“Josh is awesome and my fellas just love him. Josh continually sent updates and photos and I can honestly say I did not worry about them while I was gone. Thank you for taking such good care of them.”

“Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!”

“Jenna was wonderful! I knew from the moment we started talking that she would take care of my Addy. She exceeded my expectations and sent me lots of updates and pictures. She is a caring person and I will definitely book her again when we’re in that area. Highly recommend. 10/10.”


“Jennifer exudes a soft kindness that comforted us in leaving our furbaby with her. Gypsy was excited to come home but we also noticed how much she loved her doggy vacay with Jennifer and her family the way she interacted with Jennifer. And she also came back so clean :D”

“Reya is amazing! I left my dog with her for 2 weeks, and I have never felt so reassured and comfortable. This isn't something I've done often and was so hard for me to leave Woody for 2 weeks, but Reya was so patient and it was so obvious she cared. Will 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants a trusted and caring person to look after their dog.”

“Caitlin & Adrik took such great care of my girl! She is very high maintenance and has a special diet, but Caitlin & Adrik were able to accommodate her needs each and every day. They kept me informed of her day-to-day. They sent pictures and videos, and we’re very flexible at the last minute when my travel plans changed suddenly. I highly recommend them to care for your fur babies.”

“Carmen was great. She was so sweet, and accommodating to the needs of my dog. She let him cuddle up in bed with her and she sent me lots of photos throughout the stay. What a patient person and I am thankful that my dog was with her. ?”

About: I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for six years. I currently work part-time at a local flower shop that allows for flexibility when I am watching pets. They can come to work with me if they are slower paced and like people. 😊 My husband is deployed with the Army for the next year so I'm hoping to stay busy! Blossom, my 5 year old English Bulldog, loves to make new friends. I have a big fenced in front yard for them to sniff and play. I have gained an extensive pet sitting family. My standards are high and I understand the importance of having a communicative and mindful pet sitter in your home. I have cared for all kinds of animals, in all stages of life and it has been such a fulfilling experience. I love what I do. Every animal is unique and I enjoy learning how to communicate with every one that I meet. I'm a permanent resident here in Apalachicola as of March 2025 and looking to build a new pet family.

Let's set up a meet and greet. :D I work at a local flower shop part-time. Hours are 10-5p and I live 5 minutes away. Being so close allows me to let dogs out in the middle of my shift.

“Josh is an incredible cat sitter! He was flexible, warm, and instantly put us at ease. Our cats usually take a long time to warm up to new people, but they absolutely fell head over heels for him. He sent thoughtful daily updates and great photos, and we could tell he genuinely cared about them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”


About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life, but kitties are my passion. I have experience with doggie day care, I was a "feline personal trainer" with the Michigan Humane Society, and I have years of freelance foster & rescue work (which is why I currently have the pleasure of sharing my home with a whole bevy of rescued feline friends). I have experience caring for cats of all ages from dropper feeding new born kittens to elderly comfort care, and cats who have special needs including vision impairment, medicine administration (oral as well injection) and specific dietary requirements. I also have experience with kids and have been recently background checked and approved per DCFS requirements for preschool teaching. I am creative, outgoing, friendly, honest, patient, and I would love to pamper your kitty!

We are always hanging out together whether it's outside or on the couch cuddling they are always around me! I have so much experience with animals that you shouldn't feel at ease with me and we will make sure that we are acquainted well before I start watching your animals. If you need anything at all just let me know! Thank you so much!
About: I love animals, and could spend all day loving your pet! I love to take care of animals, and make sure they get good loving while their owner is away. I know some pets get upset when their owners leave, but I want to make sure they are very happy! I can take care of dogs or cats, and I love both equally! I enjoy to play with dogs and cats, and make sure they are super super comfortable when their owner is gone. I always make sure they have food and water at all times because food is awesome! I also love to take dogs for walks and make sure they stay active and have fun when their owner is away for a while.
About: I have been a pet owner and helped family and friends with caring for their pets for years. I regularly care for my mother's 2 dogs when she is out of town. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I do work full time but I will be glad to fit you in after work and on my days off. I work 8:30am to 5:30pm. I have a fenced in yard that my dogs run around and play in. I do walk them before work in the mornings before it gets too hot.

“Hope treated our cat like he was her own and he was very happy and comfortable with Hope. Hope stayed at our home and is trustworthy and respectful of our needs and home. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Hello! I’m Ashley! I’m a stay at home mom to an energetic and bright eyed little boy and the wife of a hardworking firefighter. I’m a passionate animal lover and pet mom to our 10 month old Silver Lab named Peppa. I’ve been a pet owner since I can remember. Growing up my family had our fair share of pets around from cats and dogs to ducks and lizards! Every time my family and I have to go out of town- we always struggle to find pet sitters! So, I thought I’d offer my services here on Rover to help out my fellow pet parents! I know how difficult it can be to find a trusting pet sitter. Pets definitely become a part of the family- so please know that I will treat your fur baby with the utmost care as if they were my own. I offer in home doggy day care and overnight sitting as well as dog walks, feeding/watering and making your pup comfy while you’re away! My family and I are very active- which is good news for those pups with lots of energy! We love hikes, biking, beach walks and dog parks! My son loves playing fetch with the pups- so he will be great entertainment for your fur baby! Upon leaving your pet with us- we ask that you leave with us emergency contact info and vet information, as well as any special medications, foods or comfort toys or objects etc. I believe every animal is unique and should be treated as so! I can’t wait to meet your pup!

