“I have an older dog that is set in her ways and had never been away from home. She stayed with Nola for 2 weeks and came home happy. Nola was wonderful. Sent us pictures every couple of days. I would highly recommend her.”

“Lenetta has done a fabulous job taking care of Linc. She is loving to him and truly takes care of him as if he were her own dog. I can tell he’s having a wonderful time with her because she sends videos of him playing, and having a good time! He comes home happy and tired!”

“Stephanie goes out of her way to make sure things go smoothly. Knowing our fur baby was in good hands made it easier to leave her. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. I highly recommend her. Thanks Stephanie!”

“Stefhany and Jean took wonderful care of our dog! Rusty was right at home with such a loving and dedicated family. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for loving him as if he were part of their own family. Stefhany y Jean cuidaron a nuestro perro de forma maravillosa! Rusty estuvo como en casa con una familia tan amorosa y dedicada. Les agradecemos de corazón por haberlo querido como si fuera parte de su propia familia.”
“As always Katie took great care of our dogs while we were away on a cruise. I especially loved that she sent us photos and even dressed them in cute Christmas outfits which made our hearts so happy. It was hard being away from them over Cbristmas but much easier knowing they were in great hands.”

“Our 2 Havanese loved their time with Erica and her family! The felt very comfortable and at home with Erica! Erica kept in contact with us and shared pictures of our ‘kids’ during their overnight visit! We will be returning!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Elisa while she cared for our dog, Lia. This was our first time using Elisa’s services, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that Lia was in great hands. Throughout Lia’s stay, Elisa kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how well Lia was doing. She was also very attentive to Lia’s eating habits and took the time to ensure she ate her full meals, something we truly appreciated. Elisa’s care, communication, and genuine attention to Lia’s needs exceeded our expectations. We can honestly say that we will be bringing Lia back to Elisa in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

I go on 4 mile walks/runs about 3 -4 days a week and happy to take your pet along for a walk or run! I’ve taken in many pets , such as those who have needed senior care , pets who were deaf and or blind , and pets who were rescued. I have 3 years of paid experience working with animals ! I’m currently in school virtually full time so I guess you could say I work from home ! Im able to fit any walk routine , any potty schedule , and any drop bys if needed ! I have a fenced in back yard! I also have a spare room for any animals I board ! When visiting clients homes I send updates and pictures if needed !

“Ingrid was EXCEPTIONAL! Right from the meet & greet start. She responded immediately, made it convenient for us, and was so in tune & caring. She didn't extend her stay, she took care of business, friendly & open. She truly went above her duties during her check-ins. She cleaned up after our 2 cats in ways I never asked for n when we got home everything I thought I'd have to do right away was done!!! Cats, even our bashful one, enjoyed her visits & attention so much.....they didn't seem mad at us when we got home. This was a first! Thank you Ingrid, and welcome to the family. You are a sweetheart”


“Joe was really great! He showed up on time and went above and beyond in walking our dogs and caring for them. He was very friendly also! We will definitely use him again! Thank you, Joe!!”

“Lenetta is very caring and wonderful with cats. We came home from vacation to see two very happy and relaxed kitties because of her wonderful care. Lenetta is prompt and reliable and I highly recommend her services.”

“Katelyne was so easy to work with! Wore our pup out and took great care of our chickens, while keeping us updated on how they were doing the whole time. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Megan was able to come early morning to make sure my oldest cat had her meds put into her morning food. All my cats were in their normal routine when I came home. Communication was good while I was gone letting me know what was going on.”


About: I am cat person any day ! Growing up I had 4 cats of my own . 2 boys and 2 girls ! A mom and her 3 kittens ! I have experience in caring for female cats on their cycle , cats who are blind or deaf, and taking care of senior cats ! I love bonding with cats especially the shy ones haha! But of course enjoy my cats with the zoomies and crazy climbing ! I have 3 years payed experience with cats !

“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!”


