Personalized care for your dog or cat - McAlpin

“Kelly and her family were a great place for Finn to stay for a week!! He came home and was so bored with just me!!!! Haha Communication was great for the whole week! I’d have no problem leaving Finn with them again!!!”

“Brooke was fantastic with our two dogs. They stayed with her two nights while we were out of town and we could not be happier with our experience. Brooke was very responsive and answered all of our questions before our dogs stayed. During our stay Brooke was excellent with both our younger, more active dog as well as our older dog who needs a little help getting up sometimes and has daily medications that must be administered. Our dogs were so happy and wonderfully exhausted after their visit and we would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking to leave their dogs in a happy, safe, and caring home while traveling. We expect that we will use Brooke again in the future.”

“Trudy was absolutely wonderful! Communication was always quick, clear, and professional. She sent daily photos of Charlie, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. It was clear he was being well taken care of and enjoying himself. I felt completely confident leaving him in her hands. I would highly recommend Trudy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have 19 years experience as a veterinarian assistant. I have experience with administering medications . I can express bladders for pets who are paralyzed. I can assist disabled pets to and from outside. I have experience with pets with cognitive dysfunction, and other special needs. I am transitioning into being available during the daytime on weekdays except for Wednesdays at this time . I will be home every night unless otherwise pre-rescheduled. I will be available every other weekend day and night. I am new to Rover and New to boarding at home, but have had 19 years experience with taking care of pets in a boarding facility/veterinary clinic. I have a fenced in yard where your pet can play a go potty. I have Central air inside where your pet can rest comfortably either free to wonder or kennel, depending on their preference. I have two small friendly dogs and a 3 outside cats that all get their monthly preventative on time, and are all up-to-date on their vaccinations.

About: My mother use to work in a kennel, she taught me everything I know about animals. I've taken care of lots of dogs and cats. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs for years until I moved, we had our family dog for a very long time sadly he passed away a year ago to old age. I'm a new mother of currently a 1 year old and having trouble finding work. I figure walking dogs and/or cats can still give me lots of time to spend with my daughter and make some money. I'm available almost always. I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Some of our neighbors have dogs that are friendly. Plenty of grass area and we do lots of walking around the block.

About: Friends and family have gifted me opportunity to learn of and care for their cats over the years. I have experience in how they play, the space they may need, the strict feeding routine, and cleaning litter boxes.

“Melissa was great with our cat Zuko! She sent lots of pics and it was great knowing he was in reliable good hands.”

About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.

“Pauline took good care of my dog. She has a very large fenced yard to let the dogs get plenty of fun time”

“Alejandra took excellent care of our dog while we paddled at Ichetucknee springs. Our girl is shy of other dogs, and Alejandra made sure she had her own comfortable space. Highly recommend.”

About: I have parented dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for over 30 years. I love all animals and would care for almost any type. Same day availability. I’m retired and available any time. I work part time remotely as an accountant. I have a fenced yard, a garage, and an extra bedroom. I will spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I speak all species of cat and dog, but I’m not fluent in bird. 🤭😉

About: It's a natural thing to have a dog in my family and I've had the honor to raise my own for quite some time. Through all the trials and triumphs, I've learned the skills so they live like family. The only question they may have is, what's a pet? I am a college student who has taken some time from work to settle in. My schedule on the weekly is consistent, so allow me to fit you in. I have two of my own and outside of my care there is always someone I can count on and that allows me the gift to give forward. I have a fenced in yard along with free range opportunity. Crates are available. Attention is given and dietary restrictions will be followed. Toys are allowed and will be returned. In my home we take long walks, we free feed, there are several sleeping arrangements, baths are given, toys are shared, we take car rides, my dogs enjoy hunting, and I enjoy painting their nails.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Young professional with only 2 years of experience loving and caring for friends and family members pets just as i would my own, all ranging from cats, dogs, and even reptiles:) I am currently working part time, and my schedule is open everyday after 12pm, so i will have lots of time and attention for your fur babies! I treat every home with care, respect, and dignity. i believe keeping a clean environment is important in providing a calm stress environment for your pets. I make sure to place preventative measures from animals escaping by securing doors and following all home guidelines. I also would like to note that i stay in constant communication to relieve my clients of any stress.

“Really patient with my active dog. She has plenty of experience with Healer breeds like my Tink and knows how to keep her entertained. Tink is a happier pup when Brittany spends time with her. Fully recommend!”

About: Taken care of all ages. All kinds of animals! I love spending time with animals! Will cater to whatever they need! Very flexible with scheduling. I currently work as an ER nurse, three days a week, I am free the other four and love spending it pet sitting. Very flexible schedule I currently live in an rv while I'm traveling nursing and have a dog and two cats of my own so I don't offer boarding at this time, but will care for pets in any other way possible

“Bianca is such a caring, thoughtful, and patient person. It was our first time being apart from our little guy in very long time but Bianca was understanding and had a great energy that helped us feel assured he’d be in good hands. Within an hour she’d sent us updates and we could already see Mylo felt right at home alongside her, her daughter, and her dog Kasha – who is also very gentle, loving, and got along well with our pup. Throughout the sit Bianca kept in touch with us regularly so we always felt at ease and could enjoy our trip, which meant a lot. We returned to find our little buddy being his typical jolly self and could tell he also got to enjoy a little adventure of his own! It was our first time using Rover or trusting someone new with our sweet boy but we’re so grateful we found Bianca! We’d definitely use her in the future and 100% recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind and attentive to look after their fur babies!”
