“Dallas and Isaiah took great care of my two dogs! I was updated throughout their stay along with pictures and videos. Ava and Phoenix were in good hands. I highly recommend.”
“Molly loved Carl and Linda! She came home happy and relaxed. This has never been the case previously, she was always exhausted and stressed after a stay away from home. Thank you Carl and Linda! Molly will definitely be back 😃”
“If I could give a ten star review, I would! Nancy was super nice. She sent photos daily , kept me up to date on how his stay was going. She responds to messages quickly and made me feel very at ease leaving my dog in her care for several days. She will definitely be getting my dog for future trips where my dog can’t go. Thanks so much to Nancy and her husband! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“He’s the best, grateful he’s been available to watch my pups when I travel. My dogs love their visits, which means the world to me. Also appreciate his flexibility for my chaotic schedule.”
“From the beginning I was nervous about leaving one of our two dogs because he is a rescue that had never been away from me for more than a few days and never in someone else’s house. We arranged a meet and greet at there home and that went well. We dropped them of the morning of our trip, leaving quickly like you would with a toddler. Crystal was very understanding about my trepidation over leaving Titan. Throughout our trip she sent me many pictures of both dogs but paid extra attention to letting me know how Titan was adjusting, this consideration meant a lot to me. When we picked up our dogs of course they were happy to see us we spent the whole day as an outing with them and the one thing both my husband and I noticed was the change in Titan, he seemed more outgoing toward strangers and friendlier towards other dogs so we truly believe this was a great experience for our nervous dog. I would highly recommend both Crystal and Tim and their daughters to anyone looking for a nice family setting for their pet while they’re away.”
“We can see Jonathan is very caring and knows how to handle a shy dog like Gumbo. Brittany already loved him when Jonathan came. We definitely trust Jonathan and his wife to keep and care for our pups.”
“We needed some boarding for our 2 golden-doodles for a couple of nights while we were visiting the Coca Beach/Cape Canaveral/Merritt Island area. Mia had availability and checked all the boxes for us...worked from home, fenced back yard, and 2 of her own pups for playtime with our own. Mia was very flexiable and provided a safe, loving environment for Cooper and Murphy! Thank you very much Mia! As well to ROVER.COM. My wife and I have used this service several times when we travel for vacations or short trips and have had great positive experiences! Highly recommend Mia and Rover.com”
“From the very first meet and great we felt so comfortable with Jillian. Such a warm, comfortable environment. She has such a soothing presence. Dakota took right to her. We got wonderful updates and pictures all weekend. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.”
“Can we give 10 stars?? Lori and Matt are truly pupper peoples. We feel blessed to have found them. Honey (their pupper), Lori and Matt made us all feel welcome and cared for. We received an update and pupper pic each morning and evening. Jazzy had only been with a sitter one other time and a after a week when we picked her up she was completely at ease. We will definitely rebook with Lori M in the future. SUPER STAR SITTER!!”
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“I am so glad I chose Laura to watch my dog on my four day family trip. I had never left my girl with anyone other than family members before, and had no idea what to expect, and it ended up being so simple and more than just pleasant for myself and my furbaby. She was given the best treatment, was treated like my family treats her, maybe even better for those four days, and I got updates with pictures and videos everyday, which was so nice since I am a self proclaimed obsessive dog mom. I never had to worry from the start because Laura was so communicative. She got tons of walks and treats, was allowed to live in her house as apart of their home/family for that time, and quickly got comfortable, likely because of the welcoming calming energy Laura and her home has. My girl is well behaved but I know that Laura actively prevented any anxiety to the best of her ability which guaranteed her best behavior. I would choose Laura in a heartbeat to watch my dog again for any and all future trips! My Moon came home to me and seemed so calm and happy, and planning all of this was a breeze and I know you will have the same experience. Thank you Laura and family!”

