About: I’ve cared for small to medium-sized dogs in home settings, including overnight stays and multi-day visits. My experience includes feeding, walking, and keeping pets comfortable in their own environment while their owners are away. I’ve also managed multiple dogs at once, so I’m attentive to different personalities and routines. I focus on providing calm, consistent care and making sure each dog feels safe and supported. Pet care fits into my routine outside of my school hours, so I’m able to be present and focused during walks and visits. I plan my time so I’m not rushing and can give each dog proper attention I’m respectful of your home and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave and keep things calm and consistent so your dog feels safe while you’re away. I pay attention to their behavior and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Your pets are like my little brothers and sisters ✨

About: Our family currently has a Labrador, guinea pig, Crested Gecko and fish. I have raised our dogs from puppies to seniors. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust to come into your home and care for your pets. I also understand that it can be difficult for your pets and will give them lots of love. When caring for your pets I will always respect your wishes and direction. I am typically able to accommodate you and your pets needs with in a days notice and may be available for a same day drop in visit. I will keep your pet leashed and in your neighborhood while walking and give them love and attention once we are back at your home.
About: My home is located in south venice with a secure fenced in yard. I adopted a little girl Ellie who is 6 yrs old and a mix of datsun/?. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too. I pet sit for my neighbors and they are the ones who suggested I offer my services out. They will be my best references. I cared for fish, hamsters, bunny's and even pet chickens. Luv them all. Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Holly and Jace were great, I’m going away for a work trip next week, so I scheduled them for a drop in visit before my trip so they could get acquainted with my 2 dogs. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can trust my babies with someone while I’m away!”
About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.
“This was the first time I ever left my dog for an extended period of time with other than family. Carrie was excellent with my senior large fur baby. Who can also be stubborn. There is no doubt that she is an experienced professional working with animals as well as customers. Carrie was always timely neat, and above all caring. I looked forward to the daily report card and pictures. Would not hesitate leaving my Leo again in her caring capable hands.”
About: I’ve had the joy of growing up with both cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. I also have experience with reptiles from my younger years as a dedicated reptile enthusiast. I believe every animal deserves attentive care and genuine affection, and I’m passionate about providing both. In addition to general pet care, I have hands-on experience raising puppies, including helping others with potty training and basic routines, as well as caring for senior dogs. I’ve looked after elderly pets with special needs, such as a blind Jack Russell who required extra assistance and medication management. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with compassion, patience, and the highest level of care to keep them happy and safe while you’re away. I currently work part time for a delivery company with a flexible schedule to work around my pet care duties and have an open availability throughout the week While caring for your pets in your home, I maintain consistent feeding schedules, prioritize their safety, and ensure they receive regular outdoor time for exercise and bathroom needs. I also keep litter boxes and living areas clean and well maintained. Additionally, I provide regular updates after each visit or walk so you can feel confident and informed about your pet’s care.

About: I have always loved animals and can provide one on one specialized care to your animals. I care about the animals in my care and am willing to make them a priority.

“Christine is a sweetheart. Since I met her I could tell her love for dogs.Skipper was excited to meet her, always a good sign. She was on time to take care of our fur baby, sent pictures and communicated well. We will definitely ask her to help us again.”
“Hailey was absolutely amazing! I hired her to watch my two cats while I was away on a long trip, and she did such a wonderful job. She checked in every day, kept me updated, and made sure my fur babies were happy and cared for. I came home to two very content cats and a spotless space. I’ll definitely be hiring Hailey again for future trips. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

We took a day trip to Orlando and Faye was kind enough to care for our babies while we were gone! She sent many photos and updates throughout the day. She took care of our pups perfectly! If we take any more day trips we would love to have Faye love on our babes again! We would 100% recommend her to others!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Nokomis choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Nokomis with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
