“Angie is fantastic and she communicates well through texting and the rover app. She kept me informed of how my dog is doing often and takes photos. He ate all of his dog food which is rare as he used to be sad at other places. Toby was happy staying with them and felt loved. Her husband is great too. We will be using them again.”
“If you're looking for someone to trust with your pup, definitely recommend Bill & Krista! Bill was so kind and great to work with. And by the sounds of it (confirmed with pictures) our anxious Mara Bear was living her best life while we were out of town. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“My son dropped off our dog, but said that Rebecca was very pleasant and the transition of leaving our dog with her went smoothly. I received pictures of our girl every day, and Rebecca reassured us that she was doing great. Our dog seemed to enjoy her visit with Rebecca :)”
“We left our pup in Becky’s care for over 2 weeks and she was absolutely fantastic! We did a meet n greet prior to make sure we were all a good fit, and it was. We were out of the country so this was a really big deal for us, knowing we could keep in touch an be assured she would be safe and loved on. Could not have asked for more, we received pictures and videos regularly as well as texts sharing her day. She listens to what you need and want and consider her a friend after this boarding experience! ❤️”
“Alia was awesome with the dogs and provided me with several updates and photos while I was away! You can tell she is an animal lover and took great care of my fur babies! I definitely plan on using her in the future!!!”
“Keliecathran is so caring and inclusive with our girls. She makes them feel comfortable and welcome, and they love to be with her dog, Coconut, too. They will be staying again, soon.”
“Needed to board our dog max for 2 weeks during an international trip at the last minute. They were both very friendly and accommodating of our dog! Will definitely book again!”
“Charles took excellent care of our two baby pups. They certainly enjoyed their stay. Would highly recommend Charles and will definitely be using his services again. He's merely awesome.”
“Shayla did an awesome job! She was very good at sending pictures and letting me know how my 2 fur babies were doing. We came home a day early and she went above and beyond to help work out the refund! Thanks Shayla :)”
“Repeat Repeat Repeat Fur Client. George loves his time with Melissa & Mike. My husband and I are completely worry free when he stays there. We are so very grateful for them and how they take such care of our Little George who thinks he is not a dog.”
“This was the first time I’ve left our fur babies with someone who wasn’t family. Debbie took great care of them and gave me updates about their stay with photos. It eased my mind about leaving them.”
About: I once fostered greyhounds, I was up to 10 at 1 time, and I could walk all of them at the same time without a problem. I am currently not working. So I will have every time available that you need someone can I live across from the walk park and just down the street from the dog park I currently do not have any pets , so there should not be a problem with your dog in my home if needed i have a very safe dog friendly home
“Katherine took care of Buster while I was out of town. Buster suffers from bad anxiety and does not travel well. Katherine’s care allowed Buster to remain in a familiar environment and familiar faces. I could tell he was sad to see her go. I will definitely reach out to Katherine in the future to care for Buster.”
About: I have lots of experience with big animals and small old and young and I also understand that they all can have different needs at different stages of life and I can help with that. I work Monday through Thursday so my Friday and weekends are free to help. I can do early morning walks mid and and evening times too depending on the needs My home is pet proof I do have animals of my own and they love it when new friends come over to play. I do pet sit for friends when they have to go out of town. If you are more comfortable with me coming to you. I always respect your house and fur baby just like my own and keep things clean
“Alexus was great! She communicated with us. She sent us pictures and every time I checked in she responded, and she took very good care of our children!! She’s awesome I highly recommend her!”

