Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Ringling Park, Sarasota, FL

“Rebeca is very accommodating and kind. She treats our pup as if it were her own, and she does a very nice job. My wife and I would highly recommend her services!”

“Evelyn treated Stella like her own: was eager to check on it, noticed ailments and resolved them. She communicated on the dot and left no room for any mishaps. I'll be having her take care of Stella again at the earliest time available!”

“Bailey came and did a meet and greet with my pups. They took to her immediately as they can tell she truly loves animals. She took notes for our coming visit and implemented her tasks wonderfully. I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”

“Nicole is truly a gem. She goes above and beyond making sure your pet is loved and treasured. She also will send you photos of when she babysits and gives you a rundown on how your fur baby is doing! She took care of my Friede for two weeks and I didn’t have to worry once! Thank you always Nicole!”

“Emma was fantastic with our 8 year old dog while we were away for Thanksgiving. She provided multiple pictures and updates during her drop in visits and gave her lots of love. We were hesitant to leave our baby but Emma immediately put our minds at ease and I’m so happy we decided to give Rover another try. Thanks again Emma!!!”

“As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father”

About: I am an Animal Studies and Environmental Studies double major entering my senior year in the fall. I have had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats, and have experience caring for both. I have more than two years of experience working in doggy daycare and more than one year of experience working in doggy boarding. I am comfortable with all breeds and all sizes and am also comfortable administering medication as long as instructions are provided. I am currently out of school for the summer. While at school I was employed to a doggy daycare, but while home for the summer I am unemployed. I have a grant to do research on beach nesting birds for the summer and will receive more details on the schedule for that in coming weeks, but was told the hours are flexible, so they can work around your needs! I will play with, cuddle with and love on your pet as much as you would like and don’t mind taking them on adventures to the park or the store! The only thing I lack experience in is bathing, otherwise I am open to help your pet have as much fun as possible while you’re away. I am also comfortable with helping you with anything you need done while you’re away, such as watering plants or checking the mail. Please let me know how I can help you :)

“Karen was awesome! She went above and beyond for our pup. Very communicative and sent pics with each drop in visit. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!!”

“Emma is super friendly to both humans and dogs. She is well trained and has experience with rescues and reactive animals. Overall excellent and promptly responsive!”

“Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.

“Marycarmen is a young woman who loves animals. She is responsible and extremely affectionate when it comes to caring for dogs. I highly recommend her as an excellent pet sitter.”

“I can’t recommend Paige enough! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away, and I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-loved furry friend. Communication was excellent—daily updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave me complete peace of mind. It’s clear that Paige truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and professional—everything you’d hope for in a pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

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.

“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!”

“Michaela is a fantastic pet caregiver! She regularly looks after my 5-year-old lab and always provides loving, attentive care. She's responsible, trustworthy, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Shannon was awesome taking care of our sweet boy! Very communicative and you can see her genuine love for animals. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Kimberly truly saved the day. We had someone cancel last minute and she was able to come right over for our meet and greet. She did everything asked of her and even went beyond with the pics and playtime. Thanks again and will definitely keep her in mind for next time we go away.”

“Ashley is very calm, which is really important with a bulldog because you don't want them to get overheated. I could tell my dog liked her because she was very calm when I came home. All of this is very important to me! I would definitely recommend Ashley!”

“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.”
