“Rebeca is a fantastic sitter for my sweet Goldendoodle Adaline. I truly appreciate her kindness towards Addie, and her dedication in taking the very best care of her while I’m at work. 🐾”

“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”


“Nicole took wonderful care of Bailey while I was on vacation. Her great communication and photos really made it easy to relax on vacation and feel that Bailey was in great hands. I appreciated how well she handled his special needs, nurtured him and even brought up things she noticed to make sure they were normal Bailey behaviors or if he needed something additional. I am so happy with her services (Bailey was too, he seemed so happy!) and will definitely leave Bailey in her care again.”

“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cat was calm and well cared for when I returned. Everything was neat and orderly in my house. She brought all my mail and packages inside as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

About: I am conscientious, non-smoking, loving, caring, and trustworthy professional who understands the dedication and commitment required to look after your fur baby/babies. I have owned pets for more than 20 years and they all have always been spoiled rotten :). Growing up with pets and having my own as well, I became familiar with many pet conditions. If your furry baby has any medical needs I will assist in every way possible to make him/her comfortable. After my fur-baby passed away, I have chosen to fill the void of having a pet by looking after other people’s pets. While you are away, I will literally adopt your pet for the time it is with me and will treat him/her exactly as I would if it were my own. Your baby/babies will have fun with me and my son who loves animals more than anyone I’ve ever met (including critters and reptiles which are his specialty). Your baby/babies can watch TV with with us, sleep in bed or investigate things in and outside the house when out walking. I know that each pet has their own personality and style. I will adapt to exactly what your pet needs. My aim is to make your furry baby happy and provide the attention he or she ever wants and needs! I am a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker. Although I have to leave for house showings from time to time, your fur puppy will not be left home alone the whole time while I am gone. My 18 year old son will walk the pups to make sure they are not alone for long. I live in a townhouse with lots of trails around. I enjoy walking, so frequent nature walks will be a part of the routine. I have a very large back patio the dogs like to go on and absorb the sun. I always follow the same routine you do as I want your baby to feel at home.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, which is one of the things that makes me different from other sitters. I’ve had a German Shepherd named Remi, two Australian Shepherds named Sullivan and Sailor, and a Pit Bull named Izzy, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and personalities. Growing up with them taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and loving with every pet. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Since being out of college and home for the summer, my schedule is very opened and flexible. I am available every day of the week and every time that is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, a spacious home for puppies to run around in and would be more than happy to crate your pet if needed.
“Jose and Alexis are so great!! Very responsive & reliable. Always sending photos and ensuring my dog was comfortable and had fun. They play, walk, run, jog - anything you need. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.
“First time using Rover and Alexi was excellent, we will definitely book with her again. She was always on time, sent pics and provided feedback to reassure us she was doing ok. Thanks Lexi!”


“She was prompt and super kind! Quick response time. One of the days she came to visit our pet, the rover app was down, so she went out of her way to check in & send pictures through text. Awesome experience!”

“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”

About: I have owned dogs all my life so I am definitely a dog person. I have a 9yr old male chiweenie named Gizmo and a 2yr old female american bully named Nova who loves to play. I treat all animals like they were my own. Will follow any special request or orders for your fur babies. Looking to provide the services you need for extra cash I need. My schedule is pretty flexible. My days are open in the afternoons for walks and drop ins. So if you are looking for someone who loves dogs and will treat yours right I am the one for you! I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry bundles of joy. I work most mornings, but still provide care before I leave and we can discuss in detail what it is you need or expect from me. I have a fenced in yard so they can have plenty space to run safely if high energy. I never take the dog out without a leash.

“Tina was beyond excellent with dropping in to check on Callie while we werent home for a day and even went above and beyond took her for two walks keep us updated. Thank You sooo much!!”

“Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!”

About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.
About: I have a lot of energy and love to go on long walks. I can help tire your pup out, or I can take your dog for a casual sniff and pee. I also love playing with cats. I am currently between jobs and have open availability to care for your pets. I can accommodate same day bookings. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. I plan to care for you pets with the same love and affection I show mine. When I am with your family member, they will be my priority.
“Abigail was so easy to trust with my bunny, Clyde!! She kept me updated as she was on her way over, sent me pictures and videos while she was with him, and sent me a full update after. I felt that Clyde was in great hands while I was gone and didn’t have to worry about him because I knew she’d take great care of him. Thank you!!!”

Nicole was awesome. She handled every one of my care requirements. She connected very well with my cat, he's usually slow to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to her right away. She was reliable, and easy to communicate with the whole time I was away. Highly recommend.
