“Baxter enjoyed his stay and was well taken care of while we were away. It took the stress out of traveling knowing he was in good hands and received such TLC!!! Thank you Donna!”

“This was our boy Dexter’s first stay with Alex and Andressa. We moved to the area and have been looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. And we were lucky enough to find them. He was well taken care of and we got plenty of pictures and videos of his visit. Highly recommend them, and we will definitely be using them again!”

“Linda was great- she was communicative, helpful, great with our dog, and kept us updated throughout our trip. Thank you Linda for taking great care of our little guy!”

“Ania did such an amazing job taking care of our older Pug. He’s slow and has some health issues, and she was incredibly kind and caring with him. She updated us with lots of pictures and provided frequent snuggles. I think he was sad to come home!”

“Amy was amazing with our babies and she sent updates and pictures every day. We will definitely book with her again when needed and recommend her to our family and friends!”

“My little Khloe stayed with Rosalva for a couple of days, and was taken such good care of! Rosalva is very warm and welcoming, and has a beautiful home, and I felt very comfortable having Khloe stay with her. She sent updates and pics, which was very appreciated. She absolutely treated Khloe like a member of the family. I would definitely recommend Rosalva and would for sure use her again!!”

“Lynn took such good care of my girl during my trip out of town. Celine stayed with Lynn over the 4th of July weekend and made Celine feel safe as she is afraid of fireworks. She also did really well with Lynn’s dog and they played together.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. In addition to owning pets, I have pet sat for friends and family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My family is very pet-friendly, and my children love interacting with pets through playtime and affection while I provide all care and supervision. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and homeschool my children, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Our family spends most of our time at home, providing pets with plenty of attention and supervision. While my children participate in sports activities on some evenings, pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I plan my schedule to ensure they receive consistent care, exercise, and affection. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. Because I work from home and homeschool my children, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.
“Kym & Glen kept our 7yr old mini schnauzer for 3+ days while we traveled for family! As soon as I met Kym, I felt very comfortable and knew he would be well taken care of! & he was!!! They even let him sleep with them!! Additionally, they are very responsive & send many photos! 10/10 & would recommend! :-)”

“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”

“Nancy is super sweet and made our pitbull, Athena, feel loved and welcomed. I'm pretty sure Athena missed them on her first day back home. Would recommend and would use again.”

“We had such a great experience with Camila! She was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning. She even invited us over beforehand so we could see how our cat would do in her home and meet her sweet dog, which really put us at ease. While we were out of town, she cared for our cat for several days and sent us regular updates and photos. She truly went above and beyond to make our cat feel comfortable, loved, and part of her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”

“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”

“Nicholas and his family took great care of Suzy! They sent frequent updates and pictures and gave us peace of mind she was safe and happy while we were away. Will definitely recommend and book again!”

Thank you so much for you and your family taking King in. He was always smiles and is so calm after picking him up. I really appreciate everything you and your family did and I hope you and the kids enjoyed the company. He is a really a huge lap dog 😂 thank you again for everything

Rachael was wonderful with our 3 kitties while we were away for an entire week. She kept in contact with us and sent us pictures of each of them to let us know they were o.k. I felt very comfortable with Rachael and her family watching over our kitties. We would definitely book with her again!

There are 3,454 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ruskin. About 92% of Ruskin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
