About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec”
“Superb service. Jeanne is so patient and loving to all the pets. She treats them all like family and her own. She is 24/7 and ensures your family pet is well taken care of during the entire stay . Jeanne is both knowledgeable on caring for pets and is a worth of information on maintaining the best treatment and training for animals. Without hesitation the best sitter found and highly recommend her service.”

“Holly was great with our pups! She ran over to be with them when we had a last minute change of plans. We really appreciated her care and attention to our fur babies! Definitely recommend!”
“We had the unfortunate situation of a hurricane sneaking up on us during this trip. They were fantastic! They were exceptionally communicative and let me know what the overall situation was at home as well as going out just before and then again not long after to check on my pets. They even got my extremely skittish car, that talks to no one, to come out and play most days.”

“Hailey is amazing. She was very communicative. She was on time and mostly what I appreciate about Hailey is how much she enjoyed being with my animals. I felt completely comfortable leaving town with Hailey in charge. I will use her again.”
“Maria was fantastic! She is very caring, was very respectful of our home, on time, and made sure to keep everything clean. She has a very sweet personality as well. I have had multiple people from Rover over the years and had some great people and some not so great. I rate Maria up at the top. Do not let her newness to Rover dissuade you from hiring her. You will be happy you had her caring for your fur babies.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, so I understand how different each one can be. I have two cats of my own a tabby and a black cat, so I’m used to their routines and making sure they feel comfortable in their space. I’ve fostered a couple of cats and have pet sat for friends and family over the years. That’s taught me patience and how to adjust to each cat’s personality, especially ones that need a little more time to feel safe. I make sure they’re fed, their space is clean, and they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m calm, reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your cat is being well cared for.

“Erin was very accommodating and took great care with Boddie. So appreciate her willingness to take Boddie on short notice for a few hours while we visited someone in an assisted living facility. Definitely recommend Erin and her family to care for your fur baby.”
“Anne was exceptional! She took the time to meet with me and my dog, Cali, to review any special needs etc and took detailed notes. Since my dog has separation anxiety, Anne took the time to work with us on a few techniques to make sure Cali was comfortable. Anne shared some training video links with me so I can work on these with Cali at home. She certainly went well above and beyond any expectations I had and I’m looking forward to having her sit Cali again in the future. It’s clear that Anne is a professional and is concerned with her client’s comfort as well as the dog’s individual needs. Cali loved playing with Bentley and I know she enjoyed her day with Anne. A+++++”
“I couldn’t have picked a better couple to watch my two girls from Ohio while vacationing in Florida. We decided to bring the girls with us while vacationing, and came upon this site, and decided to give it a try. Big back yard for the girls to run, and the couple even sent us pics playing ball with the girls. Got there to pick them up, and it was like they were right at home . If you are looking for dog care I HIGHLY recommend Glenda and Greg !! Thank you again Glenda and Greg Malinda and Jeff Foster / Pepper and Chili”
“I’m happy to have met Denise and Brett who took care of our doodle bear Luna! I know she had a fun-filled stay with them! They were communicative throughout the day with her care and activities.

“I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾”

About: ✔️Availability: July 10 - Nov 30, 2026 Hi 👋 New here! I am a passionate animal lover and am experienced sitting all kinds of dogs and cats all over the US and abroad. Over the past few years, my husband and I have been traveling across the US taking care of dogs and cats (on TrustedHouseSitters) and seeing this beautiful country. We are residents of Venice, Florida and as much as we wish to own pets, the travel-bug in us prevents us from doing so. Hence, I signed up for Rover! Traveling or not, I wish to spend most of my time in the healing company of animals, so I am here to make more new furry friends while looking after them! (Please see the screenshots of some of my THS reviews on my Rover profile - I have 20+ 5-star reviews on THS) I work from home so I can care for your pet in my home any day of the week. I am also available to house sit if my schedule permits. I live in Gran Paradiso. My home is spacious and backyard is framed with a lanai, so your fur baby will be completely safe here. We also have beautiful grounds for walking dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and can attend to your pet as per your requirement. Happy to discuss your pet’s routine and specific needs to ensure best care is provided for your fur baby.
About: Hi, I’m Dawn! I’m a lifelong animal lover, professional animal trainer with over 30 years of experience, and an animal talent agent who works from home. Through my company, Pawsitively Famous, I supply professionally trained animals for film, TV, print, and live events. You may have seen my work on Animal Planet—including DOGS 101, CATS 101, and America’s Cutest—and recently on Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala on CBS. Living in Venice, FL, I offer a calm, safe, and loving home environment for your pets while you’re away. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of one-on-one attention and create a relaxed, stress-free stay for every guest. Why I Love Dog Sitting I’m a huge dog lover, and since I can’t have 10 of my own, I love welcoming houseguests! It brings me joy to give pet parents peace of mind that their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. Experience Administering Medication I’m comfortable giving daily pills, topical treatments, or other medications. Your pet’s health and routine are always my priority. Resident Dogs My two resident dogs, Buzz and Little Miss Hollywoof, love welcoming new furry friends—whether they feel like playing or prefer to just relax. Because I work remotely from home, pet care is naturally part of my day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, I host only one or two dogs at a time so each guest gets plenty of attention and a calm, low-stress environment. Dogs have access to comfy beds, cozy spaces, and my fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I don’t accept dogs with separation anxiety or severe behavior issues, so everyone here can feel safe and relaxed. When staying in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
“Carrie and her husband Mike did a great job taking care of Peaches for an afternoon while we were on vacation in the area. She got plenty of attention and exercise too. They have no pets of their own at present so are a great choice if you want your fur-baby to have 1:1 attention.”

