“Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.”
“Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.”
“Anas and Tate are truly exceptional— they treated Kaine and Lyuba like family with so much care and attention. Always reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. We appreciate them sending updates, videos and pictures. We feel completely at ease knowing our fur babies are in such compassionate, responsible, and capable hands.”
“It was really great having Vanessa taking care of my dog. She was really great informing us of how our dog was doing through the day and she was really sweet with our dog. We are truly grateful for a peaceful trip knowing our dog was being taken care of.”
“Nina was the best with our two dogs! They both have their own quirks and she handled it perfectly. Our dogs loved their stay and we got updates daily on how they were doing. I had no worries about them while we were gone.”
“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”
“We are very pleased with the care Axel received at Shalom's. Not only did she send us regular reports about how he was doing, she even included pictures! We can't thank her enough.”
“I usually never do reviews. But if you need your pet taken care of, Gianna is that person. If I could leave Gianna any more stars I would! She’s so attentive and kind. She took care of my sweet boy for a little over a week and constantly gave me updates. It gave me a piece of mind knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely be rebooking.”
“My dog had a great stay with Adam. This was her second stay, and she was so excited to see him and both his dogs again. He even went out of his way to plan a play date between my dog and a dog friend she made on her first visit. My dog will continue to stay with Adam when she needs a sitter!”
“Daphne took wonderful care of our senior cat! She provided lots of photos and updates while we were gone, which I truly appreciated. She did a great job administering our cats medication. And our cat enjoyed spending time with Daphne as well!”
About: The loss of my very first cat (and best friend) happened because of a neglectful pet sitter. Ever since then, it is my goal to offer the safest and kindest care possible to all animals that I meet. Services Offered: -Tailored in-home pet sitting and visitations based on your pet’s individual needs and routines. -Playtime, interaction, and walkouts for dogs. -Feeding, provision of fresh water, and thorough maintenance of their cages/boxes/litters. -Professionally offering oral medication, treatment, and senior pet care. -Consistent photo and video updates at each visitation. Experience in Pet Care: Many years spent caring for the pets of my relatives, friends, and neighbors provided me with a vast and versatile experience. The experience includes the care of active large breeds, delicate small dogs, nursing vulnerable newborns of kittens, and medication schedules of senior cats. In my teens, people brought stray animals to my place for rehabilitation and treatment. Availability and Schedule: My flexible schedule is possible due to being a full-time student. My classes are carefully scheduled so that my pets will never be left alone for too long. I do not have a job outside of classes which allows for many free hours to see my clients midday, interact and give them personal care. I am a UF student who has class late morning/early afternoon. When I wake up I have a cuddle session with my cat and open the door for his little sister to join him. After I am done with classes I usually study, relax at my house with my cats and recently car train them and socialize them with unsocialized cats. This time is perfect for me to come visit or board a cat at home since I am generally home from 2-3pm until the rest of the day. I live in a cat/kitten proof apartment with a closed patio. There is a lot of toys, and two cat trees. I am very patient with cats and educated on ways to make them as comfortable as possible in a new/ stressful environnement.
“I am so grateful to Paula and family for taking such good care of my baby. I had a last minute trip and she was so accommodating .She was sitting and enjoying petting when I walked in. I highly recommend Paula.”
“I am very picky about who takes care of my boy's and I have to say that I was so pleased with Dana. She treated them like they were hers and kept me in the loop with all the awesome pics. I highly recommend her as a top dog sitter you will not be disappointed. Dana thank you so much for your live of dogs we will be back soon..thanks again Mike, Liz Bruiser and Buster”
“Kaylee was fantastic with Freya! Leaving your dog with someone new is always a little nerve wracking, but she put my mind at ease immediately. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates with photos throughout the stay. It was clear from the photos that Freya was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“We have no concerns once we drop Coco off with Laquitta and James. We get updates and photos throughout the day, which ensures us that Coco is in safe hands. Highly recommend their services.”

“Haley was wonderful and did a great job with our cats! We were gone for 10 days which was a little scary for us, but she was such a comforting presence! She was able to administer medications to our one cat and sent great photos every day 🥰 our cats obviously loved her!”
“Katherine does such a good job taking care of my cats and loves them like her own! She is extremely professional and leaves great, detailed reports so I know my kitties are receiving great care while I’m away. I highly recommend!”
