“Great services, highly knowledgeable, and will send lots of cute pictures of your dog to check in! Highly recommend booking with her, just don’t take all the time slots 😆”
“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.”
About: Having a pet in our home for the last 20 years, I welcome yours to visit! We have a 14 year old son who loves to play with all dogs. I do work 8:00 AM -5:00 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends I am home most of the day. Our 4 legged family members are ready for playtime when I get home so thats what they get! We have a large privacy fenced back yard to keep your fur baby safe. I can kennel when I leave for work. We have a rose bushes in the yard but no other plants to worry about!
“Anas & Tate took great care of my dog. Izzy is a bigger fairly high energy Airedale. Anas & Tate had no problems handling his needs. Their setup is beautiful. I quite big fenced yard allowed for plenty of exercise while being totally secure. They kept me updated with cute pictures and videos during Izzy’s stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to rely on them again as the need arises.”
“Adam was a great communicator and was great with our dog! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request for an earlier drop-off and sent regular updates about how things were going. Would definitely recommend him and leave Mochi with him again!!”
“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!”
“Alejandra made herself available with less than 24 hours notice and she took really good care of our dog Anya. She treated Anya like she was her own. We were glad to know that Alejandra had 2 dogs of her own and they are friendly and well behaved dogs who enjoy playing with other dogs. Anya is very energetic and Alejandra's yard provided a much needed outlet and playplace for Anya. We will definitely be contacting Alejandra the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Mohini took such amazing care of my pup! I was sent updates, photos and details about how she was doing. She got walks everyday and even some extra approved treats! I’m so very grateful for the care and would highly recommend Mohini!!”
“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.”
“Alistair and his family did a great job of taking care of Lacy. She got lots of exercise and attention and came home a tired but happy pup. This is the 2nd time they've watched Lacy and she was very excited when we dropped her off.”
About: Connecting with animals at a young age, I am a natural at handling their needs as well as seeing when something is wrong. Having had an array of animals to care for for over 30 years, I have alot of experience and am well equipped to handle problems, should they arise. I have been lucky enough to care for many breeds of dogs and cats as well as countless other animals. Our 10 acre farm is completely fenced in with ample space to run and is home to 2 dogs and other farm animals. Here at Emerald Oak Ranch, our family strives to take the very best care of every animal we come into contact with. Book your animal today for a fun, peaceful farm-cation! Animal care comes first here at Emerald Oak Ranch! Whether it’s waking up early to feed or even checks during the night, we make sure all animals here are well taken care of and cared for. Our property is fully fenced, and two dogs are onsite as well as farm animals. Depending on your pets needs, they will have some friendly buddies or we can keep them separate. If you just need a quick house call or walk for your pets, I will carefully follow your instructions to make your animals as comfortable as possible! It is my priority to make sure your pets are safe and taken care of at all times.
“Kim is amazing!!! My pup had such a good time that I am afraid she wanted to stay!! Kim was responsible and did a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone would get along. She sent videos and pictures daily and she is very responsive when messaging. Kim’s love and concern for all animals shines through!! It was so relieving to know that I could trust Kim with my girl. I never had any concerns! I will rebook for sure!!”
“I love that they always responded in a timely manor, their home was pet friendly and Riley had a blast. I really appreciated all the check-in’s and photos. I will definitely be rebooking when it’s needed!!!!”
“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our two pups! She is very friendly & our dogs warmed right up to her. She was also great at communicating & asking questions to make sure that she was meeting our pups needs.”
