7. Maggie D.
About: Hey there! My name is Maggie and I just moved to Sarasota from Denver, CO. I am also a dog mom to my sweet 3 year old pup, Frankie, as well as my boyfriend’s dogs, Bear and Regan. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, which is why I love Rover! I’d love to walk, play, feed, or just hang out with your dog anytime. I have experience living and taking care of both big and small dogs, but no matter what size, I love them all! I am currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am in town most weeks and weekends, aside from the occasional weekend getaway. I have a fenced in backyard, which is where our 3 dogs love to play. I also love to get some exercise myself, so we are a big fan of walks!

15. Joshua W.
“Joshua Womack is my "go to" person for pet sitting every time we head out of town, which has been quite often lately. He has such a gentle nature with animals and has been called "the dog whisperer" among many people in our neighborhood. I can always count on Joshua to be sure that our boy Charlie is well taken care of and is very happy in our absence, which includes going on lots of walks, chasing tennis balls and of course ensuring that he has been fed and has fresh water. I never have to worry about anything when we are gone as I know that Joshua is very reliable, trustworthy and caring, and he will make sure that our pup is well-cared for and happy. I have known Joshua for a very long time and highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of an awesome person to care for your beloved pets in your absence.”

17. Lindsey H.
“Lindsey is one of the kindest and gentlest people I know, to humans and animals alike. I've seen the way she acts with her dog Tucker, and there's such a sense of love and care. She even sings to him and makes him special eggs with his breakfast/dinner. Lindsey is great with my dogs too and is always happy to give them lots of love and attention. You couldn't ask for a better person to look after your pets.”
18. Jack V.
“Jack is an amazing individual I’m so many ways. He is caring & kind hearted with extra love for animals with added attention to details would assure a pet owner their pets are in very capable hands!! Jack will do a wonderful job & leave your pets safe and happy!! He will be a wonderful asset to the Rover family!!! Melissa”
19. Marcelo R.
About: I used to have 7 dogs growing up and understand the need and care they requiere for them to be in a happy and comfortable environment I work from home, so anytime works with me. I can walk the dog whenever your say. Let me know the dogs routine and I will adapt to it. I have a yard and they will not be allowed without a leash outside the house for safety reasons. My home is welcoming and your dog will love it.
20. Elijah G.
“Elijah is a very responsible, honest, and caring young man. He loves animals and animals love him. He understands that animals need attention and is good at following their feed and walk schedules. I am a realtor and have recommended him to many clients and know other realtors who have also recommended him. Just ask for his references! You will not regret using him to care for your pet.”