“Peyton is wonderful! You can tell she loves dogs and Finn adored her from the start. She is very responsive, and she was diligent with her questions in order to be best prepared. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of cats of all temperaments when I worked at a shelter. Some cats have a hard time with new people and that’s ok. I am very patient and respectful of their space and usually they let me do what I need to do. I also currently have a cat of my own who was formerly a stray and has some health issues so I have experience giving oral medication and eyedrops. I also feed a few stray cats in my area and they have come to accept my presence even though they’re pretty feral. Overall, I have experience with all kinds of cats and usually the answer is plenty of patience and they will at least accept my presence.
“Victoria did a great job taking care of our two cats. She reliably texted me whenever questions arose, and the overall communication, as well as the actual sitting went as smooth as can be. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to know their pets in good hand!”
“This was our second time using Raegan to drop in on our 2 cats and we highly recommend! She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home clean for when we returned and was very responsive anytime we needed to reach her. We definitely suggest using her for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Growing up with my family cat, Dexter, showed me just how special cats truly are. Since then, I’ve cared for many cats through my work at a boarding facility as well as cat sitting for friends and family by recommendation. I also have two cats of my own who mean the world to me, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your pets. I’ll treat your cats with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own.
About: I’ve cared for my friends’ cats while they were out of town and happily refilled food and water, cleaned litter boxes, and provided comfort and company. I now care for an outdoor cat with my roommates.
About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.
About: Ive been around animals all my life basically. I also love any furry animal that im around so a friend of mine told me about this app and i decided to give it a shot. I have a full time job at mederi private care as an hha but its a very flexible schedule and i will be able to do overnights and days I would treat everyones pets as if they were mine and with a great attitude giving them frequent walks and even letting them have their zoomy time
About: Hello! My name is Kate and I am 25 years old. I am a former research assistant at UF with a love for animals of all sorts. I have cared for pets most of my life, growing up with 3 miniature schnauzers. I currently have 2 cats of my own, Mochi and Marceline, who are my entire world! I am often the "go-to" pet sitter amongst my friends and neighbors, with experience caring for large-small dogs, cats, and rodents. I am very detail oriented and will follow any specific instructions for caring for your pet (within reason), including sending updates and pictures to document their care :) I am currently disabled and self-employed, doing mostly gig work and selling jewelry, so my schedule is fairly open throughout the week and weekend for mornings, afternoons, and evenings! In my own home, I have 2 auto feeders, 2 litter boxes, and a cat water fountain. I own 2 crates if I need to transport either of my cats. For my clients, I am available to feed your pets (wet or dry food), refill water bowls or fountains, and clean litter boxes during longer trips away from home. I am very detail oriented and will follow any specific feeding/playtime instructions if requested.
“Alfonsina was great with my special needs kitty. Super attentive and always accessible through text. Went above and beyond with house care and gave lots of love to my baby while I was gone.”
About: I've grown up around all types of animals--from cats and dogs to birds and turtles. In fact. I think that is what inspired me to pursue a career in animal science. From the ripe age of 8, I have been my family and friends' trusted pet sitter (mostly dogs and cats) and would love to be your pet sitter as well.
About: I grew up surrounded by my pets, and when I came to the US for grad school I was at least relieved to know that they are with my family, in safe hands. They are 4 crazy dogs, ranging from seniors to young adults now. I miss them so much and will love spending time with your pets here, while also making some extra cash to send goodies to mine and my family. I will follow all your instructions and I'll love every second I get o spend with them. I cannot take them to my apartment at the moment, because my landlord doesn't allow pets, but I can go to your houses to take proper care of them as needed. Looking forward to hear from you and your amazing pets! I'm a PhD Student, working only on my research. My schedule is very flexible, and most of the times, I only need my computer to be able to work, which will allow me to work around your pets schedule. Unfortunately, the apartment where I live here doesn't allow pets, but I'm willing to go to their homes to feed them, play with them, take them out for walks, or anything as instructed by their owners.
About: There’s no better friend than a cat. They have been the most consistent part in my life since I was a little girl so I will always show up for them and be the most consistent thing in theirs. I love caring for cats in every way possible from TNR to taking in bottle babies or just going next-door and spending time with the neighbor cat. I love all their different personalities. And getting to know each one I would love chance to care for yours.
About: While I love all pets, I have a soft spot for my feline clients. My background as a vet technician means I can offer your cat much more than just a food refill. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who needs intense playtime or a shy "closet cat" who needs a gentle touch and a watchful eye, I’m here to ensure they feel safe and pampered while you’re away.

