“Cindy and Steve did a great job watching Bodie our Golden Retriever over Christmas. They were very flexible on drop off and pickup times. We got regular photo and video updates. They have a lovely home and a large fenced in play area and also walked Bodie regularly.”
“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”
“Kendal and Dre are amazing! River loves to visit and has the very best time! It makes leaving her that much easier when we know she is so well cared for!”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Yeini watched my dogs for the first time. She made sure to update me multiple times through the day. I am super happy with her services. My 2 malteses looked happy when I picked them up!”
“I highly recommend Jessica, She took amazing care of our mini Aussie and made her feel completely comfortable and at home. I really appreciated the regular updates while we were away. She was also more than happy to accommodate special requests, which meant a lot. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Tara and Justin are AMAZING!!!! We recently moved to Sarasota and were worried we wouldn't find anyone to care for our dogs since we don't know anyone in the area. I went on over and found Tara and Justin. They first watched our 2 doodles for an overnight (at my request) to make sure they were a good fit. Everything went great, so we booked them again for a week while we were out of town and they truly treated them as if they were part of their family! They sent us numerous photos (sometimes multiple times a day) of them playing, cuddling on the couch and playing with their 5 yr old son. Tara is super responsive and accommodating as well with pick ups and drop offs. I couldn't have asked for a better home and family to leave my pups with. We have already re-booked for next weekend and will continue to use Tara and Justin! If I could give them 10 starts I would!”
“This was our first time using Rover or a pet sitting service and Lori was great. She sent updates and pictures daily and we could see how our dog was happy and well cared for. We've used many kennel and pet resorts over the years but none of them could compare with the attention and care given our dog. We're happy to recommend Lori and will definitely have our dog stay with her in the future.”

“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”
About: I have had my own dogs for 20 plus years and have been a reliable and trusted sitter for different types of pets young and old. I will spend as much time as possible with your pet while they're in my care. I am generally available for last minute requests and am happy to visit your hotel or condo for pets on vacation! I strictly follow all owner rules to the best of my ability for your pet and home regarding time outdoors, safety, playing, meal times, discipline, and sleeping arrangements.
“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have loved them since I was a little girl. They naturally connect with me, and I treat every dog like family. I’ve helped care for friends’ pets by walking, feeding, and making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for at all times Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Being single, I truly enjoy the companionship animals bring and love including them in my daily routine, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced patio for secure outdoor time and live in a gated community for added peace of mind. Being close to a dog park also allows for fun walks and plenty of exercise in a safe environment
“Sierra is excellent. She's professional and accommodating. She loves animals and will take great care of your pet. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Natalya took care of our 18 month maltipoo, Charlee, while we were out of town for the holidays. She was absolutely wonderful with Charlee! I felt completely at ease with her and she sent daily photos and videos to us. Charlee also had a great time playing with her dog Masha! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“First time for my pup Wyatt with Thelma. He had a great time . Everything about this process was easy and I was able to visit my college son in NY without a worry! Thanks so much to Thelma and her family for taking such loving care of my boy .”

Sarasota pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our first time using Rover and boarding our 5 month puppy and everything worked out great. James and his wife along with their doggies all were awesome. We felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They clearly love animals and make your baby a part of their family. Alsi, they provided great tips on treats and training. Winnie clearly enjoyed herself and fell asleep on the way home.
Our 14 year old small terrier mix just spent 5 great days with Jewell. He is blind and mostly deaf so he's a special needs dog. Jewell welcomed him into her home, and he felt comfortable in his new surroundings the first day. We also appreciated the daily updates and photos.
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%! 😊
I contacted Cristal last minute for a quick 3 day getaway we planned and she was able to accommodate me with the help of her daughter in law. Mia came to pick up Nikki and promptly arrived at our agreed upon time. It was our first time ever leaving our girl with anyone other than family or friends so we were a bit nervous. Mia provided us with daily updates including pictures, which I truly appreciated. It sounded as though Nikki was super happy and that was a relief. Mia loved Nikki’s company too and that warmed my heart. Nikki was dropped off to us on time, happy, fed and walked for the night. It was a pleasure working with Cristal and Mia and we hope to use their services again in the future.
