“Kathy J. is an excellent dog sitter. Her home is clean, and built for puppies to have fun. The atmosphere that our babies receive from Kathy and her husband is full of much loving care and fun. Our puppies enjoyed playing with their two puppies during their stay. Kathy sent pictures and updates everyday so we could know how our boys were doing which was awesome. Won't hesitate calling on Kathy J. again if care is needed. ”
“Wonderful doggy stay!! Sends lots of videos and pictures so you feel at ease that your little fur baby is well cared for. Really great drop off system. Highly recommend!! We won’t go anywhere else.”
“Jen was very nice. She loves obedience training and was able to understand that my dog is high energy. She sent a picture that my dog looks so happy! Will rebook”
“Denise and Brett were amazing with Xena. Upon drop off, both asked questions regarding Xena’s specific needs, barriers, etc to make sure she was comfortable and “at home” . I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“Erin took fantastic care of our two senior dogs over the fourth of July holiday. They came home much happier than when they had previously stayed at a kennel. We received updates and pictures and Erin made sure our sensitive dog survived the fireworks. We will definitely be contacting Erin in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”
“Awesome experience for Bentley and us! Frances texted us daily and sent us pictures of our little dog. Her home was warm and inviting and she had a huge, fenced in backyard for Bentley to play in. We will most definitely use her in the future!”
“Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P”
“Suzanne’s attentive care and regular communication through videos and pictures demonstrate a genuine commitment to Buddy’s well-being. It's reassuring to find a sitter who treats your dog as part of their own family. Highly recommend Suzanne for her excellent service and loving approach to Buddy and I will gladly use her again.”
“I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“We were very pleased with Anne’s care for our dog . Our dog had emergency surgery 3 weeks before the dog sitting. We reviewed the extras that Sophie would need - exercises, activity restrictions, special accommodations which Anne felt she could handle. She kept in touch with us via texts & photos. We returned home to a happy , healthy dog. We would definitely use Anne in the future!”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”

“What a wonderful experience this was. Christine truly gave me peace of mind when I had to go out of town. I truly felt like my animals were loved and taken care of! She sent so many photos and updated me consistently. 10/10”
“Tracy is an excellent sitter. She showed genuine care for our cats, brought them fun toys, and spent time petting them and playing with them. We loved getting updates and photos from her. When we came back home, we could tell our cats had been happy and safe. We recommend Tracy without a doubt and we’ll definitely book her in the future.”
“Very pleased with the care my cat received. Brandon did everything we agreed to in terms of care and was responsive to all my text messages. He sat on the floor to be on my cats level and stayed for a full 30 minutes each time. He took cute pics of my chonky boy and left my home exactly as he found it. Would use again and recommend to others.”
“Devon was incredible taking care of our cat! She spent so much extra time with her, and we had such peace of mind knowing that our cat is in great hands. It’s always scary leaving your pets in the care of someone else, but Devon made it so easy. Thank you Devon!!”
“Angela W. Is wonderful! I’ve used her services 3 times now and she has taken excellent care of my cats and gave me peace of mind while traveling. I will continue to ask her to help when needed. Great job!”

My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too. I pet sit for my neighbors and they are the ones who suggested I offer my services out. They will be my best references. I cared for fish, hamsters, bunny's and even pet chickens. Luv them all. Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓
“We are so grateful to have found Nichole. Our two Cairn Terrier brothers like being home and we prefer having them there, especially compared to the stress and expense of taking them to a kennel. We had a great meet & greet with Nichole and our pups took to her immediately. This was a difficult trip for us (mom’s funeral), and getting updates and photos from Nichole has been very comforting. Her enthusiasm and professionalism have helped make this trip so much better and opened the door for future travels knowing our dogs are very well cared for. Thank you, Nichole, for being excellent.”

“Allie was great. My kitty Suki who has anxiety loved her, played with her and let her pet her. She even took out the garbage for us without me asking. Allie brought in the mail, sent pics of Suki and watered plants too. Excellent! I highly recommend and will ask for her again.”

About: We provide reliable care that keep your kitties safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. With two fur babies of our own we respect each cat’s unique personality and routine, whether that means active playtime, quiet companionship, or simply maintaining a familiar schedule. We’re attentive to details like feeding, fresh water, litter care, and environment. Most importantly, we bring patience, compassion, and genuine love for cats, so your pet feels cared for and you can enjoy peace of mind.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, so I understand how different each one can be. I have two cats of my own a tabby and a black cat, so I’m used to their routines and making sure they feel comfortable in their space. I’ve fostered a couple of cats and have pet sat for friends and family over the years. That’s taught me patience and how to adjust to each cat’s personality, especially ones that need a little more time to feel safe. I make sure they’re fed, their space is clean, and they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m calm, reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your cat is being well cared for.
“Holly was great with our pups! She ran over to be with them when we had a last minute change of plans. We really appreciated her care and attention to our fur babies! Definitely recommend!”
“Tracy was an absolute blessing!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I traveled out of state. I received updates and pictures with each visit. It was so comforting knowing my boys where well taken care of while I couldn't be there. If I ever have to leave them again, I will be sure to rebook Tracy with Rover! Thank you Tracy!!”
About: I have both owned and taken care of cats for years. I absolutely love their personality and the love they give. I know cats can be a little skittish and I have the patience and understanding to make sure they feel comfortable.
About: There is no dog or cat, in my care, that I won't go the extra mile to keep safe. I have trained my own pets, currently my dog (Brooklyn, an English Cream Golden Retriever) will bring the mail back to the house, she will sit, she will wait, she will stay, she will go, she will lay, she will roll over, she will swim too .... all on command. My cats (both mixed breeds) love their special attention and actually come when called by name. I recommend you challenge me - and see how much love I share with your pets. One thing I don't do is get angry with any pets and I always show love, compassion and kindness to pets in my care. I am certain that you will be happy with me caring for your precious pets. First priority are always the pets. I have and protect my pets from outside threats and have nothing around the yard that could harm them. My yard is fully fenced and easy for dogs to run, fetch, play. I will take care of your pet, as if it was my pet. And I always allow the pets to sleep on our king bed if they want to.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, especially cats. I’ve always loved cats and feel a natural connection with them. While I don’t have professional cat-sitting experience yet, I am eager to learn and grow my knowledge about their care and behavior. I’m responsible, patient, and always committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“Carrie and her husband Mike did a great job taking care of Peaches for an afternoon while we were on vacation in the area. She got plenty of attention and exercise too. They have no pets of their own at present so are a great choice if you want your fur-baby to have 1:1 attention.”

