4. Sky S.
“Sky is awesome and that’s an under statement. Our dog felt very comfortable at the meet and greet to where he started sleeping by her feet within 20 min. She’s amazing with him. Gives pictures and updates throughout the walk. You 100% should choose her to care for your pets. She’s one of a kind and we just feel at ease when she’s coming.”
5. Maggie D.
About: Hey there! My name is Maggie and I just moved to Sarasota from Denver, CO. I am also a dog mom to my sweet 3 year old pup, Frankie, as well as my boyfriend’s dogs, Bear and Regan. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, which is why I love Rover! I’d love to walk, play, feed, or just hang out with your dog anytime. I have experience living and taking care of both big and small dogs, but no matter what size, I love them all! I am currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am in town most weeks and weekends, aside from the occasional weekend getaway. I have a fenced in backyard, which is where our 3 dogs love to play. I also love to get some exercise myself, so we are a big fan of walks!

“Agnessa has taken care of my dog and two bunnies on several occasions and always does an exceptional job. My pets have a special diet that requires a lot of steps and attention to detail, and Agnessa is always very thorough and follows through on everything I ask. She is very dependable, always goes above and beyond and is my go to pet-sitter. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Danielle was an awesome dog walker! She is very communicative and was great with my dog. She was very understanding if I had a schedule change or needed extra help. She is awesome.”
10. Annie A.
“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”
11. Amber S.
“Amber definitely has a natural intuition with pups. Our 3 yr old rescue is so timid with most people but was completely comfortable with Amber after her first visit & walk. We are pleased to have Amber help us with our pups. She is has a huge heart, is very considerate & competent ! 5 stars all around!”

13. Kim S.

“So thankful for Nicole! My dogs had such a great time with her! She was incredibly professional and punctual. She communicated with me very well which gave me a lot of reassurance.”
15. Kristin M.
“Kristin is an amazing animal lover who provides a safe and loving environment for not only her dog but has taken care of many of her friend’s pets. She is great not only with dogs but cats as well. I would highly recommend her to take care of your best friend.”
16. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”
17. Fabrice L.
“Fabrice was so professional, kind and caring with our dog. She was so happy to see him come for the walks! I would highly recommend Fabrice.”
18. Robert J.
“We are new to the area and searched Rover for someone close to our VRBO who could take our 8 year- old, chocolate lab, Hunter for a long walk and give him dinner. We found Robert and are so glad we did. We met at a local park for our meet and greet and I knew he would take good care of Hunter. Robert was great communicating through text before, during and after spending time with our dog, which made it easier for us to enjoy a longer evening out with friends. Would definitely recommend Robert to look after your pet.”
19. Erin F.
“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”
