of times when we needed her too. She did such an amazing job and took such good care of our precious babies. Thank you Krystal, when we head down to the home again, I am sure I will be in contact with you to watch the girls.”

About: You want your pet to feel happy, safe, and comfortable at home while you’re out of town? You’ve got it! 🐾 I’m Estefania, a certified veterinary assistant/technician, professional dog groomer, and longtime animal lover with 17+ years of hands on experience. I coordinate dog adoptions through our nonprofit organization and also work independently to educate, rescue, rehabilitate, and advocate for homeless pets and animals in need. I’m experienced with all kinds of pet care needs, including administering medications, wound care, preparing special meals, and making accommodations for pets with medical, behavioral, or special needs. I’m also backed by local veterinary resources when something outside the normal scope of pet sitting comes up. For our Sarasota area sitting, I’m fortunate to have my longtime friend Jen Semro joining me. Jen is retired and has been caring for pets since the 1980s. She lives a quiet, peaceful lifestyle and has always had a genuine love for animals. She enjoys photography and resin art in her free time and is the perfect person to provide calm, consistent companionship. Jen will be the primary sitter and will handle the day to day care, while I remain involved and available to provide my veterinary technician knowledge and additional support whenever needed. Together, we bring decades of combined pet care experience and a very personal approach to every animal we care for. We intentionally keep our pet care small and personal rather than taking on a large number of animals at once. Our goal is for your pet to receive genuine attention and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible. We can accommodate pets who need extra patience, special routines, medications, senior care, or simply a little more love and reassurance. For house sitting, we’ll accommodate our schedule around your pet’s needs so they can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. We’re happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and being cared for. About us: 🐾 Animal lovers 🐾 Veterinary assistant/technician experience 🐾 Professional dog groomer experience 🐾 Jen has provided pet care since the 1980s 🐾 Experienced with senior, special needs, nervous, and challenging pets 🐾 Rescue and rehabilitation experience 🐾 Reliable and safety focused 🐾 Personalized, low volume care 🐾 Local veterinary resources and support Why I love caring for animals: As far back as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with animals. When I was about 9 years old, I became involved with Cat Tails and More, a local nonprofit organization, where I began learning how to work with and understand dogs on a deeper level. That early experience grew into a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build amazing relationships with animals while also helping their people better understand them. Whether it’s a goofy pup , a nervous rescue, a senior who needs extra care, or a pet who simply wants someone nearby, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐾 Whether I’m at home or in your home I follow /adapt to each pets usual routine so that they feel as nothing has changed . I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company . I prefer not to crate but I will if necessary. I have many references from clients who ask me to stay in their home.

About: Ever since I was little my family has always owned some type of animal. We’ve owned 4 English bulldogs, a cat, a hamster and 2 ferrets. Now, I myself own a 1 year old miniature dachshund named Franklin. I love taking care of all animals and making sure they get the proper care they need and more. I currently work about 30 hours a week. My schedule isn’t the same every week so depending on what time and days I work, I set aside time to make sure I can come and take care of any pets that need it, whether it’s on my days off, or before or after work. In my clients homes all pets will have clean fresh water and will be fed given the directions of the owner. The pets will also get plenty of exercise whether it’s playing in their backyard or going on a walk. Along with playing inside with their toys. I also make sure that pets feel comfortable in their own home and will make sure they get lots of love and attention.

“Thank you for bringing a calming energy when meeting our dogs l!”

“I can’t say enough about Kelli & Victoria. They took such good care of my girl! There were very communicative and spent quality with her and made sure my picky eater ate everyday! Will definitely use their services again!”

“Chris was wonderful! He took care of my dog at my home for 8 days. He showed up on time or early for every visit, stayed longer than required and did everything properly. My dog really likes him! I had to go out of town on short notice, and Chris came right over to meet us, and came back both morning and night to see her routine. He took very good pictures in the Rover app that reassured me that Bella was in good hands I highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve been loving and taking care of animals all my life. I’ve loved them since I was a baby. I try to save every stray! I’m retired and looking for something to do that brings me joy and this is it. I’m available anytime during the day and the evening I will be caring for pets in other peoples homes but I have a fenced yard for my babies but monitor their time in the heat and cold.

About: I am skilled in various types of petcare ranging from a variety of animals. Such as: cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fish, tortoises, and many more. I have experience working with clients on Rover as well and have high ratings. I enjoy working with animals. I'm currently available most weekends and holidays, but it is important for me to have at least a week of notice before a sitting/walking appointment. I will take amazing care of any animal. I’m super willing to help with giving medications and I will follow each rule specifically how a client wants it followed.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs and cats needing extra attention. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to connect with animals quickly. I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s sticking to routines, administering meds, or just giving them the love and calm energy they need to feel safe while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have open availability and the flexibility to give pets my full attention. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for is always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for their space. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors locked and secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment for the pet. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates so clients feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“Kept me updated on my babies. Sent the best pics. I did not worry one bit. I knew my pups were in loving caring hands. Will definitely rebook”

About: I used to work at an animal hospital. And I used to work out a dog at daycare. I’m trying to start my own animal sitting job. I’m trying to save up the money to go back to school to be a vet veterinarian technician to work in the animal hospital again. The pet car fit into my daily and weekly routine is because I take care of four dogs at home. I love working with animals and I want to have my own doggy daycare one day. How I care for pets in my home is feeding them, playing with them, taking them out walking them. I love taking care of animals.

About: I've been caring for animals for over fifteen years — starting with my own two dogs and quickly becoming the person friends and neighbors called first when they traveled. What began as favors turned into something I take seriously: I've looked after everything from eight-week-old puppies to a seventeen-year-old cat who needed delicate care and put on a diet on a strict schedule. Two things set me apart. First, puppy and senior dogs: I've raised three puppies through their first year, so I'm comfortable with leash pulling and senior care. As older pets need a slower pace, gentler handling, and someone who notices small changes — a limp, a skipped meal, a little more stiffness in the morning. I send daily updates with photos, and I'm not shy about calling you if something seems off. I also handle the less glamorous parts without complaint: medication routines, post-surgery restrictions, cats who want nothing to do with me for the first three days, and homes that need to be left exactly as I found them. Mornings, before work. Early morning is my best slot. I can walk dogs starting around 6:00 a.m. through roughly 8:30 a.m., so your dog gets a real walk and a bathroom break before the day starts — not a rushed five-minute loop around the block. Mid-day, on my work breaks. I get a lunch break and a couple of shorter breaks, and I can use them for walks or drop-in visits. That's the gap most owners worry about the long stretch between the morning walk and coming home. I can break it up, so your dog isn't waiting eight hours. Exact timing varies a little by the day, so tell me your ideal mid-day window and I'll tell you honestly whether it fits. After work. I'm available again in the late afternoon and early evening, typically from around 5:30 p.m. onward, for a longer walk or a play session. Before bedtime. I can also do a final walk late in the evening — usually between 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. — so your dog ends the day with a bathroom break instead of a long overnight wait. For puppies and senior dogs, that last walk often matters most. Weekends. My availability is wider on weekends, so morning, mid-day, and evening walks are all easier to arrange. I keep a regular weekly rotation, so repeat bookings hold the same time slot week after week, and I'll confirm every booking in advance. If your dog needs a set walk time that isn't on this list, ask — I can often shuffle things around. I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.
