“Matt and Nicole were terrific. They were very easy-going and sent me daily photos of my dog during several different activities throughout the day including swimming laps in their pool. It was almost like a weekend day spa for my nine year-old chocolate lab who needed the exercise. Their home had a very warm animal loving feel to it.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Mary was wonderful! First time our dog was without us and first time with other dogs. Cali had so much fun. We got pictures and updates. She was well cared for. Will absolutely choose Mary again.”
“This booking was great! They accomodated last minute changes very easy. Yoshi seemed relaxed and himself after the boarding which means he was in good hands.”
“Ania was amazing watching our pup, Tater, over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was so flexible with meet and greet schedules, pick-up and drop-off and quickly eased our anxieties about finding a sitter. She provided so many cute photos and thorough updates every day and made us feel like Tater was part of her family. She treated him like one of her own pets and spoiled him with the cuddles and attention he demands lol. Tater got along well with her two small dogs and her home is so cozy - so many spots for Tater to snuggle up and nap. Do not hesitate to book with Ania if you need a dog sitter!”
“This is my first time using Rover, and Donna made the experience so easy. She took wonderful care of our small dog and eased my nerves by staying in touch with pictures and updates throughout her stay. She even cooked extra food when she ran out. A super sweet gesture. You can tell Donna has genuine love for dogs. My pup is content!”
“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.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with my dogs, Nayla and Simba! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nayla and Simba were both happy, well cared for, and comfortable in her care—it’s clear Amy genuinely loves what she does. She paid attention to all the little details and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would 100% recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and although I was hesitant I’m glad I went through with it. Christian is really gifted at what he does for your pets. He is attentive, extremely patient and will consistently keep you updated about your pet’s wellbeing. I would suggest Christian to look after your pet.”
“Lulu loved her visit with Iris! I definitely recommend using her she loved my baby like it was her own! Iris sent me videos and pictures every day while I was gone which was amazing and she updated me on how Lulu was doing and everything! We will definitely use Iris for future trips ❣️”
“Megan was wonderful and provided a happy and safe environment for our dog while we were traveling. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates and drop off and pick up were a breeze. She and her family definitely have a way with animals, there was no hesitation from our dog upon drop off and they made him immediately feel comfortable. Highly recommend and hope to book another stay for our pup in the future!”
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Bibianas! She even gets excited when we mention her name. Bibiana always provides picture and video updates daily to let us know how things are going. Thank you again for taking such great care of our dog!”
“Highly recommend! From setting up a meet and greet before we left to sending pictures and updates while we were gone. It was such a relief while we were out of state to know our babies were being loved and taken care of.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“Briana was amazing! She is incredibly friendly and my two scaredy-cat pups really took to her! I am grateful that when I can’t be home to take care of them they are in very capable and wonderful hands!”
“Lorena and family did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats; Nala and Simba. I know that the cats were shown a lot of love and they were well fed and cared for during our week away. Both cats were very content with their temporary home and it was obvious that they loved Lorena because they wanted to sleep on her bed to be near her! Thank you Lorena, we really appreciate you opening your home to our furry friends!”
“Jacquelyn and her family where great my Twink fit right in. She was very attractive to my dog and even texted to ask questions. I will be leaving my dog with her again when I go outta town in the future. Thank you so much for you care”

“Joshua was great with our cat and did everything that I requested so our cat was cared for. He sent lots of pictures and notes. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and would book him again!!!”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”
“Matt and Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. It was so great getting pictures everyday and they took so many great ones! It’s nice not having to worry that your pets are fed and taken care of. I’d definitely ask for them again!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years, starting with the barn cats I grew up with and continuing through both personal and professional pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, from playful kittens and independent outdoor cats to seniors requiring renal support, medications, and specialized diets. I also have experience with Sphynx cats and other breeds that require extra attention, skin care, and routine maintenance. My background in veterinary medicine has given me hands-on experience administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Whether your cat needs insulin, a strict feeding schedule, prescription food, raw feeding management, or simply someone who understands that cats like things done their way, I’m happy to help. I know that earning a cat’s trust is different than earning a dog’s, and I always let each cat set the pace. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
“This is the second time I have had this lovely couple babysit my cat while I was out of town! The attention to detail is outstanding and I will continue to re book. I feel extremely at ease leaving town when they are checking on my cat. Thank you again!”

