“Kim was amazing!! We have two big dogs and she did so well with them and making them comfortable while we were gone. Great communicator, super reliable, amazing dog friend, 12/10 would book again!”

“Recently traveled out of state, and had to scramble to find a sitter for my dog and cat. Having never used a service like Rover I rightfully skeptical. I am so happy I connected with Devynn, from the first moment I met her I felt at ease about the decision, and I could tell my dog Peggy, cat Stella felt the same. Devynn kept me posted with photos the whole time and was super communicative, it was very apparent she looked after them like they were her own! Thank you again Devynn 😊”

“We greatly appreciate the loving care Katie provided for our puppy recently - while we were out for the day. She is a delightful person and our boy responded to her very positively from the minute she arrived. I will definitely contact her again.”

“Susan is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our boys and truly knows their personalities. We love how she sends daily updates and photos. It gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

“Cher was wonderful with our Zoey. Zoey is my ESA and sometimes has seperation anexity. She was so patient and understanding. Even gave me a music playlist to help Zoey. If you want someone to trust with your fur babies it would be her. Highly recommended.”

“Monica is lovely and responsible. My dog took to her instantly and that was the most important part of this. She kept in touch with text and photos and left my house in lovely condition. And mostly she was just great with my dog.”

“Extremely grateful for Carolina. Worked around my schedule last minute to watch my dog in my house for a week. Dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. Added bonus of also being very communicative. Highly recommend”

“Libah was incredible with our 2 golden doodles! I have always been anxious leaving my babies when we go out of town but I didn't feel that way at all with Libah. She sent me regular updates and pictures and took care of them like they were her babies. Finding a sitter we trust has been so difficult and we are so relieved to have found Libah!! Would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”

About: I grew up in a household with eight cats and four dogs, my parents were big into animals. I had my own bulldog for a number of years (she passed away recently) and currently have two cats of my own. I’ve picked up more dog poop and cleaned out more cat litters than I can count over the years.. I work entirely from remote, so my availability is always open to housesit or pet sit. I can be gone weeks at a time without it being a real burden. My cats have an automatic feeder and automatic litter cleaner so I don’t have to worry about them when I go away. I also have two roommates so they help take care of them when I’m out so they don’t get lonely. I walk, clean up after, feed, groom, even bathe, client’s animals. And I have it pretty easy with my current cats, they have an automatic feeder and a litter box that cleans itself automatically. So they’re pretty easy-going.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every dog. I don't just watch the dogs - I connect with them. I take time to understand their personalities, routines and needs to fill safe, relaxed and loved while you are away. Because I work from home, caring for dogs fits naturally into my day. I am able to provide lots of walks, outdoor time play and companionship throughout the day. Its a joy to have pet time as part of my daily routine. Your dogs safety and comfort is my number one priority whether it is in your home or mine. I pay attention to all the details you provide me regarding your pets personality and needs.
“The moment Mary walked into the yard both of my dogs sat at her feet in total comfort ( they can be picky). She is a total delight to get to know and to work with and to take care of your fur babies. She’s very responsible, communicative, conscientious. I will ask her to pet sit again and again. I highly recommend Mary as a dependable pet sitter.”

“Genie did a great job taking care of Susa. She very kindly arrived earlier when we realized the concert started earlier then we had thought. We recommend Genie and will use her help again!”

About: Hi, I'm Miranda, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience in pet care, including in-home sitting and drop in visits for cats and dogs and even the occasional exotic fish or bird. Based in North Port, Venice and Sarasota areas. I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar environment—free from the stress of kennels or boarding facilities. That's why I specialize in personalized, overnight in-home pet sitting, ensuring your furry family member gets the love, exercise, and routine they crave while you're away. I've fostered many rescues in my home. I have skills in everything from oral medication administration to basic behavioral training. Whether it's daily walks in the neighborhood, playtime with toys, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, I tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected! Past clients rave about my reliability and the peace of mind I bring. When I'm not watching fur babies, you'll find me at the beach, hanging out with my 2 rescue pups or adventuring. Ready to book a meet-and-greet? Message me! Let's keep your pet happy, healthy, and home—where they belong! 🐾 Looking for a reliable sitter in Gulf Gate? I work locally Mon–Thu and can easily swing by for drop-ins before, during, or after my workday. I’m also happy to stay at your place! I’ll be out of your house during the day for work, but I make it a priority to come home at lunch to check on your fur babies and make sure they’re doing great. I’ve been a dedicated animal lover and sitter for over two decades! My journey began on a Colorado ranch where I looked after everything from pups to poultry (and the occasional iguana). Since then, I’ve spent years fostering dogs and building a loyal base of repeat clients who trust me with their homes and 'fur babies.' You can count on me to provide the same love and care I give my own pets, while always leaving your home exactly as I found it—clean and tidy
“Grace is the best sitter we have found through Rover, hands down. We have two high energy pups with some specific needs and to add to it, one of them was had an upset belly for a few days while we were away. Grace took it all in stride, was very communicative, and made us very comfortable throughout her entire stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - we’re already sad she’s not in the area for the long haul!”


“Megan is a lifesaver! We have never left our puppy before and wanted to travel for our daughter’s graduation in NYC. We never had to worry for a minute. So grateful she stayed at our home with both dogs. We highly recommend Megan to home sit.”

“This was my first time leaving my new dog and I had the pleasure of having Beckett take care of my three month old puppy while I was out of town this past week. As a puppy, my dog definitely needed more attention and care as he is still getting house broken and I was really looking for someone who would be comfortable and happy attending to those extra needs. Beckett was just the person for the job and I could not have been happier with the whole experience. He is incredibly responsible, super easy to communicate with (he continuously kept me updated on how my pup was doing), was also very accommodating with my schedule and definitely has a way with dogs. I am so glad that I hired Beckett for this job and will definitely be hiring him again in the future!”

Gulf Gate Estates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nick stayed in our house to watch our mini dachshund while we were away for 5 days. This was the first time we had left her like this and with a stranger so we were nervous. Nick was a great communicator, sent tons of photos, and followed directions well. We came home to a happy pup!

We are so grateful to have found Stephanie. Our sweet poodle Justice came home the day before from surgery and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger. However Stephanie's calm presence and obviously love for animals came through and Justice was very open to her. Stephanie communicated with us while we were away as well as shared photos. I look forward to having Stephanie come again or Justice going to her home.

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!

First time using Michael for our 2 dogs and it was a 2 night assignment. He was fantastic! Dogs loved him, we loved pix and videos he sent. Michael was all about the dogs and making sure they were active and always safe at the park. Definitely will be using Michael again! Thank you!! C and Y!

Isabella did a great job looking after Lincoln(dog) and Oliver(cat) while we were away. They were well taken care of and she gave them a lot of attention. She sent lots of photos to reassure that they were doing just fine! My family and I are looking to have her take care of Lincoln and Oliver again really soon! Thank you Isabella! (:

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Danielle stayed overnight with our girl and was absolutely wonderful! Communication was great throughout the trip. I got regular updates and never had to worry. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and taking out the garbage for us. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Juju was home and in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
