“I can't say enough good things about Linda! It is obvious that she loves the pets she cares for, I was out of the country for 2 weeks. And my girl was spoiled rotten!!! Linda sent videos of her having the time of her life, running on the property and laying on a lounge chair by the pool, and getting attention from Linda and her husband in the house... I know she was well loved and well cared for for. This is my second time using this sitter and I will use her any time I need to go away, even if it's just a couple of days! It's a blessing to have a place where my dog can go.And it feels like a second home or even a vacation to her! Much gratitude and highly recommend.❤️”
“Nola was wonderful! Callie stayed with Nola for 2 weeks while I went to visit my daughters. Nola sent pictures regularly which was very reassuring to me! I could see Callie was happy and getting along well with the other dogs. I could tell when I picked Callie up she had been loved and well cared for by Nola and her husband. I would highly recommend them as pet sitters!”
“Stephany and Jean were so great. Loving,compassionate,and caring. Both there children were so well behaved and loving with Panda-Quinn. She loved their big house and large fenced yard. She lives in an apartment. I had to go to a sleep study and Dr's appointments next day. They worked with my drop off and pick up hours. I will book with them again if needed. Please believe me I'm picky about my dog sitters. She loved her mini vacation. ❤️”
“Sarah is very dog and cat savvy. She is easy to work with, great communication, and has a peaceful home. This was perfect for my +12 year old Aussie. I appreciated the daily check inscand pictures and will look forward to bringing my boy back to visit the next time we need to travel.”
“Kailyn was awesome with my dogs!! They’ve been “hungover” all day after spending the weekend at her house! One became obsessed with one of her toys and she let him keep it! She is clearly a loving dog person and my dogs can’t wait for their next vacation!”
“Stephanie was wonderful, caring and professional! She gave Scooby and Roxie love and affection as soon as they met her. My wife and I were shown where the dogs would be boarded and the outside which was a large play area. We couldn’t be more satisfied knowing they would be safe and well taken care of. Can’t wait to use her services again!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Heidi is a wonderful caregiver to our two large dogs. One of our dogs is particularly high maintenance and Heidi went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for, comfortable and happy. We would 10/10 use her services again!”
“Jessica was very accommodating to Bella’s and my needs. She sent pics to let me know that Bella was doing fine, and didn’t have an issue with Bella being active around her young child. Would definitely book her again in the future! She’s awesome!”
“We had a last minute booking with Chris for an overnight stay. I could see right away that he loves animals! He was very communicative and sent several pictures, for which I was grateful.”
“Tina and Bill cared for my Little Buddy far beyond our hopes. Buddy had never stayed with anyone but his normal sitter, and when we had to make other plans, I was nervous. These wonderful people treated him just as if he were their own dog. They sent me daily pictures and I think he fell in love with Mrs Tina. I would highly recommend this fine couple if you need a sitter in the Spring Hill/ Brooksville area.....we will definitely use them again. Tina and Bill....thank you for being a part of Buddy's Florida adventure!”

“Katie was great! She looked after my 2 cats who are rather shy and grumpy and they were happy and content when we got home. She was super responsive and available for questions and extremely responsible. I got daily feedback and pictures and summaries which were really appreciated. I highly recommend Katie for pet sitting! Thank you Katie!!!”
“Sandy is Echo & Delgota's best friend. They actually waited for her to come at 4p.m. for the next 2 days after we returned home. We have no worries at all about the two cats when we leave home now, with Sandy as their caregiver, which means soooo very much to us. Thank you Sandy for the person you are, we all love you like family.”
“Corey was phenomenal with our cats! Provided excellent pictures and care and even went above and beyond when we were concerned for one of our cats who tends to hide all the time. Cannot recommend him enough and now we feel comfortable being able to leave our animals knowing that he’s caring for them. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Megan was wonderful. She was prompt and took the best care of my kitties. I was nervous using Rover but being new in town I had to trust my instincts. I am so glad I did. My kitties loved having Megan play with them each time she came. I will definitely contact Megan again to watch them.”
“Jamie was wonderful! My trip away was less stressful knowing that my three very spoiled kitties were being well cared for. She sent photos each visit and was easily reachable with texts. I will definitely be asking her to watch the kitty crew again!”

