“Stefhany was great! I left my babies with her for a whole week while I was on vacation and every single day she sent me pictures and videos! I am so grateful for her and her kids who loved the doggies, and took great care of them. I am definitely rebooking with Stefhany again! Thank you so much! I was able to enjoy my trip and be at peace knowing that Toby and Roxy were in good hands.”
“Very organized and communicative! Drop off and pick up were seamless. The dogs were really happy. It was my first time leaving my dogs with a new person and Stephanie was great about texting me reassurances they adjusted well. Thank you!”
“I recently left my dog with Erica, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I booked the service, the communication was excellent. Erica was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate about caring for pets. I was provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my furry baby was in good hands. King seemed happy and well-cared for when I picked him up, and he had clearly enjoyed his time there. I highly recommend Rover to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care. I will be using Erica's services again in the future!”
“Katie took care of our Labrador Willow while we went away for a few days. She did a fantastic job. I had never left my girl with anyone, but after meeting Katie at our meet and greet, I felt she was very trustworthy and felt very comfortable with her. She sent me pictures and updates all through the day. My mind was very at ease the whole time we were away. I can't thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Katie! Holly D.”

“This was the first time we had to board our puppy and Dawn was excellent! She kept us in the loop with pictures and texts to let us know our little boy was happy and playing with her family. She took care of his medication schedule and feedings, etc. He came back to us a happy puppy! Overall amazing experience and Dawn made us feel comfortable leaving the puppy with her. We would definitely recommend her and hope she is available next time we need a sitter!”

Also, when our dogs are there Laura sends so many pictures and videos when and we love it! I alway know that our dogs are having a great time and that they are safe.”
“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!”

“Ingrid was EXCEPTIONAL! Right from the meet & greet start. She responded immediately, made it convenient for us, and was so in tune & caring. She didn't extend her stay, she took care of business, friendly & open. She truly went above her duties during her check-ins. 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!!! Cats, even our bashful one, enjoyed her visits & attention so much.....they didn't seem mad at us when we got home. This was a first! Thank you Ingrid, and welcome to the family. You are a sweetheart”
“Brittany and family are awesome! I looked for someone local who is very comfortable with cats as well as all animals, and she is amazing. She was very helpful and flexible for our needs, helpful above and beyond what we needed. We hope to be able to use her 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.”
“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!”
“Megan was a lifesaver. Having booked this trip long before finding out a hurricane (Helene) was going to come barreling through while we were gone. Megan took good care of our kitty and our house.”
“Having Kathleen as my pet sitter has given me such peace of mind while I am away . Her communication skills are excellent: quick replies and good pet photos. I know my cat is well taken care of . Thanks Kathleen!”
“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!”
“Jessica did an incredible job watching our cats and keeping our house in shape! When we take trips, our cats tend to decimate everything and it was great to know Jessica was not only easing our worry, but keeping our cats safe and entertained!”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies to senior dogs with health problems that may need more attention. To cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents ect I love them all equally. I’m a part time student working a part time job, afternoons and evenings work the best for me, though some mornings I’m available to work My pets get regular baths and frequent walks, along-with healthy food with an overwhelming amount of love. Matched with playtime with their toys and cuddles!
“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!”
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.
“Stephanie goes out of her way to make sure things go smoothly. Knowing our fur baby was in good hands made it easier to leave her. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. I highly recommend her. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I've had cats most of my life and they hold a special place in my heart ❤️. We become friends very quickly, unless they are of the suspicious persuasion. They can take some extra effort! I will happily put in the effort because the rewards are sweet.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable with all dog breeds. I can also take care of more than just dogs and cats—I have experience with ferrets, birds, snakes, large lizards, and small animals/rodents. If you have other pets, that’s totally okay! I love making sure dogs get plenty of outdoor time, and if yours is high-energy, I’ll keep them busy and entertained 😊 I work Monday–Friday and usually get off around 4:30 PM, but I keep my weekends open for bookings. I’m available after 4:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I work until 9:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m fully available on weekends. I know your pets miss you when you’re away, so I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I have five dogs of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll treat yours like part of the family.
“Jamie was wonderful! My trip away was less stressful knowing that my three very spoiled kitties were being well cared for. She sent photos each visit and was easily reachable with texts. I will definitely be asking her to watch the kitty crew again!”