“We recently moved to the area and chose Lori to take care of our 13 yo baby based on her fantastic reviews. She definitely lived up to these reviews. Lori took amazing care of our attention-needy diva Ava! She was also very punctual and communicated with us with both pictures and a detailed breakdown during every visit. If you are looking for someone to take excellent care of your baby, we highly recommend Lori!”
“We had Berkley drop in on our cat each day while we were on vacation. She was excellent in all aspects. Communication with us, punctual, playing with the cat, cleaning the litter box... I would not look anywhere else, will hire her again.”
“Teri took care of our two cats and did an excellent job. She followed all instructions and took the time to play with and engage with our cats. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She also cleaned up after the cats. Thank you, Teri and Rover!”
“Jessica was great! This was the 1st real vacation that we've taken in 10 yrs all because we couldn't leave our 3 kitties boarded. We agreed to try Rover & after meeting Jessica, we knew we were doing the right thing! Our kitties are spoiled... no doubt about it... and it was going to take a special person to be patient & loving enough for this task! Enter Jessica! We had the best person for the job! I see other vacays in our future! Thank you Jessica (& Rover).”
“Joanna took great care of our cat, Henry, while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and even came on extra days to see him. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Henry was well taken care of. We came home to a happy, healthy cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“Shay came twice to our house beforehand and took good notes. She went above and beyond taking care of our kitties and even took special care and measures for our 1 problem kitty until we could get back and get him to the vet today. Highly recommended with kitties and homesitting”
“Melissa is amazing. She takes care of my animals and make sure they’re fed and properly cared and loved. I can’t sing our praises enough. I would absolutely use her. I was away for 10 days and I came back. Too well fed, loved, and taken care of animals.”
“Sabrina was beyond phenomenal! From the first meet and greet, we immediately felt confident that she would be responsible to watch our home and our cat. She was timely, organized and clean, communicative, and sent us the cutest photo updates. She is also very detail oriented and shared a few updates on our cat to ensure we were aware of a few habits that could be indicative of a developing ear infection. We cannot wait to hire Sabrina again in the future!”
About: I love animals and have always been the neighborhood dog walker since I was young, I now live in the Villages and have two dogs. I love taking them to the local dog park and would happy to bring some of that love I have for them into your pets lives! I am very flexible with my hours and am willing to drive to your house to walk or watch your pet. I require at least a one day notice. My biggest accomplishment for house/dog sitting would be for your dog to feel as comfortable as possible in your home while you are out of town!
“Misty came by for a third meet and greet with Mia and we went over feeding instructions and the walking route for her morning post breakfast walk. Mia recognized Misty and was wagging her tail. Misty was good with Mia and there were no problems walking, or coming in the house. Misty was on time, even for early morning visit which was appreciated. Thanks!”
“If you’re looking for a pet sitter who treats your fur baby like their own, look no further! She checked in on my cat every single day last week while I was out of town, and from the very first visit, I could tell he was in great hands. What truly set her apart was the communication — she sent photos and updates after every drop-in without me even having to ask. As a pet parent who worries from afar, that peace of mind was priceless. She made sure he was eating, drinking, and staying entertained with his toys, which is honestly everything you hope for when you can’t be there yourself. The trust factor is real — I’ve already booked her again for an upcoming work trip, and this time she’ll be caring for my dogs too. That says it all! If you want someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, Carol Ann is your person!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities — from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or appetite, and keeping cats’ routines consistent to minimize stress while their owners are away. With my veterinary technician background, I’m skilled at reading feline body language and creating a calm, trusting environment for even the most timid cats.
“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”

“Our dog had a great time with Becky! She was vey accommodating with our changing arrival times and responds to texts immediately. Her home is extremely dog friendly with a fenced yard that our dog loved enough to do “zoomies.” She also invited us to a meet and greet visit before the daycare day. I would recommend Becky to anyone.”
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.

“Chrissy is always amazing. We've loved being able to leave our puppy with her while on vacation with our family in Florida. I'd recommend her to anyone else and she's the first person I'll reach out to if I'm in the area again and need a sitter.”
“Kelicathran was so nice and accommodating. We never had time for a meet and greet but it was as if she already knew us. She welcomed all of us and took excellent care of our girls. We loved the pics. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child.

About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
“I have had Bailey stay with Tifany and her family a couple of times, and each time she has ensured that Bailey felt right at home with her other pups! Tifany makes sure her home is clean and dog friendly. Tifany has an outdoor area also ready for the dogs to play and have fun. If they get dirty, Tifany washes them so they come home clean as well as exhausted. She communicates regularly throughout your dog’s stay with pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Tifany and her husband!”
“Amazing person, communication, easy to get along, understanding, patient, my baby was happy because she have 2 other babies so he was able to have play time, she send video and pictures all the time , I had to extend my stay to 2 other days and she was happy to accommodate me, another thing I love I can tell she take care of him, he come back the way he was drop off, smelling good, no poop under his feet or smell like he was rolling in pee. He is not a cage dog I will recommend her 100% and rebook all the time”
“My golden doodle, Brandy had her first sleep over with Charles and she loved it! While there, Brandy was treated like family. She was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I received pictures of Brandy and updates. The yard is incredibly big, fenced in, lots of shade. This is a perfect place for any dog to be!”
“Shayla was AWESOME! She was very upfront on how she engages with the dogs through our the day and answered all my questions. This was my first time for my dog to be away from my partner and I for more than an hour so of course I was nervous. I was nervous for no reason! Our dog didn't even realize we were gone and had a blast being in Shaylas care all day and playing with the other dogs! He was absolutely in doggy paradise!”

