Elizabeth was fantastic! She sent pics and updates throughout the day while we were out! Our boy, Mav, was wiped out when we got home! He is about 3 1/2 yr old spoiled rotten Sheepadoodle! We would HIGHLY recommend her for your fur baby! She is kind and very patient - Mav took to her immediately!

Shawnee was absolutely wonderful!!!!! We cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our two babies while we were away. She left our house super clean and printed out some photos of the babies along with a very sweet Thank You card. We HIGHLY recommend Shawnee!!! We will be using her in the future!

Kristina took great care of my boy and gave me regular updates while I was away! I loved having her stay at my place so he had all the comforts of home and someone with him in the house the majority of the time I was gone! Will definitely rebook the next time I need a sitter!

About: My entire life I've grown up around cats and dogs, always having at least one. I get along better with dogs than cats, but I love both equally. My pets have loved me, and even animals I first meet tend to like me right away. I'm also used to house sitting and pet sitting for my parents. I'm currently between jobs so I have nothing but time. My current house is yet to be pet friendly, so unfortunately I can't board, but I'm willing to travel to pet sit or just feed and walk the animals. I will follow whatever routine the animals have set to the letter, and whatever instructions I'm left. The animals' needs are always my top priority.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 and have been pet and house sitting for the last 10 years. I love taking energetic pups on long walks or playing fetch in a secure yard, and I’m equally comfortable creating cozy spaces for senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own (one large, one medium), and I’m experienced with administering medications—even to picky ones who need a creative touch. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters off and on since 2020 and have worked with reactive and anxious dogs who may require extra time to warm up to strangers. I love spending time with both dogs and cats, and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a full‑time freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day between 8 AM and 11 PM, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit. My open schedule also allows me to accommodate last‑minute bookings, so you can count on me even when plans change unexpectedly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the routines your cats and dogs already know so they feel secure and comfortable. I follow your feeding, walking, play, and litter box instructions, keep their spaces clean, and make sure your home stays tidy and secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether that’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or anything in between—and I work to make every visit calm, safe, and stress‑free.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely caring they are. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away—which says everything. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup and a tidy space, and it was obvious our dog had been treated like family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Just moved to the area and was fortunate to find Zoe to house sit for us during a short trip. Professional, sweet, kind and a great communicator. She left our home clean and our pets well cared for. We hope to have Zoe sit for us in the future.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I have had two family dogs with years of experience providing care for them. I recently completed the Veterinary Assistant program at Southern Technical College in Auburndale, Florida and have obtained my Veterinary Assistant certification through the Florida Veterinary Medical Association. As part of the Veterinary Assistant program, I completed 3 internships. Two of these were at Veterinary Hospitals and one was at an animal boarding and daycare facility. I am also a volunteer at the Humane Center in Winter Haven, Florida. I will provide excellent care for your pet and I am sure your pet and I will be great friends. I'm currently a volunteer at the Humane Society in Winter Haven, Florida. I can easily adjust my time there to provide pet care throughout the week. I have years of experience of leash walking dogs for both my personal pets and various times when I have been a pet sitter. From my experience of taking care of my pets I keep them on a schedule for feeding and bathroom timers. With my veterinary assistant training, I have knowledge and experience of providing medications to pets. I also find it is very important to provide attention and love for pets at all times.

Brianna is amazing, friendly and super sweet. My cat is a bit aggressive and unfriendly but she handled him so nicely. I was amazed to see my cat was actually very friendly and comfortable with her. He doesnt let strangers pet him but he let Brianna pet him. Shes definitely a professional the way she took care of my very picky cat. Thankyou Brianna for your services and looking forward to hire you again =)

About: Since I was little I have always been around dogs. I have had experience with pet sitting since I was 12 including taking care of a senior dog that required medication as needed. I love dogs of any breed and size I have 6 years experience with Cats. The cat in my picture is my sisters cat and i’m currently his caretaker while she has moved to NYC until she finds a place accepting of cats. He is disabled and has issues using the restroom, I help him daily and make sure his needs are taken care of. I love and care for him as if he was my own. I just recently moved from Washington state to Davenport, Florida. I currently have a free/full availability schedule until I am able to find a part time job. I still plan on using Rover even if I have a job and will update my schedule when that time comes. My dog (Boomer) is walked on a leash at all times, we currently don’t have a backyard but he goes on frequent walks throughout the day to make sure his needs are met.

Madison was great with our 3 boys right from the beginning! We have a very anxious dog and she did so well with keeping him calm and giving him his medicine to keep him relaxed while neighbors were setting off fireworks. She took great care of our house and I look forward to having her stay with our boys in the future!
