“Dana was very loving and kind to our Cocker Spaniel. Her fenced in backyard was a perfect size for exploring, yet staying close to the house. I definitely will be coming back?”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“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.”
“Anas and Tate were so fantastic. We could tell they really loved our doggies. They sent lots of pics and videos. This was our first time using Rover and they made us feel so comfortable leaving the dogs. Would highly recommend them to anyone!!”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“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.”
“Alistair watched my pup Luna over the Thanksgiving week and he took wonderful care of her. He was extremely responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. She always looked happy and seemed to be getting lots of attention. He even gave her a bath before I picked her up and special fresh-food meals. He has outdoor kennels where the dogs spend time during the day, but they are spacious and have water, shelter, and bedding, so I had zero concerns with it (it's actually nice they get this outdoor time). He was also accommodating with my drop-off / pick-up times and the fact that Luna isn't fixed. Most importantly, Luna came home as the same happy and healthy girl she was when I dropped her off.”
About: Having a pet in our home for the last 20 years, I welcome yours to visit! We have a 14 year old son who loves to play with all dogs. I do work 8:00 AM -5:00 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends I am home most of the day. Our 4 legged family members are ready for playtime when I get home so thats what they get! We have a large privacy fenced back yard to keep your fur baby safe. I can kennel when I leave for work. We have a rose bushes in the yard but no other plants to worry about!
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Adam has friendly dogs that played with our Hayden.. We were updated with videos and pics several times a day. I think Hayden enjoyed himself as much as we did on our vacay”
“Kimberly took great care of my Pomeranian pooch, Amos! He had no anxiety being left behind, and she was prepared for his “maleness” with his tendency to mark his territory. She put a wrap on him to “keep it in!” Kimberly is now a new friend and I’m sure we will be a regular customer!”
“This was our second booking with Alejandra. She takes good care of my puppies, Ruxpin and Rebel, during their stay. I can go away with piece of mind knowing they are in good hands. Thank you again!”
“Paola was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my baby and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear my pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. When I got home, my dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Paola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Paola!”
“This was Mina’s first overnight stay away from home. Ana and her staff made it a very positive experience for Mina. I was impressed with the organization and commitment to quality care provided to our dog. Caregivers provided a warm caring environment and sent pictures and feedback during her stay. This eased my concerns for Mina during those days. The facilites are excellent. Mina got to play outdoors safely which she loves. Plenty of room to run around and enjoy the outdoor. Again, a big thank you to Ana and her team for a great stay.”
“Vanessa accepted my last minute request and was very responsive. I was unsure if my dog would get along with other dogs, but she made me feel at ease and reassured me that it would be fine. She sent me a couple of pics and a video of him playing. I would definitely bring my dog back again.”
“Amanda was awesome with my pups! When I reached out for an update on them I got pictures of them running in the yard. They were in high spirits when pickup time came- can’t thank Amanda enough for taking such good care of my babies🩷”
“Brenda took excellent care of Tiba! She sent many updates and was very attentive to all of my senior pup's needs. She was also very accommodating when I needed to change my booking.”

“Gracie did a wonderful job watching our 7 cats. Some of the cats loved to see people and some of them are very shy. We could tell by the photos we got ever day that she was trying to entice the shy ones out by moving their food bowels closer to where they like to hide. She kept the cat dishes and litter boxes clean and tidy. In addition, she brough in the mail and took out the garbage while we were away. We would highly recommend Gracie to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Deborah has been wonderful. This was her second time coming by my house, my cats love her, and I love the peace of mind in knowing they are cared for. One of my cats needs a pill and she handles that beautifully. She went above and beyond today and even brought in some Amazon packages that were sitting on my porch. She has been a blessing.”
“Kathryn is an excellent sitter! Our 2 cats have special needs with limited vision and one needs meds. Our kitties love her visits. Kathryn is also very flexible and answers messages promptly. Our return time was changed and Kathryn kindly changed our visit time to earlier in the day. We’ll rebook Kathryn again, most definitely! She’s awesome!”