About: I always had cats growing up and have been a dog sitter for friends/family the past eight years. I’ve had a pup of my own for four years now and can’t imagine my life without her. I treat animals like children and understand how important it is to take care of others’ pets to their standard and beyond! I am a full-time teacher leaving my availability more limited during the school year but I am extremely open during the summer (unless I’m already booked). I do need a bit of notice but am willing to work out a plan at the last minute if possible! House sitting/Drop-Ins: I will always treat your home and belongings with the utmost respect. I’m a firm believer in leaving the home as clean or even cleaner than when I entered it. I will ensure your fur baby’s daily routine is met with careful attention to detail and comfort! Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard and a fur baby of my own to help keep yours company (but let’s do a meet and greet to make sure they get along to ensure their safety)! We love going on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the backyard, hanging out inside in the AC during the hotter months, and cuddling on the couch. Sally is my only dog (Beatles is my sister’s and stays with Sally during our joint vacations). Sally is crate trained for anxiety while alone, so as a safety measure, you are required to bring a crate for your dog when boarding. Dogs will only be crated when we aren’t home. My husband will also help out with your fur baby at times, so if you’d like to meet him too, just let me know! :)

“Emily is the best ever!! I was out of town for a week and she came every day to see my two cats and she did so much for me! She fed them, played with them and helped with the litter and washing their food bowls. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She texts back right away if you need her and she will give your pets tons of attention. She is awesome!!”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful as a cat sitter. She watched over our 2 cats while were gone and played with them and took care of their needs. I honestly recommend Kim as an honest and loving cat sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
About: I moved up to Gainesville with the goal of going to vet school back in 2013. I attended UF and shortly after, started to work for an animal hospital. It was that very first hospital where my cat obsession blossomed. I strayed away from the idea of vet school and instead caught the shelter bug. My passion is to rescue cats and bring awareness to these magical creatures. I have since started my own nonprofit dedicated to that passion. I would love to make sure that while cat parents are away, their loved ones are well cared for. Call me a crazy cat lady but I wear that badge with pride 🐈⬛🐈🐾✨
About: I stay over night for clients if needed I can also take care of other animals not just dogs and cats. I will also stay in contact with client through out the stay with their pet I am a senior at Gainesville high and have a part-time key holder position at palmetto moon I don't work everyday so free after school. I take care of Clint's pets as asked for, following all feeding and waking instructions. As well as calling Clint in the cases of an emergency
About: Hi, I’m Avril, a CPR-certified cat specialist and proud mom of two black cats! Safety First: Certified in Animal CPR & First Aid. Expert Care: Skilled in senior meds and kitten playtime. Reliable: Punctual visits with daily photo updates for your peace of mind. I treat every 'house panther' like my own. Let’s chat!"
About: Cats are my specialty! They're my absolute favorite animal that I've been connecting with and advocating for throughout my entire life. I am considered a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. I've always had them as pets and helped with many other peoples' cats over the years. My own kitties remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I've trained them to do multiple tricks, come when I call their names, walk on a leash, and ride in a car. They follow me when I go for walks in the yard 🥰 I also provide Reiki sessions (energy healing), which are very effective for animals, especially felines. For now, I'm offering my Reiki services for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits or House Sitting). I also have experience with kitty hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 In this situation I helped Ms. Princess, a 21+ year old cat, to start using her litter box again after she had begun peeing and pooping all over the house. I spent quality time with her and gave her therapeutic pets / massage and Reiki treatments 2 to 3 times a week during the final months of her life. She greatly benefited from all of this, and I witnessed her attitude improve from melocholy to more active and affectionate during her remaining time. She started cuddling her human companion more often & going for walks outside, enjoying the good things in life until it was time for her to cross the Rainbow Bridge 🌈🐈🌈 My services can assist cats of any age and level of health to live their best lives. It's a strong soul-calling for me to help as many as I can while I'm on this Earth 🥰
About: Someone in my family always had a cat, and I always wanted to be friends because I could never have one. I learned the hard way very young that cat trust is hard earned. Once I was old enough, cats in need of homes fell into my lap and they have taught me more patience than I ever expected, especially when handling introducing new cats to established homes. From fighting flying fur bunnies, to combating the endless litter boxes, cats after surgeries and on meds, I’ve had a lot of experience helping cats feel their most comfortable.
“I have booked with Richard multiple times and he always delivers excellent care to both my cats taking time to make them comfortable and ensuring they feel loved on his visits. He is my go to”
“Monica did a great job for us when we were on a short vacation. She spent lots of time with our 2 cats twice a day and sent us brief messages and photos regularly. She also indulged me with my declining Spanish ability!”
