“As usual Doris had a great time at Miss Kathy's house and practically didn't want to leave. We recently moved north to St Petersburg, but if I travel south, we'll be dropping Doris with Miss Kathy every time!!”
“Our boys had a great time at Marley’s! Everything went smoothly, dogs well taken care of, and sweet photo updates throughout the time we were away. Will absolutely book again when needed in the future :)”
“Jennifer took great care of my dog, even sending me pictures. I have had 3 previous pet sitters that left me wondering if I could ever trust another person to take care of my dog. Jennifer is definitely trustworthy. She made me feel relaxed knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Thank you Jennifer. I will definitely use you again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”
“I have used Fran a number of times to take care of my cat. She is caring, responsible and I know Carlisle is well taken care of . She sends me daily updates with photos which is much appreciated. She is an excellent petsitter that I highly recommend.”
“My family and I travel a lot and this particular weekend I had no idea what I was going to do with my dog. I was referred to Erin and she is absolutely GREAT. She gives updates thru the stay and she will even send pictures. I highly recommend Erin 5 stars all the way!!!!”
“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.”
“Barbara and Mario did a wonderful job babysitting my two small dogs, Emmy and Hailey, for the weekend. It was such a comfort knowing they were in caring and trustworthy hands. My girls came home happy and well cared for. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust them again!”
“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.”
“Carol was outstanding watching our Chocolate Lab/Buddy - we certainly be rebooking as needed/necessary in the future when Carol & Butch are available. They took great care our of boy.”
“Marcela is very personable and you can tell she loves animals. Her property is a perfect place to accommodate larger dogs with all the running space and security. Communication was very good. Would ask her again when in the area.”
“Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec”
“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
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.
“Suzanne and family were the best! Raider seemed right a home and they treated him like part of their family ❤️ He has such a great personality and sure he loved playing with the kids. Thank you so much for keeping us informed and and photos while we were away ?”

“Christine is the best! My cat is very nervous around people he doesn’t know. Christine had him in her lap the first day! She provided photos that reassured me that he was being well taken care of. I am so pleased with her service.”
“We are so glad we got Tracy again to watch our cats. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of and happy. We won't hesitate to ask Tracy to watch our babies next time we go out of town. Highly recommend her!”
“I never met Brandon, but my husband Greg did, and he took excellent care of our cat Elliott. It was very comforting to know that Elliott was able to stay in his own home, spend time on the lanai and get his needs met.”
“Angela was a fantastic cat sitter. She even got the one that usually stays under the bed with strangers to come out and be around her while we were gone. She certainly has a way with animals and we loved having her and planned to use her again soon .”
About: I have taken care of pets since a young age! I have 4 dogs of my own that I have raised since they were puppies! Love walking and taking care of dogs. I work early in mornings 5am-1pm daily so I have lots of free time in afternoons and evenings. I have weekends free and my work schedule is easily adjusted for specific offers I will follow all the rules and set up for your pet and treat them as my own. I am a very dependable person served on military and worked with animals in there as well
“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: 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.
About: My home is located in south venice with a secure fenced in yard. I adopted a little girl Ellie who is 6 yrs old and a mix of datsun/?. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. 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 💓
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.
“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.”
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.

“Holly and Jace were great, I’m going away for a work trip next week, so I scheduled them for a drop in visit before my trip so they could get acquainted with my 2 dogs. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can trust my babies with someone while I’m away!”
“Debbie was a godsend. We had to take a trip and be away from my sick kitty. Debbie sent reports on all the cats and pictures showing me how they were faring. She went above and beyond her cat sitting to take my sick kitty to our veterinarian twice for a necessary shot and served as liaison between our veterinarian and us. She gave me a sense of security about all the cats’ care, but especially my little sick baby.”
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.

“Anne was exceptional! She took the time to meet with me and my dog, Cali, to review any special needs etc and took detailed notes. Since my dog has separation anxiety, Anne took the time to work with us on a few techniques to make sure Cali was comfortable. Anne shared some training video links with me so I can work on these with Cali at home. She certainly went well above and beyond any expectations I had and I’m looking forward to having her sit Cali again in the future. It’s clear that Anne is a professional and is concerned with her client’s comfort as well as the dog’s individual needs. Cali loved playing with Bentley and I know she enjoyed her day with Anne. A+++++”
“I’m happy to have met Denise and Brett who took care of our doodle bear Luna! I know she had a fun-filled stay with them! They were communicative throughout the day with her care and activities. Your pup is in experienced hands, our Luna loved them both! We will see you guys soon, thank you so much!”
“Everything went smoothly with doggie daycare with Erin. She considerately slowly introduced Pepper to her furry friends and helped him acclimate. She also sent message updates and pictures through his stay. Definitely will book with her again!!”
“Carol and Butch were amazing, and such a perfect match for our little Squirt. This was my first time using Rover, and they made it such a great experience. They took such great care of my little man and put my mind at ease with pupdates. Hope they’ll be available for us next year! Thank you so so much, Carol and Butch!”

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! 🐾”

“Allie has been amazing and a huge help taking my dog out on daily walks while I work. I HIGHLY suggest booking with allie for anything you may need help with when it comes to your fur babies!”
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.

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I can pass by or do overnight boarding after 5pm. 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.

