“Devynn did an amazing job watching Darcy! I was so happy she was available again to take care of Darcy. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Darcy was so loved while I was away. I got so many cute pictures and updates! She also was very mindful of my home and left everything spotless. Thank you for doing such a great job watching her!”

“Erin has been fantastic with our 2YO Lab. She cares a lot, she personalizes her service in every possible way to adapt to your family's needs. Our dog learnt new things and she received lots of cuddles. We trust her and we will hire her again of course !”

“Christina was amazing!!! She sent pictures every day and let me know when something was wrong with my dog! She made us feel very comfortable on our wedding weekend. We will definitely be requesting her again!! :)”

“Stefania, was great. She provided us with many pictures and daily communications. Our furbabies were well cared for, she took the dogs outside several times a day, which is something they definitely love. Our house was well cared for.”


“Tracy was wonderful with our dog and cat. Our dog is blind and anxious and she administered all his medications and helped him feel at ease. She took wonderful care of our home and even left it cleaner than when we left!”

“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%”


“Cassidy was a thoughtful and prepared sitter. She provided an update about our pup every morning and was quick to change plan to adjust to our pup’s needs. She utilized the resources we had at the house to ensure our pup was getting enough stimulation outside of walks. Cassidy was thoughtful in ensuring both household and pet needs were met while we were away. We would love to have Cassidy back.”

“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.”

“Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.”

“Daelia was extremely friendly and accommodating as it was a last minute booking. She spent a great deal of time with Liberty and we couldn’t have been happier! Would highly recommend and we will use her again!”


About: I grew up on a farm and was always taking care of animals from a young age, whether they were my pets or the animals on the farm. I’m a Stage Manager for a local theater company so I usually work in the evening’s which means I can spend the morning and afternoon taking care of your pets. I can be available to take care of your pets at a moment’s notice. I unfortunately don’t have any pets right now but am more than willing to help accommodate your pets.
“Adela was great with my 167 lb dog and 6 lb cat. She sent plenty of pictures/updates and I got the feeling that she cared for my animals exactly as I would. She is obviously an animal lover! Because my dog is so large, I knew it would take a special person to walk him. Not only did I feel like she had the animal skill level to watch over my big boy, she took very detailed interest in the particulars of his feeding schedule. I am so happy to have found her because I feel like I have a great back up should I have to travel or be away for longer during the day than I want my animals to be alone.i highly recommend Adela!”

“Nicole was a fantastic find. We rescued Ellie Mae 3 weeks ago, but had a planned family vacation and no one to leave her with. We decided it would be best for Ellie Mae to leave her in the home she was becoming accustomed to and have someone stay here. We had a meet and greet with Nicole and were immediately impressed with her. She sent texts with pictures and stayed in touch the entire time we were gone. Just a few of the things she did that we didn’t ask for or expect was clean the house, run the dishwasher, wash towels and water the plants. We could not be more pleased with her and highly recommend Nicole.”
About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work has helped heal a variety of physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. I do much of my work remotely, on sits, which the animals I care for love. They often curl up right next to me. Please note that while I love and do energy work with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I work remotely as an energy healer and writer and find it best for the animals if I stay at the homes as opposed to doing drop-ins. Due to the nature of my work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.
“Sara was wonderful with our dog Seve. Seve loved Sara from the moment he met her. She is very prompt, professional and responsible. We look forward to having Sara watch Seve in the near future.”

About: I've grown up with dogs for my entire life & have experience with the puppy stage to senior dogs. I will make sure to follow any routine your dog may have & love them like they're my own. I'm already living my life with my own dogs, what's a few more? I currently work in Sarasota M-F and have a pretty flexible schedule when I need it to be; otherwise, I normally work the standard 8-5. I live with two other people and with our schedules, someone will be home 24/7 regardless if I am at work for a few hours. Since my backyard is not fenced in, I will always take your dog out for potty breaks on a leash. We have a two story home with plenty of room to roam and lounge around. I can accommodate to have any bedding/crate/supplies your pet may have to make them feel at home! I do well with following routines. My dogs get fed twice a day (morning & evening) and have a strict food schedule they don't let me stray from!
John Ringling pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Christine is the best! Professional & took exceptional care of our dog & cat this weekend!!! She left our house in immaculate condition. And our fur babies are happy & healthy!! We will definitely ask her to stay with our pets again! Highly recommend Christine!
