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!

I love that I can get away and trust Nicole with our home and little Bailey. She communicates well and goes above and beyond to make our little guy comfortable while we are out of town. She is especially great with dealing with all his senior citizen needs and notifying us of anything. I appreciate the extra kindness she provides and I always go on vacation with a sound mind that Bailey is in good hands.

We asked Bailey if she wouldn't mind to stop in, feed our pets, make sure they could go outside for a bit and had water, but not stay the night. She was very accommodating and came recommended from other friends. She came with a pad of paper and a pen to take notes on where we store our pet supplies and feeding and medicine routines.

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!

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.

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 and her house are the perfect setup to watch your dog! Her house has a friendly dog and a large and secure yard for them to play in together. Monica is also a great communicator and its extremely apparent that she loves animals and will go to great lengths to make your pet feel at home. I can't recommend her enough!

Caroline was amazing. We received wonderful twice/daily updates on our cat with pictures and written reports. He is a sensitive guy and we really felt like he was in great hands during our week away. Upon coming home he was relaxed and happy 😊 …a sign that he was very well taken care of. Thank you Caroline! We can’t wait for you to come again.

About: I have genuine love for animals and a special bond with dogs, I provide dedicated, compassionate care that feels like home- because your dog deserves the best when you can’t be there. With a passion for dogs and the flexibility of not being tied to a 9-to-5, I’m here to provide dedicated, reliable care whenever your furry friend needs it. Safety, Trust & Environment: How I Care for Pets In My Home: 1. Safety First: • My home is pet-proofed with no hazards (toxic plants, sharp objects, or accessible chemicals). • Secure outdoor spaces for safe playtime. 2. Comfortable Environment: • Pets have cozy spaces to rest, free from stress or loud disturbances. • Toys, blankets, and age-appropriate areas for relaxation or play are available. 3. Supervision and Routine: • Pets are never left unattended for long periods. • I follow the owner’s feeding, exercise, and medication schedules precisely. 4. Socialization and Love: • Gentle interaction tailored to the pet’s personality (extra cuddles for social pets, space for shy ones). • Limited number of pets to ensure attention and care. In the Client’s Home: 1. Trust and Safety: • Respect the client’s space, adhering to their rules and maintaining a secure environment for the pet. • Ensure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always in place. 2. Consistency: • Follow the pet’s usual routines to minimize anxiety or disruptions. • Use the same feeding schedules, bedding, and favorite toys to create familiarity. 3. Environment and Cleanliness: • Keep the home clean and organized, especially in areas used by the pet. • Address tasks like cleaning food bowls, litter boxes, or any messes promptly. 4. Communication and Trust Building: • Provide regular updates to the owners (photos, texts, or calls) to keep them informed and at ease. • Build trust by treating their home and pet with the utmost care and respect. Whether in my home or the client’s, my goal is to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy and secure while their owners are away. Clients Home: • Respect the client’s space, adhering to their rules and maintaining a secure environment for the pet. • Ensure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always in place. Consistency: • Follow the pet’s usual routines to minimize anxiety or disruptions. • Use the same feeding schedules, bedding, and favorite toys to create familiarity.

I won’t trust just anyone with my animals but Cameron treats my pets like his own! I have 5 rescue dogs of various ages from 1-12 years, each with their own needs. Cameron is very loving and conscientious in dealing with each of them. Additionally, I have 40 fish in a pond and a barn cat so the care needs are very diverse. My dogs love him and he sends me pictures after every visit to give me peace of mind. I encourage you to trust Cameron with your precious fur babies and other critters!

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!
