“Evelyn was great! She was able to accommodate our pups on short notice and did a fantastic job. I appreciated the regular updates/photos and questions she had. Highly recommend!”




2. Kim S.


“Kim was perfect taking care of my two cats for a week. I trust her completely and will ask for her services the next time I go away. When I got home I expected my cats to be waiting for me at the door like they usually do when they hear me, but they were so relaxed I had to go find them and wake them up to say hello. She sent me photos or video of them every day which was great. They like Kim a lot too!!!”

6. Maggie D.
About: Hey there! My name is Maggie and I just moved to Sarasota from Denver, CO. I am also a dog mom to my sweet 3 year old pup, Frankie, as well as my boyfriend’s dogs, Bear and Regan. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, which is why I love Rover! I’d love to walk, play, feed, or just hang out with your dog anytime. I have experience living and taking care of both big and small dogs, but no matter what size, I love them all! I am currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am in town most weeks and weekends, aside from the occasional weekend getaway. I have a fenced in backyard, which is where our 3 dogs love to play. I also love to get some exercise myself, so we are a big fan of walks!

“Sophia is ***** a five-star Dog Walker and caregiver to many dogs, including walking my high strung maltise mix and also a poodle mix. She is also great with large breeds. Lots of care and strong, and can handle any situation with large and small dogs. I highly recommend her for anyone interested in a punctual, faithful, caring and attentive dog walker. She is also excellent with cats and their well-being and care!”


8. Cloie H.
About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life. My grandma was a vet tech for 20 years so I’ve seen and learned some stuff from her. I have open availability to everything. I’m currently available at anytime of the day and any day of the week. I can come multiple times a day or stay the night at a clients house. I follow the rules a client will give me. Usually anything on the list of stuff a client gives you will cover everything but if I have further questions or concerns, I will reach out to the client and ask them.

16. Samantha P.
About: I am a freelance photographer and videographer with a very flexible schedule. Let me take your pup for a walk or check in on them while you're away. I've got the spare time to help you out if you need regular, weekly help or last notice/minute help. I’ve been around small dogs and large dogs so I am comfortable with either size. I would prefer to handle only one dog at a time, at first, just so personalities can mix first. I currently have a dachshund who thinks he’s a pit bull, however my horse-sized dog who was 70 pounds recently passed. We also have a cat who keeps to herself most of the time but likes to smack the hot dog around here and there. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you soon. I am working part time/freelance so I have extra time to help out on a regular/daily basis. Most of my current appointments are evening so I have a lot of daily availability In my home, my dog can be crated if need be. I am comfortable working in your home so long as we meet in advance of the appointment and you feel comfortable with me having access.


17. Erin F.


“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”




18. Kimberly G.
“Found Kim’s profile on Rover. She was very quick to respond and super flexible with the dates and times we needed and was even able to add a couple extra visits in the middle of it all. We met her within 24hrs of our request. She was kind and very professional. While we were away, she helped us feel comfortable by sending us a clear description of her tasks completed and great pictures of the cats with every visit. I would highly recommend her.”


19. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”


20. Oriana O.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every animal I care for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means helping a puppy learn good habits with gentle, consistent training or giving extra love and comfort to a senior dog who just wants a calm, cozy space. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my time around their needs, making sure to include walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love. I enjoy adjusting my day to give them company and attention, whether it’s for scheduled visits or longer stays. For me, it’s not just a task—it’s one of the best parts of my week! When I care for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel at ease. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet gets personalized care and attention, just like they would if their family were there.