About: ’ve been around cats my whole life and have over 10 years of experience taking care of them. I have 3 of my own right now, so I know how different each cat’s personality can be. I’m patient, caring, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, litter box cleanup, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it handled

“I recently moved to Crystal River and was feeling anxious about finding a new pet sitter. I chose Kathleen and am so happy with my decision. She just completed 6 days of drop in visits and upon returning home, all was as I had hoped. Litter pans and water bowl clean and plenty of kibble available. She even washed out the canned food bowls . It is with relief and appreciation that I can say Tessie and I have a new pet sitter !”

“Naomi took wonderful care of my young cat, Daisy. Each day she sent us updates and photos, which we very much appreciated. It’s stressful leaving our fur kids behind. Naomi and her family put all our concerns to rest. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch Daisy again!”


“Julie was fabulous and went above and beyond for my two cats. Really grateful to have found her to care for my pets while I was out of town for a week. My cats are typical cats but were happy and litter boxes were clean when I got home. Thanks again Julie!”

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.
About: Just an all around animal lover! Patient, understanding and will lead with confidence so your dogs feel structured and safe. You can be at ease knowing that safety for your pet is my highest priority and I will treat them as my own! I work online from home and set my own schedule so I am available all week. I am available to walk your neighborhood, my neighborhood is great or I love to walk trails and beach :) I develop a relationship with each dog based on trust and an understanding of their individuality and personality. I allow dogs to be dogs within the realm of what is appropriate and they seem to appreciate my confident and casual style of leadership.

“Tina was amazing! She took care of Martin like her own. We had her do a few drop ins while out of town and she kept us in the loop the entire time. She even offered to check on our pup when our flight was delayed. Tina made me feel like I could put my phone down and not worry if Marty was going to be taken care of. I definitely recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs.”


“Stephanie is top notch! She cares VERY much for animals which is obvious from minute she meets them throughout time she pet sits. She kept us updated via text (our request). Even brought in our flag when bracket broke had on garage wall outside. We will DEFINITELY keep using Stephanie and highly recommend for pet care 🐾”

“Stephanie goes out of her way to make sure things go smoothly. Knowing our fur baby was in good hands made it easier to leave her. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. I highly recommend her. Thanks Stephanie!”

“I almost hate to review this true gem! Linda will puppy sit one dog at a time which is great for my people-friendly, dog-hesitant fur baby. Her love of pets is so very apparent the moment you meet her. What a truly great find.”

About: I have been working with dogs for about 8 years. I have experience from working at kennels and a veterinary office. I am pet CPR certified and have taken courses on dog behavior and body language. Dogs are truly my passion and I love each and every one like they are my own. I have a very open and flexible schedule to watch your furry friends! I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. I do live on 3 acres of land with a smaller fenced in dog area off of the back patio. There is plenty of space for your dog to run and have fun but also can accommodate a slower lifestyle for the old timers. I have 3 dogs of my own that have been with me in the kennels and doggie daycare so they are very well versed on all types of behavior from other pets and are tolerant and love the company. I’m currently watching dogs from home full time so my schedule is tailored to your dog and their needs. I never leave our dogs alone for more than 4 hours and you can expect the same while I am watching your furry friends! I live on 3 acres along with living in a peaceful neighborhood so if your dog is use to getting walks every day, I can do that. If your dog is a lazy bones and just wants to hang out we’ve got space to do that too. They will get plenty of attention and be treated like my own.
About: I'm experienced working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. Working in dog training, veterinary hospitals, and even animal control has left me with a wide variety of experience. Self employed, so I have a free schedule. Only times unavailable are Sunday mornings. Any days I'll be unavailable will be known months in advance. I have a private fenced in yard with a security system. Also full access between the house and sunroom. Segregation tools like crates are available if needed.

“Dawn was able to accommodate our very last minute request to watch our puppy while we went tubing at Rainbow Springs State Park. She was very responsive and was willing to watch our puppy longer than our booked time, since we were delayed by weather in the area. She made our anniversary trip down the river possible. We are thankful to Dawn and her children for caring for our puppy.”

“Nola and Rick took our 2 dogs into daycare as a short notice booking. Both dogs enjoyed spending 2 days with them. I would definitely use these 2 again in any future visits.”

“Our boy Dexter had the absolute best time staying with Candace and her husband. They were the best and kept us informed with pictures the whole time. Dexter was so excited to see them the second day we dropped him off. We will definitely be using them in the future. Can’t thank them enough for giving our boy the BEST care.”


