“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”

About: I love animals and have owned birds (zebra finches), ferrets, a dog (Labrador Retriever) and a cat (Domestic Shorthair). During my days in the College of Central Florida, I worked with the two horses they had there: a Thoroughbred named Ellie and an Arabian named Dolly. After graduating with my certificate in equine science, I volunteered at a cat shelter where I swept the floor, cleaned the litter boxes, and socialized the cats. Currently planning on owning a snake (most likely a red-tailed boa) one day. I am a currently unemployed night owl who is free to watch over any and all pets daily day or night throughout the entire week. I make sure that no pet gets into places they don't belong, eat things they shouldn’t eat, or go outside without a leash or harness.

“Couldn’t be happier , very accommodating and willing to work with you ! She took wonderful care of Sam We really appreciated the regular updates and photos,it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned.”

About: Hi, I am Cindy! I’m a passionate pet lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends.

I understand how much pets mean to their families, which is why I prioritize communication, sending daily updates, and photos, so you always know your pet is in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving caregiver for your furry family member, I would love to meet you and your pet! Details I have my husband Chris on my account because awhile back we used to be able to take pets in our home. We have recently moved to Inverness and no longer have a fenced yard so we have discontinued that service for now. He does not accompany me for housesitting but he may stop by to bring me dinner once in awhile. Rest assured he has also been fully screened through Rover. We still have a demanding Lucky (our cat) at home that needs him. I know life can be unpredictable, which is why I am available 24/7 to care for your pets whenever you need me. Whether it’s an last minute trip, planned vaction, just an overnight stay, or an extended trip, I am here to provide flexible and reliable care tailored to your schedule.

Let’s work together to make sure your furry friend gets the care they deserve, whenever you need it! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I strive to provide a calm, secure, and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine to the letter, ensuring they feel safe and secure in their familiar surroundings. I am committed to treating your home with respect and keeping it just as you left it. I take trust seriously, providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you’ll always know your furry family member is well cared for. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or sticking to special instructions, I am here to give you peace of mind and your pet the love and care they deserve.

About: I’ve had and cared for all species of animals my whole life. From lizards, to chickens, to even water buffalo. I cannot imagine my life without animals I work from home so I can make my own schedule. I have my own critters to take care of so I’m always out and about At home I take care of my critters 2x a day. My horses I only have to feed once a day but I still drive by to get my eyes on them. I like to see my animals and make sure everyone is ok at least 2x a day

“Patty was absolutely AMAZING! She communicated well before, during and after the stay. She consistently sent photos and kept us up to date on our dog. She was very respectful and would definitely use her in the future!”

Debra B.

“We used Mildred to watch our sweet Maultese dog and she is so attentive to Mandy (or dog)I gave her directions on her care while we are on a long Vacation to California and she followed it to a T. Mildred notified us on any need of our pup. Mildred sent cute pictures also. Our little dog don’t like storms and Mildred stayed with her so not alone and scared. You will never get a better doggie sitter than her. Or any animal .We will use her again,again,and again.”

About: Additional fee of $1.5 Per mile if you’re more than 10 miles away from me I have to take Lyft to get to you. No pick up and drop off fee will be applied if you’re in walking distance. Hey there! I’m Yaritza if that’s to hard for you to pronounce you can just call me Rover, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. I’ve been a dog enthusiast since I was 10 years old—basically a lifetime of wagging tails and slobbery kisses! I have a guide dog who thinks she’s the real boss around here, and she’s always ready to make new friends (just as long as they don’t steal her treats). With 14 years of experience wrangling cats and 12 years of dog adventures under my belt, I’m well-versed in the art of pet pampering. I love walking and playing with dogs, whether they’re zooming around like puppies or taking it easy like wise old sages. I’ve even house-sat for senior dogs, and let me tell you, they know how to live the good life! While I don’t drive, I’ve mastered the fine art of navigating with my guide dog and making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companions I currently have a flexible schedule since I’m not working, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and give them all the love they need. I'm happy to help out on holidays or weekends, too! I believe that good communication with pet owners is key, so I’m always here to chat and make sure we’re on the same page. I will wake up anywhere from 7 to 9 am and give everyone breakfast and medications if needed. Can get up earlier if your pet requires me too for their daily routine. If a walk is In their schedule, I will do that first before breakfast then depending on how tired they are they will wait for half an hour to an hour before having their breakfast. This is due to the heat so they’re walking as early as possible. If your pet is on a different schedule, of course I will follow that so please make sure you provide your pets schedule and medications otherwise they will use the schedule I have below *Water is provided throughout the day unless resting after walks. *The rest of the times that are not outlining the schedule or spent either playing your pet or cuddling with them whichever they prefer *7-8 am Early walk to avoid the heat *7-8 breakfast and bathroom break meds if need if they didn’t need a walk if they went on a walk depending on how tired they are I will have them wait for half an hour to an hour before breakfast *10am-12pm bathroom break *2-4pm bathroom break *5-6pm dinner meds if need *7-8pm short walk if not dark outside. *10pm bedtime Pet safety is my top priority, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your furry friends are in good hands. When dogs are in my care, they will always be leashed to ensure their safety and to help prevent any unexpected adventures! As someone with a disability, I take extra care in handling your pets, especially when it comes to taking them for walks. I believe that a smooth and safe experience for both the pet and the caregiver is essential. To further enhance their safety and identification, I will change their collars to Martindale collars with bells. These collars not only look great but also help keep track of your pets, especially if they decide to explore a bit too much! When your pets are in their own home, the only change will be the collars, so they can feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to keep to their routines, so I will be diligent about following their schedules and any specific needs you may have. Communication is key, so I’m always open to discussing any additional preferences you have to ensure your pets feel happy and safe while I care for them.

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

“Lisa was wonderful! She came over the day before to meet our puppy Maple. They became instant friends. She took Maple for a walk and made sure she was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her for pet sitting.”