“I initially wanted to hire her to walk Koda twice daily. I’m glad she suggested he go to her place for doggy day care. I can tell he is having a blast. The family is very friendly. They’ve just earned a regular customer.”
“Liza and her roommates made my pup feel right at home, so much so that by the third day of dog sitting, he was literally whimpering and clamoring to greet Lisa when we arrived in the morning. Each day, he ran inside and never looked back. It was clear that he had all the attention and care he wanted each day! I will happily return when we next need a dog sitter.”
“Thanks so much to Gabriel for taking great care of Ozzy! Ozzy had a great time playing and hanging out and thank you for being able to watch him even on short notice! We would definitely have Ozzy come visit again soon.”
“Ana and the staff were all so sweet and caring- I could not have asked for a better experience for my baby! This was the first time I have left my little Pomeranian, Nalla, and I was certainly nervous at first but right when I dropped her off my worries were immediately eased. The set up was wonderful and all of the staff were extremely competent and kind! I will certainly be returning with Nalla and would highly recommend Ana to everyone!”

About: Experienced in most breeds and love to pamper and adore your pet! I will spend time with them and make sure they enjoy themselves while you are away!

I understand that pets are a precious part of the family. They deserve love and attention even when you're away. I will be happy to care for them!
“Brynn and husband took great care of my two dogs! They came home happy and tired after a day of playing in the backyard, lounging in the sun (a Milo favorite pastime) and walks. I do appreciate the loving care for my two dogs!!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll always care for them like I would my own!
About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!
About: I was born and raised around dogs like Lassie. My dad trained dogs, so I understand calm presence and consistent caregiving. Now, I work for myself from home full-time, nurturing the animals in my care. Quick story: One day, I noticed my mom’s chihuahua-papillon mix, Jacques Cousteau, scrunching his face as he tried to eat crunchy food. I went to PetSmart and brought home the healthiest soft food I could find. When he braced himself to bite into it but didn’t hurt his old teeth, he ran over and jumped onto my lap, licking my whole face until I was laughing, knowing he felt seen. He gained a few pounds over the next few weeks (6 pounds to 9, 50% more!). I was so happy that he could eat again without pain. He lived to be about 15 years old! For a chihuahua, that’s a very long happy life. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. Please share any special care needs with me. I am able to be very attentive. Your dog will be my top priority. I cater to special needs. Happy to send photos throughout the day. We treat them like family and have 4 responsible adults who share the space, all love dogs. Our yard has a 6-ft fence and a very cozy home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.
“She was amazing! Our hotel was being very difficult about leaving him alone in the hotel room and she quickly took the job. She had a great time with our fur baby. Thank you!!!”
About: Hello! I've taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 10 and have dealt with plenty of furry (and scaly) friends. I have a 9 year old pup myself and many other reptiles (none in house) so I know exactly how I can make you and your pets have the best vacation away from home:) I'm currently working part-time and taking predominately online classes so I'm free to give your pups my full attention throughout the day. I'll be mostly home studying so I will be home and more than willing to take breaks to play with your pup! I live in an apartment with plenty of space inside to run around and friendly roommates who all love dogs so your pup will be in very loving hands. My room has plenty of space for a crate or bed so your pup can be right by me the whole night! I love walking and walk every day so walking is no issue:)
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for animals and have hands-on experience working in an animal hospital setting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and needs. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, handling pets safely, and providing lots of love and attention! I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I am working part time from home so I have plenty of time to care for you fur babies and give you some peace of mind while you’re away I stay in an apartment complex but it’s tons of open grass as well as dog parks around that I can take them to play and be outside. Inside I do not mind them being on furniture but I also have Kennels for them to be in. I have a 9 pound doggy but she is super friendly and I can keep her away if need be
About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

“Raegan did an amazing job caring for my 2 large doodles which was booked somewhat last minute. She followed all instructions and I felt safe and comfortable entrusting her with my dogs!”
About: Hi, I'm Katherine, but you can call me Kee! I've been my neighbors' go-to sitter for the last 2 years, and have care for young and old, big and small. Before that I cared for my own dogs for 15 years before! I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life. I started pet sitting at the age of 12. Since then, I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have experience fostering dogs and walking dogs from the local shelter. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart! I am comfortable providing senior dogs with medication and all the extra attention they deserve. I am available for dog walking 10 am to 5 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am available Saturday from 3 pm to 6 pm. Safety is extremely important to me. I will always verify that the weather is suitable for walk and safe for your pet. Your dog will be on a leash at all time and kept separate from unknown dogs, unless we have arranged otherwise.
