“Misty was great to work with. I got photos of Charlie throughout the week, and he seemed settled and fine. She was a great communicator, and her house is great. I will use Misty again should I need to.”
“Michelle did a terrific job for MIllie and myself. Both Millie and myself were experiencing separation anxiety, and Michelle did a great job for both of us.. Lots of photos and email dialogue reassuring my wife and I that Millie was doing fine. Truthfully, I think Millie missed being there and took a little time readjusting to being home. Will definitely try and book Michelle when we back in Florida next year.”
“Callie was great four our two dogs. She has a great set-up for dogs that like the outside. She also has two dogs and the four of them seemed to enjoy each other. We highly recommend Callie and hope to regularly call on her in the future.”
“Tiana and her daughter took great care of Minnie. Tiana was also very responsive, kind, and sent plenty of photos/videos. We were at peace knowing our dog was cared for and given plenty of attention and snuggles. Would highly recommend!”
“Kendall provided great care for our cat (Wixie) during our first absence from her. Wixie thrives on human connection, and it was clear she was showered with the attention she loves and needs. The daily photo updates gave us so much peace of mind—it wasn’t just that she was settling in, it was that she looked downright content, if not a little too happy to be away! Honestly, I’m still not convinced she’s thrilled to be back home… she may be missing her temporary digs and the sweet companionship she found there for her 8 day vacation. Despite a language barrier, communication was seamless thanks to a translation app, and any initial concern quickly disappeared. The experience was smooth and reassuring.”
“Michelle did an excellent job of watching WeeGee. We had an initial meet and greet so that everybody could get to know each other and WeeGee could get to know his surroundings. I had every confidence while I was away that WeeGee would be in good hands. And he was.”
“She took great care of our dogs while we were away and good communication! They had a great time and were so tired after coming home from playing so Much :)”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”
“Nancy was great. She gave me updates about my dog pictures and texts. If I called to check up on him, she was able to answer the phone she had toys and was very sweet. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have had a dog most of my life. I have also watched dogs for family and friends on several occasion's. Let your four legged child join our family. I'm currently retired. I take my dog Angel for a walk 4-5 times a day depending on the weather. Often one of our walks leads to the neighborhood dog park. I live in a main floor condo with a screen in lanai. I have a friendly dog to keep yours company. We can create your dog if that's what you like but would prefer they just join our family while you are gone.
“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”
“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!!!”
“Highly recommend! Sidney and her whole family were amazing. She stayed in contact with us and even helped us out to adjust our booking after an unexpected stay in another city.”
“Nicole and her family were wonderful with my pug and French bulldog! They are a true dog family and Nicole has prior dog experience that was very helpful in terms of gauging behavior, interaction with other dogs, and any individual needs. They gave them lots of playtime as well as breaks/rest, asked good questions, and shared photos & videos. Nicole has a large fenced-in yard that my dogs loved tearing around in. Their family also were able to help on short notice when I had a family emergency out-of-state, which made a huge difference. Thank you SO much for caring for my pups!”

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%! 😊

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 .
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.
