“Angelina is by far the best sitter we have found on Rover. She stayed in contact with us throughout the day, sending pictures and updates on the dogs. The dogs loved her immediately which eased our worries about leaving them.”
“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”
“What a great job keeping our dogs and cats happy and healthy. And watching our house. Communication was superb and timely. We will definitely book again when needed!”
“Sydney is great! My almost 16 year old, medically complex, dog was in good hands with her. Sydney was able to provide wound care and medication management for Zoey and took great care of our home. We will definitely be booking Sydney again.”
“Amy was great! We were only gone one night but she provided a text message update with photo and left a detailed note about her visit. Felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her.”
“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”
“Ayala was amazing with our dog and left our house exactly like we left it!! She was very attentive to our dog and made her feel relaxed and safe in our house! She also went above and beyond helping us out with watering our yard and plants! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”
“Karen is phenomenal! She took such great care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. She provided us with fantastic communication, very trustworthy, kind and fantastic with pets! We highly recommended Karen 😁”
About: Lots of availability and flexible! I have been pet sitting animals of all ages, sizes, species, and breeds for 20 years. I grew up in an animal loving family and currently have 3 cats and a dog of my own. I can handle small dogs and huge dogs, and know how to care for skittish, overactive, and reactive pets. I will treat you babies like my own. I am experienced in giving medicine, wound care, nail cutting, light grooming, and training/reinforcement for dogs and cats. I have grooming supplies on hand and my animals are great with others if socialization is an important part of your pet’s care. I have rescued and fostered numerous animals over the years who I have found forever homes for, and I have a great relationship with local vets. Experience watching cats, dogs (no weight max, I am very comfortable with large dogs), geckos, bearded dragons, ball pythons, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, turtles, hermit crabs, and open to any others! Currently a graduate student at USF so I have a lot of flexible availability during the week that’d I’d love to carve out for your fur baby! I’m a graduate student with a very predictable schedule so I’ll be able to carve out regular and predictable time for your pets which is essential for building a good relationship. I’m able to visit your pet multiple times a day, and I spend an ample amount of time on enrichment (mental and physical) as well as just regular feedings. I live in a house in a very walkable area of town near a lot of parks, and a short driving distance from a couple dog parks. I have a fenced in yard that I can bring your dog to have play dates with my dog if that’s something your dog would enjoy. I have three dog-friendly and cat-friendly cats in my home as well. I play with my animals at least 20 minutes three times a day and try to play with client’s pets for 20min every time I visit as well!
“Did a really great job, my younger dog tends to be nervous with new people but she warmed up to her so fast. She sent me pictures showing the dogs were doing well, really great communication. I so appreciate her taking my last minute booking”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, since I was very young. I grew up with two poodles and two cats, each with their own needs regarding feeding, walking, bathing, and general care! I've also house sat for my neighbors and family friends for two weeks at a time, watching and caring for their pets, and enjoying every minute of it! I'm home for the summer from college, so my schedule is almost entirely open! While I'm not available for boarding, I can do anything form housesitting to drop-ins throughout the whole day, depending on you and your pet's needs. I love spending time playing with dogs inside and outside, and always make sure to keep a close watch on them when taking them for walks or running around in the backyard. I have a lot of experience with keeping anxious pets calm and safe while going outside, as well as with giving pets their medication if they need it!
“Sara was great! We had a last minute change with the original sitter, and she was very quick to respond and agree to help us! If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have been able to travel. Sara did a great job taking care of my dogs. I received constant updates. The dogs were in great shape when we returned. I will definitely recommend Sara and hire her services when we have to travel again! Thank you, Sara!!”

Sahily watched our Cavalier King Charles rescue this weekend while we were out of town. Riley is new to our family after being rescued in July 2025. I was very nervous about leaving my sweet Velcro dog because he’s very apprehensive when I leave him. I knew it was essential to do this eventually, but I must admit I almost canceled my weekend plans. Sahily provided comfort, tenderness, and reassurance to Riley . She communicated to us regularly with photos and videos of my sweet pup, quickly alleviating my anxiety and apprehension about leaving him. She ensured he was active, fed him on schedule, and gave him with lots of love which helped reduce Riley‘s separation, anxiety. I will undoubtedly let Sahily take care of Riley again. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Sahily to watch your precious dog or other animals. She is the best!
Ayala took great care of our pups and home while we were away. Zoey has complex medical needs (almost 16 yrs old!) with wound care, medication administration, and wears a neck cone. Ayala took excellent care of her and her needs. Would definitely book her again!
Jayden was awesome! She watched our two sister pups for two weeks and did not miss a thing. Walked and fed them on time, every time. She left the house better than she found it and the girls were happy to see us but we could tell they were not stressed but happy. Great job!
Shea was so wonderful with our energetic pups! They immediately loved her during our initial meet-and-greet and we could tell they were happy and well cared for during our time away. Shea was communicative, sent pictures, gave the girls plenty of outside time, and even went above and beyond to fix an issue with our house while we were out of town. We will absolutely reach out to Shea in the future and highly recommend her!
Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!
Sydney came and stayed with our anxious Italian Greyhound at our Airbnb house so we could attend an evening event. Stan immediately took to her! She sent reassuring photo updates while we were gone, which are always welcome. Sydney is very professional and has a way with animals, and seems like a genuinely nice person too — highly recommend!
Calix is the best! There’s absolutely no one else I’d trust with my cat. He’s incredibly flexible, follows every instruction, and is truly trustworthy. He consistently goes above and beyond, which is why he’s by far the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. Thank you, Calix!
