“Evelyn treated Stella like her own: was eager to check on it, noticed ailments and resolved them. She communicated on the dot and left no room for any mishaps. I'll be having her take care of Stella again at the earliest time available!”

About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.
“Emma did a fantastic job. Totally exceeded my expectations and did everything I asked beforehand. The daily updates she provided assured me that my cats were being taken care of. Not only does she ensure that there is food and water, she makes sure they got enough loving which means the world to me. 10/10”

About: I have years of personal and volunteer experience caring for both dogs and cats. I raised and cared for two small Schnauzers, and I’ve also looked after about three medium-sized and two large dogs, taking them on walks and making sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. I volunteered at a dog shelter where I helped feed, walk, and care for the dogs regularly. I also cared for the cats at the shelter, ensuring they were clean, fed, and happy. At home, I’ve taken care of my grandmother’s cats—brushing them, feeding them, and spending quality playtime with them. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and always treat them with love, patience, and responsibility. My schedule is very flexible, as I run my own business and manage my own time. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and any other specific routines your pet may have Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I take the time to build trust with each pet, going at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable around me. Whether it’s keeping dangerous items out of reach, supervising outdoor time, or simply providing a quiet, cozy space to rest, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving atmosphere. Communication with pet owners is also key — I always keep them updated and informed.

“Annie is wonderful. She not only fed and cared for our cat Misty daily but she was kind enough to bring in our mail and pull the trash cans up from the street. She is very flexible and is willing to help out as needed. We paid her extra to water some outdoor plants, which took almost two hours of her time. I must reiterate, Annie is very willing to help you in anyway she can. We will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Danielle has been doing weekly drop-in visits with my dog Toby for almost a year now. She has been a pleasure to work with and someone I can always count on.

Sophia F.Star Sitter
“As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father”

Sarasota Springs pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jackie is prompt, incredibly kind, and shows so much natural love to our little border collie Rusty. You can tell she deeply loves animals! Rusty absolutely loved to play, walk and give dog hugs! We also appreciated Jackie making time for us on short notice. We’ll definitely work with Jackie again and highly recommend her!
Evelyn did a great job with our little Lilo. We have a 10 week old French bulldog puppy and had a last-minute trip out of town and we’re very relieved to have help from Evelyn during this time. She made sure to send pictures and videos of both visits that she did today and they were very much appreciated. ❤️
Harmonie did a great job taking care of our cats! I reached out to her last minute and she responded right away, and was available to come the next day. She sent lots of photos and a detailed report with each visit. It was so reassuring to know that my fur babies were being so well taken care of while I was out of town!
