Devynn did an amazing job watching Darcy! I was so happy she was available again to take care of Darcy. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Darcy was so loved while I was away. I got so many cute pictures and updates! She also was very mindful of my home and left everything spotless. Thank you for doing such a great job watching her!

Kathy did a fantastic job with my dog Kylie. Kylie is almost 13 and takes lots of pills for heart issues, etc. so she needs to pee all the time. Kathy was on top of it. Many times outside to let Kylie do her thing. She stayed overnight at my house so Kylie was not alone. Kylie and the house were perfect when we returned. I would totally use Kathy again, and recommend her for others. Thank you Kathy.

Monica is lovely and responsible. My dog took to her instantly and that was the most important part of this. She kept in touch with text and photos and left my house in lovely condition. And mostly she was just great with my dog.

Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!

About: Growing up, I always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I loved animals, and I still do. My home is very clean, not just for myself but for them as well. Pets have always been a soft spot for me, and I make time for them every day. I can’t remember a time without furry friends in my home! I’m observant and attentive to every pet’s personality. I make sure they feel comfortable in their favorite spots, whether it’s their bed or a special corner in your home. I follow all instructions carefully from meals and treats to medications and routines to give your pet the care they deserve.

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs for the summer to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services throughout the entire year. It is just me. Unfortunately, I was not able to have kids but luckily I have over 550 kiddos at work and a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe them, love them and be their fill in mommy until you return. ;) I promise the $ is worth the value. <3 I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them to feel comfortable in their little home.

About: I treat every pet like family, offering personalized care and devoted attention to ensure they feel safe, loved, and truly at home while you're away. I can adjust my availability to accommodate specific requirements upon request, ensuring personalized attention and care for each pet’s unique needs and well-being, providing a comforting and secure experience. I prefer caring for pets in my home as it allows me to be more attentive, providing a loving environment that makes them feel at home and lessens their sense of their owner's absence. However, if the owner prefers, I can also visit their home to care for the pets, ensuring their comfort and routine are maintained.

About: Hi, I'm Miranda, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience in pet care, including in-home sitting and drop in visits for cats and dogs and even the occasional exotic fish or bird. Based in North Port, Venice and Sarasota areas. I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar environment—free from the stress of kennels or boarding facilities. That's why I specialize in personalized, overnight in-home pet sitting, ensuring your furry family member gets the love, exercise, and routine they crave while you're away. I've fostered many rescues in my home. I have skills in everything from oral medication administration to basic behavioral training. Whether it's daily walks in the neighborhood, playtime with toys, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, I tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected! Past clients rave about my reliability and the peace of mind I bring. When I'm not watching fur babies, you'll find me at the beach, hanging out with my 2 rescue pups or adventuring. Ready to book a meet-and-greet? Message me! Let's keep your pet happy, healthy, and home—where they belong! 🐾 Looking for a reliable sitter in Gulf Gate? I work locally Mon–Thu and can easily swing by for drop-ins before, during, or after my workday. I’m also happy to stay at your place! I’ll be out of your house during the day for work, but I make it a priority to come home at lunch to check on your fur babies and make sure they’re doing great. I’ve been a dedicated animal lover and sitter for over two decades! My journey began on a Colorado ranch where I looked after everything from pups to poultry (and the occasional iguana). Since then, I’ve spent years fostering dogs and building a loyal base of repeat clients who trust me with their homes and 'fur babies.' You can count on me to provide the same love and care I give my own pets, while always leaving your home exactly as I found it—clean and tidy

Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!

Cant say enough how happy we are with Emma. We have an 11.5 yr old boxer very high anxiety and on many prescriptions daily. We have been unable to travel without worry while we are gone due to his anxiety causing medical issues. He did GREAT with Emma. Not only was she great with him but she also took care of our 2 bunnies 4 fish and bearded dragon. We couldn’t be happier and will be using her again.

Cameron was so helpful when our flights were delayed. He always goes above and beyond but this was way beyond. Originally we were supposed to be home early afternoon, but after our Spirit flight got cancelled he stayed until early evening. We finally arrived home 4:00am the flowing morning. Knowing they wouldn’t be alone for too much of an extended period was comforting. Thank you Cameron!

We are so grateful to have found Stephanie. Our sweet poodle Justice came home the day before from surgery and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger. However Stephanie's calm presence and obviously love for animals came through and Justice was very open to her. Stephanie communicated with us while we were away as well as shared photos. I look forward to having Stephanie come again or Justice going to her home.

We had a last minute need for a sitter and our usual sitter was not available. I am always nervous about using a new sitter, but Jill’s profile seemed like she could be a good fit. She came for a meet and greet that day, and after meeting her in person I felt comfortable with her sitting for us. Jill spent the weekend with our dog and did a great job. She followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our dog was safe, fed, and well cared for while we were gone. We received photo updates and she was quick to respond to our texts. Our house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. She’s a trustworthy, calm, and responsible person who I don’t hesitate to recommend. We will book with Jill again!

There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.
