Personalized care for your dog or cat - Holder
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Holder
“Another great experience with Linda and Ron!! They are absolutely the best and most kind people. They send us multiple updates with photos throughout the day which makes me and my SO at ease when we're away. Our pup Winnie loves them so much so we definitely recommend having them take care of your pup as well. We will try to book with Linda and Ron whenever we need to!”
“I have an older dog that is set in her ways and had never been away from home. She stayed with Nola for 2 weeks and came home happy. Nola was wonderful. Sent us pictures every couple of days. I would highly recommend her.”
“This is the second time I have used Stephany and Jean to keep my sweet baby girl. The send me pics and text plus we got a video this time. I am going to continue to use them when ever we go on trips. Thank you so much.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elisa while she cared for our dog, Lia. This was our first time using Elisa’s services, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that Lia was in great hands. Throughout Lia’s stay, Elisa kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how well Lia was doing. She was also very attentive to Lia’s eating habits and took the time to ensure she ate her full meals, something we truly appreciated. Elisa’s care, communication, and genuine attention to Lia’s needs exceeded our expectations. We can honestly say that we will be bringing Lia back to Elisa in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“My girls were well taken care of with Katie. They came home happy and exhausted, slept most of the day they came back. She provided plenty of updates while I was away and gave them tons of love!”
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“Dawn is an amazing resource, and a loving dog-sitter! The best compliment I could possibly give is that I never once worried about how my pups were doing, being with her. I KNEW they were in great hands, while my family and I were out of state.”
“My sister lives in the area but is not a dog lover so I needed to find someone to take care of my 5 year old Bichon. I read the feedback for all of the Pet Sitters and Laura stood out since she had had many repeat customers saying nice things about her mannerism with dogs. So, we took a chance and had Teddy boarded with her. She was FABULOUS! Every day, I got several pictures showing what fun Teddy was having at her house, with her dogs and taking walks around the neighborhood. I felt very at ease knowing Teddy was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Laura again the next time I am in Palm Beach Gardens. She is terrific!! Thank You from Teddy and me!”
“Erica was great. Our puppies had so much fun. Loved getting the pics and messages about how the dogs were doing while we were away. We'll use Erica again in the future.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Cody as my sitter. From the start, he was responsive and reassuring. During the stay, he sent frequent updates complete with adorable photos, which made a huge difference in calming my nerves about leaving my pet behind. Everything went smoothly, and my Haitta was clearly comfortable and loved. Cody is reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll be rebooking with him for sure on my next getaway!”
“This is the first time I used Rover and i was so happy with the care Heidi provided to my dogs. She was very accommodating and was always available for any short changes. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Absolutely great service from the moment we dropped off our dog to the moment we got him back! They sent us photos throughout the few days he was with them and he certainly looked like he was having a great time. I would 100% recommend and will be leaving Cash with them 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!”
“Laquitta and James were wonderful taking care of our Duncan. They kept us posted with frequent texts and pictures of our dog enjoying their company. We highly recommend their services.”

