“Jackie is prompt, incredibly kind, and shows so much natural love to our little border collie Rusty. You can tell she deeply loves animals! Rusty absolutely loved to play, walk and give dog hugs! We also appreciated Jackie making time for us on short notice. We’ll definitely work with Jackie again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all sizes and ages. I can handle any need that your fur baby will have. Excited to help! I work until 2:15 during the week Monday through Friday so my services will be limited to the afternoon, however, I’m available all day on weekends. At my home, I have a backyard that can be closed off for most dogs (except the most skilled escape artists). I also own an incredibly friendly golden doodle named Lucy who is 2 years old.

About: Hello 👋 My daughter and I love caring for other fur babies and loving them as if they are our own. We know how important it is to your pets to give them the proper attention and play they deserve. I’ve grown up with rabbits, cats, and dogs. My first job in 5th grade was walking “Mike” the dog daily and I’ve continued to care for other pets over the years. I work throughout the week with flexibility to walk pups in the morning and evening. Weekends completely off to go on adventures with your fur baby. We love traveling to parks, dog beaches, and even for pup cups! I have a fenced in yard with artificial grass that dogs love to spend time sun bathing. A doggy pool so they can cool down in the Summer’s heat. A large dog park minutes away by foot so your loved one can socialize and run around with other dogs as well. If they choose not to do a dog park then plenty of space to be walked around the neighborhood taking in fresh scents.

About: My husband, Trevor, and I both grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, fish, and he even had several birds! Over our years together we have loved three dogs, a bearded dragon, and a turtle. We have also been relied on, and trust by, many friends and family members to take care of their pets while at work or away. We have an especially soft spot for dogs and are taking our unbeatable belly rubs full-time with drop-in care and walking for small to medium (up to 40lbs) dogs. Larger dogs will be considered if they are a companion to a smaller dog. I also provide drop-in cat and other pet care upon request. Pet care is my (Morgan) full-time job, so your pet will receive my full time and attention during each play-date or walk. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Additionally, I am available all day on most weekends. Please reach out with your pet’s needs - I can’t wait to meet them! Tail waggin walks, play, and cozy cuddles await! Pet care is my full-time job, so you can rest assured your pup will be well supervised and cared for throughout the play-date. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Go on - schedule that tail waggin walk or play-date! When you book a walk or play-date with me - you and your pet become family. You can expect the same level of care and respect as we give to our baby boys. Barker, our chunky frenchie, and Gus, our hilarious little chorkie, receive daily walks and playtime at the dog park and yard (weather accommodating). When the rain or heat keeps us in, Barker loves to chase a ball or play tug of war, while Gus enjoys scratches and a cozy nap! Whatever your pet’s speed - I am here to accommodate and ensure they receive the highest level of care, always.

About: As the daughter of veterinarian I've spent my entire life growing up with animals. I have also spent a few summers working at a kennel with many different dogs and cats. I work as a dietitian but am currently in between jobs and have a flexible schedule. I am available to take your pups for a walk or come watch your cats most days of the week. I am open to boarding cats in my home. I unfortunately cannot board any pups in my home but would be happy to house sit and watch your animals and get them out for a walk while you're away/ working.

About: My home is located in south venice with a secure fenced in yard. I adopted a little girl Ellie who is 6 yrs old and a mix of datsun/?. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too. I pet sit for my neighbors and they are the ones who suggested I offer my services out. They will be my best references. I cared for fish, hamsters, bunny's and even pet chickens. Luv them all. Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓

About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

“We did a last minute day trip to Disney. We needed a caring person to let out 9 year old Rhodesian Hala. She can be a challenge with her anxiety. Christal was available and came to our home twice during the day to care for our dog. She went above and beyond and took the time to give Hala quality time.”

About: I have 2 dogs one older and a 1yr old puppy. My puppy is very active and loves to go on walks and trips to parks. The older one just wants to lay around and cuddle. My weekly routine consists of taking care of my dogs and i’m currently looking for a job. I’m available most of the day to play with the dogs. I love going on walks with the dog or if the yard is fenced in i’ll play with the dog and give it treats and water!

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been a trusted and loyal pet sitter for neighbors, roommates, and friends for over 15 years. I work part-time from home and have the time to give your pet all the love and attention they need. My hours are very flexible. I love taking your pets on long walks several times a day. I’m very responsible and caring and will treat your pet as if it were mine.

“We were stuck away and so fortunate that Heidi was available to come in and walk our pups! She was on time and communicated with me to make sure she earned their trust and had a good walk. We will absolutely have Heidi visit again! Highly recommended ?”

