“Sheryl is absolutely incredible!! If I could give 25 stars I would!! She came every day like clockwork. She not only gave the babies what they needed as far as food and water, but gave them all the love and cuddles, as well as kept us abreast of any Situation that may or may not have needed attention. That kind of care and commitment isn’t always the norm and it is so appreciated! Thank you so much for alleviating any stress we had at home and allowing us to have an amazing wedding at a beautiful destination. Knowing our babies were well taken care of and loved was priceless. Definitely will book again.”

“Devon was absolutely fantastic. I was really anxious about being gone for a big chunk of time and leaving my elderly cat alone, but not only did Devon ease those worries with her check-ins, she even got the little grump to eat a few treats and come out of her hiding place occasionally. She set a great tone with her intro meeting, and I know Lila was well cared for. So appreciative!!!”

I follow all instructions closely, keep communication open with regular updates, and treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I give my own.

“Samara was such a great help in taking care of our Nemo while we were out of town! He is a very needy kitty (always needs human attention) and she gave him lots of love and pets while we were away. She gave us detailed updates with lots of pictures. We didn’t have to worry at all! Thanks so much Samara!”

“Kiersten goes above and beyond to care for Pepper. She sent lots of photos of my kitty playing and even showed when she would clean out litter box. I know my kitty had a great time with her and I will definitely keep her in mind when I need a sitter.”

Yaritza R.

“We moved too far from our previous sitter and we were fortunate that Laurie was able to step in on short notice. When we got home they had fresh water, food and clean litter boxes. Our four cats didn't seem happy to see us at all?. I'm going to take that as they were happy with Laurie.”

About: Hey! My name is Monica and I am originally from Louisiana but relocated to Florida for work purposes. I have 1 cat & a medium size dog along with having my spouse (ft in my profile picture) & my baby girl (15 mo currently) that all live in my house. We do have a nice size fenced in yard as well. Back home I took care of a few different types of animals & am very open to taking in any animal as long as they got along with my babies, human & animal kind alike. The pitties on my profiles are my original babies that I no longer have but they started this journey for me, my current puppy is the black & tan goofball you see featured after them followed by my tan cat; after that are just some extra pictures of my family/furry friends I’ve watched over the years for reference. We do have plenty of areas to go for walks & I am a big fan of dog parks for socializing if it is allowed. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds as I’ve grown up with animals, have taken care of my own animals for 8 years now, & have been doing Rover & wag for about 4 years now. Please message me if you have any questions! Can’t wait to meet you and your babies!! I currently run a fairly busy schedule as I am typically working 5 days a week at about 8 hrs a day but after work I usually go straight home to relax. I also have my partner who typically works different shifts than me & is home Thursdays/Fridays while I’m off Tuesdays/Wednesdays. We are both huge animal lovers & we love giving spoils. Although my schedule is hectic with work & a baby, I always manage to find time to do what I need to do & if I know I can’t meet your expectations, I will definitely let you know! In my home & at yours, I will treat your babies just like I treat mine. I am willing to pick up after them, care for them, play with them, etc. as needed whether that be being a little more active by going to the park or just enjoying cuddles on the sofa.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, they were like my best friends. Taking care of animals is also a form of therapy, they can sense the good and bad and that’s what makes me love them more :) I’m a college student who is just looking for side hustle to pay my tuition and bills, I’m basically free all day everyday just looking to make some money on the side :) It’s just me and a 5 acre lot, no wild animals and it’s fenced in so your animals will always be safe and within eye distance. They are more then welcome to roam the house and land and make themselves at home :)

“Took EXCELLENT care of my tiny kittens ?”

Allie P.

“Riley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Lucy! She knew I looked forward to pictures while I was away, and not only did she send photos, but gave updates promptly. I will definitely make sure to book with Riley in the future.”
