“I have used Angie's services for the third time in a row and she is a wonderful person and I couldn't have found anyone better in my area to take care of the love of my life Mimi. Thanks Angie”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Matt and Nicole were terrific. They were very easy-going and sent me daily photos of my dog during several different activities throughout the day including swimming laps in their pool. It was almost like a weekend day spa for my nine year-old chocolate lab who needed the exercise. Their home had a very warm animal loving feel to it.”
“What a great sitter! Don't hesitate to choose Christian for your furry baby's sitter. He kept up with pics and info during my dog's stay. He's first on my list next time I need a sitter.”
“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Maya was a very easy sitter to work with. She responds quickly, is very kind, she keeps you updated frequently, and she knows and loves dogs. She was great with giving our boy his medications and keeping up with his demanding puppy schedule. IYKYK. We’ll definitely use Maya again!”
“Megan was awesome. There was plenty coordination on the front-end to do an intro to make sure the visit would be successful. We got regular updates about our pup even over the holidays and some great pictures to share with our family. And she and her family will definitely be a keeper for future visits. Absolutely recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Iris was accommodating and pleasant to deal with. She provided photos of our dogs throughout their stay. She provides the majority of things your dog needs and has a nice home to board your pets in.”
“Kevin has been wonderful….He keeps me updated, and even in my exhaustive busy time traveling it puts a smile on my face and an added relief knowing Maxx is in good hands! Maxx even got a buddy in the way of Kevin’s husky and they go to the dog park to play and also share fun with Kevin’s family!”
“Teddy just jumps out of the car and straight in the house without a look back. He loves it there. Briana is responsive, welcoming and I would recommend her 5 stars.”
“Absolutely wonderful! I was so relaxed knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of! Joanne sent pictures and videos to let me know how he was doing. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her service.”
“First time I have ever left my pup with someone , and he absolutely loved her from the beginning!! Definitely will be using again and again ♥️ He was so excited at pick up but also wanted to love on summer , highly recommend.”

“what an amazing sitter. Angelica put alot of effort in making sure I felt comfortable leaving my dog at her home. She updated me very often with photos of my pup and he looked to be having a blast with the other dogs. I think he was sad to leave haha. Will book with her again for sure.”
“I cannot express how amazing Mary is! She took such good care of my babies and kept me updated constantly. I was afraid of leaving my dogs behind for the first time but Mary just won us over from the second we did the meet and greet! She is so understanding and goes above and beyond for the pets she cares for. I am so thankful for the wonderful care my dogs received and I will definitely be a returning costumer!!!”