“Very grateful of having Samantha as pet sitter! I left for the Holidays and she took care of my baby while I was gone. So thankful because she said yes even though it was during Christmas season. I left happy and with peace of mind knowing that my baby was taken care of by her. Excellent communication, lots of pictures, updates and going for the extra mile by taking care of my plants also. 100% recommended. For sure I’ll keep contacting her to take care of my two babies eventually.”
“Emily is the best ever!! I was out of town for a week and she came every day to see my two cats and she did so much for me! She fed them, played with them and helped with the litter and washing their food bowls. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She texts back right away if you need her and she will give your pets tons of attention. She is awesome!!”
About: Someone in my family always had a cat, and I always wanted to be friends because I could never have one. I learned the hard way very young that cat trust is hard earned. Once I was old enough, cats in need of homes fell into my lap and they have taught me more patience than I ever expected, especially when handling introducing new cats to established homes. From fighting flying fur bunnies, to combating the endless litter boxes, cats after surgeries and on meds, I’ve had a lot of experience helping cats feel their most comfortable.
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for years. I came from an animal-loving family, we got our first dog when I was 7, and now at home I have two cats and one dog of my own, so I understand how much routine and a calm, familiar presence matter to pets while their owner is away. I also consistently take care of my brother and sister-in-law's eight cats whenever they're on vacation, so multi-cat households and individual routines are second nature to me. Beyond my own household, I also volunteer with cat rescues. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every cat's home and routine with the same care I give my own.
“Kim is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy diabetic cat and in the first 15 minutes Muffinz warmed up to Kim enough to give her a headbump. ? She sent pictures & videos of our sweet girl during our trip as well. We definitely will be booking with Kim in the future!”
“Lindsay was amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our kitties with her. She went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! She kept us updated with pictures, and our babies had an amazing time with her two cats! We are so happy to have found such an amazing sitter near us.”
“She did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy during the drop in visits. She was attentive, followed all instructions and made sure my puppy was safe and well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend again”
“She was absolutely fantastic. Sent pictures, checked in regularly, she even did extras like brought in our empty trash can from the road and checked on our chickens. We may actually go on vacation more now that we know she’s an option for us!! Would book again 10/10”
“Morgan took excellent care of our pup Wiley for a whole month while we were away. So glad to have her care for our fur baby 😊 I highly recommend Morgan for anyone who needs someone to help care for their pets!”
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
About: I moved up to Gainesville with the goal of going to vet school back in 2013. I attended UF and shortly after, started to work for an animal hospital. It was that very first hospital where my cat obsession blossomed. I strayed away from the idea of vet school and instead caught the shelter bug. My passion is to rescue cats and bring awareness to these magical creatures. I have since started my own nonprofit dedicated to that passion. I would love to make sure that while cat parents are away, their loved ones are well cared for. Call me a crazy cat lady but I wear that badge with pride 🐈⬛🐈🐾✨
About: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.

“Dana is a lovely human being who “gets” dogs and has made her home into a place of comfort and flexibility in response to a dog’s needs. We looked a long time for a caretaker and place that our little Velcro pandemic pup responded to positively and are so happy to have found Dana.”
“Our boy, a five-month old Australian shepherd, loved his visit, made lots of new friends, and can't wait to go back. We had the confidence that he was safe and in good hands. Ana and her helpers were friendly, attentive to our dogs needs, and seem to thoroughly enjoy all their canine visitors.”
“Kimberly is amazing, super sweet easy to talk to! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful to have found Kimberly. My little Rosie stayed with her and loved it! Beautiful yard and home. So grateful to her for taking my girl in last minute! Would 1000% recommend.”

