“Stefhany was the best dog sitter I have ever worked with!! She sent me pictures and videos of my pup daily. And on the 4th of July she even had him posing in a USA flag bandana it was the absolute cutest. Her home is beautiful and clean and has such a great backyard for dogs to run around in. It was a great experience and I definitely will be booking with her again ?? thank you Stefhany!!”
“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Absolute best sitter. We have had Lorraine care for our dogs for approx 2.5 years both at our home and boarded at her home. We would never consider another caretaker before her. She is amazing with our pups.”
“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!”

“Autumn is the absolute best!!! She sent endless update texts and pictures and I never had to wonder how my dogs were doing! She is full of sweet energy and love for pets and you can really tell how much she loved watching my babies. I KNOW they had the best time ever and cannot wait to go back to see her.”
“Diana has been wonderful to work with and is always very accommodating and super responsive. She communicates clearly and is quick to address any questions or concerns. When she sent a photo of our dog wearing a walk collar, we asked for clarification and she immediately reassured us that it was removed after walks and completely understood our concern. That level of care and communication means a lot to us. We couldn’t recommend her more and feel very confident leaving our dog in her care.”
“Nina is a great dog boarder and she was very sweet with our dog. She was responsive and sent daily updates and lovely pictures. I would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy.

Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years!

We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”

“So thankful for Sarah! This was my first time needing someone I didn’t know to take my babies out while I’m gone, and I’m so glad it was by her. She was prompt, available last minute which I am so thankful for, and great with communication and response!

She made sure they got plenty of exercise and walk time and even sent us lots of photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”

This filled me with peace of mind, and I am grateful for all the care my kitty received. She is super professional and a beautiful human being Thanks Taylor.”
“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”
“Madelin did an amazing job taking care of my two cats during her drop in visits. She gave them plenty of attention, treats, and love. She also took good care of my apartment and was very communicative. I highly recommend her and would hire her in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Citra
“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”

“Liza and her roommates made my pup feel right at home, so much so that by the third day of dog sitting, he was literally whimpering and clamoring to greet Lisa when we arrived in the morning. Each day, he ran inside and never looked back. It was clear that he had all the attention and care he wanted each day! I will happily return when we next need a dog sitter.”
“Cyndi is fantastic! She is so thoughtful and caring. She took such great care of our sweet puppy. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day of my dog running, playing and getting lots of love. Cyndi even let me use her discount code as it was my first time using rover.

About: I have adored dogs since I was a little girl and truly believe they have the purest hearts of any creature on earth. Growing up, I was surrounded by four dogs of all different sizes, which taught me early on how to care for a pack and appreciate every unique personality. I don't discriminate when it comes to breeds. To me, a dog's genuine, nonjudgmental, and loving nature is what matters most. My empathy for animals runs deep, and my goal is to give every pup the love they deserve. I currently have a sweet Corgi (a wonderful gift from my daughter!), but my heart has always been dedicated to shelter pups and making sure every dog feels safe and understood. I bring endless patience, empathy, and a lifetime of hands on experience to every dog I welcome into my home. Because I am fully retired, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to what truly makes me happy: spending my days with dogs! Pet care isn't just something I fit into my day; it is my day. Your pet will rarely be left alone. Whether it's morning cuddles, afternoon play sessions in the background, keeping me company while I cook, or just relaxing together in our home, I am home full-time to provide constant companionship, supervision, and all the undivided attention they could ever want. I’ve set up my home to be as safe and comfortable for dogs as possible. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Inside, it’s cozy, completely dog friendly, and a child free environment. I really just want your dog to feel like they are relaxing in their own home. Your pup will also have my friendly resident Corgi to keep them company. To make sure the dogs don't overheat during the hot afternoons, my husband and I take them out for walks in the evening once it has cooled down. We live right next to a trailhead that is perfect for these evening strolls. I am always patient with new arrivals and will pay close attention to their behavior, adapting to whatever they need so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved the moment they arrive.
About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.
About: I was born and raised around dogs like Lassie. My dad trained dogs, so I understand calm presence and consistent caregiving. Now, I work for myself from home full-time, nurturing the animals in my care. Quick story: One day, I noticed my mom’s chihuahua-papillon mix, Jacques Cousteau, scrunching his face as he tried to eat crunchy food. I went to PetSmart and brought home the healthiest soft food I could find. When he braced himself to bite into it but didn’t hurt his old teeth, he ran over and jumped onto my lap, licking my whole face until I was laughing, knowing he felt seen. He gained a few pounds over the next few weeks (6 pounds to 9, 50% more!). I was so happy that he could eat again without pain. He lived to be about 15 years old! For a chihuahua, that’s a very long happy life. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. Please share any special care needs with me. I am able to be very attentive. Your dog will be my top priority. I cater to special needs. Happy to send photos throughout the day. We treat them like family and have 4 responsible adults who share the space, all love dogs. Our yard has a 6-ft fence and a very cozy home.
About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

“Always on time. Kimberly treats my boy as her own and always lets me know how he is and makes sure to give him lots of love. She is great! I definitely trust her with my fur baby.”
About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.

I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes.