“Joe was really great! He showed up on time and went above and beyond in walking our dogs and caring for them. He was very friendly also! We will definitely use him again! Thank you, Joe!!”
“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”
“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!”
“Corey did a great job caring for my 3 occasionally behaved dogs and making them feel comfortable. He is very responsive and gives great updates. I would 100% hire him again in the future”
“Julie was fabulous and went above and beyond for my two cats. Really grateful to have found her to care for my pets while I was out of town for a week. My cats are typical cats but were happy and litter boxes were clean when I got home. Thanks again Julie!”
“Naomi took wonderful care of my young cat, Daisy. Each day she sent us updates and photos, which we very much appreciated. It’s stressful leaving our fur kids behind. Naomi and her family put all our concerns to rest. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch Daisy again!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they receive patient, gentle care while you’re away. I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer oral medications if needed, offer playtime or cuddles (if they want them!), and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return.
About: I have had dogs and cats the majority of my life, as well as livestock throughout high school. In high school I also participated in a veterinary program for 4 years where I learned about animal health, signs of illness, how to administer medication, animal behavior, basic grooming, training techniques and more. I apply this information to pets that I care for as needed so they can receive the best care for their individual personalities and needs. Your pets social and physical needs being met to the fullest extent is very important to me, they will be treated with kindness, love and understanding. I am comfortable using the tools your dog is familiar with for walks including but not limited to: Gentle leaders or other head halters, prong collars, flat collars, harnesses, e collars. I have daily availability to provide walks or drop in care for your pet! Due to rental rules I am unable to take animals back to my own home for any duration of time. While I am currently unable to provide care in my own home I strive to provide your pet with meaningful interaction in the comfort of their familiar environment. If your pet loves fetch, we can play! If your pet isn’t a fetch fan we can interact on walks or in your home and yard focused on games and activities that they find fulfilling.
“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!”
“Jamie agreed to watch our babies after the previous sitter could not accommodate us for our short trip to see our sailor come back into port. She arrived on time, changed her drop-in time on the second day when our plans changed and provided excellent pictures and communication, to include an issue unknown to us, which we’ve been dealing with since returning. She followed our detailed instructions, to the letter and gave medication to our twenty year old princess. We highly recommend her services. Thank you Jamie!”
About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.
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.
“Sonia was great as always! She did excellent with our cat. We left for a longer weekend trip and our cat was well taken care of. Will continue to use Sonia because she’s excellent! Thank you again!”
About: Just an all around animal lover! Patient, understanding and will lead with confidence so your dogs feel structured and safe. You can be at ease knowing that safety for your pet is my highest priority and I will treat them as my own! I work online from home and set my own schedule so I am available all week. I am available to walk your neighborhood, my neighborhood is great or I love to walk trails and beach :) I develop a relationship with each dog based on trust and an understanding of their individuality and personality. I allow dogs to be dogs within the realm of what is appropriate and they seem to appreciate my confident and casual style of leadership.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable with all dog breeds. I can also take care of more than just dogs and cats—I have experience with ferrets, birds, snakes, large lizards, and small animals/rodents. If you have other pets, that’s totally okay! I love making sure dogs get plenty of outdoor time, and if yours is high-energy, I’ll keep them busy and entertained 😊 I work Monday–Friday and usually get off around 4:30 PM, but I keep my weekends open for bookings. I’m available after 4:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I work until 9:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m fully available on weekends. I know your pets miss you when you’re away, so I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I have five dogs of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll treat yours like part of the family.
“Jessica did an incredible job watching our cats and keeping our house in shape! When we take trips, our cats tend to decimate everything and it was great to know Jessica was not only easing our worry, but keeping our cats safe and entertained!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Holder
“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'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.
“Dawn was able to accommodate our very last minute request to watch our puppy while we went tubing at Rainbow Springs State Park. She was very responsive and was willing to watch our puppy longer than our booked time, since we were delayed by weather in the area. She made our anniversary trip down the river possible. We are thankful to Dawn and her children for caring for our puppy.”
About: I have been working with dogs for about 8 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. 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 furry friends! 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 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 3 dogs of my own that have been with me in the kennels and doggie daycare so they are very well versed on all types of behavior from other pets and are tolerant and love the company. 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.
“I highly recommend Jessica's lovely family! My dog stayed with Jessica while I was on the tour at crystal river. When I need sitter service near the crystal river area, I definitely contact Jessica again. Thank you for taking care of my dog!”
“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!”

