About: I’m a dog person. I’ve never been without a dog and have owned many breeds; A Chihuahua, German Sheppard, cockapoo, English Springer Spaniel, mixed breeds, Jack Russell Shortie. I love them all. Currently I own a 15 year old senior Corgi and an 18 month old long haired Mini Dachshund puppy. I can’t get enough of dogs. I have also dog sat for many neighbors and family. My daughter owns two very active Australian Sheppards and they love me! because I am retired and home full-time i can shower your fur babies with love, attention and activities. Please save me from owning too many dogs by allowing me to invite your pup(s) into my home! I am retired and I do volunteer work, about 10 hours a week. I have a senior dog who requires eye drops and a special diet. In addition my youngster dachshund has completed puppy training, house training and socialization. She loves to play, if you have a puppy, my home is puppy proof and I will help you work on housebreaking. I have a large home with a fenced yard. I have two well socialized and pet friendly dogs. A 15 year old Corgi and an 18 month old mini dachshund. My dogs are crate trained. Visiting dogs can be crate trained or free to roam the house. On furniture is fine, but I will adhere to your rules. I do not allow dogs in my bed.
“Fantastic care for our older pup. Dawn was communicative and a breeze to work with. She obviously cares deeply about the welfare of the animals she looks after and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Cody as my sitter. From the start, he was responsive and reassuring. During the stay, he sent frequent updates complete with adorable photos, which made a huge difference in calming my nerves about leaving my pet behind. Everything went smoothly, and my Haitta was clearly comfortable and loved. Cody is reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll be rebooking with him for sure on my next getaway!”

She cleaned up after our 2 cats in ways I never asked for n when we got home everything I thought I'd have to do right away was done!!!

About: I am cat person any day ! Growing up I had 4 cats of my own . 2 boys and 2 girls ! A mom and her 3 kittens ! I have experience in caring for female cats on their cycle , cats who are blind or deaf, and taking care of senior cats ! I love bonding with cats especially the shy ones haha! But of course enjoy my cats with the zoomies and crazy climbing ! I have 3 years payed experience with cats !
“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they receive patient, gentle care while you’re away. I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer oral medications if needed, offer playtime or cuddles (if they want them!), and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return.
“Julie was fabulous and went above and beyond for my two cats. Really grateful to have found her to care for my pets while I was out of town for a week. My cats are typical cats but were happy and litter boxes were clean when I got home. Thanks again Julie!”
“Naomi took wonderful care of my young cat, Daisy. Each day she sent us updates and photos, which we very much appreciated. It’s stressful leaving our fur kids behind. Naomi and her family put all our concerns to rest. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch Daisy again!”
“Lenetta is very caring and wonderful with cats. We came home from vacation to see two very happy and relaxed kitties because of her wonderful care. Lenetta is prompt and reliable and I highly recommend her services.”
About: I rescued a Ferrell cat from the age of 6 months until the age of 18 She was aloof but responded well to love and affection af you we a short period of time. She was kept indoors with a litter box of fresh sod weekly to feel the safety of indoor living with a backyard feel
About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.
About: Just an all around animal lover! Patient, understanding and will lead with confidence so your dogs feel structured and safe. You can be at ease knowing that safety for your pet is my highest priority and I will treat them as my own! I work online from home and set my own schedule so I am available all week. I am available to walk your neighborhood, my neighborhood is great or I love to walk trails and beach :) I develop a relationship with each dog based on trust and an understanding of their individuality and personality. I allow dogs to be dogs within the realm of what is appropriate and they seem to appreciate my confident and casual style of leadership.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pine Ridge
“I almost hate to review this true gem! Linda will puppy sit one dog at a time which is great for my people-friendly, dog-hesitant fur baby. Her love of pets is so very apparent the moment you meet her. What a truly great find.”
About: I have been working with dogs for about 8 years. I have experience from working at kennels and a veterinary office. I am pet CPR certified and have taken courses on dog behavior and body language. Dogs are truly my passion and I love each and every one like they are my own. I have a very open and flexible schedule to watch your furry friends! I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. I do live on 3 acres of land with a smaller fenced in dog area off of the back patio. There is plenty of space for your dog to run and have fun but also can accommodate a slower lifestyle for the old timers. I have 3 dogs of my own that have been with me in the kennels and doggie daycare so they are very well versed on all types of behavior from other pets and are tolerant and love the company. I’m currently watching dogs from home full time so my schedule is tailored to your dog and their needs. I never leave our dogs alone for more than 4 hours and you can expect the same while I am watching your furry friends! I live on 3 acres along with living in a peaceful neighborhood so if your dog is use to getting walks every day, I can do that. If your dog is a lazy bones and just wants to hang out we’ve got space to do that too. They will get plenty of attention and be treated like my own.
About: From a first grader to present day, dogs have enhanced my life. It's been a privilege being a foster mom for several years with VIP Rescue of central Florida. Teaching basic obedience, grooming and health related issue. Currently, my fiance' Ron and I have three doodles that adorn yet challenge our daily life. A Bernedoodle who is 2 and a mischief when it comes to snagging shoes and slippers. Gus and Grace labradoodles are three. Grace a circus dog full of zoomies and antics, Gus a gentle quiet soul! I'm proud to be their mom! If I'm to be the sitter for your fur baby, please know they are my priority and will treat them with love dignity and respect. The same goes for your home. I currently work part time in the home health field. Where I've dedicated myself full time. I'm looking to switch gears by hanging up the senior home health to canine care. My home is surrounded by a woody environment, providing shade and room for ball play with exercise. There are three fenced sections, separating small dogs from larger dogs. The shy or needy dogs from those with special needs.
“First time using Rover and things couldn't have gone any better! Thank you Alyssa for taking such good care of Dakota. We visit the area every year and will definitely be using Alyssa's services again!”
“Dawn was able to accommodate our very last minute request to watch our puppy while we went tubing at Rainbow Springs State Park. She was very responsive and was willing to watch our puppy longer than our booked time, since we were delayed by weather in the area. She made our anniversary trip down the river possible. We are thankful to Dawn and her children for caring for our puppy.”
About: I'm experienced working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. Working in dog training, veterinary hospitals, and even animal control has left me with a wide variety of experience. Self employed, so I have a free schedule. Only times unavailable are Sunday mornings. Any days I'll be unavailable will be known months in advance. I have a private fenced in yard with a security system. Also full access between the house and sunroom. Segregation tools like crates are available if needed.
“I highly recommend Jessica's lovely family! My dog stayed with Jessica while I was on the tour at crystal river. When I need sitter service near the crystal river area, I definitely contact Jessica again. Thank you for taking care of my dog!”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.
“She took good care of our dog and treat her as he own. We got regular updates, complete with pictures, which gave us peace of mind. When we came back to pick her up our pet was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter!”
“Sheryl was fantastic with Ladybug! I didn't worry for a second, she is such a warm and welcoming person. Ladybug had three days of doggie daycare and when I dropped her off, it was clear that Ladybug enjoyed her time at Sheryl's house.”
“Many pet daycare facilities close between 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm, so I looked on Rover.com to find a pet sitter who coud watch my dog later than that while I went out to dinner. I was glad to find Sarah. Sarah was very friendly and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Her home looked like a very nice environment in which pets could happily play and rest. I would leave my dog with Sarah again.”
“Katie is amazing!! She's clearly knows what she's doing and cares a lot about every dog that comes through her front door. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My pet comes home happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Our boy Dexter had the absolute best time staying with Candace and her husband. They were the best and kept us informed with pictures the whole time. Dexter was so excited to see them the second day we dropped him off. We will definitely be using them in the future. Can’t thank them enough for giving our boy the BEST care.”

