“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“Beth was amazing. We have probably never felt at such ease when leaving our puppies behind when we travel. She updated us daily and sent pics of them having the time of their life. Highly recommend and will use Beth again when we travel. 🐶💯”
“Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Leslie was a fantastic dog sitter for my 12 pound, 13 year old Malti-Poo! She went above and beyond with him as he is an older dog and needed medications given which she did willingly. She communicated with me quickly and often and sent pictures each evening of my sweet Buddy as he relaxed and played and this level of communication made me feel great about leaving Buddy with a sitter for the first time in his life. In fact, she took such great care of Buddy that he almost didn't want to leave and come home to South Carolina with me. Finally, Leslie's location was ideal and very convenient to Siesta Key and her fenced in big back yard is just what everyone wants for their dog. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nathalie watching our dog, Rocky. She was very professional but also friendly and welcoming. She sent us daily photos and videos. Rocky had a wonderful time running and playing with other dogs in the large fenced yard. I highly recommend Nathalie!”
“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”
“Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎”
“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!!!!”
“Merve took great care of both of our Maltipoos, including our puppy! She was so attentive and they both came back home exhausted annd happy after playing with Merve’s family and her dog. We would highly recommend Merve to care for your pets!!”
“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”
“Jennifer is lovely and a very caring person for my two young Havanese. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We felt confident leaving them with her. We had a video chat first and met her in person when dropping the dogs off. She showed us around where they would be playing and introduced us to her young daughter. She and the dogs seemed to hit it off.”
“Oh my gosh—our fur babies had an absolute blast! Leslie’s home is honestly more fun than our own 😂. We’ve finally found our pups’ new vacation spot. They always have company, and every animal is treated like one of her own children. We felt completely at ease knowing they were so loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“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 taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“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.”
“I was nervous the first time I used Rover but from my first meeting with Lindsey she put me at ease. My dog Finn loved her on sight and one of my. 2 cats came right up to her. Finn went to her house to stay for 4 nights and Lindsey came daily to take care of the kitties. She even brought in the mail while we were gone. Ever day she sent pictures and text messages to let us know how they were. By the time we came home Finn had more than made himself at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lindsey in the future.”
“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!!”
“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!”
South Sarasota dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Tiffany was amazing with my two boys (both large labs)! It was my first time boarding my 1-year-old puppy, and I was a little worried about how he would be with someone new. He had the best time with Tiffany. My mind was at ease knowing both boys were being well cared for. Tiffany sent pictures and updates to let me know how they were doing, which was so comforting. Will definitely be looking to use Tiffany next time I come to town - she is the best!! Cannot say enough wonderful things :)
Nathalie is an excellent dog sitter. We boarded our puggle Marley for six days, and she was easy to communicate with. She genuinely cares about her dogs and sends us daily photos of Marley. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for a three-week period we have planned in the near future.
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.
Sheryl was amazing!!! She was kind, thoughtful, and super attentive to my dog’s needs and sent me photos and updates all along the way. I appreciated her attention to detail in my dog’s routine very much. She was easy to book with and was flexible with my schedule. Incredibly positive experience and would highly recommend!!
