“Isaiah was a great sitter to both our dog and cat. He provided plenty of updates and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were being well cared for.”
“Kaley was so good to my Murphy boy! Updated me throughout the day constantly with pictures, I love how I didn’t even have to ask for that. She stayed in my home with Murphy and had everything the way I left it when I got back home. Kaley will be my preferred pet sitter from now on!”

“Mckenzie was very prompt with her replies and communicated with me during her stay. She sent photos and updates on my dog and was so thoughtful and sweet to leave me flowers on the day. I returned on Mother’s Day. I would highly recommend her to Care for anyone’s pet.”

“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”

“Each time DeVona stayed with our Norie she was awesome! I loved ❤️ receiving pictures of our baby girl on her daily walks and at nap time. DeVona also went that extra mile by doing extra misc. things around our house and keeping it the way we left it. I would highly recommend DeVona to all my friends and family. Thanks DeVona!!”


“Kaitlyn was wonderful for Pepper and took great care of her while we were away. She was very communicative and sent lots of great pics of our pets. We’ll definitely book with her again when we’re traveling.”

“Jessica was SO amazing! She really took the time and care to learn the needs of our animals and went above and beyond in the services she provided. She took the time to get to know our pets and they loved her! Will definitely book with her again!”

“This is the second time that Nick has taken wonderful care of my kitty, Ivy and I have him booked for two more times in the coming months. Nick is an excellent pet sitter. He communicates frequently, makes sure that Ivy gets cuddles and treats and looks after my home. I highly recommend Nick for overnight pet sitting!!”

“This was my first time using Rover for my 4 dogs and Colleen was amazing! She had great communication through the entire stay and I felt like my dogs were in great hands. I was not worried for a minute while they were in her care. I will definitely be rebooking Colleen in the future.”


About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“If I could leave 6 stars for Ian, I would. We did a meet and greet and what stood out to me was how attentive he was and how he took notes on both Maui and my homes care. While away, Ian kept me updated on how Maui was doing and ensured he was happy. I truly appreciate how much Ian respected my home and left it tidy and clean.”

“We are so lucky to have found Dalia. We were really worried about leaving Zeppi for a whole week at his age but Dalia took such good care of him. She sent us photos and updates every day which kept us at ease on our trip. We would highly recommend Dalia!”

“Elizabeth is THE BEST hands down. Buddha (fur baby) does not eat when we leave unless she is sitting him & that speaks volumes! 100/10 We can’t wait to use Elizabeth again !!”

About: I am drawn to dogs. I currently have a 4.5 year old Pomski (62 lbs). I am experienced in giving medicine, bathing, and just keeping your babies company. In the past I have been trusted with taking all necessary and providing fun outings for peoples dogs. Also, I have owned dogs the majority of my adult life so I know what it takes. My schedule is currently open to take care of your beloved pet. Count on me to be able to dedicate my time to your pets well-being and comfort I am attentive and loving. My main focus is to make sure your pets needs and wants are attended to the fullest. I never leave food around and am always reachable.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for almost 7 years and have 8 years of overall experience caring for pets. I’ve babysat my neighbors’ dogs many times, and they trust me to give their pets lots of love, attention, and care while they’re away. I always send picture updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are happy and safe. I also have a friendly dog of my own who gets along well with other dogs, and with permission, I can bring my dog to interact and play with them to help keep them active and social. I’ve been an animal lover since I was in 3rd grade, and some people even call me a “dog whisperer” because animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I truly believe dogs are one of the most loyal and loving companions a person can have, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have friendly dogs for social interaction if wanted, can crate dogs if needed, and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.
About: Throughout my life, I have cared for and loved so many dogs, birds, cats, and small creatures. I am an animal lover and have raised my children around all kinds of animals, which they now have a love for. I have taken in so many animals that have been rescued, abandoned, or just owner surrender. I now volunteer with a local rescue that transports all over the state of Fl. I have worked in the Veterinary field for few years and know how to care for your family. I also have 4 dogs and 2 cats myself and they are spoiled family members. I look forward in helping you with your fur baby's needs. I am currently just walking, sitting, and caring for any pet that needs my help and I love doing this!! Right it's just part time but I hope to make it full time job. For now, I will only be able to care for animals in their own homes and environments and follow the request of care by the owner
“Kaia was absolutely fabulous. She treated our fur baby as if he was hers. She sent us tons of videos and pictures. Communication was wonderful and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will certainly be using Kaia in the future and would recommend her to others as well. ☺️”

Susan was amazing. She sent us daily updates and pictures of how our baby was doing. She provided excellent care, including wound care rebandaging daily. She stayed at our house and was there to keep Sasha company and love on her. We had complete peace of mind knowing that Susan was providing excellent care for our sweet girl.