I do my best to make sure I take care of any pets in my care. I'm available all times of the week and weekends. Only times I will not be available as if I have important things that have come to my attention. Such as medical visits and other various important appointments I keep all animals well fed.Make sure they have plenty of time to play.Go on walks and rest with plenty of peting and I make sure any special needs are met for the animals
About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.
“Karla was amazing at taking care of our cat while we were out of town. She did everything we asked of her and I could tell my kitty loved her too! Very communicative and punctual”
About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. I generally just do it as a favor for friends and relatives. I currently own two dogs. I’m good with any age of a dog or cat. I work everyday during the week. However, I do have time on my lunch break to let animals out depending on the distance. I’m free after 4:30 on business days and 3 on weekends. I don’t have a problem staying the night at someone’s house if it’s needed. I cannot currently dog sit at my house due to one of my dogs being aggressive. He’s very slow to warm up and I don’t want to chance it.
“Second time having Megan watch my cats while I was gone and I will use her again and again! Always sends me pictures of my boys, is there on time, and even does little things like feeding my fish or putting my package inside. I appreciate her so much!!”
About: Been working with and caring for animals since I was 8, I have taken care of family and friends places while they take vacation since I was 16, I enjoy being able to help someone in need and this way you can enjoy the time away while you are gone. Pet care fits into my daily routine as needed but it’s easy to work around my schedule, I am able to accommodate personal requests because I understand every animal has it’s different needs. I will do the things that the homeowner request during the service and make sure that the environment is the same as it was when they left. I will play with the animals so they get to enjoy company even though they are away from the owner.
About: I have had my Calico cat for about 2 1/2 years and her name is Sara. She is timid, but loves to be petted. She is petite and beautiful (to me). She has added a lot of love and joy to our home. I have trained her (and our doggy) to get along with each other. I have administered medication (pill form) to Sara when needed. She loves special treats throughout the day!
“Ryan was great with our two babies. Chance can take awhile to warm up to new people but he was extremely patient with him and by the end Chance was happy he was around. Shadow enjoyed having him around but she enjoys everyone. Overall Ryan has the right temperament for taking care of animals of any type and we will definitely book him again for future needs.”
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.
“Lillian was fantastic! Both of my pups absolutely loved her. They got good time with her and she did so well with our big boy. Cannot say enough good things. Will definitely have her sit our dogs again.”

“Maria took my 2 pups at the last minute for a full day of daycare. Both pups have separation anxiety and my Bouvier was recovering from a leg wound - so it was a big ask. Maria was gentle and calm and my pups were immediately put at ease. I highly recommend her. She is lovely and very good with pups.”
“Christian was a great sitter for Frost! He was very responsive and took excellent care of him! Great pictures and updates! He went above and beyond! I’m very thankful and appreciate him for responding on such a short notice.”
“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 ☺️?”

“Joshua was incredible with our pup ! We had a very busy week & had to rely on Joshua to ensure our dog had some stability while we weren’t able to. We felt comfortable with Joshua entering the house with no one home & taking good care of our pup including feeding her after their walk. Thank you Joshua !”

About: Hi there! I'm Lyndsay! I am a 29, and I've been doing this for 8 years, so I am very understanding of what a dog needs, and will always keep their emotions, safety and energy level all into focus for them to have the best time possible that is beneficial to them! I am known to aimlessly walk around the streets of nyc, letting the city call towards different spots it wants me to see, a perfect quality for walking lovely dogs! Now that I have moved to Flordia, I have all of this pent up energy to be around all the amazing flordia dogs that need love and care! I have three family dogs, one older American Eskimo, and two Border Collies under the age of 4, meaning I am still pretty equip and up to date with handling puppies. My baby sister turns 18 in May and is a type 1 diabetic! Through this experience, I want to help find her the perfect diabetic dog to aid in her growth! I used to have a senior dog who passed away from cancer (bless his soul) but in his final stages, we crafted such a lovely last year of his life through love, support and comfort. This meant, taking medications, being fragile and cautious, but above all, find the love in his heart. I can't wait to meet, play and love your furry friends :) I have a very relaxed schedule, so I am easily accommodating and eager to help out! This is a full time job for me, as I have had over 200 clients over the past 8 years, juggling both this Wag! and personal clients. I have a fenced yard and 3 other dogs inside of my own family home! If they want friendship, we can have playtime. If not, I can crate my own if needed for the safety of everyone involved!
About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.