“Jennifer is a great cat sitter! She gives updates with photos and summaries for each visit and is awesome about key pickup and dropoff for home visits. I strongly recommend Jennifer as a pet sitter!”
“Priya provided excellent care for my cat while I was out of town. Her attention to detail, thorough care, great communication, and flexibility made such a difference while being away. Prior to booking, she took the time to fully understand my cat’s needs, typical behaviors, and preferences. She provided consistent updates on my cat’s behaviors and feeding schedule and followed everything to plan, with photos. Arriving home, my cat showed no signs of anxiety and everything in my home was taken care of. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her again, knowing my cat’s care is in great hands!”
About: I've owned cats since I was a child, but I first started working with them in a more professional setting when I started volunteering at the Hornell Humane Society. Since 2023 I've rescued 6 cats, and have successfully found loving homes for all of them. It all started with a young grey tabby cat named Katherine, who currently lives with my mothers partner. Last summer I rescued a litter of 5 kittens, 3 boys and 2 girls. I hand raised them from 4 weeks until I found them good homes. I currently own 2 cats, 2 girls named Juniper and Olive Oil! Both were adopted from the Hornell Humane Society in late 2024.
“Katie was AWESOME! She as super responsive every time I contacted her. The photos were great and so cute! She took a lot of time with my fur baby and also made sure she got her medication. I would recommend Katie as a pet sitter to anyone!”
“Caitlyn saved our 4th of July trip and made sure Nova didn't feel alone while we were gone. Walks daily, always updated if she ate or went potty. It made me feel so much better for my 1st time hiring a dog sitter.”
About: I'm a devoted cat lover and proud pet parent to three exotic cats…Rocket, Snarf, and Obie. They're all incredibly friendly, social, and love to cuddle, so caring for cats is part of my everyday life. I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they're playful, shy, or independent, and I'll make sure your feline companion receives the same patience, affection, and personalized care that my own cats enjoy. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away
About: Aside from referencing my overall experience, I hold a special place in my heart for our often misunderstood feline friends. I have two cats of my own whom I love and care for dearly. Both have very different personalities and expectations from me. I love them all the same and I feel I have a good read on cats as well as dogs.
“Chrystal did a great job caring for my 4 cats. She gave updates at every visit and made sure I knew my cat got his medication. She even spent extra time with them and let them out in the back yard (with my permission). My house was tidy and I appreciate that she changed the water in my flower vase after one of my cats made a meal out of the flower! I will rebook with Chrystal next time we travel overnight! Thanks Chrystal!”
About: When I was 8 years old, my mom had me start cat sitting to ensure I was capable of caring for my own. Once I proved myself, I was given my best friend, Roxy. I’ve always been drawn to cats and their vast range of personalities. I’ve worked with spunky cats, shy cats, lazy cats, and so much more. It is truly my mission to make every cat my friend! With me, you can feel safe to leave your baby while you’re out and come back without any worry!

About: I’ve been caring for animals from cats to dogs to fish and turtles since I was young. I love animals and can’t wait to ease your travel or emergency worries while you are away. I work from home and will follow your schedule to the best of my ability, so your pet will be looked after during the day! I work from home so I am available all day everyday typically. It’s so fun to learn each pets quirks and personalities. Pet care helps me get out and get my steps in.

About: I provide personalized, attentive care and treat every pet like a member of my own family. With years 12 of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need extra supervision, frequent potty breaks, and consistency, as well as senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace, patience, and extra comfort. I’m also comfortable administering oral and injectable medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and on schedule. What sets me apart is the level of communication and care I provide. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, quick responses, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for in a safe, loving home. Pet care is a big part of our daily routine! My husband, Isaiah, works Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I bartend in the evenings from 4:00 PM until around 1:00 AM. Because of our opposite schedules, your dog receives plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home during the mornings and afternoons for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks before leaving for work, and Isaiah is home in the late afternoons and evenings to continue their care before I return home at night. We work together to make sure every dog stays on their normal routine with regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, and lots of love and attention. Our goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My home is kept clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards to provide a safe environment. If I have multiple boarding dogs, I carefully consider each dog’s temperament and only accept pets that I know can safely coexist. If needed, dogs can be separated during meals, rest time, or whenever it’s in their best interest. I also provide regular photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and having fun while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and stress-free throughout the stay.