About: I was born and raised around animals. Dogs and horses being the primary, I've had a couple cats and a bird when I was little. All of my dogs I have gotten as puppies and have done the training myself. I am willing to train in any language you want (basic commands) and I have experience working in vet clinics, which will make it easier for me to see incoming medical concerns. I can tend to your babies outside of my full time job. I do have a 6 year old that has also been raised around animals. I will give them time to go outside play and potty and recieve lots of love (if they like to cuddle). Cuddle time is vital.

“Dana is a lovely human being who “gets” dogs and has made her home into a place of comfort and flexibility in response to a dog’s needs. We looked a long time for a caretaker and place that our little Velcro pandemic pup responded to positively and are so happy to have found Dana.”
“Kimberly is amazing, super sweet easy to talk to! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful to have found Kimberly. My little Rosie stayed with her and loved it! Beautiful yard and home. So grateful to her for taking my girl in last minute! Would 1000% recommend.”
About: Pet Care Experience I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention, I provide reliable, safe, and loving care. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, just like they would at home. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion and consistency. I’m attentive to special needs—whether that’s administering medications, helping senior pets move comfortably, or giving puppies the training and structure they need. My focus is on building trust, creating a stress-free environment, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care on a part-time basis, mainly during weekends and weekday evenings. This schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend companionship, I make sure pets feel cared for, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home or yours, I ensure spaces are secure, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I supervise playtime, provide fresh water and proper nutrition, and follow any special instructions for each pet’s needs. My goal is to create a loving, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 18+ years, with years of trusted experience from neighbors, friends, and family who rely on me for high-quality care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and the level of care I provide. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether that’s maintaining structure, supporting anxious pets, or giving extra patience and attention. I’m calm, dependable, and highly attentive, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and professionalism. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, trustworthy hands. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to take breaks with my 4-legged companions. I have 2 dogs (Riley and Bingo). They're friendly muts who love company. We have a one acre fenced-in backyard with lots of room to roam and explore. I always supervise the dogs to make sure they take breaks from playing to rest and drink water.
“Although Puddin is 7 years old, this was her first time ever of being cared for in someone else’s home. We have always before had a house sitter in our absence. Nina went above and beyond expectations, picking up Puddin at my office once…and keeping her very late twice when I had after-work meetings. Her communication was excellent and Puddin was happy to see her each time. This was a good experience and I am grateful for how flexible and gracious Nina was for what was needed to make Puddin feel secure and my wife and I feel confident in Puddin’s care during a week when my wife needed to be away at a conference. Thank you, Nina!”

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.
“Ever since she was a puppy, Lucy has gone to a corporate-type of daycamp. There she was in cage for a good chunk of the day. We were lucky enough to discover Ana on this website. Lucy has never been happier. She’s outside running with other dogs all day, she gets to play in the pools, and she gets lots of love and attention from Ana. I am so impressed with everything about the love and care of Lucy. We get photos and Ana communicates really quickly with us. We hope to be using Ana’s services for a long time. Definitely a five star resort for Lucy.”
About: I have been a veterinary technician/nurse for the past 13 years. My whole life is dedicated to animals and providing them compassionate care. I have worked in a general practice for the last 13 years working with companion animals (cats and dogs) but I have grown up with birds, ferrets, fish, turtles and hamsters. I also have a degree in agriculture and have cared for livestock. I truly love all animals and will always take care of each individual pet as if they were my own. I have a team of veterinary professionals that I can reach out to if there was every animal emergency or guidance needed. My goal is to make sure that while the pet parent is away, their loved ones are well cared for! Pet care is a daily staple for me: my job is very flexible and I am able to move my job around to tend to the needs of the pets I am caring for. Whether that’s me coming home on a regular basis or stopping by your home to a similar routine of your own. My goal is to achieve the same routine you would have while you’re home to give your loved ones the stable routine they’re used too!

Clients Home: I will make sure to adhere to the routine you have already established at home, whether that’s long walks or playing in the backyard. Stick to the feeding schedule and ensure they are stress free while you’re away.
“Alexander was AWESOME. At the last minute he was able to dog sit my grand pup Dakota, when my daughter was not able to find care in Tallahassee. Finding trusting individuals to take care of your precious babies can be hard. Alexander sent us pictures and check in several times to keep us posted on her health progress.”
