1. Kimberly Q.
“Kimberly took care of our dogs while we were visiting Sarasota to attend a family event. Everything went extremely well. Kimberly’s communication with us was great, she arrived exactly at the time promised, kept us updated with photos, and took great care of the dogs. We were impressed with her services.”
2. Kyanna M.
“Kyanna is a responsible pet owner, she really tries to make sure they get what they need. Not only that she has a lot experience with dogs since she’s loved them from childhood. I have a cat that she takes care of when I’m not around so she can do both animals.”
3. Megan C.
“Meghan was so great watching our dogs!! She sent us several photos and was so communicative. She really gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be rebooking her in the future!”
4. Stephanie & Elizabeth B.
“This was Mia's first time with Stephanie and Elizabeth, and all went well. I really appreciate them taking care of my 16.5 year old pup. she appeared to have had a great time. Will definately book with them again. Thanks, from Vickie and Mia!”
5. Lisa P.
“Lisa was AMAZING with my dog. She stayed the weekend at my house and took such great care of him. She was so communicative with me and attentive to my dog’s needs as he can be anxious. I felt so bad that she even had to deal with a few potty accidents in the house, but handled them so kindly. My dog (who can be a little wary/standoffish) took to her immediately and loved her. I will definitely be asking Lisa to watch him again!”
6. Jillian L.
“Jillian L. Is a pets’ best friend. She is loving, patient and kind and treats my pets like her own. They are always excited to see her.”
7. Danielle A.
“If there were more stars Danielle would have gotten them. She really is a godsend. Our original sitter had to cancel at the very last moment. Danielle did a phone interview with my sister and I and then came right over after getting off work. Jazzy took to her immediately as did Harli. We received multiple pictures every day and we could see how happy they were with Danielle. I can’t express my gratitude to her. She is just wonderful!”
8. Ashley P.
“Ashley is amazing, our dogs love her! She goes above and beyond. She sent pics and updates daily and is truly just great! Made leaving our pups behind a whole lot easier!”
9. Hadassah B.
“I have know Hadassah for many years. I can say one of her best attributes is being a loving & caring person and this definitely carries over in her love for animals. She has dog sat for me several times and I never had to worry. I always felt at ease with my fur baby in her care.”
10. Sarah J.
“Sarah was an exceptional sitter and took wonderful care of my two boys! She kept me informed of their potty and walk schedules which gave me such a peace of mind while out of town. I will absolutely be using Sarah in the future! Thank you again Sarah, and it was a pleasure working with you!”
11. Sara A.
“Sara was just wonderful. I think my dog had a better weekend with her than he ever would with us! She took him on field trips and also snuggled him on the couch. He is very lucky we found her!”
12. Steven D.
About: As a pet owner myself I can confidently say that I love pets with my whole heart. While I’m not the best at training pups you can be sure your pups are in the right hands when you’ve got a ball of joy at your fingertips. I love meeting new owners and providing a quality experience! I’m currently working a part time job at a trampoline park primarily on the weekends. I’m also a college student majoring in finance. Lastly outside of house sitting and pet sitting I run side hustles here and there like offering tree deliveries during the holidays and many other things! I’m free outside of school hours usually. My availability is as follows Monday free after 1pm unless told otherwise Tuesday free after 1pm unless told otherwise Wednesday free between 1pm and 3pm then available again after 8pm unless told otherwise Thursday available after 1pm unless told otherwise Friday - Sunday depending on work is what I can set my availability just discuss with me and we can work something out Wondering whether your pets are gonna be safe with me should be the least of your worries. They’ll have an environment like no other. They’ll get my undivided attention as should anyone when being addressed.
13. Elijah G.
“Elijah is awesome! My kitties and dogs loved him and he gave them lots of love and attention. The house was clean and neat when I returned home. I will definitely ask Elijah to come the next time I have to go out if town. I highly recommend him.”
14. Alex P.
“Alex went above and beyond! Desi was immediately charmed. Alex also took her to the dog park, and communicated throughout the entire time. Will def be my first contact the next time i need a sitter. Thanks a million”
15. Casey Sloane A.
“Casey was great! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone who wasn’t family, and we were very nervous. Casey went above and beyond to communicate their welfare and keep us at ease while away. The dogs were safe and sound and the hand off was easy. Thank you!”
16. Lindsey H.
“Lindsey was great with Ellie! Super responsive, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of her.”
17. Samantha C.
“Samantha took care of my menagerie while I was out of town for close to two weeks! I came home to a neat, clean home full of happy pets. Highly recommend?”
18. Dakota K.
“Dakota was great while we were away and Annie was in good hands. Dakota was also flexible and available while we navigated a family emergency during the house sitting. I appreciated so much that I didn’t have to worry about my pup while I had other responsibilities to attend too. I would gladly rebook with Dakota.”
19. 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%”
20. Ana R.
“Ana was so wonderful and helpful for my family and our fur babies! It was my first booking on Rover and I was honestly a little nervous at first. She made us feel so comfortable and took great care of our pups! She stayed in touch and sent us pictures while we were away making us all feel very comfortable and letting us know they were in great hands. Thank you so much again Ana! ❤️ ?”
