About: I’ve taken care of neighbors/friends dogs and senior dogs, which also includes time to ease owners worries. My goal is to provide home care away. I currently lost my job of 21 years and have always wanted to work, take care of animals. No children & lots of love to provide I have a large, fenced in yard. My dog loves to play with other dogs & my cat watches oh so closely. They love it.

About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.

“Adela took our Bernese mountain dog for a walk last minute when our flight plans changed and we were in a pinch. She gave Calvin lots of cuddles and a good walk!”

About: I’ve had all types of dogs since I was a kid. My first dog was a Bichon Frize. My second dog was a rescue the turned out to be a Catahoula (who was such a good girl and was very protective of my kids). My third dog was a GSD. She was also a rescue and she had a litter of pups and I helped her with her labor. I raised 2 of them. I made sure that ALL of my dogs were not just walked and cared for, but socialized them with other dogs and made sure they got enough exercise daily. I have a part time job M-W 3-8:30 and Fri 3– 8:30. I’m off Thursday and the weekends. I’m available for sitting over weekends whether at your home for the whole weekend or just letting them out and feeding them. I’m flexible if need more time with advance notice. I would need to care for your fur babies at your home because I don’t have the space to care for them at my home. I do take care of my brother’s dogs on occasion. When they’re gone for the day or when they leave on vacation. I have taken in my neighbor’s dog for a week in the past while they were on vacation (when I lived in a place where it was convenient).

About: I'm a proactive person, providing your dog with quality time. Puppy training experience, clean and organized. I have rescued and found home around 27 dogs and cats. I work from home so is easier for me to management my schedule. I don't take pet sitting as a job since is something that I love to do. I take care of every animals the way that I take care of mine, they are innocent little baby’s that we have to protect .

About: I have experience working with elderly and sick dogs so I am used to administering medicine. I had two dogs before I moved out of my parents a teacup chihuahua and a mutt named buddy. Felipe is 13 and buddy is 6. I have experience working at a dog shelter in San Diego California when I was 13-14. I am open to all breeds and all sizes. Both of my dogs were from the spca so I’m used to untrained pups. I will treat your dog like they are my own. Trips to the dog park regularly if boarding and regular walks and attention. I am a piercer at a tattoo shop and my partner is a tattoo artist, we have revolving schedules. Usually the pup would only be left alone 1-2 hours at a time, when i go to work and he comes home right after i leave. We are both animal lovers so being on rover is a nice way from preventing us from getting our own dog. I do stay in apartment but we make sure to go on regular walks around the neighborhood. There is a small fenced in area i like to take them too as well.

About: I raised 3 daughters and they turned out OK! Your pets will be fine! I’m a retired snowbird living part of the year in Bradenton! Retired school counselor actually, so no pet can be as challenging as my students! As for pet experience, I’ve had 2 golden retrievers and bred them to for a total of 25 puppies. Add to that lots of cats, 3 horses and a goldfish or two, but now have an empty nest! Let me get my fix on your fur baby and know you’ll have piece of mind knowing they will be loved and cared for! I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs so I am ready to meet you and your fur baby! Ready-set-go! Woof! I work very part time so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am willing to travel to your location to provide care for your pet. I prefer to take care of your pets in your home or neighborhood. My winter home is currently in an RV park that restricts animals.

“Thank you, Chris! Chris was professional, on time, friendly and even took the chuck-it out for my babies as requested! My dogs were definitely tired when they came back from their play/walk and we will definitely be calling him again!”

“Alexa is an awesome walker. She’s willing to come at a moment’s notice, and is always happy to drop by for a walk. She likes to play with my pup a bit afterwards too, to fully wear her out while I’m at work. She is my trusted go-to walker.”

About: I am an animal lover with 20+ 5-star ratings on Trustedhousesitter. I have experience caring for rescue pets, large and small pets, administering medications, including injecting medicine, and pets with severe anxiety. I have completed short term and long term (1 month+) pet-sits. My TrustedHousesitters profile, which has my 5-star reviews, is available upon request since Rover doesn’t allow me to post the link. I have added some of the reviews in the Photos section of my Rover profile. In addition to being a great pet sitter I’m also a highly qualified house sitter. Cleanliness is important to me and I always leave the home clean. I have built water infrastructure systems in other countries and resolved multiple issues while I was pet/house sitting so I'm confident in my ability to fix anything in a house. For example, I've resolved issues such as power outages, water heater stopped working, shower drainage issues, fixing a lawn mower, and replacing an oven. I work remotely and I have a flexible schedule so I can be at home with your pets as much as they need it. I can work around the schedule of your pet(s). I have completed 20 pet-sits where I care for the animal in their home. I have a smoke free home and there are no kids nor other pets in the home.

“So fortunate to have found Erica! She is clearly a dog lover and we knew our Lila was in good hands the minute we met her. If the need arises we'll reach Erica's way without hesitation.”

About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.

About: I have a natural understanding for animals! I have my whole life. This is the first time in a long time I have been without a pet. My wife and I currently co host airbnb properties which allows us to have a flexible schedule within reason. I also drive uber and lyft which brings me all over Sarasota. We treat everyone's pet and home as if it were our own. Your pet will become part of our family and feel loved just as if you never left.

About: Hello! My name is Bernadette. I am a 23 year old college student. Growing up, (even though my parents didn't appreciate it) I was the girl who would always bring home strays. I would either some how persuade my parents to keep the dog I found or would help place the dog into a nice loving home. Ever since I could remember, my family would have several dogs at a time... So now caring for them is second nature. When I first started attending college I would always find myself puppysitting/dogsitting for several of my friends whenever they went out of town for few days. Then, when I heard about this app, I thought what better way to utilize and expand on my care for animals! To me dogs aren't just pets, they are family. I am a fellow dog lover and would love to take care of your fur babies. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to inquire further. Thank you and I look forward to taking care of your best friend!

“Beatrix is absolutely amazing. She is not only dependable, but loves Gypsy as if she were her own. We cannot say enough great things about Beatrix. Gypsy loves her and so do we.”

About: Welcome fur, fluff, and fin parents! I’m a premium in-home pet care provider with 18 years of hands-on experience keeping pets happy, safe, and spoiled in the comfort of their own homes. I treat every animal like family—learning their routines, quirks, and favorite belly-rub spots—so owners can travel with total peace of mind. Reliable, intuitive, and a little obsessed with doing things right, I don’t just care for pets… I earn their trust (and usually their hearts). 🐾 I have open availability for all levels of care. From same day walks, to an extended vacation I hope to help make this an easy part of your vacation planning When your pet is a guest in my home it is open to them as their own, it is not a kennel, your pets are not crated unless requested or at meals or at bed time. They have access to half an acre of fenced yard to play and roam, with dog door access. I invite your pet to snuggle up on the couch or find an empty lap that will surely give lots of love. I have open availability for boarding, house sitting, as well as drop in visits. If you are looking for it, I can probably make it work!