“She took good care of our dog and treat her as he own. We got regular updates, complete with pictures, which gave us peace of mind. When we came back to pick her up our pet was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter!”

About: I've always had a passion for animals my whole life. When i was 13-14 i volunteered at a petting zoo with all sorts of animals even dogs.I also use to pet sit for family friends quite a lot. I currently work at a boarding/daycare facility where we tend to all of their different needs. I'm currently traveling with my boyfriend for his work, so anytime i have a booking on here i will be home the entire time. Other then that i would be doing door dash/spark driver but id much rather pet sit to continue doing what i love. Anything involved with animals. Have 100% attention towards them. Take them out to run and play atleast ever 1-2 hours (more of course if their outside loving dogs). Making sure their eating as they should be and drinking plenty of water.
“Katie is amazing!! She's clearly knows what she's doing and cares a lot about every dog that comes through her front door. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My pet comes home happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“I highly recommend Jessica's lovely family! My dog stayed with Jessica while I was on the tour at crystal river. When I need sitter service near the crystal river area, I definitely contact Jessica again. Thank you for taking care of my dog!”

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.
“Many pet daycare facilities close between 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm, so I looked on Rover.com to find a pet sitter who coud watch my dog later than that while I went out to dinner. I was glad to find Sarah. Sarah was very friendly and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Her home looked like a very nice environment in which pets could happily play and rest. I would leave my dog with Sarah again.”

About: I have taken care of my parents pets whenever they go out of town. I feed them their food and make sure they go out to bathroom; I love to be around pets. I get along with them well. I love to play with their toys like throw it and let them bring it back to me. Im currently part time working; due to Im going to school . Im flexible for taking care of animals. Im available Monday thur Friday to watch your animal. If you need someone for the weekend im available also. I can give all the love to the animals. I love showing the love and making them feel safe and let (she or he) enjoy the environment and playing time outside
“This is the 1st time I used Rover and it was a great experience. Erica was very calm as was her house and surroundings. I did this while traveling and would not hesitate to bilk again while in the area. Many thanks😊👍”

About: From pups to great Danes, turtles to amazon green parrots, fish and more, love them all. Cats are great but only can do drop in visits. I work from home and pets will go out supervised in the yard and walks, weather permitting( down pour rain). Letting pets out IS MY PRIORITY!! I have a fenced in shaded yard perfect for small sunbathing and rolling around in the grass. Great for doing zoomies and playing ball lots of fun!!

About: I have had dogs and cats the majority of my life, as well as livestock throughout high school. In high school I also participated in a veterinary program for 4 years where I learned about animal health, signs of illness, how to administer medication, animal behavior, basic grooming, training techniques and more. I apply this information to pets that I care for as needed so they can receive the best care for their individual personalities and needs. Your pets social and physical needs being met to the fullest extent is very important to me, they will be treated with kindness, love and understanding. I am comfortable using the tools your dog is familiar with for walks including but not limited to: Gentle leaders or other head halters, prong collars, flat collars, harnesses, e collars. I have daily availability to provide walks or drop in care for your pet! Due to rental rules I am unable to take animals back to my own home for any duration of time. While I am currently unable to provide care in my own home I strive to provide your pet with meaningful interaction in the comfort of their familiar environment. If your pet loves fetch, we can play! If your pet isn’t a fetch fan we can interact on walks or in your home and yard focused on games and activities that they find fulfilling.
“Laura loves dogs and does a fantastic job of making everyone feel great about the experience!!! She is so quick with communication and sent some very good pictures. We could even see Beau prancing and smiling so we knew he was having a great time.”

