About: I have more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, from training puppies and walking active dogs to providing specialized senior care. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and meeting each pet's unique needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind. I am a full-time educator during the week, so I currently focus on providing pet care services on weekends. My weekend availability allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship. I am dependable, organized, and committed to following your pet's routine to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. In a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and household routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I take time to build trust with each pet, paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. I keep owners informed with regular updates and photos, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, an adult pet, or a senior animal with special needs, I provide patient, dependable, and compassionate care so both pets and owners can have peace of mind.

About: Since middle school, I have grown up caring for many different animals. I was responsible for the care of my pets; including two rabbits, three guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and four snakes. All of these pets lived a very lavish and spoiled life. During high school, I used my volunteer hours fostering dogs, rehabilitating them for their forever homes. The care for these dogs included feeding, walking/playing, training, and medical care. I started working in the veterinary medicine field almost two years ago. This field has given me the experience of providing compassionate medical care, no matter the patient. I am now a full time student studying for radiology. I am a full time student, in which I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free in the early mornings and late afternoons of those two days. The rest of the week is completely free besides the 2-3 hours I spend studying for school. I tend to be very watchful with pets and do not like to let animals out without some sort of lead unless your yard is fenced in. I will always prioritize safety over anything else to ensure a safe and positive experience for all parties involved. I also ask that I be either provided an emergency contact and/or a preferred veterinary caretaker in case (god forbid) an emergency does come up. I also ask that if a pet is receiving medications, there are clear directions with clear times to administer medications.

About: Biggest dog lover! Grown up with dogs my entire life, I currently own a senior yellow lab named Copper 🩵 he’s my best friend! Very experienced in lots of different breeds and temperaments. My pup Copper is my soulmate and I know yours is too, I would be so happy to care for them 🫶🏻 I work full time as a neonatal respiratory therapist and have 3-4 days off per week. I am looking for something productive to fill my time and honestly nothing sounds better! I live on 5 acres with a fenced in yard! We also have a pool that’s available for playtime on hot days! My pup Copper is the sweetest, non-dominant and most easygoing dog and would love to have some company here and there!

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

“Thank you for taking such great care of Mike and Archie!!”

About: I offer personalized, reliable care for pets in the comfort of your home.🫶🏼 I do this by following each pet’s regular routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any needed medication. Keep their environment clean, give them plenty of affection and attention, and monitor their health and behavior. Communicate regularly to provide updates and peace of mind, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away!🫡 I have 10+ years of pet care experience and I have 2 babies of my own, one of which I’ve had since I was a teenager!🥰 I have an open calendar. I’m married and do not work. I go to school online but it will not affect any of your scheduling needs! I care for my pets by giving them daily love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I feed them nutritious meals, provide fresh water, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I keep them clean, groomed, and watch for any changes in their health or behavior. Most importantly, I spend quality time with them to ensure they feel happy, loved, and secure every day.

About: I go beyond just watching pets. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have hands-on experience fostering animals from local shelters, which has taught me how to be patient and adapt to different personalities and needs. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always send photo updates so you know they’re in good hands. I have 4 cats please know that they are ALWAYS separated no matter what animal comes over, they have their own room and no animals will meet. House Sitting: I’m available for 24 hour check in visits, but I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. I’m very flexible and can provide multiple visits throughout the day and night. I’m home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, so pets aren’t left alone for long and can stick to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on each pet’s needs. At my home, I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day!

I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.

About: Hey guys! My name is Sarah and I currently live in the High Springs area! I am currently in nursing school ASBN at UF and my schedule is hit or miss!

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner, I know the importance of patience, trust-building, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. My rescue dog, Orville, has taught me the value of meeting dogs where they are, whether they need extra reassurance, structure, playtime, or simply a calm companion. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while their family is away. I have always enjoyed helping friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets. While I have not provided pet care professionally before or through a platform like Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. My experience may not be formally documented, but it comes from years of genuine care, responsibility, and love for all animals. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. Your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Thursday through Saturday, I have flexible availability and can provide care throughout the day. I currently work four days a week until 3 PM, so Sunday through Wednesday I'm available after 3 PM. I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule and routine! I love spending time in my own backyard, but I also enjoy exploring new places! My pup loves adventures, so we often visit on-leash parks for walks, fresh air, and new experiences. I enjoy giving dogs opportunities to safely explore, get exercise, and enjoy the world around them while always keeping their comfort and safety a priority. Play is a constant in our household! I believe playtime is about more than just fetch. I enjoy incorporating scent games, enrichment activities, and mentally stimulating games into a dog’s routine to help keep them happy and engaged (esp. if it's extremely hot or rainy)!
