“Sam did a great job, despite Freddie's shyness. She sent me pictures of him (hiding) every day. I have cameras, so could see her coming and going and trying to lure him out to play. I hope to have her sit again next month.”
“It was great for me to find Thomas. I have several cats that require medication and special attention, so it’s difficult for me to find someone I am comfortable leaving in their care. Thomas is that person. He made sure the one cats medications were on time, and even became friends with my one very shy one. Definitely will be contacting him again in the future.”
“Mary is the best. She communicated with us and sent us lots of pictures of our Cat Ray!!! She went above and beyond to help us with plants and clean up, check mail and brought in our trash. She is very professional and sweet. We have peace of mind knowing she was taking the best care of our boy. Thank you Mary you are the best!”
“We have never felt more comfortable leaving our fur babies! Emily sent pictures and gave us updates. We know our cats were spoiled since they practically ignored us when we got home 😍”
“Rachel was fantastic and I came back to my place looking just as good as I left it. She mastered giving my diabetic cat insulin injections and both cats were in good spirits.”
“Rachel is the best! I use her to take care of my two kitties when I’m out of town. One of my cats is very difficult, and he does not like strangers at all, but Rachel seems to have earned his trust! I will continue using her in the future!”
“Brianna went above and beyond to care for and play with my fur babies. She communicated clearly and sent photos. It is such a relief to know your pets are in caring hands!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 7am and up to 8pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.
“Sarah was AAAA-mazing! She went the extra mile for my cat Monkey! Monkey goes in and out as he pleases, but can also get very lonely. She spent time with him cuddling and offering lots of chin scratches. He really liked her and all that special attention. Thank you so much!”
“Kaylee was very sweet and gave my kitty lots of love during her visit. She did everything she needed to do and I highly recommend booking her if you are in need of a pet sitter.”
“First time booking with Lucy and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was very attentive and super responsive on the booking and instructions afterwords. Super communicative daily as I was gone over a week. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their pet.”
About: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a 30-year-old lawyer who works from home and has a deep passion for caring for animals. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and have fostered several dogs over the years, giving me plenty of experience with different breeds and temperaments. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I offer overnight sitting, daily walks, and plenty of love and attention for your pets while you’re away. I’ve also cared for cats, including newborn kittens that needed nursing, so I’m comfortable providing specialized care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s daily walks or extended overnight stays, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work from home on MWF so I am very flexible with dog walking availability! As far as overnight stays in my home, I do not have any day limitations. If dogs are crate trained, I will leave them in the crate if I am leaving the house just to make sure they feel safe. I have a closed in backyard. For new dogs, I will keep them on the leash the first time they are down there just to gauge their temperament.
“Brittany was amazing!! She took amazing care of my fur babies the entire time, my flight home got delayed and she still got up and took care of them. I wouldn’t trust anybody with my. babies more than her!!!”
“Amanda did a great job cat sitting for our 2 cats. Taking care of feedings, litter box, and spending time interacting with them. She sent us a rover card and pics each day to keep us updated as well. Thanks Amanda!!”
“Miles was so sweet - watched my kitty over christmas holiday and took the time to make a little christmas card of her to send to me :,) would 100% book with Miles & Charlotte again!!”
“Michelle took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages regarding our kitties feeding, etc. The whole experience was wonderful, and would highly recommend and schedule her again for pet sitting services.?”
About: I grew up in the country with no human siblings; but the cats and dogs I grew up with became my siblings! They were always true members of the family. After many years in the corporate world, I went to work in, and eventually owned, a pet daycare, boarding, grooming and retail business. I never considered it a job as it was my passion. Since then, I moved to St. Pete seven years ago and now I have more free time to help others with their fur babies one-on-one. I'm dependable, trustworthy and will treat your baby as if it were my own. Their paws are in good hands with me! I was fortunate to retire early so I have a very flexible schedule and so this again is a passion for me, not just a job. Walks, drop ins, litter box duty, meals and medications, I'm comfortable with it all. I'm here to provide as much care, love, enjoyment for your pet as they want/need. I am respectful of your/their space and will treat them as I would expect you to treat my fur babies if you were coming into my home.
“Sarah was wonderful with muffin, our ragdoll cat. She took really good care of him, provided updates and photos every day while we were away for an extended period of time and also helped with watering plants and keeping the place tidy. Would definitely book her again.”

First time booking with Lucy and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was very attentive and super responsive on the booking and instructions afterwords. Super communicative daily as I was gone over a week. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their pet.
I was very pleased with Fern. She checked in on my cat Marilyn a couple of times while I was away and did a great job. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly attentive to Marilyn’s needs. It made being away much less stressful knowing she was there.
Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of my guinea pigs! She always communicated quickly and sent adorable photos of my girls. It was great peace of mind to know that my piggies were being looked after while I was away for work. Thanks Hannah! Booking my next stay now!
Molly was great! Very careful to make sure our pets got their meds and even noticed a scratch by our dog’s eye, which she offered to put vaseline on. Very flexible, especially with a last minute booking. Loved the detailed updates and photos! Would definitely book with again!
Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!
Sarah was wonderful with muffin, our ragdoll cat. She took really good care of him, provided updates and photos every day while we were away for an extended period of time and also helped with watering plants and keeping the place tidy. Would definitely book her again.
Elise is an amazing, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter! Truly 10/10! She kept me updated and sent lots of photos throughout our trip. I was very nervous about leaving our two cats alone for the first time, especially our girl cat who is skittish about meeting new people. Elise was patient with her and even bought over toys to play with the cats. After a few days, they were practically best friends with her and her stepdaughter. I love that our cats love her and she will be our go-to pet sitter when we’re away.
