“Erica was great with my girls. She stopped by the house a few days before our scheduled pickup. I appreciated that. She took from her time to come and spend some time with my dogs to get to know them before bringing them into her home. She provided good communication with pictures of my girls well-being. I recommend Rover.com and if you’re in the central Florida area I recommend looking at Erica.”
“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!”
“Nola was awesome with our little guy! He is older and not always happy with other dogs but he was so happy there! She definitely knows doggy behavior and had no problems giving him his his daily medication. He was a happy and tired boy when I picked him up and a little hesitant to leave! We will definitely be requesting Nola again!”
“Stephanie was extremely welcoming and accommodating for our last-minute booking. We were new to Rover.com and unsure what to expect, but Stephanie kindly ensured we were aware of everything we needed to do and communicated promptly. Luna came home after her first overnight away as calm and happy as could be. We will definitely make Stephanie our first call for all future boarding needs. Thank you!”
“1Absolutely fantastic! There's no other way to describe my experience as a first-time Rover app user with a 14 week old puppy that's never stayed a night away from home before.. Lenetta is the best. From the second she laid eyes on my puppy her level of animation and care and genuine affection for my dog was apparent. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to show me how his day was going. She even took him to PetSmart and bought him a special chew toy for teething puppies. Lenetta has my highest recommendation she is amazing.”
“Tina and Bill both amazingly exceeded my expectations at taking care of my mini Aussie and my two pugs! I had a last minute emergency right before new years, and they came to the rescue! My dogs had an amazing time running around their yard, playing with Tina and Bills adorable little Aussies! They were very communicative and would send lots of pictures! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Definitely will request their services next time I need a sitter!”
“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.”
“Samantha did amazing with my dog Miley! Leaving my dog is always difficult as she has a few disabilities that require lots of attention and medication, including pills and injections, but Samantha did amazing with her and send me daily photos/updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“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.”
“1000% recommend Katie. From the first conversation, I knew my babies would be in good hands with her. We have a high energy dog.. this was no problem for Katie, she was patient and loving and knew exactly how to handle her. Between the consistent picture and updates I never worried or wondered if they were ok. Absolutely we will be using Katie again.”
“Sarah and her family were great! She’s obviously an animal lover and our puppy fit right in. She sent pictures and updates daily! We were very pleased with her care for our little girl! We would recommend her to everyone! Thank you for everything, Sarah!”
“Launa and Ethan were very welcoming and accommodating, including some last minute changes to my reservation due to travel issues. They shared pictures and videos during the stay, an assured me my pup was well behaved and having a good time. Their house is immaculate, and they have a nice fenced in yard to keep my pup, who loves to escape, safe! Definitely looking forward to my next trip, knowing my dog is safe in their hands”
“Sommer and Garrett were absolutely great! They are a beautiful family that love and understand dogs. Their kids help out so much our pups had plenty of attention, cuddles and play time. Their back yard is spacious for active dogs and they are never alone. Luna is very anxious and they knew how to deal with her with lots of care. I was a bit worried because Luna and Moka sleep with me, but there was no issues… they cuddled with them and slept all night. I highly recommend them! 100% I will be back on my next vacation:) I am so grateful to have found them. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”
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.
“Jodi totally put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about Chase being taken care of properly. I could tell he was in good hands with all of the pictures she sent daily. She walked him, played with him and loved him while I was on vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loving home for their fur baby! Thank you Jodi for taking such good care of my baby!”
“I am more than grateful finding Dulce as my pet sitter. She takes good care of pets, maintains great communication and is friendly with customers. I recommend her, you will not be disappointed. She is a blessing.”

“Kathy W was one of the nicest, caring people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her promptness and obvious caring for my MewMew was truly reassuring and put me at ease. 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.”
“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.”
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.
“Cheryl did an excellent job. Even though Cheryl had the most top reviews and repeated bookings, I was so nervous about having a stranger come into my home and care for my cats. When we did out meet and great I got positive vibes but I was still nervous. Well, I can tell you I had nothing to worry about. Cheryl arrived early each morning and sent updates along with photos of my babies. It was such a relief hearing from her each day. When I got home, my babies greeted us and were happy and content. There was fresh water and food and clean litter. My house was left in spotless and in perfect condition. I was very happy that I made the right decision to leave my babies in her care and will be definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Cheryl for taking such good care of my pets and home!!”