I just moved to Ocala and have a wide open schedule while I settle in. I am available morning, noon, and night. I'd love to lend a helping hand! I try to maintain an orderly environment. I work with the dog so there is a sense of trust and comfort since I am a stranger to them, as well as an understanding that I am in charge in order to maintain a controlled and safe environment
About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.
About: Our pets are our family. I’ve been fortunate enough to grow up owning numerous different types of animals of all ages and sizes. When looking for a caregiver for our pets, we want someone who treats them like family but is also highly educated. I take pride in my experience, knowledge and research on animals. Every animal has its own special needs and quirks. Whatever the needs, I’ll accommodate. Whatever the quirks, I’ll adore. I’ve grown up with all types of pets so they fit in my daily routine as any other family member would. With love, respect and company. In a clients home, I follow all instructions given and take into account any particular things they are fond of or prefer. It’s important to make your fur baby comfortable and at ease while taking care of them. They’re family!
About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs for about 15 years and genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how stressful it can be trusting someone new with your baby. I’m big on communication and will always keep you updated with pictures, walks, meals, playtime and plenty of attention. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday without wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule your pet is used to. Whether they want long walks and playtime or they’re happiest curled up getting attention, I’m here for it. 🐾 I am currently unemployed so I have a very flexible schedule. I can work around your time. I am also free on the weekends too. In my home, I create a warm and inviting environment where pets feel safe and loved. With plenty of playtime, regular exercise, and attention to individual needs, I ensure that each furry friend receives the utmost care and affection. I live in a townhouse but have a pet park next to me, where they can explore and interact with other furry friends, and I’m mindful of any dietary requirements or medications they may need. When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand the importance of maintaining their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions meticulously, keeping to their routines, and providing consistent care. From feeding and grooming to exercise and cuddles, I treat your pets like they’re my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my top priorities. With me, you can trust that your furry companions will receive exceptional care, attention, and love. Let’s discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved pets!
About: I have parented dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for over 30 years. I love all animals and would care for almost any type. Same day availability. I’m retired and available any time. I work part time remotely as an accountant. I have a fenced yard, a garage, and an extra bedroom. I will spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I speak all species of cat and dog, but I’m not fluent in bird. 🤭😉
About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoovfy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well, and I am certified in delivering pet CPR and first aid. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡
About: I have experience with small to extra large breeds. I have worked with a professional trainer to train my dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I truly have a love for all animals. I will treat your loved ones as I would want mine treated in my absence. Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a teacher. I would love to care for your furbabies after-school and on the weekends/holidays. I am off during the summer months and can provide care during the day. I have a fenced yard and my own cats and dogs to keep your pet from feeling lonely. I have crates as well as playpens. I try very hard to keep my home safe and clean, however it is a pet and kid friendly home.

“Anas was personable, accommodating..a pleasure to work with, provided us with regular updates, pictures and videos and was prompt in my correspondence with him. He won my dog over with his pleasant demeanor & obvious love of dogs & provided a safe and happy environment. I highly recommend this sitter and will book again. I unfortunately did not get to meet Tate this time. Thank you Anas”
“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Absolute best sitter. We have had Lorraine care for our dogs for approx 2.5 years both at our home and boarded at her home. We would never consider another caretaker before her. She is amazing with our pups.”
“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!”
“Nina is a great dog boarder and she was very sweet with our dog. She was responsive and sent daily updates and lovely pictures. I would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
“Julia and Alllen took a good care of my two beautiful cata They responded to my messages , sent me pictures everyday , and hand fed my cat when she was anxious and refused to eat They are a great pet care giver and i will use their service again”
“Vanessa is thoughtful, super sweet and knowledgeable with dogs. He takes care of Bobby like he was her own. I trust her every time we travel to care for him, without worrying about if he’s going to get taken care of correctly. Highly recommend 10/10”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“Razor loved his stay with Emily family. She sent me updates everyday with pictures. Razor looked soo happy and did not want to leave. Will definitely be booking Emily again the next time I go out of town.”
“Great care taker! Had absolutely no problems and she loved taking care of Oso. We usually have issues because no one want to take the time to understand our dog. But she was very patient and understanding and Oso loved her. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away which our girls enjoyed because they missed him. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog and we are definitely recommending her to all of our friends and family.”
“As a first time client I was completely unsure what to expect and/or the general way that we would interact. To my great relief and mild angst I found that it couldn't have gone any better. From a business perspective Cyndi was a consummate professional and a valued asset to this organization. As a pet owner I found Cyndi to be caring and respectful in welcoming our dog into her home and I don't know what more I or anyone else could ask when entrusting their pets into another person's care. I value her dedication and would certainly do this again should the need arise.”
“Alexander and Josephine were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and they made the experience so easy and reassuring. They sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. They were also incredibly communicative and accommodating when we had a change in plans, and they handled everything professionally and thoughtfully, which made us feel completely comfortable. When our return flight was delayed, they were very flexible with pickup as well. Josie clearly had so much fun with them and was very well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful sitters.”
About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.
“Danielle was a life saver! We needed a sitter last minute and she was happy to help. We had never boarded our dog Sheo at another person’s home before but you could tell by the frequent photos Danielle sent us he felt right at home! She made sure to keep him on his routine with his meals and his medicine. He was well cared for and so happy when we picked him up. We will definitely be reaching out to Danielle the next time we go out of town. She is a genuine and kind animal lover. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“I’m so thankful to have found Miranda to care for Archer. I feel very comfortable leaving him with her and have used her business for walking, daycare and overnight boarding.”
“Amy took great care of my pup, Schatzee for four nights while I was out of town. She sent me several pictures, responded quickly to my "check in" notes to see how things were going. I particularly liked Amy's home set up. She has a large fenced in yard directly behind her house, and an additional very large fence around her property. My dog is big, young, active, and "zoomie!" She needs space, sunshine, and attention - all in plentiful supply at Amy's. I recommend Amy for boarding of your dog.”
“Jonathan always takes great care of Olive! Olive truly enjoys going to his house and hiding in all of the blankets. This is my second time leaving Olive in his care, she was happy to be going back and I could tell she remembered spending time there, that put me at ease while I was out of town. Will definitely book again in the future”