If you are a pet parent you know how important it is to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to care for your pet who is like your child.

About: Animals have been a joyful part of my life for over 30 years. I’ve cared for many kinds of pets, but most importantly dogs and cats. Over the years I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, volunteered with animal rescues, and worked for a local veterinarian for a couple of years which I loved! I truly believe animals give us unconditional love, and caring for them brings me great happiness. I am dependable, trustworthy, and prompt, and I will take great pride in caring for your pets with the same attention, patience, and kindness that I give my own. When you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and treated like family. Pet care, for me, is part of my daily life at home! I will look forward to taking care of your fur family members with great care when you’re away. I currently have two awesome dogs named Rue and Liz and 1 turtle named Pearl. Animals are a part of who I am! I care for my pets as if they were my children. My dogs are inside most of the time with plenty of backyard fun including, playing fetch, frisbee, bath time, which they love, and walks around the neighborhood. My cat Spencer passed away at 21yrs old recently; he was the heart of our fur family and he knew it! Towards his later days he required daily medication and with extra love and care he spent his final days peacefully at home. He was dearly loved and yours will be also. You can trust that when I’m at your home your feline or pup will be cared for as if they were my own!
“Karla has been a Godsend! One of my dogs is very difficult and she has him so well behaved. I don't knows what we would've done if we hadn't found her. It would've required renting a car and taking the doggies with us. Karla the best thing that's happened for us. 5 out of 5 for sure!”
About: I have been around multiple pets throughout my life. I have many families and friends that have trusted me to take care of their pets. I am currently not working and have the time to care and play with your pets when you are needing someone to drop by and give your fur baby some attention I will drop by and give your fur baby the attention they are needing when you are unable to be home. you can count on me😁
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and animal lover my entire life, caring for both dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for multiple pets, including those adopted, rescued, or entrusted to me by others. At one point, I lovingly managed a household of five pets, ensuring each received attentive, compassionate care. My experience also includes caring for a beloved dog left to me by a close friend, honoring his wish that I provide a safe and loving home. Today, I continue that same level of care by helping my son and his wife with their dogs whenever they travel—my “granddogs,” who I adore. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and genuine affection when it comes to pet care. I am now excited to extend that care to others in my community, offering reliable, attentive support for pet owners who need assistance while traveling or during busy workdays. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your pets—they will be treated like family. I'm currently retired I retired from the federal government working for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters after 33 years of service. I've been enjoying travel and visiting with family and friends and when I'm home I thought I could do some things that I enjoy and help other people that may need or want to travel or just need help with their fur babies 🐕🐾🐈⬛️🐈 I currently do this for my son and his wife when they want to travel the world or have business trips with my granddogs 👑🐾😆🐕 For clients that need assistance with pet sitting, I usually love to have an outline of what you prefer so that I can honor the type care that you also provide your pets. I follow an outline when I care for my family's pets when they travel and they provide the list of the vitamins or any quarks or anything that I need to know a timeline and I just try to honor whoever needs care by how they would like the care handled while they are away. The main thing is that I don't want anybody to worry when I'm caring for their pets. You should be able to travel and handle business trips or vacations without worrying if you're not able to take your pet with you that they're safe and well cared for. I also like to make notes daily,if I'm giving vitamins or supplements or anything occurs I want to share. I like to keep track of it and leave that sheet for you when you return.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over five years now. My family and friends rely on me when they go out of town or call me when they need advice on how to care for their pets :) I work fives days a week Monday-Friday 5a-1:30p and I’m off on the weekends so that leaves plenty of time to spend relaxing around the house or running around the yard or whatever else they may fancy I live in a large house with a huge fenced in yard that all the doggies love! So there’s plenty of space for the furry friends to frolic and just be happy and play
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I currently have 4 dogs in my household that I take care of. I foster animals for the SPCA in my home. I currently work at an animal hospital caring for boarding pets. I am very passionate about helping animals and giving them the love they deserve. I am currently a college student working towards my veterinarian degree. I currently work part-time so I do have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pups! My schedule does vary through June, but most days I am available after 3pm and have some full days off during the week. In my home, I have 4 well trained dogs and a fenced in backyard. I have plenty of extra space for a quite environment away from the other dogs.
“Ashley is wonderful! She is reliable, which is great for working pet parents! Tucker loves when Ashley comes to play with him. She loves my pet like her own, I can’t thank her enough for all she does for Tucker. Look no further for your pet care needs!”
About: I have always had fur babies growing up, and have three dogs of my own now! I love taking care of all animals big and small and have experience with all. I can walk, play, and administer any medications that are needed as. I look forward to meeting all our fur babies! I have a pretty flexible schedule and lots of availability during the week and weekends. If you have any questions about my schedule and availability feel free to reach out. When taking care of your pets in your home I try to keep the same routine as if you were home. I will feed at specific times, walk at specific times, administer medications at specific times, and make sure they are always safe. I will keep you updated with everything and send pictures!

