About: As an experienced and trustworthy dog caregiver, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a strong background in dog nutrition and firsthand experience caring for a special-needs pup of my own, I understand the importance of patience, compassion, and individualized attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or specialized care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working at home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup! I will make sure to stick to your pups routine. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, loving environment where they’re treated like family. I will send daily pictures and updates. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I have 2 friendly pups that your pup can play with!
“I had an amazing experience with Angie! She truly has a deep love and care for dogs, and she made my dog feel completely comfortable during his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands while I was out of town. Angie is someone I genuinely trust, and I’m so grateful I found her. 10/10 experience! I will definitely be booking with Ms. Angie again!”

“Thank you so much for watching our little babies a little longer due to flight delays! Greatly appreciate you taking care of our Bella and Winston!”

“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”

“I was very nervous for Spiky since I had never left him before with anyone, but Joanne made me feel better because she was sending pictures and messages with updates about Spiky. We appreciate Joanne for giving our baby all the attention and love he needed while we were gone. I 200% recommend her and I recommend the Rover app as well.”

“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!”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided for my dog, Bruno! The communication was excellent throughout his stay, and I received frequent updates and pictures, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Bruno was happy and well cared for, and I never had to worry. Thank you for the exceptional service and for treating Bruno like family!”

“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.”

“Amazing sitter. VERY CARING AND ATTENTIVE !!! Took really good care of my fur baby !!! I felt safe leaving my baby with Mercedes .. Will use her again and I Recommend any one looking for a great sitter TO GIVE HER A CALL.”

“I am torn between telling you how fabulous Christian is and lying and telling you he is terrible…so he doesn’t get booked up!😂 Seriously, our two dogs had a great stay with Christian, he truly loves animals. He’s reliable, flexible, trustworthy and communicated wonderfully. We feel blessed that we found him, will definitely use him again.”

“I would HIGHLY recommend Megan for your sitting and/or boarding needs 🤍 My husband and I had to go out of town for 6 days and our puppy is only 6 months old. I had left Charli with a sitter from Rover one afternoon, but wanted someone closer to our home and more experience. Megan is it! The anxiety we had of leaving her was quickly diminished by the photos and constant communication Megan provided. Charli was happy and socializing with other dogs, as she had not been exposed to many dogs previously as young as she is. Megan's property is well thought out with plenty of room to run and play also with a separate "house: for the dogs that can stay in crates to sleep. Charli had such a good time I may just pay to leave her for a play date one afternoon! Thank you, Megan and family! 🙏🏼”

“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!”

“Megan is amazing and just so sweet and good with dogs. I HIGHLY recommend her! I had another pet sitter cancel on me and I needed somebody last minute and she was so gracious to take him and I really appreciated it. She also kept me updated and sent me pictures every day that she had him ❤️ thanks again Megan!”

“Mrs Annette is the best sitter for my Gus he just loves time in her home and she keeps me updated with daily videos and pictures. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a doggy sitter she’s the best around 💕”

“Kylee was fantastic. The communication was amazing and she was so so sweet and took great care of our furry friend. Will definitely be having Kylee come visit again!”

“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.”


“He was so amazing and sweet with Apollo. He played with him so much and kept me up to date with everything. He sent so many pictures, I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my cat with someone and I absolutely will rebook with him when I’m in town.”


“We are so pleased that Ruth took care of our three kitties during our recent trip! We have been uncomfortable about our upcoming trips because travel upsets our kitties and we have to leave them behind. After our trial trip with Ruth, we feel that we can travel this year without the worry because she will give TLC to our sweet cas while we are gone.”

“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!”

“My boys were well taken care of and I got some cute photos on my trip for peace of mind. Her response time was excellent and I didn’t have a second of worry about my boys. I was able to enjoy my vacation with the knowledge my kitties were shown love and care the whole time. Will definitely book again.”

“We moved to New Albany this past Summer and left our most favorite pet sitter behind in Missouri. When we were traveling this Fall, we hit up Rover again hoping to find another great fit … and we hit the jackpot! Amber is a prize. We chose to reach out as Amber works as a veterinary assistant and has a wide skillset for caring for animals. It was important to us, just in case one of our fur-babies needs medications or special care in the future (or, if there was an emergency). We were very impressed with her maturity and kind demeanor. It is apparent from our few conversations, Amber is a lovely human being, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She took to our kitties right away, and our cat who NEVER comes out for pet sitters made an appearance on day #3. Amber went above and beyond and photo-documented her visits in detail. She kept excellent tabs on what was happening around meals, litter boxes, and the like. When she was running about 15 minutes late, she sent us a text letting us know what was happening (we weren't worried). We returned home to 3 happy healthy kitties. We highly recommend Amber, and are so glad we found her! ???⬛”

“Lauren did an amazing job watching my two elderly cats. She was on-time, communicative, and kept me thoroughly updated throughout my trip. She also administered my cats meds perfectly. I definitely recommend her!”


“Ashlei took great care of our cat Caesar while we were away. She arrived twice daily at our home and gave us regular updates through text messages and photos. I would not hesitate to hire Ashlei in the future.”


About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, having been raised by fellow cat lovers! We had numerous family cats, and fostered and volunteered for shelters. Friends, neighbors, and family members often rely on me to drop in on their cats whilst they are away. I have experience providing cats with basic, routine medical care, such as pills, topicals, and injections. I've cared for cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to seniors.

