About: I’ve taken care of family, friends, neighbors, and strangers animals before! I have volunteered at shelters, adoption events, and worked with many different breeds of both dogs and cats. I have watched at most four cats and one dog for three nights. I have experience with sensitive dogs as well with meeting owners prior and working with schedules and boundaries. I have my own rescued five year old male German Shepherd. I promise to love your fur babies as my own! I am currently working part time at a bank in Sarasota, FL. The hours typically are from 8:30-5pm. I usually have off Wednesday’s and always weekends. I am very sensitive to your pets and property. I simply come in and do my tasks, and leave. I will respect your home and take the best care of your animals. If there’s ever special requests or concerns, please don’t hesitate to message me.

Christine was awesome with our dog, Kenji. I booked her a bit last minute and she was so accommodating with stopping by for a meet and greet preset quickly. She came and walked her and played with our cat while Kenji ate her food. Highly recommend her.😊

About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

This was my very first time using Rover and it went great! Brandon met me a few days before we needed him to check in on our dog. I felt so good knowing he had met Xander and I knew immediately our pup was in good hands. Brandon is kind and Xander loved him immediately. We will absolutely ask Brandon to come again.

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 been a huge animal lover and can't remember a time I haven't had a pet. Currently we have 5dogs, a lizard, a snake, the cutest Chinchilla and 2 fish tanks. I'm energetic, dependable, and have worked with animals for years. I've walked dogs, worked for non profit organizations and even a few kennels. Most of my life I've been in customer service jobs and currently work as a manager for an Italian restaurant in Cumming and would love to make some extra money doing something that I love! It's hard with our busy schedules to not worry about our pets at home. I'm lucky that there's usually always someone home when I'm not. I would like to make you feel comfortable that your pet is being taken care of while you can't be there. Can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 18 years, starting with my own beloved pets and extending to pet sitting for friends and family. My experience includes looking after dogs and cats of all ages, including senior animals and those with special needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and unique care requirements, and I’m committed to providing the same level of love and attention I’d give my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you can’t be there. That’s why I aim to offer peace of mind by ensuring your furry companions feel safe, happy, and well-loved in your absence. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care routines, I’m here to make sure your pets are in great hands! I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits for all animals throughout the week, with flexible timing to accommodate your schedule. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I’ll work with you to ensure your pets get the care they need when they need it. In addition, I offer in-home pet sitting to provide your furry companions with comfort and companionship while you’re away. Whatever your pet care needs, I’m here to help! I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your pets and your home. You can trust me to treat both with the utmost respect and care. I prioritize safety, security, and maintaining a calm, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn about their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Whether it’s administering special care for senior or special-needs pets, keeping shy animals comfortable, or providing plenty of playtime for energetic ones, I tailor my approach to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities, and I’m committed to providing the best care possible.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

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.

Colette has been a miracle in disguise! When I found out that I had to return to Naples for an indeterminate amount of time, I found Colette on Rover and my worries about my baby being left alone all day were greatly reduced! Colette is not only on time but she has also become a welcome addition to my babies life!

About: I have been around animals my whole life, including taking care of my family dog into his old age for 10 years. I have also taken care of my cat for multiple years, and have pet-sat for others many times including overnight stays. I have a lot of free time, and pet care is something that interests me. This leaves me with a lot of time to spend with your pet to make sure they receive the care they need. I am able to attune to your pet's schedule for care, no matter how complicated it is. I have taken care of pets with complicated regimens before, and it is not a problem.
