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: Hey pet parents! If you need a trustworthy animal sitter and/or walker, I’m you’re girl! I have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I have dog sat for several of my neighbors in the past. I know how to care for them and can even train them to learn basic commands. I, myself, have an 8 year old German Shepherd, who only gets the best treatment. I greatly enjoy walking dogs, as I know they spend most of their time at home. Every walk is an adventure for them, as well as necessary exercise. I will stick strictly to any schedule you have set for your pup, and do my best to keep them happy and healthy. We are so lucky to have the loyalty and love of these animals. I want to give them the treatment they truly deserve. I will work hard to earn the trust and friendship of any dog. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your fur baby! I’m usually available on weekends and weekdays after 5 pm. I am well versed in body language to ensure your pet is comfortable. I will stick closely to your schedule and try to maintain a sense of familiarity for your pet to give them the best experience possible.

“Thank you!!!!! Gizmo and koko are very grateful for your visits”

About: With 6 years of experience in pet care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. My journey as a pet sitter began with caring for my family’s pets, my own and soon expanded to helping neighbors and friends, which led to a deep passion for providing exceptional care for all kinds of animals specifically dogs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine, tailoring my care to meet their specific needs. Whether it’s a high-energy dog that needs plenty of exercise or a shy cat that prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to provide the best experience possible for you and your pets.I’m committed to treating every pet as if they were my own, providing not just basic care, but a loving, nurturing environment where they can thrive. I'm currently unemployed as a college student looking for a job. All my classes are online so anytime on any day of the week works for me to take care of your beautiful pet. When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual environment and routine to minimize stress and keep them comfortable.When pets stay with me in my home, they are welcomed into a warm, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have plenty of space to roam, play, and relax, and a secure backyard for outdoor time. My home is free from hazards, and I’m always mindful of maintaining a clean and comfortable space.

“Linwood did an excellent job looking after Leon. Always taking extra time to ensure Leon had adequate play time. I appreciated the follow ups during my break.”

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. Since I was little my family has always has a mix of animals. I have always loved Caring for animals and would love to meet your sweet fur babies. I an currently a SAHM to am amazing one year old I have plenty of extra time during my day to care for your pet like they are my own Our home provides a fully fenced yard and a private room for your pet if needed but they will be hanging out with us all the time.

About: I am an animal behaviorist trainer. I do day care pick up & drop offs in the morning, afternoons and evenings. I have a huge truck and the back is built up just for K9 transportation. My services include backyard waste removal baths and nail clips. I am affiliated with local day care centers and grooming services: Below are my current affiliates: Soapys LLC, Bow wow resort and Dogtopia. I am surrounded by animals full time. Participating in this field is such a rewarding experience. I have a public calendar you are able to view and book at all different times and see prices that increase/decrease every hour. If you are one of my regulars, we work out a private membership plan and prices per week stay the same :) I have several connections in the area for day care & overnight boarding. I'm happy to come to you. Last minute time slots are available.

About: Hi, I’m Winter! I may not have years of formal pet care experience, but animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a proud dog mom to three large pups, so I know what it takes to handle energetic dogs, daily walks, and lots of playtime. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets from time to time, and I love being that trusted person they can count on. What I bring to the table is reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’ll make sure to follow your pets’ routines, keep them safe, and give them plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and stress-free. My schedule can vary a bit since I also work part-time, but I usually have a little more flexibility Monday–Thursday for drop-ins, walks, and shorter stays 😊 Fridays–Sundays can be a bit harder to guarantee unless I’m asked in advance, especially for overnight house sitting. I’ll always do my best to accommodate requests when I can, and communication is very important to me so I’ll always be upfront about my availability! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. At my home, I have a fenced yard and a secure dog run so pups can enjoy fresh air and play in a safe space. I’m also very familiar with crate training and caring for dogs with separation anxiety — my own crew (a Staffy, a Bully mix, and a wolf hybrid) are crated while I’m at work, and my boyfriend comes by during the day to let them out, play with them, and give them love until I get home. I make sure my dogs get regular exercise through solo dog park trips and daily walks, and I always take the right precautions if the weather is hot to keep them safe and comfortable. On top of that, I’ve fostered dogs and rescued kittens, which taught me a lot about patience, safety, and adjusting care for different personalities and needs. Whether I’m looking after your pets in my home or yours, you can count on me to keep them safe, cared for, and loved — and I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I would be a great choice to care for dogs and puppies because of my professional experience with animal care, working at an animal hospital and dog daycare setting, my genuine love and tenderness for our furry friends, and my patience and good energy with all animals. I have also lived on a farm and worked with my best buddy pup- Bella the border collie - So full of energy! I can be at residence early in the morning and late at night as the pets needs require. I can also do any overnights and extended stays as needed. I have had experience with other animals as well. I have had experience with medication , including insulin , IV liquids and pilling. I am very easy to contact via text or call on my cell or email if that is preferred. I have professional references available on request and am clean cut and very friendly.

About: I have over 10 years of experience in the pet industry, including 3 years working as a kennel technician. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish through both professional work and independent pet sitting. My experience includes managing large-dog playgroups, dog walking, feeding, administering routine care, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Your pets will be treated like family! Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I have a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care and attention pets need. I make sure his litter box stays clean, his food and water are always fresh, and he gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I believe the little things make a big difference in keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it my priority to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I ensure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime and exercise both indoors and outdoors, and any necessary medications are given as directed. I also take pride in following each pet parent’s checklist and routine so nothing gets overlooked. My goal is to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they receive when you’re home!

About: Hello Pet Parents, my name is Micah and it’s a pleasure. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies for years. From neighbor’s pets to strangers pets I’ve done it all. I also have house trained a lot of pets from all different shapes and sizes. You can call me the handyman of pets and I’ll treat your pet like it was my own. I’m currently working from home but it’s not a micromanaging type of job. It’s more like as long as all tasks are done by the end of the week you’re good. So that being said I have all the time to care for your pets and make sure they get play time and everything that is needed. I have two pets myself so I know what it means to have and give that quality time with your pets because pets have feelings too. I also train dogs. I have two dogs. One is an Australian Shepherd and a puppy German shepherd. I take them out to exercise daily and can easily crate them if you want your pets separated from them. They both are fully vaccinated also and such sweethearts.