About: Ive grown up caring for dogs and cats of my own, and over the years I’ve also pet sat, walked, and bathed pets for friends and neighbors. Since I was 15, I’ve volunteered on and off at local animal shelters, which has only deepened my love for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m happiest when I’m around animals. I currently work from home part time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to do so! I’ll follow your pet’s routine and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m very attentive to routines and behavior, so I make sure each dog feels comfortable and safe. I’m active and love long walks, but I’m also patient and calm with shy or older dogs. I treat every pet like my own. As a UF student with a flexible schedule, I plan my days around being active and organized, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding depending on the week, and I prioritize giving pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to communicate regularly and send updates while you’re away! I take safety and routine very seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as given. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, so I notice quickly if a pet seems stressed or uncomfortable. I keep doors secured, avoid unsafe situations on walks, and make sure your pet feels calm and cared for at all times.

About: I have great experience with all dog sizes, but medium to small is the best for me. I have taken care of elderly dogs before, and I have a small elderly pomeranian at home, so i realize they require gentle care and attention. I have a dog park outside of my apartment that is mostly unused. It is perfect for giving your dog a potty/play break. The street i live on is slow with light traffic. I am able to care for pets 24/7. I am a part time student, mostly on line, so I am at home most of the day. I work in my bedroom or living room, and I have no trouble doing work on my computer with your pet. My apartment is not on a street, just a parking lot. There is a large yard and doggy play pen outside my home. I live with a Vet student, and I am better able to care for animals with her help. I have one roommate, and my apartment is very quiet and large. I am home all day, and i enjoy quiet studying while siting next to your pet. I get bored easily so I go for walks 4-5x a day, which I would love to do together with your pet! I have a lot of patience for animals since I grew up with them, but i prefer low-energy and calm animals because I get overwhelmed easily.
“Janae is a wonderful, caring individual who took excellent care of my dog Kenzie on her late night bedtime walks. Kenzie was very relaxed upon meeting Janae, immediately laying on her feet and rolling over for belly rubs - which is unusual for her. I trust Janae to take excellent care of your pet(s).”
About: Hi thanks for considering me for the care of your tiny baby! I’ve been pet sitting full time in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Tampa area (I am now in Gainesville, FL) for over 4 years now but in that time I’ve met over a dozen new families! It feels crazy that I've made lifelong connections with something that was just supposed to be part time. (If you can’t tell I LOVE my job and enjoying connecting and caring for every new family.🥰 ) I took about a year off, only pet sitting for my regulars but now that I'm settled into Gainesville I'm opening my schedule for new clients! As much as I love cuddling and playing trust is everything and if you have an especially anxious pup or just mistrusting, I can give them the space they need and show them they can trust this new person in their house by taking things at their speed. I'm in no rush. Will work with your schedule. I’m great for last minute plans so you don’t have to worry about where your baby is going or if they’ll get enough loving while you’re away. :) I like to live an active lifestyle walking at the beach or finding a new trail. As far as a daily routine I like to adapt to whatever the dog or cat's schedule is but at the end of the night love ending up on the couch cuddling watching tv! I’m here to make sure your loved one feels loved while in your absence. For any questions or if you’d just like to get to know me a little more please feel free to message! Since I do this full time my schedule is according to my client's pretty simple. On my days off though I still like to keep a routine sleeping until my cat cries for wet food, stretching, and journaling every single morning. Throughout the week I do strength training and am taking an online bookkeeping class. Safety for me and you pet is always going to be number one over everything. If a dog or cat feels unsafe, things can only go down from there. The key is to give a fearful or uncomfortable pet SPACE and let them come to me.
About: I was born and raised around dogs like Lassie. My dad trained dogs, so I understand calm presence and consistent caregiving. Now, I work for myself from home full-time, nurturing the animals in my care. Quick story: One day, I noticed my mom’s chihuahua-papillon mix, Jacques Cousteau, scrunching his face as he tried to eat crunchy food. I went to PetSmart and brought home the healthiest soft food I could find. When he braced himself to bite into it but didn’t hurt his old teeth, he ran over and jumped onto my lap, licking my whole face until I was laughing, knowing he felt seen. He gained a few pounds over the next few weeks (6 pounds to 9, 50% more!). I was so happy that he could eat again without pain. He lived to be about 15 years old! For a chihuahua, that’s a very long happy life. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. Please share any special care needs with me. I am able to be very attentive. Your dog will be my top priority. I cater to special needs. Happy to send photos throughout the day. We treat them like family and have 4 responsible adults who share the space, all love dogs. Our yard has a 6-ft fence and a very cozy home.

