I never worry anymore about having to leave my fur baby because I don't. I sent her to Bill and Tina's puppy camp and you should too!”
“As always Katie took great care of our dogs while we were away on a cruise. I especially loved that she sent us photos and even dressed them in cute Christmas outfits which made our hearts so happy. It was hard being away from them over Cbristmas but much easier knowing they were in great hands.”
“Glad we found Chris. Bentley seemed to enjoy his time with Chris and his wife. We could tell Bentley felt like home way he was cuddled and loved from pictures received. We will definitely contact Chris again.”

“Stefhany and Jean took wonderful care of our dog! Rusty was right at home with such a loving and dedicated family. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for loving him as if he were part of their own family. Stefhany y Jean cuidaron a nuestro perro de forma maravillosa! Rusty estuvo como en casa con una familia tan amorosa y dedicada. Les agradecemos de corazón por haberlo querido como si fuera parte de su propia familia.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the care Nicolette gave our dog. Her family took great care of Ella, our aging dachsund. I would definitely leave her with them again. Ella had never been kept by anyone except family so I was worried she would panic with strangers. But all went well and I felt she was treated like she was their own dog. Thank you, Nicolette.”
“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.”

The daily pictures and updates were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care. She is truly an asset and wonderful representative of rover.com. Thank you so much.”
“Corey has been a godsend for our new pup Chloe. We were worried about how she would do with a stranger bc she is very timid, but Corey proved to be a dog whisperer and she took right to him like he was part of her family. Can't express how lucky we were to find such a great guy that clearly loves animals..10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone.”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life, and I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and prefers a quiet environment, I'll take the time to earn their trust and care for them at their own pace. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering oral medications when needed, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing food and water, and providing plenty of affection and enrichment. I'll also make sure your home stays tidy and your cat's routine remains as consistent as possible while you're away. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your feline family member is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention I would give my own pets.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

Jessica was so sweet to send us pictures at each visit all the while keeping us updatied not only on the cats but our home! Will definitely have Jessica take care of our fur babies again!”
“Stephanie is top notch! She cares VERY much for animals which is obvious from minute she meets them throughout time she pet sits. She kept us updated via text (our request). 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 🐾”
“Stephanie goes out of her way to make sure things go smoothly. Knowing our fur baby was in good hands made it easier to leave her. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. I highly recommend her. Thanks Stephanie!”

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. Today, I bring that same dedication, joy, and care to every pet I look after. With years of experience, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds and ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. Here’s what sets me apart: All breeds, all ages: I’m comfortable caring for every type of pet, ensuring their unique needs are met with patience and expertise. Medication administration: I’m experienced in giving oral medications and insulin injections with care and precision, so your pet stays healthy and stress-free. Puppy training and socialization: I’ve helped young pets develop good habits, build confidence, and feel at home in their environment. Senior pet care: I understand the gentle needs of older pets, from low-impact play to monitoring their comfort and well-being. Compassionate and reliable: I treat every pet like my own, providing a safe, loving, and fun experience they’ll love. If you’re looking for a sitter who combines experience, trustworthiness, and a genuine love for pets, let’s connect! I’d love to discuss how I can make your pet’s day as special as they make yours. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and love being around animals. Here’s how I’ll make sure their needs are always met: Daily: Morning and evening: Feed the pet and take them for walks or playtime. Throughout the day: Spend time cuddling, training, or providing companionship. Weekly: Cleaning their space, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. Longer outings or adventures, like trips to the park or beach, if the pet enjoys it. Flexibility: I’m available for drop-ins, last-minute requests, and overnight boarding. Experience: I’ve cared for pets in the past and love making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a quick walk, a playdate, or a longer stay, I’m happy to help! I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re staying in my home or visiting yours. Here’s how I ensure their comfort and safety: In My Home: I provide a safe and cozy space: I prepare a quiet, pet-friendly area with their bed, toys, and familiar items (like blankets or treats) to help them feel at home. Routine care: I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to keep them comfortable. Supervision: I monitor their behavior, energy levels, and health, and I’m always available to provide companionship or address any concerns. Cleanliness: I keep their space tidy, sanitize bowls and bedding, and ensure their environment is safe (e.g., no hazards like loose wires or toxic plants). Pet-proofing: I make sure my home is secure, especially for curious or energetic pets. In a Client’s Home: I am respectful and observant: I follow the pet’s routine exactly as the owner describes, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions (e.g., no treats, certain commands, or favorite toys). Home safety: I double-check that doors, windows, and gates are secure to prevent escapes. I also ensure the pet doesn’t have access to unsafe areas (e.g., cleaning supplies, trash, or small objects they could swallow). Updates: I provide regular updates to the owner, including photos or messages about how their pet is doing/ any concerns I have. Emergency plan: I have the owner’s vet contact info and my backup’s details in case of an emergency. Extra care: I love giving pets extra love and attention through cuddles, gentle play, or quiet time—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed.
About: I will treat your fur babies like they are my own and would love to meet them. I have experience in training dogs and taking care of senior dogs. I work from home, therefore I am available from Monday through Sunday and your pet can stay overnight or if needed just during the day. I have a fenced in yard and a King shepherd female, which is friendly with other dogs therefore your fur baby would have a playmate to enjoy the time here. I will play with them, feed them and also give them treats.
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Our boy Dexter had the absolute best time staying with Candace and her husband. They were the best and kept us informed with pictures the whole time. Dexter was so excited to see them the second day we dropped him off. We will definitely be using them in the future. Can’t thank them enough for giving our boy the BEST care.”
“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'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 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.
“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’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 grew up on 5 acres with horses, dogs, goats, pigs, cats. Pretty much whatever you can think of I had it! I have been caring for others peoples animals since I was about 12 years old growing up in the country. I’m use to bathing, feeding, walking and just genuine playing with the animals. I currently work part time at Publix and know my schedule in advance so I am able to work around any pet sitting! When I’m not at work I’m at the house playing with Winston or taking him to explore the area. We have a beautiful back yard where we spend most of our day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly puppy who will keep your fur baby the best company! We play fetch, have a sandbox for the dogs to dig and find hidden toys and a dog friendly splash pad for the hot days. We also allow the animals on the furniture if that’s what they’re use to at home :)
About: Hi! I’m Bekah, and I split time between Gainesville and Crystal River, where pets have access to a spacious fenced farm property.