“Brenda and her mom took great care of my little boy for the day while I took care of some appointments. He had their company as well as their dog Scooby's. He came home happy and relaxed, and I'm happy to have found a great fit for daycare for my dog with isolation anxiety.”
“Kimberly was amazing! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of photo updates. Bruno (my dog) has a bit of separation anxiety but she was able to redirect it well by taking him on a long walk and outdoor time, his favorite things to do!”
“She took such good care of our baby. It was a last minute trip and she was willing to work with us on short notice. Our girl is exhausted and happy after her day with Alejandra. 5 Stars++++”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters I’m retired from the USAF and am home 90+% of the day. I run a few errands sometimes and an hour at gym but my personalized, attentive approach to every pet’s unique needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic youngsters to senior pets requiring gentle care and medication management. I focus on creating an stress-free, loving environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s extra playtime, special diets, or senior support, I tailor every visit to your pet’s comfort and routine. Your pet gets extra attention and care when you choose my services. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize each visit with care, making sure every pet receives consistent attention, love, and companionship. I provide care in both my home and your pet’s home. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or cuddles, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment.

“Amber has been a great help walking and giving our Bearded collie Colin sweet attention. She is dependable, kind and Colin looks forward to her visits! Thanks to Amber I can return to work and know Colin has had high activity/loving attention! Carolyn Ascencios 😊”
About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
About: I’m a student and lifelong animal lover with years of pet store experience. My home is a mini-zoo with a German Shepherd, two cats, and pet rats! I’ve also kept everything from snakes to saltwater aquariums, so I’m comfortable with any species. Im am currently focusing on taking care of your fur babies. I'm flexible. As long as your baby is animal friendly I can possibly board at my home. I don't usually do boarding at my home but possibly. I will do as instructed at your residence. Just need to let me know what they are used too.

About: For as long as I can remember, there has always been animals in my house, but the last 13 years are where my real growth has happened for me as a pet parent and carer. In my own home, there’s always been a variety from dogs to hedgehogs to cats to lizards. I have often found myself as a haven for wayward creatures in need of respite. I have experience caring for, raising, and training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. I work full time as a teacher but I am often around on the weekends and evenings and am happy and able to make pets a part of my routine! Any space I am in is always treated with the upmost respect— I don’t touch what isn’t mine, I don’t touch what I don’t need to. Integrity and honesty are paramount. If there is an issue with anything, I of course will be upfront about it, as that is what I would expect and want from anyone in my home. Trusting me to come into your home is a big deal, and I would never want to jeopardize your peace of mind.
About: I love dogs and having one of my very own whom I adore more than ever, I can assure you your furry friends will be safe, well cared for, and without a doubt will love me! I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, and cared for litters of puppies as well. I am a college student. I'm looking forward to earning extra money between classes and spending lots of time with your fur babies. I love animals and so excited to help people take care of their pets. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routine the owner has for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I always make sure they’ve got fresh water, clean bowls, and a comfy space. I clean up any messes, take care of the home while I’m there, and make sure their pet feels safe and relaxed. I also send photo or text updates so the owner knows how things are going.
About: Kim's Sit & Stay Inn No, that's not really the name...but it may as well be! FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE! PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED!! I am happy to work with you because I would want the same for my dogs. Hey there! I'm a MASSIVE animal lover that graduated from the Zoo program at Santa Fe College, and I am currently working full time on Rover. I'm here for your last minute needs! Big pups, small pups, I love them all. My husband and daughter are very involved as well so your fur baby basically gains an extended family when they stay with us. <3 <3 <3 I have a big back yard, comfy couch, and a 17 year old teen who also loves animals- so your pup will never be lonely. I am available 24/7 via text message, and other apps. (Limited cell service though so calling is limited. ) I have 4 indoor cats as well, but they have their own space (bedroom) and prefer to hide out there if there are any 4 legged visitors. I live on 1 acre in Alachua, Florida and about half of that is fenced, so we have a fully fenced back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I'm also close to the I-75 interstate. I take my job very seriously and understand how stressful it can be to have to leave your pets with a stranger. I always recommend a meet and greet first before booking with me, but sometimes things are last minute and that's okay too. Hope to hear from you soon, have a nice day! 👍🏻 I am home all day, as this is my primary income. My husband works during the day. I can give your pups the attention they need, or space if necessary. I have a large yard and can take them out as often as needed. I allow pets on my furniture, and all my other doors in the house stay shut at all times. All pets are fed separately from each other so there is no food aggression.