About: When I was 12 a stray Tom adopted us. My mother and I would bandage him after his escapades. I have since then taken care of feral cats and helped get them spayed and neutered. I have also dropped in on the cats of my friends when they go out of town to give some human stimulation and make sure they have food and water.

“Bridget took such great care of our 15 year old cat while we were out of town. We highly recommend her for anyone in need of a sitter - we’ll definitely be reaching out to her every time we do!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She was great with our cats. She came every day at around the same time, fed and watered them, played with them and cleaned their box. She sent us adorable pictures that we looked forward to each day of our trip! I would leave my pets in her care again in a heartbeat! We really appreciated the care she took to communicate with me while we were gone.”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs my whole life, I am a pet lover and very gentle with animals. I have a large Great Dane at home so I am also familiar with large dogs. I am currently a college student-athlete living in Lakeland, not as busy as you think! I take mostly online classes and have a perfect schedule for check-ins, and walks!

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.

“We needed last minute dog care while traveling out of town and Cyd Marie did such an amazing job!! She was so sweet and friendly and the dogs loved her immediately. Her home is super warm and dog friendly. Couldn’t recommend her enough”

“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. Our dogs took to her straight away and not only were ok for the day, but had an associate blast with Karla and her little Coco. She sent us updates, photos and videos that made us feel beyond at ease, but so happy that our little ones were having a great time! ☺️ We are delighted to have Karla as an amazing person to look after our pooches at times we need to be away in the future as we know they will have the best care and it actually be an enjoyable, fun adventure for them! Cannot recommend and thank Karla enough for her brilliant care and genuine love and gift she has for animals ☺️?”

“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”
“Kylee is awesome! I shopped around for a while and couldn't find the right match.My Sadie is very protective and she has been very sheltered so she doesn't care for too many people but she took to Kylie right away! she loves her! She is very prompt and very trustworthy ! She is capable of doing any type of service that you need! Even though I would like to keep her all to myself she could benefit other people as well! Highly recommended!”

“I had an amazing experience with Angie! She truly has a deep love and care for dogs, and she made my dog feel completely comfortable during his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands while I was out of town. Angie is someone I genuinely trust, and I’m so grateful I found her. 10/10 experience! I will definitely be booking with Ms. Angie again!”

“Thank you so much for watching our little babies a little longer due to flight delays! Greatly appreciate you taking care of our Bella and Winston!”

“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided for my dog, Bruno! The communication was excellent throughout his stay, and I received frequent updates and pictures, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Bruno was happy and well cared for, and I never had to worry. Thank you for the exceptional service and for treating Bruno like family!”

“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.”

“I am torn between telling you how fabulous Christian is and lying and telling you he is terrible…so he doesn’t get booked up!😂 Seriously, our two dogs had a great stay with Christian, he truly loves animals. He’s reliable, flexible, trustworthy and communicated wonderfully. We feel blessed that we found him, will definitely use him again.”

“I would HIGHLY recommend Megan for your sitting and/or boarding needs 🤍 My husband and I had to go out of town for 6 days and our puppy is only 6 months old. I had left Charli with a sitter from Rover one afternoon, but wanted someone closer to our home and more experience. Megan is it! The anxiety we had of leaving her was quickly diminished by the photos and constant communication Megan provided. Charli was happy and socializing with other dogs, as she had not been exposed to many dogs previously as young as she is. Megan's property is well thought out with plenty of room to run and play also with a separate "house: for the dogs that can stay in crates to sleep. Charli had such a good time I may just pay to leave her for a play date one afternoon! Thank you, Megan and family! 🙏🏼”

“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!”

“Megan is amazing and just so sweet and good with dogs. I HIGHLY recommend her! I had another pet sitter cancel on me and I needed somebody last minute and she was so gracious to take him and I really appreciated it. She also kept me updated and sent me pictures every day that she had him ❤️ thanks again Megan!”

“Honestly couldn’t be happier! Would definitely recommend them to take care of your fur babies. Great communication, very easy going and flexible and most importantly they truly care for your pets as their own.”

“Brittanie and her family took such good care of our boy while we were away! She sent lots of photos and kept me updated the entire time, our dog loved her yard and being able to run around. She was very quick to communicate and we will be rebooking her in the future!”

“Karla was great! She was so sweet and loving toward my Lucy! Good communication, sent pictures and kept me posted as to how Lucy was doing during her stay. I highly recommend her!”

“Would ABSOLUTELY book again....We have an elderly dog and a youthful one and Iris was amazing with both of them. She was so good with sending pics/videos without me even requesting them. We definitely plan to book with her again. Her home was beautiful as well. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend Iris, she is AWESOME!!!! :)”
“Briana stayed with our two very needy and anxious dogs, she took very great care of them and made them feel comfortable. We are so glad we were able to find her. Thank you very much for your services and we will be booking soon again!”

“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my Max. She sent pictures of him playing with Chester and enjoying life. She made me feel so comfortable leaving him for a week and not feeling concerned at all. I think Max found his new second home when we travel. This is such a blessing as it’s hard to find someone like Mary. Thank you again for making him feel so at home.”