I keep things calm and comfortable so they feel safe, and I’m always paying attention to what they need, whether that’s play, rest, or just some quiet time

Neighbors, friends and family have been able to rely on me to walk, feed and sit their pets. I currently work part-time working typically 3/4 hours a day about 2 days a week.

Whether it is at my home or theirs, I listen to the owners rules and routines for their animals.

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. Today, I bring that same dedication, joy, and care to every pet I look after. With years of experience, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds and ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. Here’s what sets me apart: All breeds, all ages: I’m comfortable caring for every type of pet, ensuring their unique needs are met with patience and expertise. Medication administration: I’m experienced in giving oral medications and insulin injections with care and precision, so your pet stays healthy and stress-free. Puppy training and socialization: I’ve helped young pets develop good habits, build confidence, and feel at home in their environment. Senior pet care: I understand the gentle needs of older pets, from low-impact play to monitoring their comfort and well-being. Compassionate and reliable: I treat every pet like my own, providing a safe, loving, and fun experience they’ll love. If you’re looking for a sitter who combines experience, trustworthiness, and a genuine love for pets, let’s connect! I’d love to discuss how I can make your pet’s day as special as they make yours. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and love being around animals. Here’s how I’ll make sure their needs are always met: Daily: Morning and evening: Feed the pet and take them for walks or playtime. Throughout the day: Spend time cuddling, training, or providing companionship. Weekly: Cleaning their space, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. Longer outings or adventures, like trips to the park or beach, if the pet enjoys it. Flexibility: I’m available for drop-ins, last-minute requests, and overnight boarding. Experience: I’ve cared for pets in the past and love making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a quick walk, a playdate, or a longer stay, I’m happy to help! I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re staying in my home or visiting yours. Here’s how I ensure their comfort and safety: In My Home: I provide a safe and cozy space: I prepare a quiet, pet-friendly area with their bed, toys, and familiar items (like blankets or treats) to help them feel at home. Routine care: I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to keep them comfortable. Supervision: I monitor their behavior, energy levels, and health, and I’m always available to provide companionship or address any concerns. Cleanliness: I keep their space tidy, sanitize bowls and bedding, and ensure their environment is safe (e.g., no hazards like loose wires or toxic plants). Pet-proofing: I make sure my home is secure, especially for curious or energetic pets. In a Client’s Home: I am respectful and observant: I follow the pet’s routine exactly as the owner describes, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions (e.g., no treats, certain commands, or favorite toys). Home safety: I double-check that doors, windows, and gates are secure to prevent escapes. I also ensure the pet doesn’t have access to unsafe areas (e.g., cleaning supplies, trash, or small objects they could swallow). Updates: I provide regular updates to the owner, including photos or messages about how their pet is doing/ any concerns I have. Emergency plan: I have the owner’s vet contact info and my backup’s details in case of an emergency. Extra care: I love giving pets extra love and attention through cuddles, gentle play, or quiet time—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed.
“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!!!”

“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!”