“Jessica is wonderful with pets and great at communicating. Even our shyest cat came out from under the bed for her. Jessica keeps you updated on your pets and answers any questions you might have.”
“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: 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.
“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.”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, and I currently have two large fur babies of my own. I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just company, I’m here to help! I work from home, which means your pet isn’t left waiting for attention. I’m able to give them plenty of love, walks, and interaction throughout my day so they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for my pets by making sure they get plenty of exercise, love, and routine. I have a Golden Retriever and a Lab, so daily walks, playtime, and mental enrichment are a must! They’re part of the family, so they get lots of attention, structured feeding, and plenty of cuddle time.

“This is the 1st time I used Rover and it was a great experience. Erica was very calm as was her house and surroundings. I did this while traveling and would not hesitate to bilk again while in the area. Many thanks😊👍”
“First time using Rover and things couldn't have gone any better! Thank you Alyssa for taking such good care of Dakota. We visit the area every year and will definitely be using Alyssa's services again!”
About: From pups to great Danes, turtles to amazon green parrots, fish and more, love them all. Cats are great but only can do drop in visits. I work from home and pets will go out supervised in the yard and walks, weather permitting( down pour rain). Letting pets out IS MY PRIORITY!! I have a fenced in shaded yard perfect for small sunbathing and rolling around in the grass. Great for doing zoomies and playing ball lots of fun!!
About: I love dogs, however I currently don't have one of my own so I need puppy time! I I love walking, throwing a ball, running around with dogs and snuggling up on the couch with them when they're done playing. I make sure to give them as much love and attention as I would if they were my own. I’m currently in night classes for massage from 6-9:30pm Monday to Thursday. I do also pick up babysitting throughout the week, but the schedule on that varies week to week. 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.

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.”
“Sheryl was fantastic with Ladybug! I didn't worry for a second, she is such a warm and welcoming person. Ladybug had three days of doggie daycare and when I dropped her off, it was clear that Ladybug enjoyed her time at Sheryl's house.”
About: From a first grader to present day, dogs have enhanced my life. It's been a privilege being a foster mom for several years with VIP Rescue of central Florida. Teaching basic obedience, grooming and health related issue. Currently, my fiance' Ron and I have three doodles that adorn yet challenge our daily life. A Bernedoodle who is 2 and a mischief when it comes to snagging shoes and slippers. Gus and Grace labradoodles are three. Grace a circus dog full of zoomies and antics, Gus a gentle quiet soul! I'm proud to be their mom! If I'm to be the sitter for your fur baby, please know they are my priority and will treat them with love dignity and respect. The same goes for your home. I currently work part time in the home health field. Where I've dedicated myself full time. I'm looking to switch gears by hanging up the senior home health to canine care. My home is surrounded by a woody environment, providing shade and room for ball play with exercise. There are three fenced sections, separating small dogs from larger dogs. The shy or needy dogs from those with special needs.
“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!”
“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.”
“Bodhi had such a great time at Chris’ house. Bodhi learned to use a doggy door and made new puppy friends while visiting. Chris sent photos and kept us updated throughout the day about how much fun Bodhi was having. We will definitely be scheduling with him again! 10/10!”
“Nola and her husband were great with my 3 fur babies! They have a beautiful home and a great yard space safe for them to play and run around! They were happy and content when I went to pick them up. I would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“Sarah is the greatest sitter, she takes dogs into her home and treats them as her own! She has a fenced in yard so my dog can safely play in her backyard with her 2 dogs. I have used her a few times and have always been satisfied !”
“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.”
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 have taken care of both my own and all the neighborhood pets since I was very small! I am an avid walker ready to wear your baby out for miles and miles a day if needed or just walking a slow few houses away if distance is a struggle. I know each sweet soul is different and deserves all the special attention to them so am flexible with whatever needed to make your pet happy and comfortable! Tough wild puppies and old grumpies in need of medications or treatments, I will handle them all! I currently travel too often to have my own pets so use my time at home to love on others! When I am pet sitting i am usually working from home those days with full access to your pet or half days so I can make sure im available full time. My home is free reign to your animal and they can treat it as their own. So no worries to couch cuddlers or bed sleepers! Runners and bolters will be closely watched and contained. For elderly mobility issue animals any stairs or hard to navigate issues will be blocked off. So safety is directly attended to!
