“Rebecca was so patient and helpful with our special needs dog. He suffers from bad anxiety, but Rebecca came over multiple times to make sure our guy gets to know her and is as comfortable as possible. We were also out of state and our guy got sick, which is my nightmare. Rebecca was super helpful in giving me information so I can coordinate with the vet and she picked up medicine and administered medicine for him; and luckily an emergency was avoided. I am bummed she moved out of state or else she would still be our go-to housesitter/dogsitter.”
“Rhoda is such a kind and reliable sitter! She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup was well cared for and I will continue booking with her.”
About: I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable experience handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and assisting with daily pet care needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. As someone planning to continue pursuing veterinary medicine, I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive to routines and instructions, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already have a flexible schedule and a strong background working with animals. I’m typically available before and after my classes/work shifts, as well as on weekends, which allows me to consistently provide morning, midday, and evening care depending on your pet’s needs. Because I previously worked as a vet tech for, I’m used to structuring my day around animal care responsibilities like feeding schedules, medication times, walks, and monitoring behavior. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can easily adjust my routine to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. My experience as a vet tech has helped me stay calm and observant, so I can quickly notice if something seems off with a pet’s behavior or health. I also make sure the home stays secure by double-checking doors, gates, and leashes during walks. I respect the client’s space by keeping things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. Most importantly, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and stress-free by giving them patience, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had 5 dogs my entire life and i also do volunteer work at animal shelters as well as dog sitting anywhere i’m needed. I love animals and I do have training experience as well as experience with challenging or older dogs. i work part time so i’m able to go in the mornings to houses for walks and i have full availability tuesday’s and thursdays! I love taking dogs on walks as well as making sure they get a lot of play time and attention. It’s also important to me that they don’t get too overwhelmed or stressed in situations as well! A tired dog is a happy dog !
“She did a great job keeping me updated on my dogs. She responds quick help ease the stress of leaving my dogs . my 2 frenchies seem to enjoyed their time with her. Thanks again.”
“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
About: I have been the go-to sitter for friends and family for over ten years and recently started taking clients through TrustedHousesitters. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of varying temperaments and can accommodate a range of special needs, from senior pets to administering medication. I'm comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping homes clean, tidy, and secure while owners are away. I'm calm, respectful, and attentive, and I love to keep pets happy, comfortable, and settled in their usual routines while their owners are traveling. Pet care fits easily into my schedule - I work part time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else they need. In the client’s home, I’m respectful and committed to keeping things clean, secure, and just as they left them, so pets stay safe and comfortable.
“Katherine did a fantastic job watching our pets. She sent us updates and photos and it allowed us to have fun knowing everyone was safe and well cared for. She even made friends with our most stand offish kitty! We will definitely hire her again!”
“Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!”
“Yvette was just terrific with Bernie and Zorro and we have engaged her for our next trip. She was conscientious about taking them out for their walks and kept them happy during our 11 day absence. We can recommend her highly.”
“Victoria did an amazing job with my 2 puppies. They absolutely loved her and had a great time. She sent updates though the afternoon/night with pictures and it was amazing to see them calm and sleeping ir playing and eating. Will absolutely recommend her!”
About: I grew up having dogs, and always had one basically my entire life. I love having dogs around, I unfortunately ended up losing my daughter/fur baby in a recent separation from my wife. Love the joy and energy that come from having dogs around. I work from home full time, and live alone, so your dog will have my full attention. I will treat your dog like my own child, I am ready to make any accommodations needed so your dog will have the best time while they are in my care. I’m flexible if you need to make any changes, just let me know. I live in a single family home that has a fenced in backyard, in a calm and quiet neighborhood. The neighborhood also has a lake to walk around the dogs around when they need to get some fresh air and activity. If I do need to leave the house your dog will not be in a crate. They will have my guest bedroom to themselves with a queen bed for them to relax and sleep on. They will also have their own bed next to mine in the master bedroom to sleep in at night.
“Lanie came over on short notice to meet Chauncey, and hung out with him for several hours the next day. She took him for plenty for walks and gave him lots of love while I was gone! I came home to a happy, tired pup ?”
Temple Terrace pet parents share their Rover experiences
Meredith is amazing! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. When I got home, everything was exactly as I had left it, clean, organized, and well taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lucas was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Marie is INCREDIBLE! My home and pets are safe and so well taken care of when Marie house sits. She manages multiple cats (who don’t get along😊), and a sweet dog with health issues-and she manages it all like a pro! Communication and photos are so nice to receive from Marie, too. Thank you!!!!
Charlotte was amazing! She provided daily updates and pictures of all of our pets. From our first meet and greet we could tell she clicked with all of them and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. 10/10 and will be booking with her again
Jessica is an amazing pet sitter. I have booked her twice now and she goes above and beyond, communicates well and regularly, and somehow leaves my home cleaner than when she arrived. 😂 She sends photos and videos often, and somehow it is always right when I’m thinking about my sweet kitty. I am very anxious when leaving my ragdoll and have felt super comfortable knowing she is with Jessica. Your pet is definitely in great hands with her!
Shawnna comes and sits my 5-month old puppy when I have long shifts. She always updates me on their visits with pictures and videos and makes sure he gets lots of playtime, walks, and attention. It's always a relief to know he's getting so much extra enrichment while I'm away.
Adrianna did a wonderful job caring for my dog and two cats while I was away. She was communicative throughout the entire visit and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she was thorough and attentive to their routines and needs. When I returned, the house was in great order and all of my pets were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again in the future.
Victoria was amazing during the stay with our dogs. She followed our instructions and was great at communicating and sending picture updates! She is very skilled which eased our minds as we were away for a few days. We would definitely book again in the future !
