“Leona was so great with our Greta while we were away! She made friends with Greta, who is usually strange with people she doesn’t know, putting her at ease till we returned. We highly recommend Leona!”
About: I have loved and taken care of animals ever since I could remember. I love all dogs and cats and they tend to love me too! Currently I’m focusing on college and working part time. My hours are very flexible as of right now so I’ll be available at virtually all times. I will follow directions the best I can. While you’re not there, keeping the animals’ schedule is very important to me. If I asked someone to watch my animals, I’d expect them to take as much care as I would.
About: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a dog for 10 years and currently have a young puppy and a senior cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime, and I can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. I’m happy to provide regular updates and give your pet plenty of attention while you’re away. I have a puppy and a senior cat at home who are both very loved and well cared for. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I keep their living areas clean and safe and make sure they get the care and supervision they need throughout the day.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and I have experience working at a veterinary clinic where I cared for dogs daily. Your animals will be in great hands! I have just moved to Florida and I am available mostly anytime any day. If anything changes I will update my availability as soon as possible. I am capable of caring for your animal in the ways you need, whether it is feeding, walking, playing, or anything else you might want!
“We really appreciated Abigail's help with taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She gave great updates every visit with pictures. We will definitely try to use her again when we need someone for our pets.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I currently have a well behaved 3 year old Golden Retriever and an outdoor cat who loves his life and his momma. I also pet sit for friends’ senior dogs and enjoy helping strays, so I’m comfortable with both puppies and older pets. I love giving pets the attention, care, and playtime they need to feel happy and safe, and I would be thrilled to care for more furry family members! I’m a loving, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like one of my own. Whether I’m providing drop in visits, walks, or home care, I focus on keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained. This can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of affection.. whatever best fits your pet’s daily routine. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including my own Golden Retriever, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved when you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available throughout the week with plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I work locally and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give them consistent attention and routine. My goal is to provide dependable, professional care while making sure your pets have a fun, stress free experience every time. I provide loving, attentive care whether I’m in my home or visiting a client’s home. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I follow any specific routines or instructions from the owner to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.
“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”
“Ashton was very helpful, courteous, and professional, and she was able to coax our more reclusive cats out for interaction during drop in visits! We loved getting reports and photos for each visit, which helped us feel secure that our furry babies were being treated well in our absence. Definitely recommend Ashton for your pet sitting/drop in visit needs!”
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
“Lyudmila was amazing! It was my first time booking a Kitty Daycare for both of my indoor cats, and on top of that, it was my first time taking them to another house, so I was very nervous. But Lyudmila was So kind and caring and very reassuring! She was very communicative and sent me updates and pictures throughout their stay! Her house and the room the girls stayed in were both very clean and pet safe. During the afternoon pickup, when my youngest, Juniper (calico) was being fussy, Lyudmila and her daughter were very helpful and assisted my mom in carefully corralling both cats in their carriers. My girls were well taken care of and I felt so comfortable with Lyudmila! I will definitely book with her again and I highly recommend anyone to book with her! Thank you so much for taking care of my girls on such short notice, Lyudmila! 🥰”
“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, and currently own four. I love animals, and I'm currently training for a vet-tech certification. I work at a doggy-daycare and boarding facility full-time. Trained in dog behavior and pet first-aid (including CPR). I work all day (7am-7pm) Thurs, Fri, and Sun. This is my consistent schedule, but I can move things around to adjust for your pet! All other days, I am free all day. I will follow any instructions you give to a T! Very adaptable and ready to accommodate your dogs' needs. I can walk dogs, administer medications, and keep spaces clean, along with anything else you may need.
About: I am a current psychology student at GCSC , planning to apply my degree as an animal trainer. I have completed 2 marine mammal training internships and 1 seasonal aviculture position in a professional care setting. Growing up we had cats in the home but I grew up around dogs pet sitting for my childhood neighborhood. Additionally I have worked at a Pet Supplies Plus location gaining exposure to small mammals, reptiles and fish. Outside of school I currently volunteer with Ocean Connections , working with Labrador Retrievers , Macaws and observing California Sea Lions. As a mostly online student I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide services at your convenience! I currently have availability Monday + Wednesdays before 11 or after 12:15 , Tuesdays + Thursdays after 10:15 am & all day Saturday. Currently on Sundays I volunteer with a local animal rescue from 8-1 pm but am able to clear availability if given reasonable time to accommodate! I pride myself on being a diligent individual who takes the safety and integrity of the animals in my care as my upmost responsibility. With experience working in professional care environments checking even the most mundane things twice is second nature to me.
About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