“Bethany & Nathan were fabulous and have set the bar so high for any future bookings I have! Not only were they super attentive, extreme attention to detail but I felt at ease letting them come into my home to take care of my pet. They never gave me a doubt in my mind that my cat was in the best hands and that he was enjoying them while I was away on vacation! Thank you two again for everything, I couldn’t be happier.”
“DeDe did a great job. We have 5 cats, including kittens of varying ages, that had to be fed separately to keep the adults from gobbling up all the food. She sent us daily pictures showing everyone eating and playing. She handles it well and everyone was happy and fed when we got home. Best of all our house didn't smell like a litter box. She is a master scooper. We will definitely have DeDe come back and recommend her.”
“Thank you Jennifer for agreeing to take care of my cats on short notice. You were so kind to them and seemed to genuinely love them; even my two ferals and the cat who lives across the street who comes over for snacks. You truly love our furry babes.”
“Kylee was extremely responsive, warm, and kind both through the app and in person. I could tell from just a few minutes of conversation that she is a cat lover. I tend to be an anxious/neurotic pet owner, which makes it hard for me to trust sitters, but Kylee was great! After almost a full week of drop-ins with her, I came home to my cat who was just as happy and healthy as ever.”
“We we’re leaving the state for Thanksgiving and our indoor tuxedo cat Espresso escaped that morning. I was able to contact Ruth through Rover... which I heard from my daughter was a great service. She was able to go to our house the SAME day and look for our cat. She then proceeded to search twice a day for the next Six days… she suggested putting cat treats outside and the cat box. Because of her efforts when we came home late on Monday night Espresso was on the balcony waiting for us… We are very thankful for Ruth and will definitely use in the future.”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”
“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”
“Couldn’t have been better. Very attentive; played with them, gave them their desert-churro-sent multiple photos, indulged my cats’ foibles and mine. Kept me from worrying about them so I could enjoy a couple days out of town.”
“Kane is pretty shy usually when meeting new people, but my dad said he took right to her! She was great in letting me know what was happening during both drop in visits and super friendly! I definitely know who I will be booking when we need to go away again.”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 15 and have experience with all different breeds! My first job was in a pet store, so I’m very familiar with caring for puppies and a large range of different pets! My pup has a chronic illness and requires medication daily, so I am experienced with administering medication as well. I am a stay at home fur mom and human mom and have open availability to check in on your pet(s). I can check in multiple times per day and can offer discounts for multiple days. Currently I am not offering services in my home for any pet. As our son gets older, we may decide to open up our home for puppy vacations
“Thank you so much for taking care of our two kitties! This was the first time we had left them alone for more than a couple days, and it was such a relief knowing someone was going to check on them and make sure the older cat got her medication.”
About: I have owned cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs and bunnies. We love animals. My children love to play and take care of animals also. We are very comfortable with all kinds. We currently walk dogs and volunteer at the SPCA. I work in health care. My children would love to own a dog of their own so we are giving them experience with taking care of the animals and responsibility. We also love taking walks outside and playing. We treat animals like they are our own. We have a large yard outside and a great neighborhood to walk around. We also enjoy coming to houses to take care of the animals and walk them. We know they are special to you and they are your children!
“Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.”

“Megan was more than accommodating! She agreed to meet with me prior to Zoey’s day of daycare, and I was immediately out at ease. I knew Zoey would be in the best hands, and she absolutely was! Megan has a big yard for Zoey to run around and play, and Megan was great about sending pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a home away from home for their fur baby. I will absolutely be booking with Megan again!”

“Being our first time little our little pups for the first time, we were quite nervous and worried about leaving them for the day in a new environment. We were very quickly put as easy with Karla's amazing, calm and caring nature and obvious genuine love of animals.

About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Whether it's playful walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply offering a watchful eye, I prioritize their happiness and comfort. With personalized attention and a deep understanding of canine needs, I do attempt to house train with the time I have with every furry friend I receive, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best hands. I am a college student, getting my degree in digital design. Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.
“Kenny did such an incredible job with our 4 month old puppy! Great house and the perfect back yard. He even took her on a long walk around the neighborhood. We got pictures throughout her stay and details about her schedule. He even taught her some new tricks. I’m so impressed! I would highly recommend Kenny!”
“Briana was amazing with Myla! I got updates and pictures, she even went out her way and clipped Myla’s nails. She responded to my booking within a few minutes of my booking (my booking was for the next day) she’s a lifesaver!”
About: I’ve had pets to care for in my life for more years than I haven’t! From kitty liters being born on my porch to pups with epilepsy, I’ve seen & handled it all!

I’ve cared for American Bulldogs, pugs, adult cats & kitty litters! (And chickens but I don’t think those are allowed in my apartment) I work remotely, so I’m always open to moving my schedule around for what may work best for your little one. We’ll keep em as on schedule as possible while you’re away. :) Im also a retired nanny! So I’m very used to sending check in photos and txt updates, as well as full “while you were away” reports upon trip returns!

So I’m free to hang out with your fur babies as much as possible <3 I’ll keep them on their normal schedule so they don’t feel the slightest bit of discomfort :) I have a pet free home , because I travel too often right now to have a fur baby of my own. That being said , if your baby is a little shy or prefers being by themselves, this is the spot for them!

