This was our first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jamie is very kind hearted and our two fur babies enjoyed their time with her. One of our pups usually does not immediately take to people and she went right over to Jamie and visited with her a couple of times during our meet and greet prior to hiring Jamie. Jamie was fine with the instructions we left for feeding, walking, and how to make our fur family feel less stressed by keeping their routine. We already have Jamie scheduled for two more trips we have coming up. Thanks for your help Jamie. ☺️

Kathy housesat for us for a week. She was wonderful with our two little dogs. She took good care of them, brushing them and sending us many fotos. They obviously liked her as we saw upon our return. The house was also immaculate and all the plants in good condition. We highly recommend her to anyone wishing pet care in your own home.

Donna was the best find on Rover! We interviewed a few people and just didn’t feel comfortable until we found her. She showed up when she said, our pups loved her, and we are so thankful for her. 😊

MASHA IS INCREDIBLE! The best dog sitter in Sarasota!!! I have had many sitters and she sets the bar incredibly high. She provides excellent care, I mean EXCELLENT care. She went above and beyond caring for my pup and providing updates. She left my home in better condition than she found it. She came on very short notice and is such a pro it was the most comfortable I have ever felt while being away. I truly truly felt like she cared for him as if he was her own dog. Seriously look no further Masha is the best choice in a dog sitter.

Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!

I have previously entrusted Klency’s services to care for both of my bulldogs, who require specialized attention due to their breed. She was consistently punctual in administering their medications and remained highly responsive, providing frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and messages. Her attentiveness and professionalism gave me peace of mind, making my work trips significantly less stressful, knowing my pets were in capable hands. Additionally, my dogs were always excited to see her, which reassured me that they had a positive and comfortable experience under her care. I’m happy to recommend Klency to Rover ensuring she is a trustworthy person and true animal lover.

19 years of experience

About: I grew up with 50-gallon fish tanks, 3 big dogs and one small one, and I rescued a cat recently. I love animals so much!!! If I had a house just for rescues I would. I am waiting to hear to volunteer at Humane society. I currently have a part time job at HomeGoods. And I am in college online but I can always make more into my schedule. I am always looking to fill my extra time. I am always ahead of my schoolwork and on time for my job. I grew up with different animals and the proper care they each need so I have a full understanding of how all of them work. And also, once my oldest dog got elderly, he went blind and had to go on medication and I always took care of him when I was 13 and had no problem.

I can’t say enough good things about Sandra. I’ve always been hesitant to have someone stay in my apartment to watch Georgia but ultimately it is a lot less stressful on her especially as she gets older. Sandra was just wonderful. She sent photos and updates daily and took great care of everything in my place not just the dog :) the staff in my building and my neighbors commented on how lovely she was. Very happy to have found her. Oh and Georgia loved her!

I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.