About: I have always had dogs of my own with my husband in our own home. Now I am single again and renting a home. Walking and loving all animals is something I am mindful of on a daily basis. Walking other dog owner's fur babies makes sense now. It's fun, easy, and helpful for those who need help taking care of their own from time to time. I have been retired since April 1st 2022. Not working full time has given me the opportunity for diversity in my daily activities. I walk anyway and enjoy sharing my walks with others- both 2 and 4 legged beings of all ages and backgrounds. I can care for pets in their own homes. I do not currently have the ability to have pets in my home. I strive to leave things, people, and beings better than I find them.

Look forward to meeting you and them soon :) I am a full time server as well as a student so my schedule varies and can be long hours of being away from the home. I will care for your pets as if they were mine. I like to get to know their routine so we can keep it as close to normal as possible while you’re gone so that it goes smoothly while you’re away. I can update you with plenty of photos or videos if that is more comforting for you as well.
About: My parents were the co-founders of Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto. My first home had a kennel attached to it, and my first loves were animals. I have personally trained over 20 dogs (my own, friends, and family), as well as pet sat for over 20 years (friends and family). Your animals will be treated as my own, with unconditional love and attention. We currently have a pack of 5, 3 dogs, and 2 cats, all rescues. I am currently looking to begin my own pet-sitting service. I am eager, ambitious, kind, and mature. I will send pictures, texts, and updates throughout the length of time I am caring for your fur-babies. I believe all animals should be treated with kindness, genuineness, love, and understanding. Choose me as your go-to pet sitter, walker, or check-in person and you will not be disappointed.
About: Growing up on a farm as an only child, I learned early how to bond with animals. I understand them and they understand me. We always have a personal connection. I’m a work at home insurance broker. I make my own schedule and take plenty of breaks for my furry friends. My office door is always open. Literally! I take the responsibility of taking care of other people’s pets as seriously as I do taking care of my own. I’ve taken care of puppies, seniors and even special-needs animals and all of my owners have been happy with many repeat customers.

“We are so happy we came across Suzanne and her sweet family! She is so well organized and on top of everything. We know our dog was in such good hands. She gave him so much love and always sent us pics and updates on how he was doing! We can’t thank you enough, it’s so hard to trust someone with your animals and Suzanne and her family have a heart of gold for them !”
“Lisa did a great job with my dog Charlotte. Charlotte enjoyed playing with Lisa's dog in their yard and interacting with Lisa and her family. If anything Charlotte's behavior was even better after staying with Lisa. Would definitely use her again”
“2nd time booking and yoki obviously loves staying here. Minute i dropped him off, he was excited to go in the house. I could see he is well taken care of. Jen is attentive with how my dog is which is I like”
“Joyce is a very dedicated, professional and above all, she really loves dogs! Our dog, Jake, loves his adventures walking with her. She is incredibly attentive and asks thoughtful, detailed questions...Jake got a little sick, and she handled the situation calmly and responsibly... The level of communication and care meant so much. Jake adores her and we do too!! Joyce is a blessing, has a kind spirit and it shows in her love of animals. To be able to leave our dog in such good care, really puts our minds at ease.”
“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”
“Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P”
“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“Monica has watched Lucy a few times and she is great about sending updates and pictures. This last stay she contacted me my Freshpet food was moldy. She went to 3,stores to find food for Lucy. In the middle of this I told her to just feed her some chicken. Monica insisted on finding the right food for Lucy. She was truly concerned about our dogs well being. I so appreciate her! ❤️”
“My pup’s tail wagged with excitement when she recognized she was at Lana’s! Knowing that she was getting lots of snuggles and in a safe and comfortable home while we were away made leaving her for seven days a whole lots easier. She loves having the company of other dogs too! Ty”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“What an amazing experience! Jennifer was incredibly kind and kept me updated on my baby throughout the entire time. She sent numerous pictures, which reassured me that my baby was doing great. This was the first time I left her for an extended period, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec”
