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!

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 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!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Vanessa provided for our dog, Gus! He had an amazing time playing with other dogs, getting spoiled with trips to the dog park, pup cups, and even celebrating at a pup birthday party with dog-friendly treats. Vanessa made sure Gus was happy, active, and loved every minute of his stay — he was truly on vacation just as much as we were! She also sent us plenty of photos, updates, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel like we were right there with him. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We already have another trip planned and will absolutely be booking with her again!

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.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and very proud cat enthusiast, I know that every cat has their own unique personality—whether they’re social lap cats, playful explorers, or independent observers. I believe cats deserve patient, attentive care that respects their routines and helps them feel safe and comfortable while their people are away. For years, I’ve cared for the cats of family and friends, providing everything from feeding and playtime to companionship, medication administration, and plenty of affection on their terms. I understand that cats thrive in familiar surroundings, which is why I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure. Whether your cat loves interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply having someone keep their routine consistent, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your kitty is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and earning the approval of even the most discerning cats!

Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)

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.

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.

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.

I have top secret security clearance and many missions under my belt. My passion now is animals. I am currently an SPCA foster parent to both dogs and cats. No job is too big or too small when caring for your pet. Whether they have medical needs or just need a happy face to lick, I can take care of it all. I am available day or night with total peace of mind everything will be cared for. I live in South Lakeland. I am retired and available for boarding, client home boarding and care, pet walks and visits. I'm available any day and time. I will answer all requests as soon as I see them. I live alone in a small and safe community, with little traffic, which makes it safe for walks. I have a unfenced yard but I take great care allowing the dog to have freedom in the yard while being on a leash. I have access to a fenced in dog "play" area in my community. My home is non-smoking, cozy, and quiet. I keep the home air cool to provide comfort for the animals. I maintain constant contact with your loved one to know they are safe and happy. I will provide daily texts and photos of the pet, to the owner, to show they are safe and happy.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

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 grew up with a dad who had a special interest in dogs & dog training (does the name Cesar Millan mean anything to you 😏) & we ALWAYS had pets in the house. 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! If ur looking for someone safe & trustworthy to keep an eye on your fur babies, I’m ur gal ;) Can’t wait 2 chat! Talk soon! Xx I work from home and create my own schedule!! 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!

I have always been told I am better with animals than people. With a lot of exposure to animals growing up in Venezuela, I have a true love for caring. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a lot of free/down time to play, walk, nurture and cuddle. Can also potty train. Living next to a dog park

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me genuine joy. As a lifelong lover of both cats and dogs, I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. For over 25 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I've even travelled across the country to pet sit; that's how much I love it. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, giving lots of belly rubs, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routines, quirks, and favorite activities. Whether your dog loves adventure or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust time and time again. Now that I’m retired from my profession in law enforcement, I have the time and flexibility to do something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, and I love spending my days walking dogs, playing with pets, and giving cats and dogs the love and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day, ensuring your pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and personalized attention while you’re away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. At this time, I’m unable to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure and can maintain their normal routines. When staying in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and favorite activities to help reduce stress while their owners are away. As a retired law enforcement professional with 20 years of experience, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet-sitting experience. I treat both pets and homes with the utmost respect and care, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their furry family members are safe, happy, and loved.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a dog and two cats and honestly, I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a furry friend by my side. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, from family pets to farm animals, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. Now that I’m a college student, I really miss having animals around, so I’m excited to share my love and care with your pets! Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll always make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved! I am currently in a social work graduate program, so I am in an internship during the weekdays 9am-4pm. I can usually work around those times, and I try to be as flexible as I can, so please reach out even if my calendar says I’m not available! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two friendly cats (who can easily be separated if needed), a screened-in patio perfect for lounging, and access to a dog park and safe walking trail nearby. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I’m comfortable following any specific care routines or instructions you provide, and I’m also very intuitive when it comes to understanding an animal’s needs and emotions. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to make them feel secure while you’re away, I’m happy to provide that love and attention.

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.

Angie was delightful to work with. She responded quickly, communicated well, and was very comfortable with our 10 pound poodle and her quirks. Price was very fair. She is definitely our go-to person in the future.

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!

She took my dog in last minute and made him feel right at home. She was incredibly sweet and caring, and it was clear my baby felt comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the updates she provided throughout the stay — they gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.

We had never left our enthusiastic year old lab with anyone other than family but Megan welcomed Ozzie and returned him to us in good condition and seemingly happy. I would bring Ozzie back again.

Cherisse was great, she gave me consistent updates with pictures and treated my dog like family. I was nervous leaving my dog behind but Cherisse always made me feel like he was in great hands. When I picked him up she had given him a bath and had a cute bandanna on him. I will definitely be contacting her again when I need a sitter. Thank you again Cherisse you and your husband where great !

They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.

Brianna was great. I met up with her at her home. She took the time to show me around. Made my wife feel comfortable with leaving for dog with her for the stay. This was a first for us using Rover. We were thrilled with the communication & photos provided. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.

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!!!! :)
