Jennifer had a challenging sit with our cat and dog. We were gone for 8-9 days. She stayed with them and took on the challenges of our geriatric cat and reactive dog. She came to visit several times before our trip. It was important to her that things go well. Within several days, our dog was sleeping with her. She has a calm, kind, and trustworthy aura. Leaving our animals was going to be very stressful, but it wasn’t. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our pets were being taken well care of. Would and probably will use her again. Thank you so very much Jen.

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Linda for the second time! Once again, she exceeded my expectations while taking care of my fur-babies. Linda is incredibly attentive and truly understands my dog's needs. She provided regular updates, shared cute photos and videos that made my time away so much easier. It was clear that my dog felt comfortable and happy, which is all I could ask for. Her dedication to ensuring my fur-baby was well cared for means the world to me. I can't recommend Linda enough! I have already booked her two more times.

We had a marvelous meet and greet in which David stayed for a very long time to answer a lot of questions and hear about our animal crew. Which was much much appreciated. He arrived on time for our house stay. Was met by a very crazy dog. It was our first time leaving her overnight and she knew it and acted out. David was an absolute champion. Went above and beyond to get her calm down and assure us that everybody would be fine. Including our very old cat. Both of our crew were happy and the house was in great shape and we had a wonderful time. David sent pictures and updates and a Nice goodbye when he left. We were so happy we've already booked him for a week. We highly recommend David. Many thanks David for all you did.

About: Pets have been my passion for a long as I can remember! I grew up with them my whole life, and it inspired my passion to care for them into adulthood. I will care for your fur babies as I would care for my own! I’m an Army Veteran who currently works part time, which leaves me with plenty of time to love your pets and give them compassionate care. Every pet has unique personalities, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special. My daily pet care routine includes feeding, tidying up, and giving as much love or space as they prefer. I focus on keeping your pets routine consistent and their environment stress-free, so you can feel confident they're in good hands! When I care for your pets during drop-in visits, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel secure whether that’s quiet companionship, gentle play, or keeping a respectful distance.

About: I began watching dogs in my neighborhood about two years ago and have LOVED it since. I do all breeds and sizes! I am capable of watching multiple dogs at once if needed! Despite me working part-time in Mount Dora and in Clermont, neighbors and I have always found a way to work around it, whether I come right before/right after a shift or just simply depending on their dog’s own capabilities. In Mount Dora, I am typically only gone for about a maximum of 5-6 hours, while Clermont may be a little over 8. When watching inside the homes of my clients, I ensure to keep attentive focus on the dog(s) at all times. I ALWAYS use a leash when letting them out unless it is already a fenced in area. On walks, I use caution and stay alert with other possible dogs walking. I try to keep distance if I know a dog is reactive by either moving to the other side of the street or simply turning and walking the other direction.

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

About: Hello my name is Courtney!! Let me share some things to you about me. I am hard of hearing person, having a dogs to care for bring the joy out of me. They know how to cheer you up. That all make me smile. It doesn’t matter what breeds, gender, or size to me. What matters to me is to make sure they are taking care of with full of love and care. I have 3 girls. Range from 12 to under 1 year old. I look forward to take care of your babies. On plus side I am deaf myself. Being disabled and unable to hear does not stop me loving animals. :) Right now I’m a full time mom with my youngest one. We pretty much stay home. Would love to get out of the house to see doggies. I can always make it work :) I have a full fenced yard where I can always play throwing toys, ball, even some splash of water spray if the dogs like water. There’s a small park around the corner that I can take them to. If it’s a client home I follow what client do to their pets :)

We are new in town and had to find someone to care for our dog, Pete. We were so fortunate to have found Pat to stay in our home while we were out of town. Part is kind, attentive and very loving. Pete was happy as were we. We highly recommend Pat for your dog sitting!

About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my whole life. From neighbors, colleagues, and family. I’ve got two rescues myself and have learned to be extremely patient. I love taking care of animals and showing them they are valued companions, through: walking, feeding, bathing, playing fetch, all of the good things. I have availability on the weekends and most breaks. Mt full time job is an elementary school teacher. I’m not accessible during weekdays between 7:30-4:00. I will be continuing to walk dogs/house sit throughout the school year and the summer! I currently have a dog of my own, that gets his own daily walks and outside time. Preferably when its cooler out. I make sure, that he is getting ample time outside while also managing the heat and weather. I have no problem going on walks dependent on what your dogs needs are, playing fetch, potentially teaching sit and paw to your dog as well. Water, food, and crate clean ups are no big deal!

Our Dog, Blu, took to Destiny immediately (good sign) and I could tell she would be a great in-home sitter for our week away. She asked all the right questions regarding his care and feeding, took good care of him and our home, and communicated daily with updates. She ensured he went for walks and got lots of attention. I definitely recommend Destiny will book her again.

I understand that Rover has many pet sitters to choose from, but we have hit the lottery with Jennifer! She spent time with our baby boy Pete and could not have been more loving, compassionate and attentive. We highly recommend Jennifer for any pet sitting needs.
