“Delia was wonderful! Both our pups were well cared for while we were away for a week. Great communication, followed our instructions to a tee, I would highly recommend Delia and I will be using her sitting services again.”

About: We always had 2 dogs, my responsibility.As an adult I have had rescues and purebreds. I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and a dog makes it a learning experience. Fully retired. Snowbirds here through April 1. Have come to Sarasota last 13 years. Took the leap to be here Oct through April. We have a new puppy a Westie named Wallace who loves it here. I would provide walking services only since we are in an apartment downtown. Would prefer to work downtown area. There are so many parks and great locations to walk.

“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”

“Sonja was awesome with our cat! He is very social so I was worried about leaving him for 5 days but Sonja went above and beyond, she took such good care of him and had great communication, which put my mind at ease. 100% will be using her again in the future!”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing. Words cannot express how grateful we are for Nicole to accommodate her time for our puppy Mimi’s needs. Mimi loved meeting with Nicole, and their adventures and pics showed how happy and well taken care of Mimi was in Nicole’s care. Nicole took the time to send us updates and pictures on her time with Mimi. Her pics were way better than any I have taken. She was very flexible with her time and was always on time for pet sitting. What an amazing experience we had meeting and working with Nicole, and Mimi just absolutely loved Nicole. Highly recommended, your fur baby will be in the best caring hands.”

“Kailea was very thorough in taking care of Bodhi, as well as extremely communicative and easy to work with. She clearly cared about Bodhi and his well being as soon as she met him. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.

“Mauricio did a fantastic job with Pippa. Was on time and very friendly. He was very good with Pippa. Was wonderful for a last minute issue.”

“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!”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve been running a “private flight crew” for dogs in my apartment community for the last three years. Now that we’ve moved into a home with a yard, I’m able to expand my guest list and offer more First-Class stays. I specialize in creating a calm, boutique boarding experience with small groups, gentle structure, and tons of personal attention. My background is in real, in-home care for dogs of all personalities — seniors, shy pups, social butterflies, and everything in between — and I focus on safe introductions, cozy routines, and individualized care so every pup feels secure and completely at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — it’s part of my everyday “flight plan.” I work from home and stay hands-on throughout the day, so the pups enjoy consistent attention, yard time, play, treats, and snuggles. My husband, Riley, is also a co-pilot in our little operation, and for reasons unknown, every pup decides he’s their instant favorite — I’ve accepted it. Together we keep a calm, steady rhythm with morning potty breaks, midday activity, afternoon naps, and evening walks or yard zoomies. Because we only host a small number of dogs at a time, each pup gets the time, structure, and companionship they need to feel completely comfortable and cared for. When pups stay in our home, they live right alongside us — part of the household, never tucked away or left alone in a separate space. I tailor each dog’s care to match their routine and personality: slow introductions for shy pups, structured play for energetic guests, cozy rest areas for nappers, and plenty of enrichment throughout the day. I supervise all interactions to keep the environment peaceful and positive, and I follow your feeding, medication, and comfort instructions exactly as you share them. Riley is also involved in the day-to-day care (and yes, he somehow becomes everyone’s favorite within minutes). With only a small number of dogs at a time, we’re able to give each pup thoughtful, individualized attention and create a safe, familiar, truly home-like experience.

“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!”

“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

“Simone helped with mid day visits while we went to Japan. I never met her before our trip but was immediately confident we could trust her with our girl and full access to our home, She always sent lots of pics and she had the initiative to brush/ groom our pup while we were on a 2 week vacation. She was very timely allowing me to relax and enjoy! She always communicated any concern and immediately responded if I messaged her. Highly recommend!”

Vicki H.

“The very best! Easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Follows all directions for care and is very nice (to me and my cat!) Never have to worry when I have Kimberly booked.”

Riley R.

“Abry is fantastic. She helped us out on short notice and our pups loved her. She is professional and provided our pups with love and special attention. Highly recommend her-”

Dan M.

“Stephenie I is a Godsend! We had been in St Armand’s for two months but at the last minute needed to find an experienced sitter for a day of drop-in visits. Stephanie is someone who has earned my respect and trust because of the way she treats my 16-year old bossy and fussy and not all that friendly Papillon. He took to Stephanie immediately! Stephanie followed all instructions to perfection, sent us photo updates before and after every visit - and we came home to a happy dog! We will definitely hope to use Stephanie again. And we absolutey recommend her for you with confidence.”

Priscilla J.

“Ella was great! She seemed to enjoy playing with our little dog, was on time and neat. We will use Ella again!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve raised my own dog since she was 2 months old—she’s now 12—so I understand every stage from puppy energy to senior comfort. I also grew up with family dogs and have even helped two dogs deliver puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborns, mama dogs, and special care needs. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. As a bilingual toddler mom with a naturally nurturing style, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Your pet will get kindness, consistency, and the same level of attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a full-time single mom, and my son absolutely adores animals—we spend a lot of time outdoors, going for walks, playing, and staying active. Adding your dog to our routine is easy and enjoyable for us. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m already in a rhythm that allows your pet to get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In my home, pets follow a loving and consistent routine. I provide food twice a day (or according to your dog’s usual schedule), plenty of potty breaks, and a safe, cozy space to rest. My own dog has her own beds and crate, and visiting pets get the same comfort and structure. There’s lots of playtime, outdoor time, and of course plenty of hugs and attention. I make sure every dog feels relaxed, cared for, and included as part of the family. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine exactly—feeding times, walks, crate use, and any special instructions—so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
