“I recently moved to Ocala and needed a new pet sitter. I felt comfortable with them at the Meet and Greet and my first sitting experience with Laquitta & James far exceeded my expectations! I received updates with several pictures EVERY DAY. They pampered Lucy and gave her extra attention since it was her first time staying with them. She was so well cared for and comfortable at their home. They will be my go-to sitters for any future trips!”
“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“This was my dogs first time staying the night with someone outside of family. My dog was nervous at first and went straight to his crate. By the time I picked him up the next morning he was so happy. He warmed up to Kristin and her family and played well with the other dogs. Kristin updated me with a picture and that he was able to sleep through the night no problem. This put our minds at ease. We will be booking again in the future.”
“As a first time client I was completely unsure what to expect and/or the general way that we would interact. To my great relief and mild angst I found that it couldn't have gone any better. From a business perspective Cyndi was a consummate professional and a valued asset to this organization. As a pet owner I found Cyndi to be caring and respectful in welcoming our dog into her home and I don't know what more I or anyone else could ask when entrusting their pets into another person's care. I value her dedication and would certainly do this again should the need arise.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for them and truly enjoy spending time with them. I provide patient, loving care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups. I’m available for boarding seven days a week. I have a good- sized fenced yard and a friendly medium-sized dog to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed.
“Julia and Alllen took a good care of my two beautiful cata They responded to my messages , sent me pictures everyday , and hand fed my cat when she was anxious and refused to eat They are a great pet care giver and i will use their service again”
“Ashley is amazing! From the first time we brought Pete to meet Ashley at the meet and greet we knew she was going to be the perfect sitter! Ashley provides picture updates and is quick to communicate! She makes drop off and pick up easy and has the perfect set up! We’ve already booked our next trips with Ashley!”
“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Ms.Susan is one of the best sitter I had. She’s always available when you need her to watch your pet and picked up and dropped my dog at home. She’s very reliable and kind. Thank you Ms. Susan”
“I had a medical emergency and was recently hospitalized. I called Taylor & Angel to watch my little girl Cinnamon for 3 days and they not only did they drop everything and agree to take her but they drove over to my house, collect her dog food and get her out of her crate and take her back to their farm. You guys are the best!”
“I’m so thankful for Dianette and her daughter and the amazing care they gave my dog Hunter. They were patient, loving, and very attentive. I really appreciated the updates with pictures and messages—it gave me so much peace of mind. Hunter was happy, safe, and well taken care of the whole time. I’ll definitely trust them again in the future and highly recommend their services!”
“Bill and Krista were so amazing! They were able to take in my two German shepherds on such a short notice. They are beyond flexible and understanding of the little bumps in the road that came along with our return time and kept me updated with plenty of photos! When they say 24/7 care they truly mean it. When I’m back in the area I’ll be 1000% rebooking with them!”

About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.
About: Very patient and attentive with all my fur babies. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows how much of a labor of love is required to be a pet parent. I’m always open to providing as much needed walks and belly rubs as possible so that your fur baby gets all the necessary attention. I have plenty of time to help with pet care. I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible, more or less depending on the pet owner needs. I usually make sure the environment is pet friendly and hide all small items that any pet could accidentally ingest, make sure that all of their toys are near, and medications that they need are nearby also. Sure that they have plenty of water and food for their liking or dependent on the specifications of the owner based up their pets needs. And try to make sure that they have something that smells like their owner near so they aren’t weary of their absence.
“Taylor is a very sweet, kind and trustworthy young lady. We were away for a few days in Orlando and she was hired to cat sit our three kitties. Very responsible and trustworthy and she did a wonderful job. Highly recommend her!”
“Kylie was super easy to work with and did a great job of feeding our kitties while we were out of town. The photo updates gave us peace of mind. She even went the extra mile and provided photos of her playing with them! Would definitely use her again.”
“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”
“Angela was wonderful. My cat was put on twice daily medicine a week before I was scheduled to go on vacation. I was very worried about how she would handle me going away, but she loved Angela! Angela also gave all 14 doses at their prescribed times and sent me lovely pictures at every visit! I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: Hey! My name is Bethany 😁 I love handing a helping hand when it comes to our best friends. Lived my whole life having pets. Currently i have 2 cats, 1 bunny, 1 betta, and 6 aquarium snails. I studied and graduated as a veterinarian assistant from a votech high school. While In school we worked on dogs twice a week. Taking care of them included grooming, baths, exercise, feeding, giving medications, and sometimes just cuddles. A few days outta the year we would have birds, lizards, bunnies, or even horses. If you decide to book me just know your fluffy baby is my number one priority. I’ll take care of them as if they were my own!! I work part time overnight from midnight til about 4:30/5am and then the remainder of the day I am home with my son and animals. I take care of pets as if they were my own children. I like routines and I love cuddles. Does your pet have special care that’s ok I adapt to what is needed!
“Deborah did an amazing job with our 4-legged kids! After our initial meet and greet, we had such a good feeling about her and she did not let us down! She sent photos of our "kids" and took really good care of them. We were in regular communication but I didn't have to worry about anything! She bonded with our "kids" right away and I know they are much happier staying in their own home vs boarding. I would definitely recommend her! I would have given her 10 stars if it were available!”