“This was not only our first time using Rover, but our first time boarding altogether our 2 pups and we were picky. Miranda and her husband were SO thoughtful for allowing a meet and greet, as well as making sure setup was perfect, and all pups settled in well and taken care of. She gave updates throughout the day and was very communicative. My pups had a great stay! Above and beyond, and would 100% recommend! She made this fur mama’s heart happy. 😊 🐾🫶🏻”
“Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.”
“Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.”
“Anas and Tate are truly exceptional— they treated Kaine and Lyuba like family with so much care and attention. Always reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. We appreciate them sending updates, videos and pictures. We feel completely at ease knowing our fur babies are in such compassionate, responsible, and capable hands.”
“I was so nervous as we are new snowbirds and have only left our 14 year old dog with family in the past. You were fabulous. I truly thank you. Our old guy is sleeping peacefully upon return. No anxiety at all! I would 100% recommend anyone with a senior dog seek you out.”
“Amanda has been so great in taking care of our dog. We went out of the country for a family vacation, she regularly sends us pictures, videos and updates us how he is doing. We can truly tell our fur baby enjoyed his stay with Amanda. Amanda is so reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She treats our dog as if they were her own. We highly recommend her.”
“PEACH is a rambunctious puppy of 4 months and Darby took her on for a second time. PEACH comes home obnvioysly well cared for and happy and seems to particularly like Darby's own dog ("Wab") and her significant other. We have two more short trips planned in the next 2 months and (hopefully) Darby will be available. Darby sent us photos daily (nice touch I may add) and she has plenty of space in the backyard and a very nice attitude. We'd definitely like to use her often in the future!”
“It was really great having Vanessa taking care of my dog. She was really great informing us of how our dog was doing through the day and she was really sweet with our dog. We are truly grateful for a peaceful trip knowing our dog was being taken care of.”
“Nina was the best with our two dogs! They both have their own quirks and she handled it perfectly. Our dogs loved their stay and we got updates daily on how they were doing. I had no worries about them while we were gone.”
“Great with my high energy pup. She makes sure that every stay is safe and fun for the dogs. Bonus points for giving my dog a slow feeder puzzle with pumpkin puree. Great communicator, responsible and punctual. She really cares for your dogs as if it were her own.”
“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”
“We are very pleased with the care Axel received at Shalom's. Not only did she send us regular reports about how he was doing, she even included pictures! We can't thank her enough.”
“Shey was amazing with my puppers! Sent me tons of photos during his stay and kept me updated on how he was. She delt with his medication and eating disorder well, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
About: The loss of my very first cat (and best friend) happened because of a neglectful pet sitter. Ever since then, it is my goal to offer the safest and kindest care possible to all animals that I meet. Services Offered: -Tailored in-home pet sitting and visitations based on your pet’s individual needs and routines. -Playtime, interaction, and walkouts for dogs. -Feeding, provision of fresh water, and thorough maintenance of their cages/boxes/litters. -Professionally offering oral medication, treatment, and senior pet care. -Consistent photo and video updates at each visitation. Experience in Pet Care: Many years spent caring for the pets of my relatives, friends, and neighbors provided me with a vast and versatile experience. The experience includes the care of active large breeds, delicate small dogs, nursing vulnerable newborns of kittens, and medication schedules of senior cats. In my teens, people brought stray animals to my place for rehabilitation and treatment. Availability and Schedule: My flexible schedule is possible due to being a full-time student. My classes are carefully scheduled so that my pets will never be left alone for too long. I do not have a job outside of classes which allows for many free hours to see my clients midday, interact and give them personal care. I am a UF student who has class late morning/early afternoon. When I wake up I have a cuddle session with my cat and open the door for his little sister to join him. After I am done with classes I usually study, relax at my house with my cats and recently car train them and socialize them with unsocialized cats. This time is perfect for me to come visit or board a cat at home since I am generally home from 2-3pm until the rest of the day. I live in a cat/kitten proof apartment with a closed patio. There is a lot of toys, and two cat trees. I am very patient with cats and educated on ways to make them as comfortable as possible in a new/ stressful environnement.
“Caitlynn is absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, kept me updated on Sage throughout my trip and sent pictures. didn’t have to worry if she was okay. This is my second booking on Rover. The first time was a nightmare, but I’m glad I gave it another shot. I will definitely be open to booking with Caitlynn again for sure.”
