“Karen did an amazing job at our home with our 3 cats during a 17 day vacation. She came to meet our pets before we left and they were comfortable with her immediately. When we returned home, the house was clean and pets were happy and healthy, and they were brushed (3 long hair cats). One cat needed medicine twice daily which was no problem for Karen. She sent photos or videos every day to let us see how they were doing and they seemed relaxed and playful with her. We enjoyed our time away and weren't concerned about our home or pets because we knew they were in good hands. We feel that Karen is conscientious and trustworthy, and she is a true animal lover. We were lucky to find such a great pet sitter, and will definitely ask her to stay with our pets in the future. :)”

About: I’ve loved animals all of my life, have been around all types of dogs and cats. Post college, I work remotely and find myself having a lot of time and flexibility. Love to take care of others’ pets while I wait to get my own :) I work remotely and tend to be in control of my schedule. I’m able to be home all day, can take at least 3 breaks during the work day and have no other commitments after work. In other’s homes, I am great at following directions and respecting other’s wishes, to the point where I will request written instructions that I can always have on me. There will be no guests and I rarely leave for longer than an hour at a time.

About: Hello, I have been taking cares of animals my whole life. I love them all and have had plenty of experience with many different species. Growing up I had chickens, ducks, rabbits, parakeets, donkeys, finches, horses, ferrets, chinchillas, button quail, a hedgehog, cats and dogs. I currently still have 3 dogs and a horse. I love them all dearly. :) I recently graduated from Tarheel Canine's 6 month program where I learned to train pet dogs and working dogs. I learned to teach them many things from as simple as sitting to advanced as detecting explosives and tracking. I am continuing to work with dogs every day and hope I can also help you take care of your pets. With my current schedule I work most evenings starting at 4pm and ending between 9-10pm. Sundays are usually busier with me working from 11am-9pm. That being said things do change and I always have days off but as a general schedule this is what it looks like. Thank you! I have had experience with all types of dogs from the friendlest pups you'll ever meet to your aggressive K9s. I can accommodate all and follow your instructions while caring for your fur babies. I currently only offer services outside of my home due to restrictions at my current residence.


“Holly & Jace were amazing with our pets and our home! Our pets can be a little challenging at times but no issues whatsoever! We would have them pet/house sit over and over! Thank you again!”


“Thank you Abby for caring for all three: Maddie, Bella, and Scout! They were totally pampered while I was away🩷The communication was great and much appreciated! Really fun short trip and the doggos and kitty enjoyed their week with you! Thanks Abby:)”

That means that I want to provide the exact care that you provide to your pets and follow exact instructions provided to me.

About: Hello! My name is Brittany. I have been on Rover for a few years now. I am “that girl” that will play with the family dog at a party. I have grown up owning dogs my entire life with 20+ years of experience. Currently, I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I am extremely responsible and would be more than willing to an interview prior. Your dog will get lots of exercise and love under my care! I would love to watch your dog(s) and look forward to hearing from you! Also CPR certified I work as a PT during the day. My husband is home all day and lets the dogs out in our fenced in yard multiple times a day. I am usually home by 3/4. I have weekends off. Everything is very safe and my yard is fenced in. They are allowed on the couch and have free roam of the house unless they prefer a crate.

About: I have 10 years of experience as a Vet Tech and currently reside in Venice, FL. Spending my early childhood years learning animal husbandry with my family’s many beloved rescued Rottweilers easily solidified my passion for exceptional pet care! As a trained veterinary technician, animals have always been part of my routine, between morning walks, feedings, medication schedules, or simply spending quality time. I find comfort and purpose in caring for animals, and I plan my days around their needs so they feel calm, loved, and secure. I respect each pet’s unique preferences and routine. I keep a calm, clean environment, offer consistent feeding, hydration, and medication when needed, and ensure they get plenty of affection and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep the pet’s world familiar and stress-free.
