DeDe did a great job. We have 5 cats, including kittens of varying ages, that had to be fed separately to keep the adults from gobbling up all the food. She sent us daily pictures showing everyone eating and playing. She handles it well and everyone was happy and fed when we got home. Best of all our house didn't smell like a litter box. She is a master scooper. We will definitely have DeDe come back and recommend her.

About: Hi! I’m a certified canine trainer with experience ranging from basic obedience to working dogs trained in scent detection, tracking, and behavior modification. I’m comfortable with all breeds, including reactive or aggressive dogs, and always focus on safe, individualized care. I also have a background in veterinary medicine with hands-on experience administering medications, monitoring vitals, wound care, and post-operative support. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. I work three 12-hour hospital shifts per week and am away from 6:30 AM–8:00 PM on workdays. My schedule is created about 6 weeks in advance, so if you book far enough ahead, I can often tailor my availability to best fit your pet’s needs. Otherwise, I’m a great fit for pets comfortable being alone during that time or with someone available to stop by once while I’m working. On my off days, I have much more flexibility and availability. I’d love to be a reliable, experienced caregiver for your pet. I currently work three 12-hour shifts each week at Lakeland Regional Health, and while those workdays rotate weekly, I still have consistent availability. I also attend school two days a week for just a few hours, which means I have plenty of flexibility to offer pet care services. Because my work schedule changes weekly, I’m able to plan pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins around your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s early morning routines, evening check-ins, or full-day companionship, I do my best to be available when it matters most. On my days off, I dedicate uninterrupted time to giving pets the attention, structure, and love they deserve. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority—whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I use secure kennels to provide pets with a cozy, structured space, especially during rest periods or overnight stays. For transport, I have two large, crash-tested Ruffland kennels in my vehicle to ensure every ride is as safe as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I take every effort to follow your instructions to the letter. I believe consistency is key, so I maintain your pet’s routine—from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or sleeping spots. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first.

Kim was INCREDIBLE! I have a ragdoll kitty who is very needy! I work from home and had NEVER left him alone overnight. Our first trip away was EIGHT nights!! I was so stressed to leave him and had no idea what to expect! I had Kim come over in the morning and the evening - when he follows us around like a puppy dog! She loved on him, played with him, gave him treats and even brushed him daily!!! He got all the love he needed and after a couple visits by Kim I felt 100% at ease and no stress at all! I will be hiring her every single time from this point on! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)

About: Hi there! I'm Lyndsay! I am a 28, and am very understanding of what a dog needs, and will always keep their emotions, safety and energy level all into focus for them to have the best time possible that is beneficial to them! I am known to aimlessly walk around the streets of nyc, letting the city call towards different spots it wants me to see, a perfect quality for walking lovely dogs! I have three family dogs, one older American Eskimo, and two Border Collies under the age of two, meaning I am still pretty equip and up to date with handling puppies. My baby sister turns 12 in May and is a type 1 diabetic! Through this experience, I want to help find her the perfect diabetic dog to aid in her growth! I used to have a senior dog who passed away from cancer (bless his soul) but in his final stages, we crafted such a lovely last year of his life through love, support and comfort. This meant, taking medications, being fragile and cautious, but above all, find the love in his heart. I can't wait to meet, play and love your furry friends :) I have a very relaxed schedule, so I am easily accommodating and eager to help out! This is a full time job for me, as I have had over 193 clients over the past 6 years! I have a fenced yard and 3 other dogs inside of my own family home! If they want friendship, we can have playtime. If not, I can crate my own if needed for the safety of everyone involved!

Kylee is amazing!! This was my first time using Rover for our boxer dog. I was nervous to allow a stranger into our home for drop in visits but Kylee really made me feel at ease. I could not have asked for a better experience! Kylee was always on time, extremely reliable, quick with all communications and provided daily photos and details of her visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!

Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Finnley, for an entire week. This was my first time using Rover to find a pet sitter rather than using a boarding kennel, and I am happy to say I had a wonderful experience. I would recommend Megan to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals of all kinds, sizes, and ages. I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone patient, trustworthy, and caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra attention or affection. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! I’m currently a hotel manager with a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for caring for animals. I’m most available after 2 PM throughout the week, but with advance notice I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate earlier visits as well. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have two friendly frenchies to keep your fur baby company and a fun time! I have a fenced yard and a pet safe environment with lots of entertainment for them!

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own — with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m great with shy dogs, energetic puppies, and senior pets that need extra patience and gentle care. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their personality and routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I make time throughout the day for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m also very reliable when it comes to sticking to routines and providing updates to pet parents, so pets stay happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or outdoor areas, give lots of attention and playtime, and make sure pets get the exercise or quiet time they need. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

A++ Thank you Andria for doing such a great job caring for Daisy Duke! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. I especially appreciated your prior willingness to come and visit with us to allow Daisy to see you as a friend and recognize you when you cared for her in my absence. Couldn’t be more pleased with how well it worked out, I know she was well taken care of and the pics you sent me to keep me posted really put my mind at ease. A very big thanks!!!!
