House Sitting In Rattlesnake

About: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I also helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 3 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 3 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. For those looking for a HOUSE SITTER, I can work from your house during the day to give your pups all the attention them need. I’m unavailable to stay overnight but will ensure your animals are taken for a late night walk/potty break before bedtime, and we will return first thing in the morning. I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.

About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.

“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”

“Zachariah did an amazing job with our high energy large breed dogs! Confident, cool, and collected he took great care of our fur babies. Will be booking again!”

About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.

“Jennifer was awesome! I had a last minute stay because a friend bailed on me. She came in was dependable and reliable and kept me up to date.”

About: Growing up surrounded by 3 dogs and various small animals, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for caring for our furry friends. From grooming, to walks, feeding, and providing love, animal care has always felt second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and my own dog’s unique needs—extreme separation anxiety—have deepened my understanding and compassion for pets with special requirements. In addition to my dog care experience, I’ve also cared for a variety of small animals, including fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and even ducks! I believe every animal deserves love and attention, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Professionally, I work as an Executive Assistant, where I manage schedules, coordinate logistics, and handle high levels of responsibility and organization every day. That same reliability, attention to detail, and communication carries over into the care I provide for pets and their owners. I understand how important trust and consistency are when leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. My commitment to animal welfare extends beyond pet care. I’ve actively volunteered at shelters and organized food drives to support animals in need. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy but also passionate about providing the best care for your beloved pets, I’m here to help. I work in St. Pete about 3-4 times a week in office and work from home in Tampa the other days. My schedule is flexible. For the weekends I have no set commitments making me extremely flexible. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pets and your home. I always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed carefully, and your space is kept clean, safe, and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Joanna was amazing caring for our pups and home while we were away for a week. She was incredibly meticulous with her level of care, especially with our temperamental senior pup and overzealous younger pup that tries to be the alpha. Joanna was great with communication and we would love to hire her again and again. 10 out of 10 stars!”

“I was so nervous to leave my dogs with a stranger for the first time but Patricia was everything I could have asked for. She was very professional and even came over to meet the dogs before hand. She sent me pictures everyday of my pets which made me feel so much better. I would definitely use her again!”

“Evanette was fantastic, she gave us frequent updates on Elf, and our house looked better than we left. My wife asked her to move in!”

About: Hi! I’m new to Rover, but I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication support, or just extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to help. I can also provide references upon request. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority! I have a flexible job and I’m off usually on weekends. I get an hr lunch in my job so I won’t mind to walk the dog if is necessary during my lunch break. As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for like family. I understand how important trust is when leaving your furry companions in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritize reliability, patience, and attentive supervision at all times. From daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and extra cuddles, I create a calm and secure atmosphere tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a trustworthy, caring, and positive environment.

“Allexus was fantastic. She took great care of our pups and sent updates and pics. Our pups and home were well cared for. I highly recommend her.”

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

“Would definitely recommend Jolie for pet care! Felt really comfortable with Jolie watching my dog and letting her into my home. My dog really enjoyed his time with Jolie as well.”

Tim K.

“I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.”

“This was Rachel’s second time watching Max and we were just as pleased as the first time. She is super attentive to his needs and routine and sends us plenty of pictures to keep us updated on how he’s doing. Not to mention Max LOVES Rachel and was super excited to see her again.”

About: I’ve had five dogs during my life. I grew up taking care of 2 of them, grooming, walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also dog sat numerous friends’ and neighbors’ dogs both as overnights and drop ins. Currently I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and social, they would be very happy to have a new friend to play with! I work 15 minutes from home Monday-Thursday. On Friday I work from home so I would be with your pet all day Friday-Sunday. On days when I am in the office, I can quickly come home to walk and potty the pet if needed. I have 2 dogs that are very social and friendly to keep your pet company. I also have 2 dog crates should your pet be more comfortable in a crated environment while away.

“Highly recommend! We had a unique request that she was very open minded to. We had a big party and wanted someone to attend to the dogs with us around. Elena is so sweet and incredibly flexible, even moving them around to quieter space so they stayed calm and out of the way during the arrival of guests. She was nice, very reliable, and got the job done perfectly. I look forward to her sitting for us again.”

“I booked Michele for an extended house & dog sitting service. Both my home and pup were in perfect condition when I got home :) she sent me multiple photos a day (probably bc she knew I was nervous!) and was very communicative. I’ll be booking Michele for all my future needs for my dog!”