“Daniel S. did a great job boarding my two dogs for a couple of days while I was at work. He was very accommodating with my odd working hours, kept me updated with photos throughout their stay, and was attentive to all of my dogs’ needs.

I believe it’s best to keep pets in their safe space so they can remain stress free while you remain stress free as well. I’m accustomed to house sitting, house care, and staying overnight if needed. I can assure you that I will abide by the campsite rule and always leave things better than how I found them!
About: I’ve had multiple pets my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’ve also pet sat and walked dogs for my neighbors and friends for many years. I’m very reliable, always on time, and great at following detailed instructions, so your pet’s routine stays the same while you’re away. I truly care about how your animal is feeling and what they need, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I recently moved back home, and pet sitting is now my full-time focus! I’m active, dependable, and love spending time with animals. My priority is always your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness. With open availability, I can be flexible and accommodate your pet’s specific needs, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else their pet needs. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of attention and a chance to burn off some energy. While house sitting, I spend time with pets so they have company and don’t feel lonely while their owner is away. I truly want pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time I’m with them.

Working around my schedule for your animals will make me happy. My pup runs the house and the cat is the head captain in charge. I take my pup all over and love to have his company. Mine are not in crates but if you need me to crate your babies just let me know.

“He’s the best, grateful he’s been available to watch my pups when I travel. My dogs love their visits, which means the world to me. Also appreciate his flexibility for my chaotic schedule.”
“We can see Jonathan is very caring and knows how to handle a shy dog like Gumbo. Brittany already loved him when Jonathan came. We definitely trust Jonathan and his wife to keep and care for our pups.”
“We needed some boarding for our 2 golden-doodles for a couple of nights while we were visiting the Coca Beach/Cape Canaveral/Merritt Island area. Mia had availability and checked all the boxes for us...worked from home, fenced back yard, and 2 of her own pups for playtime with our own. Mia was very flexiable and provided a safe, loving environment for Cooper and Murphy! Thank you very much Mia! As well to ROVER.COM. My wife and I have used this service several times when we travel for vacations or short trips and have had great positive experiences! Highly recommend Mia and Rover.com”
“Can we give 10 stars?? Lori and Matt are truly pupper peoples. We feel blessed to have found them. Honey (their pupper), Lori and Matt made us all feel welcome and cared for. We received an update and pupper pic each morning and evening. Jazzy had only been with a sitter one other time and a after a week when we picked her up she was completely at ease. We will definitely rebook with Lori M in the future. SUPER STAR SITTER!!”
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“I am so glad I chose Laura to watch my dog on my four day family trip. I had never left my girl with anyone other than family members before, and had no idea what to expect, and it ended up being so simple and more than just pleasant for myself and my furbaby. She was given the best treatment, was treated like my family treats her, maybe even better for those four days, and I got updates with pictures and videos everyday, which was so nice since I am a self proclaimed obsessive dog mom. I never had to worry from the start because Laura was so communicative. She got tons of walks and treats, was allowed to live in her house as apart of their home/family for that time, and quickly got comfortable, likely because of the welcoming calming energy Laura and her home has. My girl is well behaved but I know that Laura actively prevented any anxiety to the best of her ability which guaranteed her best behavior. I would choose Laura in a heartbeat to watch my dog again for any and all future trips! My Moon came home to me and seemed so calm and happy, and planning all of this was a breeze and I know you will have the same experience. Thank you Laura and family!”
