1. Kimberly Q.
“Kimberly was wonderful! We needed a sitter for our dog at The Westin in Sarasota. She navigated traffic, construction, and super busy hotel traffic and even showed up early. Most importantly, her kind and calm demeanor immediately settled our shy dog. He liked her much he even tried to follow her out our hotel door as she was leaving! If ever we’re in Sarasota again, we’ll definitely be calling Kimberly. We are grateful for her!”
2. Chelsea D.
“Chelsea took my dog Bailey for a walk the other day while I was out of the house, and again while I had to do chores around the house. Seeing how happy Bailey was to see Chelsea melted my heart! She follows directions to what is needed while away, let alone gives my baby scratches and love! I’ll request her as much as I can.”
3. Kelly S.
“Kelly put our minds at ease and allowed us to have a wonderful evening out with family. When we are back in town again we would absolutely love to have her care for our pup. Thank you so much!”
4. Courtney B.
“Courtney shows that caring for animals is her passion. No matter where she goes dogs seem to gravitate towards her. Which says a lot about someone's personality if dogs go up to them willingly.”
5. Morgan H.
“Morgan did a wonderful job staying in our home with our 2 Bichon's for a 3 day and 3 night stay. We have a high energy (not always easy!) puppy and a much older dog who has poor eyesight and also needs to be "protected" from the puppy. It's not an easy job. Morgan was so warm, loving, positive, and on top of everything! She clearly takes her role as a professional seriously and she confidently followed all of our notes and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. She is extremely responsive to all communications and answered all questions we had, gave us updates any time, and was honest about how our dogs were doing (like when they weren't eating well she told us). That gave us a lot of peace of mind. The dogs clearly adored her and we came home to our house in perfect shape and healthy happy pups. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”
6. Shelley R.
“Shelley has taken care of both of my dogs on several occasions. She is always very communicative and goes above and beyond to make sure one of my dogs gets the care and medical attention it needs. One of my dogs gets a daily medication and my other dog has separation anxiety. I appreciate Her willingness to keep me updated and the pictures she sends me during my time away letting me know my dogs are well taken care of.”
7. Hadassah B.
“To whom It May Concern, I am thrilled to recommend HADASSAH as an outstanding dog walker. She has been walking my dog for over a year and her dedication reliability, and genuine love for animals have been evident in every interaction. HADASSAH has a natural talent for connecting with dogs and always ensure my pet receives excellent care and attention. Her punctuality, professionalism, and detailed updates have given me peace of mind, knowing my dog is the best hands. Her commitment to provide exceptional service make her a perfect fit for the Rover community. I highly endorsed HADASSAH for any dog walking or pet services. Thank you Lenny Ellis”
8. Rinn S.
“Rinn was great. All the instructions were followed and everything was in order when I returned. I will certainly ask Rinn to sit with Coco again whenever needed.”
9. Gianni B.
“Gianni was very punctual and arrived right on time and left the house spotless. Most importantly she gave our old man cuddles and love and let us take a quick getaway without the worry.”
10. Tayler R.
“Tayler is wonderful! She took great care of our girls! I made a mistake with the return date and she handled it perfectly. I feel like I got the best sitters and was able to enjoy our daughter’s wedding KY knowing they were being taken care of and loved! Thanks for the pictures Tayler!”
11. Hannah G.
“Hannah was absolutely amazing!! She watched my dog and two cats for an entire week and I felt so relaxed while being on vacation (which is hard because I always miss & worry about the animals) but I knew the babies were in good hands! She gave me lots of updates & sent pictures! Will 100% be using Hannah again :)”
12. Matti K.
“Matti did a wonderful job watching our pomeranian! We knew he was in good hands after our meet & greet where he instantly bonded with her. She had great communication, sent pics, and followed the directions we left. Would definitely recommend!”
13. Jesse W.
“Left my 9 month old crazy lab with Jesse to go on a cruise. She was very communicative with me while we were gone, stayed at our house and took very good care of our Brody. I highly recommend!”
14. Melissa G.
“We had Melissa stay with our two babies which was the first time we had a non relative in home person. Both our dogs are unique with quirky personalities. Melissa quickly eased our concerns, she constantly sent us pictures, was always very responsive and it was very apparent our dogs both felt in love with her. When we got home they were happy and healthy and gave her a ton of kisses goodbye. I would 100% recommend her and we will certainly be using her again!”
15. Alexis R.
“Alexis is a very responsible and a caring animal lover and owner! I would highly recommend her services! You can feel confident your pet will be in very good hands!”
16. Rachel G.
“Rachel is a such a kind and compassionate person. She provides and excellent quality of care that goes beyond ensuring that a pets most basic needs are met. A decent pet caregiver will make sure that food, water, and potty needs are met. An outstanding pet caregiver will go above and beyond to make sure that your fur baby not just receives basic needs, but that they are also getting adequate attentions and play time. Rachel definitely fits into the outstanding pet caregiver category, I could not recommend her enough and entrust her to taking care of my Brucey boy (puppy) and Leo (grumpy old man dog). 🐾”
17. Adrienne S.
About: Former Care Technician for Southeastern Guide Dogs, I have helped look after dogs for over 25 years. Big, small and in-between, our fur babies deserve the best care. I have a very flexible schedule, so your pet's requirements are my top priority. Your pet's schedule is disrupted enough when you are gone, so I firmly believe that its best to keep them in familiar surroundings so I will come to you for all your sitting needs. Lasly, I have experience with "dangerous" breeds such as pitties and rotties and have no problem taking care of even your " biggest and baddest" babies. Please call / contact to discuss how I may help you feel comfortable when you're away. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to watch after your fur-baby/babies! I look forward to hearing from you soon! I think you being gone is already unsettling for your pup(s), so I will come to you. I aim to keep them looked after in their own environment so their stress is lessened.

19. Liv P.
“Liv is an Amazing petsitter!!! She absolutely loves animals, has rescue dogs, and has volunteered at Humane Society. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. We will continue to ask her to petsit as long as possible until we go to Texas for the winter. Only wish we could take her with us!!!”
20. Elise C.
“Elise is amazing! She came over prior to the first visit to get a feel for my pups and so I could run over information with her. She sent multiple updates and pictures of my babies while I was away. I hate leaving them but it definitely eased my worry knowing she was taking such good care of them. I’ll definitely be using her again in the near future! Highly recommend! ?”