About: Hi🙂 Thanks for stopping by my page. Fun fact: If I could I would adopt and save as many dogs as I could fit in my home but unfortunately my husband said 2 is good for now😂 I have always felt passionate about animals especially pups. I love the idea of being able to turn my passion for caring for pups into a full time gig for myself, it’s truly a dream. I have over 10 years of experience with various of breeds and know how to care for them. I rescued Milo(dachshund beagle) my first baby back in 2014 and his sweet Sister, Layla (Rottweiler) back in 2016. They truly are the perfect pair and love having fur guests over. They are very social and playful with other pups. My main objective is to ensure your babies feel at home while away from their love ones and ensure to keep my clients at ease when booking with me. I know the importance of a clean and safe environment for our guest. I also have experience with the older pups and or the ones that require a strict schedule with medications and other medical needs. I’m proud to have multiple repeat clients and I appreciate the loyalty and trust that comes with boarding with a sitter. I have been boarding for over 6 years in the city and I’m excited to build my new clientele in the country here, back in my hometown 🤍 Feel free to reach out and request a meet and greet. I work from home and love being able to be home with my little ones and pups. It's so refreshing to meet clients and hang out with cute new pups on the daily basis. I'm a home body and love to be able to hangout in our large nice backyard. I have a nice fenced back yard that is perfect for pups to burn some energy and play. Both my dogs are very social and trained and love being able to keep the fur crew entertained and happy. We truly love hosting and ensuring our guest feel comfortable and safe.
About: I have owned dogs since I was little and I have had all ages from puppy stage to senior stage and I love every one of them they will be in good hands with me I promise :-) I am excited to start my journey as I retire from the University of Florida after 23 years :-) I have three pups of my own two chiweenies and one senior terrier. At this time I cannot offer in-home service. I can offer walks drop-ins and pick up items for you on the way to come take care of your babies
About: I've connected deeply with animals my whole life, and began caring for them around age 11. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a great love for all creatures. Cats are my specialty, though my skills are also effective with dogs and all kinds of other animals. I am a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. My cats remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I provide Reiki services (energy healing) that is very effective with animals. For now, I'm offering my Reiki treatments for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits, House Sitting, or Dog Walking). I also have experience with animal hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a 21+ year old cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 So I've been doing animal care for a long time with shining 5 star reviews, I'm just new to Rover! ✨😊✨ I'm self-employed with a very flexible schedule. I can work with you to sculpt the ideal care that your pet(s) needs. We can talk about possibilities✨ My pets and my client's pets are a top priority and I take it very seriously. My own cats benefit from the highest quality food, attention, and environment. I provide gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. I am highly attuned to their needs & emotions. While I am a Cat Whisperer, my care for all animals goes above and beyond. I treat others as I want to be treated: keeping honesty, safety, and high quality care with positive loving energy at the forefront.
“Monica was caring and very responsible while taking care of Max. He’s a little older and requires a little TLC and she was so loving toward him. I will use her again and highly recommend her for any pet”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also taken care of other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily stuff like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m good at adjusting to different dogs and their routines. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a student athlete, I’m really used to managing my time and sticking to a schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, whether that’s walks, check-ins, or longer care blocks. I plan ahead around classes and practices, so pets still get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m reliable, organized, and used to balancing responsibilities. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their usual routines so everything feels familiar and comfortable for the pet. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions like medication or special care. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and a calm environment while keeping the home clean and respected. Since I cannot offer care in my home, all services are done in the pet’s home where they’re most comfortable.

“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.”

