About: I’m new to Rover, but have been in the petsitting and housesitting business for years now. All of my clients have been word of mouth, and I have a goal to expand my clientele and services. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From tiny lap dogs who think they own the house to giant breeds who actually do. Whether your pet is a couch potato, zoomie champion, professional squirrel watcher, or secretly plotting world domination, I’m here for it. I have experience with animals big and small and know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, dependable, and always ready for belly rubs, playtime, long walks, or just keeping your furry friend company while you’re away. Your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and care, plus updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Warning: your pet may come back spoiled with affection and expecting celebrity-level treatment. I currently have an fairly open availability and a flexible schedule, which means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and even last-minute pet care needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk and playtime, your cat needs a quick check-in and treats, or your pet simply wants someone to exist nearby while they silently judge them, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and very specific demands, so I do my best to stay flexible and work around what keeps them happiest, safest, and most comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or convinced they are the ruler of the household, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at their own pace. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, behavioral changes, and making sure your home stays secure and tidy during visits. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and quirks. My goal is always to create a calm, low-stress environment where your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you’re away.

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛

I couldn’t be happier with Kailee and the care my cats, Fiona and Phoebe, received! She was incredibly responsive and responsible, and I truly felt at ease knowing my kittens were in such good hands. Kailee was sweet and caring, took the time to play with them, and sent regular photo updates where you could clearly see how happy and comfortable they were. It was obvious she really connected with them — even my more reserved cat warmed up to her quickly! I will absolutely reach out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy cat sitter.

Ryan was an absolute awesome sitter for our little Luna. He was very accommodating and came a little early per our request to bond with Luna and give her time to feel comfortable around him. She seemed very comfortable and happy and wanting to play. Ryan was very respectful and helped also keep things tidy , bringing in our packages and mail. We definitely will book with Ryan again for our next trip.

I highly recommend Jennifer. She is responsible, pleasant, articulate and was great with my dog, Willie. Willie is on daily medicine and a supplement. He also can be anxious about being left behind/alone. She took great care of him! She checked rather than assumed she knew what to do when something came up. I will be looking to have her as a house/dog sitter again.

Chloe was absolutely amazing! She cared after our boys (2 French bulldogs) while we were out of the country getting married. One of our boys has no eyes and the other is food aggressive so I know she had her hands full but handled it like a champ! She kept us updated annd allowed us to enjoy our time away. She also left our condo just as clean as when we left which was a nice surprise. We will absolutely use Chloe again (if she will have us!). Thank so much for taking such good care of Drogo and Mr. Cooper!

About: Hi! I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Tampa. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been taught how to deal with all things dog! I love staying active so dog walking is the perfect job for me! I enjoy walking my dogs, playing with them, and overall making sure they're being taken care of and I'd love to do the same with your furry friends. At home I have 3 dogs so I'm used to being around them 24/7 and being their care taker. The last couple of years my family and I have also fostered a couple dogs, which has given me the opportunity to gain experience. My main priority is making sure your pets are happy and healthy while you are out of the house! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! As a graduate student I spend a lot of time studying at home. I am very open on weekends and would love to watch your dogs to get a good break from my school work! I have a fenced in area at my apartment specifically made for dogs. The area around is perfect to take long walks and get out in the sunshine! I love sticking to schedules and making sure your dog is comfortable with their normal daily activities!

About: I have had 2 dogs, and I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends pets for years! I am a huge dog (and cat) person! I can walk, feed, bathe, and stay the night dogs and cats (or any other animal). I will be home for my summer break from college, so I will be available most hours of the day! I have a part-time job, but as long as you reach out to me in advance I can work something out! I have a fenced in yard at home. My dog is 5 years old and she is my best friend, and we rescued her when she was a puppy from our local shelter! I walk her 3-4 times a day (she loves walks) and I feed her 2-3 times a day. We never keep the doors open for her safety, and to make sure she does not escape. I also make sure to give her lots of snuggles, she’s a huge snuggler :)

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.

This was an outstanding experience! Liz took the time to meet our pets before we made our decision, which gave us peace of mind. Her experience and education in animal care are evident, and she has a natural affinity for animals. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with regular videos and photos, ensuring we were always informed. We returned to a perfectly clean house…trash taken out, beds stripped, and more. We will definitely book with Liz again as soon as possible!