About: Hi! My name is Hailey, I’m 21 years old and currently in nursing school. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a huge love for them. I currently have four cats and a Golden Retriever of my own, including a blind cat, so I also have personal experience caring for an animal with special needs and understanding the extra patience, attention, and consistency they may require. I also have experience watching and caring for my sister’s dog, along with taking care of my own pets every day. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and loving looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, companionship, and making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I also have reliable transportation and my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home for drop-in visits, walks, or other pet-care needs. I’m responsible, caring, and excited to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly schedule. I am currently in nursing school and am available after 3:00 PM on weekdays once I get out of class. My weekends are open, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also have my own reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel to clients and make sure their pets receive consistent and dependable care. In a client’s home, I would follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that may need extra patience, since I have a blind cat of my own. I would make sure to follow any specific instructions the owner leaves and keep their home and pet’s space clean and secure while they are away.

“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!”

About: hey! 🐾 My name is Hannah and I’m 26 years old. I am an animal lover with a background in psychology and animal behavior. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician for kiddos with behavioral needs in Sarasota County Schools and often volunteer as a dog walker at Suncoast Humane Society! I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, shy pups who need a little extra patience, or sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and enjoy providing walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart thanks to my soul dog, Sparkie, who passed away in 2024 at 16 years old. ❤️ Caring for him through his senior years gave me personal experience supporting dogs with arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. I’m happy to provide that same patience and thoughtful care to any dog who needs a little extra attention! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with love, respect their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is in caring, attentive hands! **Availability 🗓️** I’m fully available on weekends and available for weekday walks Monday–Friday after 4 PM. Have a special request or need a different time? Feel free to message me! I’m happy to discuss exceptions and find a time that works for you and your pup. 🐶❤️ I am entirely free on Saturday and Sunday. M-F I am available after 4 pm. This is subject to change, please message with requests. From personal experience, I can empathize that leaving our furry friends can be an intimidating experience. However, I will do everything in my power to give your pet the same love, attention, and care that you would. I will actively communicate with you and ensure that my quality of care is nothing short of exceptional.

About: I’m a certified Veterinary Technician with hands-on clinical experience, which sets me apart from most sitters who don’t have a medical background. I can recognize early signs of illness, injury, or distress that an untrained eye might miss — and I know how to respond calmly if something comes up. Specific skills I bring: • Medication administration — comfortable with oral and topical meds, including multi-pet or complex schedules • Senior pet care — experienced with mobility issues, medication timing, and the extra patience older pets need • Puppy care — house training reinforcement, socialization, and safe exercise for growing joints • Anxious or special-needs pets — calm, patient handling for pets who need extra reassurance • Health monitoring — tracking eating, energy, and bathroom habits so you get an accurate picture, not just “they’re fine Pet care is a consistent, reliable part of my week, not something squeezed in around other plans. Monday through Thursday, I’m available after 4:30 PM through 7 AM the next morning — perfect for evening walks, overnight stays, or early morning visits before your day starts. Friday through Sunday, I’m open all day and night, so weekend trips, full-day pet sitting, and last-minute weekend bookings are easy to accommodate. This schedule means your pet gets steady, dependable care on a routine they can count on — whether it’s a weekday evening walk after work or a full weekend of overnight sitting. Overnight & House Sitting I stay in your home so your pet keeps their normal routine, environment, and comfort — no stressful car rides or unfamiliar spaces. I follow their existing feeding, walk, and medication schedule exactly as you’d do it, and I spend real time with them (not just quick check-ins) so they get companionship, not just care. I also keep an eye on the house — bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and making sure everything’s secure while you’re away. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I arrive on schedule and give your pet my full attention for the visit — fresh food and water, a walk or bathroom break, and playtime or affection depending on their energy level. For pets on medication, I handle that at the right time with the right dose. I always do a quick health/behavior check while I’m there, since my vet tech background means I notice things like changes in appetite, energy, or mobility. Every visit, regardless of service • Daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how things are going • Care that matches their routine, not a one-size-fits-all approach • Attentiveness to health and behavior, not just supervision I don’t currently offer boarding in my own home — all my services take place at your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar space.

About: I grew up in a farm surrounded by animals, specially dogs. Our family consisted of my mom, dad, brother and at least 5 dogs at all times. Im currently a Medical Assistant. When I’m not taking care of my patients I like to take care of animals, as it brings me joy to do so. I will provide all the possible attention and love to all the pups! My goal is to make them feel like home and comfortable all the time.

“Great communication and Maggie was a happy and safe pup when I got home 😃 couldn't ask for a better experience being my first time using rover 😃”
