“Our Daisy was in great hands! We loved Marcia from the first meet and greet! She is knowledgeable, caring, and kind. We had to leave Daisy for the entire day - 12 hours- and Marcia stepped in to do some drop ins. We definitely will use her again! She sent a few pics of Daisy which helped ease our minds and assure us she was perfectly fine and safe! Thank you again, Marcia and Rover.com! ❤️”


“What a wonderful experience with Becky. She was prompt and caring and so lovely caring for my beloved cat Biggie. He is a funny finicky fellow and she succeeded to win him over. They were best buds. Not her fault that the morning visit he wouldn’t leave the bedroom. He does that sometimes. Would not hesitate to hire her again. Highly recommended for your beloved pets.”


About: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.

“As you know, it's so stressful trying to find someone who will care for your pets like you do, but Shari was absolutely fantastic for us! I've never seen our two cats act so well adjusted coming back from time away like they have with Shari taking care of them- We knew we were in perfect hands when we met her- She really cares about pets and their well-being. --Great communication, professionalism, and showed great care! We couldn't recommend her more! Thx Shari-”


About: I am a lifetime pet lover and have cared for my family pets and my own now for over 20+ years. I treat your pet like family while you enjoy yourself knowing your pet is in good hands. Throughout my life, my deep love for dogs has been a cornerstone of my experiences and relationships. Having cherished my 15-year-old Shih Tzu-Yorkie named Winston, and my 18-year-old Shih Tzu-Yorkie, Wee Maggie, I have developed a profound appreciation for the companionship and joy that these furry friends bring. Now, with Nike, our soon-to-be four-year-old Labradoodle, I continue to embrace the responsibilities and rewards of pet ownership. My dedication to animals extends beyond my own pets; I am available for dog walking, doggie daycare and overnight dog care. I have a flexible work at home schedule and am open to all opportunities to assist with your pet care needs. Please feel free to contact me with special requests. I would care for your pet overnight in my or your own home so it is at ease and is not further disrupted. My home is always available.

“Bob was great with our dogs and our house even gave the floors a vacuum to pick up dog hair. Always kept us up to date with pictures. When he came by to return the house key the dogs responded will with wagging tails and obvious affection. We will have him back.”


About: With over 30 years of experience, caring for both cats and dogs, I understand that pets aren’t just animals – they’re family. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities, including a beloved cat and dog with special needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, handling mobility challenges, and providing the extra patience and attention that some pets require. Whether your pup needs energetic walks, playtime, and belly rubs, or your cat prefers a calm lap, and gentle care, I tailor my approach to each pets needs. I treat every pet like my own because I know how much it takes to leave them in someone else’s hands. You can count on me for reliable, loving, and attentive care that gives you peace of mind and gives your pet a happy, stress-free experience while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day,midday check-in for some planned attention, or evening cuddles, I’m used to building my schedule around the needs of animals. Now that I have more flexibility in my day-to-day life, I have the time and energy to dedicate to giving your pet the care, companionship, and consistency they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do-it’s something I love being part of my everyday routine. From keeping feedings on track to providing regular exercise and affection I treat each pet as a priority in my day. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to ensure comfort and consistency. I provide fresh food and water, go for walks or playtime (as needed), give any required medications, and offer plenty of love and attention. I keep the environment, clean, follow all instructions closely, and treat your home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

“Courtney had stopped over to meet Rylie and Heidi prior to me leaving to go out of town. The dogs seemed comfortable with her and vice versa. Courtney kept me updated throughout each day with texts and photos. She let me know that Heidi seemed wary about going outside. I offered a couple suggestions which Courtney tried and it was successful. She was easy to communicate with & I felt comfortable leaving my babies in her care. I would definitely rebook Courtney.”


“Tami came to my house on short notice. At our meet & greet, she was easy to talk to, understood my needs, and my dogs took to her immediately. I have a pitbull mix & a boxer mix, in other words, a rambunctious pair, and Tami was unfazed by their antics. Tami came to my house three times/day, made their special meals, and entertained them in the yard. I will definitely contact Tami again when next I need a petsitter. I like Tami, but the dogs LOVED her.”

Manasota Key pet parents share their Rover experiences
Theresa took great care of our not-very-friendly cat. She visited him for a week we were out of town and kept in touch with us daily with notes and pictures. She soon found his favorite toy and won him over by the second day. Our cat (name OP) is not a great traveler, so he got a break from long rides in a car and we didn't have to worry about him having an "accident" in the car or wandering off when we had to stop. We intend to book her again.

Karen arrived on time and followed all of our directions. We have 3 dogs and they can be a handful. She fed them, let them out in the yard. They are lazy dogs for the most part so they were happy. She sent me pictures while she was there. Will definitely call again when we need a sitter.

Courtney had stopped over to meet Rylie and Heidi prior to me leaving to go out of town. The dogs seemed comfortable with her and vice versa. Courtney kept me updated throughout each day with texts and photos. She let me know that Heidi seemed wary about going outside. I offered a couple suggestions which Courtney tried and it was successful. She was easy to communicate with & I felt comfortable leaving my babies in her care. I would definitely rebook Courtney.

Emily took care of our 2 kittens while we were on vacation. We couldn't be more happy with her service. She went to the house twice a day to care and play with them. She communicated with us after each visit. Emily gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We will use her on our next trip! I highly recommend Emily to care for your pet.
