“Christina cared for our four cats in our home while we were away. She is extraordinary in every regard! We look forward to welcoming her back soon. Before we left for our trip, we could clearly see that Christina was passionate in regard to her dedication to providing the best care for each of our cats. In our conversations, she was meticulous about every aspect of their care. It was obvious from Christina’s communication and the photos that she shared with us while we were away that she offered kindhearted attention to our cats, made sure their food was offered on time, kept their litterboxes tidy and kept our house exceptionally clean. When we returned home, everything was in perfect order, and the cats were calm and very contented. One of our cats is on medication and needs special attention. Christina was very willing to work with her. She administered the medication and gave her that special sense of warmth and friendliness that prompted our cat to become her friend for life! We are truly grateful. Christina is professional, gracious and conscientious in every respect. She is a very intelligent young lady. We highly recommend her and look forward to welcoming her into our home again.”
“McKenzie took on the challenge of wrangling our trio of active huskies for 4 days and did an awesome job! They were very well cared for and we will hire her again.”

“Lois does a great job taking care of our home and our pup. We feel so much more comfortable traveling now that we know we have someone taking care of our dog and his separation anxiety.”
About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work very early morning and am usually done around 12:30 pm. This means I am free the rest of the day for visits, walks, and such! Like stated earlier, I have many years of experience of pet sitting from different clients and work places. I have gained knowledge from each place that I plan to use for the safety and well being of any future clients! pets
“Brooke was absolutely the best! She made sure that my 3 cats and dog was well taken care of for an entire weekend. Brooke sent pictures the entire week, exercised my pets and made sure they were well fed. This was me and my partners first time using a pet sitting service and we could not imagine using anyone else. I definitely would recommend Brooke to anyone , she is the absolute best.”
About: I have a soft spot for the big bully breeds but love the little ones as well. I worked at an animal emergency clinic for a few years. My flex is remaining extremely calm in any situation. My weakness is I become attached to easily. I can do my work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊
“Jasmine was a natural with our dog. He loved her right away and was sad to see her leave. Communication was great and we got daily updates and plenty of pictures. I would definitely recommend her to others and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
“We booked Delia for a few days to house sit our 3 dogs. This was our first time utilizing rover, before we go on a longer trip at the end of the year. She popped in several times to let our dogs out and communicated well when she would be returning late. Came back to a respected home and happy dogs.”
“Makala was awesome! She took great care of our pups, was very communicative and professional. We felt very comfortable and will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend.”
“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with my pups, and always leaves the home clean and my dogs happy. He is great at responding to messages and following instructions. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jamaura, I’m 21 years old, and I’m currently a student at the University of Florida majoring in Animal Sciences on the pre-veterinary track.

In every situation, I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness, treating every furry friend like they’re my own. I make sure dogs get the exercise, playtime, and affection they need, while maintaining clean feeding areas, following meal schedules, and creating a calm, structured environment. I’m also comfortable administering medications and managing more complex feeding routines when needed. I love bonding with dogs and my goal is always to provide a positive, stress-free experience that leaves both pets and owners feeling at ease. I’m available seven days a week, any time of the day, and I’m committed to being there when you need me most.

From following detailed care instructions to noticing subtle behavior cues, I prioritize your pet’s well-being above all else. Whether your pet is shy and needs quiet companionship or full of energy and ready to play, I adapt my care to match their personality and comfort level. Most importantly, your pet’s welfare, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: My name is Lacey! I’ve been working with animals since I was 11, beginning with special needs cats. I grew up with many pets, but this was when I first realized what I could do to work for animals to better their lives. When I was 15, I worked more with exotic birds and lemurs at an animal sanctuary here in Florida. I’ve since graduated from the Santa Fe Zoo program and have experience with animal management, enrichment, and training. More recently, I just finished working at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, where I was studying animal behavior and working with the local community to educate tourists. I have a passion for working with animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds and would love to make sure your babies are cared for so you can work worry free! I’ve recently come back from working abroad at an elephant sanctuary where I studied animal behavior. Since graduating from the Santa Fe zoo program, I’ve begun taking online classes to work toward another animal care related degree, so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I am there to follow whatever instruction you leave! Trust between me as the caretaker and your pet is important, but so is the trust between me and you. I trust you will always know and want what’s best for your pet, and following a routine is so important to reduce their stress and yours. I am there to ensure you can work worry free knowing your pet is in good hands and will be enriched and well cared for with me.
About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life. My last dog was 18 and 1/2 yrs old when I lost her. She was my best friend and I still miss her 9 yrs later. Animals give us unconditional love and they deserve the same in return. They communicate with us if we keep our minds open to it. I am semi retired, I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. My cats are on a timed feeding schedule of prescription cat food and 3 weekly feeding of fresh wet cat food with no by products, just protein, rice and broth. I check their weight weekly and they receive vet visits quarterly like clock work. I take their health as seriously as I take my own. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.
About: Ive had dogs since I was born. I am a caretaker for the Papa Pal program and assist seniors with their pets. I have 2 dogs since they were 6 weeks old. I raised my cats 17 and 8 years since they were kittens. I also care for community cats with Operation Petsnip. I am self employed, so I plan to be flexible with my pet care endeavors. I live near the Gainesville airport and also used to commuting in the area I am open to let your pets out for a walk, feed, water and play. I understand the importance as I used to work 12 hour days and had to use a dog walker as well. I am also a former educator and work in public service over 20 years and have no criminal record or other types of issues

DONNA C.
“Donna has taken care of my high anxiety stressed cat and two others. She helped my cats feel safe and at home while I was away. She listened to every instruction given and understood all my requests. My cat did not pull out it's hair while I was gone. Would use her again and again.... she treats your pets like family! Personally I've seen how Donna treats her animals just by the great care given to mine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
