“Jennifer provided excellent care of our dogs while we left the area for some vaca! The excellent care included things like instilling eye ointment to our shih tzu, providing us with updates and even sending us videos of their day. Would definitely recommend her when needing your fur babies left in exceptional hands which reduces your stress while on your retreat or staycation.”

“Barbara was fantastic ! we would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. She was very accommodating and even provided video updates that reassured us our fur baby was in good hands.”

“Bob was exceptional..He kept me informed on how my Billy Biscuit was doing and sent pictures..His dogs were very accepting of my boy..we will definitely use his services again”


“We are so grateful to Jeanne! She took care of our Yorkie while we went out of town for 5 nights. Jeanne was very flexible and made us feel so comfortable about leaving our senior dog with her. Jeanne sent pictures of our dog every day and was so easy to talk to. We highly recommend her!”

“Cappuccino enjoyed his stay. He really enjoyed playing with the other dogs and frequent exercise. Monica took excellent care of Cappuccino, with him being hesitant to leave. Would not hesitate to use her again!”


“Jasper loved his time with Kimber and her family! True professional at what she does and I’m so thankful she was able to take great care of Jasper while I was away. Fantastic communication with daily pictures/videos and she even sent Jasper home with what is now his favorite toy. Highly recommend!”


“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”


“My first time leaving Gus with Kathy and her and her husband made him feel right at home, he had a blast there. They sent pictures to keep me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely be leaving him there again.”
“I had concerns after having to board our pets in the past. Floyd was able to watch our dogs on short notice and kept me up to date with messages and photos. They received a lot of attention vs just boarding at a kennel. I really appreciate the care that was given and Floyd will be my first choice if I need someone to babysit in the future.”

“Barley loves staying with Michelle and Dane. Michelle is amazing with pictures, videos, and updates. They are also great with accommodating last minute changes in travel time.”


“Where do I begin? Natalie has been so wonderful, in the past and for this most recent stay (8 nights). We received photos, a video montage/slide show, and the most adorable full sheet of little stories about what Poppi did, didn’t do, and other fun things. Natalie was very flexible, both our departure and return times changed, and she was very agreeable to the changes- and happily accommodated said changes. Natalie’s daughter totally embraced Poppi’s loving nature (I.e. lots of licky kisses!) which was above and beyond. I hate to provide such a glowing review because I’d selfishly like to keep her all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair! All dogs deserve to be loved and cared for as my Poppi has been. Thank you Natalie (and family)!”

“Angela was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute when we discovered our cat couldn't stay with us at our Airbnb. She kept us updated every single day with sweet notes and photos of our cat, Marbles. She and her young daughter took such wonderful care of him, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely be using her services again whenever I need a competent, caring, and reliable sitter! 5/5 stars!”

“Very happy that we found Teri to watch our Oliver. He was well taken care of and loved. She has a wonderful home for the dogs to feel comfortable in with access to a fenced backyard. She was attentive to Oliver and his sensitivity to thunder and lightening. Would highly recommend Teri and her services. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Wonderful doggy stay!! Sends lots of videos and pictures so you feel at ease that your little fur baby is well cared for. Really great drop off system. Highly recommend!! We won’t go anywhere else.”


“Robin P was the best person I could’ve chosen to watch my dog Spencer. Spencer loved being with her and she sent me videos and text daily to let me know how Spencer was doing! She treated Spencer like it was her own dog, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Spencer for us while we were out of town! We have actually booked her again for the beginning of the year when we go on a cruise! Thank you Robin for doing such a great job with our fur baby!!”

“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”

“Cher is wonderful! This was my first experience using this service. I'm visiting from out of town and had to go out of town for a few days. Cher responded to my request quickly. Cher and me a text msg while there with my cat, she sent several short videos, she even cleaned up the mess the cat made with his food. I 10/10 recommend Cher!”

“Abby came in to cover for the last 2 days of our vacation. The cats were fine and everything was in great shape for us when we arrived home. We so enjoyed the pictures she sent so we knew the boys were happy with her. Hoping she’ll be available when we need a cat sitter/house sitter in the future.”

