“I was so impressed with Kim. She took care of my dog, Nala, for the weekend. It was the first time leaving her with someone she really didn’t know, so she was a little hesitant at first, but Kim was patient with Nala and they soon became good buds! Nala is as Kim says ‘a unique bundle’ and she is completely right and really took great care of her. Kim put me at ease with daily pictures and updates. Also, when I came back home, I really appreciated how it looked just like how I left it. Thank you so much Kim! Will definitely use her services again!”
“Our experience with Jamie was 10/10. It is very nerve wracking to allow someone to stay in your home for over 2 weeks and watch your pets, but we were instantly put at ease by her level of care. Jamie was very communicative, sent regular updates and coordinated vet visits when one of our pets became ill. When we came home the house was spotless and looked better than we had left it. I highly recommend Jamie to care for your pets.”
“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”
“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!”
“Erin watched our two dogs for over a week. She did a great job with communicating daily and sending cute pics and videos. Highly recommend Erin! We already have her booked for next trip.”
About: Hello! My name is Bella and I am new to rover! I have 3 years of experience pet sitting and would love to take care of your furry friends! I’ve always had a love for all animals and have cared for senior animals as well! Looking forward to hearing from you! I’m working part time and have flexible hours so I can be available anytime you need me! I like pet sitting because I get to meet new people and their fur babies. Since I work from home it’s a good opportunity to get out of the house too! I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in my company. I will send updates as frequently as you would like and stay with them as long as you’d like!
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and recently started watching pets for my friends & neighbors. I enjoy being with animals and making sure they are happy and pampered. I'm retired and I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets any time you need. Days, nights, weekends, holidays and overnight stays welcome. Whatever your pet needs to stay healthy and active I can accommodate. Walking, playing, scooping, feeding, watering, and dosing meds plus a daily update with photo.
“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”
“Alex went above and beyond! Desi was immediately charmed. Alex also took her to the dog park, and communicated throughout the entire time. Will def be my first contact the next time i need a sitter. Thanks a million”
About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.
“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.”
“Ian was a fantastic sitter! I had him stay at my house since my puppy had just gotten spayed and wasn’t used to being alone — he did a tremendous job! He was communicative, respectful and followed all the instructions closely. He was also flexible with pick up and drop off since it changed a couple of times and my pup immediately liked him ? I will definitely use him in the future and will tell all my local friends about him as well!”
“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. 😊”
“Nicole is Holly & Cole’s bestest buddy! It was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than us and Nicole took all of the worries away. She’s trustworthy, great with our pets, and writes the sweetest updates while we’re away from our fur babies. Highly recommend 🐾”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every animal I care for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means helping a puppy learn good habits with gentle, consistent training or giving extra love and comfort to a senior dog who just wants a calm, cozy space. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my time around their needs, making sure to include walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love. I enjoy adjusting my day to give them company and attention, whether it’s for scheduled visits or longer stays. For me, it’s not just a task—it’s one of the best parts of my week! When I care for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel at ease. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet gets personalized care and attention, just like they would if their family were there.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats before. But my favorite experience was when I took care of a pregnant cat and got to see her kittens grow up. I’m a Sarasota native and a full time student at the State College of Florida. Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals- dogs, cats, horses, tortoises, and more- I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of pets. I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each animal’s needs, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I will care for your pets by walking them at their own pace and making sure they have plenty of water during the walk. I will also make sure that your pets follow the rules you have for your house during visits and make sure they are having fun.

Albert U.

Carly B.
“I have two pups, Mya and Milo, that Carly always takes great care of when she watches them. Mya is a 17 year old Jindo, which if you know anything about the breed, you know they are very smart, very loyal, and can be very protective. On top of that, she also has health issues that requires medication and attention. Due to both of these things it is extremely hard to find someone both we and Mya trust to watch her when we are away, but Carly is one of those few people. She is gentle and patient with Mya, makes sure medications are given at the correct time, and sends us pictures to ease our anxiety of being away. Milo on the other hand is a Corgi who is much, MUCH easier to handle. She is equally as great with him, and I think he might like her more than us (he sure seems disappointed when we come home). All in all, she is very kind and attentive towards our dogs’ drastically different needs, and I would recommend her to anyone who is needing someone to take care of their pups — whether it’s just for walking or extended time away.”

“Tracy is very kind and was an exceptional commentator. I will definitely book her again.”

Cherokee Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sophia did a terrific job dog sitting our very active terrier in our home for 6 days. She was loving towards him and sent us daily reports and cute photos. She also picked up our mail and newspapers and left our house neat and clean. We can highly recommend Sophia!
Nicole is Holly & Cole’s bestest buddy! It was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than us and Nicole took all of the worries away. She’s trustworthy, great with our pets, and writes the sweetest updates while we’re away from our fur babies. Highly recommend 🐾
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Danielle stayed overnight with our girl and was absolutely wonderful! Communication was great throughout the trip. I got regular updates and never had to worry. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and taking out the garbage for us. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Juju was home and in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
Danielle was super helpful watching our pups and senior cat for us at the last minute. She is super communicative sending pictures and keeping us updated on how things were going at home. We had a great trip thanks to Danielle. We knew they were in great hands. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again. We can’t wait to have her help us out again soon
Joy is absolutely fantastic. My pup had a waggy tail for her the second time that he met her, and he usually takes a long time to trust someone. I was quite surprised and thoroughly pleased. It made leaving him in her care so much easier for me. I will absolutely have Joy stay in my home and take care of Jax EVERY time that I am away. She was a perfect guest and fantastic caretaker for Jax.
This was the first time leaving our fur baby as well as our first time working with Sandra. Our family was able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our fur baby was being loved and cared for. This comfort was established from the initial introduction. While away we received daily updates showing that he was doing well and upon returning home it was solidified by his mannerisms. Not only was our pup well cared for but so was our home. We are already looking forward to planning more trips for our family. Thank you Sandra!