“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!”
“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 !”
“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: I rescued a Ferrell cat from the age of 6 months until the age of 18 She was aloof but responded well to love and affection af you we a short period of time. She was kept indoors with a litter box of fresh sod weekly to feel the safety of indoor living with a backyard feel
“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”
About: I've had cats most of my life and they hold a special place in my heart ❤️. We become friends very quickly, unless they are of the suspicious persuasion. They can take some extra effort! I will happily put in the effort because the rewards are sweet.

There are three fenced sections, separating small dogs from larger dogs. The shy or needy dogs from those with special needs.
“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.”
“Rox said to tell everyone that she had a very nice time at Katie’s. She loved playing with Katie’s pets and boarders. Rox also liked buddying up to Katie. She looks forward to another “play date” soon.”
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.
“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'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.
About: I have been working with dogs for about 9 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.I have experience giving medications and insulin shots. 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 dogs! 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 pool 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 2 dogs of my own that have been with me in many dog social situations and are accustomed to all types of friendly behavior from other pets and enjoy the company. My two year old basset is very very friendly and loves to play, the 5 year old beagle loves to run and be close to dogs but is more distant than the basset and just loves the company. I look forward to taking care of your pups! 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: Hi, I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs! I offer boarding, walking, and house-sitting, and specialize in everything from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve worked with repeat clients over the years and am comfortable handling structured routines, medication schedules, and special dietary needs. My late senior dog Jake, who passed in July 2021, taught me just how rewarding it is to give older pets the comfort and compassion they deserve. On the flip side, I’ve also fostered plenty of puppies, and currently have a 5 month old pup of my own named Spur! I know how important it is to keep them active, consistent, and safe as they grow. Cats are a big part of my care experience too – I’ve bottle-fed kittens and cared for elderly cats needing daily medications, ear drops, special foods, and that gentle, patient touch only a true cat person can give. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, a quiet cuddle session, or just keeping things calm and consistent while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I'm working from home with pet-sitting, photography, and marketing jobs! I am very flexible in terms of travel and overall availability. Early mornings, afternoons, nights - I'm your gal! I have a big yard with many in-ground leads for the dogs to play safely without escape! My other two (very kind) fur babies will keep them company while they're away from home. While we do have cats, they are very independent creatures and usually reside in one room of our home. Easy to shut off for those who don't love felines!
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.
“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!”
“This was Chloe's first day care with Laura. Laura was great. Chloe makes no secret about whether she likes a Rover or not. And this stay she was obviously happy with. We already have the next stay booked for the Memorial Day weekend. Thanks Laura!”
“Sheryl was fantastic with Ladybug! I didn't worry for a second, she is such a warm and welcoming person. Ladybug had three days of doggie daycare and when I dropped her off, it was clear that Ladybug enjoyed her time at Sheryl's house.”
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!!

“Sophia has been an excellent choice for me and Lucy. You can tell she loves dogs in how she talks to Lucy and rubs and scratches her. She comes on time and takes the full half hour and stays even longer to talk to her and me and rub her.

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 love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. 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.

