Evelyn treated Stella like her own: was eager to check on it, noticed ailments and resolved them. She communicated on the dot and left no room for any mishaps. I'll be having her take care of Stella again at the earliest time available!

Kim is absolutely fantastic. Everyday she kept me in the loop with an honest update about my two kitties with pictures, which I appreciated tremendously. Kim is now my go-to sitter. Your pet is in great hands with her.

Emma is the BEST! She was available extremely last minute when my husband and I had to go out of town for a family emergency. She still found time in her day to make sure she did a meet and greet to meet our babies before we left. The whole time we were away she was sending us pictures and staying in communication with us so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Leaving your pets while traveling can be stressful but Emma truly made sure we had nothing to worry about! We have a newly diagnosed diabetic cat and she made sure he got his insulin twice a day. Your pets are in great hands with Emma, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Nicole was absolutely fantastic with our Meadow! Her communication from the beginning was prompt and thorough. Although I probably had an excessive amount of instruction, she followed through with everything. She was very easy to work with and an obvious animal lover. Meadow warmed up to her and was glad to see her every visit. We will definitely book Nicole again! Thank You!

Viktoryia S has shown tremendous care for a dog that had cancer. Not everyone has the patience and the love for animals to give a sick dog the attention it requires in its last days as Viktoryia has. I would definitely recommend Viktoryia to anyone who needs a pet caregiver.

I have 2 cats and 2 dogs and Bailey loves them all. I know one of the dogs can be energetic, but she always greets them with enthusiasm whenever she comes over. On our first meeting she brought a binder of paper and a pen so she could take notes on how I wanted my pets taken care of and the differences in their schedules and she made sure to write everything down and took wonderful notes. I had her stay over so the pets wouldn't get lonely and Bailey happily agreed. It gave me peace of mind that my pets were safe and so was my home.

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!

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.

Monica is an extremely reliable, caring, and approachable person. Her love for animals is evident in the way she cares for her own dog, and her dedication to providing the best possible home for a dog is admirable. I cannot recommend her as a pet sitter enough. In Monica’s care, your dog will be loved and entertained as if it has been a part of her family all along.

Ashley is very calm, which is really important with a bulldog because you don't want them to get overheated. I could tell my dog liked her because she was very calm when I came home. All of this is very important to me! I would definitely recommend Ashley!

I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!