“Jolene was great! Provided us with updates of Mack with photos which puts a pet owners mind at ease especially since we were gone for 10 days. She has other dogs so he got to play and became a part of their family for the time he was there. He may not want to come back because he doesn’t have furry friends to play with just us now. He also got to be on the couch so he was super spoiled. Highly recommend her and her family for your dog and we will definitely.be using her again.”
“Was wonderful with our puppy and even helped us out last minute. Overall a great experience and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely use again when in the Orlando area!”
“Priya is an amazing sitter and took excellent care of my Pug! She is kind and professional, and made sure Matias was comfortable right from the start. The communication was great and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend bringing any pet to Priya and I look forward to seeing her again! Thanks!!”
“Melissa is so good with our boy, Otis! She is friendly and responds quickly. She sends lots of photos and updates during a long stay, which is much appreciated. We will be using her services in the future!”
“I can't say enough good things about Sylvia and her Hubby. My Grandogter is a big old girl, and I was worried about keeping her in a kennel. So, I found Sylvia in Cocoa with the Rover app, and I am so glad I did because my Grandog loved staying there when we had to go out of town for Christmas. I checked on her almost everyday with the texting feature, and all was good, so I got to relax on the vacation. When we returned, she was happy to see us, although I betcha she wouldn't have balked to stay a few more days with all the doggie friends she made at Sylvia's house. Long story short, I would choose Sylvia in a heartbeat if i am in need of some dogsitting. I am very happy! Thanks Sylvia!”
“Maria was amazing! My older dog needed some special attention and Maria went above and beyond for her. Both my girls played and loved staying with her. We look forward to working with her again.”
“Carla was awesome . She took care of Molly so well Molly came back home refreshed and well cared for . Carla and Darren are wonderful people I highly recommend them to care for your fur babies. She accommodated every need of molly and was very easy to work with . Will be boarding Molly with her often”
About: Hi, I'm Lorraine! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I'm currently a proud pet mom to Winston, my loyal 8-year-old Chocolate Labrador; Bear, his mischievous 8-month-old Mini Dachshund brother; Sam, our curious 9-month-old cat; Theodore, our sweet 6-year-old bunny; and Tito, our 9-year-old feisty Green-Cheek Conure. Over the years, I've been fortunate to love many wonderful pets. I raised our beloved mastiff mix Bruno, from puppyhood through his senior years until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 16 years old. I've also cared for our two cats, Dolly and Mowgli, from kittens into adulthood. Beyond cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and birds, including my beautiful Blue Quaker Parrot, Mr. Grumbles. Most recently, I enjoyed running a small homestead where I cared for 25 chickens and 2 roosters, along with 22 hand-raised cheeky ducks. When you entrust your pets to my care, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they'll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own family pets. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and plenty of photos to help you feel connected to your furry (or feathered!) family members. Before any booking, I'd love to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and individual needs, and ensure their vacation is just as enjoyable as yours! The Kindred Pet Company LLC is fully licensed and insured. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I care for my own pets every day. My mornings begin with feeding, walks, fresh water, cleaning litter trays and cages, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need before I start my day. Throughout the day, I make time for potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection, with usually an hour-long evening walks, feeding, and bedtime routines to finish the day. When I'm caring for your pet, I make them part of my routine too. I carefully follow their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away, ensuring they receive the same love, patience, and attentive care that I give my own pets When dogs stay in my home, they'll be welcomed into a safe, loving environment alongside my two friendly, well-mannered dogs. I have a securely fenced backyard where they can enjoy supervised playtime, explore, and relax on the shaded porch. Daily exercise is an important part of our routine, so I walk my dogs twice a day through my gated community, always on a leash for their safety. For puppies and younger dogs who are still learning, I'm happy to reinforce basic commands and good manners using positive, consistent encouragement. I always follow your preferred routines and training methods to help maintain consistency. For drop-in visits, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you, your pet, and their normal routine. This gives us an opportunity to discuss feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions, ensuring your pet receives personalized care while you're away. Throughout each visit, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind.