About: I have been a veterinary technician/nurse for the past 13 years. My whole life is dedicated to animals and providing them compassionate care. I have worked in a general practice for the last 13 years working with companion animals (cats and dogs) but I have grown up with birds, ferrets, fish, turtles and hamsters. I also have a degree in agriculture and have cared for livestock. I truly love all animals and will always take care of each individual pet as if they were my own. I have a team of veterinary professionals that I can reach out to if there was ever an animal emergency or guidance needed. My goal is to make sure that while the pet parent is away, their loved ones are well cared for! Pet care is a daily staple for me: my job is very flexible and I am able to move my job around to tend to the needs of the pets I am caring for. Whether that’s me coming home on a regular basis or stopping by your home to a similar routine of your own. My goal is to achieve the same routine you would have while you’re home to give your loved ones the stable routine they’re used too! In home: I have property where I can take the dogs out on long walks and can play with them with a great deal of space. They will always have access to water and will feed them according to their set schedules. I have space for crates if your pets do better crated while inside and if I’m away. They will be smothered with cuddles and treats if I’m able to. Clients Home: I will make sure to adhere to the routine you have already established at home, whether that’s long walks or playing in the backyard. Stick to the feeding schedule and ensure they are stress free while you’re away.
“Crystal was very sweet with Aiden and great with keeping us updated. Beautiful home with lots of room to run around! It was great knowing our pup was with someone we could trust as we spent the day on the river!”
“Brenda and her mom took great care of my little boy for the day while I took care of some appointments. He had their company as well as their dog Scooby's. He came home happy and relaxed, and I'm happy to have found a great fit for daycare for my dog with isolation anxiety.”
“Alejandra took excellent care of our dog while we paddled at Ichetucknee springs. Our girl is shy of other dogs, and Alejandra made sure she had her own comfortable space. Highly recommend.”
“This is Alexander and Josephine’s second time watching Merlin and I am so appreciative of them. They allowed me to drop him off relatively early in the morning, sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, and made sure he was fed before I picked him up. Merlin absolutely loves staying with them, as evident by his whining and excitement when we arrived outside their home. Whenever they’re available, they are my #1 choice for watching Merlin.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters I’m retired from the USAF and am home 90+% of the day. I run a few errands sometimes and an hour at gym but my personalized, attentive approach to every pet’s unique needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic youngsters to senior pets requiring gentle care and medication management. I focus on creating an stress-free, loving environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s extra playtime, special diets, or senior support, I tailor every visit to your pet’s comfort and routine. Your pet gets extra attention and care when you choose my services. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize each visit with care, making sure every pet receives consistent attention, love, and companionship.

About: Pet Care Experience I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention, I provide reliable, safe, and loving care. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, just like they would at home. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion and consistency. I’m attentive to special needs—whether that’s administering medications, helping senior pets move comfortably, or giving puppies the training and structure they need. My focus is on building trust, creating a stress-free environment, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care on a part-time basis, mainly during weekends and weekday evenings. This schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet.

About: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).
About: Calm, attentive care tailored to your pet. ☀️ Summer Safety Advisory ☀️ Due to Florida’s extreme heat and humidity, dogs are at serious risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke in as little as 10–15 minutes of exertion during peak sun hours. Because of this, all walks during late spring through early fall may be shortened or adjusted for safety and replaced with enrichment-based activities, shaded sniff time, or indoor play when appropriate. Your dog’s health and comfort always come first. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I provide thoughtful, enrichment-focused care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is not just to “get through” a visit, but to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a background in wildlife sanctuary rehabilitation and have served as an adoptions director, which means I’ve worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications ( just not injections), managing multi-pet households, and supporting shy, anxious, senior, or special-needs pets. My approach to pet care is informed by ongoing education in dog behavior, body language, and force-free, reward-based training. I pay close attention to stress signals, pacing, and environment, and I adjust each visit accordingly. Whether your dog needs structured activity, calm companionship, or space to decompress, I aim to meet them where they are. 🦴 Bonus Enrichment Option I also manage one of Gainesville’s top-rated private Sniffspots, The Zoomie Zone, located in Midtown. This fully private, reservation-only yard is ideal for dogs who benefit from off-leash play without the pressure of public dog parks. Many clients choose to incorporate Sniffspot visits into walks or drop-ins as a way to provide safe zoomies, sniff-based enrichment, or low-distraction decompression time. If you’re interested in adding a Sniffspot visit to your booking, feel free to ask. Returning clients can also receive discount codes for independent bookings. Whether we’re heading out for a structured walk, enjoying shaded sniff time, or keeping things low-key indoors, I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care you can trust. 