About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care as instructed, and giving them attention and companionship. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs and routine. I treat every pet with kindness and care, as if they were my own, and I am committed to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time, but I have availability after work on weekdays and plenty of time on weekends to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. My son and I love visiting local parks and walking the trails several times a week, giving active dogs plenty of exercise and fresh air. I also provide attentive care for other pets, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention while respecting their individual routines and needs. I care for every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 14 years old and have 12 years of experience caring for furry friends. I would love to care for your dogs, cats, or any pet you have! I am an animal lover to my core and welcome all pets. I have experience giving pets medication as needed and have cared for pets of all personalities and ages. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, but I have availability to take care of pets i. the mornings, during lunch, and after work into the evening. I am open entirely on weekends.

For pet sitting inside the client’s home, I ensure their daily routine is as-normal and I am always happy to take furry friends on walks.

Message me for questions on specific days and times :) If caring for your pet in your home, I will follow all rules you give me on pet care/crating to ensure your pet is safe. When walking dogs, I will ensure they are on the leash at all times and only walk in safe areas free from cars.
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Corinne was so kind and loving with my dogs! She treated them with such care . I am so thankful for her. She sent updates with pictures which made me feel so at ease, knowing they were in excellent care with her. My dogs were happy there and so well taken care of! Would 1000% ask her to watch my dogs again. Thank you!!!”
“I cannot recommend Katarina enough. Teddy unexpectedly developed GI issues that required a strict diet and extra care, and Katarina handled everything with such patience and professionalism. She kept us updated constantly, giving us total peace of mind. We are so grateful for the extra effort she put in during a difficult situation—she is a true 'dog person' and a total lifesaver. Highly recommend! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sarasota
Sheryl was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Frenchie (6) and Messi (4 months)! ❤️ We boarded them with her for about 4 days, and from the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was so kind, pleasant, patient, and attentive with both of them. She kept us reassured while we were away by sending photos and regular updates, which meant so much to us — especially being away from our babies! Frenchie also needed oral medication and an eye wash during her stay, and Sheryl handled it without hesitation. She was incredibly patient and gentle with her, and we truly appreciated how comfortable she made the whole process for her. Messi had such a great time too, and it was clear that both cats received lots of love and attention. 🥹🐾 We are so happy we found Sheryl and would absolutely recommend her to anyone locally looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies, Sheryl! 💕
We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!
We had an amazing experience! She took such great care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us and let us know our pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear she truly loves animals and treated our dog like one of her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Laura was wonderful. Sam had an amazing time while staying with her, and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout her stay. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Sam was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Laura with Sam again and wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Laura in the future.
It was the first time we left Joy, but she had a great time. She was very happy and also made a friend. Bennett kept us informed all the time and sent us photos, which made us feel very calm. Joy came back happy and very well taken care of. Thank you so much, Bennett. You were very kind and patient with Joy. We would definitely leave her with you again. We recommend you 100%! 😊

There are 1,504 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sarasota. About 94% of Sarasota 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