About: For my entire life my family has owned pets of all kinds, and I have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I am a full time stay-at-home mom with the knowledge and confidence to fulfill all of your pets needs! Our family pet is a golden doodle. She is super sweet and has never had a conflict with another animal. If you have a hyper pup, she would love the company! Alternatively, if you have an older pup, she will respect their boundaries. I have cared for several older dogs, including those in need of daily shots or hourly bathroom breaks over night. I am no stranger to waking up at all hours of the night to meet the needs of your pet. I do have an infant in the house, so pets must not be aggressive, and pets will not be allowed in the bedroom or on the furniture. I am a full time stay-at-home mom to the sweetest baby girl. She is still young, so we rarely leave the house. We live close to a beautiful park and will be happy to enjoy the walk with your pets as frequently as requested. I have a fenced in yard, a beautiful park to which we can walk, and I can offer food/medicine/water on the schedule which your pet requires. If food aggression is a concern, I have a room dedicated to our dog which can be used to isolate her from your pet during feedings.
“Lorraine was awesome my first time leaving my babies with her they had so much fun ! They came home and took a nap! They were tired from playing all day with other dogs Thank you Lorraine”
“Toby was so happy; he appeared as though he had a full day. Noah was so kind and understanding as he responded diligently to my abundant text messages. But, most important of all, Toby interacted positively with a cat for the first time. Thank you, Noah!”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”

We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

About: I've just recently moved to Pomona Park with my 10 year old female boxer. I know how to take care of high energy dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting You and your dog. I'm currently retired and am looking forward to getting out and doing lots of walks. No dog is too big or too small. Let's go for a walk! I come by and take your dog/dogs for a walk. When we get back, I'll make sure they have food and water before I leave.
About: I have many years experience with dogs. I currently have a German Shepard pup who is like one of our children. I believe in healthy, homemade treats and lots of exercise! Walks are a favorite of ours as well as homemade ice cream treats in warmer months. In cooler months, we have a heated garage to play in and still do walks, just shorter. I have 2 small children who love animals and are respectful. I am a big fan that animals should be treated with love and respect. I look forward to caring for your animals and making them apart of our family! Just like people, animals need companionship. We will always strive to do our best to make your family to feel safe and comfortable at all times. I work overnights and from home so there will be lots of time for play and love in our daily routine. Walks are always fun and needed, so I plan on at least 2 a day depending on the age of dog. I do not have a fenced in yard but have walking leashes where they can safely roam our back yard. We love walks and use harnesses for safety. I also have a large crate if needed while your pup visits.
About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important.

Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.
About: Growing up we had 17 golden retrievers. 14 of them were puppies. I now have two of my own and love to be around them. My family has been involved in training. I also worked at 2 different animal hospitals where I was a kennel technician. I have 2 daughters . Currently I am going backed to school to become a dog trainer. I am always available and try to accommodate in any way I can. I appreciate hanging out with animals and doing everything I can for them. I am CPR certified for dogs. Me and my children enjoy animals so if we aren’t doing school work, or helping other animals I am outside training or practicing with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard so my dogs and I are always outside playing. They love to play with the toys and run. We practice training a lot of the time.