🗓️ Scheduling and booking process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will be provided and gives us a chance to review your pet’s routine, home setup, safety needs, and comfort level. **Meet and greet exceptions:** * Cats do not require a meet and greet unless there are medications, behavioral concerns, or a complicated home setup * Puppies under five months may be booked without a meet and greet when appropriate * Returning clients may fast-track future bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested service so we have enough time to coordinate properly. After the initial meet and greet, you are all set for future bookings. If you move to a new home or apartment, you are welcome to schedule another visit so I can become familiar with the new layout, entry instructions, and pet-care setup. 🚶♀️ Dog walks and drop-ins I organize dog walks and cat drop-ins into efficient daily routes using flexible arrival windows. This helps reduce unnecessary travel time while still allowing me to provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. Dog-care windows: * Standard visits generally take place between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM * Evening visits may be available for dogs who need additional flexibility **Cat-care windows:** * My preferred cat visit window is between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Visits requiring medication or strict timing will be scheduled around those needs whenever possible Dogs are generally prioritized earlier because of restroom needs, but every pet receives the same level of care, attention, and communication. 🐾 Premium boarding Boarding is a high-touch, in-home service for clients who want a fully hands-off experience while their dog is away. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walking, drop-in, or daycare relationship with me. This helps ensure your dog is already comfortable with me, my home, my routine, and my resident pets before an overnight stay. While boarding with me, your dog will: * Live inside my home as part of the household * Be my only boarding guest and receive individualized attention * Receive daily enrichment, engagement, and structured downtime * Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression * Follow a routine tailored to their age, energy level, temperament, and physical needs Enrichment may include: * Frozen meals or food puzzles using West Paw Toppls * Sniff-based games, treat hunts, and low-pressure training activities * Nature walks or hikes at San Felasco when weather permits * Visits to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present * Indoor play and low-impact enrichment during extreme heat or storms Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and very ready for a nap. 🚨 Boarding behavior and safety expectations The safety and comfort of my resident pets are a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be safe around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. Dogs showing aggression, predatory behavior, severe resource guarding, or repeated unsafe behavior toward resident animals may not be eligible for boarding. If a boarding stay must be ended for safety reasons, care may be converted to drop-in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship whenever possible. 🚗 Premium pick-up and drop-off For added convenience, I offer pet transportation as an optional add-on. I can personally pick up or return your dog along my existing daily route, allowing you to leave your dog comfortably at home without coordinating an in-person handoff. This service is priced accordingly to reflect the additional time, travel, and personalized care involved. ⛔ Important booking policies * One complimentary meet and greet is included for new clients * Additional meetings should be booked as a walk or drop-in to cover time and travel * Every pet receiving care must be listed on the Rover booking * Bookings should be confirmed within 48 hours of the meet and greet or the requested time may be released * House-sitting and drop-in bookings follow a seven-day cancellation policy * Availability is not guaranteed until a booking has been formally confirmed by you. through Rover. If you have questions, a complicated schedule, or a pet with unusual care needs, I am always happy to talk through the details before booking. Care philosophy and communication: In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect, attention, and consideration I give my own. I understand that every pet has an individual personality and different needs. Some thrive on companionship, while others prefer play, structure, quiet encouragement, or simply having a calm person nearby. My goal is to be a steady, reassuring presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their own home or taking them on an enrichment field trip to The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed Rover Card with notes about meals, potty breaks, mood, activities, and anything noteworthy from our time together. If your pet gives me an especially great photo opportunity, I may also send along a favorite edited image. Unless something genuinely requires your attention, I will not interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. My goal is to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. 🚨 Safety and stress policy Safety is always my top priority, both for your pet and for me. If a pet displays aggression, extreme fear, severe anxiety, or behavior that makes a visit unsafe, I will still make every reasonable effort to ensure their essential needs are met, including food, water, medication when safely possible, and potty access. However, I may modify or shorten the visit if continuing would increase stress or create a risk of injury. This is never done as punishment. It is a safety decision intended to prevent escalation and protect everyone involved. Any significant concerns will be clearly documented and communicated to you. 🛏️ Crate or confinement requirement for boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable resting safely in a crate, exercise pen, gated room, or behind another secure household barrier. This is a firm boarding requirement. At night, during meals when separation is needed, and anytime dogs cannot be directly supervised, boarding guests will be safely confined. This gives every animal appropriate space to rest and ensures all pets remain secure while I am sleeping, showering, completing household tasks, or briefly away from home. Crates and gated spaces are always used as calm, neutral resting areas, never as punishment. If your dog normally uses a crate, pen, gated room, or another confinement routine at home, please share the details with me so I can keep their stay as familiar and low-stress as possible. Dogs do not need to love being crated, but they must be able to tolerate safe confinement without panicking, attempting to escape, or injuring themselves. If your dog is not currently comfortable with any form of secure separation, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. In that case, drop-in care in their own home may be a safer and more comfortable alternative. This is non-negotiable.