“Anas & Tate took great care of my dog. Izzy is a bigger fairly high energy Airedale. Anas & Tate had no problems handling his needs. Their setup is beautiful. I quite big fenced yard allowed for plenty of exercise while being totally secure. They kept me updated with cute pictures and videos during Izzy’s stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to rely on them again as the need arises.”
“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!”
“Alejandra made herself available with less than 24 hours notice and she took really good care of our dog Anya. She treated Anya like she was her own. We were glad to know that Alejandra had 2 dogs of her own and they are friendly and well behaved dogs who enjoy playing with other dogs. Anya is very energetic and Alejandra's yard provided a much needed outlet and playplace for Anya. We will definitely be contacting Alejandra the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Mohini took such amazing care of my pup! I was sent updates, photos and details about how she was doing. She got walks everyday and even some extra approved treats! I’m so very grateful for the care and would highly recommend Mohini!!”

About: Connecting with animals at a young age, I am a natural at handling their needs as well as seeing when something is wrong. Having had an array of animals to care for for over 30 years, I have alot of experience and am well equipped to handle problems, should they arise. I have been lucky enough to care for many breeds of dogs and cats as well as countless other animals. Our 10 acre farm is completely fenced in with ample space to run and is home to 2 dogs and other farm animals. Here at Emerald Oak Ranch, our family strives to take the very best care of every animal we come into contact with. Book your animal today for a fun, peaceful farm-cation! Animal care comes first here at Emerald Oak Ranch! Whether it’s waking up early to feed or even checks during the night, we make sure all animals here are well taken care of and cared for. Our property is fully fenced, and two dogs are onsite as well as farm animals. Depending on your pets needs, they will have some friendly buddies or we can keep them separate. If you just need a quick house call or walk for your pets, I will carefully follow your instructions to make your animals as comfortable as possible! It is my priority to make sure your pets are safe and taken care of at all times.
“Kim is amazing!!! My pup had such a good time that I am afraid she wanted to stay!! Kim was responsible and did a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone would get along. She sent videos and pictures daily and she is very responsive when messaging. Kim’s love and concern for all animals shines through!! It was so relieving to know that I could trust Kim with my girl. I never had any concerns! I will rebook for sure!!”
“I love that they always responded in a timely manor, their home was pet friendly and Riley had a blast. I really appreciated all the check-in’s and photos. I will definitely be rebooking when it’s needed!!!!”
About: I always had cats growing up and have been a dog sitter for friends/family the past eight years. I’ve had a pup of my own for four years now and can’t imagine my life without her. I treat animals like children and understand how important it is to take care of others’ pets to their standard and beyond! I am a full-time teacher leaving my availability more limited during the school year but I am extremely open during the summer (unless I’m already booked). I do need a bit of notice but am willing to work out a plan at the last minute if possible! House sitting/Drop-Ins: I will always treat your home and belongings with the utmost respect. I’m a firm believer in leaving the home as clean or even cleaner than when I entered it. I will ensure your fur baby’s daily routine is met with careful attention to detail and comfort! Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard and a fur baby of my own to help keep yours company (but let’s do a meet and greet to make sure they get along to ensure their safety)! We love going on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the backyard, hanging out inside in the AC during the hotter months, and cuddling on the couch. Sally is my only dog (Beatles is my sister’s and stays with Sally during our joint vacations). Sally is crate trained for anxiety while alone, so as a safety measure, you are required to bring a crate for your dog when boarding. Dogs will only be crated when we aren’t home. My husband will also help out with your fur baby at times, so if you’d like to meet him too, just let me know! :)
“They are fantastic! She went over and beyond in taking care of my pups and comfortable! My dogs wouldn't eat she hand fed them lol. Super great people and I was completely comfortable leaving them.”
“Archie always has a great time hanging out with his bestie Michelle! I definitely recommend this sitter, as she always makes sure my dog gets the proper amounts of attention, playtime, and love!! Thank you Michelle!”
“Our dog Kiki had a great holiday stay with Amanda! We loved getting a picture or video of our pup while we were away. Our dog enjoyed playing with other dogs and enjoyed the time in the fenced yard. We will definitely have Amanda watch our dog again when we go on vacation!”