About: Since the age of seven, I have nurtured a passion for caring for animals, growing up in an environment surrounded by livestock and participating in animal shows. Additionally, I have gained experience as a veterinary technician assistant at an animal hospital. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine involves feeding, walking, and playing with clients pets. Weekly, I able to give quality time to ensure their well-being and happiness. Caring for pets in my home and clients' homes typically includes providing adequate food and fresh water, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, maintaining cleanliness by tidying living areas, administering medications if needed, and offering companionship and attention to meet their emotional needs. For clients, I also tailor care to their specific instructions and routines, ensuring a consistent environment for the pets while their owners are away.

About: I've taken care of cats of any kind since I was 10 years old, and currently own a hairless cat myself so I understand the different kinds of care different kinds of cats need. I personally love cats so much and love learning their personalities and whatever specific needs they require in order to live their happiest life.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”

“Jeanne was the absolute best! She welcomed my little guy so enthusiastically into her lovely home and sent photos throughout his visit. Atlas had a great time and got along well with her fur babies. I had no concerns whatsoever. Highly recommend!”

“We were very happy with the care Cosmo received from Barbara. She welcomed him into their home and treated him like their own. She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. I will be using her again when the need arises.”


“Poppi had a wonderful time yesterday with Natalie and her daughter!! She came home happy and exhausted from so much play : )! Poppi looks forward to her next visit with Natalie and her family, and it makes me feel so good knowing that she will be in a safe and loving environment.”


“Layla has a wonderful experience with Kimber. Layla has some special needs and Kimber was attentive a loving. Layla was so happy when I picked her up. Tha k you Kimber!!”

“Anne is great with Lola! I really feel comfortable leaving her with Anne and am very confident that she will take great care of my senior pup. I will definitely book with Anne again and highly recommend her!”

“Teri is wonderful. She is one of the best sitters I have found on Rover. She was quick to respond, very friendly, and sweet and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a good heart, I can tell. Her husband, Ken enjoyed having Bella there, too. He talked to her and gave her treats. He used to have a Bella. They said, Bella is welcome back anytime. Even said that she would be Bella's Grandma #2! They treated her like she was their own. We will be going back, we are actually going back today for day camp and we will be boarding with her. We love our Bella and will not leave her with just anyone. With them, we do not have to worry about her at all. We are originally from Tennessee and still have family there. So, I like to have several people that I can rely on to watch Bella, just in case we have a family emergency. We rescued that loan when she was 5 months old and she has been socializing since she is a four-year-old Goldendoodle, and she has a lot of energy so, she does well with going to day camp twice a week, sometimes three times. Teri will definitely be my go to! It's rate them a 10 🌟, if I could. Thank y'all so much!!”

“Erin and Stephen were great and treated Scooby like their own baby. Great communication and always kept us up to date with video and pictures. Would use them again next time we're in the area.”

Our goal is to give your dog a safe, relaxed, loving home-away-from-home where they’re treated like part of the family until you return.

“We are so grateful to have found Taylor to take care of our fur baby Bowser. He has really bad separation anxiety so he can’t be left alone.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all different breeds for over 20 years starting with family, friends and neighborhood dogs when I was around 10. I’ve personally owned Pitbulls, Great Danes,Rottweilers, Schnauzers and Malteses. I currently have 2 cats so I am even comfortable with them! But at the end of the day I’m comfortable with all animals. Feeding, walking, bathing and just everyday care is not a problem for me! I currently work full-time but I am off work at 3 pm everyday so my whole afternoon is available. My off days are Sunday and Tuesday which I am completely available for. I know it’s hot here in southwest Florida and your pets care and safety in this hot sun is the most important for me! I know how hard it can be on their paws and how quickly some breeds can overheat.
About: I love pet sitting. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 and have owned family pets my entire life. I walk a lot so will take your dog on many walks through the day. I have a yoga business and teach a few sunrise and sunset classes during the week that are an hour each. So with traffic I can be gone about 3 hours some days. I also have drop in-s for other pets which last about an hour. Please make it clear how long your animal is able to be alone when booking so there’s no confusion. I love pets more than people! I give them all my praise but I’m also strict and don’t let them indulge in human food. Hope we can work together 🫶🏼 I have my own business and am never gone for more than a few hours at a time. I teach hour long yoga classes so gone about 2 and a half hours with commute and set up time! I always do a meet and greet so I know where I’m staying, where the dog food is and how everything works, like when trash day is etc.
About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.