I have fed and taken the dogs out for walks/potty breaks. I also would play with the dogs and make sure they’re getting the proper fun and exercise that they need.
“I could tell Bella was comfortable with Paola. I know It’s not easy trusting someone with our furry baby. I recommend Paola to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“What a pleasure it was meeting with Jing this morning. She was friendly, professional and Colin my dog immediately liked her!

“Emma was awesome!! She was on time and sent lots of pics of our doggie. She definitely made it easier for us on vacation. We were kind of nervous because our dog likes to jump but she did an amazing job!!!”
About: Kim's Sit & Stay Inn No, that's not really the name...but it may as well be! FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE! PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED!! I am happy to work with you because I would want the same for my dogs. Hey there! I'm a MASSIVE animal lover that graduated from the Zoo program at Santa Fe College, and I am currently working full time on Rover. I'm here for your last minute needs! Big pups, small pups, I love them all. My husband and daughter are very involved as well so your fur baby basically gains an extended family when they stay with us. <3 <3 <3 I have a big back yard, comfy couch, and a 17 year old teen who also loves animals- so your pup will never be lonely. I am available 24/7 via text message, and other apps. (Limited cell service though so calling is limited. ) I have 4 indoor cats as well, but they have their own space (bedroom) and prefer to hide out there if there are any 4 legged visitors. I live on 1 acre in Alachua, Florida and about half of that is fenced, so we have a fully fenced back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I'm also close to the I-75 interstate. I take my job very seriously and understand how stressful it can be to have to leave your pets with a stranger. I always recommend a meet and greet first before booking with me, but sometimes things are last minute and that's okay too. Hope to hear from you soon, have a nice day! 👍🏻 I am home all day, as this is my primary income. My husband works during the day. I can give your pups the attention they need, or space if necessary. I have a large yard and can take them out as often as needed. I allow pets on my furniture, and all my other doors in the house stay shut at all times. All pets are fed separately from each other so there is no food aggression.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats (small and large, often multiple at once), and animals tend to connect with me easily. For over 10 years I rescued and fostered cats and kittens, and along the way I also cared for a boa, several birds, a hedgehog, and mice. I’m comfortable and genuinely happy caring for all kinds of animals with patience, love, and respect. At home, I have two cats of my own, Juno (4) and Vesta (3). Vesta needs daily eye drops, so I’m well-practiced in medication administration and comfortable with pets who need a little extra care. I offer drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — consistent routines, lots of affection, and close attention to their needs. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I’m available full-time, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, pet care fits easily into my flexible daily routine. At home I have two cats, Juno and Vesta, both comfortable around visiting pets. I’m experienced with medication administration (Vesta gets daily eye drops), dog walking and will keep a calm, clean, attentive environment for every animal in my care.