About: I have cared for dogs for years. I have experience with all sizes and many different breeds. I have a two acre yard fully fenced in perfect for dogs to run and play. as a self employed massage therapist I have the ability to control my schedule and take myself off of the schedule as needed when I get a lot of dog bookings I'll take them out to play and get fresh air. Depending on their age and health play time will vary. If an older, less active dog I will be careful about how long they walk. Also if they are a puppy or an active breed I will make sure to increase play time to help burn off their excess energy.

A 15 year old Corgi and an 18 month old mini dachshund. My dogs are crate trained. Visiting dogs can be crate trained or free to roam the house. On furniture is fine, but I will adhere to your rules. I do not allow dogs in my bed.
“Fantastic care for our older pup. Dawn was communicative and a breeze to work with. She obviously cares deeply about the welfare of the animals she looks after and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future!”
“Heidi is the best !!! We had an emergency and she worked with me when we had to change our flights from Tuesday to Monday. She sends pictures and updates daily and Lucy loves her !!!! We will definitely be back or should I say Lucy will !!!!”
“Jasmine took care of our dog very well when we visited South Carolina during Thanksgiving Holidays. At first our dog was upset that we were leaving him, but Jasmine made him comfortable during his stay. Also she shared pictures and kept us updated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone because Lucky had a great time staying with her.”
“Blanca loved her stay with Toni and enjoyed playing with another big dog. She was really treated like part of the family and I know today she misses the attention. I will definitely use Toni again because I know my girl was safe and happy there. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have always had pets, from small dogs and cats to big guardian dog breeds. I've also dealt with puppies, senior dogs, or pets with special health needs. I provide dependable, personalized care because I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can have peace of mind. I take the time to get to know each pet, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy's play schedule, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or helping shy or anxious animals feel comfortable at their own pace. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. Whether we're going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll treat them with the same care, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. My focus is on creating a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. My schedule is flexible for walks and feedings if necessary. My schedule is completely open if extended time is needed for longer walks, play time and belly rubs 🥰. I have an open floor plan which allows your fur baby to roam free with plenty of space. I also have space for a crate when needed. I have a friendly dog for him or her to play with.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
“Andi was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Rico. We have not had him very long and we were filled with nerves leaving him so early. Andi updated us regularly and completely eased our minds. She took fabulous care of him and we look forward to her watching him again.”
“Kelly made Zeus very comfortable and got plenty of exercise. We will definitely book with Kelly in future. I have a neighbor that will be reaching out as soon as I give her the information. Thank you Kelly.”
