“Our cat Albert was in great hands with Caroline! She kept us in the loop (and laughing) with her thorough and colorful accounts and photos of her time with him. Albert is shy but bonded with her immediately. If Albert could give this review I’d guess he’d give five paws up without question. She is lovely and kind and I’d trust her to care for any furry (or scaled or feathered!) creature of mine.”

“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! 🫶🏻”

“Briana was amazing!! not only did she take care of my kitties, she brought in my mail, brought in my trash cans and cleaned up new kitten, disasters!! I will 100% user again for future trips!”

“Dari was phenomenal with our fellas. She spent the holidays with them, loving them and caring for them while we were out of town. She is such an animal lover and genuinely cares for the well being of our fur babies. I can’t wait to hire her again. The fellas say thank you Aunt Dari!”

“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cat was calm and well cared for when I returned. Everything was neat and orderly in my house. She brought all my mail and packages inside as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Cassandra is a sweet, loving, attentive young lady. She took very good care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She payed them plenty of attention and talked back to them, which I’m sure they loved.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I want to make sure your furry (or not so furry) babies feel loved!! I can’t wait to meet them! Whatever your fluffy babies need, I will do my best to make that happen! Let’s chat and see what I can do for you :) I want to make your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

“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 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.
About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. This summer I will be in a production at the Asolo Repertory Theatre but before that I am looking to spend as much time with pups as I can. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.
“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!”
Sarasota dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole is the absolute best. We had a few hiccups with our doors and locks breaking and she was extremely helpful and willing to be flexible with us. She was extremely attentive and kind to our dogs, cleaned up an accident that my dog sometimes has in her crate and even helped keep an eye on our cats while we were away for the weekend. I would recommend her to anyone!

Maggie was absolutely amazing with our animals! She went above and beyond by sending us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets adore her and always get so excited when she comes to the house! She’s caring, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Maggie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and passionate to care for their pets!
