“A few days before boarding our other corgi passed away suddenly, leaving us and Thunder heartbroken. I advised Floyd and Connie, and they were very kind. We arrived to drop off Thunder, and found out there were 2 other Corgis there. This made us even more confident and happy that Thunder wouldn't be lonely. They gave Thunder extra love and attention. We look forward to his next overnight”
“I am so thankful I found Monica. We had a last minute trip we had to take and she was available. She was amazing with my girl. We had some accidentl behavior issues and she was a sweetheart. We unfortunately lost our pitbull a week prior to Zaylah's stay (that made it zaylah's first stay without her sister of 10 years) and she a complete wreck. Which made me a wreck knowing I had to leave her in such a state. But Monica helped her feel comfortable, helped her eat (which is one of the issues we were having with her) . Hands down I am so lucky I had an opportunity to meet her. I highly recommend Monica I am definitely going to book again!”

“Aliyana was absolutely amazing with my boy Kenai super attentive towards him and he had friends there too with her animals. She also sends pictures and videos throughout the day so your always in the loop of things. She took him out to play and on multiple walks and treats.

This is now our go to pet sitter”
“Dana was wonderful from the very start! Very quick and thorough with communication and I immediately knew that she would treat our boy like he was one of her own. Dana was eager to learn all about my dog and she has great knowledge and instincts about how to care for pets. She also sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was awesome! When we came to pick him up, I could tell that he had already bonded with Dana and really thrived in the environment. We are so happy we found Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great, communicative, caring dog sitter.”

About: I have been around cats since I was little. Right now we have two cats in my home. I can pretty much deal with any cat you can think of because I have been around so many. Building a connection and making then feel secure is what helps me with them.
About: I had a cat when I was younger and have cat sat for friends multiple times over the years. I love cats! Since I don't own any right now I'd love to help with your favorite feline ❤️
“Tom was the best and treated our 2 older kitty's like they were his own! I have pics of them eating, drinking, taking meds etc. I felt totally comfortable with this man taking care of my two prize furbabies.”
About: i own 3 cats (soon to be 4! 🍀) and i love each of their different personalities. i have been a cat-lover at heart since my first cat Saphie. i’d do anything for them because they are my babies! i’d love to take care of yours as if they were my own. 🤍
“This was our 2nd time Brittany had taken care of our 4 cats and she has done a great job again! She is very communicative and follows directions well. I can trust my beloved cats in her care. Thank you Brittany!”
“First time trying Rover.com to have someone watch my 2 cats. Searched my area and found Jennifer B. Of course I wanted a "cat person" and that is what Jennifer B. is! I'm sure there isn't a better cat sitter out there. She took as good of care of my cats as I would have - and that is saying a lot. I would highly recommend Jennifer for your pet sitting needs. I know that she is my absolute "go to" pet sitter. If you need a pet sitter - look no further and consider yourself and your pets lucky if she is available. I will be requesting her again soon in the future - I look forward to having her watch my cats, and my cats will look forward to her visits again.”
“Very happy to have found Dawn! She's caring and loves your babies like her own. Dawn was great at documenting Cashmere's glucose level (patience to get the blood draw is necessary and she was and gentle as well) and administering his insulin .... just all around very detailed in her notes and very appreciated! She sent pics too! Dawn moved any packages inside the house and was kind enough to water a plant outside when we didn't get much rain. We appreciate her detail and genuine care and highly recommend her! Thank you SO much, Dawn!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Solana
“Bryanna took wonderful care of Gilda, my 10 month old English Cocker Spaniel, for two days this week. Bryanna communicated extremely well. She provides secure indoor and outdoor space, and lots of play activities. After the first day, Gilda was extremely eager to return to Bryanna’s care for the second day. And, after the second day, Gilda was exhausted from 2 straight days of play and activities. I will book again with Bryanna, and recommend that you book with her too. Have fun in Punta Gorda, while knowing your precious fur baby is being well cared for by Bryanna.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
“Miranda was wonderful to work with! She took great interest in our dog; gave walks, playtime and cuddles. She has a clean safe home with a nice fenced in yard. Provided pictures and was quick to respond to any outreaches and was very accommodating. We would absolutely work with her again when in the area. Highly recommend!”
“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love being around animals. From a young age, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away.

About: I am 58 years old and have had pets since I was 5 - I grew up on a farm raising dairy cows, horses, dogs and cats. Most recently, I have dedicated my animal loving skills to the 4H Youth Dog Project, running the Florida State Fair Youth Dog Show for 20 years and training our youth and dogs through day camps, week long camps, and local weekly training. Over the years our house has kept many family friend's pets for weekends or weeks as needed. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter training obedience and manners class for newly adopted pets and owners. Now that our kids are grown, I have decided to work part time as a pet sitter so that you can enjoy your vacation or trip without any worry as to the loving care your family pet(s) will receive. I am self employed working part time from home, so my schedule is flexible, whether sitting for your pet in my home, your home, or just daily care. I have a fenced in side yard at my home for off leash potty time, and a nice neighborhood to walk in for exercise as needed.
“Absolutely amazing! Nice set up for the dogs, clean and cool. Very accommodating, I would highly recommend Erica for your dog sitting needs, no worrying about your dog in her care.”

I am a one of a kind person who talks to my animals and enjoy their company and personalities. I allow them to be themselves and still maintain rules. I care for my animals like my family. Love is so easy with sloppy kisses and wagging tails. You will never worry when they are with me. Honestly? I like them more then people! Is that wrong to say? Just know I will care for them as if my own. I will give them attention and love! I never want to board mine in a kennel and neither should you.

“Yesterday my 2 dogs visited with Michael all day. I was a nervous wreck leaving them but he was confident they’d be fine. The were more than fine; they were happy and content, and enjoyed playing with his dog Salty. Today they’re exhausted and napping. A tired dog is a good dog! Thanks Michael”

“Everything went absolutely wonderful with Alexandria! She took the time to come over ahead of the scheduled walks to meet Snickers, which meant so much to me. Snickers liked her right away, and I could tell she felt comfortable and at ease. Alexandria was always on time, incredibly patient, and let Snickers set the pace for each walk. She was very attentive and intuitive—she knew exactly when Snickers was getting too warm and ready to head back inside, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also loved receiving pictures every day—it truly made my day and reassured me that Snickers was happy and well cared for. Alexandria is kind, reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pet. I will absolutely be using her again! 🐾💛”