About: ✔️Availability: July 10 - Nov 30, 2026 Hi 👋 New here! I am a passionate animal lover and am experienced sitting all kinds of dogs and cats all over the US and abroad. Over the past few years, my husband and I have been traveling across the US taking care of dogs and cats (on TrustedHouseSitters) and seeing this beautiful country. We are residents of Venice, Florida and as much as we wish to own pets, the travel-bug in us prevents us from doing so. Hence, I signed up for Rover! Traveling or not, I wish to spend most of my time in the healing company of animals, so I am here to make more new furry friends while looking after them! (Please see the screenshots of some of my THS reviews on my Rover profile - I have 20+ 5-star reviews on THS) I work from home so I can care for your pet in my home any day of the week. I am also available to house sit if my schedule permits. I live in Gran Paradiso. My home is spacious and backyard is framed with a lanai, so your fur baby will be completely safe here. We also have beautiful grounds for walking dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and can attend to your pet as per your requirement. Happy to discuss your pet’s routine and specific needs to ensure best care is provided for your fur baby.

“I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾”

About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.

My cats (2) are inside kitties that love everyone. My children are 8&10 and have grown up around all types of animals so they are very helpful and respectful. Please message with any questions!

Tuesday and Thursday I attend classes, I'm free around 11am-3pm, but if anything changes I'll keep this updated. I have a cat and she's curious of other animals but she always keeps her distance. I feed her 3 times a day max. She tends to be on her own little schedule every day, but I also take her on daily walks. She's a cat who loves to explore everything with me.
“Jade was amazing. She Went above and beyond walking my dog. I have a dog that could not walk, and instead of leaving her behind, Jade carried her on the walk with my first dog. That touched my heart and made my dogs happy.”
“Angela does a fantastic job with our 75 lb Golden Retriever! She is totally dependable and Zoe loves her. I would highly recommend Angela for your dog walking needs!”
About: I enjoy walking and playing, and all the animals I have had the pleasure of taking care of benefit from that.

I have plenty of time, room, and love for your pet. I have taken care of friends, neighbors, and relatives pets for many years up north, and now I am ready to be your pets friend in the south.

“Kathy J. is an excellent dog sitter. Her home is clean, and built for puppies to have fun. The atmosphere that our babies receive from Kathy and her husband is full of much loving care and fun. Our puppies enjoyed playing with their two puppies during their stay. Kathy sent pictures and updates everyday so we could know how our boys were doing which was awesome. Won't hesitate calling on Kathy J. again if care is needed. ”
“Jen was very nice. She loves obedience training and was able to understand that my dog is high energy. She sent a picture that my dog looks so happy! Will rebook”
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Erin took fantastic care of our two senior dogs over the fourth of July holiday. They came home much happier than when they had previously stayed at a kennel. We received updates and pictures and Erin made sure our sensitive dog survived the fireworks. We will definitely be contacting Erin in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P”
“Suzanne’s attentive care and regular communication through videos and pictures demonstrate a genuine commitment to Buddy’s well-being. It's reassuring to find a sitter who treats your dog as part of their own family. Highly recommend Suzanne for her excellent service and loving approach to Buddy and I will gladly use her again.”
“I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Kimber did an amazing job with my two big boys! She was attentive, calm, and true dog lover. She sent videos multiple times a day and it was wonderful to see how happy all the pups were. Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer was great! She sent me photos and videos almost daily and took great care of my babies! She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times as my schedule was a bit unpredictable when I was gone. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”
“After having our original Rover boarder back out two days before our trip due to Hurricane Milton, we were very fortunate to have found Monica at the last moment. As a native Floridian, Monica’s confidence made us more comfortable with leaving Jolene to ride out a major hurricane. As things worked out, we were extremely pleased with the turn of events. Jolene seemed very comfortable with Monica and, after a couple of days of initial shyness, Jolene became very comfortable with her new family. She loved having the large backyard to run in, and thoroughly enjoyed running with Monica’s energetic dogs. Monica sent us lots of pictures during our absence, which gave us a lot of comfort. There is no question that Monica will be our first choice for future bookings.”
“Marybeth and Russ provided excellent care to Finn. They sent us updates and pictures where we really appreciated. Finn seemed very happy when we picked him up which pleased us.”
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“I am grateful to Riya for taking such wonderful care of our dog Bella while we were away. I received daily updates, photos and videos of Bella. Which was really very reassuring. When we returned Bella was calm, happy and clearly well loved. I highly recommend Riya for anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