About: 2020 update: Work from home in PR. Family full of animal lovers. Kids very comfortable with many types of animals as they are taught to respect them. 2017 update: Recently relocated back to Florida earlier this year and as much as we miss California it is nice to be back home with Family, especially now that we have a new bundle of joy (one without fur ;p )! Will be updating the images of our new 2 story home that is more spacious and accommodating for all types of pups :) Previous description: Hi there! My husband and I moved here from Florida back in October. I worked at a tech company in downtown San Diego after I moved out here and it just re-confirmed office life isn't for me. I love animals and am trying to start a business involving dogs. Back in Florida I would pet sit for many of my friends and family, and they had all types of dogs. We have a 2-bedroom town home with a lot of space. We also have 2 of our own furbabies, a mini beagle and a lab mix. We take them to the dog park by our house, many walks a day, and to the dog beach (their favorite!). I have great availability. Picture text updates of your pooch, as well!
About: Dogs need attention just as much as humans do, if not more! We provide games, fun exercises, walks, and most importantly a nice nap. My husband has experience with birds, cats, and dogs! I'm at home all day and my husband works close by. Minimum 3 walks a day as we really enjoy exercising. We both give a lot of attention to our dog! We have several dog play areas in our community. We have a balcony where our furry friends can sit and people watch. We also have several dog beds so our friends can recharge their energy!

“I want to thank Bethany and Nathan for being so awesome! They have cared for my baby Angel several times now. They are very reliable and responsive. I have been accomadated for last minute sittings. I am a nurse and sometimes get called into work a 12 hour shift at the last minute. I call Bethany and she sits for Angel with no problem. I feel very comfortable leaving Angel with Bethany, I don't have to worry about her. I can focus on what I'm doing with no fears about Angel. If you are a pet parent you know how important it is to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to care for your pet who is like your child. You can feel safe and secure that Bethany and Nathan will treat your pet just like their own. Just to wrap up I want to say that from the first time Angel meet Bethany and Nathan she took to them like she has never done before. I was amazed and knew then I had found the right person's to sit for Angel whom I love very much.”
“I can’t thank Joshua enough for the wonderful care he’s given Melvin. He’s been incredibly patient and understanding with my pup, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog walker!”
“Margot loves her walks and time with Kylee! So thankful we found an awesome doggie walker! I feel guilty for being unable to do long walks so it is amazing knowing Margie’s having a great time when we’re apart!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My heart is always happy with pets, I enjoy to play with them, feed, bath, walk or just snuggle together. I work in my home office, so I’m able to take care of the pets in my house every day and night in a week. I have a couple doggy parks nearby so I can take pets every day to park. Also I like to walk around lakes and natural trails so will have a lots of fun together.
About: I’ve had dogs in my house for my entire life. Seriously, not a single day without a dog! I currently have 2 mini dachshunds, which if you know, can be known as one of the trickiest breeds. They are my babies, and they’ve inspired me to use my love of animals for good! I also have experience volunteering at the SPCA, caring for both small and large breeds. I work from home and have opportunities throughout the day to use my time for animal care. I live in a highly residential area that puts me very close to a lot of homes who may need care. I will follow the owner’s directions exactly, and treat their dogs as my own. I love spending time outside, allowing the dogs to get plenty of fresh air and play time.
About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.
About: I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I'm naturally patient and enjoy taking the time to get to know each dog's personality and comfort level. I also have experience caring for a dog with extreme anxiety, so I'm comfortable providing extra reassurance, sticking to routines, and creating a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring hands. I currently work part-time, with shifts typically lasting 6–7 hours in either the morning or evening. As a pet owner myself, I'm experienced in balancing work and providing attentive care. I prioritize making sure all pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and TLC, and I plan my schedule accordingly to ensure they're well cared for while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore. I also have two dogs and two cats who are friendly, well-socialized, and get along well with other animals. There is a quiet park near my home that I usually bring my dogs to walk. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels at home.
About: I’ve had experience with different pets all my life. I was lucky enough to grow up with parents that never turned away a pet I wanted: cat, dog, frog, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, you name it. I’ve loved it and cared for it. We currently have two Rottweilers and a cat. One dog unfortunately has stomach issues, seizures, arthritis and severe skin allergies. I am very well accustomed to administering medications, whether oral or injections, as I am an RN who is a current stay at home mom. I went back to work as an RN for a while but I am back at home and reopen for bookings! I am generally available from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, unless there’s an appointment I need to attend. I am excited to get back to providing loving care for my clients! I have had great success with great clients that have given instructions on how their pets like to be greeted and behave. My pet parents know their babies best so I always use their suggestions. Sometimes it’s with treats, sometimes it’s with a ball, and sometimes it’s with creating space and honoring their wishes (usually cats lol).
About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.
About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.
About: As a passionate pet lover, what sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized and attentive care to each pet. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits and social skills from a young age. Additionally, I am well-versed in senior pet care, offering gentle and patient support tailored to their unique needs. My genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond, ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved under my care. I’m home for the summer and working part time as an interior design intern. I am home most days so I will be able to give the upmost care and attention to your pet. I offer both in-home and client-home pet care services, each tailored to meet the unique needs of the pets and their owners. **In My Home:** Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I provide a comfortable space with plenty of toys and cozy resting areas. Regular exercise, playtime, and cuddles are a part of the daily routine. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and adhere to any special dietary requirements. With constant supervision, your pet will never feel alone or neglected. **In Your Home:** I ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow your specified routines for feeding, exercise, and playtime, maintaining consistency for your pet's well-being. I am attentive to their needs, providing companionship and care while you're away. For puppies, I continue with their training and socialization, and for senior pets, I offer gentle and patient care tailored to their needs. In both settings, my top priority is the happiness and health of your pet. My approach is to treat every pet as if they were my own, providing the love and attention they deserve.

