About: Hi, I’m David. As a lifelong animal lover, providing dedicated, high-quality pet care is very much second nature to me. I understand firsthand the deep bond we share with our animals—a bond I thoroughly enjoyed for nearly 13 unforgettable years with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Because I work remotely and typically enjoy a flexible schedule, your pet will have constant companionship, individual attention, and seamless supervision throughout the day. Whether they are boarding at my place or I am house-sitting at yours, they will never be a secondary priority. I treat every guest like a member of my family. Whether your pet thrives on active walks, playful energy, or just quiet companionship, they will enjoy a relaxing, boutique stay tailored entirely to their normal routine. I know how tough it is to be away from your fur baby, so I am fully committed to keeping you connected with photos, videos, and text updates as often as you prefer. For your convenience, I also offer same-day appointments and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I primarily work remotely and enjoy a flexible schedule, so I'm generally available most days/nights when needed. I can also be available with little or no notice assuming no prior committments. I have an open grass yard in both the front and back of my property, and I enjoy spending time outside. I'm very open to keeping pet owners as informed as possible and am happy to keep you up to date with photo logs throughout the day.
“We felt very comfortable leaving our babies behind with Penny! Now we can travel without worries and know that our kitties will be taken care of. She was very communicative and thorough. We will be using her again :)”


About: I have been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 12 am now 37 and love dogs as well as they love me also. I have 4 dogs of my own well taken care of too. I take them for daily walks when its not so hot in the florida heat. I can potty train them if they are puppies as I had recently rescued one 3 years ago and had to retrain her from the beginning. Shes such a good girl. Chihuahua that is. Im currently working full-time but il have plenty of time to play with your pups. Im available some mornings from 5am til 930am and afternoons after 2pm. My schedule varies all the time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have 4 friendly dogs. 1 small and 3 medium sized. Willing to work with you however you want.
About: My mom raised basset hounds and I certainly have a fondness for the breed but I love most four legged babies. My home is quiet and calm so older pets can be reassured of a relaxing experience. I enjoy leash walking and my neighborhood is quiet so walks won't be overstimulating or scary. I work from home but do work Saturdays from 10-5 at a local boutique as well. Most of my boarders are okay with being left alone for that length of time. I can easily crate your pet if that is what they are used to. Detailed instructions are always welcomed in regard to feeding, walking and bathroom breaks for your pet.
“I'm not one who writes reviews, but I had to get this one out there. This young lady is amazing, took such good care of my senior dog and so much that he was sorry to see her go. She was on time, extremely professional, courteous to the point where words this can't describe the experience. Thank You TL”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to love and care for their furry friends!

“Kaylin watched my 2 pups for 6 days and housesat for us as well. She sent me daily updates and photos so I knew my pups were happy. She was able to do some leash and obedience training with both of them. She also trimmed their nails, groomed them, and picked up our house! She’s awesome! I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.”

“Cassandra was super professional and sweet with my dog Willow! Id admit my willow isn’t good with new people but Cassandra was calm and patient with her and went above and beyond with the care of my willow! Id definitely want her services again and so would my willow ?”
About: Since childhood, I’ve always cared for dogs. After losing my beloved dog, I’ve longed to feel that special connection again, and I’m ready to give your pup the love they deserve. I work part-time, so I can take your dog out during the morning shift or lunch breaks, ensuring they get the attention they deserve while you’re at work. My home is pet-friendly with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can roam freely and safely. I provide the same care and attention when walking dogs in their own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in a familiar environment.
About: I am always looking for a furry friend when out and about! I love giving attention to furry friends who need it! I will shower your pet with love! I currently work part time in Punta Gorda. I am a full time college student specializing in computers. I love spending time outdoors and exercising. I have a fenced in yard, with two fur babies who will show some love to yours! I love the outdoors, so I will always bring your baby along with!
About: Brand new to Roverm but I have dozens of 5 Star Reviews on Trusted Housesitters. I am exceptional with both dogs and cats, and love caring for them. I am an empty nester, so I no longer have pets of my own. I recently moved to Arlington to be near my children, and signed up for Rover to hang with some cats and dogs!! I had both cats and dogs my entire life: first as a child; then with my own children. I trained all our own pets and am great with them. For many years, I was on Trusted House-Sitters and always received a 5 Star Review. I'll do an amazing job for you. I am mature, responsible, resourceful, and respectful. Thank You and Best Wishes I have tons of free time to care for and play with the pets. I enjoy doing it and pets really respond to me and love me. I am very flexible and can walk, play, and provide medication for your per as needed. I've literally cared for cats and dogs my entire life.
“Exceptional! First time I’ve left my animals with someone “not family “ and was pleasantly surprised. They loved her. She made everyone feel comfortable, cared for, spoiled and safe. Highly recommended from here!”
