“Got along with my puppy Pluto absolutely amazing! Jean was able to come last minute and walk my boy twice. The pictures of him that she sent me were adorable and proved that she is amazing with dogs and truly loves taking care of them.”

About: I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, medication support, and extra comfort. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and commitment to maintaining your pet’s routine. I build trust, follow instructions carefully, and communicate with regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m able to maintain your pet’s normal schedule and provide consistent attention, check-ins, and care throughout the day—not just mornings and evenings. Pets are family to me—my dog is my entire world. I care for every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I follow routines closely, keep a calm and safe environment, and provide constant supervision since I work from home. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort and always share updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

“Michele was great. She is a natural with dogs: Lucy took right to her. She just met Lucy, but seemed to have a feel for exactly what Lucy needed, her energy level, and her interests. Michele is very personable and fun to be with. Wish there were 6 stars to rate her!”

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the at a Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.

About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

This makes pet walks and drop-ins a natural part of my routine, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care and exercise for your pet. I follow your pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm environment while you’re away.

While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected.

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍 I work from home for a local tech company. I am very flexible with my schedule and am available for walks, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. Weekends and overnights are welcome too! Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.

I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.

Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences.
