“Lisa and her family took excellent care of our 2 pups. We really appreciated the great communication, check ins with updates and photos and overall peace of mind knowing our babies were cared for in a loving home while we were away. We will definitely book with Lisa again.”


“Jennifer took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, Patton. He can be shy and sensitive at first, and she was very patient with him, gave him space, and let him warm up at his own pace. She followed his routine, kept us updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was eating, drinking, going potty, and comfortable. She also understood his needs around other dogs and made sure he had his own space when needed. We were traveling overseas, and her clear communication gave us real peace of mind. We are very grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with Patton again.”

“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”


“Suzanne should be your first option for dog boarding. Going anywhere else just doesn't make sense. She is meticulous in her preparation to receive your dog. And when she has your dog she genuinely treats her/him like part of her family.”

“Our dog Sammy loved his stay with Linda and her family. They sent us photos and videos updates daily, making us feel so relieved and happy. Their dog Jachik is also so friendly and loving. We would love to work with Linda again in the future! ❤️”

“What a wonderful stay Charlee had with Cherolyn. She spoiled him and took amazing care of him I never worried the second I left him with her for two weeks! Cherolyn is a one of a kind person and we are greatful to have found her on Rover. Thank You Again for everything.”

“Excellent stay and care for Sweetie 💕 Beth was amazing and very friendly, responsive and took great care of my pup. Additional perk, Sweetie found a new BFF. 100 % recommend”

“They are a very friendly, dog loving couple. Did a lot of activities with our dog and theirs. Sent us pictures of her adventures with them which we appreciated. Our dog will be looking forward to visiting again”

“Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec”

“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”

“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”


“Jeanne is one of a kind! She is truly an animal lover in every sense of the word. She was so attentive to our Rico and spoiled him during his stay. I could tell he did not want to leave. She was great with sending updates through pictures and videos and being flexible on drop off and pick up times. I’m not sure I’ll use anyone else for Rover! She gave us peace of mind that Rico was in good hands. Thanks for everything!! ❤️❤️”


“Robin P was the best person I could’ve chosen to watch my dog Spencer. Spencer loved being with her and she sent me videos and text daily to let me know how Spencer was doing! She treated Spencer like it was her own dog, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Spencer for us while we were out of town! We have actually booked her again for the beginning of the year when we go on a cruise! Thank you Robin for doing such a great job with our fur baby!!”


“Kimber did an amazing job with my two big boys! She was attentive, calm, and true dog lover. She sent videos multiple times a day and it was wonderful to see how happy all the pups were. Thank you so much!”

“She was great with my dobie even taught her not to jump.She sent videos daily .I could see my dog had a great sitter and was happy.I will use her again gladly.She is wonderful.”


About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Denise and Brett were amazing with Xena. Upon drop off, both asked questions regarding Xena’s specific needs, barriers, etc to make sure she was comfortable and “at home” . I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”

Manasota dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lisa is wonderful! Bosco can be a little finicky and ‘moody’— and certainly doesn’t like kennels. So we tried Rover and were blessed enough to find Lisa! Thank you again— and will likely check in with Lisa to make sure she’s available before even planning our next trip!

I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.