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 love dogs and having one of my very own whom I adore more than ever, I can assure you your furry friends will be safe, well cared for, and without a doubt will love me! I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, and cared for litters of puppies as well. I am a college student. I'm looking forward to earning extra money between classes and spending lots of time with your fur babies. I love animals and so excited to help people take care of their pets. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routine the owner has for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I always make sure they’ve got fresh water, clean bowls, and a comfy space. I clean up any messes, take care of the home while I’m there, and make sure their pet feels safe and relaxed. I also send photo or text updates so the owner knows how things are going.
About: Aloha, I'm Anna Lyra 😊 I've connected deeply with animals my whole life, and began caring for them around age 11. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a great love for all creatures. Cats are my specialty, though my skills are also effective with dogs and all kinds of other animals. I am a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. My cats remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I practice Reiki (energy healing) that is very effective with animals. For now, I'm offering my Reiki treatments for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits, House Sitting, or Dog Walking). I also have experience with animal hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a 21+ year old cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 So I've been doing animal care for a long time with shining 5 star reviews, I'm just new to Rover ✨ I'm self-employed with a flexible schedule. I can work with you to sculpt the ideal care that your pet(s) needs. Reach out to discuss possibilities! 🦮🐈🦜🐇🐠🐍🐎🐁🐐🐓🐄🦆🦎🐑🐖🫏 My pets and my client's pets are a top priority and I take it very seriously. My own cats benefit from the highest quality food, attention, and environment. I am highly attuned to their needs & emotions, providing gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. While I specialize in Cat Whispering, my care for all animals goes above and beyond! I treat others as I want to be treated: with honesty, safety, and high quality care wrapped in positive & loving energy 💟
About: I share my home with 1 elderly cat and a young shihtzu. I love animals of any kind, and have been lucky enough to have several throughout my life, including exotic animals. I board cats only (due to my cat's preference), but I am happy to take your dog for a walk! I have experience with pets who have dietary limitations, are anxious or scared, and mature animals who need special care. Feel free to reach out if you have questions! I care for my own pets daily and they are home with me while I work. If I'm boarding your cat they will be treated with the same care and love. My home is safe and clean. I keep my cats indoors at all times. I have years of experience with cats and I am a proud cat lady😻
About: Hi🙂 Thanks for stopping by my page. Fun fact: If I could I would adopt and save as many dogs as I could fit in my home but unfortunately my husband said 2 is good for now😂 I have always felt passionate about animals especially pups. I love the idea of being able to turn my passion for caring for pups into a full time gig for myself, it’s truly a dream. I have over 10 years of experience with various of breeds and know how to care for them. I rescued Milo(dachshund beagle) my first baby back in 2014 and his sweet Sister, Layla (Rottweiler) back in 2016. They truly are the perfect pair and love having fur guests over. They are very social and playful with other pups. My main objective is to ensure your babies feel at home while away from their love ones and ensure to keep my clients at ease when booking with me. I know the importance of a clean and safe environment for our guest. I also have experience with the older pups and or the ones that require a strict schedule with medications and other medical needs. I’m proud to have multiple repeat clients and I appreciate the loyalty and trust that comes with boarding with a sitter. I have been boarding for over 6 years in the city and I’m excited to build my new clientele in the country here, back in my hometown 🤍 Feel free to reach out and request a meet and greet. I work from home and love being able to be home with my little ones and pups. It's so refreshing to meet clients and hang out with cute new pups on the daily basis. I'm a home body and love to be able to hangout in our large nice backyard. I have a nice fenced back yard that is perfect for pups to burn some energy and play. Both my dogs are very social and trained and love being able to keep the fur crew entertained and happy. We truly love hosting and ensuring our guest feel comfortable and safe.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️
About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
“Amber has been a great help walking and giving our Bearded collie Colin sweet attention. She is dependable, kind and Colin looks forward to her visits! Thanks to Amber I can return to work and know Colin has had high activity/loving attention! Carolyn Ascencios 😊”
About: I’ve loved animals since being a kid, I have experience with all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, turtles, fish, birds, other reptiles and more. I’ve personally do not have dogs of my own as of right now, I have a little turtle, a cat, and a fish since I’m in school and cannot pay for a bigger pet :(. I can walk, pet sit, bathe them, take them to them vet, feed them and more. So if you have more than one pet or any kinds of pet I’m more than willing to fit your schedule so I can be there when you can’t, I will also send you funny pictures of your pets. PLEASE NOTE: If you have more than one pet, one will have to be booked under a Standard Rate, all other pets can be an Additional or Extended rate, thank you 😊 I’m currently a part-time student so I basically always have time and what better way to spend it than with a bunch of pets! If you go out for the week and need someone check up on your pets, I’m your girl! I promise to always handle your pets with care and to make sure that your pets needs are always fullfilled and they are comfortable while you are not there. If they have any special needs or certain things that they require, please let me know and I would be more than happy to do anything your pet needs or that you need for your pet.
