“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”
“Cannot convey the level of gratitude we have for having Libah stay at our home with our 2 pups. They are definitely not the easiest so her confidence and communications allowed us to enjoy our journey with out concern. They were excited to see us but were so content when we returned. I cannot say thank you enough to the level or professionalism, honesty and trust we had. THANKS Libah!!!!”
“We had a last minute need for a sitter and our usual sitter was not available. I am always nervous about using a new sitter, but Jill’s profile seemed like she could be a good fit. She came for a meet and greet that day, and after meeting her in person I felt comfortable with her sitting for us. Jill spent the weekend with our dog and did a great job. She followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our dog was safe, fed, and well cared for while we were gone. We received photo updates and she was quick to respond to our texts. Our house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. She’s a trustworthy, calm, and responsible person who I don’t hesitate to recommend. We will book with Jill again!”
About: I have had dogs for 11 years and have been volunteering weekly at my local humane society since March of 2025. My chihuahua is a senior and my other dog I have had since she was a puppy so I understand the difference of care dogs require at all stages of life. I'm currently working part time and in college full time so I am free on weekends to hang out with your adorable doggies! I am working on revamping my schedule so I can eventually be free during the week for your pets. We will be having lots of snuggle time and playtime in your home. If just relaxing inside, we may watch Bluey together. I will be taking pictures of your pets to later send to you of the fun we are having. I treat all dogs as if they were my child so they will be loved and cared for while you are gone.
About: I have provided pet care services to dogs and cats of all ages and needs. From walking the neighbors dogs to watching their cats at night, I am ready for whatever care your animal needs. I am also equipped from the personal care of the dogs and cats my family and I rescued from baby to senior. I can’t wait to meet your pets and make them feel at home! I generally work 9-6 weekdays but my schedule fluctuates week to week and is flexible on weekends. I am happy to provide care before and after my work day. Let’s find a time! I will provide a safe environment in the home for the pets maintaining whatever feeding and bathroom schedule they are on. I love playing with animals and just keeping them company :).
“Vanessa stayed with Zoey, my Maltipoo for 3 nights. She sent me photos and did a great job. She also left my home 🏡 clean and neat as it was when she arrived. I recommend her if you want “Housesitting” for your pet.”
“We needed a last-minute sitter for our two dogs in our home and Sam was able to help us out! Good communication throughout her stay and we received some pictures and updates. No issues at all!!! I will definitely use Sam again!!!”

“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.”
“Erin's stay with our girls was above our expectations. Why? It was the little things! She asked very good questions and offered a meet and great. She communicated throughout the stay, sharing a summary of their day along with pictures. She made sure to keep their schedule and the entire time playied and engaged with them. She treated our home as if it was her own. Laundry and dishes were done when we arrived. Thank you! We highly recommend Erin!”
“Will definitely work with Sky again! She house sat for us and took excellent care of our 3 dogs and cat, as well as the house. Our pets were very well taken care of received plenty of love. She sent photos multiple times per day, and also cleaned and tidied up the house. Great experience overall.”
“Laura is the professional sitter you’ve been hoping to find, but weren’t sure even exists. She is a hospitality pro, a compassionate animal lover, and a high quality person with integrity. Instead of feeling bad about leaving our dog behind when we travel, we can now enjoy our time away knowing that our dog is having a staycation of her own. Not only is she well looked after in Laura’s care, she is also being spoiled with lots of playtime, affection, and regular walks. Laura is reliable, responsive, trustworthy, and left our home in better condition than when she arrived. It’s spotless, the used guests linens are clean and folded, and she even did extra tasks around our home during her stay. She is an exceptional person to have stay in your home and take care of your pets. We recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I've grown up around animals since I was a baby. I started taking care of animals around age nine, so I definitely know a thing or two. There have been weeks/months when my family was out of town, so I took care of them during that period. I always have a blast taking care of animals, so much so that I seriously considered going to veterinary school. I fully take care of my cat, Marshella, and have been doing so for a while now. So I always scoop her litter, feed her, and, of course, play with her every day. I also provide her with some outdoor time. In my home, I will offer everything I offer to my cat, Marshella, including a litterbox, food, a filtered water fountain, playtime, and outdoor time, if requested by the owner, of course, along with anything else the owner requests.
About: We always had 2 dogs, my responsibility.As an adult I have had rescues and purebreds. I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and a dog makes it a learning experience. Fully retired. Snowbirds here through April 1. Have come to Sarasota last 13 years. Took the leap to be here Oct through April. We have a new puppy a Westie named Wallace who loves it here. I would provide walking services only since we are in an apartment downtown. Would prefer to work downtown area. There are so many parks and great locations to walk.
About: I’ve had cats growing up and have pet sat big doggies, kitties, bunnies, chickens, and more! I’m so excited to show your fur babies some love! I am currently working as an acting apprentice at Florida Studio Theatre. My schedule changes week to week so I can have flexibility in times! I’m happy to take care of whatever your animal’s needs are. I’m happy to give them water, food, pets, or whatever else they are needing.
“Seth is fabulous! He took great care of our animals and showed compassion for each of them. He communicated well each day we were gone which gave us peace of mind. He also took the dogs for walks which they enjoy immensely. I recommend Seth highly!”
“Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!”
“Michaela took great care of my babies while I was away for the weekend! I had to tell her the day she was arriving that one of my dogs needed meds as a result of an appt that morning and she happily administered her meds! She sent photos and updates and I never worried about their care while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michaela for future services.”
Glen Oaks Estates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Meara was very responsible and asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to ensure she had all info needed to best care for my little monster. She sent frequent pics and updates while I was away and I could tell he had a wonderful time. He cuddled right into her so quickly
There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.
My wife and I would highly recommend Ashlee. Sophie, our cocker spaniel, seem to be in great health and appeared to enjoy being around Ashley. She was prompt and sent photos of Sophie to us every day. Additionally, before we got home, she had washed her bed linens and they were fresh and clean in our dryer. The house was spotless when we got back as well. Once again, we would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future.
Our dog LOVED Christine and I don’t think he wanted her to leave at the end of her stay! She is an enthusiastic, energetic, and very responsible dog sitter who listened carefully to information about our pup. Christine also left our house spotless. Highly recommend!
Michaela took awesome care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She stayed at our home and everything looked great and pups were fine when we returned. She was able to come over and meet our dogs and do a quick walkthrough before booking which made us feel more comfortable. We will definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks Michaela!
Alexis was reliable and even met us before we left to go over directions in person. She was as fkexible as could be when our flights changed. She sent updates throughout to let us know our puppies were doing good. We are happy we found a trustworthy sitter for our babies. Thank you Alexis 😊
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!
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