“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”
About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.
“Amber is the absolute best!! She was immediately at ease with our big exuberant i German Shepherd dog. Our Paisley absolutely loved her. The walks were a point of excitement and the highlight of every day. I can’t recommend Amber highly enough..”
“Amber was Awesome. We contacted her on short notice,and she showed up right away to meet everyone on our little farm. Rynn our little 6lb Shorkie Poo took to her right away and he is usually the hard one because he is the boss, and Bodie the 100 lb Lab loves everyone. Plus the cat, bird and 11 ducks all loved her. We even found some of her own little treats she brought for he kids. If you are looking for a loving, caring, respectful person for your fur babies Amber is the one for you. Thanks you so much Amber Dave & Jen”
About: I love Rover! I mean, what better job exists than to get paid to spend time with other people's animals? My name is Dan, and I have been around animals my whole life. Currently I am a cat dad of two girls, but I am also comfortable and familiar with dogs, rabbits, and other animals as well. I currently live in a large three bedroom. The property is out in the country, but only a few miles away from Gainesville, so it's far enough to be away from the sounds and stress of the city without really being in the middle of nowhere. It's not the fanciest place, in need of remodeling, but it is calm, comfortable, and pet friendly. There is no smoking inside. The property is not fenced, so I will be keeping everyone inside, except for supervised walks, etc. I am able to board cats, most dogs, and other animals as well. I work from home in addition to doing this, so when I do have a furry guest, I am home twenty four hours a day. I like to actually spend time with the animals I have visiting, so if you have a super playful dog- or one that just likes to hang out on the couch next to someone- I'd probably be a good match. If I am not boarding anyone at the moment, I can walk dogs, feed cats, etc, as well, as long as you are not too far away from where I live. Things I require: 1. I need to meet your animals first (especially for dogs). 2. If I don't feel comfortable , or I feel like an animal is not comfortable with me, I will not confirm the booking. Animals are just like people, we all have those we like and don't like, so don't take it personal if I decline a booking. 3. I do need emergency contact and vet information. I hope I never have to deal with any emergency, but it is better to be prepared and ready, than to be running around scrambling if something does happen. 4. Of course, I need as much food, etc, as is needed for the stay. Things I offer: 1. Lots of attention. Of course, some animals- especially some cats- aren't really keen on it, and that's okay! But if they are, I love to play with my guests! 2. I don't mix animals from different families. 3. I don't charge extra for extra cats, and I only charge a little bit extra for extra dogs. I have been doing this off and on for some time now, and while I don't have as many clients as I want to have, my reviews are good and solid for a reason. I have my own two cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own two are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are less traveled, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority.

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“This was my dogs first time staying the night with someone outside of family. My dog was nervous at first and went straight to his crate. By the time I picked him up the next morning he was so happy. He warmed up to Kristin and her family and played well with the other dogs. Kristin updated me with a picture and that he was able to sleep through the night no problem. This put our minds at ease. We will be booking again in the future.”
“As a first time client I was completely unsure what to expect and/or the general way that we would interact. To my great relief and mild angst I found that it couldn't have gone any better. From a business perspective Cyndi was a consummate professional and a valued asset to this organization. As a pet owner I found Cyndi to be caring and respectful in welcoming our dog into her home and I don't know what more I or anyone else could ask when entrusting their pets into another person's care. I value her dedication and would certainly do this again should the need arise.”
“Julia and Alllen took a good care of my two beautiful cata They responded to my messages , sent me pictures everyday , and hand fed my cat when she was anxious and refused to eat They are a great pet care giver and i will use their service again”
“Ashley is amazing! From the first time we brought Pete to meet Ashley at the meet and greet we knew she was going to be the perfect sitter! Ashley provides picture updates and is quick to communicate! She makes drop off and pick up easy and has the perfect set up! We’ve already booked our next trips with Ashley!”
“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“I had a medical emergency and was recently hospitalized. I called Taylor & Angel to watch my little girl Cinnamon for 3 days and they not only did they drop everything and agree to take her but they drove over to my house, collect her dog food and get her out of her crate and take her back to their farm. You guys are the best!”
“Bill and Krista were so amazing! They were able to take in my two German shepherds on such a short notice. They are beyond flexible and understanding of the little bumps in the road that came along with our return time and kept me updated with plenty of photos! When they say 24/7 care they truly mean it. When I’m back in the area I’ll be 1000% rebooking with them!”
“My baby was well cared for and the pictures and texts I received made me feel comfortable. Brianna and her Mom were very sweet. We hope they can keep Sugar baby when we come next year. I have been pleased both times I used Rover.”
“Samantha was great with Donut. It was his first time away from home. I will be glad to have her take care of our fur baby again. Her interaction with him was great. She kept intouch with pictures we knew what he was doing. Thank you Samantha.”
“Yalessa took such great care of our pup! She had a blast and was very spoiled! Yalessa clearly really cares about animals in her care. She sent constant updates and even expressed concerns as they arose. She asked permission before exposing our pup to different things. She truly paid great attention to our baby! She came home smiling!”
