About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, starting with my own pets and gaining hands-on experience as I got older. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for my family, including regularly caring for my mom’s dog and my brother’s dogs. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m a true animal lover and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, and making sure pets get enough attention and exercise. Throughout the week, I stay consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s morning and evening care, playtime, or just checking in to make sure everything is okay, I make pet care a priority and enjoy being around animals every day. I provide loving and reliable care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on what works best for the pet and owner. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions given. I make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, and I give them plenty of attention so they feel relaxed and cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean while making sure their pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and comfortable. I also keep an eye on their behavior and health, and I’m quick to communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give them the same care I would give my own.

“Jaritza has been amazing with my requested dog walks. She always asks care questions to make sure that my dog is taken care while I’m away. She communicates quickly & she goes above and beyond even when not asked of her. Literally the best!”

About: I have taking care of my own pets, friends and family for 5 years. I have experienced with puppies and their high energy levels to seniors who just want to chill and relax. Also, I have experienced with pets with anxiety, dogs and cats who just have surgery and are in need of recovery. I can administer their medications, give them their food,water and treats. I can chill on the couch, play, run, go in walks and give them full attention. I love every dog and cat and I treat them with the love and respect they deserve and as if they are were my own. I also feed my dog raw food so I am very comfortable with measuring and handling raw food. My schedule is flexible since I work part time from home and I have full control of my schedule so I can fit in your furry babies needs I have a fenced in yard so my dogs can freely roam around and use the bathroom. I also have two crates with beds and blankets to keep them nice and comfortable. I have a feeding schedule, I give a treat in the morning, some little healthy snacks in the afternoon and I serve dinner at 6pm. I take my dogs out to potty and we go on a walk in the afternoon or we do some running around in the yard or in the back. I try to keep the dogs calm and happy as much as I can.

“Mary has been such an angel to Luna and I. She’s always on time, trustworthy and very kind. She’s great with keeping me updated and sends me tons of pics. I feel such at peace knowing that Mary is coming to walk my sweet Luna. I am forever grateful and highly recommend”

I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I provide care in the pet owner’s home and follow their instructions carefully.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and went to school to train them. I’ve dog (and puppy) sat for neighbors and friends. I have two pups of my own so your fur baby will have friends to play with. They’re both super sweet, so you won’t have to worry about your baby being bullied. I supervise all playtime, especially outside. If you want/need to have a crate for yours, please bring it so I can absolutely accommodate. Your baby will be loved as my own. 🖤 There will always be playtime inside and outside depending on the weather. I can send you pictures during your baby’s stay with updates of how everything is going. 🥰 I work from home so I am always around to supervise and there are cameras around the house to keep an eye if we have to step out. 🙂 I have plenty of toys they can play with, and you can bring their favorite ones as well. If I’m stopping by your house, I’ll make sure everything is as you left it and follow any and all instructions you have left. 😊

“Emma is wonderful! She communicated regularly with us and kept us up to date about Milo. She arrived on schedule and gave our pup real walks. We will use her again in the future!”

About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.

About: I've been caring for animals for over fifteen years — starting with my own two dogs and quickly becoming the person friends and neighbors called first when they traveled. What began as favors turned into something I take seriously: I've looked after everything from eight-week-old puppies to a seventeen-year-old cat who needed delicate care and put on a diet on a strict schedule. Two things set me apart. First, puppy and senior dogs: I've raised three puppies through their first year, so I'm comfortable with leash pulling and senior care. As older pets need a slower pace, gentler handling, and someone who notices small changes — a limp, a skipped meal, a little more stiffness in the morning. I send daily updates with photos, and I'm not shy about calling you if something seems off. I also handle the less glamorous parts without complaint: medication routines, post-surgery restrictions, cats who want nothing to do with me for the first three days, and homes that need to be left exactly as I found them. Mornings, before work. Early morning is my best slot. I can walk dogs starting around 6:00 a.m. through roughly 8:30 a.m., so your dog gets a real walk and a bathroom break before the day starts — not a rushed five-minute loop around the block. Mid-day, on my work breaks. I get a lunch break and a couple of shorter breaks, and I can use them for walks or drop-in visits. That's the gap most owners worry about the long stretch between the morning walk and coming home. I can break it up, so your dog isn't waiting eight hours. Exact timing varies a little by the day, so tell me your ideal mid-day window and I'll tell you honestly whether it fits. After work. I'm available again in the late afternoon and early evening, typically from around 5:30 p.m. onward, for a longer walk or a play session. Before bedtime. I can also do a final walk late in the evening — usually between 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. — so your dog ends the day with a bathroom break instead of a long overnight wait. For puppies and senior dogs, that last walk often matters most. Weekends. My availability is wider on weekends, so morning, mid-day, and evening walks are all easier to arrange. I keep a regular weekly rotation, so repeat bookings hold the same time slot week after week, and I'll confirm every booking in advance. If your dog needs a set walk time that isn't on this list, ask — I can often shuffle things around. I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.

“Ana, is always on time and very very sweet with the dogs. She has helped me tremendously with my new rescue puppy Janie since she has not walked on a leash very much! I highly recommend and I trust Ana! She is the best! thanks Ana!”