“Nola and Rick took our 2 dogs into daycare as a short notice booking. Both dogs enjoyed spending 2 days with them. I would definitely use these 2 again in any future visits.”
“Katie is amazing!! She's clearly knows what she's doing and cares a lot about every dog that comes through her front door. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My pet comes home happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I hesitate to leave a great review for Sarah, because she may not be able to take care of my Lexi dog, from being too busy, but to be honest I couldn't be more happy with the way she takes care of her, very happy with the service.”
About: I've always had a passion for animals my whole life. When i was 13-14 i volunteered at a petting zoo with all sorts of animals even dogs.I also use to pet sit for family friends quite a lot. I currently work at a boarding/daycare facility where we tend to all of their different needs. I'm currently traveling with my boyfriend for his work, so anytime i have a booking on here i will be home the entire time. Other then that i would be doing door dash/spark driver but id much rather pet sit to continue doing what i love. Anything involved with animals. Have 100% attention towards them. Take them out to run and play atleast ever 1-2 hours (more of course if their outside loving dogs). Making sure their eating as they should be and drinking plenty of water.
“What a wonderful first Rover experience! We needed a last minute sitter (and I have honestly never used a sitter for a dog before, but our sweet boy’s anxiety has become problematic for leaving him home alone for any length of time). I reached out to Candace, and she responded immediately. She and her husband were so kind and welcoming, and put me and Reggie at ease. On pickup, Candace provided a very thorough description of Reg’s visit at her home, so I am confident that he had a great day. It was great to be able to relax and know that my buddy was in good hands!”
“We highly recommend Kailyn! She took excellent care of our two dogs. She is friendly and reliable and our dogs were excited to see her the next time she took care of them. So, we all like her!”
“Stephany was great with our Ace. It was our first time leaving him with a sitter and she made sure to keep us updated on his day. She even provided pictures. I will definitely recommend that you book with her and I will be booking with her in the near future.”
About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.
“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!”
About: Why is my price so competitive? I keep my rates lower because inflation has pushed pet‑service costs to levels that no longer make sense for everyday pet owners. Many boarding facilities now charge prices that rival or even exceed the cost of an Airbnb, which I believe is unreasonable. My pricing reflects a commitment to fairness—quality pet lodging shouldn’t break your travel budget. Working remotely allows me to attend to you pets at the highest level with frequent breaks to go outside and stretch, run, and play! I look forward to having a co-worker snoozing next to me. Having a one acre FENCED yard will be your dogs dream. They will always be constantly monitored when they are outside exploring, sniffing and urinating on everything. I live in a low density neighborhood. The traffic is usually 1-2 cars per hour on my street.

“They were incredibly kind and wonderful with our Golden Retriever! They always make sure he gets plenty of exercise with walks that leave him happily tired, and he absolutely adores spending time with them. We’ve booked with them multiple times and always feel confident knowing our pup is in such great hands.”

I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.

About: Animal care for years!! Working at an animal shelter, as an animal control officer and as a vet assistant. Super passionate and comfortable working with and caring for all kinds of domestic pets. My schedule is a bit flexible. Especially on weekends so I am able to walk, hang out and play with furry friends! Can stop in a couple of times a day during the week. I can either walk the dogs or let them play in the yard, whichever you prefer. Hang out with and spend time with them indoors or out.

“Jasmine is great with my puppy! She understands that he is still learning and makes sure to continue his training. Very knowledgeable about all dogs and is attentive to his needs. I love that she keeps his safety and happiness the top priority. I definitely recommend Jasmine for your pet care needs!”
About: Hi there! My name is Zach. Recently moved to the Citrus County area! As a kid I grew up with a hyper-active Labrador that was always on the move, but I now have a cuddly American Staffordshire Terrier who's a little clumsy at times! Despite being a bit of a gamer I do like going to the gym and staying active, perhaps your pets can help with that?! Due to the recent pandemic my schedule is relatively open and flexible for the time being! If you have any questions about me or the services I offer feel free to ask at any time, I would be more than happy to talk! I look forward to becoming your pets next best friend! Thanks for choosing me!
About: I am a former dog owner and lover who sadly lost her fur baby Dexter to an illness. I love and value animal life and care. Pets deserve love and attention and someone with the energy to give it to them when mommy and daddy are busy doing life or just tired from a long day of work! I have 4+ years experience caring for dogs including a dog with moderate to severe seizures. I have experience administering medication and calming nervous dogs. What sets me a part is that I am a stay at home mom which means your pet is not competing with any other work stresses and will get the love, care, and attention needed! I know how it is to have the fear of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. Will they ignore him? Feed him? Play with him? Take him out to use the restroom? Snuggle him? Lose their patience with him? I know the feeling! Your baby will be my baby while under my care. Go to work or get away with peace of mind knowing your pet is safe!
About: I have had pets since I was 10, Dogs and cats primarily but also have had horses, chickens, rabbits, and I have volunteered with cat shelters on and off for the last several years. My daughters will be with me for walks and drop ins so please be aware of this and let us know if your animal does not do well with kids and I will arrange for no children to be with me! Thank you. Naomi is a stay at home mom and Coy works during the day and we were looking for something we could do as a family in the afternoon and evening time that we both enjoy! For walk clients we will walk and give lots of love to your pet and for drop ins we will give food, let your pet out or clean cat boxes, if your pet left a mess at all it will be cleaned and you will be notified and of course, if your pet allows, lots of love!
About: Your pet's safety is my number one priority. My trained service dog accompanies me to all services and meet-and-greets. Off-Leash Interactions: For safety during playtime interactions between your dog and my service dog, I will remove all dog collars to prevent entanglement. On-Leash Walks: When walking your dog, they will be leashed and collared or harnessed at all times using your equipment. Separation if Needed: I will provide all necessary equipment for my service dog, including a crate or playpen to separate the dogs if needed, ensuring a comfortable space for everyone. Open Communication: We will discuss your pet's needs and how they interact with other animals during our initial consultation. About Me My love for dogs began when I was 10, and my experience has grown ever since. As a blind handler of a service dog since 2018, I have a deep understanding of attentive, specialized pet care. I specialize in house-sitting, offering full-time, 24-hour presence for your pets with only rare, short exceptions where I may be away for up to two hours. This ensures your pets receive consistent companionship in the comfort of their own home. I am also experienced with occasional dog walking and drop-in visits for pets of all ages. My Availability: I have a flexible schedule since this is my job. Your Pet will be the only one in my care along with my service dog. . Your pet's safety is my number one priority. My trained service dog accompanies me to all services and meet-and-greets. Off-Leash Interactions: For safety during playtime interactions between your dog and my service dog, I will remove all dog collars to prevent entanglement. On-Leash Walks: When walking your dog, they will be leashed and collared or harnessed at all times using your equipment. Separation if Needed: I will provide all necessary equipment for my service dog, including a crate or playpen to separate my service dog if needed, ensuring a comfortable space for everyone.