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.
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 dogs since the day I was born. I’ve grown up around hunting dogs and cared for a dog with severe health issues including epilepsy. I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m home full time, able to provide pet care whenever. I’m currently searching for a job so this may change in the future, but for now I am an open book. My dogs ran our household, one of my dogs was missing a leg and still needed to play frisbee and run every day. I like to stay active with my dogs and my clients’ as well!
“Sophia was great with my dog Grady. She was warm, friendly. She took the time to get to know him and play with him and make him (and me) feel comfortable with her before taking him on a walk. She was also punctual and professional!”

“My fur child Ben loved Cheryl! She walked a 100 lb lap dog weekday mornings for two weeks, and he was very happy. Cheryl was prompt, reliable, affectionate and attentive to our boy. I will check her availability again in June when I will need a couple more days. Thank you Cheryl!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.

About: I know what it's like to hand your dog over to someone else — that flicker of worry, even when you trust them. Our dogs aren't just pets. They're family. They greet us at the door like we've been gone for years, they curl up next to us on the hard days, and they love us without any conditions at all. Trusting someone else with that is not a small thing. So here's what I want you to know: when I'm with your dog, I'm not just watching them — I'm watching out for them. Every walk, every outing, every minute we spend together, I take seriously. Not because it's a job, but because I know exactly what it means to love a dog like family, and I know what it means to be the one responsible for them when you can't be. My goal isn't just to keep your dog safe. It's to give you real peace of mind — so that wherever you are, you can stop thinking about whether they're okay, and just know they are. Loved, looked after, and genuinely cared for, the same way I'd want someone to care for mine. Your fur baby is in good hands. I won't take that lightly. More information about me: Dogs have been part of my life since I was 10 years old, when I got my first German Shepherd Dog puppy named Storm. I built him a pen in the laundry room — and slept in there with him for weeks, just to keep him company. That was the start of it. Since then, I've owned and raised about a dozen German Shepherd Dogs, and I've trained dozens of dogs over the years for myself, friends, and family. Today my pack is three: my two German Shepherd Dogs; Ella (10) and Sadie (8), my Belgian Malinois, Mila (2.5). Living with working breeds has shaped how I think about exercise — it's not about wearing a dog out until they're panting. It's about engaging their mind as much as their body. That's the philosophy behind everything I offer. A walk should have a purpose. A trek should be an adventure, not just a loop around the block — somewhere new to sniff, explore, and think. Outing and training sessions build real confidence, not just compliance. I tailor every visit, every outing and every training session to your dog's personality and energy, whether that's a relaxed neighborhood walk, an early morning outing to beat the Florida heat, a solo trek to a trail or pet-friendly store, or focused training time. Multiple daily walks and custom treks are built around what works for your family — just ask. Based in Weeki Wachee, serving west Hernando County. I treat every dog I work with like one of my own. I am fully insured and will provide real references upon request. This is my full-time job — not a side gig, not something squeezed in around another career. When I'm with your dog, that's where my attention is. Every walk, every outing, every training session. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk or trek, your dog gets my full, undivided attention — no other dogs, no distractions. I follow your routine and any instructions you give me for feeding, medication, or specific needs, and I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own: doors locked, things put back where they belong, and your dog's space left clean and comfortable. For walks and treks, I make sure water is available and accidents are cleaned up before I leave. For overnight stays, I keep your dog on their normal schedule as much as possible — same feeding times, same bedtime routine — so there's as little disruption to their world as I can manage. I'm also comfortable administering medication when needed. At the end of the day, my approach is simple: I treat every dog and every home like it's my own.
“Dawn is great, I've been unable to walk my dachsund Blu due to an upcoming back surgery. He's never left my side with anyone else, but had no problem at all walking with Dawn. He's getting his exercise again and really enjoys his walks with her, he comes back happy as can be!”
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I was little and love seeing the different personalities each pet has. 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. This will leave plenty of time to play with your animals and care for them. I have two friendly animals in the household and a fenced yard allowing the animals to roam freely. Whether it is at my home or theirs, I listen to the owners rules and routines for their animals.