About: I have had dogs most of my life and volunteered at a large shelter back in St. Louis for more than 10 yrs. I walked dogs, took them on enrichment trips, fostered them and helped at the shelter by just cleaning and doing laundry. I loved all the different dog personalities and tried to do anything that would make their life better. I would love to take care of dogs now that I'm retired and will also be volunteering at the local shelter here I'm retired and my dog recently passed so I'm craving dog time. With no dog i now have more time to dog walk I am available to dog sit or walk but live in a small rv so dog boarding might be tricky though I'm willing to try. I live in a dog friendly park that has a nice trail and isn't very crowded
About: I've been an enthusiastic lover of all sorts of animals. From the cute and cuddly dogs or cats to the sometimes considered less appealing reptiles and amphibians. I always have had a great low-key type of energy that some more anxious or skittish animals tend to be more receptive to. It helps im very patient and attentive to an animals needs. I, myself have owned Dogs, cats, small mammals and rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am very accommodating to any special care or attention a pet may need. Ive been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager and have never encountered an animal I wasnt able to care for responsibly and exceed expectations. I can look after larger dogs (100lbs+) as I am 6' with the strength to walk and play with them. I grew up with a 100lb German Shepard and owned a 100lb Rottweiler mix. No pet will deter me. On the flip side I also enjoy smaller dogs that want to be held and/or carried. As I've mentioned I'm an all around animal lover. I generally work 4p to midnight. With that said I have pretty good flexibility and can usually work from home. I ensure pets nourishment and care are well met. I treat the clients home with absolute respect, very tidy and maintain the home as if it were my own. Cleaning up after myself and leaving it in the best condition possible. Making sure the pets area is tidy after eating or playing, cleaning up any messes they may create.

Linda sent videos of her having the time of her life, running on the property and laying on a lounge chair by the pool, and getting attention from Linda and her husband in the house...

“Sarah is very dog and cat savvy. She is easy to work with, great communication, and has a peaceful home. This was perfect for my +12 year old Aussie. I appreciated the daily check inscand pictures and will look forward to bringing my boy back to visit the next time we need to travel.”
“Kailyn was awesome with my dogs!! They’ve been “hungover” all day after spending the weekend at her house! One became obsessed with one of her toys and she let him keep it! She is clearly a loving dog person and my dogs can’t wait for their next vacation!”
“Stephanie was wonderful, caring and professional! She gave Scooby and Roxie love and affection as soon as they met her. My wife and I were shown where the dogs would be boarded and the outside which was a large play area. We couldn’t be more satisfied knowing they would be safe and well taken care of. Can’t wait to use her services again!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Heidi is a wonderful caregiver to our two large dogs. One of our dogs is particularly high maintenance and Heidi went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for, comfortable and happy. We would 10/10 use her services again!”
“Brendalee and Ruben were so awesome! They took care of my active golden retriever and sent me pictures. I appreciate them for taking care of our fur baby while we traveled. 10/10! Definitely recommend.”
“Cesar is the best!!!! Finding someone I trust with my working dogs is no small task, so I don't give recommendations lightly. From the start, Cesar was incredibly accommodating and took the time to understand their routines, expectations, and care requirements. What impressed me most was that he struck the perfect balance between being kind and being consistent. Cesar didn't let them get away with their usual shenanigans, maintained their structure, and clearly understood how to handle dogs that are used to having jobs and boundaries. Throughout their stay, I received plenty of photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how much fun they were having. It was obvious they were getting both mental and physical enrichment, not just being watched. The biggest endorsement I can give is that I picked up two very happy, relaxed, and thoroughly worn-out dogs. They came home content, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. For anyone looking for a sitter who goes beyond basic pet care and truly understands dogs, especially working dogs, I would not hesitate to recommend Cesar.”
“Samantha was a great friend to my 3 dogs for an overnight stay! They had a great time, she kept me updated throughout the stay and had yummy treats to share with them! We our glad to have found our new sitter!”
“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”
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!
“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.”
About: As a devoted dog mom, I understand that pets are family. Caring for Molly and Thor every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive personalized care. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their furry family member is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under supervision. When a new dog arrives, I keep them separated from my own dogs at first so everyone has time to adjust comfortably. If all dogs are relaxed and interactions go well, I gradually introduce them in a safe, supervised way. If a dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep them separated throughout their stay. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and every dog is treated with patience, kindness, and love like family.
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
