“Erin did an amazing job with my fur babies. Would absolutely book her again! My house was clean and she washed bedding! She also did a lot of shoveling snow while we were away! So appreciative of all she did!”
“Liseli did an amazing job taking care of my dog and 2 cats when I went away for the weekend. We even had a minor medical emergency with my dog that she immediately called me about and got him the medical care he needed and stayed in close communication with me through the process. All my animals seemed relaxed and content when I got back. I can tell she made them all feel safe and loved, which I so so appreciate. I highly recommend her and definitely hope to hire her again in the future.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Mara provided for our dogs, Miles and Rex, while we were away for a week. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in good hands. She kept us updated with photos and it was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being. Both dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home—and the house was spotless! Mara went above and beyond, and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”
“My dogs absolutely LOVED Jason! He definitely gets and understands how to connect with animals, and also knows the needs of a fur-mom when away; needing to know that they’re safe and content. He was communicative and always let me know how they were doing and what was going on. I’ll be calling on him again for sure!”
“Morgen was fantastic, what a relief to find someone close by to watch our dog and give us peace of mind. We will definitely be looking to Morgen again in the future for any dog/house sitting needs!”
“Melissa was a great house and pet sitter for a long weekend. Excellent communication in advance. Treated both our house and pets with great care. Will definitely use her again for future get-aways.”
About: I grew in a home full of dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs from young pups to older dogs as well. I truly want to help and support pets and people in anyway I can. I am a teacher so I am available on weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I cannot welcome your pet into my home in my current housing situation but I will provide any necessary care to your family including walks, drop in visits, and house sitting.
About: I’ve had dogs in my house for as long as I have been alive and have a great love for dogs and cats alike. I have years of experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work a full time job but have Sunday through Tuesday off every week and have plenty of time to drop in and feed or play with your pet as well as take your pet for a walk. I am un able to take dogs into my home as my current residence does not allow dogs, but I am more than happy to drop in to your home and take care of your pet.
About: Having previously worked at a humane shelter and a doggy daycare, I understand that dogs require a lot of care, love, and patience! I'm pretty good at reading their body language and I love putting in the extra work to get shy or reactive dogs to trust me. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for! My schedule is wide open to housesit, dog walk/enrichment, and check-ins whenever it's needed. Let me know what you and your pet need, and we can schedule something! I will do anything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, entertained, and loved while you are away. You'll return to see the house just as you left it (with absolutely no judgment if it's cleaned or cluttered) and a happy pet!
About: Highlight: I am experienced with aggressive and reactive animals! Note: I am very flexible with pricing. If my rates seem too high, feel free to reach out anyway and I'll be happy to see see what we can work out. 😊 I have had animals in my home and life as long as I can remember. I have cared for countless dogs, cats, and small animals. At one point in my life I had seven dogs and a number of other pets. Animal care and rescue is my greatest passion. I am skilled at handling dogs and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperments. I have worked with aggressive and reactive dogs and have experience deescalating conflicts when they arise. I am more than happy to care for any kind of animals- not just dogs and cats. My own current pets are two dogs and four cats. I also have experience caring for small animals, various poultry and livestock, and horses. When I was 15 years old I started occasionally farm/house sitting for a family with dogs, horses, and a cat, and caring for all of the animals there during my stay. With them I have worked daytime hours as well as overnight stays for a few days at a time so they could take trips out of state. In my adult life I have branched out, first with Rover a few years ago, and then with expanding farther into launching my private pet care business at the beginning of 2024 while still maintaining my presence on Rover. My client base is steadily growing and I am excited to see where this venture takes me! I am reliable and committed to providing excellent service for my clients. If you want a pet caretaker you can count on who will treat your animals as well as their own, I'm your gal! I work part time as a BHP and I try to be as flexible as possible. My schedule changes depending on the time of year. Currently I work with my human client from 7:15 am - 8:15am and 2:30pm - 5:30pm on weekdays and am off on weekends. I take care of animal clients all days of the week. Please message me and I'll do my best to work something out. I take utmost care to keep animals in my care safe and properly contained. I make sure to follow whatever rules and structures are in place for the animals to ensure their safety. Pets are always leashed inside before heading for a walk and the leash isn't unclipped until we are back inside with a closed door. I am vigilant in looking out for potential risks (e.g. other animals, cars, bad things they could eat, etc) and making sure to give them a wide berth. In my own home I have any small animals carefully segregated into rooms that predator animals don't go into. Anytime I leave the room, I do a check and verify that all predators are outside the door so nobody can get hurt. I monitor the dog around the cats to make sure all interactions are safe. I have utlized crates and baby gates when necessary to keep animals safely contained and/or separated in the past. I am skilled at containing flight risk animals and watching out for their safety.
About: I'm a genuine dog lover! I've always trained my dogs on basic tricks and commands.I'm aware that dogs have their own personalities, fears, and strengths. I work part-time. I have a flexible schedule. I'm open to having dogs in my house throughout the week and some weekends, if needed, and also just walks. I don't have a fenced yard. However, I will be with them out in my yard to assure a safe environment. I'll take them hiking or for walks around my area. They are welcome inside my house to sleep and rest.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs almost all of my life, I have experience with puppies and old dogs. I have a large private property with a long dirt road for long walks, and a fenced in front yard . Dogs really love it here. I am a retired school teacher with lots of energy and time to spend with your furry family member. There is plenty of love and fun times to be shared here, I have 23 acres for long walks, a fenced in front yard and a lake to swim and chase balls. I also have a large deck for drying off before coming inside. Your dog will love it here!
About: I’ve been around animal my whole life, including larger/more difficult to handle dogs. My amazing labrador Lincoln is around 105 lbs and VERY energetic (we call him a wolf), which has greatly helped my experience with larger dogs. I’ve also gone through puppy training and sitting, so I can handle dogs of all different temperaments! I cannot wait to meet your furry best friend!! I’m currently a student at the University of North Florida, seeking a part time job of dog walking. This is along with my other job as a bartender. I don’t offer pet sitting as I am currently living in the dorms at the University of North Florida for the Fall Semester full time.
About: I have cared for both dogs and cats and I will care for yours like it is my own at all times so I hope you choose to hire me I am retired with plenty of free time for your animals and I would love to care for them like they are mine to care for I have a yard and a lovely home and I will always leash your dog when outside for safety and I like to kennel dogs when they sleep at night