“We’ve been using dog walkers for years and Stephanie is the best we’ve ever had. She’s super patient with our special needs dog and also our puppy and has been great in terms of flexibility when last minute conflicts come up. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker!”
“Ashley did a Mah-velous job! She took the extra time to make sure that Holly and I were comfortable and relaxed during two meet an greats. She exceeded my expectations in every way.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, my mom owns a rescue business. I’ve helped her with dogs, cats, and reptiles. We always have animals in and out of the house, my mom babysits many animals and I help her take care of fosters like cats and dogs. I’m currently out of school and I am open anytime, any day. I have a lot of time to take care of pets. I can walk or play with your animals! At home I have a fenced in area in the back yard to keep your pup safe! I have 3 other playful pups that would love to play with new animals!

“Erica was great with my girls. She stopped by the house a few days before our scheduled pickup. I appreciated that. She took from her time to come and spend some time with my dogs to get to know them before bringing them into her home. She provided good communication with pictures of my girls well-being. I recommend Rover.com and if you’re in the central Florida area I recommend looking at Erica.”
“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!”
“Stephanie was extremely welcoming and accommodating for our last-minute booking. We were new to Rover.com and unsure what to expect, but Stephanie kindly ensured we were aware of everything we needed to do and communicated promptly. Luna came home after her first overnight away as calm and happy as could be. We will definitely make Stephanie our first call for all future boarding needs. Thank you!”
“1Absolutely fantastic! There's no other way to describe my experience as a first-time Rover app user with a 14 week old puppy that's never stayed a night away from home before.. Lenetta is the best. From the second she laid eyes on my puppy her level of animation and care and genuine affection for my dog was apparent. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to show me how his day was going. She even took him to PetSmart and bought him a special chew toy for teething puppies. Lenetta has my highest recommendation she is amazing.”
“Samantha did amazing with my dog Miley! Leaving my dog is always difficult as she has a few disabilities that require lots of attention and medication, including pills and injections, but Samantha did amazing with her and send me daily photos/updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“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.”
“1000% recommend Katie. From the first conversation, I knew my babies would be in good hands with her. We have a high energy dog.. this was no problem for Katie, she was patient and loving and knew exactly how to handle her. Between the consistent picture and updates I never worried or wondered if they were ok. Absolutely we will be using Katie again.”
“Sarah and her family were great! She’s obviously an animal lover and our puppy fit right in. She sent pictures and updates daily! We were very pleased with her care for our little girl! We would recommend her to everyone! Thank you for everything, Sarah!”
“Sommer and Garrett were absolutely great! They are a beautiful family that love and understand dogs. Their kids help out so much our pups had plenty of attention, cuddles and play time. Their back yard is spacious for active dogs and they are never alone. Luna is very anxious and they knew how to deal with her with lots of care. I was a bit worried because Luna and Moka sleep with me, but there was no issues… they cuddled with them and slept all night. I highly recommend them! 100% I will be back on my next vacation:) I am so grateful to have found them. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”
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.
“Jodi totally put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about Chase being taken care of properly. I could tell he was in good hands with all of the pictures she sent daily. She walked him, played with him and loved him while I was on vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loving home for their fur baby! Thank you Jodi for taking such good care of my baby!”
“I am more than grateful finding Dulce as my pet sitter. She takes good care of pets, maintains great communication and is friendly with customers. I recommend her, you will not be disappointed. She is a blessing.”
“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!”
“Renea and her family treated my Nikko like their own pup! I can’t thank them enough! All the pics and videos while we were away made me feel so at ease that he was in great care! See you guys for our next booking! 💙🐾”
“My puppy was obviously very comfortable at their home as was evident by the photos. She was snuggled and loved and cared for and that is all i could ever ask for. Thank you so much.”
“Kailyn was awesome! She sent us photos and updates frequently! Our girls loved her! Our standard poodle struggles with separation anxiety and she made her stay extra special and comfortable! Would highly recommend! 10/10”
“This was the first time we had to board our puppy and Dawn was excellent! She kept us in the loop with pictures and texts to let us know our little boy was happy and playing with her family. She took care of his medication schedule and feedings, etc. He came back to us a happy puppy! Overall amazing experience and Dawn made us feel comfortable leaving the puppy with her. We would definitely recommend her and hope she is available next time we need a sitter!”
