Cat Sitting The Villages

“Joanna was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her for any pet care needs on Rover. She took amazing care of my dogs, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was kind, professional, and very prompt in responding to every message, which made communication easy and stress-free. Joanna clearly knows how to navigate the Rover app and used it to provide excellent check-ins and check-outs, always with great photo updates that showed my dogs were happy and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Sabrina took such good care of my dog Lucy. Usually she has a lot of anxiety when I’m gone but not this time time! I received check in photos and reports regularly and the extra photos and texts helped put my mind at ease. An e tra bonus was how clean and tidy everything looked upon my return. Won’t hesitate to use Sabrina again.”

“Lori is a fantastic pet sitter. We have two tuxedo cats and she handled them perfectly. The pictures she sent they were laying around and loving as she was petting them & brushing them as well. We were able to take a great vacation and not worry about our cats while we were gone.”

Tammy T.

“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”

“Berkley is amazing! She is patient and allowed my little girl to warm up to her and gain trust. Berkley also responds quickly to any questions and has made me feel comfortable entrusting my little toy poodle with her.”

Robyn T.

“We've used Rover before but this was our first time booking Jessica, and she did a great job! During the stay, the front door wasn't opening the way it should have and as outlined, but Jessica handled it like a pro and figured it out without any issues. We really appreciated her problem, solving attitude rather than just giving up. When we returned home to Betty Boop, she seemed happy and perfectly fine, always a good sign! We'd definitely book Jessica again. Reliable, resourceful, and great with our pup.”

“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”

“Melissa was great. I felt that my pets were very safe and taken care of. I would use her again. Great communicator. My first time using this service. And leaving my pets with somebody other then family. But now I feel I know her. And she was great with them. Wonderful person.”

Jennifer B.

“Carol Ann does such a wonderful job. You can tell by her interactions and the pictures she sends just how much she loves animals and loves her job. We love having her take care of our dog when we go away.”

Brooke W.

“Misty was an excellent communicator both during initial contact and throughout our time away from our pets. Updates and pictures were also appreciated!”

Lori M.

“Hailey was amazing! I was able to relax the whole time I was away. She was prompt and went above and beyond to hang out and play with my dog. Seeing all the pictures each time made me so happy! Definitely recommend!”

Ashleigh G.

“Nikki did everything we asked and more. We will definitely use her again when we travel. We have one cat that hides from everyone and the very first day she was at the house, she sent a picture of her petting that cat. She is a “cat whisperer” for sure.”

About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.

About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have extensive experience caring for cats with medical needs, including diabetes, thyroid disease, feeding tubes, and medications. I also grew up caring for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two cats, Winnie and Luna, who are incredibly loved and spoiled. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption. Helping animals feel safe, loved, and confident enough to find their forever homes is incredibly rewarding, and it’s one of my greatest passions. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet them! As a teacher, my availability changes throughout the year! During summer, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide daytime, and extended care. During the school year, I’m available on evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to caring for your pets when you need a helping hand! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and favorite activities, so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, playtime, enrichment, and attention, while always respecting your home and following your care instructions closely. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve spent the past couple of years assisting my girlfriend with her Rover clients and helping care for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have some additional free time and decided to begin taking on dog watching myself because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and providing dependable care owners can feel confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I currently have flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and dog sitting. I work in mobile chiropractic services, so I already understand the importance of professionalism, reliability, communication, and being trusted in someone’s home. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure pets feel comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment while also treating the home respectfully and professionally. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall comfort to help ensure each pet receives attentive and reliable care.

“Taylor was awesome. She provided daily photos and updates. Our cats were well cared for while we were gone. Would definitely use again.”

About: I've been blessed to have had dogs and cats most of my entire life. This is the first time I haven't had my own dog and I miss her daily. Pet sitting fills a void in my heart and I will do everything to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. I recently relocated back to California from Lake Lure, North Carolina. My entire community in Western NC was devastated by Hurricane Helene and I was evacuated and returned home near my family. I have enjoyed all of the amazing dogs and animals I have had the pleasure of sitting in the past through Rover.com. Now that I am back in CA I would like to continue my work with animals. I am a responsible caring person who loves animals and am currently available to help with your pets in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, or Santa Ynez Valley. I would never trust a client's dog off a leash. Your animals will never be left alone and always escorted on their walks, unless otherwise told by the owner. Your pets will enjoy the comforts of their own home and be safe while you are away.

“Amazing, thank you for taking such good care of my boy! Shay goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe and always keeps you in the loop. I've gotten some great photos of my pup this week. Thank you again, Shay!”