If you're looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond, Joanna is the person to call. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation!”

About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.
“Great experience with Jessica! She is friendly, reliable and great with our senior dogs. She took great pics during their walks too. I will definitely call on her again.”
About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).

Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”
“Teri continues to be my dog’s favorite dog walker for those times I need an extra hand. She is so sweet to Bella and they love each other so much! Terri continues to be reliable and punctual, and I hope that she continues to be available when I need her.”

“If you're looking for someone to trust with your pup, definitely recommend Bill & Krista! Bill was so kind and great to work with. And by the sounds of it (confirmed with pictures) our anxious Mara Bear was living her best life while we were out of town. Will definitely be using them again!”
“My son dropped off our dog, but said that Rebecca was very pleasant and the transition of leaving our dog with her went smoothly. I received pictures of our girl every day, and Rebecca reassured us that she was doing great. Our dog seemed to enjoy her visit with Rebecca :)”
“We left our pup in Becky’s care for over 2 weeks and she was absolutely fantastic! We did a meet n greet prior to make sure we were all a good fit, and it was. We were out of the country so this was a really big deal for us, knowing we could keep in touch an be assured she would be safe and loved on. Could not have asked for more, we received pictures and videos regularly as well as texts sharing her day. She listens to what you need and want and consider her a friend after this boarding experience! ❤️”
“Shayla did an awesome job! She was very good at sending pictures and letting me know how my 2 fur babies were doing. We came home a day early and she went above and beyond to help work out the refund! Thanks Shayla :)”
“Repeat Repeat Repeat Fur Client. George loves his time with Melissa & Mike. My husband and I are completely worry free when he stays there. We are so very grateful for them and how they take such care of our Little George who thinks he is not a dog.”
“This was the first time I’ve left our fur babies with someone who wasn’t family. Debbie took great care of them and gave me updates about their stay with photos. It eased my mind about leaving them.”
About: I once fostered greyhounds, I was up to 10 at 1 time, and I could walk all of them at the same time without a problem. I am currently not working. So I will have every time available that you need someone can I live across from the walk park and just down the street from the dog park I currently do not have any pets , so there should not be a problem with your dog in my home if needed i have a very safe dog friendly home
“Katherine took care of Buster while I was out of town. Buster suffers from bad anxiety and does not travel well. Katherine’s care allowed Buster to remain in a familiar environment and familiar faces. I could tell he was sad to see her go. I will definitely reach out to Katherine in the future to care for Buster.”
About: I have lots of experience with big animals and small old and young and I also understand that they all can have different needs at different stages of life and I can help with that. I work Monday through Thursday so my Friday and weekends are free to help. I can do early morning walks mid and and evening times too depending on the needs My home is pet proof I do have animals of my own and they love it when new friends come over to play. I do pet sit for friends when they have to go out of town. If you are more comfortable with me coming to you. I always respect your house and fur baby just like my own and keep things clean
“Alexus was great! She communicated with us. She sent us pictures and every time I checked in she responded, and she took very good care of our children!! She’s awesome I highly recommend her!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“Was an overall great experience.Mrs Janell was amazing and took great care of our pup.no issues and had great communication.also helped out as I was new to the site and how to book her.”
“We are retired so we travel a lot. We have never boarded our dogs with a more competent dog sitter. Our dogs actually leep out of the car to get to her when we drive in the driveway. Our dogs are English Bulldog Champions and one is intact, but Peggy manages his care profesionally--even on Thanksgiving day. As a vet technician she was also able to administer medication to our older dog. She lives on a farm so there is a lot of area for dogs to run off leash. They don't sleep in a kennel building, they sleep in her house! She is a lovely person with a good heart.”
“Gage and Ann are kind, caring, and very responsive. They take such good care of our dogs and really adore the doggies as their own. We are so happy to have found Gage and Ann, and so grateful for their help with our pets.”
About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
“Once again my three thrived under the care of Krista. In her updates it was clear the dogs were involved in daily activities. Since I was driving long distance, I appreciated her flexibility with arrival time. I recommend her highly, (hoping she does not get too busy to care for my dogs on my next Fla visit)”
