House Sitting in Westwood Lakes

“Absolutely phenomenal job Lydia and Emmitt watching our two dogs while we were away. Not only did they take care of our pups, but had to deal with our AC going out the 2nd day we were gone. They handled it in stride, all the while keeping us updated with pictures, walks, and coming home to a clean house and well taken care of doggos was more than we could of asked for. Highly recommend them for your pets needs!”

“Alyssa was available to take care of my boy at the last minute, and im not sure why she was available to book because she did an amazing job caring for my 75 pound siberian husky. She went above and beyond to ensure his needs were met and provided lots of photo updates to put my mind at rest that everything was going fine.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.

“Mary was very good at taking care of my cat , during our trip to the uk . She was prompt at replying to my texts about how Alfie was adjusting , and kept me informed of his eating patterns . Very happy with her service .”

“Rumi did an amazing job watching all 5 (!) of my pets, two cats and three large dogs. No easy task! She even got my defensive Shepard to calm down and accept her enough to get a belly rub, which is a rare occasion. I’m extremely grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be booking her for future trips.”

“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”

“Doug is such a caring person. He took amazing care of our dog and house for more than a week. Our dog absolutely loved him. Moreover he took care of our plants and fish. He also did a very beautiful sketch of our dog. He is so talented! We are highly recommending him!”

“Callie took care of my Lily and did an amazing job! She took her on walks on the beach, gave her a bath, and entertained her all weekend! She also provided pictures of my dog to keep me updated.”

About: I may be new to the Rover community but I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 a golden retriever and a mini Aussie. I pet sit for many family members and friends in the neighborhood including both cats and dogs. I would love to get to know your furry friends! I currently am a college student home for the summer so I am free whenever to pet sit/pet walk. This is literally my dream job. I am willing to do anything that the owner needs for their pet. I love dogs and am very willing to do anything needed in your home.

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our senior dog and our home while we were away. She provided updates and photos throughout her stay. I highly recommend Stephanie to take care of your fur baby and home.”

Fran E.

“Victoria was absolutely amazing with my fur babies! They are older and require medication administration with meals / can have some anxiety but she was on the ball and made sure everyone was on schedule with meds and meal time ! I came home to the house the exact way I'd left it ! (Maybe a bit tidier!) I would recommend Victoria to anyone and will be hiring her to take care of my pups whenever I go out of town in the future !”

“Paige was wonderful. Our girls loved her. The day after our meet and greet, the girls were excited to see her. Thank you Paige. We'll see you again.”

“Hailee was amazing! She stayed at my apartment with my dog for 10 days while I was out of the country. She sent a ton of pictures and videos, and I came home to a happy dog & clean apartment!”

“Lucas did a great job caring for our lab. He engages well with the dog and seems to genuinely like caring for him. He was very respectful of our home and communicates well. Lucas is very responsible and trustworthy. Highly recommend him!!!”

“Joy is an amazing human being. She loved my furbaby and did a house sit in for a week while I was away on a vacation. She's very caring and considerate about all the little quirks and needs of a pet. She was very proactive with the updates, she had video calls to help me talk to my pet. She kept my house spotless, I would 100% recommend her to anyone and hope that she is able to care for my pupper again.”

About: I really treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know their routines, what makes them feel safe, and what brings them joy—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just some quiet company. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I also recently raised and trained a puppy in the last 4 years. I am pretty flexible for the most part! I work a remote job so its easy for me to be here and there. Just really depends on your needs. It really just depends on what the owner prefers! I am all about sticking to routine to keep the pups happy and relaxed. I follow instructions very closely.

“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”

About: My dog is my whole world. He’s family. And I’m sure your pet is your whole world as well. That’s why I make it my priority to treat your pet the way I want someone to treat mine; like family (Olive Garden and I share the same sentiment). I have experience caring for young and old dogs. I also make sure that I closely follow any routines or schedules that you provide. I am a teacher, so during the summer months I will have a lot of availability to walk, drop-in, stay with, or host your dog. I am happy to come to your home to care for your pet. I do have my own friendly dog, so I ask that if you need me for more than an hour or two that he be allowed to join me. He gets along great with dogs and cats. We can arrange a meeting before having your dog and mine interact. For care in my home: Welcome home! My dog is allowed on furniture, and so is yours. I have a spare bedroom where a kennel can be set up for dogs who like their space at night (or they can be with me). I have a screened lanai for dogs who like to be outside but don’t want to run around.