I currently have 1 dog (yorkie) that is 15 years old. He is an old man and a loner so he sleeps most of the day.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—everything from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Chihuahuas and Great Danes. I’ve administered medicine, handled special feeding routines, and taken care of elderly animals with extra needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends, neighbors, and multiple households over the years. I currently live with cats I care for full-time, and I’m happy to help with additional tasks like watering plants, taking out litter, or feeding fish. I’m great at following specific instructions and keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently between jobs and going back to school in the fall, which means I have full availability all summer long. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet-sitting needs—whether that’s regular check-ins, overnights, or last-minute help. I live locally in Mulberry and often help out at my family’s pharmacy, but otherwise my time is yours! I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I always follow the pet’s routine to keep things consistent—mealtimes, walks, medications, and even preferred toys or napping spots. I’m respectful of the client’s space and clear about communication, sending regular updates and checking in if anything seems off. I make sure pets feel safe by being patient, affectionate, and attentive to their needs—whether that’s quiet time for a nervous cat or extra play for an energetic pup. Trust is everything, and I take that seriously from day one.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets whether it was mine family or friends. I really enjoy having fur babies around I live by myself so it’s good company/fun I’m home full time. I do work from home but it doesn’t get in the way of the care for your babies. I have my own and he’s very happy. I live in a gated community. Lots of trail walks inside the community also DOG PARK ! Your baby will be safe with me. Can’t wait to see them all !
About: I grew up with 2 boxers and a greyhound. Both breeds were VASTLY different, with the boxers being extremely high energy and discipline being a top priority. The greyhound was the polar opposite. Low energy, with a sprint around the yard he was done for the afternoon. In my young adult life, I have had cockapoos, which yet again were a completely different breed! Currently, I am conquering raising a bernedoodle puppy named Shelby who I love to pieces. I have grown up around dogs and have taken care of a variety of breeds, each of them having different and loveable characteristics and challenges. I currently am available at most times for dog daycare, boarding and walking. I have a very flexible schedule and work from home during the weeks. I would love to host your fur baby for the day or for boarding if you are going away. They must get along with other dogs, as I have 2 of my own that are very friendly.
