“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”

“Teddy had a great time at Merve’s home with her puppy, Thor. Her home is ideal with a fenced area for the dogs to play. She sent pictures which showed the dogs having a great afternoon together. We will book again soon!”

“Lisa and Matt are amazing people! Their love for animals is immense and instantly obvious. They are so warm-hearted, detail oriented, loving, and communicative. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and requires a special regimen of (a lot of) medication. They set alarms to ensure his medication was administered on time, provided updates about his behavior and food/water intake, sent pictures of him, and made us feel so at ease. It is hard to find and trust quality pet sitters in general, but especially when your fur baby has special needs. We would 1000% recommend Lisa and Matt to anyone looking for quality care. Leo can’t wait to go back and spend time with their family and pets 🐾🖤 thank you Lisa and Matt!”

“Karen is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She took amazing care of my standard poodle Oreo while I was working , making sure she were happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Karen sent me regular updates and , which really put my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well taken care of. Her facility has a very relaxed atmosphere all the doggies were happy and she has a tidy and clean home. Karen also groomed Oreo and did a great job! I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much Karen!!!❤️”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.
About: I have always had a special connection to animals and had pets. I LOVE dogs and nurturing them deeper than most will go. Hands on care is my gift; cuddles, baths, walks, etc. I love to help anxious pets and older pets feel safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have tons of time everyday to care for pets or make home visits/take pets on walks. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I have one sweet girl dog that is dog friendly and loves to socialize! I also have a small child so all dogs must be kid friendly. I can crate dogs or use puppy diapers if needed.

“Charlotte (and Randy) are fantastic! We've known them as our rescue Phoebe's, doggie sitter for some time now, and have become friends. Charlotte is loving to all the dogs and Phoebe looks forward to seeing his "other family".?? We would give them 10 ? If we could!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. From my families, to my neighbors and to my friends, they have all asked me for help. I am working part time right now, and I set my own schedule. So, I can work any time, any place. Let me know what works best for you. I always try to treat the animal with the upmost respect. They are living creatures and deserve the best treatment possible. I am very friendly to them and let them build trust with me first.
About: Caring for others is what I do best! I’ve raised two incredible children and we had two sweet cats while the kids were growing up in Massachusetts. I moved to Sarasota 2 years ago and have been dearly missing having pets and family around the house. I’ve loved and cared for many friends’ dogs over the years too and would absolutely love to care for your dogs & cats! I work a very flexible schedule from home in Downtown Sarasota, so I’m always available for pickup/drop-off/walks/jogs/potty-breaks. I am an avid walker (every evening) and I always take breaks throughout the day to go outside, workout, & move around, so I’d love nothing more than a buddy to come with! I have an open layout apartment with a small balcony, and I live across the street from a lovely park. My home is very safe for pets, and I’m able to keep an eye on them at all times since the apartment is petite and I work from the center of it. I’m more than happy to accommodate any environmental requests/needs you may have, just let me know!
Harbor Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anissa has a beautiful home, a very nice backyard for Floki to run around, she pays attention to small details about caring for the dogs. We had a meet and greet prior to leaving Floki for the evening. She took Floki on a few walks. I strongly recommend Anissa if you need a dog sitter. If I am back in town, I will definitely be using her again if she is available.!! Thank You :)! Andrew