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.”
“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 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.
“Dawn was excellent! We reached out only a few days prior and she was able to accommodate, which we were so grateful for. She gave Dozer plenty of attention, and he came home happy. You could tell he had a good day! Dawn is very responsive and sends lots of photo and video updates. We’d definitely book her again!”
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.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was very young! I am an avid miniature dachshund lover and have bred them for over 4 years with experience in puppy care, breeding, and overall dog behavior and wellness. We own 3 dachshund’s and a rescue Aussie. I am available 7 days a week as I currently stay home with our 4 year old! I am home providing care for our dogs daily and I’d love to add a few more to the mix for interaction and healthy routine. I have a fenced yard and our fur babies all love dogs and cats. We have 3 miniature dachshund’s and an Australian Shepherd. In your home I will provide top notch care as if it were my own home and pet.
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!”
“I’m very happy that I found Veronica. She is caring, responsible, and always attentive. My dog feels calm and happy with her, and communication is always clear and easy. I highly recommend her services.”
“Candace was wonderful! Yesterday was our dog’s first day care stay (after a most promising meet & greet). Candace was most professional and kept us updated with pictures/ texts. It was obvious from the moment of arrival our dog was her priority for the day. Also, one can tell she is a “dog person” who has a genuine fondness for our pet!”
About: I've always had a passion for animals my whole life. When i was 13-14 i volunteered at a petting zoo with all sorts of animals even dogs.I also use to pet sit for family friends quite a lot. I currently work at a boarding/daycare facility where we tend to all of their different needs. I'm currently traveling with my boyfriend for his work, so anytime i have a booking on here i will be home the entire time. Other then that i would be doing door dash/spark driver but id much rather pet sit to continue doing what i love. Anything involved with animals. Have 100% attention towards them. Take them out to run and play atleast ever 1-2 hours (more of course if their outside loving dogs). Making sure their eating as they should be and drinking plenty of water.
“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.”

About: I am a former dog owner and lover who sadly lost her fur baby Dexter to an illness. I love and value animal life and care. Pets deserve love and attention and someone with the energy to give it to them when mommy and daddy are busy doing life or just tired from a long day of work! I have 4+ years experience caring for dogs including a dog with moderate to severe seizures. I have experience administering medication and calming nervous dogs. What sets me a part is that I am a stay at home mom which means your pet is not competing with any other work stresses and will get the love, care, and attention needed! I know how it is to have the fear of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. Will they ignore him? Feed him? Play with him? Take him out to use the restroom? Snuggle him? Lose their patience with him? I know the feeling! Your baby will be my baby while under my care. Go to work or get away with peace of mind knowing your pet is safe!

I have been caring for my family and friends pets and children almost my entire life - I have plenty of love to share with all of your pets. I can even care for your plants if needed. 😊 I live in Lecanto and I am only available in the evenings Monday through Thursday after 6PM. But I am available FULL TIME Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is my dream to spend my later years caring and loving for animals. I am interested in making caring for and loving pets my full time job, so I am more than interested in full time positions. I would love to leave my current day job behind and make my passion for animals my full time job. Your pets and your home will be treated as if they are my own. I live in a nice subdivision and keep my back yard fenced for the dog’s freedom and security. As I have several pets already I would be caring for or walking your pets in your home / neighborhood. I will send photos and videos of your pets as I care for them so you can feel at ease while away from your pet(s).

“Linda spoils our baby, hate to say great things because she becomes booked so we can't take our vacations. Amazing job, Amazing person, and let's not forget Ron he really seems to like Vivian.”
“Very organized and communicative! Drop off and pick up were seamless. The dogs were really happy. It was my first time leaving my dogs with a new person and Stephanie was great about texting me reassurances they adjusted well. Thank you!”
“I recently left my dog with Erica, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I booked the service, the communication was excellent. Erica was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate about caring for pets. I was provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my furry baby was in good hands. King seemed happy and well-cared for when I picked him up, and he had clearly enjoyed his time there. I highly recommend Rover to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care. I will be using Erica's services again in the future!”
“Katie took care of our Labrador Willow while we went away for a few days. She did a fantastic job. I had never left my girl with anyone, but after meeting Katie at our meet and greet, I felt she was very trustworthy and felt very comfortable with her. She sent me pictures and updates all through the day. My mind was very at ease the whole time we were away. I can't thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Katie! Holly D.”
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“This was the first time we had to board our puppy and Dawn was excellent! She kept us in the loop with pictures and texts to let us know our little boy was happy and playing with her family. She took care of his medication schedule and feedings, etc. He came back to us a happy puppy! Overall amazing experience and Dawn made us feel comfortable leaving the puppy with her. We would definitely recommend her and hope she is available next time we need a sitter!”
“Sarah is very dog and cat savvy. She is easy to work with, great communication, and has a peaceful home. This was perfect for my +12 year old Aussie. I appreciated the daily check inscand pictures and will look forward to bringing my boy back to visit the next time we need to travel.”
“Samantha was a great friend to my 3 dogs for an overnight stay! They had a great time, she kept me updated throughout the stay and had yummy treats to share with them! We our glad to have found our new sitter!”
“Sarah was a great caregiver of my little 6lb dog, answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns. You could tell that she truly cared for the dogs under her watch and was invested in giving them a good experience. I will be using her again!”
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.
“This family is wonderful! They’re very caring, sweet, helpful, and sincere. I made a last minute booking, and they immediately accommodated me. They were very responsive and sent me several pictures of my pup and gave me updates throughout the day. I felt like I had left my pup with family. The home was very clean. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again. ❤️”
“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!!”
