I never had any concerns! I will rebook for sure!!”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”

Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.

About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine.

“Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.”
“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!!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for years. I came from an animal-loving family, we got our first dog when I was 7, and now at home I have two cats and one dog of my own, so I understand how much routine and a calm, familiar presence matter to pets while their owner is away. I also consistently take care of my brother and sister-in-law's eight cats whenever they're on vacation, so multi-cat households and individual routines are second nature to me. Beyond my own household, I also volunteer with cat rescues. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet's home and routine with the same care I give my own.
About: I grew up with kitty cats roaming the household since I was a child and have watched cats for my friends and family growing up. My sister rescued one of our family cats, Luna, from a dumpster behind a dollar general. My mom rescued Mousey from Facebook and I rescued Suki from the Walmart parking lot. I would love to check in on your kitties and care for them! We do not discriminate around here!🗣️ Young, old, disabled, I love them all! You won’t have to worry if they are taken well care of while you’re away!💗
About: Not only have we had our family cat for 18 years but I also have had lots of experience house sitting cats for other people. I have stayed at people's homes to look after their cats (indoor and outdoor) while they were on vacation or have popped in whenever they needed me to. I have experience with senior cats and giving medication when needed.
About: I’ve cared for my friends’ cats while they were out of town and happily refilled food and water, cleaned litter boxes, and provided comfort and company. I now care for an outdoor cat with my roommates.
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: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. While being a kid I’ve had 10 cats throughout the years and now that I’m an adult I have 1 little kitten of my own. I have a special love for taking the time to become friends with the anxious babies and play with the energetic ones. I am able to adjust my interactions based on what the kitty needs.

“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.”
“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.”
“Nicole was amazing! She was extremely polite and wonderful with my dogs. I received updates and pictures the whole time; you can tell she has a genuine love of animals. I will not hesitate to use her in the future!”
“Brenda and her family provide exactly what I was hoping for. Instead of being home all day by herself, my dog is taken care of by kind dog lovers. She also gets to socialize with another small dog. I can tell my dog enjoys being there. She runs right up to Brenda to greet her when we arrive. And when I pick her up, she is not desperate to leave. Highly recommend.”
“Alejandra took excellent care of our dog while we paddled at Ichetucknee springs. Our girl is shy of other dogs, and Alejandra made sure she had her own comfortable space. Highly recommend.”
“Liza and her roommates made my pup feel right at home, so much so that by the third day of dog sitting, he was literally whimpering and clamoring to greet Lisa when we arrived in the morning. Each day, he ran inside and never looked back. It was clear that he had all the attention and care he wanted each day! I will happily return when we next need a dog sitter.”
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 ever an 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! In home: I have property where I can take the dogs out on long walks and can play with them with a great deal of space. They will always have access to water and will feed them according to their set schedules. I have space for crates if your pets do better crated while inside and if I’m away. They will be smothered with cuddles and treats if I’m able to. 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.
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: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).
About: Experienced in most breeds and love to pamper and adore your pet! I will spend time with them and make sure they enjoy themselves while you are away! I am a current graduate student at the University of Florida, therefore I have a flexible schedule and availability to be with your beloved pet longer than most! I understand that pets are a precious part of the family. They deserve love and attention even when you're away. I will be happy to care for them!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! I’ve had dogs of my own and have also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, cats, rabbits, and even snakes. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and naturally match their energy, whether they’re playful and active or just want some extra cuddles and attention. I currently work from home and am able to make my own schedule. I love animals and would have a blast playing with your pet between tasks. Since I work from home I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule to meet your pets needs. I do not have any other pets currently. I can accommodate almost any need with my current schedule. I live in a great neighborhood for walks and love to walk myself.

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.
“Had a great experience with Jinghan she is incredibly attentive and communication was perfect. She was available for a meet and greet to go over details. She was very sweet with Sushi and was very understanding when we had problems with our entry code. Would absolutely rebook and recommend.”
About: Aloha, I'm Anna Lyra 😊 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 practice Reiki (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 flexible schedule. I can work with you to sculpt the ideal care that your pet(s) needs. Reach out to discuss 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 am highly attuned to their needs & emotions, providing gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. While I specialize in Cat Whispering, my care for all animals goes above and beyond! I treat others as I want to be treated: with honesty, safety, and high quality care wrapped in positive & loving energy 💟
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: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting.

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: I have always had a dog in my home and have grown up with many different breeds of dogs/animals. I have owned horses, cats, and reptiles and am comfortable with animals of all sorts and familiar with the care that they need. I am also good with older dogs and have enough patience to deal with young puppies. I have experience with dogs that have medical needs and I know how to administer a lot of different medications. I am up early and can walk dogs/ check in on pets before I head to work. I am also free most evenings and on the weekends. My senior dog recently passed so I do not currently have any dogs in my home. I do have a fenced in courtyard but I prefer house sitting as this is usually easier for the animals in the home.
About: currently a stay at home pet parent looking to use my love and care of animals on the side for side income. I have open availability and knowledge to share I have experience with exotics, dogs and cats and even horses!

“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: Ive grown up with dogs, cats, horses, and various other types of animals. Additionally, I’ve worked as a kennel technician with dogs for over 2 years now. During this time I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs from big and small, energetic and calm, and confident or more on the nervous side. I’ve learned the best way to approach every type of dog and how to meet their needs. I go to college and work part time but I have breaks making it easy to stop by and assist your babies. I am in Gainesville full time and have a vehicle making it easy to get around town. I have a passion for approaching animals with love and patience. I think first impressions with animals are extremely important. I always want to make the interactions fun and without tension. I’m very understanding when it comes to fear aggression and anxious dogs. My top priority is to make them feel safe around me and respect their boundaries.

“Ashley did such an amazing job taking care of my boy! When we met up, she was willing to spend over an hour talking with me and getting to really know my pup and his needs. She and her family are very experienced with high-drive, high-energy, intelligent dogs and my pup had an AMAZING time. She also checked in every morning and sent pictures and videos. I will absolutely take my pup to her next time I need boarding!”
“Our dogs had such a great time! Nice fenced yard because my dogs like to run. Nina was very friendly, accommodating and understanding if I needed to change my drop off time. Will definately use again for next trip!”
“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!!”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“Very friendly and I know that my dog and cat had a lot of fun when they were with her. Evidence is my dog slept 8hrs when he got back home with us🤣. Very accomodating and I highly recommend her. Beautiful place, dogs and cat can play together, big enough space for them to run and explore. I would definitely pick her to take care of my pets again.🤩🫡”

Appa is looking forward to daycare with Ana so he can see his friends again. Thanks for being patient and kind with our Appa!!!”

“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Alistar was amazing. Our Lady is not always an easy dog. She has separation anxiety and is has a terrible fear of storms. Alistar took great care of her. She wasn’t eating so he made her a steak. He sent me pictures and videos to ease our worries about leaving her. I will always use Alistar when we need a sitter. Thank you for being so kind to our sweet Lady.”
About: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.
“So grateful to find Kathleen and her family! Right away my pup ran to them, acclimated very well. Her demeanor was very welcoming and peaceful. She was also very responsive and sent updates throughout the duration of Page’s stay. He had an amazing time with them and came home his happy and normal self. To an individual with a pup this is so very important! I will definitely be sticking to boarding with Kathleen. 10 out of 10 experience! ❤️”
