Carolina took extra special care of our two cats, both of whom were so comfortable and happy with her. She was very attentive and communicative, sending multiple updates and photos. This was our first experience using Rover, and Carolina made the whole process extremely easy. We would highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely have her look after our fur babies in the future.

Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.

Kim was perfect taking care of my two cats for a week. I trust her completely and will ask for her services the next time I go away. When I got home I expected my cats to be waiting for me at the door like they usually do when they hear me, but they were so relaxed I had to go find them and wake them up to say hello. She sent me photos or video of them every day which was great. They like Kim a lot too!!!

Stephany takes very good care of my cats and they have warmed up to her beautifully, even my skittish siamese, Cava! She leaves detailed updates and takes really great pics of my girls enjoying her visits.

About: Hi, I’m Nick. I provide structured, dependable pet care built around routine, supervision, and clear communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from working dogs like Brittanys and English Labs to rare breeds like the Swedish Vallhound, as well as rescued strays and foster animals. I adjust care based on temperament, energy level, and age, ensuring each pet feels secure and engaged. This range of experience has taught me how to read behavior, manage different energy levels, and maintain a stable environment for dogs that thrive on structure as well as those who simply need consistency and patience. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands. Oh and lots of pictures :) Because I work from home, your pet is rarely left alone. I provide a stable, structured environment with consistent supervision throughout the day, ideal for dogs that thrive on routine and attentive care. Safety and structure come first in my home. I double check gates and entry points before every walk, use secure leashing practices, and maintain a controlled environment to prevent overstimulation. Whether caring for a senior cat or a high-energy retriever, I tailor each pet’s routine to match their age, temperament, and energy level to keep them safe, balanced, and comfortable.

Briana has looked after our cat several times and she has always been reliable. She makes sure all of our cat’s needs are met and communicates about them when necessary. She is a very kind and friendly person who I’ve had the privilege of having as a cat sitter. Your pets will be in good hands with Briana.

Our Coco thoroughly enjoyed her vacation with Stephanie, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Her home was lovely and perfect for our cat. Stephanie kept us updated daily on Coco and how she was adjusting and also sent daily pictures. We felt very confident in leaving our "baby" with Stephanie. Coco requires extra feedings and medications and Stephanie was happy to accommodate us with those extra needs. If you're looking for someone dependable and caring Stephanie is your person!

This has been a wonderful experience for both Mishu and I. Lisa and her daughter Aeryin could not have been more attentive to all of my cat’s needs. I was sent daily updates with pictures, which I loved. Mishu got to try new activities and even bonded with the other animals at Lisa’s house. My cat came home looking calm and happy! I’m so pleased with this experience and we would definitely love to repeat it. I recommend Lisa and Matthew as excellent and responsible pet sitters.

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

About: I bring skills and support beyond the basics. reliable, versatile, and here to make your life easier. Big communicator. Experienced, patient, tolerant and genuinely care. I am currently looking to do this full-time. I am someone who loves helping others in lots of ways. From pet sitting to bartending private events and babysitting or helping around the house, I bring reliability and get it done. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I find myself doing it often by just being asked ! In my home it is very peaceful and quiet but I am here enough to take on frequent walks and love to visit parks in the East Hill area or along the Bayfront. I will ask what your preferences are as far as how often we communicate or if you would like frequent updates and photos/videos.

I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!
