About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

About: I have had a big passion for animals since childhood. I grew up with many animals and always dreamed of working with animals. I graduated from university with an associate in veterinary technician. I been working for several years in veterinary medicine and doggy daycare i really have fun and enjoy all my time with them. I’m currently working 3 days per week, usually I’m off on Sunday and the rest of the time at home. My schedule rotates, I do not always have the same days off. I have an empty room only for them, small cage if needed and a porch that they can be around. I’m a pet friendly and I always walk my dog around so he can enjoy the complex.

“Maria did a wonderful job with Poppy! Poppy is nervous about new people and places, and by the end of the day, she seemed very comfortable and wanted a belly rub from Maria even though I was there. Maria understood Poppy's needs.”

“Maeghan is super responsive and reliable. She sends me photos of my dog and communicates with me throughout the day and he always leaves smelling great!”

About: I have fostered for the SPCA since I was 12 and have owned pets my entire life. I have a passionate love for animals and recently discovered a new passion for pet sitting! I STRICTLY KEEP ONLY ONE PET FAMILY AT A TIME - so I can focus on their personal and familiar schedule, happiness, and safety. I ALSO WELCOME SPECIAL NEEDS PETS, as I have owned and cared for many myself. Keeping your pet is a privilege and brings me great joy, it is not a primary financial stream. (If you need a recurring or long-term sitter who will build a loving relationship with your pet, please contact me for discount.) As for my background and experience, as a youth, I began fostering animals for the SPCA at 12 years old, and then at 16 began raising and training guide dog puppies for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have been awarded volunteer and foster of the year both by the SPCA. As I got older. I saw a great need for foster parents who could bottle feed abandoned puppies and kittens, could care for older pets needing extra time and expertise, and pets with a wide variety of special needs. After adopting several special needs pets who would otherwise have difficulty finding a forever home (the last two passed away last year), I found myself wanting to adopt every animal I fostered. knowing that wasn’t realistic, I realized pet sitting might be better outlet for me to direct my love for animals (Without the pain of not knowing if the pet I fostered would eventually find a loving home). And I have loved hosting happy pets ever since! My children are now in college, and after losing my precious older dog and cat a couple years ago, I now only have one cat we rescued during a storm. My ultimate goal is for both you and your pet to be comfortable and have peace of mind before and during the time you are away, and I strive to love and entertain them so much that they feel at home (or on vacation) until you come back for them. I work from home, allowing me to be available for your pet at almost all times - which is especially helpful with puppies/kittens, older, or disabled pets that need to be closely watched. (I have many years experience with disabled, sick or elderly pets). I am experienced with giving both oral and injected meds, expressions, helping them eat, exercise, etc. Because I only pet sit one animal family at a time, I am able to adjust to your pet(s) schedule. Whatever makes him/her most comfortable! I take the trust and safety of pets very seriously, only keeping one pet (or family of pets) at a time. I also document a daily diary of their experiences, and send pictures on a daily basis (unless requested otherwise). You can review the daily diary document (as well as information I prefer to obtain before pet sitting), in my photos section. This document includes the preferred vet and emergency center I utilize, although I am happy to contact your preferred vet if provided to me. I also have multiple friends who are veterinarians, and I never hesitate to contact them if I am at all concerned about any pet in my care. I prefer dogs be crate trained if they are young and active, but while I have a large double-sized crate, it is only used if we are all gone for a short time (for the dog’s safety and comfort). The rest of the time pets are welcome on the bed to sleep with us, on furniture, etc. If there is a reason the dog can’t be crated, please discuss it with me and we can come up with safest and best plan for your pet! I also have a room set up for pets in case they want to be alone or have quiet time. It is also helpful if you bring a blanket from home, so s/he is comforted by the familiar smells of you and their loving home!

“We needed last minute dog care while traveling out of town and Cyd Marie did such an amazing job!! She was so sweet and friendly and the dogs loved her immediately. Her home is super warm and dog friendly. Couldn’t recommend her enough”

“I had an incredible experience with this sitter. I needed a quick sitter in 15 minutes, and she was right there to accept my dog. As soon as I arrived, she was very welcoming and friendly. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog while she was there, which was a great touch. There’s no other sitter like this one!”

About: Hi, I'm Bri and I've grown up with small and large dogs breeds. I love to train, walk, play and understand dogs. I know just how much your companion means to your family! As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being responsible for the needs of others, so caring for a pet fits very well into my lifestyle. I’m also able to give pets the extra attention they may need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day and can give pets plenty of companionship and attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods.

Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

I am a stay at home mom with a furbaby of our own, and I have complete open availability for overnight stays and play dates! "We have a large fenced in backyard that offers plenty of space for play and relaxation, nestled in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac.

Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy

“Best dog sitter ever! My Golden LOVES going to Elke’s house and she is always spoiled rotten every time she goes! She swims in the pool, chases lizards in the fenced in back yard and goes on long walks each day. We send her with her doggy shampoo and she always comes back home clean! Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! We always know she is in the best of hands!”

“Tracy was great with our little guy. She kept us updated with pictures and videos thru the day. He enjoyed her big backyard. We definitely will be back”

“Deanna is absolutely wonderful. She is so caring and personable and my pup, Toby just absolutely adores her and her little 10yo dog Nicco! Could not separate Toby and Nicco from each other and Toby gravitated to Deanna all the time forgetting I was even around or came to pick him up. Deanna's partner also loves animals and loves Toby. Toby sat on his feet even every time he or Deanna sat down. Very refreshing, their home and yard are perfect for dogs and cats and they really love and care for them as if they are theirs. Even let Toby sleep with them too. So funny and cute. Deanna is very willing to work with you and your schedule and you just need to be fair and keep in communication with her. Glad she became part of the Rover team, our favorite people Sheri and Jim in Lakeland and their beloved 14yo lab Charlotte, moved away a year ago and Toby and I greatly missed them. So happy to welcome Deanna here in Lakeland now with Rover for quite a few months; just had not looked or found her until end of February. She is the best.”