I graduated high school in May of 2026 and am currently an online college student with lots of free time to walk dogs at any time throughout the day. I care for dogs by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for during every walk and visit. I make sure to pay close attention to what they need, give them plenty of exercise and attention, and always make sure to treat them like they are my own dog.
“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.”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats and adore spending time with them. I volunteer at the shelter to walk dogs and I bottle feed neonatal kittens. Animals are my life and I’d love to care for your babies while you’re gone. I have expertise with dogs of all sizes, strong pullers, special need animals, exotics, chickens, birds, reptiles etc. Please message with any questions! I do not work outside of my home so I have very open availability! I can be free to do drop ins, walks or boarding. I have a fenced yard and 2 older, friendly dogs. 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!
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, trustworthy, and kind to my dog. She always took him for the full amount of walk time and was great about letting me know if he went to the bathroom. I would highly recommend her!”
About: As a child, I always knew I wanted to be around animals. It was a goal of mine to work with animals. As an adult, I achieved that goal when I worked at Pet Supermarket and now using Rover. I receive my work schedule about two weeks prior to the start of each month. As I receive my work schedule, I will update my Rover schedule accordingly. I am almost always available in the evenings. I am typically available all day 2-4 days a week. I work in a 24-hour facility so my schedule is not always consistent month to month. Because of this, I cannot offer recurring services but my availability will always be accurate. Please reference my availability calendar for the most updated information. My availability is currently accurate to November 30, 2023. I will always provide at least one photo of your pet. Depending on how much time I spend with them, you will likely receive more because I enjoy photographing pets! I make it a priority to keep open and honest communication so you can have extra assurance of your pet’s safety. In the past, I have provided boarding services but moving forward I will be providing walking, drop-in visits, and daycare. Now that I have a child, I prefer not to keep dogs while he is home for both his and your dog’s comfort and safety.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. I have also volunteered in animal shelters when I was younger. Before Rover, I was on the site Doggy Vay Cay serving many clients. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I had a family dog, which passed away 3 years ago along with my cat passing away years ago, therefore I love being around animals I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I will play tug of war, give them treats if need be, and run around with them. At this time, I will not be taking care of pets in my own home, but hopefully in the future, I will. I treat animals with respect, as if they were my own loving one.

“As usual Doris had a great time at Miss Kathy's house and practically didn't want to leave. We recently moved north to St Petersburg, but if I travel south, we'll be dropping Doris with Miss Kathy every time!!”
“Jennifer took great care of my dog, even sending me pictures. I have had 3 previous pet sitters that left me wondering if I could ever trust another person to take care of my dog. Jennifer is definitely trustworthy. She made me feel relaxed knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Thank you Jennifer. I will definitely use you again in the future!”
“My family and I travel a lot and this particular weekend I had no idea what I was going to do with my dog. I was referred to Erin and she is absolutely GREAT. She gives updates thru the stay and she will even send pictures. I highly recommend Erin 5 stars all the way!!!!”
“Barbara and Mario did a wonderful job babysitting my two small dogs, Emmy and Hailey, for the weekend. It was such a comfort knowing they were in caring and trustworthy hands. My girls came home happy and well cared for. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Carol was outstanding watching our Chocolate Lab/Buddy - we certainly be rebooking as needed/necessary in the future when Carol & Butch are available. They took great care our of boy.”
“Marcela is very personable and you can tell she loves animals. Her property is a perfect place to accommodate larger dogs with all the running space and security. Communication was very good. Would ask her again when in the area.”
“Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec”
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.
“Suzanne and family were the best! Raider seemed right a home and they treated him like part of their family ❤️ He has such a great personality and sure he loved playing with the kids. Thank you so much for keeping us informed and and photos while we were away ?”
“If I could give Morgan 10 stars, I would. We had holiday travel that had us away for 10 days. We found Morgan as an alternative to your standard pet resort. We knew we wanted the one on one experience for our yellow lab. Morgan provided that and then some. She goes above and beyond to make sure all the animals in her care feel like they’re at home. With daily photos and updates, we felt like we were right there in the action! This was our first visit with Morgan but most certainly won’t be our last!”
“Kimber was absolutely amazing! She helped us out with a last minute request on top of our initial booking and was very communicative with her care of Ollie. We knew Ollie was in the best of hands when we were away! Definitely would recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Linda and her family once again took excellent care of our 2 dogs for several weeks. They are very patient and kind with our babies and always provide them with excellent care and lots of attention. We always appreciate that Linda sends us updates, photos and videos so we know how the dogs are doing and we never have to worry if they are being treated well. We know they are happy and comfortable and our dogs love to be with Linda. She is a 2nd mom to them now after taking care of them many times. We highly recommend Linda - she always goes above and beyond and truly loves animals and wants the very best for them, which she provides!”
“Finn loves to stay with Marybeth and Russ. They provide a loving, safe home with a wonderful, enclosed backyard. In addition, Finn gets regular walks and lots of loving. When he gets out of the car at their house, he can't wait to get inside to see them; this is always a great sign of good care.”
“She took care of our dog who can be difficult without any issues. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent pictures consistently. I would recommend her to everyone and will use her again in the future b”
“My pup’s tail wagged with excitement when she recognized she was at Lana’s! Knowing that she was getting lots of snuggles and in a safe and comfortable home while we were away made leaving her for seven days a whole lots easier. She loves having the company of other dogs too! Ty”
“Monica was so loving with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! She sent lots of photos and as very responsive to chat as well. She has a great set up with a fenced backyard. I would highly recommend her!”
“Dana was wonderful from the very start! Very quick and thorough with communication and I immediately knew that she would treat our boy like he was one of her own. Dana was eager to learn all about my dog and she has great knowledge and instincts about how to care for pets. She also sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was awesome! When we came to pick him up, I could tell that he had already bonded with Dana and really thrived in the environment. We are so happy we found Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“They were wonderful and it seemed like Kenzie was well taken care of, I know she loved being there with their dogs. It was like a constant play date. Highly recommend!!”
“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”