“This was a repeat visit to Christine's and he was so excited and happy to be there. Christine loves animals and it shows. She is great with them and she is very good at communicating how your pet is doing. I know Kota was well cared for and will definitely use Christine again if Kota needs care.”

“Oh my goodness. I can not say enough good things about Patience and her husband. They were so great to my little guy. I was so nervous to leave my little guy. I had never left him before but we were vacation and my daughter wanted to go snorkeling. Not a service dog friendly activity. Patience put us at ease from the second we walked up to her door. She was super friendly and just loved my Ewok. She sent me tons of pictures throughout his stay to show me how he was doing. It made this mommy heart happy! It helped me focus on my two legged kiddo knowing my 4 legged kiddo was safe and being well cared for. Thank you so much!”

About: I have had pets in my life ever since I was little. So I love helping take care of them. I also am very good with puppies and teaching them new tricks, and helping with potty train. I also love helping keep dogs very active, or just chill with them and cuddle! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of free time. All days of the week are good for me. I’m even available on weekends if needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a dog of my own, who loves to play with others and gets along with all sizes. He loves to share his toys or just play together. Or if it’s in your own home, anywhere your fur baby loves to play! I also have dog parks around for your baby to play with or without others, and a nice neighborhood to walk around. Or we can walk around your neighborhood as well!
About: With a background in veterinary care and years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I bring a calm, knowledgeable approach to every stay. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting pets with anxiety or special needs, and adapting to each animal’s unique energy and personality. Your pet isn’t just another booking—they’re family, and I treat them that way. I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive in-home care. Whether your pet thrives on early-morning walks, midday playtime, or a structured feeding routine, I’m available to keep their day on track and stress-free. I specialize in in-home pet care because I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar surroundings. I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment, and I'm committed to respecting your space as if it were my own. I’m fully insured through Rover, and client trust is my top priority—from daily updates to respectful communication, you can count on complete peace of mind while you're away.
“Auden is great with our Dexter. He is a senior and she makes sure he gets his walks for exercise. They give him some outdoor time in the backyard and loving when he needs it. She will always get our business!! Thank You”

“5-stars for Anahi! We were roadtripping through town and needed someone last minute. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and sent photo updates so we weren't worried about our anxious pup.”

About: I treat every pet like they are my own! I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routine, and what makes them happiest. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful puppy or giving extra love and patience to an older pet, I make sure they always feel safe, loved, and right at home. You can count on regular updates, plenty of attention, and lots of cuddles while you’re away. I work from home, so I will be present with your pup most of the day with plenty of time to give them lots of love and attention. We already have two friendly and energetic dogs who love having company, and my husband is super hands-on too — so there’s always someone around to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family. Our days are filled with walks, playtime, and snuggles, so your pup will fit right in! We have a fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for playtime and potty breaks, plus two friendly dogs who love having new buddies to hang out with. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home. I can also crate your pet if that’s part of their normal routine or helps them feel more comfortable. In my own home, or yours I will make sure to stick to your pups regular schedule — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them company while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for wherever they feel the most comfortable.
About: Grew up with: -3 pups -3 cats Have taken care of: -1 pup with Addison’s disease (scheduled medication, walks, training, etc.) Currently: -I work from home so will have plenty of free time -Have a backyard Setting several daily alarms on your phone is the best way to go about pet care until you get used to each pup’s daily routine. This depends on the pup’s energy level. If they’re calm, we’ll hangout in the living room all day and I’ll try to energize them, if they’re willing, so the pup is able to sleep well that night. If the pup is highly energetic, we’ll go out often or head out to a dog park, if approved.

About: I’m so happy you found my page! My name is Hope & I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I grew up living next door a very diverse farm & spent most of my childhood nurturing animals. I would clean their pens out, feed them, bathe them, collect eggs & spend time with them daily. A plus was caring for their 4 Great Danes and cats when they would go off for trips. As a family, we’ve always been surrounded by our own pups & cats of all kinds. When I grew up & moved away from the farm, I still spent a lot of time caring for animals whether I was walking dogs, volunteering at my local shelter, or staying over night with kittens. I’ve also rescued sea animals that were stranded & vulnerable & sent them back home in full health! I love & have had some experiences with birds as well! Feel free to ask me any questions over my experience with animals! I am a single mother, and currently work from home on my own schedule, so my availability is very flexible for all of your fur babies needs!

Before arriving to an owner’s home, I read through the information provided thoroughly & treat their home & babies like my own! I also don’t mind doing any other tasks around the house, if it’s been previously discussed.
