“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“We were very nervous to leave our boy (Blake) with someone other than family, but Samantha put us at ease. Blake seemed happy with the whole family. Samantha sent pictures often which helped with the separation. We definitely will be having Samantha watch our boy in the future.”
“Nicolette and her entire fam are rockstars in the pet sitting world! They were so loving and patient w/ my Sandy. They went above and beyond to make him feel at home and a part of the family. She sent regular updates and everytime she did Sandy looked so happy. I will def use her again in the future.”
“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. ❤️”

“Kathy is the ideal sitter for our cat - caring, prompt, following his twice daily feeding needs & preferences, providing play time for him.. and bonding well. Best of all were the photos she sent at each visit, giving us daily laughs and smiles at his antics and cute poses she captured. Thank you, Kathy! Hope you’re available next time!”
About: Ever since I was a kid, ive been surrounded by cats whether they were inside cats or outside cats, even stray cats. I used to play, feed and clean the cats litter boxes, even now, i do that. I will quote one thing from my pet care experience typing box. Im good at paying attention to detail on instructions, and i always try to create a connection with the animal instead of just paying attention to the instructions or trying to get the stay over with.
“I selected Stefanie because of a combination of her professional experience as a zookeeper and her number of repeat clients. After working with her I will also be one of those repeat clients. She was very understanding when I had to cancel my first days with her at the last minute. When she eventually took care of my cat she followed all instructions and remembered to do any requests that I sent to her. She's also a delightful person to interact with and it was obvious my cat loved her after viewing the photos I was sent.”
“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 was a dog trainer for Petsmart, I have been a foster for rescues, and I have taken in many homeless pets. I have 2 golden retrievers that are very loved and spoiled and are my world! I enjoy taking care of all dogs, young, old, big, or small. I can give oral or injectable medications. I only use filtered water for my fur babies and yours, no tap water.

I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs of my own to keep your babies company and I have a crate I can use if you prefer or if needed.
“Jessica did her job par excellence! She let me know every day that she had been her to take care of my fur balls. I will definitely ask for her the next time we have to leave town. Thank God for Jessica!”
“Tina was amazing! She took care of Martin like her own. We had her do a few drop ins while out of town and she kept us in the loop the entire time. She even offered to check on our pup when our flight was delayed. Tina made me feel like I could put my phone down and not worry if Marty was going to be taken care of. I definitely recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Bonnie! She was very responsive to our frequent communication - answering questions, understanding when we needed to make a schedule change, and sharing updates and photos during her visits. Most importantly, she gave care and attention to our beloved Kiwi and for that we're very grateful! We highly recommend Bonnie and will definitely use her again.”

Even brought in our flag when bracket broke had on garage wall outside. We will DEFINITELY keep using Stephanie and highly recommend for pet care 🐾”

“Erica and her family were very welcoming to us and our dog, Moose. We felt comfortable with our dog in her care. Erica was prompt with communication, flexible with time, and we could tell Moose got plenty of love and attention from the whole family.”
About: I have cared for dogs for years. I have experience with all sizes and many different breeds. I have a two acre yard fully fenced in perfect for dogs to run and play. as a self employed massage therapist I have the ability to control my schedule and take myself off of the schedule as needed when I get a lot of dog bookings For house sitting I stay the night (approximately 9pm-7am) with at least 1-2 potty breaks a day. I do not offer 24/7 care I'll take them out to play and get fresh air. Depending on their age and health play time will vary. If an older, less active dog I will be careful about how long they walk. Also if they are a puppy or an active breed I will make sure to increase play time to help burn off their excess energy.
“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.”
“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!”
“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: My love for pets started at a young age when I began caring for my family’s dogs. Over time, what began as a simple responsibility grew into a deep passion for their well-being.

“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.”
“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.”

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: 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.

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.
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.

“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.❤️”
“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!”
“We were very nervous to leave our boy (Blake) with someone other than family, but Samantha put us at ease. Blake seemed happy with the whole family. Samantha sent pictures often which helped with the separation. We definitely will be having Samantha watch our boy in the future.”
“Nicolette and her entire fam are rockstars in the pet sitting world! They were so loving and patient w/ my Sandy. They went above and beyond to make him feel at home and a part of the family. She sent regular updates and everytime she did Sandy looked so happy. I will def use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Bethany kept me updated with messages and pictures, and my two dogs were well cared for while they stayed with her! I’ll definitely try to rebook with her the next time I need someone to watch them.”
“I can’t express how thankful I am for Jodi and her husband they watched my two fur babies last minute and I never felt so relieved the second we got there she welcomed us into her beautiful home and let the girls get adjusted you could tell they instantly felt comfortable. Jodi updated me throughout their stay with pictures. I will HIGHLY recommend her. I know how scary it can be letting someone watch your fur babies but Jodi made it so easy for me. I can’t thank her enough!!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the love that Sunny got during his stay with Somer and her beautiful family! The pictures and updates i got daily truly kept my mind at ease that Sunny was getting the one on one care and attention that i give him. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Somer and Garrett! We will be back❤️”
“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!”
“Katie was better than I could have hoped for. She sent photos of my dogs before I even asked! And she sent a lot of photos plus a video(helped my anxiety of being a dog mom). When I looked at the photos I realized my dogs have never looked that happy boarding anywhere but here! I highly recommend her and we will definitely be back. Thanks Katie!”
“Jocelyn was fantastic! Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while we were away. She went above and beyond by successfully administering medication to our puppy, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and it was obvious she genuinely cared for our pets. We came home to happy pups, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