“Another great experience with Linda and Ron!! They are absolutely the best and most kind people. They send us multiple updates with photos throughout the day which makes me and my SO at ease when we're away. Our pup Winnie loves them so much so we definitely recommend having them take care of your pup as well. We will try to book with Linda and Ron whenever we need to!”
“My girls were well taken care of with Katie. They came home happy and exhausted, slept most of the day they came back. She provided plenty of updates while I was away and gave them tons of love!”
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“Dawn is an amazing resource, and a loving dog-sitter! The best compliment I could possibly give is that I never once worried about how my pups were doing, being with her. I KNEW they were in great hands, while my family and I were out of state.”
“Erica was great. Our puppies had so much fun. Loved getting the pics and messages about how the dogs were doing while we were away. We'll use Erica again in the future.”
“This is the first time I used Rover and i was so happy with the care Heidi provided to my dogs. She was very accommodating and was always available for any short changes. I would definitely recommend her.”

Please save me from owning too many dogs by allowing me to invite your pup(s) into my home! I am retired and I do volunteer work, about 10 hours a week. I have a senior dog who requires eye drops and a special diet. In addition my youngster dachshund has completed puppy training, house training and socialization. She loves to play, if you have a puppy, my home is puppy proof and I will help you work on housebreaking. I have a large home with a fenced yard. I have two well socialized and pet friendly dogs.

About: I have always had pets, from small dogs and cats to big guardian dog breeds. I've also dealt with puppies, senior dogs, or pets with special health needs. I provide dependable, personalized care because I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can have peace of mind. I take the time to get to know each pet, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy's play schedule, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or helping shy or anxious animals feel comfortable at their own pace. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. Whether we're going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll treat them with the same care, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. My focus is on creating a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. My schedule is flexible for walks and feedings if necessary. My schedule is completely open if extended time is needed for longer walks, play time and belly rubs 🥰. I have an open floor plan which allows your fur baby to roam free with plenty of space. I also have space for a crate when needed. I have a friendly dog for him or her to play with.
“Blanca loved her stay with Toni and enjoyed playing with another big dog. She was really treated like part of the family and I know today she misses the attention. I will definitely use Toni again because I know my girl was safe and happy there. Highly recommend!!”
“Andi is absolutely the best! Our boy has basically lived with her part time over the last two months and we could not ask for a better sitter. Always attentive and accommodating, we feel so lucky to have found her!”
“We left Buck with Lorraine for 6 nights and when we went to pick him up….he didn’t want to leave! As a dog parent that hurt but it’s a testament to how much fun he has while he is with her. We are so grateful we found Lorraine and will continue to take Buck to her. She’s the best”
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.
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“Katherine was amazing! She took excellent care of our Yellow Lab. She sent lots of pictures with cute captions and we could tell our dog was happy and comfortable. We will definitely use her services again and we’ve already told our friends about her. You will be so happy to see all the love that she pours on to your dog. We took Nala on Wednesday night and picked her up Sunday. We texted Kathy minutes before we picked up Nala, and she was gracious and brought Nala to the car.🥰”
