1. Kimberly Q.

“Kimberly was amazing, she went above and beyond! My pups are happy and she took care of them during the holidays, I’m so glad that I found her. She also sent me pictures of my pets every day, and that made me feel in peace and I could enjoyed my vacations! Thank you Kim so much!!”


2. Juliette G.

“Juliette was fantastic with our three fur children for a long house sitting stay! She had great communication, sent us photos and videos, and took exceptional care of them. She will be our new go to sitter!”




3. Jamie F.


“This was our first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jamie is very kind hearted and our two fur babies enjoyed their time with her. One of our pups usually does not immediately take to people and she went right over to Jamie and visited with her a couple of times during our meet and greet prior to hiring Jamie. Jamie was fine with the instructions we left for feeding, walking, and how to make our fur family feel less stressed by keeping their routine. We already have Jamie scheduled for two more trips we have coming up. Thanks for your help Jamie. ☺️”




4. Dodie S.


“There's a reason Dodie has a 5-star rating! She stayed in our home and cared for our 3 senior dogs, all of whom have medical issues and require medications and our 2 cats. She sent photos and updates almost daily, and the communication prior to her sitting was awesome. Our "zoo" is a handful and she was great with them.”


5. Ruth S.

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”


6. Claire S.

“Claire did a great job watching our toy poodle. While we were on vacation she sent us daily updates including cute pics of Chance! Thanks Claire for making our first experience with Rover a good one!!”


7. Hanna V.

“Hannah was great. Very attentive and communicative while I was away, keeping me up to date on my pups and their time with her. And my house was even cleaner when I got home than when I left.”


8. Abby S.

“Abby was great! She took care of Bella wonderfully and gave me regular updates! Very thankful!”


9. Tamara H.
“I work for a non-profit dog rescue and have had the pleasure of working with Tamara as a volunteer and foster for our rescue for the past two years. She's a dedicated foster, always willing to help walk dogs who are at the shelter, and is amazing with all the dogs she works with. She is kind to the staff, other volunteers, and animals she works with. She does well with dogs with all temperaments, sizes, and backgrounds. She shows each dog patience and kindness with interactions and has experience with dogs of all kinds. I highly recommend Tamara as a dog walker, sitter, and care taker for anyone who needs some help with their pets!”


10. Cher S.

“Fantastic help with a last minute travel need and my puppies are too small to board as they await vaccines. She sent me tons of pictures and videos and put my mind at ease. I will definitely book again.”


11. Sarah N.

“Sarah was wonderful taking care of our elderly dog. We came back to clean home and a happy dog. We would recommend her without reservation.”


12. 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!”


13. 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”


14. Ravyn R.

“Rayvn is just the absolute best! My husband and I felt so relaxed on our trip knowing Ravyn was taking care of our pup. At our meet and greet she took the time to listen to ALL my insanely detailed notes and instructions without judgment lol. She stayed in our home while we were away and she was so polite, responsible, and respectful. She took such great care of our dog Murphy. We returned to an happy well cared for dog. We will definitely be using her again in the near future!”


15. Donna F.

“Donna was the best find on Rover! We interviewed a few people and just didn’t feel comfortable until we found her. She showed up when she said, our pups loved her, and we are so thankful for her. 😊”


16. Erin F.


“Erin took great care of our dog and cat! I received lots of updates and photos throughout the stay, and they were both happy when we got home. The house was also spotless when we arrived. We will definitely use Erin’s services again in the future!”


17. SANDRA R.

“Sandra is THE BEST! This was our first time using Rover and leaving the pups with someone who wasn’t my mom or sister. I was terrified. We met Sandra and the worries went completely away! The dogs instantly loved her. They miss her already. Sandra is the best and an incredible dog person. My larger dog is a rescue with quirks and Sandra was amazing at handling them. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Sandra is officially our go-to dog sitter!”


18. Aimee M.
“If you're looking for quality service from a pet sitter, look no further than Aimee! Aimee is a woman of integrity, is honest and sincere. She is passionate about all animals, as well as the environment. I was so blessed to have crossed paths with Aimee, who became my trusted pet sitter. My dogs Pindi and Oscar absolutely adored her. She also adminstered their medications as per my instructions. Her love, care and compassion for my fur babies gave me peace of mind when I had to leave them, knowing they were safe, loved and cared for. Aimee also take great care of my home and ensured my plants, both in and out foors were watered. (She was born with green fingers). 🙂 Book her! She's fabulous 👌”

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.
