About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.
“Nicole is a gem, she took great care of my sweet & sassy cat. She was very communicative and very professional, I will absolutely hire Nicole again and highly recommend her!”
“Bailey took care of us during the July 4 holiday weekend. We had great communication throughout her stay at our home, and just as before, we came home to a tidy home and well cared for kittos. I feel so comfortable leaving our 3 littles and home in her hands and am grateful she is a part of our care team.”
“Annie is wonderful. She not only fed and cared for our cat Misty daily but she was kind enough to bring in our mail and pull the trash cans up from the street. She is very flexible and is willing to help out as needed. We paid her extra to water some outdoor plants, which took almost two hours of her time. I must reiterate, Annie is very willing to help you in anyway she can. We will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Amazing sitter! Took wonderful care of my little princess and they immediately got along like long-lost friends. Professional, courteous, and stellar work; highly recommended.”

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.

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.
About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

“Our first experience with Rover, and with having someone -other than family- care for our (very needy) bengal kitty. I’m happy to say, Erin was great! She made us feel completely at ease leaving her alone in our home with Desmond. Desi loved her and looked for her after she left :( She is intuitive, cares a great deal and was super communicative, sending texts regularly, which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely call on Erin any time we need a sitter!”
About: Hi there. I’m Kristin. I’m retired and have extra time in my day to devote to your fur babies. I love animals. They have a special place in my heart. I love walking and would love the opportunity to have your dog or cat join me. As a pet owner of a Havanese, I know how much you love and want the best for your baby. They are our family and nothing is more important. Love, attention and safety is my number one priority when looking after your pet. Just let me know your specific needs and I will make sure it to accommodate. I’m retired and have plenty of spare time in my week. I have time Monday through Friday to walk, feed, love and care for your pets. I prefer to care for your pets in your home. I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own home and overall more relaxed and happy.

Sarasota cat parents share their Rover experiences
First time using the services of Rover and have to say will not be the last. Isabelle did a fantastic and professional job. She was very punctual, communicative and did a tremendous job taking care of our 5 pets. Will definitely use her services again in the future and will recommend her to others.
I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!