About: I’ve been living with dogs my whole life and I love all kinds of pets! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs and cats except bottle-babies. I am a certified dog trainer and formerly worked at an animal rescue as the behavior manager. This has provided me with experience with dogs and cats of various temperaments from a variety of situations. I also offer private dog training and other pet services through my private business. My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can make time any day of the week to work with you and your pets. For dogs in boarding, I always make time throughout the day for plenty of playing, physical exercise, mental enrichment, and relaxation. I have experience with a variety of care requirements including special handling for animals of different temperaments, walking and exercising dogs with behavioral issues, preparing specialized diets, and administering medications that I am confident in applying to your pet’s needs. While boarded, each dog has their own space to sleep, eat, and otherwise relax without being bothered by other dogs in the home. This can be a crate or puppy pen depending on what is the best fit for the dog. This is also where the dogs stay while I am out of the house to prevent any incidents between dogs. During the day, the dogs have the opportunity to spend their time inside or outside. There are plenty of toys and beds inside for some playing or relaxing. Outside, they have a fenced-in acre to run, explore, and roughhouse. The dog-friendly pool will be ready for use in April 2026. It has a 8x16ft sun shelf to allow for lounging in shallow water and a ramp for easy access in and out of the deep end. It is screened in to prevent anyone from slipping in unnoticed. For days that don’t allow for much exercise outside, I have treadmills to burn energy for dogs that are comfortable with them and plenty of puzzle feeders to keep their minds busy.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well.

I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.
“Breezy came in clutch when we had to make an impromptu business trip at the last minute. They always take time to hang out with our pup and take them for a nice long walk. Our doggo loves them and we appreciate how quickly they respond to walking requests and how kind they are to our pup.”

About: I’m a dog person. I’ve never been without a dog and have owned many breeds; A Chihuahua, German Sheppard, cockapoo, English Springer Spaniel, mixed breeds, Jack Russell Shortie. I love them all. Currently I own a 15 year old senior Corgi and an 18 month old long haired Mini Dachshund puppy. I can’t get enough of dogs. I have also dog sat for many neighbors and family. My daughter owns two very active Australian Sheppards and they love me! because I am retired and home full-time i can shower your fur babies with love, attention and activities. Please save me from owning too many dogs by allowing me to invite your pup(s) into my home! I am retired and I do volunteer work, about 10 hours a week. I have a senior dog who requires eye drops and a special diet. In addition my youngster dachshund has completed puppy training, house training and socialization. She loves to play, if you have a puppy, my home is puppy proof and I will help you work on housebreaking. I have a large home with a fenced yard. I have two well socialized and pet friendly dogs. A 15 year old Corgi and an 18 month old mini dachshund. My dogs are crate trained. Visiting dogs can be crate trained or free to roam the house. On furniture is fine, but I will adhere to your rules. I do not allow dogs in my bed.

I’ve taken in many pets , such as those who have needed senior care , pets who were deaf and or blind , and pets who were rescued. I have 3 years of paid experience working with animals ! I’m currently in school virtually full time so I guess you could say I work from home ! Im able to fit any walk routine , any potty schedule , and any drop bys if needed ! I have a fenced in back yard! I also have a spare room for any animals I board ! When visiting clients homes I send updates and pictures if needed !

“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”

About: I have always had pets, from small dogs and cats to big guardian dog breeds. I've also dealt with puppies, senior dogs, or pets with special health needs. I provide dependable, personalized care because I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can have peace of mind. I take the time to get to know each pet, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy's play schedule, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or helping shy or anxious animals feel comfortable at their own pace. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. Whether we're going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll treat them with the same care, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. My focus is on creating a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. My schedule is flexible for walks and feedings if necessary. My schedule is completely open if extended time is needed for longer walks, play time and belly rubs 🥰. I have an open floor plan which allows your fur baby to roam free with plenty of space. I also have space for a crate when needed. I have a friendly dog for him or her to play with.
“Blanca loved her stay with Toni and enjoyed playing with another big dog. She was really treated like part of the family and I know today she misses the attention. I will definitely use Toni again because I know my girl was safe and happy there. Highly recommend!!”

“Katherine took care of Buster while I was out of town. Buster suffers from bad anxiety and does not travel well. Katherine’s care allowed Buster to remain in a familiar environment and familiar faces. I could tell he was sad to see her go. I will definitely reach out to Katherine in the future to care for Buster.”

“Kelly made Zeus very comfortable and got plenty of exercise. We will definitely book with Kelly in future. I have a neighbor that will be reaching out as soon as I give her the information. Thank you Kelly.”