About: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.

“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“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.”
“Anas and Tate were so fantastic. We could tell they really loved our doggies. They sent lots of pics and videos. This was our first time using Rover and they made us feel so comfortable leaving the dogs. Would highly recommend them to anyone!!”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“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.”
“Alistair watched my pup Luna over the Thanksgiving week and he took wonderful care of her. He was extremely responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. She always looked happy and seemed to be getting lots of attention. He even gave her a bath before I picked her up and special fresh-food meals. He has outdoor kennels where the dogs spend time during the day, but they are spacious and have water, shelter, and bedding, so I had zero concerns with it (it's actually nice they get this outdoor time). He was also accommodating with my drop-off / pick-up times and the fact that Luna isn't fixed. Most importantly, Luna came home as the same happy and healthy girl she was when I dropped her off.”
About: Having a pet in our home for the last 20 years, I welcome yours to visit! We have a 14 year old son who loves to play with all dogs. I do work 8:00 AM -5:00 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends I am home most of the day. Our 4 legged family members are ready for playtime when I get home so thats what they get! We have a large privacy fenced back yard to keep your fur baby safe. I can kennel when I leave for work. We have a rose bushes in the yard but no other plants to worry about!
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Kimberly took great care of my Pomeranian pooch, Amos! He had no anxiety being left behind, and she was prepared for his “maleness” with his tendency to mark his territory. She put a wrap on him to “keep it in!” Kimberly is now a new friend and I’m sure we will be a regular customer!”
“This was our second booking with Alejandra. She takes good care of my puppies, Ruxpin and Rebel, during their stay. I can go away with piece of mind knowing they are in good hands. Thank you again!”
“Paola was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my baby and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear my pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. When I got home, my dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Paola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Paola!”
“This was Mina’s first overnight stay away from home. Ana and her staff made it a very positive experience for Mina. I was impressed with the organization and commitment to quality care provided to our dog. Caregivers provided a warm caring environment and sent pictures and feedback during her stay. This eased my concerns for Mina during those days. The facilites are excellent. Mina got to play outdoors safely which she loves. Plenty of room to run around and enjoy the outdoor. Again, a big thank you to Ana and her team for a great stay.”
“Vanessa accepted my last minute request and was very responsive. I was unsure if my dog would get along with other dogs, but she made me feel at ease and reassured me that it would be fine. She sent me a couple of pics and a video of him playing. I would definitely bring my dog back again.”
“Amanda was awesome with my pups! When I reached out for an update on them I got pictures of them running in the yard. They were in high spirits when pickup time came- can’t thank Amanda enough for taking such good care of my babies🩷”
“Wilhelmina was absolutely wonderful with Cleo - thank you for taking such good care of her and giving me updates throughout the trip! Would definitely book with you again in the future 😊”
“Lucky had an absolutely blast with Terra and her doggy crew when he was with them for a whole week! Lucky loved running around with other dogs and he was able to do just that in Terra’s HUGEEEE yard! Terra sent daily photo/video updates and they made us smile everyday on our trip 🥰 Thank you so much for taking care of our baby the same way we do, we can’t wait for his new sibling to arrive and they can both play in Terra’s yard again!”