“Matt and Nicole were terrific. They were very easy-going and sent me daily photos of my dog during several different activities throughout the day including swimming laps in their pool. It was almost like a weekend day spa for my nine year-old chocolate lab who needed the exercise. Their home had a very warm animal loving feel to it.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Mary was wonderful! First time our dog was without us and first time with other dogs. Cali had so much fun. We got pictures and updates. She was well cared for. Will absolutely choose Mary again.”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and although I was hesitant I’m glad I went through with it. Christian is really gifted at what he does for your pets. He is attentive, extremely patient and will consistently keep you updated about your pet’s wellbeing. I would suggest Christian to look after your pet.”
“Lulu loved her visit with Iris! I definitely recommend using her she loved my baby like it was her own! Iris sent me videos and pictures every day while I was gone which was amazing and she updated me on how Lulu was doing and everything! We will definitely use Iris for future trips ❣️”
“Megan was wonderful and provided a happy and safe environment for our dog while we were traveling. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates and drop off and pick up were a breeze. She and her family definitely have a way with animals, there was no hesitation from our dog upon drop off and they made him immediately feel comfortable. Highly recommend and hope to book another stay for our pup in the future!”
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Bibianas! She even gets excited when we mention her name. Bibiana always provides picture and video updates daily to let us know how things are going. Thank you again for taking such great care of our dog!”
“Highly recommend! From setting up a meet and greet before we left to sending pictures and updates while we were gone. It was such a relief while we were out of state to know our babies were being loved and taken care of.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“Briana was amazing! She is incredibly friendly and my two scaredy-cat pups really took to her! I am grateful that when I can’t be home to take care of them they are in very capable and wonderful hands!”
“Jacquelyn and her family where great my Twink fit right in. She was very attractive to my dog and even texted to ask questions. I will be leaving my dog with her again when I go outta town in the future. Thank you so much for you care”
“Skye is the best, my Neo took to her immediately and she made sure not only that he was well looked after but that he had so much fun. Got regular updates and pics and Neo giving her a goodbye hug was the sweetest. We were (almost) worried he wouldn’t want to come back. She also picked him and dropped him and gave him a bath, she went beyond what we expected so big thank you Skye!”
“Every time my dog stays with Chris, he’s upset at me for picking him back up 😅. He’s clearly having a great time and is always well taken care of so we’re repeat customers for as long as he’ll have us.”
“Angelica was wonderful. She took exceptional care of my pet. I felt so comfortable leaving Punkin with her. She treated her like she was part of her family!! Thank you so much. I will definitely trust you with my pet for any future vacations.”
“Andrea was an amazing sitter for Cosmo. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me lots of pictures. I could tell Cosmo had an amazing time, played so much, and got lots of love!”
