I am always nervous using new Rovers, as Mia has become dog reactive, but Kristy followed my instructions and continued with positive reinforcement training so Mia can continue to make progress. As such, she had no negative reactions to other dogs on walks during her stay! Kristy also provided me with a daily photo and update each morning to check in. She lives in a lovely, quiet and walkable neighborhood and her kids were gentle and clearly very comfortable with dogs. I would absolutely recommend Kristy and will be re-booking with her again in the future!”

“Alexandra is always our top choice when we need a cat sitter. She always goes above and beyond whether it’s spending extra time, finding creative solutions to give our needy boy his meds, or even literally doing arts and crafts with our cats hahaha. Our cats usually don’t all agree on a person, however they all love Alexandra! I always feel safe and calm knowing she’s there for our cats and family 🥰”
“Victoria has been absolutely amazing! I booked her last minute, and she quickly arranged a meet and greet without hesitation. Throughout Koko’s stay, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos. As newcomers to Clermont, we feel so lucky to have found her — Victoria will definitely be Koko’s go-to sitter from now on!”

“Kara was awesome! We just moved and were not excited to leave our girls so quickly, but had a family wedding in another state. She was thorough and we had no worries about how they were doing with all the updates. We greatly appreciate her care of our ladies especially all the walks they got!”
“Autumn took great care of our cat, JJ, while we were away, giving him plenty of cuddles and play and letting me know when he wasn’t feeling so hot one day. We so appreciated her attention and communication!”

“We were visiting from out of town, and I was a bit nervous to use a new Rover sitter. But our experience with Athena & Richi was wonderful and peaceful from start to finish! They took great care of Sadie who can be very nervous when meeting new people and especially other dogs. Athena helped make the drop off and introductions very smooth, and I received photos and videos of Sadie romping around their yard peacefully with the pack within the hour. We will definitely use them again!”

I have a special way with animals and shower them with love! I work from home, so I have flexibility! Because I create my own schedule, I can make sure to prioritize a pet’s needs and give them my full attention! I am very devoted to all animals I care for. They have my full attention and become my priority for the time I care for them.
“Heather was able to watch my two dogs at last minute's notice! I am boarding them for 10 days in May, so this was a good trial to see how everything went. They seemed quite happy to be with Heather and the afternoon was a success! Thank you so much Heather!”

She took my two mixed breed dogs (one is a pit mix) and gave them lots of TLC on an afternoon walk.

My one dog is slow to warm up to new people and she just took her time and waited for him to come around, which he did.”

She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives.

I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.”
About: Hello, my name is Karaleen, Kara is fine. I’m 33, Navy veteran and just working on my degrees. This gives me quite a bit of down time. So I would love to help out with your pets! I have had pets all of my life, my family actually bred Corgis at one point, and have two girls of my own. so I would love to be able to give some head scratches and belly rubs to your furry members of your family whenever you may need it. Whether it be a walk, or some play time, or just keeping them company at the house. I have reliable transportation so no worries there. Hopefully I can help you out with whatever your pet needs are. Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon. -Kara I am a full time student so I have a lot of time on my hands with a flexible schedule. Open to different times throughout the days and weeks I take bookings for either walks or in home visits with some play time. I have enough time to give them anywhere from something quick to longer visits
About: I am 32-year-old living in Clearwater currently between jobs. I have experience with dogs of all size including, but not limited to, Huskies, German Shepards, Pit Bulls, Dachshunds, and Chihuahuas! I love going on walks, especially with a furry friend. Growing up with a variety of animals such as cats, dogs, and reptiles has made me very knowledgable about animals and the care they need and deserve. I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run around, and I also enjoy going to the dog park or walking on trails. If you need an honest and friendly pet sitter, you can trust me to take care of your fur babies! Feel free to contact me any time of the day.

“Kristy provided a great and worry free stay for my dog Mia! I am always nervous using new Rovers, as Mia has become dog reactive, but Kristy followed my instructions and continued with positive reinforcement training so Mia can continue to make progress. As such, she had no negative reactions to other dogs on walks during her stay! Kristy also provided me with a daily photo and update each morning to check in. She lives in a lovely, quiet and walkable neighborhood and her kids were gentle and clearly very comfortable with dogs. I would absolutely recommend Kristy and will be re-booking with her again in the future!”
“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”

“Janel & Jeffrey love and care for our dog, Argo, as if he was their own! They send us daily pics and videos of him to see what he’s up to. They walk, play and relax daily making him feel at home! He loves seeing Janel & Jeffrey!”
“We had the absolute best experience with this family. This was our dog’s very first time staying with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous, but they completely exceeded every expectation. They sent multiple updates every single day, along with so many sweet photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It meant everything to see how comfortable and happy our dog was while we were away. You could truly tell she was being loved and cared for like part of the family. She also handled our dog’s medication without any issues, which was incredibly important to us. Knowing that her medicine was given properly and on schedule took such a weight off our shoulders. It’s clear this family is attentive, responsible, and genuinely cares about the dogs in their care. I would 100% book with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate. We are so grateful to have found them!”
“Stephen was wonderful, very caring, and patient with my pet! She’s a greyhound with lots of anxiety, but he was patient with her whining. Pictures came daily and he’s very responsive over text anytime you want to check in, I’ll be coming to him again if I get the chance! Also his little boy is great with dogs, and super adorable!”
“Leslie was absolutely wonderful! She was sincerely excited to have Winston in her home. Her house is set up very well to host dogs and the fenced in yard was great.

“Sam is a gem. Violet seems to be relaxed and happy when she is with him. He is a great communicator and is flexible with scheduling. We have used him before and will definitely use him again.”
“We love Jackie! Jackie is professional, very communicative and incredibly flexible. We could tell London had a wonderful time from the daily videos and photos. Jackie truly made London’s stay a home away from home. Asked all the right questions beforehand and followed through on every single one of London’s special needs. I would highly recommend Jackie!”
“Heather was wonderful with our Gracie and kept me updated and included photos every single day. She is GREAT with dogs, having three of her own! We already have her booked again and will continue to recommend her to others.”
“Frankie gives Dzeni and Kathy all the stars, all the tail wags, and possibly a few bonus zoomies. He had the best time with them and came home happy, loved, and clearly convinced he had been on his own little vacation. They were wonderful with him — kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly dog people in the best possible way. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in their care, and Frankie would absolutely pack his tiny imaginary suitcase to go back again. Highly recommend! Frankie says 10/10, would visit again, especially if treats and attention are involved.”
“Tucker had such a great time!! He came home exhausted and freshly washed and blow dried thanks to Yessica! Amazing experience and Tucker can’t wait to go back!”
