“I highly recommend Kaitlyn! She is very responsible, caring, and took great care of my puppies while I was on a business trip. She communicates well and is punctual for her visits. Excellent dog sitter!!”
“Krystal was friendly and professional. She was patient and understanding with our shy cat. Even though the job was a simple daily drop-in to refill water and scoop the litter box, Krystal was reliable and thorough in her daily reports. I would definitely recommend hiring Krystal!”
“Marla was our first sitter from Rover. She spent the afternoon playing with our puppy and we could not have asked for a better sitter. I know she spent quality time at playing with our pup!! Hope to use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on my own time. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!
“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”
“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”
“Kayla was able to drop in on our dogs while we where away for the weekend. She checked in for the visits on our agreed open times and sent pics while she was there. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I used to be on rover with my mom as dog sitters. We had a lot of happy customers many of whom would book with us multiple times. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits. I may or may not be able to do walks every day of the week depending on what time the dog goes for a walk. When I am taking care of a pet wether it’s someone else’s or my own I do my very best to ensure that animal is get everything they could possibly need to be happy and thriving.

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was a little girl. Over the years, I've developed strong bonds with the pets I've looked after. My experience includes working at animal shelters, doggy daycares, and farms, allowing me to interact with a wide range of personalities, ages, and breeds. Currently, I have two rescue kittens (7 months and 3 months old), and I look forward to spending time with your furry friend(s)! I work part time currently at a Dog Daycare and Boarding Facility, but I have a lot of free time and days off to spend time with your pets when you’re at work or out of town:) I live in an apartment so I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I would be willing to House Sit, and I have a reliable source of transportation.
About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. I've fostered dogs for years, which is how I found Dolores, who has been part of my family for 4 years now. I've been looking for another job to make some additional money, and I want to do something that I would truly enjoy, so I decided to give this a try. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. I hope to hear from you soon! As of right now, I'm working part-time (one to two nights a week) while I study for my real estate exam, so my schedule is pretty flexible, especially during the day. I am extremely vigilant about keeping dogs leashed and safe in open spaces. I have fostered many types of dogs, including those that are dog reactive, so I am aware of the importance of keeping your dogs safe, as well as any other dogs in the vicinity.

Beth C.
“When I moved to Key West last year I had no idea who I was going to trust with my Italian Greyhound, Flash. He can be a little needy at times and this is why I don’t board him. The time came when I had to fly to Texas for a week and was introduced to Beth. She seemed perfect so I took Flash over to meet her and he seemed right at home. Beth is very trustworthy and Flash adores her! He gets so excited when we drive up to her home. Since then Flash has stayed with Beth several times and I never worry about his well being while he’s in Beth’s care. He comes home relaxed and happy and I would never think of taking him anywhere else!”
