5. Masha I.
“MASHA IS INCREDIBLE! The best dog sitter in Sarasota!!! I have had many sitters and she sets the bar incredibly high. She provides excellent care, I mean EXCELLENT care. She went above and beyond caring for my pup and providing updates. She left my home in better condition than she found it. She came on very short notice and is such a pro it was the most comfortable I have ever felt while being away. I truly truly felt like she cared for him as if he was her own dog. Seriously look no further Masha is the best choice in a dog sitter.”

7. Sky S.
“I'm pretty sure Henry didn't miss me at all which is exactly what I hoped for. I couldn't have asked for a better experience in leaving my dog for the first time since I got him. Sky gave me daily updates (messages, pics and videos). Henry looked like he enjoyed every minute of the pet sit. Sky absolutely took great care of my little man. I would definitely recommend her!”
8. Victoria F.
“Victoria was amazing with our dog while we were gone. Our older dog unfortunately passes away a week before we left town and we couldn’t change our plans so we were so worried about our younger dog. Victoria gave her lots of love and attention and made sure she was kept occupied a lot so she didn’t get sad. She even brought her dogs over to play with her and brought them to our dog park. We couldn’t have been more grateful to her for taking such good care of our baby. We would recommend her 100%”
9. Katie B.
“Katie is the best! She sent videos and pictures as updates which was so helpful considering it was the first time I had ever left my dog. She provided reassurance that my dog was safe. I would highly recommend!”
10. Maliah E.
“Maliah has grown up with dogs and is an avid animal lover! She’s always had a strong love for animals of all kinds, and especially dogs. She is very responsible and will go above and beyond to make sure that her animal friends are well taken care of! She has ample experience working in a vet clinic and also multiple animal sanctuaries. Maliah has worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, she knows how to comfortably get the task done. You really couldn’t find a better candidate and advocate for animals than Maliah!”
11. Danielle T.
“Danielle was amazing! She kept me informed on how my dogs are doing and she made sure to give my elder dog her medication in the mornings and at night and sometimes during the day if she needed it. Danielle was very responsive and she kept my house, clean and tidy, definitely use her again”
12. Kelley & Dylan B.
“I had an out of town trip preplanned. Kelly and Dylan were going to house sit for me. After introductions with my dogs, everything was set. However, a dangerous storm was predicted. They were gracious enough to keep my dogs at their house on higher ground instead. After the storm, they checked on my home and checked on elderly neighbors for me. I will definitely book them again next time.”
13. Sam S.
“First time Rover user but Sam was on-time even after we asked her to come extra early, left the house clean and our dog Mowgli seems to be very happy.”
14. Julie N.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Julie as a trustworthy and loving dog walker! She’s been an incredible caregiver for my two Shih Tzus, Baxter and Waylon, who both adore her. Julie is not only reliable and punctual, but she also shows genuine affection and care for my dogs. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in safe, responsible hands with her. If you're looking for someone who treats pets like family, Julie is the best choice!”
15. Fabrice L.
“Fabrice was absolutely great for our short trip out of town! The pups loved him, he was punctual and in regular communication, and was very personable and kind. The house was better than when we left, when we returned! We look forward to using him again for future travels and would strongly recommend anyone considering his services!”
16. Quinn B.
“Quinn was an exceptional cat and house sitter who truly went above and beyond during her stay. Not only did she provide excellent communication throughout, keeping me fully informed, but she also sent numerous pictures of my cat, ensuring I felt connected and at ease. Her attention to detail was astounding; she even washed my sheets and made my bed before leaving. Quinn's dedication and care are unparalleled. I highly recommend her services to anyone.”

About: With me coming to your home your pet is able to stay in an environment they are comfortable with and they will not be stressed out. I can spend as much time as you want with your pet. I have four in my pack, they are rescues, Bassett hound, beagle/lab, pointer, and pom. I am a volunteer for the Suncoast Bassett Rescue and do their home visits here in Sarasota. I can be as flexible as needed. My work with rescuees has allowed me to work with many different breeds. There are breeds that are misunderstood, I want to make sure that our pet and I work well together. It is important that we communicate well while you are away, I look forward to meeting.
