“Sky has been really great with my baby Jerry! I love my dog so much and I can tell she truly cares about him and animals. She is super responsive and dependable. I had an unexpectedly long day at work this week and she was able to come twice a day on short notice. Thank you so much Sky! 🫶🏻”
About: I've taken care of dogs for the last eight years, including puppies and energetic dogs. I've got lots of toys, treats, and time to give your best friend :) and honestly I love dogs so much I would do this just for the joy of seeing dogs. I'm free every week day after 2, and all day each weekend. If boarding is needed during weekday mornings, they can be taken out at least every three hours. Otherwise, I can spend as much time with your pup as needed I usually play a lot with the pup, or take it on a walk. I love a good cuddle session, or even just hanging out together on the couch. Personally I feed my dog every morning and evening, and provide plenty of time in our fenced-in backyard to explore and run.
“Kailea took excellent care of our three doggos! We were visiting Sarasota, but will definitely contact her again if we need pet care on future visits. Thanks, Kailea!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took amazing care of our dog for three days, showing so much love and attention. It was clear that our pup felt safe and happy with her. We felt at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely book with her again, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“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 amazing. She was prompt attentive and really gave me peace of mind when I was away when she was looking after my cats. She sent me pictures every time she went. She’s very reliable and I will definitely use her again.”
“Rebeca is the absolute best! We receive detailed messages about her visits with our pup, along with the cutest photos and videos. We know Beau is always in the absolute best hands with Rebeca and she is always very punctual with her visits! She is also very flexible and understanding for alterations in our normal schedule.”
“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.”
“Thank you thank you thank you for taking such awesome care of our Roscoe. We appreciate your flexibility, communication, extensive detail, and lots of pictures. Heidi administered as needed medication appropriately and was very detailed in her reports. All signs say our boy loved her. We were able yo focus on our trip, knowing he was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
“She was prompt and super kind! Quick response time. One of the days she came to visit our pet, the rover app was down, so she went out of her way to check in & send pictures through text. Awesome experience!”
About: Since I was 9 I’ve raised and handled all sorts of pets- dogs, cats, budgies, hermit crabs, you name it! I’ve always had a passion for animals, especially dogs, and throughout my life have researched much about their behavior and how to train them. I’ve owned a number of different dog breeds, each with their particular personalities and needs, such as bullmastiffs, German shepherds, labs, and the dog I currently own, my little old Brussels griffon named Willie. I’ve also taken care of cats from a young age, and understand their unique temperament compared to dogs. Currently, I own two cats, Bisa and Alice. Currently, I am on summer vacation, with only one online engineering class. I’ll be in Sarasota until June 21, but before then I can work any time! Days, nights, weekends, no problem. When I’m in my own home, I am very patient with my own pets, watching their behavior to know what they want and what they don’t want, while also keeping them from getting into trouble or hurting themselves. I would treat other pets with this same patience and understanding if I house-sitted. Additionally, I’ve found that a healthy dose of snuggles, treats, and exercise usually helps animals to feel at ease.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Adrienne has been a lifeline for me. With my schedule at work and personal life constantly changing she is always readily available to come look after my pup. She sends pictures and is always in communication with me which puts my mind at ease leaving. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!!”

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!
