“Tiffany was amazing!! She went above and beyond while caring for my dog. She stayed longer than needed and even came early due to weather concerns. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter/walker!”

About: I have watched dogs, cats, and reptiles. I can administer medication if need be and/or put diapers on the animal if told they have to wear them. I work from my home so I can be with them most of the time, I just will need to be able to go back and forth during the weekday for work. I can keep up with their routine whether it’s with their potty breaks or meals and medications(if they have any). If you have a fenced in yard I will let them roam out there, unless specifically told different. If walks are needed for overnight stays, I am more than happy to walk them instead of let out in the yard, just let me know😊 I do not watch animals in my home, but in the pets home only. I do make sure they will not get out of the fence or door in your home.
“Angela was very communicative while checking on my cat and even went so far as to bring in packages when my mail hold didn't take! Lovely sitter and I'll definitely be using her again.”

“Kiersten gives the absolute best care to our pups and loves them like her own. We get thorough reports with each visit and she notifies us immediately of any concerns. We never worry when we’re away. Thanks again Kiersten! Lyla, Beau and the rest of us love you!! 🐾”

“We truly enjoyed Denise and her passion for taking care of our two ginger cats. Everything was taken care of. Her Rover report photos captured their personalities which let us know she was spending quality time with our cats. We highly recommend Denise.”

“Breana does an excellent job caring for my two cats. She is very easy going and can handle going with the flow when I book her at the last minute. I would recommend Breanna to anyone looking for a reliable, professional sitter!”


“Lisa was great! I could tell the kitties loved her because they were calm and relaxed when we returned. This was our first time working with Lisa but I will be reaching out to her again for sure.”

About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve volunteered at the humane society to walk big dogs and help get them adopted. My last dog was a bull terrier who lived to be 16 and he was my first baby. Bull terriers and Great Danes are a unique breed but so much fun and it brings me so much joy to be around animals and help them in anyway I’m a stay at home mom and a retired Marine veteran. I have nothing but time during the week to help out and possibly weekends depending on the date and time. I can crate them if need be, walk, play, feed, bathe and watch over your pet drop off at doggy day care or play at the dog park if they’re up for it! I’m experienced in large strong breeds as well as tiny little guys!
“Best dog sitter we have ever used so professional sweet caring and will take care of your dogs like her own ! She has so much knowledge and attention to detail will definitely use her again”

About: I am a fur mom to 7 dogs, 1 cat and fish. I have had animals in my life since I was a teenager. I had a dog sitting business years ago and loved it. I have senior dogs now and have even rescued senior dogs and they lived with me until the end. I have fostered for rescues and even been a foster failure and adopted. I currently work full-time but still can stay at your home to watch your babies. I love dogs, cats and fish. I have had animals since I was a teenager and had a pet sitting business in Alabama before I moved to FL. At one point I had over 20 dogs in my home lol. Now I prefer to stay at my clients home but can still keep your baby at mine if you need. I promise to give your baby the love and attention he/she needs and deserves because they are babies with fur coats and should be treated like it. I will do whatever needed in my clients home, check on your pets at your home or your pets can stay at my home. I have my own pack myself.

“Tonya came over the day prior to us choosing someone for Rover drop in visits and we knew as soon as her and her husband came over they would be the perfect match to care for our 2 puppies. She is tentative and listens to the needs and wants of the puppies and the owners. She was punctual on back to back days checking in at my house and sent plenty of pictures and videos of the pups while I was at work. We will continue to use her when we are in the need for drop in visits. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Anne is amazing! She was very communicative, reliable, friendly and trustworthy! Not everybody can handle our six furry ones but she mastered it like a pro! Will be using her from now on any time we need to travel ?”


“Lauren is a great sitter! She did everything she was asked to and then some. My pets felt very comfortable with her and were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi! I'm Lydia. I'm a former zookeeper and animal trainer living in Panama City, FL. I have always loved animals and I've had pets my whole life. I currently have a cat and a parrot. I've cared for lots of different types of animals, from fur to feathers and beyond, so if you have other pets that need care while you're away, I'm your girl! I'm also comfortable caring for dogs that need medication or have special needs, blind, deaf, etc. I’m not able to provide boarding but I'm happy to stay with your pet in your home. I promise I will take great care of your fur babies while you're away. Lots of love is guaranteed! I’m currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible. If and when that changes, my updated availability will be reflected in the app. Thank you for understanding. Establishing trust between myself, the dog, and the owner is critical, which is why I require a meet and greet before accepting any new clients. It’s important for me to understand your dog’s routine and environment so I can provide quality, consistent care to them while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
