Emily was incredibly quick to respond, and she was energetic and polite with her communications while watching our pup. We felt like our dog was in good hands, and we won’t hesitate to book with Emily again!

The best pet sitter in town! This was my first time leaving him for more than a few hours, and I was very nervous he wouldn’t do well. My dog absolutely adores Matt and got so excited the first time they met. Matt when over and above with his services and even took him out for an extra walk each day. I got tons of pictures and videos of Buddy having the time of his life! It was so nice to see Buddy having so much fun. If you are looking for someone to drop in for your dog Matt’s the person to go to!

Madison was very patient with my very shy cats. She gave me regular updates on how they were doing and went above and beyond with cleaning up after them. I felt like they were in kind and capable hands the entire week.

Lani’s first walking session got a little complicated when my dog became protective right at the front door. I reviewed the front door ring footage out of curiosity & was shocked to hear the noises that came from my pooch. Lani was so patient & still continued with the walking session even after some scary snarling. Lani communicated what was happening from the very beginning & even feels comfortable to return for additional walks. She was very understanding of my anxious/scared doggo.

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Emilie was amazing, she kept me updated with not just the care she provided for my cats, but also generally how they were doing (they seemed nervous at first but really opened up to her). She was so sweet with them and she took the BEST and silliest pictures of them. This was my first time ever using a pet sitting service and I’m so glad Emilie was so kind and accommodating. Definitely recommend her!

This was our first experience using Rover and I am so glad we found Danica. We booked Danica to drop in on our kitten based on reading stellar reviews and it was a seamless experience. She came by for a brief meet and greet and to talk logistics. Then during our trip we received daily Rover cards describing how our cat was doing as well as pictures. Would recommend 100%. We will definitely be reaching out for her to watch our cat on future occasions.

She did a great job watching my kitten while I was out of town! She always had plenty of pictures for me and wrote me a note after each visit! She followed all of my directions and has been very easy to work with and communicate with. I will definitely be using her again in the future! I would highly recommend her!!

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life, ranging from birds to dogs to cats. I have experience with animals of all sizes and ages, and am confident in my abilities to care for them to the fullest extent. I enjoy spending time with all types of breeds, and I have experience with different temperaments. I am well-aware of puppies lack of bladder/bowel control, and the need for many walks throughout the visit. I also have some experience in puppy training, from walking on a leash to common commands. I have a soft spot for senior animals, and I know how to make them feel special and as comfortable as possible. I will give your furry family members all the love they deserve. I am recently graduated from the University of Florida and have some extra time on my hands. I have a wide availability to care for any fur babies. I currently live with two cats, so I cannot offer in-home services. However, I will be very respectful of each clients homes, and make sure the animal is properly cared for depending on their needs. I will make sure to listen to your requests and follow them accordingly.
