“Rachel is so thoughtful and caring, my cats love her! I’m lucky to have found someone I feel completely comfortable with taking care of my cats, she’s the best cat sitter I’ve experienced and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of them!”

About: Owned and taken care of animals since I was little. Cats, dogs, other mammals/reptiles. Great with dogs no matter the energy or temperament, I can get them to feel comfortable. Besides caring for my son after school and summer camps, I have free time most of the day to do any checks or walks as long as it's not overnight/late night. I can care for them with provided toys/food/area or I am capable of taking them on walks if they need time out farther from the house. I know older dogs may not want to play fetch but still need to walk around the block a bit. Also cleaning if the owner has the area and supplies is no issue, I love giving dogs a bath.

About: Hey I’m Camila! One that set apart from other siters is that I grew up on farm rising animals so taking care of animals have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Being around different types of animals made me comfortable with all types of pet personalities and temperatures. After moving to Florida I started volunteering at the humane society where I got in depth training on cats and dogs behavior and how to properly handle and care for them. Well right in college so I don’t have a set schedule or a job so I’m basically home all day except for Wednesdays and Thursdays that because I have class in the afternoon. I care for any animals as if they were my own by making sure there happy, comfortable and loved. I followed all instructions to a T because I understand the importance of why the instructions are there in the first place and how important routines are to pets!

About: Hello! My name is Avalon ! Since I can remember Ive owned cats and dogs. My current animals ranging from a 13 year old senior, to a fresh 1 year old frenchie ! Im aware and very cautious with allergies as mine have many . I’ve always loved all animals like they were my own, enjoying every moment of cuddles and play. Im currently part time and new to the Florida area which leaves me with extra time to care for not only my own pets but yours as well ! With a dog friendly car, trips for a walk in the park for new scenery won’t be an issue or local walks around the neighborhood. As I meet new fur friends and family’s I like to do a walking check in all yards to ensure the safety of the pets as they go out to explore . You never know what could come up or what could be found better safe than sorry! Keeping a close eye is my specialty as I treat all animals as my own. I follow careful instructions as you know your pet best !

I currently work at a dog park and dog daycare, where I supervise group play, handle different temperaments, and ensure a safe, structured environment. I’ve cared for everything from extra large breeds to small dogs, including puppies and seniors. I also have experience with rehomed dogs and understand they may need extra patience and consistency.

Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet sitting, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays when needed.

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including my own as well as dogs for friends, family, and clients.

“Megan is a kind considerate care giver. Highly articulate and professional. She was able to become quick friends with our very shy cat and truth be told our cat was probably a bit sad when we returned and Megan didn’t visit. I highly recommend and trust Megan.”


“From the very first message, Lauren made the whole experience feel easy and stress free. She was quick to respond, patient with all my questions, and totally flexible with pickup and drop off to fit my schedule. While I was away she sent regular texts and photos, which honestly gave me so much peace of mind. You can just tell she genuinely loves animals, it comes through in everything. Jumbie took to her almost immediately, which says it all. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Our cat Thora loved and really bonded with Jane! Jane sent me pictures and updates that were very sweet and reassuring because she knew we were far away and a bit stressed about leaving her. She was very respectful of our home and left things neat and tidy. We’d definitely hire her again to stay with our furbaby 😊”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rio
Macy is such an amazing sitter. She has cared for my 2 bunnies and kitty a couple times now. She is attentive, caring, and always gives me detailed updates. She has left me handwritten notes with personalized pictures of my babies for when I return. She spends her time loving on them when I am gone and I know I am leaving them in great hands. Thank you Macy, you are great!

Jessica did great her first time with my cat and bunny. Her communication is impeccable and she gave them their full half hour. I couldn’t even tell I’d been gone when I got home— no messes to clean and the boys were content. I will be booking Jessica in the future for sure! 😻

This was the second time having Monica watch my two cats while we went on vacation and she always exceeds expectations. I got a ton of pictures of my babies daily, lots of communication and generally made my vacation better because I didn’t for a second have to worry that my cats were okay. She deserves every single 5 star review she has.
